Preferred embodiments are provided in the following description only as examples and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined in the following description would be applied to other embodiments, alternatives, modifications, equivalents, and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
[0048] The present invention provides a preferred embodiment of a wearable device, as shown in
[0049] The wearable device comprises a wearable assembly 10 and two resilience supporters 20, and the wearable assembly 10 is detachably arranged on the resilience supporters 20. Preferably, the wearable assembly 10 is supported between two resilience supporters 20. The two of resilience supporters 20 are examples in the preferred embodiment. In some modified embodiments, the resilience supporters 20 may be manufactured in more than two. The wearable assembly 10 is suitable for being used to fitly attach on a user 90, and the user 90 is indirectly connected to the two resilience supporters 20. After the user 90 wears the wearable assembly 10 snugly, the two resilience supporters 20 are placed on two sides of the user 90 respectively.
[0050] It is worth to mention that the resilience supporter 20 has a tendency to remain upright. In other words, when the resilience supporter 20 is bent by applying a force, an elastic force for restoring straightness will be generated. The resilience supporter 20 provides the user 90 with the main core muscles to be trained counterforce. In an application, when the user 90 wears the wearable assembly 10 and bends down, it needs to oppose the elastic force of the resilience supporter 20, and needs to apply force from the core muscles of the abdomen or chest.
[0051] As shown in
[0052] The wearable assembly 10 further comprises a width fastener 15 detachably arranged on the bottom ends of the two resilience supporters 20, so as to fix the length between the bottom ends of the two resilience supporters 20 with respect to the free top ends of the two resilience supporters 20. In one embodiment, the width fastener 15 is supported by two parallel resilience supporters 20, and the waist fastener 11 is vertically supported on the two resilience supporters 20 similarly to the width fastener 15, and the two shoulder fasteners 12 are respectively placed on the top ends of the two resilience supporters 20. As shown in
[0053] It is worth to mention that, in order to clearly explain the structure of the present invention, the top and bottom ends of the two resilience supporters 20 referred to in this embodiment respectively refer to the higher ends and the lower ends when the resilience supporters 20 are in a vertical using state.
[0054] As shown in
[0055] Furthermore, the waist fastener 11 and the shoulder fastener 12 are arranged in a coherent manner on the resilience supporter 20. The resilience supporter 20 provides an upright elastic tendency. When the waist of the user 90 is attached on the waist fastener 11 and the shoulder is attached on the shoulder fastener 12, the major muscles can be trained against the elastic force of the resilience supporter 20. At the same time, the spine bones of the user 90 will be guided vertically, so that the posture of the waist and shoulders can be corrected.
[0056] More specifically, the waist fastener 11 further comprises two waist positioners 111 and a connecting belt 112. The two waist positioners 111 are detachably arranged on the two resilience supporters 20 respectively, wherein the connecting belt 112 is connected to the two waist positioners 111 such that the distance between the two resilience supporters 20 is determined by the length of the connecting belt 112. The connecting belt 112 is suitable for being worn on the waist of the user 90 so as to place the two resilience supporters 20 on left and right sides of the user 90 respectively. The circumference or length of the connecting belt 112 can be adjusted adaptively.
