Abstract: Wearable support structure for at least partly relieving a human body during leaning or bending over, said structure comprising a frame having a chest support, pivoting arrangements for pivoting the support structure in correspondence with the leaning or bending or the human body, an elongated stay connected to said chest support, a lumbar support, connected to said pivoting arrangements, and arranged for bearing upon a lumbar area of said human body, and a thigh support, connected to said pivoting arrangements, and arranged for bearing upon a front side of a thigh area of said human body. The wearable support structure comprises a connecting device for detachably connecting at least one of: said thigh support to said pivoting arrangements; said elongated stay to said chest support; and said elongated stay to said pivoting arrangements.

Abstract: Wearable support structure assists in at least partly relieving a human body during leaning or bending over includes a frame. The frame has a chest support for bearing upon a chest of the human body, pivoting arrangements for pivoting the support structure in correspondence with the leaning or bending or the human body, and two elongated stays connected to the chest support. The stays extend substantially alongside opposite sides of the human body and connect to the pivoting arrangements. stays are resilient stays arranged such that they are in a stretched state corresponding with an upright position of the human body when being unloaded, and arranged to be biased back to the stretched state when being bent into a bent state corresponding with a leaning or bending position of the human body. The structure further includes a lumbar support and a thigh support.

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.
