Description

"BANQUET FOR CORRECTION SYSTEM OF COLUMN POSTURE, IN YOGA PRACTICES OR SIMILAR ACTIVITIES"

[001] This invention patent application refers to an anatomical stool for the practice of yoga or other activities, including therapeutic purposes, which is formed from a basically triangular and padded seat base, as well as slightly inclined down in its front portion. This inclination defines a curved back strategically facing forward, which will promote, during its use, a perfect posture of the human spine, stimulating the user to remain upright and thus generate benefits for their health.

[002] The stool also provides that, given the specific radius of curvature of the backrest, it will be used in the treatment of the spine, since its backrest has a specific angle in two variable positions for the length of the trunk extension (forward or backwards) which promotes support in the lower part of the lumbar region. This support is designed to support the center of gravity of the human body so that the space between the articular discs is stimulated to return to its proper position between one vertebra and the other, according to the studies and tests of the neuro-structural reflex arc of the ligaments and tendons of the vertebral processes.

TECHNICAL STATUS

[003] As the state of the art is aware, the human spine is a fundamental part of the body structure, however, over the years there is a natural tendency for problems to arise due to poor posture or due to the configuration of conventional seats that are formed by banks of

2/5 concave characteristics that cause the lack of functional stimulation in the lumbar region, where the natural lumbar lordosis is forced to be projected back out of its natural and functional position. By staying in this position for a long time, they favor the appearance of spine problems.

[004] Another unfavorable condition is the use of the concavity in the “saddle” type seat. The concavity has been used throughout the history of ergonomic designs and has a look towards the design of the body silhouette. As an example, the patent document “MU 8202057-4”, entitled DISPOSITION ON BANQUET, which refers to a patent for a utility model for a banquette, ergonomic, consisting of a seat type seat, in addition to a prismatic backrest , with inverted T tubular stem and a slightly curved verticalized branch, on whose upper end the backrest is crossed. At a median point, the seat is articulated on a posterior leg in an inverted T, while at the lower end the slightly curved vertical branch has a crossed horizontal lower branch constituting a support base on the floor. Furthermore, the study of furniture design that has been used in people's daily lives privileges the silhouette over the function and design of the bones of the human body.

[005] It turns out that such a stool does not meet the sinuous anatomical requirements of the human column and, as the vast majority of these furniture ends up keeping it in a position that does not bring well-being or physical benefits to the user. These furniture see the human design by its silhouette instead of prioritizing the support of the bones and their natural curves and angles, developed in the psychomotor process of the bipedal posture.

PATENT OBJECTIVE

[006] In order to solve this problem, the inventor comes, through this patent application, to solve such inconveniences through an anatomical stool, whose seat has an inclination and the radius of a curved backrest, strategically combined so that during its use the person can position so as to respect the sinuosity of your spine in the lumbar region and consequently remain aligned in a natural way respecting the anatomical and ergonomic supports of the body bones. In this way it becomes possible to improve the practice of meditation, extend the time of practice and at the same time keep the spine upright, depending on the support of the lower part of the lumbar region. Aiding the removal of the stimulated intervertebral discs to the proper position, between the spine vertebrae.

[007] Explained superficially, the stool is better detailed through the drawings in annexes:

[008] Figure 1 - top-rear perspective view of the stool, showing the curvature of the backrest combined with the seat;

[009] Figure 2 - top side perspective view of the stool, in use, showing the correct positioning of the user's column favored by the curvature of the backrest;

[010] Figure 3 - Side view according to the previous figure;

[011] Figure 4 - view according to figure 3, showing schematically the area of greatest support of the lumbar region in normal backrest condition;

[012] Figure 5 - view according to the previous figure with the backrest slightly forward. In this condition, the support area occurs at a lower point in the lumbar region.

4/5

[013] In accordance with the attached figures, the "BANQUET FOR CORRECTION SYSTEM OF POSITION OF COLUMN, IN YOGA PRACTICES OR SIMILAR ACTIVITIES", object of the present application for a patent for an invention, is composed of a banquette (1) based (2) delimited in its frontal portion by an area of greater width (3) that closes in a gradual angle towards the posterior portion (4), gaining triangular conformation of rounded vertices (5). This (4), in turn, receives front chocks (6) of lower height, as well as a rear chock (7) of higher height. These wedges (6) and (7) cause the base (2) to have a slight angle down to the stool (1), starting from the rear portion (4) to the front portion.

[014] Above the base (2) receives padded seats (8) height compensators, while from its rear portion (4) said base (2) projects a curved backrest (9) so that its curvature ( 10) is raised forward and the top region (11) is turned backwards. This backrest (9), in turn, also receives a pad (12).

[015] Thus constituted, the stool (1) is properly positioned on the ground or in the place that best suits the user, so that when sitting on the padding (8) of the base (2), the user is positioned with its lumbar region (L) perfectly accommodated on the curvature (10) of the curved backrest (9), making your spine remain in an upright position.

[016] The treatment of people with spinal problems, which usually occurs in the lower parts of the lumbar region, occurs so that the spine is properly chocked at the strategic point (PE) as shown in figure 5.

[017] During the period of use, whether in the practice of meditations or in therapeutic activities, the curvature (10) will stimulate the correction of the spine, keeping it focused on the natural position and thus bringing benefits to the health of users.
