Abstract

A backpack adapter comprising a generally L-shaped frame having a user side and a load side. The user side is provided with at least two coupling means for coupling a shoulder strap means thereon, the coupling means being spaced apart from each other. The L-shaped frame comprises a top L portion and a bottom L portion and the shoulder strap assembly is placed on either coupling means in order to either have the bottom L portion closer to the ground than the top L portion or reversibly have the top L portion positioned closer to the ground. The adapter can be used in at least two significantly different configurations: one by which the bottom L portion is used to carry a load on an upper side of said bottom L portion, the other by which the bottom L portion is used as a rack from which objects are hung.
