Abstract (en)

A combination cot and backpack having first (14) and second (16) equal sized rigid frame sections which are hinged together at one end and pivot between a closed position to form a backpack (10) and an open position to form an elevated cot (12). First (80) and second (82) sheets of flexible material are laced tautly between side portions (24,34) of the first and second frame sections (14,16). A third frame section (40) telescopes out from the second frame section (16) to provide additional length for the cot. The third frame section (40) is covered by a third sheet (94) which unfolds from the second sheet (82) and is held tautly by connectors (112,114) underneath. The frame sections (14,16,40) are made of tubular aluminum and have rigid downwardly extending u-shaped cross portions (26,28,36,38,46) which provide legs for the elevated cot. Removable elongated storage pouches (132) fit between the hinged frame sections in the closed position. A detachable carrying harness (48) extends from a closure strap (62) with a buckle (64) which extends around the pack to hold it in the closed position.
