Wearable support structure for at least partly relieving a human body during leaning or bending over

Wearable support structure for at least partly relieving a human body during leaning or bending over, said wearable support structure comprising a frame having:

• a chest support for bearing upon a chest of said human body;
• pivoting arrangements for pivoting the wearable support structure in correspondence with the leaning or bending of the human body;
• two elongated stays connected to said chest support, provided to extend substantially alongside opposite sides of said human body and connected to said pivoting arrangements,
• wherein the two elongated stays are resilient stays arranged such that they are in a stretched state corresponding with an upright position of said human body when being unloaded, and arranged to be biased back to said stretched state when being bent into a bent state corresponding with a leaning or bending position of said human body,
• a lumbar support, connected to said pivoting arrangements, and arranged for bearing upon a lumbar area of said human body, and
• a thigh support, connected to said pivoting arrangements, and arranged for bearing upon a front side of a thigh area,
• characterized in that
• said chest support comprises two spatially separated pivoting means, wherein said two elongated stays are each connected to said chest support via a different one of said two spatially separated pivoting means, wherein each of said two spatially separated pivoting means is arranged to pivot said chest support with respect to a respective one of said two elongated stays connected thereto, in a plane substantially parallel to said chest of said human body and
• wherein the two elongated stays are distinct and discrete from the pivoting arrangements.
