Technical information
Description
The following components of Balancer are described below:
From the user’s perspective, the point of contact with Balancer is via the wrist/arm-fitting into
which the user’s wrist/arm is inserted. As such, the arm-fitting is a component which is specific
to the individual user. The arm-
fitting is connected to an attachment. When in use, the user’s
arm must remain in contact with this arm-fitting at all times.
The cord is used to transfer the force from the spring mechanism to the arm-fitting.
The horizontal arm brings the arm-fitting into the working reach of the user.
Hinge 1 can be used to rotate the horizontal arm so that the system can be folded.
The vertical arm brings the horizontal arm above the user.
Hinge 2 can be used to enable Balancer to be folded.
The spring mechanism contains the spring with which the balancing force is achieved.
Additionally, the balancing force can be adjusted using the knob.
