Claims20
A carrying device, comprising:
- a housing having:
- a bottom and an exterior wall extending from the bottom and defining an outer perimeter of the carrying device, wherein the carrying device is configured to be carried on a carrying side of a user so that the exterior wall has an interior side toward the user and an exterior side away from the user;
- and a handle repositionably attached to the housing at a plurality of positions such that the handle moves laterally across the carrying device between the interior wall and the exterior wall in a first configuration and remain fixed at one of the plurality positions relative to the housing in a second configuration,
- wherein the carrying device has a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, wherein the exterior wall is contoured such that the first portion is configured to be positioned directly in front of the user, the second portion is configured to be positioned directly behind the user, and the third portion is configured to connect the first portion to the second portion, where a relative position of the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion are positioned to create a free space between the first portion and the second portion such that a portion of the user can be positioned in the free space when the user is carrying the carrying device, wherein the exterior wall is contoured to provides an empty weight distribution of the carrying device of 30 percent to 70 percent of an empty weight of the carrying device positioned on one side of a side plane and 70 percent to 30 percent of the empty weight of the carrying device is positioned on an opposite side of the side plane of the carrying device where the side plane is oriented along on a tangent of an exterior perimeter of the user at the waistline on the carrying side of a user when the user is carrying the carrying device.

A carrying device, comprising:
- a housing defining:
- a first portion,
- a second portion, and
- a third portion extending between the first portion and second portion,
- wherein the housing of the first portion, second portion, and third portion create an interior cavity of the carrying device;
- and
- a handle having a first attachment end and a second attachment end, the handle configured to movably couple in a first, non-carrying configuration and in a fixed couple relative to the housing in a second, carrying configuration so that the handle retains a relative position to the housing in a carrying position, a combination of the movably couple and fixed couple arrangement of the handle to the housing is configured to permit the first attachment end of the handle and the second attachment end of the handle to be positioned in a first relative position to the housing in a first fixed carrying position and a second relative position to the housing in a second fixed carrying position so that the handle may be is selectively positioned during use, the first fixed carrying position and the second fixed carrying position are different and positioned laterally across the carrying device from each other, wherein the carrying device has a longitudinal axis oriented generally between the first portion and the second portion, and a lateral axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis across the third portion.

A carrying device, comprising:
- a housing defining:
- a first portion,
- a second portion, and
- a third portion extending between the first portion and second portion,
- wherein the housing of the first portion, second portion, and third portion create an interior cavity of the carrying device;
- and
- a handle having a first end and a second end, the handle couples to the housing at an attachment location, wherein the coupling between the handle to the housing permits the attachment location to move in a first, non-carrying configuration and fixed relative to the housing in a second, carrying configuration so that the handle retains a relative position to the housing in a carrying position that may be selectively positioned in different attachment locations across the carrying device in the second, carrying configuration.
