Benefits of technology

[0008] Various exemplary embodiments of a container support device according to this invention provide a support device that includes a platform-like portion on which a container may be placed. The device is usable to interact with an article of clothing (including clothing accessories). When the device interacts with an article of clothing, the device helps distribute the weight of the container to the article of clothing, thereby transferring weight of the container to a person's body.
[0011] According to various exemplary embodiments of the devices, systems, and methods according to this invention, a person can carry relatively heavy containers, such as, for example, containers holding books, files, computers, instruments, and clothing, without the level of discomfort associated with conventional shoulder strap(s).

Problems solved by technology

Pressure caused by the above-described conventional shoulder strap(s) can cause pain, fatigue, and injury to a user.
However, this conventional waist strap design has proven unacceptable for the businessperson and / or leisure traveler who has found backpacks with such waist straps complicated, cumbersome, and unsuitable for the business and / or travel environment.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]FIGS. 1-2 show a first exemplary embodiment of a device 100 for supporting a container according to this invention. In this embodiment, the device 100 is comprised of a small, strong, lightweight support which is comfortably worn by a user by joining a first part 103 of the device 100, with a user's article of clothing 113. The first part 103 could be for example a hook, a clasp, or any other structure suitable for joining the device 100 with a user's article of clothing 113. The device provides a substantially flat platform-like second part 105 on which a container 111, such as a briefcase or catalog case, may be set. As such, the platform-like second part 105 may transfer all or some of the weight of container 111 to the user's article of clothing 113. Because the user is wearing the article of clothing 113, a portion of the weight of container 111 transferred to the user's article of clothing 113 will be borne by a portion of the user's body through the article of clothing ...

Abstract

A container support device includes a first part configured to interact with a user's article of clothing and a second part configured to interact with and / or support a container, wherein, when the first part interacts with the user's clothing and the second part interacts with and / or supports the container, at least a portion of the container's weight is supported by the user's clothing.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of Invention [0002] This invention relates to devices, systems and methods for supporting containers. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Briefcases, computer carrying cases, instrument cases, carrying cases, shoulder bags, backpacks, catalog cases, suitcases, and other containers are typically provided with one or more handles and / or shoulders straps for transporting the containers on one's person. When one of the above-described containers is carried by utilizing the shoulder strap(s), the entire weight of the container and its contents is placed upon the carrier's shoulder, or shoulders. Pressure caused by the above-described conventional shoulder strap(s) can cause pain, fatigue, and injury to a user. [0005] Some conventional backpacks designed for camping and long distance trekking have attempted to alleviate pressure on the shoulders by including a waist strap that transfers a portion of the load from a person's shoulders to ...
