Embodiment Construction

[0035] figure 1 The orthopedic device according to the first embodiment of the invention is shown in the worn state. It has a base body 2 which is designed in the form of a belt and a fastening rod and which is arranged on the torso 4 of the wearer of the device. The required stability is achieved by the waist belt 6 . The waist belt simultaneously serves as a force introduction element.

[0036] The device has two supports 8 which each have an articulation 10 on which a telescopic rod 12 is arranged. The slider element 14 is located on the telescoping rod and the arm sleeve 16 is located on the slider element.

[0037] figure 1 The arm shown on the left in the middle is shown in the raised state. The telescoping rod 12 is retracted so that the slider member 14 is positioned relatively close to the wearer's shoulder. The lowering of the arm from this position will cause a pivot in the hinge 10 which corresponds to a movement in the second direction. As long as the joint...

Abstract

The present invention comprises a device for supporting at least one arm of a user, said device having: - at least one main body (2) for placement on the torso (4) of the user; and - at least one support system (8) for supporting the arm, the support system (8) being mounted on the main body (2) to move relative to said main body (2) by means of at least one joint (10). The joint (10) allows the support system (8) to move relative to the main body (2) in a first direction and prevents movement in an opposite second direction in any position lying within a predefined position range of the support system (8) relative to the main body (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for supporting at least one arm of a user, wherein the device has at least one base body for placement on the torso of the user and at least one support mechanism for supporting the arm, wherein the The supporting mechanism is movably arranged on the base body relative to the base body through at least one hinge. Background technique [0002] With such a device, the arms of the wearer of the device are supported and / or guided, which is advantageous especially for persons who have to work with their head or with arms extended and / or raised. In order to achieve a load-relief here, so that these persons do not have to resist the acting gravitational force by pure muscular forces for a long time, orthopedic devices have been known for some time, by means of which at least one arm is to be unloaded and supported. Such a device can also be designed as an orthopedic device. [0003] Thus, for example, a device is known from...
