Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A reconfigurable portable load bearing structure which can be configured into an extended load bearing configuration or a collapsed configuration, comprising of a first, second and third plurality of rail segments that are each rotatably coupled together and a plurality of support segments or pads which are configured to selectively couple and latch into one of a plurality of positions on said first, second and third plurality of rail segments.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A method of assembling a portable and collapsible load bearing structure to an extended load bearing configuration from a collapsed configuration, comprising: providing a portable and collapsible load bearing structure in a collapsed configuration including a plurality of securing elements that secure said portable and collapsible load bearing structure in said collapsed configuration; unstacking and separating said portable and collapsible load bearing structure into a first, second, and third plurality of folded rail segments and a plurality of support segments; extending and securing said first, second, and third plurality of folded rail segments to create a first, second and third collapsible rails; placing each of said first, second and third collapsible rails into such a location that they are parallel with each other; placing or sliding each of said plurality of support segments onto said first, second and third collapsible rails in such a position that said plurality of support segments can support a human-shaped load; adjusting the positions to accommodate a specific human-shaped load; securing said plurality of support segments in place; and placing said human-shaped load onto said portable and collapsible load bearing structure. 2 . A method as in claim 15 , wherein a larger support segment, a harness, a pull cable, a plurality of hand grips, or a plurality of at least one wheel is attached to said portable and collapsible load bearing structure.
