Leg harness and locking mechanism device

A leg harness and locking mechanism device, comprising:

• at least one harness assembly, each harness assembly of said at least one harness assembly deployable along and securable to one of a left leg and a right leg of a user, wherein each harness assembly comprises one or more frames deployable along and securable to respective one or more sides of said one of the left leg and the right leg, wherein each frame of the one or more frames comprises:
• a thigh portion and a calf portion, the thigh and calf portions generally rigid and respectively deployable along a thigh and a calf of said one of the left leg and the right leg,
• a hinge, configured to facilitate a relative pivoting between the thigh portion and the calf portion about a hinge rotation axis to thereby enable a folding of said each frame at a knee of said one of the left leg and the right leg, and
• a hinge locking mechanism configured to selectively engage the hinge, the hinge locking mechanism comprising an elongate, hinge locking arm extending along the thigh portion of said each frame, from an upper area of said thigh portion to a lower area of said thigh portion, wherein the hinge locking arm is operable at said upper area of said thigh portion to cause the hinge locking arm to selectively engage the hinge at said lower area of the thigh portion to alternatively engage the hinge and prevent said relative pivoting or disengage the hinge and enable said relative pivoting;
• wherein
• said each harness assembly is configured to adopt at least one locked configuration, wherein, in each locked configuration of the at least one locked configuration, the thigh and calf portions of each frame of the one or more frames of said each harness assembly are arranged at a respective pivoting angle relatively to one another about the hinge rotation axis of said each frame, and the hinge locking mechanism of said each frame is arranged engaging the hinge of said each frame and preventing said relative pivoting, the thigh portion and calf portion configured to relieve pressure on said knee.
