Abstract

The support belt (1) consists of a divided pelvic belt (3), two shoulder-straps (2). and two crotch belts (4). The part-lengths (5) of the pelvic belt and shoulder belts are joined by tongues (8,9) to a fastening (7) to which the ends (20) of the crotch belts are directly fastened. The crotch belt ends are joined to loops (15) at an obtuse angle open towards the belt fastening. The loops are fixed into the fastening in a peripheral direction and grip round belt-tongues. The belt tongues have triangular detent ends (10) matching holders (11) for them.
