Abstract:
A trunk supporting exoskeleton comprises: a supporting trunk; thigh links configured to move in unison with a wearer's thighs; and first and second torque generators located on both left and right halves of the wearer substantially close to the wearer's hip. The torque generators couple the supporting trunk to the thigh links, and generate torque between the thigh links and the supporting trunk. When the wearer bends forward such that a predetermined portion of the supporting trunk passes beyond a predetermined angle from vertical, a torque generator(s) imposes a resisting torque between the supporting trunk and the thigh link(s), causing the supporting trunk to impose a force against the wearer's trunk, and the thigh link(s) to impose a force onto the wearer's thigh. When the predetermined portion does not pass beyond the predetermined angle, the torque generators impose no resisting torques between said supporting trunk and respective thigh links.

Claim (Index 27):
A coupling device for coupling an exoskeleton to a wearer, the coupling device comprising:\n a human interface system configured to be worn by the wearer; a quick release mechanism comprising at least a first configuration and a second configuration for coupling and uncoupling the human interface system to at least one component of the exoskeleton, wherein in the first configuration, the quick release mechanism is configured to couple the exoskeleton to the human interface system in a manner that prevents the exoskeleton from becoming uncoupled from the human interface system, and wherein in the second configuration, the quick release mechanism is configured in a manner to allow the exoskeleton to be uncoupled from the human interface system; and a locking mechanism comprising multiple configurations, such as a locking configuration and an unlocking configuration, wherein: when the locking mechanism is in the locking configuration, uncoupling of the exoskeleton with the human interface system is not allowed; and when the locking mechanism is in the unlocking configuration, uncoupling of the exoskeleton with the human interface system is allowed.
