CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS AND PRIORITY
The present application claims no priority from any of the patent application(s).
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to the field of an adjustable weight redistribution system (AWRS). More particularly, the present invention relates to the AWRS configured to transfer the weight of a jacket from person’s shoulders to waist.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This section is intended to introduce the reader to various aspects of art, which may be related to various aspects of the present disclosure that are described or claimed below. This discussion is believed to be helpful in providing the reader with background information to facilitate a better understanding of the various aspects of the present disclosure. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements in this background section are to be read in this light, and not as admissions of prior art. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.
There are various types of jackets, garments and vests are used by people for various purposes. A bullet-resistant jacket is well-known protective gear equipment which is used by individuals for operational requirements. In general, bullet-resistant jackets are used by military personnel, security officers, law and enforcement agents for protection against gunfire shots or blast impact. The bullet-resistant jacket is itself heavier due to plurality of layers of bullet-resistant sheets or material within the jacket garment. Also, some additional equipment such as communication sets, magazines, grenades, rifle mountings and other accessories are mounted over such bullet-resistant jackets. These additional accessories again cause an increase in the overall weight of the bullet-resistant jacket.
In some examples, other heavy equipment such as firefighter gear, climber’s or worker’s bag packs, agricultural sprayer pumps, industrial jackets, disaster relief gear etc. are continuously carried by individuals for their operational requirements. These jackets and equipment are heavier in weight and carried over the shoulders of a person working in difficult environments. Additionally, extra accessories are carried along with jackets by individuals which increases the weight on the shoulders.
It can be observed that carrying such huge amounts of load on the shoulder for a longer time can cause inefficiency and lack of productivity in work. Further, shoulder strain experienced by individuals can lead to fatigue, discomfort, and potential health problems such as shoulder strain, muscle pain, and even joint issues in the long term. The heavy jackets or bag packs are carried by individuals during difficult conditions such as combat situations, hiking difficult terrains, and disaster management. Therefore, using these heavier jackets or gears for a longer time in such a difficult situation becomes uncomfortable for the user.
In existing art, various solutions are introduced for the redistribution of weight of heavier jackets or equipment from persons’ shoulder to other body parts. In particular, the weight redistribution system is introduced to redistribute load from shoulder to waist. The present redistribution system in prior example is installed directly on the jacket surface by using straps. Also, other means such as straps, buckles, fasteners etc. are used to install the redistribution system on the jacket surface. In some examples, the redistribution system is installed on the front side, or back side or left/right side of the jacket.
The installation of redistribution system using straps leads to problem such as misalignment and non-stability of the system. The military or disaster management personnel work under various difficult conditions and hence require reliable solutions for redistribution of weight from the shoulder. Therefore, misalignment or non-stability of the system challenges the reliability of the system during difficult operational conditions. Further, such an arrangement also lacks in providing any additional safety to the person from external impact. Under certain combat conditions, immediate movement and external impact can provide damage to the body or spine of the military person. Further, the prior system does not provide any shock absorbing features to mitigate such external impact. Therefore, there is a need of some additional arrangements along with redistribution system to improve reliability and safety.
Additionally, prior examples disclose an adjustment mechanism with a wire for operating the redistribution systems. This mechanism is connected to the bottom of the weight redistribution system. However, the adjustment mechanism is inconveniently placed on either the right or left side of the jacket, requiring the user to uncomfortably bend their arm to access it. Furthermore, placing the wire at the rear bottom side poses significant operational difficulties, as the relative motion of the bottom part of the redistribution system disrupts the wire's position. This design also introduces a notable risk of the wire becoming entangled with other accessories or gear on the jacket, further complicating its use.
In light of the above stated discussion, there exists a need of an improved weight redistribution system to overcome at least one of the above stated disadvantages.
