[0025] See also Figure 1 , which is the first preferred embodiment of the universal sling for assistive devices proposed by the utility model. The universal sling for assistive devices 1 has a main belt body 2, and the main belt body 2 has a first end 21 and a second end 22. The main belt body 2 is used to surround the user's body, such as the head, neck, shoulders or waist, etc. The first end 21 and the second end 22 are used to be fixed to the external assistive device, so that the user's body can be supported by the assistive device through the main belt body 2.

[0026] The main belt body 2 further comprises a flat first belt body 201, a second belt body 202, a third belt body 203, and a plurality of short belts 224. The second belt body 202 is clamped between the first belt body 201 and the third belt body 203, with one side fixed to the first belt body 201 and the other side fixed to the third belt body 203.

[0027] The second belt body 202 is shorter than the first belt body 201 and the third belt body 203, so the first belt body 201 and the third belt body 203 are connected to each other at the end positions of the first end 21 and the second end 22 of the main belt body 2, respectively, and the main belt body 2 forms a first hollow structure 211 at the first end 21 and a hollow area 223 at the second end 22.

[0028] Multiple short straps 224 span the hollowed-out area 223, and the two ends are fixedly connected to the first strap body 201 and the third strap body 203, respectively, thereby forming multiple second hollow structures 221 at the second end 22. The multiple short straps 224 can be arranged at equal intervals or at unequal intervals, which is not limited here. The purpose of the first hollow structure 211 is to allow the first end 21 to be fixed to an external auxiliary device, and the purpose of the second hollow structure 221 is to allow the second end 22 to adapt to different body shapes or different body parts of the user and be fixed to the external auxiliary device in the most appropriate position. This is also a feature of the utility model that is superior to existing auxiliary slings.

[0029] Furthermore, it is preferred that the multiple short straps 224 are arranged in a staggered manner with different colors, because for most people, the strength of color or pattern memory is better than the strength of quantity memory. Through the short straps 224 of different colors, the user will find it easier to identify and remember the position of the second hollow structure 221 that best suits his or her body part, making operation easier and faster.

[0030] The method of using the universal auxiliary tool sling proposed by the utility model is to first fix the first hollow structure 211 of the first end 21 on the auxiliary tool, wrap the main belt body 2 around a specific part of the user's body, and then select the most suitable second hollow structure 221 according to the user's body shape, and then fix the second hollow structure 221 on the auxiliary tool. When using it for the first time, you may have to try several times to confirm the most suitable position. Once confirmed, the second time through color or pattern can be operated quickly and efficiently.

[0031] See also Figure 2 , which is the second preferred embodiment of the universal sling for assistive devices proposed by the utility model. The universal sling for assistive devices 1 also includes a protective pad 3, which is used to partially cover the main belt body 2 to increase the comfort and safety of the user. In one embodiment, the protective pad 3 is a hollow soft sheath with openings at both ends, and has a hollow channel penetrating both ends. The main belt body 2 passes through the hollow channel, and the protective pad 3 can move to the contact position of the user's body on the main belt body 2. Since the material of the protective pad 3 is softer and the area is larger, the contact stress formed on the contact part of the user is reduced, so that the user can be provided with more comfortable support.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, it is the third preferred embodiment of the universal sling for assistive devices proposed by the utility model. The universal sling for assistive devices 1 also includes a quick-release fixing belt 4, which is arranged on the inner side of the main belt body 2, closer to the user's body. In one embodiment, the quick-release fixing belt 4 is a webbing with high tensile strength, which passes through the hollow channel of the pad 3, and has quick-release structures 43 at both ends that can be quickly separated and quickly combined, such as Velcro or quick-release fasteners. When the quick-release fixing belt 4 passes around the user's body, usually the user's back, and the quick-release structure 43 is combined with the user's abdomen, the quick-release fixing belt 4 and the universal sling for assistive devices 1 can be firmly fixed on the user, preventing the universal sling for assistive devices 1 from slipping off the user's body and increasing safety.

[0033] In another embodiment, the quick-release fixing belt 4 includes two connecting belts 41 and 42, the connecting belt 41 has a fixed end 411 and a movable end 412, and the connecting belt 42 has a fixed end 421 and a movable end 422. The fixed ends 411 and 421 are respectively fixed to the two ends of the hollow channel of the protective pad 3, and the movable ends 412 and 422 are provided with a quick-release structure 43 that can be separated and combined, such as Velcro or a quick-release fastener. When the main belt body 2 passes around the user's body, the protective pad 3 is placed on the user's back, and the quick-release structure 43 is combined with the user's abdomen, so that the universal sling 1 of the auxiliary device can be firmly fixed on the user, preventing the universal sling 1 of the auxiliary device from slipping off the user's body, and increasing safety.

[0034] Based on the same technical concept, the utility model further proposes a fourth preferred embodiment of the universal sling for auxiliary tools, such as Figure 4As shown. The universal sling 1 for assistive devices includes a long main strap body 2, the main strap body 2 having a first end 21, a second end 22 and a plurality of short straps 224. The main strap body 2 is a flat webbing, the first end 21 is hollowed out to form a first hollow structure 211, the second end 22 is formed with a hollow area 223, and a plurality of short straps 224 are spaced across the hollow area 223, and both ends are fixed to the second end 22, thereby forming a plurality of second hollow structures 221. The main strap body 2 is used to surround the user's body, the first end 21 is fixed to the external assistive device through the first hollow structure 211, and the second end 22 is fixed to the assistive device at different positions through the plurality of second hollow structures 221, so that the user's body can be supported by the assistive device through the main strap body 2. The main difference between the fourth preferred embodiment and the first preferred embodiment is that the first hollow structure 211 and the hollow area 223 of the fourth preferred embodiment are formed by hollowing out the main belt body 2; but the first hollow structure 211 and the hollow area 223 of the first preferred embodiment are formed by fixing the second belt body 202 with a shorter length to the first belt body 201 with a longer length and the third belt body 203. In addition, the fourth preferred embodiment has basically the same features as the first preferred embodiment.

[0035] In an extended implementation, the universal sling 1 for assistive devices of the fourth preferred embodiment further comprises a protective pad 3 for partially covering the main strap body 2 to increase the comfort and safety of the user. The features of the protective pad 3 are substantially the same as those of the protective pad 3 of the second preferred embodiment, and are not described in detail herein.

[0036] In an extended implementation, the universal sling for assistive devices 1 of the fourth preferred embodiment further includes a quick-release fixing belt 4, which is arranged on the inner side of the main belt body 2, closer to the user's body, and has quick-release structures 43 at both ends that can be quickly separated and quickly combined. By combining the quick-release structure 43 on the user's abdomen, the universal sling for assistive devices 1 can be firmly fixed on the user, preventing the universal sling for assistive devices 1 from slipping off the user's body, and increasing safety. Among them, the features of the quick-release fixing belt 4 are basically the same as the quick-release fixing belt 4 described in the third preferred embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0037] See also Figure 5, the universal sling 1 for assistive devices is fixed on the assistive device 5. The assistive device 5 shown in the figure is a transfer machine with a moving function, equipped with a safety auxiliary accessory 52, which is a carrying sling that can be used to carry the user in the figure. The first end 21 of the universal sling 1 for assistive devices is fixed to the assistive device 5, and the main belt body 2 is wrapped around the back of the user's neck, with the pad 3 contacting the back of the user's neck, and a second hollow structure 221 at an appropriate position is selected at the second end 22, and it is fixed to a fixed point 51 of the assistive device 5, so that the neck of the user can obtain appropriate support and protection when riding on the transfer machine. Of course, the universal sling 1 for assistive devices is not only used on the neck of the user, but can also be used on the back, waist, buttocks, and even thighs for users of different body shapes, different assistive devices, or different usage scenarios, providing a variety of fixing and supporting functions.

[0038] Apart from Figure 5 The universal sling for assistive devices of the utility model can also be applied to various other assistive devices such as lifting care machines, suspension machines, etc. It can be used alone or matched or combined with other various safety auxiliary accessories to meet the body support / protection needs of users in various usage scenarios.

[0039] In summary, the universal sling for assistive devices provided by the utility model can be fixed on different assistive devices to support and protect the user's body. The multiple second hollow structures can adapt to different user sizes and body parts. The short straps with different pattern structures can be used for quick identification and positioning. With the diverse elastic combinations, better protection effects can be achieved with fewer accessories.

[0040] The above preferred embodiments are described in detail to more clearly describe the features and spirit of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. On the contrary, the purpose is to cover various equivalent changes within the scope of the claims to be applied for the present invention.
