Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of Mobility Solutions, and more particularly, the present invention relates to the multifunctional load carriage system with solar lighting and braking mechanism.
BACKGROUND FOR THE INVENTION:
[0002] The following discussion of the background to the invention is intended to facilitate an understanding of the present invention. However, it should be appreciated that the discussion is not an acknowledgment or admission that any of the material referred to was published, known, or part of the common general knowledge in any jurisdiction as of the priority date of the application. The details provided herein the background if belongs to any publication is taken only as a reference for describing the problems, in general terminologies or principles or both of science and technology in the associated prior art.
[0003] Life will likely revolve around the physical carrying of bulk loads of firewood, agricultural produce, water, and staple commodities along long, challenging trails in remote hill, rural, and forest areas. Most people employ traditional modes like head loads, rucksacks, or shoulder slings. Affordable and simple as they are, they have worse drawbacks. First, tension and fatigue of muscles due to load-bearing on shoulders, head, or back directly put tremendous stress on joints, muscles, and spine. This is bound to be the source of backache, tiredness, and stress, especially when walking or descending miles. Secondly, the rough and no-support road surfaces characteristic of mountain or forest roads, symbolized by high, narrow, and uneven paths, make support and light a top priority. The traditional way of carrying is devoid of light and support, which heightens the risk of experiences in terms of slips, falls, and injuries, especially when descending. Thirdly, darkness or lack of adequate light during early morning or evening makes visitors prone to attack or injury by animals. Very few current solutions carry sufficient light for safe night travel. Fourthly, there is no option for resting during long hauls; users must search for flat ground or be supported from outside, and in doing so, must offload their load, which is inconvenient and detracts from load security. Finally, when equipped, big and non-folding wheelbarrows or carts are usually intended for flat terrain and are not part of a module. They are not transportable, storable, or transformable in other types of loads and body states of the user.
[0004] In light of the foregoing, there is a need for the Multifunctional load carriage system with solar lighting and braking mechanism that overcomes problems prevalent in the prior art.

[0016] Other objects and advantages of the present disclosure will be more apparent from the following description, which is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
[0017] The present invention provides a multifunctional load carriage system with solar lighting and braking mechanism.
[0018] Carrying heavy loads of food, implements, farm produce, or firewood in every hill, rural, and forested place is a daily chore for many people globally. Mostly, it is done on their shoulders or backs on long, rough, steep roads, typically in the dark at night. Minimum carrying devices such as unadorned backpacks or sacks offer little support, protection, or comfort, tiring such journeys and occasionally putting accidents or injuries at risk. Physical strain and ground can lead to damage, mobility loss, and mishaps. Given these flaws, the present invention presents a smart, friendly load carrier to eliminate these individual flaws and make load-hauling simpler, more comfortable, and secure.
[0019] The invention's centerpiece is a two-wheel bearing system that distributes the weight evenly and substantially reduces the user's back and shoulder burden. Under this framework, the user can push or pull the load instead of carrying it fully, which causes less physical strain. Most importantly, brakes are fitted on the wheels when going down a slope or while driving on a rough, slippery road to prevent slipping and falling since they provide excellent safety while driving in unfavorable conditions. Solar lights are made to solve the issue of poor visibility while driving in dawn, evening, or night conditions. They are recharged during the day and emit light in the dark, so their users can easily sense the obstacles and move around safely.
[0020] The lighting system minimizes accidents and instills user confidence in people who walk during the day and night, particularly in isolated areas or forests where there is no stable power supply. Another considerate feature is an integrated sliding seat where one can sit conveniently without looking for a worthy resting place. The seat slides in and out of the frame effortlessly and does not shift, providing a ready, instant break after a long journey. Not only does this aid the user's endurance, but it also encourages healthier mobility by provoking habitual rest. The system also has padded cushioned belts and straps that are made to take the load without straining the body.
[0021] The straps evenly distribute the weight without changing the position of the load while in motion, saving one from injury and making the process less exhausting. The users are also equipped with better ergonomics if they pull or lift the system. A foldable container unit makes for convenient storage and can transport various forms and dimensions. When not in use, it can be folded for convenient transportation and storage, allowing users to store limited storage space or means of transport due to the system being adjustable and modular. Such adaptability benefits many individuals, ranging from crop carriers who are farmers to loggers who carry equipment or provision deliverers to remote homes. In short, this invention is an intelligent, ergonomically designed trolley that minimizes physical load to a large extent, enhances safety in terms of braking and solar illumination, and provides restful resting accommodation. Lightweight, foldable, and easy to operate, it is carefully designed to meet the day-to-day requirements of mountain and rural life and assist the occupants in carrying out their work more conveniently, safely, and comfortably.
[0022] This invention introduces a way of helping people carry heavy loads in rough, hilly, or rural areas where traditional methods like backpacks or sacks often cause pain and injury or make travel unsafe. What is new and different here is not just one feature but how all the features are thoughtfully combined into a single, smart system explicitly designed for the real problems people face in such terrains. Here is what makes it novel:
[0023] Pull-Assist, Not Back-Breaking: Unlike traditional backpacks, which place all the weight on the shoulders or head, this system lets the ground take most of the weight. It is pulled using strong but comfortable straps, like a smart backpack on wheels, which makes it much easier on the body.
[0024] Wheels + Brakes – A Game Changer: Ordinary carts may have wheels, but they do not have brakes. This one does. That is a huge deal on slippery slopes or steep hills where losing control can be dangerous. It can be stopped safely anytime.
[0025] Built-In Seat – Rest without Unloading: No solution lets one take a break without finding a rock or bench. This system has a sliding seat, so one can sit and rest anytime, anywhere, without unpacking stuff.
[0026] Solar-Powered Lights – For Night Safety: Carrying loads at night is risky. This invention has solar lights built in, so people are visible and can see where they are going even in pitch darkness—without needing batteries or electricity.
[0027] Foldable and Modular – Smart Storage and Adaptability: This is not a one-size-fits-all bulky cart. The container folds up when not in use, and the system can be adjusted for different people, loads, and uses, whether it is carrying vegetables, water, or tools. It is even suitable for both women and elderly users.
[0028] Complete Solution for a Real Problem: There are carts. There are backpacks. There are torches. However, none combine comfort straps, rolling support, braking control, solar light, resting seat, and foldable body, all built for rugged, rural life. Thus, this invention is like a “smart helper on wheels”; it does not just carry your load; it protects your body, lights your path, lets you rest, adapts to your needs, and folds away when not needed. That makes it novel, not a minor upgrade, but a whole new, thoughtful solution for a long-standing rural challenge.

[0038] The present invention provides Multifunctional load carriage system with solar lighting and braking mechanism.
[0039] In much of the world's distant, mountainous, and forested areas, the labor of delivering everyday provisions, including firewood, water, produce, and equipment—is still an arduous, backbreaking, and dangerous task. Individuals in these areas are relegated to using only human muscle power to transport heavy, bulky loads along rough terrain without the benefit of roads, motorized vehicles, or cars. This load is usually carried by oppressed groups such as women, children, and older people who put the load on the shoulder, head, or back with improvised appliances such as cloth wraps, plaited baskets, or plain sacks. The practices have remained unchanged for centuries and provide little or no ergonomically relevant protection, and relief in these regions is yet another pressing issue as paths become slippery, muddy, steep, and stony in the monsoons or interior woods. Dim evening light increases the chances of slipping, falling, or colliding with wild animals, so many hasten their trip or travel in fear. Constant load-holding on the body results in long-term back pain, neck pain, joint pain, and physical fatigue, lowering efficiency and overall health. Foreseeing such multi-faceted challenges, this invention offers a well-designed, ergonomic load-carrying system appropriate for such an environment. It aims to minimize physical loading and maximize safety and utility; it features a double-wheel frame with brakes, solar lighting for improved visibility, a resting bench, modular containers, and ergonomic harnesses. It enables people to move goods more efficiently and securely, with more respect and less danger. In doing so, the invention resolves a centuries-old issue, enhances the standard of living, and promotes sustainable development in several of the most impoverished societies in the world.
[0040] This invention is an intelligent, multi-purpose carrying system developed specifically for people who work and reside in rural, hilly, and forested landscapes. In contrast to regular carrying systems or rude, non-land-friendly carts, this system offers a well-considered, consumer-friendly product that simplifies carrying goods along long and challenging terrain. At its most basic, it is like an intelligent trolley but with an added package of smart, topography-sensing functionality that makes it a super-efficient, safe, and hassle-free mode of transport. Among its significant features is a two-wheel base for stability with improved load balance and stability, lower body effort, and manual braking with controlled traction on slopes and wet roads—a requirement on sloping roads. Solar-powered integral lighting offers night vision and security without drawing power from a source external to the pack. Integral sliding seat integration allows individuals to sleep without losing their loads or finding an appropriate resting area—a big perk on long treks. The system features ergonomic back and waist straps for comfort, stability, and damage protection. Its foldable container module can carry varying loads and capacities, while the folding structure allows simple storage and carriage during idle time. The model also exists in a very customizable form concerning fitting various body shapes or customer needs. Overall, the invention presents a new, humane, and efficient alternative to man-carrying that is safe, wear- and tear-free, and improves villagers' lives in remote villages.
[0041] The twin-wheel bearing system is a crucial and integral part of the invention that occupies the central position in transforming heavy-load transportation during unfavorable weather conditions. Conventional load-carrying techniques, e.g., the backpack, head-load, or shoulder sling, make it compulsory for the carrier to bear the full load. The consequence of this can be massive physical stress, discomfort, and a high injury rate. In contrast, the two-wheel system of this invention significantly reduces the burden on the individual. It transfers it to the machinery, sharing the weight equally between two heavy-duty wheels. They are specially designed with deep, aggressive tread to achieve more traction on rough, bumpy, and slippery terrain typical of rural, hilly, and forested areas. This grip serves to prevent slipping as well as to provide balance, both of which are typically the leading contributory causes of falls and accidents during the process of loading cargo. The wheels are built in a heavy-duty construction that will endure daily abuse of use in rugged terrain such as mud, rocks, roots, and loose ground. Aside from utility, the system has a manual brake. The brake provides safe downhill speed control, which is impossible with most other standard carts or carry systems. The drivers can engage the brakes and pull grades downhill without tipping over or losing traction. Thus, dual-wheel braking has a revolutionary impact on stability and safety, lowering the effort and effort required to tow heavy loads over rough ground. The invention overcomes a fundamental flaw in current load-carrying technology and gives unprecedented relief to users subject to repeated physical loading.
[0042] Having understood the enormous necessity of visibility and security under darkness, this invention intelligently incorporates solar-powered LED lights as one of the light aspects of safety. In most rural and forest locations, individuals merely walk early in the morning before sunrise or late at night much later on inadequately lit roads. This technology employs sun-powered LED lights as one of the incorporated safety features. This absence of illumination significantly raises the risk of slipping, tripping, and colliding with things or even with animals. Having faced these risks, the system employs only an energy-efficient mode of sunlight-powered light. There is a rugged solar panel on the unit to capture sunshine throughout the day and charge a rechargeable battery mounted inside the unit to drive high-efficiency LED lights placed strategically at the front and sides of the load-bearing structure. The LEDs throw intense, focused light to illuminate the user's path and identify rolling terrain, rocks, roots, and other potentially hazardous objects. The light also makes the user highly visible to other traffic users, residents, or road users—minimizing the chances of accidents when traveling at night or in lower light conditions. Solar power-driven, this lighting system does away with the use of outside batteries or dependability on an electric current that is generally non-existent or unreliable in remote communities. The green and solar-powered LED lamp is simple to maintain, providing steady and assured light that enables individuals to move freely and safely anywhere. This is a pioneering innovation in individual security for those who travel through rugged terrain.
[0043] The invention's most valuable and remarkable feature is the inclusion of a built-in sliding seat to provide an immense amount of comfort and leisure on long trips. Most rural and mountainous regions have minimal level ground to sit on. Leveled rocks, stumps, or open spaces are rare, rough, or dirty. This lack of safe resting places makes a person continue moving despite weariness or offloading weights to rest, time-consuming uses, and inconvenience. A sliding seat under the load-carrying system addresses the necessity for an instant, speedy, safe, and sanitary resting alternative. When they need to rest, the seat can be folded or shifted aside from the main frame without offloading their load. Thus, they can rest and get some rest without sacrificing the safety or stability of their load. It is convenient for elderly individuals, children, or less physically stable users who tend to take long and tiring trips on bumpy roads. Created to be secure and stable, the seat is constructed to hold securely and safely the weight of an adult when sitting on sloping or uneven terrain. It is balanced in design, will not tip or lean during use, and is stable. The seat is also lightweight and folds neatly back into the device without extending when stationary. In addition to this sliding seat, the invention is greatly improved with additional comfort and ease of use for users, opening up physically demanding travels to more and safer use.
[0044] Ergonomics plays a fundamental and revolutionary role in designing this invention with the knowledge that users' health, comfort, and safety are the ultimate concerns—especially those of the users relying on manual load carrying daily under severe conditions. Traditional modes of transporting like head-loading, shoulder slings, or plain backpacks subject the body to heavy and uneven loads and cause backaches, fatigue, and long-term musculoskeletal injury to the back, shoulders, knees, and hips. These are aggravated by the uneven and rough terrain characteristic of hills and forests, where balance and posture become crucial to avoid accidents. In order to satisfy these demands, the system has ergonomically contoured, padded harnesses with waist belts and shoulder straps. The harnesses accommodate users of all body shapes, sizes, and strength levels with a tailored firm fit, which disperses the load as it is transferred. By providing a more even weight distribution around the torso, hips, and lower limbs, the harness system reduces isolated pressure points and overload of any group of muscles or joints. Dispersing the forces allows for maintaining a natural posture, increases balance, and removes unwanted forward or backward tilting, generating stress or inducing falls. The shoulder straps are also well padded with shock-absorbing materials to protect from shocks of jolts and vibrations when climbing over uneven terrain. Moreover, the waist harness places the load in the body's middle gravity to maintain the load in balance while climbing or descending a slope. This combination would shift the weight of most loads to the legs and pelvis, being more load-stronger bearing points for heavy loads, thus easing pressure upon weak points like the spine and shoulders. Material selection also favors comfort and ergonomics. The harnesses are constructed from materials that feel comfortable to breathe against, are evaporative, provide room for ventilation, and regulate sweat collection upon strenuous exercise. Such performance benefits warm and humid environments where excess moisture can cause irritation, rubbing, and discomfort. The materials prolong user tolerance by drying and cooling the skin, reducing fatigue and discomfort with longer wear durations. The system's design also eliminates unavoidable pressure points and areas of friction that cause blisters or abrasions, problems known to be encountered with traditional backpacks and straps. The flatness and cushioning of the streamlined material positively complement each other to protect sensitive skin, a specific concern for patients who need the device to be worn on a full-time basis. The ergonomic harness system is an enlightened blend of human factors design strategies, biomechanics, and materials science. It increases short-term load-carrying safety and comfort and avoids long-term physical injury, enabling users—many of whom are rural subsistence farmers deriving their livelihood from carrying loads on foot—to stay healthy and fit. The technology transforms an age-old drudgery into an easier, healthier chore, making a huge difference to rural people's daily lives.
[0045] For the satisfaction of various needs of users in rural, hilly, and forest areas, the invention also comprises a foldable and modular container unit that can optimize its application and use. The storage unit is designed in a highly flexible shape and can be sliced into various shapes, such as boxes, sacks, or trays, depending on the capacity and type of load to transport. This capacity is necessary because the nature of cargo transported varies—ranging from bulk sacks of maize and firewood bundles to water jugs, hand tools, or a family pet. The flexibility of the container to be deformed and alter its shape makes all these different kinds of cargo transportable without shifting and consequent damage in transit. Modularity enables users to adjust the unit to their requirements, adding or subtracting units without using special tools. This enables direct adjustment when the load is heavy, awkwardly shaped, or fragile. A farmer, for instance, would employ a solid box shape to transport harvest produce, whereas a woodchopper can set to a sack shape to accumulate firewood. The system also provides for resizing or substituting parts to fit different body sizes and strengths of users to ensure improved comfort and useability. The container unit is also foldable into a very small space when idle or not in use, so the whole system will fit within a small house or be driven with a car. The foldability also reduces bulk; the system can even be brought with when it has already been employed and discarded. The foldable and modular container unit significantly contributes to the convenience and functionality of the invention in keeping up with the timeliness of rural living.
[0046] In order to satisfy the intricate needs of users in rural, hilly, and forest regions, the invention incorporates a foldable and modular unit container that significantly increases its adaptability and usefulness. The storage module is multifunctional, offering to change shape into different shapes like boxes, sacks, or trays based on the type and quantity of load to be transported. This adaptability is necessary because the commodities carried are highly diverse—ranging from heavy bags of grain and bundles of wood to jugs of water, equipment, or even small animals. The unit's modularity to be reassembled to change size and shape guarantees that any such differentiated forms of freight are delivered securely, inhibiting movement and preventing damage during transit. Modularity allows the operator to adapt the unit to their specification, adding or subtracting modules with minimal effort without requiring a specialized plant. This allows rapid adaptation when the load is heavy, awkward, irregularly shaped, or delicate. For example, a farmhand would employ a solid box configuration to transport harvested greens, and a forest worker would switch to a sack format for transporting firewood. Also, the system is designed to be resizable or with replaceable parts to accommodate personal users' body size and strength so that it is comfortable and easy to use. In its unloaded or idle state, the container is tightly folded, making the entire system more conveniently stored in small houses or moved around in cars. This also lightens bulk, making it possible for the system to be moved even when unloaded. Overall, the foldable and modular container unit greatly improves the portability and practicality of the invention, making it highly suitable for the varied needs of rural life. This invention is an important advance over the design of conventional wheelbarrows and hand carts, surmounting long-standing difficulties for operators under many types of terrain and economic conditions. Although applicable in certain situations, conventional tools are cumbersome, clumsy, and restricted, particularly when utilized on sloping or irregular ground. Their inflexibility makes them cumbersome in confined spaces or hauled over extended distances. In addition to that, they are also light since they lack the security measures customers require in the third world. The existing invention, on the other hand, is convenient and adaptable. It is portable and light, hence extremely easy to move and store in handy lengths. This is highly convenient for customers who have little room or are constantly required to move from one place to another. Whether in urban areas with narrow alleyways or rural areas with unpaved roads, the small size and foldability of the device make it a convenient traveler. Also, the device handles rugged terrain, i.e., steep rocky ground, without compromising user control or safety. An essential feature that makes this innovation unique is its inbuilt braking system. In most hilly or mountainous situations, even slight steepness will considerably threaten to carry heavy loads. In the case of regular carts, there is minimal or no support in such a situation, with only little else remaining but the capacity of humans to endure and not to lose control. By adding a dependable and easy-to-use braking system, this invention allows riders to control descents safely without assuming the risk of accident or harm. The braking system is not optional but necessary in regions where rough and steep trails are the norm. Another highlight of the lighting system is an answer to a primal need typically lost in manufacturing. Power is patchy or non-existent for much of the world, especially in underdeveloped or rural communities. Roads and trails can be completely unlit, and there are hazardous conditions for late afternoon or early morning travel. The combined brightness of the lighting system allows the user to be seen in low light, which promotes personal safety and task productivity. Beyond mere convenience, lighting is a lifeline—a life-giving necessity to get through poorly illuminated spaces where one misstep will result in harm.
[0047] Additionally, the invention is economical in its design. Affordability allows the technology to be readily adopted by small-scale industries and the masses at an affordable cost, particularly in emerging economies. The materials and components are selected with long-term durability, easy replacement or repair, and availability. The practicality of such design ensures long-term use, and the innovation is not merely a machine but a sustainable device. Finally, the invention is both a reaction against and a solution to the inadequacy of existing technology. It provides the user with greater mobility, better control, and safety features it needs, proof of a high level of understanding of the conditions and surroundings in which it would be applied.
[0048] Ecological accountability is an innate principle integrated into the design culture of this invention. As a conscious afterthought, ecological accountability is not merely an afterthought but integrated at all levels—from the selection of materials to energy sourcing and recycling. Renewable and recyclable materials are utilized, reducing production carbon footprint by several folds. These materials are selected for recycling and potential repurposing or safe degradation after the completion of the product life cycle. This eliminates waste and encourages a circular economy model aligned with sustainability objectives. Solar energy is one of the innovations that have been added to the system. This minimizes dependency on non-renewable energy sources and makes the invention especially suitable for energy-poor or off-grid regions. Solar-powered parts, such as the lighting system, improve performance with lower operating costs and environmental footprint. This energy independence guarantees use twenty-four hours a day, even in inaccessible areas with insufficient or non-existent electricity. In addition, the invention incorporates maintainability into its design. Its components are simple to comprehend, durable, and repairable with available local materials and tools. This extends the product life and stimulates local economies by forming repair industries and micro-enterprises. By enabling decentralized manufacturing and servicing, the invention enables individuals, creates job opportunities, and minimizes dependence on distant supply chains. Essentially, the design is green, socially responsible, and aware, demonstrating that functionality and sustainability can—and should—go together in contemporary tool-making.
[0049] Barely put, this ergonomic load-carrying design system beats the inadequacies of traditional transport aids, not only an appliance but a next-generation mobility aid based on specifications of rural, hilly, and forest areas. How it is designed reflects an intimate knowledge of life on the ground in geographically and economically disadvantaged communities where mainstream infrastructure is non-existent or poor. In contrast to industrially produced wheelbarrows and carts, whose primary emphasis is industrial conformity over user appropriateness, this system fills the gap between customary practicality and modern innovation. The core idea of this innovation is human centrism; thus, ergonomically designed to minimize manual effort, the system aims to minimize fatigue and musculoskeletal loading. This is especially significant where human power continues to be the dominant method of transport and upkeep daily. The adjustable handles, evenly balanced weight, and shock-absorbing materials all together form an even, less burdensome process to move loads. This, in turn, increases the productivity of such activities as farming, wood cutting, and water transport and maintains its users' overall long-term health and well-being. Safety and versatility also arrive at the value of the system. Enjoying a good braking system dispels a ruthless danger in sloping ground, where losing control might lead to drastic harm or loss of goods. Enjoying a solar-powered lighting system installed to lighten dark areas makes early morning and evening commuting safer at dawn and dusk. Such constructions, typically of traditional luxurious forms, are considered in this context as necessities that respond directly to users' basic everyday requirements. What is rendering this solution revolutionary is the focus on empowerment and sustainability. Being as far as possible cost-free, the system utilizes recyclables and local repairables so that its advantage is not confined to initial use but extended across its lifespan. This also makes decentralized manufacturing and repair possible to facilitate the local economy and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains. The invention facilitates resilience and local self-determination by allowing the local community to construct, adapt, and repair the device independently. Its foldability and modularity also represent an additional level of convenience and flexibility that is not the norm with conventional transport equipment. Whether walking along forest trails, trekking across rugged country, or hiding it out of the way, its users benefit from its versatility. It is not just a gadget but rather user mobility and autonomy. Finally, this ergonomic carrying system is a wondrous, modern answer to the as-old-as-civilization question: how to carry loads well. It is an inexpensive but preventive solution that turns mobility to the worst of its head. By decreasing physical labor, enhancing security, and encouraging sustainable development, this technology can change the lives of the world's poor settlements.
[0050] Our patent concept, therefore, relates to hilly or rural and forest regions, where people are saddled with the backbreaking ordeal of hauling long distances with weighty loads, usually over primitive, sloping, and undulating terrain. Conditions of this kind present formidable physical and logistical challenges, especially in societies where mechanized means of transport are unimaginable or unfeasible. Other traditional load-carrying techniques, such as head-carrying, hand-borne baskets, or plain carts, offer minimal assistance and add to the load on the bearer. They are not generally fitted with ergonomic aspects of design, brakes to travel down slopes under control, or light loads to carry under conditions of poor visibility and are therefore unsuitable for such terrain. In order to fulfill such far-reaching requirements on load carrying, an economical, man-focused, contained load carriage system with novel energy, security, and comfort in consideration is the minimum without compromising portability and economy.
[0051] This invention offers a lightweight, foldable, and comfortable apparatus adapted for far-field and hard-terrain applications. The system also has intrinsic contrasts that distinguish it from other transport aids. It uses a solar-powered light module in the first place, through which users can become mobile in the night or evening in a dark situation without depending on other power sources. It is suitable and necessary when in off-grid locations with no streetlight or electricity availability or dependability. Second, to fulfill such long-range loads-carrying requirements, an elastic, ergonomic, and self-contained system with new safety, power, and comfort in design is a bare minimum without compromising portability and economy. This invention creates a light, collapsible, compact, handy tool, especially for far-field and hard-terrain applications. The system also incorporates inherent contrasts, which set it apart from other transport equipment. Double-wheels and hand-brake availability offer more management on inclines and significantly reduce slipping and injury potential going down. Third, an integrated sliding seat enables riders to recline without touching the ground—a culmination of additional ergonomic and sanitary considerations for longer or repeated transport usage. Besides, the system has secure shoulder and waist belt straps that spread the body loading uniformly to reduce musculoskeletal loading and comfort when worn for a long time. The unit container is also foldable and modular; hence, the device may be adjustable to suit different loads in terms of type and size. This flexibility allows the system to be adapted to various transportation needs—ranging from agricultural products and firewood to commodity haulage for rural villages. The component-based nature and the components themselves allow repair and assembly on a decentralized basis, making decentralization and sustainability possible. Lightweight and flexible in shape, the system is scalable for application by individuals and small businesses and is implementable across several geographies without training and infrastructure requirements. The added feature of its foldable design can potentially make it portable to many places and easily stored, increasing its value even more. The invention is a forward-thinking product that combines modern functionality with functional rural needs and, thus, an excellent material for those who work and reside in distant and geographically hostile areas.
[0052] The Multifunctional Load Carriage System is the perfect size solution for walking over challenging hills and rural or rocky terrain. Its core focus is a load container in the center (7), specially designed to offer balance and stability when carried. Centralized load, this bag avoids spilling and tipping risk by a landslide, allowing the carrier to carry with complete security even on slopes or rugged terrain. This center bucket supports foam-padded, ergonomically shaped shoulder straps (11) with heavy-duty but gentle fabric augmented by top-of-the-line padding (12) that furnishes the user's back and shoulders. This configuration loads the weight evenly across the top body and lowers back support with no detectable fatigue or strain when used over prolonged periods. Another of the most significant features of this carriage system is its very advanced dual-wheel configuration. The light rear wheel (2) but heavy-duty wheel improves stability on the bumping ground. Also included in the design is a mechanical shock absorber (8) to take care of bump and bumping ground shock. Two front wheels of high diameters (1) have been particularly chosen for the best grip and smooth ride over rocks, roots, and slopes. Each front wheel features a manual braking system (13) that the user can use to provide a safe ride down sloping or slippery ground. Pneumatic shock absorbers (14) on the other wheels reduce shocks and vibration to give a smoother, less jerky ride, comforting the user and minimizing load jolting. The sliding, retractile seat of the system (9) is an excellent solution for users who want to take frequent breaks during long travel. Sliding side to side and snapping itself into place without any other part of the seating, the seat nestles itself beautifully onto the frame. It provides the user a secure and comfortable place to sit, adding comfort and convenience, especially in mountain or rural regions. The carriage system has solar-powered LED lights for additional safety and use during early morning, late evening, or night journeys (6). It is powered by a small solar panel (5) placed on top of the frame, charging the battery on a day-night basis. The stand-alone lighting system makes it possible for the user and load to be visible to other road users and further up the road, even without an external power source. Ease of use is also facilitated by adopting an ergonomic shape handlebar (10), which is intended to be comfortably easy to grip and hold, either in the carriage motion or simply the simple action of stopping to rest. A brake control lever (3) was placed in a position to respond to the ground, allowing the driver to quickly and accurately regulate the braking mechanism to introduce safety to slippery downhill routes or during emergency braking. Folding in nature, the carriage frame folds and is simple to navigate through and accommodate in tight spaces. This flexibility works best for those customers who need to lug the system in small vehicles or carry it over a long distance without a load. Overall, the Multifunctional Load Carriage System is a rugged, stiff, and comfortable innovation well-suited for people carrying farming products, inputs, or other products in adverse environments. Providing stability, comfortability, controllability, and renewable energy capability is a safe and energy-saving means of transporting loads that can change under changing situations and luminosity levels, enabling the user to be less physically strained and more effective. Therefore, the Multifunctional Load Carriage System possesses a superior array of advantages that render it an attractive piece of equipment to be employed by subjects operating under mountainous, rural, or austere conditions. Its fixed load box avoids spillage and instability for effective and safe transfer. Thus, ergonomic design, such as cushioned shoulder straps and lumbar support on the lower back, reduces strain and enables one to carry heavy loads over long distances without fatigue or injury. A high-performance double-wheel system with mechanical and pneumatic shock can absorb and thus provide stability on rough terrain. This provides enhanced mobility and safety. A Manual front-braking system gives individuals full control of descents and prevents accidents while providing confidence to the rider on challenging descents. The sliding seat, retractable and integral to the bike, is a comforting resting facility, allowing endurance and doing away with external seat searching in long stretches of riding. Solar-powered LED lighting enhances front visibility in night riding situations, facilitating safe driving during early morning, evening, or nighttime riding without an external power source, which is extremely convenient under rural driving situations. The streamlined handlebar look and convenient operation of the brake supply a smooth turn-in response and fast braking response, providing overall user response and safety improvements. Besides that, foldability provides increased usability and ease of storage, which is also convenient for users to utilize in the event of carriage moving or storing in limited spaces. In short, the overall design consists of performance and reliability, customer comfort, and pioneering technologies answering the nature of hauling loads over challenging terrain to offer a workable, safe, and eco-friendly solution that enables customers to finish their tasks earlier and securely.
