Patent ID: 8808212

Claim:
A shoulder support device for facilitating correct posture of shoulders of a wearer, the shoulder support device comprising: a continuous ring band formed of flexible elastic material having a transverse width sufficient to extend over, conform to, and cup a curved deltoid region of the lateral aspect of each shoulder of the wearer; a slide member slidably and adjustably disposed on said continuous ring band, said slide having a peripheral frame with a central divider defining laterally adjacent first and second openings each having a width smaller than said transverse width of said continuous ring band, and said continuous ring band in a flattened condition extending through said first opening, over said central divider, and through said second opening so as to narrow said transverse width of said continuous ring band at a mid portion thereof and divide said band into a pair of laterally opposed loops defining arm receiving apertures, each diverging outwardly from a narrower width portion adjacent to said slide member to a wider outer side portion; wherein said wider outer side portion of each of said loops is received on and is stretched over the curved deltoid region of the lateral aspect of each shoulder of the wearer to cup and conform to the curvature thereof, respectively, and said slide is disposed at the back side of the wearer adjacent to the wearer's shoulder blades to pull the wearer's shoulders back and downward under tension to achieve a proper posture position.
