Received the 2024 Japan Patent Attorneys Association Chairman's Award (Chugoku Region Commendation for Invention)

What is the "Japan Patent Attorneys Association Chairman's Award (Chugoku Region Commendation for Invention)"?

The Chugoku Region Commendation for Invention is held to encourage and foster inventions and to contribute to the improvement of science and technology and the deepening of industry in Japan by honoring persons in the Chugoku Region who have completed outstanding inventions and designs, as well as those who have made significant contributions in the implementation and encouragement of their inventions. The Japan Patent Attorneys Association Chairman's Award, which was awarded this time, is intended for inventions that are outstandingly inventive in terms of chemistry and technology, and that have achieved remarkable practical effects.

Features of "e.z.UP(R)

Can be worn all day long

The support force of "e.z.UP(R)(Easy-UP)" can be adjusted with a single touch. When taking a break or when not performing lifting work, the support force can be released and the elastic tension can be relaxed to allow the wearer to work in the same manner as when normal, so the wearer can wear it all day long. There is no need to take it off when not working. 2.

2. arm assistance and waist assistance at the same time

While most assistive suits on the market only provide assistance to the waist, "e.z.UP(R)" assists the arms and waist at the same time, and when the waist or knees are bent, the arms are naturally lifted in tandem.

3. can be put on in one minute

Put the arms through the upper garment as if wearing a blouson, and close the front buckle and dot buttons to complete the attachment of the upper garment portion. Next, attach the leg parts hanging from the waist to both legs. Take off your shoes, pick up one of the leg parts, put the belt over your feet, wrap the knee with the knee part, and secure the belt at the ankle to complete the attachment of the leg part on one side. The other leg part should be put on in the same manner to complete the application. When working, close the left and right arm hook-and-loop fasteners and adjust the assist force with the rear assist force adjustment belt. 4.

Ultra-lightweight weighing only 830g

In collaboration with a material manufacturer, we developed thin, light, and cool materials and strong and durable special rubber that increases the assistive force, achieving strong assistive force and light weight. 5.

5. supports not only up-and-down, left-and-right, and side-to-side movement, but also side-to-side movement

The frame-less structure allows the body to be moved in a half-square position. A special function distributes and absorbs the support force of the belt vertically and horizontally, so it flexibly responds to asymmetrical movements such as twisting at the waist and maintains the support force. 6.

6. washable in any environment

The assistive suit does not use batteries or motors and utilizes a fabric mechanism of stretchable fabric and rubber, so it can be used in high temperatures, high humidity, and low temperatures, which are difficult for batteries and motors, and can be washed at home in the provided bag for sanitary use.
