Abstract

A variety of body supports are disclosed for supporting a body portion, for example, for supporting a chest in a donned configuration. In some examples, the body support includes a first support panel having one or more first tongues projecting outwardly therefrom, a second support panel having one or more second tongues projecting outwardly therefrom, a connecting section, joining the first support panel to said second support panel in longitudinal spaced relationship along an imaginary longitudinal mid-line of the body support, the first tongue and the second tongue being on opposite transverse sides of a mid-line of the body support, a first fastener and a second fastener. The body support may further include a doffed configuration in which the first support panel and the second support panel are non-contiguous with respect to one another.

Claims79

Dependent claims

A body support for covering and supporting at least a first body area and a second body area of a body portion, each one of the first body area and the second body area being on a different lateral side of a median plane of the body portion, the body support having a donned configuration and a doffed configuration with respect to the body portion, the body support comprising:

a first support comprising a resilient first panel, a first inner lateral end and a free first outer lateral end, spaced from said first inner lateral end;
a second support comprising a resilient second panel, a second inner lateral end and a free second outer lateral end, spaced from said first inner lateral end;
a connecting section joined to the first inner lateral end and to the second inner lateral end for thereby enabling, in the donned configuration, encircling and supporting the body portion when affixed thereto;
at least one first tongue outwardly projecting from said first outer lateral end and comprising a first fastener configured for selectively and reversibly affixing said first support with respect to said second support at least at one first location, in the donned configuration, such that a portion of said first tongue is in overlapping abutting relationship with a respective portion of said second support, wherein to enable a first support pressure to be induced to the first body area by abutting contact therewith;
and
at least one second tongue outwardly projecting from said second outer lateral end and comprising a second fastener, different from said first fastener, configured for selectively and reversibly affixing said second support with respect to said first support at least at one second location, in the donned configuration, such that a portion of said second tongue is in overlapping abutting relationship with a respective portion of said first support, wherein to enable a second. support pressure to be induced to the second body area by abutting contact therewith;
wherein:
in the doffed configuration the first support and the second support are non-contiguous with respect to one another.

A body support for selectively encircling a body part in abutment therewith and supporting at least a first body area and a second body area thereof in a donned configuration, each one of the first body area and the second body area being on a different lateral side of a median plane of the body part, the body support further having a doffed configuration with respect to the body portion, the body support comprising;

a resilient first support panel for abutting the first body area;
a resilient second support panel for abutting the second body area;
a flexible connecting section, joining said first support panel to said second support panel in longitudinal spaced relationship along an imaginary longitudinal mid-line of the body support;
at east one flexible first tongue projecting outwardly from the first support panel in a general first longitudinal direction away from the connecting section, each said first tongue being transversely spaced from said mid-line on a first transverse side of said mid-line;
at least one flexible second tongue projecting outwardly from the second breast support panel in a general second longitudinal direction away from the connecting section, each said second tongue being transversely spaced from said mid-line on a second transverse side of said mid-line;
said first transverse side and said second transverse side being opposite transverse sides of the mid-line;
a first fastener operative for selectively and reversibly affixing each said first tongue to said second support panel at least at one first relative spatial disposition on said first transverse side of the mid-line;
a second fastener operative for selectively and reversibly affixing each said second tongue to said first support panel at least at one second relative spatial disposition on said second transverse side of the mid-line;
wherein in the doffed configuration the first support panel and the second support panel are non-contiguous with respect to one another,
