Portable back carrier for carrying a person

摘要

The disclosed portable back carrier is formed of flexible generally nonextendable strap means, to have shoulder loops, link straps connected off of the shoulder loops, and foot loops connected off of the link straps. A strap is connected between the shoulder loops, to locate the loops on the carrying person and to fit around the carried person's upper body. A strap is connected off of the load links, just above the foot loops, to locate the loops on the carrying person and to fit around the carrying person's midsection. Release buckles and friction slides may be incorporated in the straps to allow the back carrier to be easily used by both the carrying person and the carried person, and to fit such persons of different sizes. Thus, the carrying person can fit the shoulder loops onto his/her shoulders with the link straps depending along his/her sides, and the carried person can fit his/her feet into the foot loops and be supported thereby by standing adjacent the back of the carrying person while facing in the same direction.
