Abstract

A load-bearing belt that employs first forward projecting lever and second forward projecting lever and first rear lever and second rear lever to ultimately cause a backpack or baby pack to lift upward. This upward lift provides the user some respite from the weight and pressure of a backpack or baby pack. The user manually moves the first forward projecting lever and second forward projecting lever in a downward motion, which in turn raises the first rear lever and second rear lever in an upward motion through the combined assistance of a first fulcrum and second fulcrum. Once the first rear lever and second rear lever lift upward, a backpack or baby pack will be forced upward and ultimately into a more comfortable position as weight burden is alleviated from the back and shoulders.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A load-bearing system, comprising:
 a waist belt having a first fulcrum and a second fulcrum;   a first forward projecting lever in communication with said first fulcrum;   a second forward projecting lever in communication with said second fulcrum   a first rear lever in communication with said first fulcrum at a first end of said first rear lever;   a second rear lever in communication with said second fulcrum at a first end of said second rear lever;   said first forward projecting lever and said first rear lever configured as being unattached but for being attached to said first fulcrum; and   said second forward projecting lever and said second rear lever configured as being unattached but for being attached to said second fulcrum.   
     
     
         2 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein said first fulcrum and said second fulcrum are disposed on opposite ends of said waist belt. 
     
     
         3 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein said first forward projecting lever is in fixed communication with said first rear lever. 
     
     
         4 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein said second forward projecting lever is in fixed communication with said second rear lever. 
     
     
         5 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein said first forward projecting lever is longer than said first rear lever. 
     
     
         6 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein said second forward projecting lever is longer than said second rear lever. 
     
     
         7 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein said first forward projecting lever is telescoping. 
     
     
         8 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein said second forward projecting lever is telescoping. 
     
     
         9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein said first projecting lever and said first rear lever are in line. 
     
     
         12 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein said second projecting lever and said second rear lever are in line. 
     
     
         13 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein said first projecting lever and said first rear lever are disposed from one another such that said first rear lever extends upward and an obtuse angle is formed between said first projecting lever and said first rear lever. 
     
     
         14 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein said second projecting lever and said second rear lever are disposed from one another such that said second rear lever extends upward and an obtuse angle is formed between said second projecting lever and said second rear lever. 
     
     
         15 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein a first grip is disposed on and perpendicular to said first projecting lever. 
     
     
         16 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein a second grip is disposed on and perpendicular to said second projecting lever. 
     
     
         17 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein a first grip mechanism is disposed on said first rear lever. 
     
     
         18 . The load-bearing system of  claim 1 , wherein a second grip mechanism is disposed on said second rear lever. 
     
     
         19 . A load-bearing system, comprising:
 a waist belt having a first fulcrum and a second fulcrum;   a first forward projecting lever in communication with said first fulcrum;   a second forward projecting lever in communication with said second fulcrum   a first rear lever in communication with said first fulcrum at a first end of said first rear lever;   a second rear lever in communication with said second fulcrum at a first end of said second rear lever;   said first forward projecting lever and said first rear lever configured as being unattached but for being attached to said first fulcrum; and   said second forward projecting lever and said second rear lever configured as being unattached but for being attached to said second fulcrum.   wherein said first fulcrum and said second fulcrum are disposed on opposite ends of said waist belt;   wherein said first forward projecting lever is in fixed communication with said first rear lever;   wherein said second forward projecting lever is in fixed communication with said second rear lever;   wherein said first forward projecting lever is longer than said first rear lever;   wherein said second forward projecting lever is longer than said second rear lever;   wherein said first forward projecting lever is telescoping;   wherein said second forward projecting lever is telescoping;   wherein said first end of said first rear lever extends toward said first end of said second rear lever;   wherein said first end of said second rear lever extends toward said first end of said first rear lever;   wherein said first projecting lever and said first rear lever are in line;   wherein said second projecting lever and said second rear lever are in line;   wherein said first projecting lever and said first rear lever are disposed from one another such that said first rear lever extends upward and an obtuse angle is formed between said first projecting lever and said first rear lever;   wherein said second projecting lever and said second rear lever are disposed from one another such that said second rear lever extends upward and an obtuse angle is formed between said second projecting lever and said second rear lever;   wherein a first grip is disposed on and perpendicular to said first projecting lever;   wherein a second grip is disposed on and perpendicular to said second projecting lever;   wherein a first grip mechanism is disposed on said first rear lever; and   wherein a second grip mechanism is disposed on said second rear lever.   
     
     
         20 . (canceled)
