Backpack strap accessory devices, systems, and methods
Backpack strap accessory methods, systems, and device are provided in accordance with various embodiments. Some embodiments include a device that may include a backpack accessory. The device may include one or more attachment appendages coupled with the backpack accessory where the one or more attachment appendages are configured to couple the backpack accessory with a backpack shoulder strap. The device may include one or more rigid members coupled with the backpack accessory such that at least one of the rigid members hinder a motion of the backpack accessory in at least one direction along a length of the backpack shoulder strap with respect to a hardware coupled with the backpack shoulder strap. Some embodiments include one or more apertures formed with respect to the attachment appendages such that a sternum strap coupled with the backpack shoulder strap passes through at least one of the one or more apertures.
1 . A device comprising:
a backpack accessory;
one or more attachment appendages coupled with the backpack accessory, wherein the one or more attachment appendages are configured to couple the backpack accessory with a backpack shoulder strap such that a first attachment appendage from the one or more attachment appendages wraps around a posterior portion of the backpack shoulder strap from a first lateral side of the backpack shoulder strap and a second attachment appendage from the one or more attachment appendages wraps around the posterior portion of the backpack shoulder strap from a second lateral side of the backpack shoulder strap such that the first attachment appendage couples with the second attachment appendage to form a first aperture and a second aperture configured such that the backpack shoulder strap passes through the first aperture and the second aperture; and
a third aperture formed between a portion of the first attachment appendage and the backpack accessory, wherein the third aperture is configured such that a sternum strap coupled with the backpack shoulder strap passes through the third aperture;
one or more rigid members coupled with the posterior portion of the backpack accessory such that at least one of the one or more rigid members hinder a motion of the backpack accessory in at least a longitudinal direction along a length of the backpack shoulder strap with respect to a hardware coupled with the backpack shoulder strap, wherein the one or more rigid members include a first rigid member and a second rigid member such that the first rigid member and the second rigid member extend laterally across the posterior portion of the backpack accessory such that the hardware coupled with the backpack shoulder strap is confined between the first rigid member and the second rigid member such that the motion of the backpack accessory is hindered along the longitudinal direction along the length of the backpack shoulder strap with respect to the hardware coupled with the backpack shoulder strap.
2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the hardware is coupled with the sternum strap coupled with the backpack shoulder strap.
3 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more rigid members are formed from high density polyethylene (HDPE).
4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the backpack accessory includes one or more pockets.
5 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising a fourth aperture formed between a portion of the second attachment appendage and the backpack accessory, wherein the fourth aperture is configured such that the sternum strap coupled with the backpack shoulder strap passes through the fourth aperture in lieu of the third aperture.
6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the first attachment appendage and the second attachment appendage include a hook and loop configuration to couple the backpack accessory with the backpack shoulder strap.
7 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising one or more pads coupled with at least one of the one or more attachment appendages.
8 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more rigid members include one or more rigid bars.
9 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the first attachment appendage forms a first wing that wraps around at least a full width of the posterior portion of the backpack shoulder strap from the first lateral side of the backpack shoulder strap and the second attachment appendage forms a second wing that wraps around the full width of the posterior portion of the backpack shoulder strap from the second lateral side of the backpack shoulder strap to couple with the first wing.
