Abstract

A waist support frame for a detachment type waist protecting belt to hold the vertebra region of a vertebra related patient is provided. The frame is comprised of two back rest frames, two Y-shape hinges, two power modules, two pullers, two sets of strings each of them are engaged and connects on one part (upper- or lower-part) of the two power modules, and two set of broad bands. Each power module is equipped with twelve pair of pulling code conveying mini rollers. String arrangement through these twelve pair of rollers enables the inventor to provide a waist support frame that can be used by a user whose one hand is not available without rotating the frame around the user'"'"'s body with only one hand.

Claims

1. A waist support frame for a detachment type waist protecting belt to hold the vertebra region of a vertebra related patient, whose one hand is not available, without rotating the flame around the user'"'"'s body with only one hand is comprised of;

two back rest frames, and

two Y-shape hinges, and

two power modules, each of which is comprised of two back brace plates of upper- and lower-plate, each of them has two key holes developed to receive two power module anchors that are fixed on the back rest frame and has one arc-shape angle adjust slot, developed on the center of the plate to receive another power module anchor, and are connected by the Y-shape hinge, and

each of which is equipped with twelve pairs of pulling code conveying mini rollers, and

two pullers, and

an upper string that is engaged and connected to the upper-parts of the two power modules and both ends of the string are connected to one of the pullers, and a lower string that is engaged and connected to the lower-parts of the two power

modules and both ends of the string are connected to one of the pullers, and two set of broad bands.

2. A waist support frame for a detachment type waist protecting belt to hold the vertebra region of a vertebra related patient, whose one hand is not available, without rotating the frame around the user'"'"'s body with only one hand of claim 1,

wherein;

the two power modules are comprised of one left module and one right module and divided into four plates of one upper plate of the left side, one upper plate of right side, one lower plate of the left side, and one lower plate of the right side, and

an upper string that is engaged and connected to the upper-parts of the two power modules and both ends of the string are connected to one of pullers, and

a lower string that is engaged and connected to the lower-parts of the two power modules and both ends of the string are connected to one of pullers.

3. A waist support frame for a detachment type waist protecting belt to hold the vertebra region of a vertebra related patient, whose one hand is not available, without rotating the frame around the user'"'"'s body with only one hand of claim 2,

wherein each plate is equipped with six pairs of pulling code conveying mini rollers and

an upper string that is engaged and connected to the upper-parts of the two power modules and both ends of the string are connected to one of pullers, and

a lower string that is engaged and connected to the lower-parts of the two power modules and both ends of the string are connected to one of pullers.

4. A waist support frame for a detachment type waist protecting belt to hold the vertebra region of a vertebra related patient, whose one hand is not available, without rotating the frame around the user'"'"'s body with only one hand of claim 2,
