Ergonomically configured shoulder straps system

Abstract

A dual strap system comprises two straps arranged to cooperate with the human form in a manner whereby a heavy side load is easily and comfortably supported. One strap has a conventionally shaped pad while the other has a specially shaped pad configured with a view to the forces which are applied to it and in further view of the angle in which rests upon a shoulder. Together, these straps are affixed at a joint to form an apparatus which may be worn over both shoulders. Length adjustability is effected in view of the unique arrangement by way of four specially placed adjustment buckles. Maximum utility is realized by minor adjustments whereby one can support heavy loads in the form a bag or satchel type sack at a user's side.

1 ) A dual shoulder strap system for supporting loads at ones side comprising: 
 a) a proximal strap having two ends; and    b) distal strap having two ends,    either of the two ends of the proximal strap being affixed to the distal strap in a position significantly away from the distal strap ends, whereby a shape is formed from a front-on view which may be described as a ‘y’ shape.    
   
   
       2 ) A dual shoulder strap system of  claim 1 , a flat portion of the strap approximates angles on shoulders near either side the neck.  
   
   
       3 ) A dual shoulder strap system of  claim 1 , said proximal strap and said distal strap further being comprised of a pad portion.  
   
   
       4 ) A dual shoulder strap system of  claim 3 , the pad of said proximal strap is curved.  
   
   
       5 ) A dual shoulder strap system of  claim 4 , said proximal strap is affixed to said distal strap at an angle to cause the strap surface to match the shoulder angle.  
   
   
       6 ) A dual shoulder strap system of  claim 5 , said straps are affixed to each other by sewing.  
   
   
       7 ) A dual shoulder strap system of  claim 6 , said straps have a sewn overlap for strength.  
   
   
       8 ) A dual shoulder strap system of  claim 1 , further comprising two adjustable buckles on the proximal strap before the ends.
