A body support device includes a body attachment portion having a first side and a second side, the first side including a plurality of receiving channels, and a leg assembly including an elongate member having an elongate body, a first end having a coupling interface configured for releasable attachment with the body attachment portion and a second end extending from the body attachment portion, wherein the coupling interface includes a hinge assembly having a first hinging portion and a second hinging portion, and wherein the second hinging portion is configured for pivotal movement such that the elongate member is configured for movement between extended and retracted positions.

Body support device

A body support device in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a body attachment portion configured for attaching the body support device to a body of a user, wherein the body attachment portion has a first side and a second side, therein the first side is configured for coupling with the body of the user and wherein the second side is configured for facing away from the body of the user, a leg having an elongate body, a first end having a coupling interface configured for attachment with the second side of the body attachment portion and a second end extending from the body attachment portion, wherein the coupling interface includes a hinge assembly such that the leg is configured for movement within a pivot range, and a locking assembly for locking the leg in a fixed position relative to the body attachment portion within the pivot range.

Body support device having locking leg

In one embodiment, a method of supporting the neck of a user when the user is laying on his or her back includes: obtaining a neck support device including first and second leg attachment portions, a head cradle, and a first coupling portion attaching the first leg attachment portion to the head cradle and a second coupling portion attaching the second leg attachment portion to the head cradle; attaching the first leg attachment portion to the first leg or foot of the user; attaching the second leg attachment portion to the second leg or foot of the user; and arranging the head cradle on a back portion of a user's head such that the user's head is held in tension.

Method of supporting the neck of a user

A body support device includes a body attachment portion configured for attaching the body support device to a body of a user, a leg comprising an elongate member having an elongate body having a central longitudinal axis, the leg configured for coupling with the body attachment portion, the elongate member configured for hinged movement between extended and retracted positions, and a coupling interface for hingedly coupling the leg to the body attachment portion, such that the leg is configured for hinging between extended and retracted positions relative to the body attachment portion, wherein the coupling interface is configured for slidably releasable attachment with the at least one receiving channel on the body attachment portion.

Body support device having releasable leg

In one embodiment, a neck support device includes: first and second leg attachment portions; a head cradle; and a first coupling portion attaching the first leg attachment portion to the head cradle and a second coupling portion attaching the second leg attachment portion to the head cradle. In another embodiment, a method of supporting the neck of a user when the user is laying on his or her back or supporting the back of a user when the user is in a seated position includes: attaching the first leg attachment portion to the first leg of the user; attaching the second leg attachment portion to the second leg of the user; and fixing the head cradle.

Neck support device

A body support device includes a body attachment portion configured for attaching the body support device to a body of a user, a leg configured for coupling with the body attachment portion, wherein the proximal end is a first stopping surface, and wherein the distal end is configured to extend outwardly from the body attachment portion and the body of the user, and a coupling interface for coupling the leg to the body attachment portion, wherein the coupling interface includes a hinge adjacent the first stopping surface, such that the leg is hingedly coupled to the body attachment portion and configured for hinging at a location spaced from the central longitudinal axis of the leg between extended and retracted positions relative to the body attachment portion.

A body support device is usable to alleviate stress and strain from the weight of the upper torso on the lower back, spine, knees, and muscles. The body support device includes a chest plate, a body strap configured to couple the chest plate to a user, and a leg having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is configured for releasably coupling with the chest plate and wherein the distal end is configured to extend outwardly from the chest plate and the body of the user.
