Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An exoskeleton for supporting an arm of a user includes a torso attachment device for releasably connecting the exoskeleton to a torso of the user, a bracket which is connectable to the torso attachment device, a lifting rod which is connectable to the torso attachment device via the bracket and which is reversibly movable in a first direction and a second direction relative to the bracket, a cantilever for supporting the arm of the user which is releasably connectable to the arm of the user, and a spring element. A force is exertable on the cantilever and the lifting rod by the spring element.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 .- 6 . (canceled) 7 . An exoskeleton for supporting an arm of a user, comprising: a torso attachment device for releasably connecting the exoskeleton to a torso of the user; a bracket which is connectable to the torso attachment device; a lifting rod which is connectable to the torso attachment device via the bracket and which is reversibly movable in a first direction and a second direction relative to the bracket; a cantilever for supporting the arm of the user which is releasably connectable to the arm of the user; and a spring element, wherein a force is exertable on the cantilever and the lifting rod by the spring element. 8 . The exoskeleton according to claim 7 further comprising a coupling rod having a first end and a second end, wherein the coupling rod is rotatably connected to the cantilever by the first end and to the lifting rod via a compensating mechanism by the second end. 9 . The exoskeleton according to claim 8 , wherein the compensating mechanism comprises a slot at the second end of the coupling rod and a pivot bearing on the lifting rod and wherein the pivot bearing is disposed in the slot. 10 . The exoskeleton according to claim 8 , wherein the compensating mechanism comprises a slotted guide disposed between the second end of the coupling rod and the lifting rod. 11 . The exoskeleton according to claim 8 , wherein the compensating mechanism comprises a sector gear and a rack and wherein the sector gear is rotatably connected to the lifting rod such that teeth of the sector gear mesh with teeth of the rack. 12 . The exoskeleton according to claim 11 , wherein the lifting rod and the rack are configured as a piston-cylinder unit.
