Non-motorized physical-assistance device of exoskeleton type for manually transporting loads
Résumé
A non-robotic/non-motorized physical-assistance device of exoskeleton type, designed to be worn by a user to lighten the weight on the upper limbs of the user manually lifting and transporting a load. The device includes at least a hip belt configured to pass around the waist/hips of the user and a load lifter and transporter. When the device is worn by the user and in use, the load lifter and transporter includes a transfer member to transfer vertical loads brought about by the lifting/transporting of the load exclusively to the hip belt, relieving the load on the back, the upper limbs, the shoulders and the neck of the user.
