Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9105493A1] Rucksack hip pads (21, 22) are each provided with recessed regions (13) in the surface which contacts the user's body and extending to the lower edge thereof, these recessed regions being configured to fit onto the respective hips of the user. The upper edge (15) of the recess (13) transmits the load downwardly to the pelvic girdle, thereby reducing inward compression thereof. The pads are produced of foamed plastics and may be moulded with integral recesses. Stiffening may be provided in the non-recessed parts of the pads, conveniently as a web fixed to or embedded in the opposite surface. A combined lumbar and hip pad may alternatively be provided, having symmetrical recesses for both hips.
