Abstract
A combination canoe carrier and camp chair. The carrier supports an inverted canoe on a person's back and is also capable of being converted to a folding camp chair. The chair includes two rectangular frames pivotally connected intermediate their ends. Webbing is secured to the frame to provide seat and back portions and the frames are interconnected by straps to provide a chair configuration. In the canoe carrier mode a web interconnects upper ends of the frames to support the thwart of the inverted canoe. Suitable shoulder straps and a hip belt are also attached to the carrier.
Description
C~RTN~n CANOE CARRIER AND CHAIR
r~R~o~-n OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to camping equipment and more particularly to a combined back pack and folding camp chair which is adapted for carrying a canoe.
Carrying a heavy and long canoe any distance over rough ground poses a problem. Canoes, particulary white water canoes, are heavy (typically from 50 to 90 pounds in weight) and from 12 to 18 feet in length. This makes them difficult for one person to lift and carry. Two people may lift a canoe more easily but because of the unevenness of the terrain and obstacles, such as rocks and roots, each tends to walk at differing speeds throwing the other off balance. There is a risk of injury if one person stumbles, throwing the other person off balance. Traditionally, a single person portages the canoe, alone. As a consequence people of lesser strength cannot portage canoes and even those strong enough frequently avoid travel on rivers with long or arduous portages.
A second difficulty with canoe camping is seating at the end of the day. Usually by then a canoeist has tired muscles particularly in their back. Traditionally, canoeists sit on the ground or a log. These can be wet, cold! dirty and hard and provide little or no support for a fatigued back. Some canoeists take folding camping chairs but these add extra weight and are awkward to portage.
A number of back pack and chair combinations have been proposed. However, these pack frames are not particularly suitable for comfortably and safely supporting a canoe. The provision of a practical canoe carrier requires re-dimensioning the chair frame to provide the optimum carrier shape while keeping in mind that a usable chair is also desirable.
-The prior combination pack frames and chair do not appear to have any means for engaging cross members of an inverted canoe.
Transporting a canoe by an individual has been traditionally accomplished by balancing a centrally located thwart of the canoe or a yoke on the person's shoulders, and thus the weight of the canoe rests heavily on the neck and shoulders.
An example of a prior attempt at providing a canoe carrier on a pack frame is shown in U.S. Patent 3,734,367. However, no attempt has been made to use the pack frame and another frame member to provide a camp chair.
The present invention seeks to overcome these problems by the provision of a carrier to redistribute the weight from the shoulders to the waist and hips alleviating pressure points and arm and back strain while improving the balance and allowing free use of at least one hand.
The present invention further seeks to provide a carrier on which a canoe can be readily positioned by the individual.
The present invention therefore seeks to provide a pack frame having adjustable means thereon for holding a cross member of a canoe and which also provides the required framework for a folding camp chair.
This invention greatly increases physical comfort of the person carrying a canoe. It allows an individual to walk farther over more difficult terrain without resting. It allows people of lesser strength, to carry a canoe where they would otherwise be unable to do so. It gives the person carrying the canoe better balance with less likelihood of falling, even allowing a free hand for a walking stick.
- 212g699 Accordingly the present invention provides an apparatus which functions as a combination backpack frame and canoe carrier and is convertible to a folding camp chair, said apparatus comprising first and second frame assemblies having upper ends, and ground engageable ends when used as a chair, each frame assembly including parallel side members, and transverse members, pivot means connecting the side members of the first and second frame assemblies, a web extending between upper ends of the frame assemblies to form a back rest and a seat portion, and straps extending between upper ends of the side members to maintain the frame members angularly disposed to each other to provide the chair function; and a carrier belt and shoulder straps on said frame assemblies for use in the carrier mode and means joining the upper portion of a first frame member with a ground engageable portion of the second frame member to support a cross member of an inverted canoe therebetween.
BRI_F DRSGRTPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In the accompanying drawings which show preferred embodiments of the invention:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the combination canoe carrier and chair prior to use in the carrier function;
Figure 2 is a diagrammatic view of the canoe carrier of this invention in position on a person carrying a canoe;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the carrier in the chair function;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of an alternative construction of the combination canoe carrier and chair; and Figure 5 is a perspective view of the frame of the carrier of Figure 4.
Referring now in detail to the drawings the combination canoe carrier and camp chair apparatus is shown generally at 10 in Figure 1 and is shown supporting a canoe 12 in Figure 2.
212~699 The carrier 10 supports the inverted canoe 12 when used for carrying purposes and is capable of being used as a folding camp chair lOA as shown in Figure 3.
The carrier comprises first and second rectangular frame assemblies 14 and 16, which have ends 18 and 20 respectively, and opposite ends 22 and 24 respectively.
Each of the frame assemblies has parallel side members 26 and 28 and transverse member 30 and 32. The frame assemblies are preferably constructed of light weight tubing welded or joined by mechanical "T" connectors.
The side members 26 and 28 of the first and second frame assemblies 14 and 16 are pivotally interconnected intermediate the ends as by bolts 34 and 36.
As shown in Figure 3 a webbing 40 of suitable synthetic fabric is provided on the frames 14 and 16 to form a seat portion 44 and a back rest 46 on the chair lOA. It will be appreciated that a major portion of the webbing 40 will be against the wearer's back when the apparatus is used in the carrier mode.
The transverse member 32 which is preferably curved is at the wearer's waist so that a belt 60 secured thereto extends around and is secured to the wearer's waist.
Shoulder straps 64 and 66 are secured to the frame assemblies 14 and 16 in any convenient manner to hold the apparatus 10 on the wearer's back in a substantially vertical position. A web or plurality of straps 68 is adapted to extend between the ends 18 and 20 of the frames assemblies 14 and 16.
The inverted canoe 12 as shown in Figure 2 has a cross member or thwart 70 which is adapted to be supported on the straps 68.
In the chair mode the frame ends 20 and 24 of the frame assemblies 14 and 16 engage the ground. Transverse member 22 is ~1246~9 the leading edge of the chair lOA. Straps 50 and 52 extend between the frames 14 and 16 to retain the frames in the chair mode. Straps 68 shown in Figures 1 and 2 may be used to form straps 50, 52.
Alternatively the canoe carrier and chair can be constructed of light weight tubing as shown in Figures 4 and 5. The rectangular frames 114 and 116 have ends butted and welded or flared to provide telescopic joints at 117. The frame members are pivot connected as by bolts 134 and 136. Transverse portions 130 and 132 of frames 114 and 116 are preferably contoured as described above. In the carrier mode a belt 160 extends around the wearer's waist and shoulder straps 164 and 166 are also provided. Each shoulder strap extends from frame 114 to frame 116 as described above. Suitable pads 167 are carried by the shoulder straps. A web formed of straps 168 is adapted to extend between ends of frame members 114 and 116 to support the canoe in the carrier mode described with reference to Figure 2.
In the chair mode, straps 164 and 166 extend between frames 114 and 116 to provide the chair structure as shown in Figure 4.
Straps 164 and 166 are fastened to the frames 114 and 116 by rings 119. Buckles (not shown) are also secured to straps 164 and 166 so that adjustments can be made.
Belt 160 is preferably equipped with a slip-on or snap-on pad 162 as shown in Figure 5. In use in the canoe carrier mode, the belt, pad and shoulder straps are positioned or attached as necessary and the carrier 10 is ready to be secured to the wearer's back as shown in Figure 1.
However, if carrier 10 has been used as chair lOA, straps 68 are detached from the leading edge of the chair seat and the free ends are secured to the ground engaging end 20 of frame 16 thereby interconnecting frames 14 and 16 to provide the web means for supporting a thwart 70 of the canoe 12 as shown in Figure 2.
21246g9 Use of the carrier shown in Figure 5 is similar to that of the carrier of Figure 2. The pad 162 is positioned on the belt 160 through loops 161, the shoulder straps 164 and 166 are slipped over the shoulders of the wearer and the belt 160 is secured about the wearer's waist. The canoe 12 is then loaded on the carrier 10 preferably with the help of a second person, so that the thwart 70 of the canoe 12 engages the straps 168 of the carrier 10.
