Abstract
A supporting module including a supporting frame including a proximal end and a distal end, a connecting plate connected with the distal end of the supporting frame, a sliding plate in contact with one face of the connecting plate, a supporting band connected to both ends of the connecting plate, and an elastic strip configured to connect the sliding plate and the connecting plate is disclosed.
Claims20
A support comprising:
- a supporting frame having a proximal end and a distal end;
- a connecting plate configured to connect to the distal end of the supporting frame, the connecting plate having a first end and a second end;
- a sliding plate configured to contact the connecting plate;
- a supporting band connected to the first end and the second end of the connecting plate;
- and
- an strip configured to connect the sliding plate and the connecting plate, wherein
- the supporting frame is configured to move relative to the sliding plate along a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction.
