1. A system for carrying objects in an installation workplace such as wooden shingles for installation on the siding of a building comprising: a carrier for such objects, a waist belt supporting said carrier and adapted to encircle the waist of an installer of such objects and a shoulder yoke having a shoulder encircling mid portion terminating in a pair of yoke arms downwardly extending from said shoulder mid portion on either side thereof adapted to be supported by the shoulders of the installer and adapted for connection to said waist belt to support such belt and to alternatively solely support said carrier, said carrier having walls including a rear wall so as to define an open topped configuration for receipt of said objects, said waist belt comprising an elongated web having opposed ends having connection means to connect said opposed web ends to position the belt on the installer's waist, said waist belt web having inner and outer planar surfaces wherein said inner surface is adapted to contact the installer's waist and said waist belt web having the first part of a pair of main two-part quick connect means attached thereto in longitudinally spaced relationship thereon, the second part of said pair of main quick connect means being attached to said rear wall of said carrier in the approximately same longitudinally spaced relationship as said spacing of said first part of said pair of main two-part quick connect means positioned on said belt such that when the first and second parts of said main quick connect means are interconnected with each other the carrier will be supported in front of the installer with the open top thereof accessible to the installer, a pair of secondary two-part quick connect means mounted respectively between said waist belt web and said yoke so as to provide secondary support to said belt and thus said carrier when the shoulder yoke is worn by the installer and when both the first and second parts of the secondary quick connect means are interconnected with each other, the first part of said two-part secondary quick connect means mounted on said waist belt web in longitudinally spaced relation thereon and proximal to the mounting of the first part of the pair of the main two-part quick is connection means, the second parts of the secondary quick connect means mounted at said ends of said yoke arms, said second parts of the secondary quick connect means releasable from their respective first parts and adapted to interconnect with the second parts of the main quick connect means that are attached to the rear wall of the carrier so that the carrier when separated from the belt can be supported entirely by the yoke in an alternate position to the side of the installer as when climbing a ladder. |
