Wearable Support Apparatus

Abstract

A wearable apparatus is provided for supporting a user on surfaces of a toilet seat. The wearable apparatus comprises a wearable unit and a support element. The wearable unit is configured to conform to a hand of the user. The wearable unit comprises a chamber for accommodating the user's hand. A sleeve is disposed on or within the wearable unit for inserting a support element. The sleeve extends inwardly within the chamber. In an embodiment, the sleeve is detachably disposed on an outer surface of the wearable unit. The support element may be inserted in the sleeve or molded on the outer surface of the wearable unit. The support element in the sleeve of the wearable apparatus reduces pressure from the toilet seat on the user's rear body part and protects the user seated on the toilet seat from discomfort and pain from toilet seat impressions.

1 . A wearable apparatus for supporting a user on surfaces of a toilet seat, comprising:
 a wearable unit comprising a chamber configured to conform to a hand of said user;   a sleeve disposed on or within said wearable unit for inserting a support element; and   said support element for supporting said user on said surfaces of said toilet seat;   
       whereby said support element in said sleeve of said wearable apparatus reduces pressure from said toilet seat on a rear body part of said user and protects said user seated on said toilet seat from discomfort and pain from toilet seat impressions when said wearable apparatus is inserted between said rear body part of said user and said toilet seat. 
     
     
         2 . The wearable apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said sleeve extends inwardly within said chamber of said wearable unit, wherein said support element is inserted into said sleeve. 
     
     
         3 . The wearable apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said support element is molded on an outer surface of said wearable unit. 
     
     
         4 . The wearable apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said sleeve is detachably disposed on an outer surface of said wearable unit. 
     
     
         5 . The wearable apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said chamber comprises finger sections with openings at extremities of said finger sections for inserting a thumb and other fingers of said hand of said user. 
     
     
         6 . The wearable apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a padded material provided on inner surfaces of said chamber for cushioning said hand of said user. 
     
     
         7 . The wearable apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said wearable unit with said support element inserted into said sleeve cushions said rear body part of said user seated on said toilet seat. 
     
     
         8 . The wearable apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a portion of said support element is extended and exposed outside said wearable unit, wherein said extended portion of said support element supports and protects wrist and forearm of said user when said user inserts said wearable apparatus between said rear body part and said toilet seat. 
     
     
         9 . The wearable apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said support element is a plastic card. 
     
     
         10 . The wearable apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said wearable unit and said support element are portable and disposable. 
     
     
         11 . The wearable apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said wearable unit is made of a fluid impervious material. 
     
     
         12 . A method of supporting a user on surfaces of a toilet seat, comprising the steps of:
 providing a wearable apparatus comprising:
 a wearable unit comprising a chamber configured to conform to a hand of said user; 
 a sleeve disposed on or within said wearable unit for inserting a support element; and 
 said support element for supporting said user on said surfaces of said toilet seat; 
   inserting said hand of said user in said chamber of said wearable unit;   inserting said support element in said sleeve disposed on or within said wearable unit; and   adjusting said wearable apparatus inserted with said support element between a rear body part of said user and said toilet seat for supporting said user on said surfaces of said toilet seat;   
       whereby said support element in said sleeve of said wearable apparatus reduces pressure from said toilet seat on said rear body part of said user and protects said user seated on said toilet seat from injury, discomfort, and pain from toilet seat impressions. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein said sleeve extends inwardly within said chamber of said wearable unit, wherein said support element is inserted into said sleeve. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein said support element is molded on an outer surface of said wearable unit. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein said sleeve is detachably disposed on an outer surface of said wearable unit. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising the step of extending and exposing a portion of said inserted support element outside said wearable unit, wherein said extended portion of said inserted support element supports and protects wrist and forearm of said user when said user inserts said wearable apparatus between said rear body part and said toilet seat. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein said support element is a plastic card.
