EXOSKELETON Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A61H3/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to exoskeletons. The exoskeleton contains a frame on which an elastic corset is fixed on top, made in the form of left and right arcs of rigidity to support or fix the spine, connected by a support ring made with the possibility of attaching the upper ex-extremities. The left and right lower ex-extremities are attached to the bottom of the frame, each of which contains a thigh attached to the frame, a lower leg connected to it, to which a foot is attached below. The foot is made in the form of the heel bone attached to the lower leg, and the metatarsus connected to it in front, to which the phalanges of the fingers are attached. Exosoles are located on the heel bones and phalanges of the fingers. The connection of the frame, left and right arcs of stiffness, support ring, thighs, shins, heel bones, metatarsus and phalanges of the fingers is provided with a hinge joint. The hinge connection is made in the form of cylindrical hinges located between the connected elements of the first and second cylindrical hinges, installed mutually perpendicular and fixed at the ends of the connected elements of the exoskeleton. On the first and second cylindrical hinges, torsion springs are installed in pairs, their ends fixed at the ends of the elements to be connected. The thighs, shins, calcaneus, metatarsus, phalanges of the fingers are made in the form of links, in which a section of variable length is made on the side of the element located below, which contains a body with a rod located inside it, made with the possibility of reciprocating movement by means of a compression spring fixed to the body-stretching. From the side of the section of variable length of the indicated elements, their end for connection with an adjacent element is a rod. The exosole is made of elastic thermoplastic elastomer.

EFFECT: increased comfort of operation of the exoskeleton, simplification of its design, increase in strength, endurance of a person and time of continuous work in the exoskeleton.
