Exoskeleton system

Abstract

An exoskeleton (100) system comprises at least one garment selected from the group consisting of a shirt or vest (110), short or pants (120), an upper arm sleeve (130), a lower arm sleeve (140), a thigh sleeve (150), and a leg sleeve (160) wherein the garment is a multilayer construct that essentially comprises an inner layer (201) of nylon material, a middle layer (202) made of neoprene, an outer layer (203) made of plush material; and an article (300) with attached hook and loop fasteners (301) to be mounted onto the garment by securing the hook and loop fasteners (301) onto any spots of the outer layer (203).

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to garments to be worn by a user that the garments serve as an exoskeleton. Moreover, the garment has an outer surface which is made of plush material and allows anchorage of useful devices onto the garments with the use of hook and loop fasteners.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Various garments have been specially designed for promoting performance and recovery progress of athlete. For example, most of the performance enhancing garment is loaded up with exogenous weight to be worn by the athlete during training session. Consequently, this stimulates generation of body muscle in the athlete for exerting additional force to cope with the exogenous weight put on. Many of the commercial products available in the market work on this principle to enhance sport performance in athletes as well as to promote general fitness for the active person.[0003]United Kingdom patent application no. 2359497 discloses a progressive weighted exe...

Benefits of technology

[0009]A further object of the present invention is to disclose an exoskeleton system capable of enhancing recovery progress and overall neuromuscular, physiological and psychological function upon wearing the disclosed system on its own. Specifically, the present invention is made of material with good pliability and it is intended to be worn in a snug fit fashion. The exoskeleton in its contracting state applies compressive force onto the body part following which promotes several positive responses including but not limited to, favourable blood flow, enhanced muscle contraction, improved stabilization and confidence during movement and a positive thermogenic effect in the specific area.

[0010]Still another object of the present invention is to disclose an exoskeleto

Problems solved by technology

The mentioned inventions lack the flexibility which allows users to customize themselves regarding the body parts to be loaded with exogenous weight.

A limitation of this can be, for example, athletes of a particular sport may need neuromuscular or physiological development in only spec
