Abstract

Elongation device of the lower spinal column characterised in that it is a seat (1) wherein the seating is removed, following a release control (4b) thereof, said seat (1) no longer supporting the subject at all, who is only retained by the corset (2) or backrest (7) of the seat inclined in a previously selected position (x), thus inducing elongation by suspending the pelvis.<IMAGE>

Description

       

   <Desc/Clms Page number 1> 
 



  Siège d'élongation à assise mobile. 



  La présente invention a pour objet un appareil d'élongation des vertèbres lombai res. L'appareil permet à l'utilisateur l'adoption d'une position de relaxation engendrant l'élongation du bas de la colonne vertébrale. L'élongation est obtenue en soulageant les vertèbres et les disques de la pression exercée par le poids de la partie supérieure du corps, (le thorax étant enserré dans un corset) ainsi que par la traction due à la suspension du bassin. La traction est obtenue de manière statique grâce à une assise amovible. 



  L'utilisateur choisit lui-même la force et la durée de la traction en relâchant plus ou moins la pression sur les repose-pieds. 



  L'appareil est conçu de manière à ce qu'un utilisateur seul puisse le faire fonctionner en toute sécurité sans aide extérieure. 



  Il est entièrement autonome. 



  On connaît déjà deux grandes configurations pour les appareils de traction existants sont la traction avec le patient en position verticale (European Patent 0467 820   A t)   et la traction avec le patient en position horizontale (US Patent 5, 094, 228). Dans le cas de la traction verticale on suspend l'individu via un corset thoracique, l'individu reste droit. Dans le cas de la traction horizontale on utilise outre le corset thoracique un corset pelvien sur lequel on arrime le plus souvent un treuil motorisé pour provoquer la traction, l'individu peut plier les jambes. La position verticale a pour désavantage de faire intervenir le poids de toute la partie supérieure du corps qui doit être soulevée inutilement avec les désagréments d'une préhension thoracique importante et d'un support axillaire douloureux. 



   La position horizontale fait intervenir obligatoirement une force motrice extérieure pour la traction. 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 2> 

 



  L'un des objets de la présente invention est d'éviter ces désavantages, la nouvelle configuration (fig 1) permettant l'utilisation de la gravité comme force de traction, ainsi qu'un transfert partiel du poids sur les différents supports (appui   - tête,   dossier, support bassin (6)). La position pliée des jambes permet d'éviter l'hyperlordose lors de la traction, le dos reste plat ce qui augmente l'adhérence au dossier du corset. 



  Les dessins annexés représentent, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution. La structure de l'appareil représenté est en tubes métalliques assemblés. 



    - la   figure 1 représente la position avant traction - la figure 2 représente la position en traction L'appareil se présente donc sous la forme d'un siège dont l'assise est mobile et peut donc descendre au gré de l'utilisateur. 



  - Procédure de mise en position de traction. 



     1)   Enserrer le thorax dans le corset (2) 2) Poser le fessier sur l'assise (1) 3) Poser le dos sur le dossier le corset se maintient au dossier grâce à des bandes velcro. 



  4) Poser la tête sur le repose-tête (3) 5) Poser les pieds sur le repose-pieds (5) 6) Déverrouiller l'assise. 



  7) Alléger la pose des pieds   (A)   
La position ayant été maintenue suffisamment longtemps on verrouille à nouveau l'assise et l'on peut se redresser après avoir reposé les pieds au sol et avoir dégagé le corset du dossier. 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 3> 

 



  Les tubes a, b sont solidaires, cette structure rigide ainsi définie peut pivoter suivant l'axe (A) faisant ainsi varier l'angle (a) le réglage est obtenu par le serrage de la vis (x) faisant varier la longueur du bras télescopique formé des tubes c et d. Plus la position tend vers l'horizontale, plus les transferts de poids sont importants et par conséquent les contraintes thoraciques allégées mais, par contre, moins grande sera la force de traction. 



  L'assise (1) est fixée perpendiculairement au bras (f). Lorsque le manche (4) est poussé vers l'avant (déplacement   )   il déverrouille la position haute du bras (f) qui pivote suivant un axe (B) et permet à l'assise de descendre en appuyant légèrement dessus (fig 2). 



  La course du bras (f) est limitée par une butée haute (y) et une butée basse (z). La position initiale du bras (f), en l'absence d'utilisateur. est la position haute, le poids de la partie de l'assise est légèrement inférieur au poids de la partie opposée. 



  Le bras (f) se met donc contre la butée (y) dès que l'on déverrouille celui-ci. 



  L'assise (1) restera donc légèrement en contact (E) (fig 2) avec les cuisses même si le bras (f) est entièrement libre. 



  Le corset enveloppe parfaitement le thorax. Il est muni de bandes velcro extérieur dans le dos. Le dossier (7) est muni d'un tissu qui permet au velcro de s'y accrocher   ; ainsi,   dès que le corset est mis en contact avec le dossier, il y adhère. 



   Un patin (6) supportant le bassin peut s'abaisser dans un mouvement (JT) dès que l'élongation se produit (il peut se présenter sous forme de rouleau en rotation).

  Elongation seat with movable seat.



  The present invention relates to an elongation device for the lumbar vertebrae. The device allows the user to adopt a relaxed position resulting in the elongation of the bottom of the spine. The elongation is obtained by relieving the vertebrae and the discs of the pressure exerted by the weight of the upper part of the body, (the thorax being enclosed in a corset) as well as by the traction due to the suspension of the pelvis. Traction is obtained statically thanks to a removable seat.



  The user chooses the strength and duration of the traction himself by more or less releasing the pressure on the footrests.



  The device is designed so that a single user can operate it safely without outside help.



  It is fully autonomous.



  Two major configurations are already known for existing traction devices: traction with the patient in the vertical position (European Patent 0467 820 A t) and traction with the patient in the horizontal position (US Patent 5, 094, 228). In the case of vertical traction, the individual is suspended via a thoracic corset, the individual remains straight. In the case of horizontal traction, in addition to the thoracic corset, a pelvic corset is used, on which a motorized winch is most often secured to cause traction, the individual can bend the legs. The vertical position has the disadvantage of involving the weight of the entire upper part of the body which must be lifted unnecessarily with the inconvenience of a large chest grip and painful axillary support.



   The horizontal position necessarily involves an external driving force for traction.

 <Desc / Clms Page number 2>

 



  One of the objects of the present invention is to avoid these disadvantages, the new configuration (fig 1) allowing the use of gravity as a pulling force, as well as a partial transfer of the weight on the different supports (support - head, back, basin support (6)). The folded position of the legs prevents hyperlordosis during traction, the back remains flat which increases the grip on the back of the corset.



  The accompanying drawings show, by way of example, an embodiment. The structure of the device shown is made of assembled metal tubes.



    - Figure 1 shows the position before traction - Figure 2 shows the position in traction The device is therefore in the form of a seat whose seat is movable and can therefore descend at the option of the user.



  - Procedure for placing in the traction position.



     1) Clamp the thorax in the corset (2) 2) Place the buttocks on the seat (1) 3) Place the back on the backrest the corset is held in the backrest with Velcro straps.



  4) Place the head on the headrest (3) 5) Place the feet on the footrest (5) 6) Unlock the seat.



  7) Lighten the pose of the feet (A)
The position having been maintained long enough, the seat is locked again and you can straighten up after resting your feet on the ground and having released the back corset.

 <Desc / Clms Page number 3>

 



  The tubes a, b are integral, this rigid structure thus defined can pivot along the axis (A) thus varying the angle (a) the adjustment is obtained by tightening the screw (x) varying the length of the arm telescopic formed by tubes c and d. The more the position tends towards the horizontal, the greater the weight transfers and consequently the reduced thoracic stresses, but, on the other hand, the less the traction force.



  The seat (1) is fixed perpendicular to the arm (f). When the handle (4) is pushed forward (displacement) it unlocks the upper position of the arm (f) which pivots along an axis (B) and allows the seat to descend by pressing lightly on it (fig 2).



  The stroke of the arm (f) is limited by a high stop (y) and a low stop (z). The initial position of the arm (f), in the absence of a user. is the high position, the weight of the seat part is slightly less than the weight of the opposite part.



  The arm (f) is therefore placed against the stop (y) as soon as it is unlocked.



  The seat (1) will therefore remain slightly in contact (E) (fig 2) with the thighs even if the arm (f) is completely free.



  The corset wraps the chest perfectly. It has external Velcro straps on the back. The backrest (7) is provided with a fabric which allows the Velcro to hang on it; thus, as soon as the corset is brought into contact with the backrest, it adheres to it.



   A pad (6) supporting the pelvis can be lowered in a movement (JT) as soon as the elongation occurs (it can be in the form of a rotating roller).
