PROTECTIVE CASE OF EXOSKELETON FOOT REST Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61H3/00 A61F2/62 B08B17/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention is applied in conjunction with a motorized exoskeleton designed to be attached to the legs of an exoskeleton user and intended to assist people with limited athletic abilities who are unable to move independently, with limited mobility or complete immobility of the lower limbs. The protective case of the exoskeleton foot rest includes the upper stocking, the lower stocking and the femoral part of the case, the upper edge of which is connected to the lower edge of the upper stocking, and the lower edge is connected to the upper edge of the lower stocking. The case is tubular and made of waterproof and/or repellent materials. The femoral part of the case is made with the possibility of changing its length - the dimension in the longitudinal direction. The upper edge of the upper stocking is designed to fit snugly to the pelvic link of the exoskeleton. The lower edge of the lower stocking is made with the possibility of a snug fit to the tibial link of the exoskeleton. The case is dismountable at least at parts of its length. In addition, the case is configured to provide an access from the outside of the case to the existing tuning elements and the adjustment of the transverse rotation axes of the hip and knee joints of the exoskeleton in accordance with the position of the transverse rotation axes of the exoskeleton's hip and knee joints respectively of the user of the exoskeleton with the ability to output to the outside of the case the clamping elements of the exoskeleton femoral link to the femoral segment of a user of the exoskeleton and sensitive elements of sensors of a location information system in case of their placement on the foot rest of the exoskeleton.

EFFECT: creation of a protective case designed to protect the foot rest of the exoskeleton in the course of its operation from moisture, dust and dirt, as well as to prevent the small protruding elements of the exoskeleton foot rest from clinging to surrounding objects while providing capabilities to output to the outside of the case the clamping elements of the exoskeleton links to the corresponding segments of the user's legs of the exoskeleton and sensitive elements of sensors of a location information system in case of their placement on the foot rest of the exoskeleton, as well as an access to the tuning elements and the adjustment of the transverse rotation axes of the hip and knee joints of the exoskeleton in accordance with the anthropometric measurements of the user of the exoskeleton.
