Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus that prevents/transfers the exposure of musculoskeletal disorders, especially in the shoulder regions, of employees who work repetitively in lines of business such as production, assembly, distribution, and storage.
  • the present invention relates to an arm supporting apparatus that meets the above- mentioned requirements, eliminates all disadvantages and brings some additional advantages.
  • the invention is inspired by current situations and aims to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages.
  • the main purpose of the invention is to develop a new support apparatus in order to protect the arm and shoulder health of the operators / workers and to prevent possible discomfort. Thanks to the spring in the apparatus structure of the invention and whose stiffness can be adjusted, the user is supported to keep his arm up.
  • Another aim of the invention is to obtain an arm support apparatus that can be deactivated when not in use, thus not creating an extra load on the user.
  • Figure 1 the general view of the upper part of the apparatus which is the subject of the invention is given.
  • Figure 2 the general view of the upper part of the apparatus, which is the subject of the invention, is given from a different angle.
  • Figure 10 gives the general view of the piston.
  • Figure 11 shows the general view of the cam.
  • the invention relates to an apparatus (S) that provides arm support, which has the feature of preventing/transferring the exposure of musculoskeletal diseases, especially in the shoulder regions, of employees who work repetitively in lines of business such as production, assembly, distribution and warehousing.
  • Said apparatus (S) includes a waist connection (2) suitable for the purpose of attaching to the waist of the user (16) and a double arm connection (3) suitable for the purpose of attaching to the arm of the user (16).
  • At least one double mechanism box (1) is also in the structure of the apparatus (S) which is the subject of the invention, in order to keep the arm air.
  • the mechanism boxes (1) are preferably two, one on the right and one on the left. Said mechanism box (1) is connected to the arm connection (3) with the arm spacer (8).
  • the arm spacer (8) is in the form of a spacer between the mechanism box (1) and the arm connection (3). There is an arm spacer (8) for each arm connection (3). There is a waist connection spacer (5) between the mechanism box (1) and the waist connection (2). The waist connection spacer (5) provides direct transmission of the movement.
  • the mechanism box (1) is rigidly connected to the waist connection spacer (5) and at least one ball joint (4).
  • the ball joint (4) allows free connection, allowing the movement of the arm and shoulder.
  • At least one mechanism connection piece (7) is used to connect the mechanism boxes (1) to each other. In this way, the connection of the mechanism boxes (1) on the right and left with each other is ensured.
  • the apparatus (S) which is the subject of the invention includes at least one cam (9) to transfer the angular movement of the arm to the lower part of the apparatus (S).
  • the movement coming from the arm of the user(16) causes at least one bearing (11) at the bottom of the apparatus (S) to make a rotational movement.
  • the bearing (11) makes a rotational movement by following the slot in the cam (9).
  • Said large spring (14) is located inside the cylinder (13).
  • At least one hardness screw (15) is also included in the apparatus (S) in order to adjust the stiffness of the large spring (14).
  • the hardness screw (15) is movable on the thread drilled into the cylinder (13).
  • the position of the stiffness screw (15) is important for adjusting the amount of pretension of the large spring (14). This position is adjusted by moving the threaded part inside the cylinder (13), so that the arm spacer (8) can be adjusted according to different stress levels in the clockwise movement.
  • the cam (9) does not encounter any forcing force when it comes into contact with the bearing (9) in its least tight state, and thus the apparatus (S) is put in a passive state. This is important in terms of putting the apparatus (S) inactive when not in use.
  • the invention It is an apparatus (S) that provides arm support in order to prevent/postpone the exposure of employees who work repetitively in business lines such as production, assembly, distribution, storage, especially in the shoulder regions, to muscle and / or skeletal diseases;
  • It contains at least one large spring (14) that compresses and expands with the movement of the piston (12) in the cylinder (13), thereby supporting the user's (16) arm to stay in the air.
