SYSTEM FOR ASSISTING AN OPERATOR IN EXERTING EFFORTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017397 titled 'SYSTEM FOR ASSISTING AN OPERATOR IN EXERTING EFFORTS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system that assists an operator in exerting efforts by using a garment worn by the operator. The garment engages the mobile parts of the operator's joint and defines an axis of rotation corresponding to the joint. A device carried by the garment compensates for resistive moments acting on the joint during the operator's effort. The compensation device has a neutral position and can determine a pre-set plot of the assisting torque based on the joint's rotation angle. It may also include a tension regulation device to regulate the moment obtained about the operator's joint.

  • The system consists of a garment that can be worn by an operator and engages the mobile parts of their joint.
  • The garment defines an axis of rotation corresponding to the joint.
  • A device carried by the garment compensates for resistive moments acting on the joint during the operator's effort.
  • The compensation device has a neutral position and can determine a pre-set plot of the assisting torque based on the joint's rotation angle.
  • A tension regulation device may be included to regulate the moment obtained about the operator's joint.

Potential Applications:

  • Assisting operators in physically demanding tasks, such as lifting heavy objects or performing repetitive motions.
  • Supporting individuals with physical disabilities or limitations in performing daily activities.
  • Enhancing performance and reducing fatigue in sports or physical training activities.

Problems Solved:

  • Reducing the strain and effort required by operators during physically demanding tasks.
  • Providing support and assistance to individuals with physical limitations, allowing them to perform tasks they would otherwise struggle with.
  • Minimizing the risk of injuries or musculoskeletal disorders caused by repetitive or strenuous movements.

Benefits:

  • Increased efficiency and productivity in tasks that require physical effort.
  • Improved safety and reduced risk of injuries for operators.
  • Enhanced quality of life for individuals with physical limitations or disabilities.
  • Potential for improved performance and reduced fatigue in sports and physical training activities.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system for assisting an operator in exerting efforts comprises a garment that can be worn by the operator, which is to engage, when worn, the mutually mobile parts of a joint of the operator. the system defines at least one axis of rotation that is to assume a position corresponding to the joint of the operator. a device is carried by the garment and designed to operate so as to compensate the resistive moments that act on the joint during the effort exerted by the operator. a compensation device is provided equipped with a rotational assembly, which has a neutral position and is able to determine a pre-set plot of the assisting torque that is a function of the angle of rotation of the joint. the compensation device may include a tension regulation device to regulate a moment obtained about the joint of the operator.
