Back support device

Abstract

The invention provides an adjustable back support device configured to fit a user's height and waist size comprised of a harness, an articulating support structure, and an elastic support strap attached to the articulating support structure. The device provides spinal support, alignment, and back muscle assistance to a user when external forces are applied to the user's upper body and back muscles. The device fits over the shoulders and around the waist of a user and is supported vertically by the harness and laterally by a waist support belt. The elastic support strap provides resistance to the back muscles when a user bends from the waist. Resistance of the elastic support strap may be increased or decreased by an elastic strap tensioner assembly which adjusts resistance of the elastic support strap via a tensioner pin which contains a plurality of lockable positions for varying resistance of the elastic support strap.
