20140305982 | CENTRAL OSTEOARTICULAR RELIEF AND PERFORMANCE STRUCTURED LOAD DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM DEVICE AND MODULAR SCALABLE VEST SYSTEM - The present invention is a loadbearing device known by the Applicants' as the “Central Osteoarticular Relief and Performance Structured Load Distribution System” (“CORPS-LDS”), which is worn by a user to help distribute the weight of a load being carried or borne by the user. More specifically, the weight is substantially shifted from the user's shoulders to their hips while not overly inhibiting the user's range of motion. Furthermore, it is an aspect of the CORPS-LDS to distribute the weight being carried in a manner that reduces the strain on the spine and back while lessening the metabolic expenditure of the user. Moreover, the present invention is a protective vest system that utilizes the present invention's CORPS-LDS. | 10-16-2014 |
