Embodiment Construction

[0038] figure 1 A device for supporting a user's arm is shown, said device having an arm support element 2 with a distance element 4 and an arm sheath 6 , which in the illustrated embodiment has a force Transmission element 10 and support element 12 . The device also has a passive actuator 14 in the form of a spring element.

[0039] The arm support element 2 is fastened to the force transmission element 10 of the support 8 so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis 16 , which can also be referred to as a pivot axis. Furthermore, a force application lever 18 is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on the arm support element 2 , on which a force application point 20 is located, on which force application point 20 can be applied by the passive actuator 14 .

[0040] The force application lever 18 can be in two states. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the force application lever is in a first position in that it is arranged on the arm support element 2 and in particular on ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for supporting at least one arm of a user, wherein the device comprises a. at least one arm-support element having a respective arm cuffrest for supportingplacing ona respective arm, b. at least one passive actuator which is designed to exert a force on at least one of the arm-support elements, and c. at least one counter-weight for the force to be applied, having at least one force-transmitting element and a counter-weight element, wherein the device has at least one force application lever which is rotationally fixed to one of the arm-support elements or the force-transmitting element and encloses an angle with same, and on which the at least one passive actuator impacts, wherein the angle can be adjusted.

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 arm support element, each having an arm sheath for being placed on the corresponding arm; at least a passive actuator configured to apply a force to at least one of the arm support elements; and at least one bracket for the force to be applied, the bracket having at least one force transmission element and bracket element, wherein the device has at least one force-action lever, which is non-rotatably connected to one of the arm-support elements or the force-transmitting element and encloses an angle, at least A passive actuator acts on the force acting lever. Background technique [0002] Such a device is known, for example, from the unpublished DE 10 2017 112 436 . [0003] Devices capable of supporting the arm are known from various documents. The device described in US 2016 / 0081871 A1 has, for example, a support element which is desig...
