DEFINITION

Classification: 224/262

And attaching means extending circumferentially of torso:

(under subclass 261) Carrier including means extending circumferentially of the bearer's torso.

(1) Note. Included here is a carrier having a pair of straps or other attaching means respectively crossing the bearer's shoulders, and a strap or other attaching means which extends either partially or completely about the circumference of the bearer's torso to secure the carrier assembly to the bearer. Hence, a strap which extends between two shoulder straps at the bearer's back for the purpose of keeping the shoulder straps from spreading apart is not considered to serve the purpose of attaching the carrier assembly to the bearer's torso. However, two strap respectively connected to opposite lower corners of a knapsack supported on the bearer's back,

and joined in front of the bearer's torso by a buckle, are considered to serve as means for attaching the knapsack to the bearer's torso.
