A carrier for carrying sporting equipment and other items comprises a base member that is assembled to a pair of shoulder straps, to be carried in the manner of a backpack. Depending on the type of equipment to be carried, one of a plurality of interchangeable equipment-specific members is selected and secured to the base member in a simple and efficient manner, without the use of tools. The chosen type of equipment to be carried is then secured to the corresponding equipment-specific member. The base member may comprise a female dovetail joint, opening toward the top, and each of the equipment-specific members a corresponding male dovetail, so that the desired equipment-specific member can be assembled to the base member by simply sliding the male dovetail into the female dovetail, and gravity will retain the desired equipment-specific member in the desired position. In a further improvement, the male dovetail may be part of an intermediate member, which allows relative rotation of the equipment-specific member though a limited range.

1. A carrier for sporting or other equipment, comprising: a base member;a pair of shoulder straps affixed to said base member, allowing a user to wear said carrier;an equipment-specific member adapted to receive and securely retain a predetermined item of sporting or other equipment; said base member and equipment-specific member each comprising elongated members, one defining a passageway with an open end and a closed end, and the other comprising a member sized to be able to slid into and retained in the passageway, such that gravity will retain the associated members in the desired position while the carrier is being worn, while permitting removal and replacement of the equipment-specific member without the use of tools, and wherein said equipment-specific member comprises adjustable posts for defining a space within which a predetermined item of sporting or other equipment can be disposed. 2. The carrier of claim 1, wherein said passageway is provided in the base member and said member sized to be able to slide into and retained in the passageway is provided on the equipment-specific member. 3. The carrier of claim 1, wherein the passageway is configured as a female dovetail and said member sized to be able to slide into and retained in the passageway is configured as a male dovetail. 4. The carrier of claim 3, wherein the female dovetail is provided in the base member and the male dovetail is provided on the equipment-specific member. 5. The carrier of claim 1, wherein said equipment-specific member has assembled thereto at least one strap for retaining a corresponding predetermined item of sporting or other equipment. 6. The carrier of claim 5, wherein said strap is a ratcheting strap. 7. A carrier for sporting or other equipment, comprising: a base member;a pair of shoulder straps affixed to said base member, allowing a user to wear said carrier;an intermediate member;an equipment-specific member assembled to said intermediate member and adapted to receive and securely retain a predetermined item of sporting or other equipment;said base member and said intermediate member each comprising elongated members, one defining a passageway with an open end and a closed end, and the other comprising a member sized to be able to slid into and retained in the passageway, such that gravity will retain the associated members in the desired position while the carrier is being worn, while permitting removal and replacement of the equipment-specific member without the use of tools; andwherein said equipment-specific member is permitted to rotate about an axis through a limited range of motion with respect to said intermediate member and be secured at a desired position along said range of motion. 8. The carrier of claim 7, wherein said passageway is provided in the base member and said member sized to be able to slide into and retained in the passageway is provided on the intermediate member. 9. The carrier of claim 7, wherein the passageway is configured as a female dovetail and said member sized to be able to slide into and retained in the passageway is configured as a male dovetail. 10. The carrier of claim 9, wherein the female dovetail is provided in the base member 10 and the male dovetail is provided on the intermediate member. 11. The carrier of claim 7, wherein said equipment-specific member has assembled thereto at least one strap for retaining a corresponding predetermined item of sporting and other equipment. 12. The carrier of claim 11, wherein said strap is a ratcheting strap. 13. The carrier of claim 7, wherein said equipment-specific member is adapted to be retained at one of several distinct positions along said range of motion. 14. The carrier of claim 13, wherein said base, intermediate and equipment-specific members are each generally planar and one of said intermediate and equipment-specific members is provided with an arcuate slot spaced from said axis and the other thereof with a pin fitting within said arcuate slot, whereby said arcuate slot limits the range of rotation of said equipment-specific member with respect to said intermediate member. 15. The carrier of claim 14, wherein said arcuate slot is provided on said intermediate member and said pin is provided on said equipment-specific member. 16. The carrier of claim 14, wherein a block wider than said arcuate slot is fixed to one end of said pin, said pin slides within a bore in the member in which it is provided, a plurality of recesses to receive said block are formed in the member in which said arcuate slot is formed, and said pin is spring biased to urge said block toward said recesses, whereby in order to move said equipment-specific member from one of said several distinct positions to another the pin is moved against said spring bias so as to urge said block out of one of said recesses, whereby said equipment-specific member is free to rotate about said axis. 17. The carrier of claim 11, wherein said equipment-specific member comprises structure confining the corresponding predetermined item of sporting or other equipment so as to be securely retained when said strap is tightened. 18. The carrier of claim 17, wherein said structure confining the corresponding predetermined item of sporting or other equipment comprises adjustable posts for defining a space within which the predetermined item can be disposed.
