HAMMOCK SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240016285 titled 'HAMMOCK SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Simplified Explanation
The bridge hammock system described in the patent application consists of a suspension system and a load-bearing sling. The suspension system includes a suspension line with first and second ends, while the load-bearing sling has a load support surface region and a side panel region. The first end of the suspension system has a first slope, and the second end has a second slope. The side panel region supports the load support surface region and integrates a curve of the suspension system with the load-bearing surface region. This configuration ensures that the collective slope of the suspension system is greater than zero, with tension forces on the first end directed upwardly and tension forces on the second end directed laterally or downwardly.
- The patent describes a bridge hammock system with a unique suspension system and load-bearing sling.
- The suspension system includes a suspension line with first and second ends, each defining a slope.
- The load-bearing sling has a load support surface region and a side panel region.
- The side panel region integrates a curve of the suspension system with the load-bearing surface region.
- The configuration ensures a collective slope of the suspension system greater than zero.
- Tension forces on the first end of the suspension system are directed upwardly.
- Tension forces on the second end of the suspension system are directed laterally or downwardly.
Potential Applications:
- Camping and outdoor recreational activities
- Military and emergency response operations
- Construction and maintenance work at heights
- Temporary shelter or sleeping arrangements in disaster-stricken areas
Problems Solved:
- Provides a stable and comfortable sleeping or resting platform in outdoor environments
- Distributes the load evenly to prevent pressure points and discomfort
- Allows for easy setup and adjustment of the hammock system
- Provides a secure and reliable suspension system for various applications
Benefits:
- Enhanced comfort and support for users
- Improved stability and safety compared to traditional hammocks
- Versatile and adaptable for different environments and situations
- Easy to set up and adjust according to user preferences
Original Abstract Submitted
a bridge hammock system comprises a suspension system and a load bearing sling. the suspension system comprises a suspension line and defines first and second ends. the load bearing sling has a load support surface region for supporting the load and a side panel region. the first end of the suspension system defines a first slope, and the second end of the suspension system defines a second slope. the side panel region supports the load support surface region from the suspension system. the side panel region integrates a curve of the suspension system with the load bearing surface region such that a collective slope of the suspension system is greater than zero, tension forces on the first end of the suspension system are substantially upwardly directed, and tension forces on the second end of the suspension system are at least one of substantially laterally and substantially downwardly directed.
