Abstract:

Dual carrying pouch for carriage of mail, packages, magazines, newspapers, or the like, consisting of two opposing pouches or bags suspended by belts, straps, or harnesses, the harnesses including shoulder straps and waist belts. Padded shoulder straps are adjustable vertically in the forward frontal area, as well as in the rear back area, by adjustable buckles, common straps or webbing adjusters, and provides for lateral adjustment of the forward lower ends of the shoulder straps through a pectoral belt, buckle adjuster, and shock snubber. Adjustable hip pads secure to the dual carrying pouches and include a front tensioning belt, front adjustable buckle, and a rear back tensioning belt and adjuster. Shoulder harnesses and waist belts act together or independently of each other to provide for load distributions equally upon user's shoulders and hips or similarly so as to distribute load weights solely upon user's shoulders or hips, as desired, by adjustment of the belts and adjuster buckles. Either males or females can use the pouch based on its extreme range of adjustability and load shifting capabilities, which also includes a pectoral adjuster belt and shock snubber which allow flexibility and adjustment of the shoulder straps about the chest area of the user regardless of sex.
