  • Patent number: 11369541
    Abstract: A device for muscle strength support includes a flexible support structure configured to be worn on a body of a user during use of the device and an actuator unit configured to exert a tensile force on a first tension member of the flexible support structure to support the muscle strength during a movement of a first body part. The first tension member extends along a first path through a guide strap of the flexible support structure to the actuator unit, the guide strap limiting a section of the first path in a direction perpendicular to a path longitudinal direction. The first tension member is further configured to be attached to the first body part during use of the device by a first fastening member.

  • Patent number: 10661434
    Abstract: A support device, in particular an assembly support device for stabilizing a body part of a person includes a plurality of hinged-together elements designed to at least partially envelop a body part of a person, so that the plurality of hinged-together elements collectively form a flexible shell for the body part of the person. The flexible shell is designed to transfer a portion of a load acting on the body part of the person in order to stabilize the body part of the person. A vehicle, to which is secured an assembly support device, as well as a method for stabilizing a body part of a person during the assembly of a vehicle are also described.
