The present invention can be embodied in a variety of different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. 【0021】 To clearly illustrate the present invention, irrelevant parts have been omitted, and the same or similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the specification. Accordingly, the above reference numerals can also be used in other drawings. 【0022】 Furthermore, for the sake of clarity, the sizes and thicknesses of each component shown in the drawings are arbitrary, and the present invention is not necessarily limited to what is illustrated. In the drawings, thicknesses may be exaggerated to clearly represent multiple layers and regions. 【0023】 Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating a tactile stimulation device according to one embodiment of the present invention. 【0024】 Referring to Figure 1, the tactile stimulation providing device 24 according to one embodiment of the present invention is a vest-shaped tactile stimulation providing device, which may include a first front panel lp4, a second front panel rp4, and a rear panel bp4. 【0025】 The first front panel lp4 may include a first actuator arranged between one side lp4s1 and the other side lp4s2. The second front panel rp4 may include a second actuator arranged between one side rp4s1 and the other side rp4s2. The rear panel bp4 includes a third actuator and may be connected to the first front panel lp4 and the second front panel rp4. 【0026】 Each panel lp4, rp4, and bp4 may consist of multiple layers, at least one of which may be a base band. The base band may also be a component for fixing the actuator. One side of the base band may be located inside the panel and not visible. Referring to Figure 7, when the backing is removed, the other side of the base band can be exposed on the inside. 【0027】 In Figure 1, one side lp4s1 of the first front panel lp4 and one side rp4s1 of the second front panel rp4 are not connected to each other. According to this embodiment, a locking member (not shown in Figure 1) that connects one side lp4s1 of the first front panel lp4 and one side rp4s1 of the second front panel rp4 may be attached or detached. 【0028】 Figures 2 and 3 are diagrams illustrating an actuator case according to one embodiment of the present invention. 【0029】 Referring to Figures 2 and 3, an actuator case 2 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a bottom case bc2, a cover case cc2, and a top case tc2. 【0030】 The relative positions of the bottom case bc2, cover case cc2, and top case tc2 may be determined based on the baseband. The baseband may be located between the cover case cc2 and the top case tc2. 【0031】 The actuator ac2 is located on one side of the baseband and includes a drive unit mb2 and an eccentric mass body em2. The drive unit mb2 and the eccentric mass body em2 may be rotatably connected via a shaft. The actuator ac2 may also be an ERM motor (eccentric rotation mass motor). The actuator ac2 can generate vibrations by having the eccentric mass body em2, rotated by the drive unit mb2, act as an unbalanced oscillator. The actuator ac2 may also be a cylindrical vibration motor with a diameter of approximately 6 mm and a total height of approximately 17 mm. While a coin-type motor generates horizontal vibrations by having the oscillator rotate horizontally, the actuator ac2 in this embodiment can generate vertical vibrations. 【0032】 The bottom case bc2 is located on one side of the baseband and includes a first housing section tha2 for housing the drive unit mb2 and a second housing section thb2 for housing the eccentric mass body em2. That is, the bottom case bc2 can house all or part of the actuator ac2, excluding the wiring. Depending on the embodiment, if the bottom case bc2 houses only a part of the actuator ac2, the remaining part of the actuator ac2 may be housed in a cover case cc2, which will be described later. 【0033】 The cover case cc2 is located on one side of the base band and is coupled to the bottom case bc2 so as to bring the drive unit mb2 into close contact with the first housing section tha2. 【0034】 Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the cover case cc2 can be coupled to the bottom case bc2 while covering the actuator ac2. The male fastening portion cm2 of the cover case cc2 can be fitted with the female fastening portion bsf2 of the bottom case bc2, thereby firmly fixing the cover case cc2 to the bottom case bc2. In particular, the first housing portion tha2 and housing portion cha2 may be formed so as to firmly fix the drive portion mb2 of the actuator ac2. The male fastening portion cm2 of the cover case cc2 may protrude parallel to the surface on which the cover case cc2 abuts the base band. In this embodiment, there are four pairs of male fastening portions cm2 and female fastening portions bsf2, but the number may vary depending on the embodiment. 【0035】 The cover case cc2, when coupled with the bottom case bc2, isolates the eccentric mass em2 from one side of the base band, while together with the second housing section thb2, creating a margin of rotation space for the eccentric mass em2. In other words, the housing section chb2 of the cover case cc2, when matched with the second housing section thb2, creates a margin of rotation space that does not hinder the rotation of the eccentric mass em2. Furthermore, the housing section chb2 of the cover case cc2 also serves to isolate the eccentric mass em2 from one side of the base band. Therefore, even if the base band is made of a flexible material such as cloth or rubber, the eccentric mass em2 can rotate reliably without the risk of contact with the base band. 【0036】 The top case TC2 is located on the opposite side of the base band, and the bottom case BC2 is secured to the base band. 【0037】 The male fastening portion TM2 of the top case TC2 penetrates the base band and connects to the female fastening portion BF2 of the bottom case, thereby fixing the actuator AC2 and actuator case 2 to the base band. In this case, the base band may include an opening shaped to allow the male fastening portion TM2 to pass through. Depending on the embodiment, the area of ​​the top case TC2 that is in contact with the other side of the base band may correspond to the area of ​​the bottom case BC2 that is in contact with one side of the base band. In this case, there is relatively sufficient space for the male fastening portion TM2 to be positioned, so in this embodiment, four pairs of male fastening portions TM2 and female fastening portions BF2 are formed. Therefore, the actuator AC2 can withstand stronger vibrations. In this embodiment, if the area of ​​the top case TC2 corresponds to the area of ​​the bottom case BC2, sufficient vibration force can be transmitted even to the back of a user who is relatively less sensitive, thus providing the advantage that the user can feel the vibration more reliably. In addition, in this embodiment, the corners of one side of the top case TC2 are rounded, which can provide the user with a more comfortable feeling. 【0038】 The bottom case bc2 may include a protrusion bm2, and the top case tc2 may include a recess tf2. The protrusion bm2 of the bottom case bc2 compresses the base band and fits into the recess tf2, thereby further securing the actuator ac2 and actuator case 2 to the base band. In this embodiment, since the area of ​​the top case tc2 is relatively sufficient, six pairs of protrusions bm2 and recesses tf2 are formed accordingly, providing sufficient support. 【0039】 Figures 4 and 5 illustrate an actuator case according to another embodiment of the present invention. 【0040】 Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the actuator case 3 according to yet another embodiment of the present invention includes a bottom case bc3, a cover case cc3, and a top case tc3. 【0041】 The relative positions of the bottom case bc3, cover case cc3, and top case tc3 may be determined based on the baseband. The baseband may be positioned between the cover case cc3 and the top case tc3. 【0042】 The actuator ac3 is located on one side of the base band and includes a drive unit mb3 and an eccentric mass em3. The drive unit mb3 and the eccentric mass em3 may be rotatably connected via a shaft. The actuator ac3 may also be an ERM motor. The actuator ac3 can generate vibrations by having the eccentric mass em3, rotated by the drive unit mb3, act as an unbalanced oscillator. The actuator ac3 may also be a cylindrical vibration motor with a diameter of approximately 6 mm and a total height of approximately 17 mm. While a coin-type motor generates horizontal vibrations by having the oscillator rotate horizontally, the actuator ac3 in this embodiment can generate vertical vibrations. 【0043】 The bottom case bc3 is located on one side of the base band and includes a first housing section tha3 for housing the drive unit mb3 and a second housing section thb3 for housing the eccentric mass body em3. That is, the bottom case bc3 can house all or part of the actuator ac3, excluding the wiring. Depending on the embodiment, if the bottom case bc3 houses only a part of the actuator ac3, the remaining part of the actuator ac3 may be housed in the cover case cc3 described later. 【0044】 The cover case cc3 is located on one side of the base band and is coupled to the bottom case bc2 such that the drive unit mb3 is in close contact with the first housing unit tha3. 【0045】 Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the cover case cc3 may be coupled to the bottom case bc3 while covering the actuator ac3. The male fastening portion cm3 of the cover case cc3 can be fitted with the female fastening portion bsf3 of the bottom case bc3 to firmly fix the cover case cc3 to the bottom case bc3. In particular, the first housing portion tha3 and housing portion cha3 can be formed so that the drive portion mb3 of the actuator ac3 is firmly fixed. The male fastening portion cm3 of the cover case cc3 may protrude parallel to the surface on which the cover case cc3 abuts the base band. In this embodiment, there are four pairs of male fastening portions cm3 and female fastening portions bsf3, but the number may vary depending on the embodiment. 【0046】 Unlike the embodiments in Figures 2 and 3, this embodiment may further include a separator ar3 that covers at least a portion of the drive unit mb3 and is interposed between the drive unit mb3 and the first housing unit tha3. For example, the separator ar3 may be cylindrical and surround the outer surface of the drive unit mb3. In this case, the separator ar3 can separate the drive unit mb3, the first housing unit tha3, and the housing unit cha3 from each other. The separator ar3 may be made of an elastic material such as rubber, silicone, polyurethane, or sponge. Gaps may occur between the drive unit mb3, the first housing unit tha3, and the housing unit cha3 due to process deviations, but the separator ar3 prevents noise that may be generated by these process deviations. In addition, the separator ar3 can also prevent noise that may be generated inside the actuator ac3 due to the load that each actuator ac3 must vibrate not being constant. 【0047】 The cover case cc3, when coupled with the bottom case bc3, isolates the eccentric mass em3 from one side of the base band, and together with the second housing section thb3, forms a margin of rotation space for the eccentric mass em3. In other words, the housing section chb3 of the cover case cc3, when matched with the second housing section thb3, forms a margin of rotation space that does not hinder the rotation of the eccentric mass em3. Furthermore, the housing section chb3 of the cover case cc3 also serves to isolate the eccentric mass em3 from one side of the base band. Therefore, even if the base band is made of a flexible material such as cloth or rubber, the eccentric mass em3 can rotate reliably without the risk of contact with the base band. 【0048】 The top case TC3 is located on the opposite side of the base band, and the bottom case BC3 is secured to the base band. 【0049】 The male fastening portion TM3 of the top case TC3 penetrates the base band and connects to the female fastening portion BF3 of the bottom case BC3, thereby fixing the actuator AC3 and actuator case 3 to the base band. In this case, the base band may include an opening shaped to allow the male fastening portion TM3 to pass through. Depending on the embodiment, the area of ​​the lower surface of the top case TC3 that is in contact with the other side of the base band can correspond to the area of ​​the bottom case BC3 that is in contact with one side of the base band. In this case, there is relatively sufficient space for the male fastening portion TM3 to be positioned, so in this embodiment, four pairs of male fastening portions TM3 and female fastening portions BF3 are formed. Therefore, the actuator AC3 can withstand stronger vibrations. Also, compared to the upper surface TTS2 of the top case TC2 in Figure 3, the upper surface TTS3 of the top case TC3 in Figure 16 has a smaller area, which allows vibration forces to be transmitted locally to the user's body. For example, the top case TC3 may be frustoconical in shape. 【0050】 The bottom case bc3 may include a protrusion bm3, and the top case tc3 may include a recess tf3. The protrusion bm3 of the bottom case bc3 compresses the base band and fits into the recess tf3, thereby further securing the actuator ac3 and actuator case 3 to the base band. In this embodiment, since the area of ​​the lower surface of the top case tc3 is relatively sufficient, six pairs of protrusions bm3 and recesses tf3 are formed accordingly, providing sufficient support. 【0051】 Figure 6 illustrates the case where the front panel of the tactile stimulation device is open. 【0052】 Referring to Figure 6, the tactile stimulation device 24 may include a first lining lip 4, a second lining rip 4, and a third lining bip 4. 【0053】 The first to third linings, lip4, rip4, and bip4, may be made of waterproof material, or they may be made of a material that is moisture-absorbing and breathable, such as a mesh. 【0054】 The first lining lip 4 can be positioned on the back of the first front panel lp 4. The first lining lip 4 may be attached to and detached from the back of the first front panel lp 4 by a detachable member. 【0055】 The second lining rip4 can be located on the back of the second front panel rp4. The second lining rip4 may be attached to and detached from the back of the second front panel rp4 by a detachable member. 【0056】 The third lining bip4 can be positioned on the front of the rear panel bp4. The third lining bip4 may also be attached to and detached from the front of the rear panel bp4 by a detachable member. 【0057】 The first to third linings, lip4, rip4, and bip4, can be replaced or washed, allowing multiple users to use the tactile stimulation device 24 without discomfort. 【0058】 Figure 7 illustrates the case where the lining is removed from the state shown in Figure 6. 【0059】 Referring to Figure 7, multiple top cases TCL4 may be arranged on the other side of the first baseband LBB4 of the first front panel LP4. Also, multiple top cases TCR4 may be arranged on the other side of the second baseband RBB4 of the second front panel RP4. Furthermore, multiple top cases TCB4 may be arranged on the other side of the third baseband BBB4 of the rear panel BP4. 【0060】 Figure 8 illustrates one aspect of the baseband separated from the state shown in Figure 7. 【0061】 Referring to Figure 8, for the sake of explanation, the basebands lbb4, rbb4, and bbb4 are separated from the tactile stimulation provider 24, and one side of the basebands lbb4, rbb4, and bbb4 is shown. 【0062】 The first actuator can be covered by arranging the first bottom case bcl4 on one surface of the first baseband lbb4. The second actuator can be covered by arranging the second bottom case bcr4 on one surface of the second baseband rbb4. The third actuator can be covered by arranging the third bottom case bbc4 on one surface of the third baseband bbb4. 【0063】 Multiple cover cases (not shown) may be located between multiple top cases tcl4, tcr4, tcb4 and multiple bottom cases bcl4, bcr4, bcb4. Multiple actuators (not shown) may be located between multiple cover cases and multiple bottom cases bcl4, bcr4, bcb4. 【0064】 Each actuator may require at least two to three channels (i.e., wiring) to receive ground voltage, drive voltage, control signals, etc. However, when multiple actuators used in a haptic stimulation device are each connected to a controller, the number of wires becomes too large, making them prone to damage. While rigid wiring covers can be inserted to prevent damage, this may cause discomfort to the user. 【0065】 Therefore, in this embodiment, multiple actuators can be grouped together, with one group of actuators electrically connected to one sub-FPCB board sfpcb4 via wiring sw4, and each sub-FPCB board sfcb4 electrically connected to the corresponding sub-PCB board spcb4. The sub-PCB boards spcb4 can be connected to the controller via wiring. The sub-PCB boards spcb4 can communicate with the controller via wired communication methods such as RS232, USB, I2C, and SPI. In addition, the sub-PCB boards spcb4 can communicate with the controller wirelessly via methods such as Bluetooth®, WIFI, and Zigbee®. Thus, according to this embodiment, even if a large number of actuators are used, the wiring structure can be simplified. 【0066】 Figure 9 is a diagram illustrating the recess in the front panel. 【0067】 Referring to Figure 9, the first front panel lp4 may include a first recess acm4 that is elongated along one side lp4s1. The length of the first recess acm4 may be substantially the same as the length of one side lp4s1 of the first front panel lp4. 【0068】 The first detachable member uv14 can be located on the inner upper surface of the first recess acm4. The second detachable member uv24 can be located on the inner lower surface of the first recess acm4. The length of the first detachable member uv14 may be substantially the same as the length of the second detachable member uv24. Furthermore, the lengths of the first and second detachable members uv14 and uv24, respectively, may be substantially the same as the length of one side lp4s1 of the first front panel lp4. 【0069】 For example, the first detachable member uv14 and the second detachable member uv24 may be type A detachable members. In this embodiment, the detachable members may be either type A or type B. Type A and type B are detachable from each other. However, type A and type A do not need to be detachable from each other. Similarly, type B and type B do not need to be detachable from each other. Any form of such detachable members can be used as detachable members in this embodiment. The detachable members may be, for example, Velcro (registered trademark), magnets, electromagnets, snap buttons, etc. The figures of the following embodiment show the case where the detachable member is Velcro. 【0070】 In this embodiment, since the first detachable member uv14 and the second detachable member uv24 are not detached from each other, one side of the locking member, which will be described later, can be easily inserted into the first recess acm4. 【0071】 Although not shown in the illustration, the above description can also be applied to the second recess of the second front panel rp4. For example, the second front panel rp4 may include a second recess that is elongated along one side rp4s1. The third detachable member may be located on the inner upper surface of the second recess. The fourth detachable member may be located on the inner lower surface of the second recess. The third and fourth detachable members do not have to be detachable from each other. 【0072】 Figures 10 and 11 illustrate an interchangeable locking member according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 10 is a front view of the locking member zp4, and Figure 11 is a rear view of the locking member zp4. 【0073】 For example, the locking component zp4 may be a replaceable zipper. Because zippers require less surface area, the front panels lp4 and rp4 can accommodate more actuators, resulting in the advantage of delivering more realistic and richer tactile stimulation. Furthermore, they offer a cleaner appearance and are widely used as locking devices in clothing. 【0074】 Traditional zippers have the drawbacks of being unreliable and difficult to replace. They are prone to breaking if the user zippers incorrectly or pulls too hard in the wrong direction. In particular, they can easily break if pulled too hard while bending over, such as when the stomach is exposed or the waist is bent. Traditionally, replacing a broken zipper required the difficult task of removing the sewn-on zipper and sewing it back on. This also leaves needle marks on the exterior, weakens the durability of the connection between the zipper and other sewn parts, and can make the zipper more likely to separate. Using buttons instead of zippers can make putting on clothes time-consuming and taking off clothes difficult. Using buckles instead of zippers has drawbacks in terms of appearance and tactile feel because the buckles occupy too much surface area. 【0075】 The locking member zp4 may include a slider sld4, which is a basic zipper configuration, teeth tth14 on one side, tape tp14 on one side that secures teeth tth14, teeth tth24 on the other side, and tape tp24 on the other side that secures teeth tth24. 【0076】 In this embodiment, the locking member zp4 may be configured such that one side can be inserted into the first recess acm4 and the other side can be inserted into the second recess. In one embodiment, the locking member zp4 may further include detachable members zv14, zv24, zv34, and zv44. 【0077】 The fifth detachable member zv14 is located on the upper surface of one side of the locking member zp4 and may be detachable from the first detachable member uv14. The fifth detachable member zv14 may be a type B detachable member. The fifth detachable member zv14 may be sewn to the upper surface of the tape tp14. The length of the fifth detachable member zv14 may be substantially the same as the length of the tape tp14. 【0078】 The sixth detachable member zv34 is located on the lower surface of one side of the locking member zp4 and may be detachable from the second detachable member uv24. The sixth detachable member zv34 may be a type B detachable member. The sixth detachable member zv34 may be sewn to the lower surface of the tape tp14. The length of the sixth detachable member zv34 may be substantially the same as the length of the tape tp14. 【0079】 The seventh detachable member zv24 is located on the upper surface of the other side of the locking member zp4 and may be detachable from the third detachable member. The seventh detachable member zv24 may be a type B detachable member. The seventh detachable member zv24 may be sewn to the upper surface of the tape tp24. The length of the seventh detachable member zv24 may be substantially the same as the length of the tape tp24. 【0080】 The eighth detachable member zv44 is located on the other lower surface of the locking member zp4 and may be detachable from the fourth detachable member. The eighth detachable member zv44 may be a type B detachable member. The eighth detachable member zv44 may be sewn to the lower surface of the tape tp24. The length of the eighth detachable member zv44 may be substantially the same as the length of the tape tp24. 【0081】 Figures 12 and 13 illustrate the state in which the locking member is attached to the recess of the front panel. 【0082】 Referring to Figure 12, an example is shown of the second detachable member uv24 and the sixth detachable member zv34 being attached. By further attaching the first detachable member uv14 and the fifth detachable member zv14, the locking member zp4 and the first recess acm4 can be completely joined. 【0083】 Referring to Figure 13, an example is shown in which the attachment / detachment members zv14, zv24, zv34, and zv44 of the locking member zp4 are attached to the first recess acm4 and the first to fourth attachment / detachment members of the second recess. As a result, one side lp4s1 of the first front panel lp4 and one side rp4s1 of the second front panel rp4 can be connected to each other via the locking member zp4. 【0084】 According to this embodiment, the fragile locking member zp4 can be easily replaced, and the user can easily select the desired color / type of locking member zp4. 【0085】 The first shoulder strap LSS4, the first protruding strap LSL4, the second shoulder strap RSS4, and the second protruding strap RSL4 will be described below with reference to Figures 14 and 15. The first shoulder strap LSS4 can connect the first front panel LP4 and the back panel BP4. One end of the first protruding strap LSL4 may be sewn to a part of the first shoulder strap LSS4. The second shoulder strap RSS4 can connect the second front panel RP4 and the back panel BP4. One end of the second protruding strap RSL4 may be sewn to a part of the second shoulder strap RSS4. 【0086】 Furthermore, the waist assemblies lws1, lws2, rws1, and rws2 will be described below with reference to Figures 16 and 17. The first waist assembly lws1 can connect one side of the rear panel bp4 to the other side lp4s2 of the first front panel lp4. The second waist assembly rws1 can connect the other side of the rear panel bp4 to the other side rp4s2 of the second front panel rp4. According to the embodiment, the third waist assembly lws2 can connect one side of the rear panel bp4 to the other side lp4s2 of the first front panel lp4. According to the embodiment, the fourth waist assembly rws2 can connect the other side of the rear panel bp4 to the other side rp4s2 of the second front panel rp4. 【0087】 Figures 14 and 15 illustrate a shoulder strap, cover layer, and shoulder adjuster according to one embodiment of the present invention. 【0088】 The second cover layer wcm4 can cover a portion of the second shoulder strap rss4. In this case, the second cover layer wcm4 may be made of a softer material than the second shoulder strap rss4. For example, the second cover layer wcm4 may be made of a thin fabric such as mesh. 【0089】 The second wiring wr4 extends between the second shoulder strap rss4 and the second cover layer wcm4 and may be electrically connected to at least one of the second or third actuators. For example, if the controllers for the first to third actuators are located on the rear panel bp4, the second wiring wr4 can electrically connect the second actuator and controller on the second front panel rp4. On the other hand, if the controllers for the first to third actuators are located on the second front panel rp4, the second wiring wr4 can electrically connect the third actuator and controller on the rear panel bp4. 【0090】 The fifth shoulder adjuster sm11 may be located on the second shoulder strap rss4. The sixth shoulder adjuster sf11 may be located on the second protruding strap rsl4 on the second shoulder strap rss4. The fifth shoulder adjuster sm11 and the sixth shoulder adjuster sf11 may be detachable from each other. For example, the sixth shoulder adjuster sf11 and the fifth shoulder adjuster sm11 may correspond to the male and female parts of a snap button, respectively. The fifth and sixth shoulder adjusters sm11 and sf11 may be separated by the second cover layer wcm4. According to the embodiment, the seventh shoulder adjuster sm12 and the eighth shoulder adjuster sf12 may be configured similarly to the fifth shoulder adjuster sm11 and the sixth shoulder adjuster sf11, respectively. 【0091】 Referring to Figure 15, the fifth shoulder adjuster sm11 and the sixth shoulder adjuster sf11 are shown in a state where they are fastened together. 【0092】 If the user is small in stature, the user can further secure the tactile stimulation device 24 to their body by fastening the fifth shoulder adjuster sm11 and the sixth shoulder adjuster sf11. In this case, if the second shoulder strap rss4 and the second wiring wr4 are fixed to each other, the second wiring wr4 will bend along with the bending of the second shoulder strap rss4, which carries the risk of damaging the second wiring wr4. However, in this embodiment, the second wiring wr4 can move freely in the clearance space between the second shoulder strap rss4 and the second cover layer wcm4 so that the force is distributed, thus reducing the risk of damage to the second wiring wr4. 【0093】 Furthermore, the second protruding strap RSL4 conceals the fastening state of the fifth shoulder adjuster SM11 and the sixth shoulder adjuster SF11, thereby improving the aesthetics of the tactile stimulation device 24. 【0094】 Figures 14 and 15 are shown with the second shoulder strap rss4 as the reference, but the same structure can be applied with the first shoulder strap lss4 as the reference, so redundant explanations of the first shoulder strap lss4, first protruding strap lsl4, first cover layer, first wiring, and first to fourth shoulder adjusters are omitted. 【0095】 Figures 16 and 17 are diagrams illustrating a waist assembly according to one embodiment of the present invention. 【0096】 The first waist assembly lws1 may include a first waist adjuster ladj1, a first front strap lwt11, and a first back strap lwt12. For example, the first waist adjuster ladj1 may be a webbing adjuster. 【0097】 The first front strap lwt11 may have one end connected to the other side lp4s2 of the first front panel lp4 and the other end fixed to the first waist adjuster ladj1. The first rear strap lwt12 may have one end connected to the one side bp4s1 of the rear panel bp4 and the other end fixed to the first waist adjuster ladj1. 【0098】 In this case, the first back strap lwt12 may be more elastic than the first front strap lwt11. For example, the first front strap lwt11 may be made of a webbing strap, and the first back strap lwt22 may be made of an elastic band. Referring to Figure 17, when the user pulls the first front strap lwt11 to bring the tactile stimulation device 24 into close contact with the user's body, the first back strap lwt22 stretches, allowing the first waist adjuster ladj1 to be positioned closer to the first front panel lp4 than to the back panel bp4. Therefore, the user has the advantage of being able to adjust the first waist adjuster ladj1 more conveniently. 【0099】 This explanation also applies to the third waist assembly LWS2, the third front strap LWT21, the third waist adjuster LADJ2, and the third back strap LWT22; therefore, redundant explanations are omitted. 【0100】 Furthermore, this explanation also applies to the second waist assembly RWS1, the second front strap, the second waist adjuster, and the second back strap, so redundant explanations are omitted. In addition, this explanation also applies to the fourth waist assembly RWS2, the fourth front strap, the fourth waist adjuster, and the fourth back strap, so redundant explanations are omitted. 【0101】 The drawings referenced above and the detailed description of the invention are merely illustrative and used solely to illustrate the present invention, and not to limit its meaning or the scope of the claims. Therefore, a person with ordinary skill in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible. Accordingly, the true scope of technical protection of the present invention should be determined by the technical idea of ​​the appended claims.
