Abstract

A wearable support structure includes a torso support, two elongated resilient stays connected to the torso support, a lumbar support, two thigh supports, two pivoting arrangements, and a movement arrangement. The torso support is arranged for bearing upon a chest and/or a back of the human body. The lumbar support is arranged to extend substantially alongside the human body and is in a first state when being unloaded, and is biased back to the first state when being into a second state corresponding with a leaning or bending position of the human body. The two pivoting arrangements each connect a respective elongated resilient stay to a respective thigh support and allow the respective resilient stay and thigh support to pivot about a main axis. The movement arrangement maintains the two resilient stays in the first state when the human body is in the upright position.

Abstract

The invention relates to a wearable support structure for at least partly relieving a human body during leaning forward or bending over. The wearable support structure comprises a frame having at least one stay provided with a chest support for bearing upon a chest area, a lumbar support for bearing upon a lumbar area, and a thigh support for bearing upon a front side of a thigh area. The stay is a flexible stay arranged such that it is in a stretched state corresponding with an upright position of a human body when being unloaded. Further, the stay is arranged to be biased back to said stretched state when being bent into a bent state corresponding with a forward leaning position of a human body.
