Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An adjustable load transfer apparatus adapted to transfer a portion of a load between a torso-covering garment and a belt at the user's waist. The apparatus includes a post adapted for insertion into the interior passageway of a female body. The insertable post includes cutouts disposed in spaced-apart, stacked relation along a lateral edge. The thickness dimension of the insertable post is such that the insertable post can pass beneath a locking tooth in the female body when the locking tooth is in a raised position. The cutouts are sized and positioned to receive the locking tooth when the locking tooth is lowered. The apparatus is adapted to releasably engage webbing loops disposed at the surface of the torso-covering garment and/or the belt structure.
