Abstract (en)

The present invention provides a load transfer belt (15) for use with a load carrying apparatus (10), to transfer load from the load carrying apparatus (10) to the hips of a user. The load transfer belt (15) has a plurality of load transfer elements (54) positioned along the length of the belt. Each of the load transfer elements (54) are joined to at least one adjacent load transfer element (54) by a rotational joint (57). The rotational joint (57) defines an axis of rotation transverse to the length (L) of the belt. The rotational joint (57) permits the load transfer belt (15) to encircle a user's body.
