Abstract
The sections/panels with air pockets-as shown in figure one, cross section-can be formed to shape different areas of the body-as examples on figures two and three-to assist movement of those parts by transference of air, through the returnable air flow connectors by the motion of displacement and replacement of air.
Description
DESCRIPTION:
AIR ASSISTED MOBILITY DEVICE/S.
This present invention provides an air assisting device for aiding the mobility of the body/parts of the wearer, the device comprising at least one panel, the panel/s may be connected together to form a number of different shapes to suit different body parts/shapes, the panel/s being provided with a plurality of interior air pockets/chambers which, when in use, assists the mobility of the wearer as a result of movement redistributing internal air between the interior pockets of the device.
The basic formation of the device/s is shown in figure one cross section as pockets "b" inside covering "a" transferring air through returnable air flow connectors "c", all of which can vary in thickness/depth/size according to the purpose of each usage and connection required.
Usually injury or damage to the body restricts movement, especially if initial treatment was immobility, to assist mobility this present invention has air transference with the motion of displacement and replacement of air between air pockets/chambers through returnable "c" connectors.
Figure one cross section shows the formation which can vary in thickness/depth, according to the purpose of each usage and connection required.
Figure two shows a fuller body shape for upper body movement and the possibility of changes that can be made to it for varying needs, e.g.. "P changes in size or connects to
"e"
Figure three shows a specific shape i.e. a foot - as required for an awkward area of the body. This too can have "f ' connected to "g" for longer leg if required.
When fitted to the body/parts of, the device/s assist that area/part of the body with mobility/movement by the transference of air motion between air pockets/chambers.
Air stoppers "d" close to prevent passive air escape, but can allow necessary air escape or air input using independent air connectors "c" - which can also connect sections/panels together.

Claims
1. An air assisting device for aiding the mobility of a wearer, the device comprising at least one panel/section, the panels/sections being capable of being connected together to form a number of different shapes to suit different body parts/shapes, the panels/sections being provided with a plurality of interior pockets which, when in use, assists the mobility of the wearer as a result of movement redistributing internal air between the interior pockets/chambers of the device.
2. An air assisting device of claim 1, wherein when required shape is formed it is fitted to the body assisting movement in that region, by the motion of the displacement and replacement of the air.
