Abstract: An assist device includes: a first harness to be fitted to at least one of a shoulder region and a breast region of a user; a second harness configured to be fitted to one of a leg region and a waist region, of the user; a belt body provided so as to extend to the first harness and to the second harness along a back side of the user; an actuator provided in one of the first harness and the second harness; and a controller performs operation control of the actuator. The actuator winds a part of the belt body and unwinds the part of the belt body. The controller performs the operation control of the actuator based on a posture change of the user.

Abstract: An assist device includes a first body-worn unit that is worn on at least shoulders or a chest of a user; a second body-worn unit that is worn on each of right and left legs or a waist of the user; a belt body provided to extend along a back side of the user, from the first body-worn unit to the second body-worn unit; an actuator provided in the first body-worn unit or the second body-worn unit and allows a part of the belt body to be reeled and unreeled; a battery configured to supply electricity to the actuator; and a controller configured to control the actuator. When a remaining charge level of the battery has decreased to a predetermined set value, the controller executes a vibrating motion process of causing the actuator to perform a vibrating motion of intermittently repeating reeling of a minute amount of the belt body.

Abstract: A power assist suit includes a harness worn at least around hips of a wearer, an assist unit, a power unit, and a bearing roller. The assist unit includes an arm and a thigh-worn part. A rail is provided at a part of the arm in a longitudinal direction. The rail includes channel-shaped parts extending along the longitudinal direction. The thigh-worn part is connected to sliding movable parts or integrated with at least a portion of the sliding movable parts. The bearing roller is disposed between each of the channel-shaped parts in the rail and each of inner wall surfaces of the sliding movable parts facing the respective channel-shaped parts.

Abstract: An assist device includes an actuator; a first body-worn unit including a belt body; right and left arms; and second body-worn units that are attached to distal parts of the arms and worn on thighs of the user. The belt body includes an upper belt and a lower belt provided on a back side of the user, the upper belt and the lower belt respectively extending along an upper side and a lower side of buttocks of the user. The assist device includes a restraining belt that connects the second body-worn units to the lower belt and restrains the lower belt from moving upward.

Abstract: An assist device includes a first body-worn unit that is worn on at least shoulders or a chest of a user; a second body-worn unit that is worn on each of right and left legs or a waist of the user; a belt body provided to extend along a back side of the user, from the first body-worn unit to the second body-worn unit; an actuator provided in the first body-worn unit or the second body-worn unit and allows a part of the belt body to be reeled and unreeled; a battery configured to supply electricity to the actuator; and a controller configured to control the actuator. When a remaining charge level of the battery has decreased to a predetermined set value, the controller executes a vibrating motion process of causing the actuator to perform a vibrating motion of intermittently repeating reeling of a minute amount of the belt body.

Abstract: An assist device includes a first harness, a second harness, and a grip portion. The first harness is configured to be fitted to at least one of a shoulder region and a breast region of a user. The second harness is configured to be fitted to a leg region or a waist region of the user. The grip portion is to be held by a person other than the user, the grip portion being attached to at least one of the first harness and the second harness.

Abstract: An assist device includes a first harness, a second harness, a belt body and an actuator. The first harness is configured to be fitted to at least one of a shoulder region and a breast region of a user. The second harness is configured to be fitted to left and right leg regions, respectively, or a waist region, of the user. The belt body provided so as to extend to the first harness and to the second harness along a back side of the user. The actuator is provided in the first harness or the second harness and configured to wind and unwind a part of the belt body.

Abstract: An assist device includes a first harness, a second harness, a belt body, an actuator and a controller. The controller is configured to perform operation control of the actuator. The controller is configured to, upon operation of the actuator being started in a state in which the first harness and the second harness is fitted to the user, perform winding of the belt body with a first winding force, and is configured to, upon the winding of the belt body being completed, change the winding force of the actuator to a second winding force that is smaller than the first winding force.

Abstract: An assist device includes: a first harness to be fitted to at least one of a shoulder region and a breast region of a user; a second harness configured to be fitted to one of a leg region and a waist region, of the user; a belt body provided so as to extend to the first harness and to the second harness along a back side of the user; an actuator provided in one of the first harness and the second harness; and a controller performs operation control of the actuator. The actuator winds a part of the belt body and unwinds the part of the belt body. The controller performs the operation control of the actuator based on a posture change of the user.
