APPARATUS FOR ASSISTING MUSCULAR STRENGTH - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17892060 titled 'APPARATUS FOR ASSISTING MUSCULAR STRENGTH
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus designed to assist muscular strength in a user's body. The apparatus consists of an upper frame that is fixed to the user's upper body, a lower frame that is fixed to the user's lower body and can rotate relative to the upper frame, a wire that is stretched across the upper and lower frames, and a force generating unit attached to one side of the upper frame.
- The lower frame is capable of rotating in a first direction relative to the upper frame.
- When the lower frame rotates in the first direction, the force generating unit generates a force in the opposite direction.
- The force generating unit includes a first movable member, a second movable member, and a main spring part.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy: The apparatus can be used to assist patients in regaining muscular strength and mobility after an injury or surgery.
- Fitness training: The apparatus can be used as a resistance training tool to enhance muscular strength and endurance.
- Sports performance enhancement: Athletes can utilize the apparatus to improve specific muscle groups and enhance their overall performance.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Lack of strength: The apparatus provides assistance to individuals who may have limited muscular strength, allowing them to perform exercises and movements that would otherwise be challenging.
- Rehabilitation limitations: The apparatus offers a controlled and adjustable resistance that can be tailored to the user's specific needs during the rehabilitation process.
- Targeted muscle training: The apparatus allows for targeted muscle training by providing resistance in specific directions and angles.
Benefits of this technology:
- Versatility: The apparatus can be adjusted to accommodate different body sizes and fitness levels.
- Safety: The force generating unit ensures a controlled and safe resistance, minimizing the risk of injury.
- Convenience: The apparatus can be easily fixed to the user's body and used in various settings, such as at home or in a gym.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed is an apparatus for assisting muscular strength, the apparatus including: an upper frame configured to be fixed to a user's upper body; a lower frame disposed below the upper frame and configured to be fixed to the user's lower body and rotatable relative to the upper frame; a wire disposed across the upper frame and the lower frame; and a force generating unit coupled to one side of the upper frame, in which when the lower frame rotates in a first direction D relative to the upper frame, the force generating unit generates a force applied in a second direction D opposite to the first direction D, in which the force generating unit includes: a first movable member; a second movable member; and a main spring part.
