Convertible backpack frame

A backpack frame convertible between a frame worn by a hiker to a cot for the hiker, the backpack frame comprises:

• a first U-shaped member having a closed end and an open end,
• a first intermediate member having a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end is hingably connected to the open end of the first U-shaped member,
• a second intermediate member having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end of the first intermediate member is hingably connected to the distal end of the second intermediate member,
• a second U-shaped member having a closed end and an open end, the proximal end of the second intermediate member is hingably connected to the open end of the second U-shaped member, and
• wherein the backpack frame is convertible from a frame position to a cot position,
• wherein the first intermediate members nests within the first U-shaped member, the second intermediate member nests within the first intermediate member, and the second U-shaped member nests within the second intermediate member, when the backpack frame is in the frame position,
• wherein the first U-shaped members includes a pack rest, the pack rest extends away from the single plane, and the pack rest includes rearward extending members affixed at the open end of the first U-shaped member with a brace interconnecting the rearward extending members,
• wherein the first U-shaped member includes a plurality of canopy struts movable from a collapsed position to a deployed position,
• wherein the second U-shaped member includes a plurality of canopy struts movable from a collapsed position to a deployed position,
• a canopy for enclosing a resting area when the backpack frame is in the cot position,
• a pair of first legs hingably connected at the closed end of the first U-shaped member,
• a pair of fifth legs hingably connected at the closed end of the second U-shaped member,
• a fourth pair of legs with a brace therebetween hingably connected to the second U-shaped member,
• the second intermediate member has no legs connected thereto,
• wherein the first intermediate member includes a forwardly extending members at the distal end of the first intermediate member with a brace therebetween,
• a pair of third legs are hingably connected to an end of the forwardly extending member, and
• a wire harness for connecting a rechargeable device and/or light within a resting area to an energy source when the backpack frame is in the cot position wherein in the frame position the first U-shaped member, the first intermediate member, the second U-shaped member, the fourth pair of legs connected to the second U-shaped member, and the fifth pair of legs connected to the second U-shaped member lie in a single plane.
