AI Technical Summary
Conventional luggage supports concentrate weight on specific body parts like the arm, waist, and back, leading to excessive burden, instability, and potential low back pain, especially when carrying heavy loads.
A luggage support device with a main body positioned vertically on the abdomen, using leverage to distribute weight to the pelvis and lower limbs, reducing strain on the waist, back, and arms.
Efficient weight distribution across the body improves stability and reduces strain, even with heavy loads, while maintaining a simple and portable design.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] Pass a belt through the main body and attach it so that the luggage receiving plate comes to the abdomen. By keeping the main body perpendicular to the abdomen, even when carrying luggage, the principle of lever + the force of the luggage can be dispersed from the arm → abdomen → pelvis → legs, avoiding the concentrated load on a single point of the waist, back, and arm, and reducing the burden. Furthermore, the closer the center of gravity of the luggage approaches the body without separating from the body, the more the burden on the waist can be drastically reduced, which is defined as the scope of claims for utility model registration.
Background Art
[0002] Especially when holding luggage with the arm, the load on the upper limb is concentrated. In a configuration where it is supported by the waist or back, there is a risk of causing low back pain and fatigue. Also, even in a configuration where luggage is supported in the front, if the load is not properly dispersed, it may lead to a collapse of the posture and a deterioration of the body balance. In response to such problems, there is a demand for a simple and stable-structured luggage support that can efficiently disperse the weight of the luggage throughout the body and reduce the excessive load on specific parts.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0003] The conventional luggage support described above has a structure in which the weight of the luggage acts concentrated on specific parts such as the arm, waist, and back. Therefore, there is a problem that an excessive burden is imposed on the user's body during long-term use or when holding heavy objects. Also, in a configuration where luggage is supported in front of the torso, there is a risk that the load of the luggage cannot be stably held, leading to a collapse of the posture and a decrease in body balance. Furthermore, there is also a problem that the structure for dispersing the weight of the luggage throughout the body is complicated or becomes large-sized, impairing the wearability and portability. In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a luggage support having a simple structure that can reduce the burden on specific parts by efficiently dispersing the weight of the luggage from the arm to the abdomen, pelvis, and lower limbs.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0004] To solve the aforementioned problems, the luggage support device according to the present invention comprises a main body, a belt for attaching the main body to the user's torso, and a luggage support plate on which luggage is placed. The main body, when attached to the user's torso by the belt, is positioned in front of the abdomen and has a structure that maintains a substantially vertical posture relative to the abdomen. The aforementioned load-receiving plate is provided on the abdominal side of the main body and is configured to transmit the load when supporting a load from the arms to the abdomen based on the principle of leverage. Furthermore, the load transmitted to the abdomen is distributed and supported to the user's pelvis and lower limbs, thereby reducing the load concentrated on specific areas of the waist, back, and arms. [Effects of the Invention]
[0005] According to this invention, the main body is attached to the torso, and the load receiving plate positioned in front of the abdomen is held in a substantially perpendicular position to the abdomen. As a result, the load when a load is placed can be efficiently transmitted from the arms to the abdomen based on the principle of leverage. This distributes the weight of the load from the abdomen to the pelvis and lower limbs, reducing the load concentrated on specific areas such as the waist, back, and arms. Furthermore, because the entire body supports the load, postural stability is improved, reducing strain on the body even during prolonged use or when holding heavy objects. Furthermore, its simple structure allows for easy attachment, making it highly portable and convenient to use, and suitable for a wide range of applications including daily tasks and transportation. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0006] [Figure 1] This is a front view of the luggage support device of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0007] The main body has a structure that maintains a nearly vertical posture relative to the abdomen when worn, and is configured so that the posture does not change significantly even while the user is moving. The aforementioned cargo support plate is provided on the underside of the main body and has a flat surface on which cargo can be placed. When cargo is placed on this cargo support plate, the weight of the cargo is transmitted to the main body via the arms and acts in the underside direction based on the principle of leverage. Furthermore, the load transmitted to the abdomen is distributed and supported by the user's pelvis and lower limbs, thus reducing the load concentrated on specific areas of the waist, back, and arms. [Examples]
[0008] The luggage support device according to this embodiment comprises a main body, a belt for attaching the main body to the user's torso, and a luggage receiving plate provided on the abdominal side of the main body. The main body is made of metal and is shaped to maintain a nearly vertical position relative to the user's abdomen when worn. Belts are attached to both the left and right sides of the main body, and by wrapping these belts around the user's waist and securing them, the main body is stably positioned in front of the abdomen. [Industrial applicability]
[0009] The luggage support device according to this invention has a configuration that is attached to the user's torso to support luggage, and since it can reduce the burden on the body by distributing the weight of the luggage across the entire body, it is useful in various industrial fields. Specifically, it can be used for transporting goods at work sites in industries such as logistics, construction, manufacturing, and agriculture, as well as for warehouse work, material handling, and equipment inspection. Furthermore, its simple structure, ease of use, and portability make it suitable not only for business purposes but also for everyday use as a carrying aid or for transporting luggage, thus making it applicable in a wide range of fields.
Claims
