RU173723U1 - Device for determining the flexibility of the spine - Google Patents

Abstract

The use of a utility model of this simplest device for determining the flexibility of the spine in the educational process in physical education in some general educational institutions in Moscow aroused great interest among both teachers and students because of its safety, ease of use, novelty and the desire to increase the level of physical development in this form of tests. Determining the flexibility of the spine is one of the main types of the TRP Complex. The use of this device and, on its basis, the development of standards for all age and gender categories of the population can significantly increase the significance and credibility of the TRP Complex among the population of the Russian Federation. Using this device in the program of the new TRP Complex will make it possible to objectively assess the level of physical development of those who pass the TRP Complex standards to determine flexibility and, especially, to applicants who, upon admission to universities, count on additional preferential points.

Description

This device is intended to determine the flexibility of the spine of the subjects, allowing visually and with sufficient accuracy to determine the degree of flexibility of the spine when passing the standards of the TRP Complex.

The device consists of a plywood panel (2) with a scale through each centimeter up and down from the “0” level of the gymnastics bench, two metal guide rods (3), a metal corner (1), for fixing the device on the bench, four stops (4), the movable bar (5) and two clamps (6), pressing the movable bar to the sliders (7), mounted on the guide rods.

The level of technology.

As a result of a patent search, a device for measuring the flexibility of the spine No. RU 143298 U1, July 20, 2014 with the following set of common essential features was identified: "A device for determining the flexibility of the spine, containing a measuring element configured to move along the measuring scale." This device is selected as the closest prototype.

The patent search also revealed a device for determining the flexibility of the spine according to RU 157666 U1, 12/10/2015, with the following set of common essential features: “A device for measuring and integral assessment of spinal flexibility, mobility of the hip joints in the test with an forward and downward inclination”.

The main disadvantages of these devices should be considered their complexity in manufacturing, significant cost and size for mass use in physical education classes and in centers for passing the standards of the TRP Complex.

Essence.

The task this utility model is aimed at eliminating the above disadvantages and in the ability to objectively and visually assess the degree of flexibility of the spine involved with an accuracy of 1 cm based on the use of this device.

The basis of the utility model is a sheet of plywood, to which 2 tubes 18 mm in diameter and 500 mm long are attached in parallel at a distance of 20 cm from each other to move up and down a metal strip that fixes the level of inclination. At the ends of the guide tubes, restriction caps are installed on top and bottom for safety reasons. A scale is applied to the surface of the base of the device, reflecting the slope to the surface of the bench and below. To fix the device on the gymnastic bench on the back surface of the base, a metal corner is strengthened, the upper edge of which corresponds to the level of the bench on which the student steps on, pressing the device to the bench with two feet.

The main advantages of this device should be considered the simplicity of development and operation, the minimum financial costs in the manufacture, compactness.

Claims (1)

A device for determining the flexibility of the spine, containing a measuring element mounted for movement along the measuring scale, characterized in that it comprises a plywood panel with a possibility of fixing on the gymnastic bench with a scale every centimeter up and down from the zero level of the gymnastic bench, a metal corner for fixing plywood panels on the gymnastics bench, two metal guide rods in the form of tubes, four stoppers in the form of caps, two clamps, At the same time, the measuring element mounted with the possibility of moving along the measuring scale is made in the form of a fixing level of the tilt of a metal movable bar located with the possibility of moving up and down along the guide rods, and two clamps press the movable bar to the sliders located on the guide rods, and the limiters mounted on top and bottom at the ends of the guide rods.
