ABSTRACT:
The back and stomach support device includes a) an elastic, flat, upraised, central back support, preferably tapering on its side margins from bottom to top, b) a first pair of flexible inelastic, elongated strips connected to the opposite sides of the central back support near the bottom thereof and sloping slightly upwardly as they extend laterally thereof; c) a second pair of such strips connected to the opposite sides of the central back support near the top thereof, overlapping the upper margins of the rear surfaces of the first pair of strips and sloping slightly downwardly as they extend laterally of the central back support; and, d) hook and loop fasteners on the strips. The strips wrap around the sides and front of the mid-section of a human torso for full support and overlap each other to an adjustable extent. The device can include a pair of elastic wings connected to the rear surface of the central back support and extending laterally behind the strips for releasable connection thereto to control the tension of the back support. The device can also include a removable pair of adjustable shoulder suspenders to hold the device in place when not in use.
