DEVICE FOR MECHANICAL ATTACHMENT OF LEG TO EXTERNAL OBJECT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A63B27/00 A63B29/04 A43C15/00 

FIELD: personal use articles.

SUBSTANCE: first of all it relates to the conditions of weightlessness in space, both inside the habitable compartments and in space, reduced gravity in the individual scuba diving of a person. The essence of the invention consists in that the device for mechanical attachment of a leg to an external object, worn on the leg, made with the ability to detach the leg from the previously attached external object, comprises at least one mobile element providing mechanical attachment of the leg to an external object with its movement driven by the motor and/or spring element. The implementation example - the device is designed as pliers comprising two jaws 8 fastened to each other with a hinge 9, one of the jaws is attached to the shoe 2. The jaws are interconnected by the reciprocating DC electrical motor 10 with the possibility, under the action of the motor, of bringing together and separating the jaws. In the shoe a sensor 11 is attached, by pressing on which with the finger(s) of the person's foot the current is supplied to the motor with the polarity providing compression of the jaws with accompanying clip (crimp) of the external object, such as staple or ladder rung, between the jaws. In the absence of pressing on the sensor, voltage is applied to the motor with the polarity providing separating the jaws of the device.

EFFECT: enhanced usability.
