Benefits of technology

[0004]The present invention relates to a backpack, particularly a backpack exoskeleton, which is a combination of a backpack and exoskeleton. The invention relates to a backpack with built-in exoskeleton legs, which transfers most of the weight of the backpack to the ground surface. The wearer of the backpack exoskeleton can engage and disengage the exoskeleton legs when desired while wearing the backpack exoskeleton. The backpack exoskeleton contains two exoskeleton legs, a right exoskeleton leg and a left exoskeleton legs, which can be extended from the backpack exoskeleton and attached to the appropriate legs of the wearer. The exoskeleton legs extend downward along the app

Problems solved by technology

Embodiment Construction

[0028]Referring now to the drawings wherein the depictions are for purposes of illustrating a preferred embodiment of the present invention only and not for the purpose of limiting the same. FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of a backpack exoskeleton 100 of the present invention. The backpack exoskeleton 100, incorporates the exoskeleton onto the frame of the backpack, on a backpack frame 110 whereby becoming a part of the backpack itself. FIG. 1 depicts the backpack exoskeleton with the legs up whereby allowing it to function like an ordinary backpack with a backpack load 120 where items are carried. A shoulder strap right 132 and a shoulder strap left 134 held together by a should belt 130 which aids in supporting the weight of the backpack load 120 by the shoulders of the user. A waist belt 142 goes around the users waist and held together by a waist strap 140, which aids in redistributing the weight over the waist of user. FIG. 2 is a side perspective view of the backpack exoske...
