Field of application of the invention

The invention relates to a universally usable relaxation device for the sporty-up to the medical field.

Characteristics of the known prior art

Extension devices are known in various embodiments. Particularly widespread are those devices in which the human is relieved by locking the lower limbs head down. Furthermore, methods are known in which the discharge can be carried out in a horizontal storage. In this case, a well-measured tensile load is realized by means of an electric motor.

In a variety of the inventions, it is necessary for a medical professional to perform the treatment.

Developments that can be handled by the user alone are often very expensive, require a relatively large amount of space and are mostly localized. A common shortcoming is that most of the extension devices relieve only certain areas of the spine.

The complicated structure and high cost of previous developments complicates the possibilities of application in the medical or sports field. For reasons of health maintenance and therapy, however, an improvement of the relief design should be aimed at.

Object of the invention

The aim of the invention is to provide a relief device which is easy to build, can be handled by the user without assistance and has no locality.

With the device targeted and metered relief measures on the spine - and individual sections can be made. An exception is the cervical spine, which is ignored.

The aim is to contribute with the device to improve the relief design in the medical and sports field. It is also possible to extend the use to the home, where then the smaller version of the device could be used.

Explanation of the essence of the invention

The object of the invention is to make an extension device so that it consists of only a few parts, can be assembled and disassembled by the layman himself, on each commercial turn bench or an adequate board can be attached and has no locality.

According to the invention the object is achieved by a device having the following structure:

On a commercial turn bench (adequate board) three support segments are attached. The headboard is fixed by small screw clamps firmly on the bench and is provided with straps that have Velcro fasteners.

The two other segments are mounted on rollers, thus allowing a change of location on the bench. By small rollers the leadership is realized on the bench. A lateral tilting during use is avoided by tilting.

Velcro cuffs are located at the lower lateral edge of the carriages and the headboard. They are equipped on both sides with Velcro material and by their special arrangement the following positioning possibilities can be realized:

- Release the interconnected carriages from the headboard - it is the upper thoracic spine relaxed;

- Connection of headboard and small roller / large roller is solved-it is primarily relieved the lumbar spine;

- Release the rolling segments from each other and from the headboard - from the middle upper thoracic spine Relief of the spine overall.

An adjustable stopper, which is locked like the head with small screw clamps, limits the taxiway of the carriage, so that the user can leave the extension device without effort after relief.

Due to the simple structure and the uncomplicated operation, the device represents an enrichment for the area of the spine relief.

The application is not limited to the medical / sports sector, as it is also possible to use it at home.

embodiment

The invention will be explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment:

The figure shows an inventive extension device to relieve the spine.

As part of a support surface for a person is a head part (1), which is provided with straps (2). The straps are adjustable by means of Velcro. All listed parts can be attached to a commercial turn bench (10). The headboard is attached to the bench with small screw clamps (3) and performs the function of locking the shoulder belt. Furthermore, two mobile rolling carriages (5, 6) serve to receive and locate the upper body as well as the lower extremities. To lock the hip or chest - depending on the desired relief - serve transversely mounted on the carriages straps (9), which are provided with Velcro. The carriages are equipped with large, transversely mounted rollers (4), which allow movement of the carriages. The attached on the side of small rollers (4) serve to guide the carriage on the turntable. In order to prevent tilting of the slide completely, adjustable anti-tippers (8) were attached. It is angled material, which can be screwed and adjusted by a thread.

At the lower lateral edge of the head part (1) and the small and large roller carriage (5.6) Velcro cuffs (7) are attached on both sides, which allow a release of the carriage from each other and from the headboard.

After performing relaxation sliding of the carriages is prevented by a stopper (11). The stopper is locked by small clamps (3) and can be easily adjusted.

The entire device is disassembled:

- 1 turn bench or stable board;

- 1 headboard;

- 2 carriages;

- 1 stopper;

- 6 small screw clamps.

Claims (4)

1. A method for targeted and differentiated discharge of individual sections of the spine, characterized in that with only one device, the intended effects can be achieved. 2. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that the user can independently fix either to be relieved spinal column sections, by means of locking and release mechanisms of the segments. 3. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that the downgrade force and the weight of the lower extremities of the user serve as a tensile force, wherein independently the tensile force can be modified by changing the Ansteckwinkels. 4. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that individual body regions are fixed by means of cross straps and a forearm suspension.
