Device wearable by a user and kit for physical activity

Abstract

A wearable device wearable by a user to facilitate lifting of loads by the user, preferably couplable to an anatomical part of the body of the user. The device comprises a main element, which has a resting surface and a lower portion, and at least two force-transmitting elements connected to said lower portion. The device comprises a coupling portion connected to said force-transmitting elements and adapted to be in contact with the anatomical part of the body of said user to transmit and distribute a weight force from said force-transmitting elements to an anatomical part of the body of the user.

1 ) A wearable device wearable by a user to facilitate lifting of loads by the user, couplable to an anatomical part of the body of the user, the wearable device comprising:
 a main element having a resting surface and a lower portion;   at least two force-transmitting elements connected to said lower portion of said main element; and   a coupling portion connected to said force-transmitting elements and adapted to be in contact with the anatomical part of the body of said user to transmit and distribute a weight force from said force-transmitting elements to an anatomical part of the body of the user.   
     
     
         2 ) The wearable device according to  claim 1 , wherein said resting surface of said main element has a seat for coupling to an object or for coupling to a surface of the object. 
     
     
         3 ) The wearable device according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least two joints connected to said lower portion of said main element and to said at least two force-transmitting elements, the main element and the at least two force-transmitting elements being rotatably connected to each other by means of the at least two joints. 
     
     
         4 ) The wearable device according to  claim 1 , further comprising groups of force-transmitting elements, each group comprising between two and six of the at least two force-transmitting elements. 
     
     
         5 ) The wearable device according to  claim 4 , wherein the force-transmitting elements of said each group are arranged spaced apart along a first direction, and
 wherein the groups of said force-transmitting elements are arranged spaced apart from each other along a second direction, said second direction being transverse to said first direction or the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction.   
     
     
         6 ) The wearable device according to  claim 5 , wherein said lower portion of said main element is substantially planar and extends in a plane of development, wherein the first direction and/or the second direction is parallel to said plane of development of said lower portion. 
     
     
         7 ) The wearable device according to  claim 1 , wherein said coupling portion extends along a longitudinal direction between one end connected to each of said force-transmitting elements and an opposite end, wherein the coupling portion is adapted to be at least partly in contact with the anatomical part of the body of the user in the proximity of the opposite end. 
     
     
         8 ) The wearable device according to  claim 7 , wherein
 said lower portion of said main element is substantially planar and extends in a plane of development, the longitudinal direction being transverse to the plane of development, and   said coupling portion comprises a neck arranged along said direction of development between said end and said opposite end.   
     
     
         9 ) The wearable device according to  claim 1 , wherein said wearable device is at least partly made of PLA, ABS, metal-reinforced PLA or metal material. 
     
     
         10 ) A kit for physical activity, the kit comprising:
 the wearable device according to  claim 1 , and   an object couplable to the main element of said wearable device.
