Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Wirbeldehnpolster zur passiven Entlastung der Wirbelsäule.The invention relates to a spinal cushion for passive relief of the spine.
Es ist ein bekanntes Prinzip in der physikalischen Therapie, die Lage des Körpers oder einzelner Teile davon durch Aufpumpen flexibler Hohlkörper zu verändern. So existieren seit langem sog. Anti-Decubitus-Matratzen, die durch abschnittsweises Aufblasen von Druckkammern bestimmte Körperbereiche be- und andere entlasten.It is a well known principle in physical therapy, the location of the body or to change individual parts of it by inflating flexible hollow bodies. So Anti-decubitus mattresses have existed for a long time Inflation of pressure chambers load certain areas of the body and relieve others.
Auch existiert ein Massagesessel, der über eine Vielzahl eingebauter Blähkissen verfügt, die programmgesteuert mit Druck beaufschlagt werden können und sich dann gegen den Körper des Benutzers pressen.There is also a massage chair that has a large number of inflatable pillows that can be programmatically pressurized and then press against the body of the user.
Die beiden beschriebenen Apparaturen sind aber für die isolierte Druckbehandlung umschriebener Bereiche z. B. am Rücken zu groß, zu umständlich und auch zu teuer.However, the two devices described are for isolated pressure treatment circumscribed areas z. B. too big on the back, too cumbersome and also too expensive.
Die Erfindung stellt sich deshalb die Aufgabe, das Prinzip der druckfluid-vermittelten Dehnung in einem kleinen, kompakten und kostengünstigen Gerät für den Laien in angenehmer Weise anwend- und nutzbar zu machen.The invention therefore has as its object the principle of pressure fluid-mediated Stretching in a small, compact and inexpensive device for the layperson in to make it convenient to use and use.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Kennzeichen des Hauptanspruchs dazu angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This task is indicated in the characterizing part of the main claim Features resolved.
Das erfindungsgemäße Wirbeldehnpolster ist maximal 400 × 400 mm groß, vorzugs weise misst es 400 × 130 mm. Es ist durch seine Außenkontur und/oder entsprechende Abnäher/Abschweißungen so konstruiert, dass es sich an die Rundungen von Rumpf oder Extremitäten, insbesondere im aufgeblasenen Zustand, gut anpasst.The vortex expansion pad according to the invention is a maximum of 400 × 400 mm, preferably it measures 400 × 130 mm. It is through its outer contour and / or corresponding Darts / welds constructed so that they conform to the curves of the fuselage or extremities, especially when inflated.
Für die spezielle Anwendung am Rücken gibt es eine bevorzugte Ausführung in länglich-gestreckter Bauform mit zwei in regelmäßigem Abstand vorgesehenen Einschnürungen. Es entsteht in der Draufsicht das Bild einer doppelten Acht. Die drei resultierenden Vorwölbungen sind maßlich so zueinander angeordnet, dass in den beiden dazwischenliegenden Einschnürungen gerade die Muskelwülste des Rücken streckers (Musculus erector spinae) Platz finden. Damit ist während des Aufpump vorganges ein perfektes Anschmiegen des Wirbeldehnpolsters an die Rückenkontur zu erzielen.There is a preferred version in for the special application on the back elongated design with two provided at regular intervals Constrictions. The image of a double eight is created in the top view. The three resulting protrusions are dimensionally arranged so that in the the two muscular constrictions between the back muscles strecker (Muscle erector spinae) find a place. So that is during inflation a perfect fit of the spine expansion pad against the back contour achieve.
Beim weiteren Aufpumpen bis zur maximalen Füllung neigen sich die beiden äußeren Vorwölbungen Richtung Mitte und üben auf die Rückenmuskulatur zusätzlich einen sanften seitlichen Druck aus. Dies insbesondere dann, wenn entweder entsprechende Abschweißungen im Bereich der Einschnürungen vorgesehen sind oder die untere Folie härter ist als die obere.When inflating further up to the maximum filling, the two outer ones incline Bulges towards the middle and additionally practice one on the back muscles gentle side pressure. This is especially true if either Weldings are provided in the area of the constrictions or the lower film is harder than the top one.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung besteht die komplette Behandlungs einheit aus Wirbeldehnpolster, angeschlossenem Schlauch und Druckluftaggregat, das auch als Druck-/Saug-Aggregat ausgebildet werden kann. An diesem stationären Gerät könnte der Benutzer manuell zwischen "Druck" und "Saugen" umsteuern und so ein stetiges Heben und Senken des Wirbeldehnpolsters erreichen. Denselben Effekt zeitigt ein Ventil, das z. B. im Verlauf des Schlauches gut erreichbar für den Benutzer eingebaut ist und eine Verbindung vom Druck-/Saugraum zur Außenluft herstellt. Damit kann der Druck innerhalb weniger Sekunden abgelassen werden. Nach Schließen (Loslassen) des Ventils füllt sich bei weiterlaufendem Druckluftaggregat das Wirbel dehnpolster erneut. Weitere Ausführungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen niedergelegt, die sich insbesondere mit der Frage beschäftigen, wie das Wirbeldehn polster bequem unter dem Körper positioniert werden kann. Wird es z. B. in der Bade wanne eingesetzt, sollte der dann entstehende störende Auftrieb durch Beschwerungs elemente, z. B. Kieselsteine passender Größe und ausreichender Anzahl, antagonisiert werden. Die höckrige Oberfläche der eingefüllten Kiesel erbringt einen weiteren durchaus erwünschten Massageeffekt.In a preferred embodiment of the invention there is complete treatment unit consisting of swirl expansion pad, connected hose and compressed air unit, the can also be designed as a pressure / suction unit. On this stationary device the user could manually switch between "pressure" and "suction" and so on achieve constant lifting and lowering of the spine expansion pad. The same effect occurs a valve that e.g. B. easily accessible for the user in the course of the hose is installed and creates a connection from the pressure / suction room to the outside air. In order to the pressure can be released within a few seconds. After closing (Release) the valve fills the vortex as the compressed air unit continues to run expansion pad again. Further embodiments of the invention are in the subclaims laid down, which deal in particular with the question of how the spine stretching cushion can be positioned comfortably under the body. Is it z. B. in the bath tub used, the resulting disruptive buoyancy due to weighting elements, e.g. B. pebbles of appropriate size and sufficient number, antagonized become. The humped surface of the filled pebbles provides another quite desired massage effect.
Mit Hilfe von Gürteln, Dirigierzügeln und/oder starren Dirigierstäben kann die Lage des Wirbeldehnpolsters relativ zum Körper auf bequeme Weise stabilisiert bzw. verändert werden. Demselben Zweck können für die spezielle Anwendung in der Badewanne entsprechend an der Unterseite angebrachte Sauger dienen.With the help of belts, conductor reins and / or rigid conductor rods, the position of the Spinal cushion is stabilized or changed in a comfortable way relative to the body become. The same purpose can be used for the special application in the bathtub serve suction cups attached to the underside.
Einige Worte zum Nutzen des Wirbeldehnpolsters. Es bewirkt beim allmählichen
Aufblasen/Ausdehnen eine Nach-oben-Bewegung des darüberliegenden Wirbelsäulen
abschnitts. Da der Körper nicht im Ganzen angehoben wird (außer möglicherweise bei
hohem Wasserstand in der Badewanne), resultiert eine Durchbiegung der Wirbelsäule
nach hinten, eine sog. Lordosierung. Diese vorübergehende Lordosierung ist aus
mehreren Gründen erwünscht:
A few words about the benefits of the spine expansion pad. During gradual inflation / expansion, it causes an upward movement of the spine section above. Since the body is not lifted as a whole (except possibly in the case of a high water level in the bathtub), the spine bends backwards, so-called lordosis. This temporary lordosis is desirable for several reasons:
- 1. Da der Drehpunkt bei der Verdrehung der Wirbelsegmente gegeneinander ziemlich weit hinten im Bereich der kleinen Wirbelgelenke liegt, wird der Zwischen-Wirbelraum, der von den Bandscheiben eingenommen wird, passiv aufgedehnt. Durch den entstehenden Unterdruck wird das Bandscheibengewebe entlastet, nährstoff- und sauerstoffreiche Flüssigkeit können einströmen. Wenn sich Aufblasen und Ablassen der Druckluft abwechseln, hebt und senkt sich auch das Wirbelsegment. Wenn beim Aufblasen der Bandscheibeninnendruck sinkt, so steigt er beim Ablassen wieder an. Auch dies ist erwünscht, weil dadurch verbrauchte, d. h. nährstoff- und sauerstoffarme Flüssigkeit wieder aus dem Bandscheibengewebe ausgepresst wird. So wird Platz geschaffen für die Aufnahme frischer Gewebsflüssigkeit.1. Because the fulcrum in the rotation of the vertebral segments against each other is located quite far back in the area of the small vertebral joints Passive intervertebral space, which is occupied by the intervertebral discs stretched. Due to the resulting negative pressure, the intervertebral disc tissue becomes Relieved, nutrient and oxygen-rich liquid can flow in. If alternating between inflating and deflating the compressed air also rises and falls the vertebral segment. If the intervertebral disc pressure drops when inflating, so it rises again when you lower it. This is also desirable because it does used up, d. H. nutrient and oxygen deficient liquid from the Intervertebral disc tissue is squeezed out. This creates space for them Ingestion of fresh tissue fluid.
- 2. Auch die sog. Zwischenwirbellöcher, durch die die Nerven nach seitwärts austreten, liegen vor dem o. beschriebenen Wirbelgelenk-Drehpunkt, so dass auch sie sich zumindest tendenziell vergrößern. Die unter Druck stehenden und gereizten Nerven kommen wenigstens für ein paar Sekunden frei, was aber ausreicht, um die Durchblutungssituation dort entscheidend zu verbessern und die Regenerationsvorgänge einzuleiten.2. Also the so-called intervertebral holes through which the nerves move sideways emerge, are in front of the vertebral pivot described above, so that they also tend to enlarge at least. The pressurized and irritated nerves are released for at least a few seconds, but what sufficient to decisively improve the blood circulation situation there and initiate the regeneration processes.
Wird ein Kompressor als Druckluftaggregat eingesetzt, so übertragen sich dessen Schwingungen/Impulse durch die Luftsäule in das Wirbeldehnpolster und erzeugen dort eine sanfte, feinschlägige Massage. Diese Vibrationen dringen bekanntlich recht tief ins Gewebe ein und führen zusätzlich zu einer muskulären Lockerung.If a compressor is used as a compressed air unit, it is transferred Vibrations / impulses through the air column into the spinal cushion and generate there a gentle, delicate massage. As is well known, these vibrations penetrate quite deeply Tissue and also lead to muscular loosening.
50% aller Krankschreibungen und Frühberentungen erfolgen wegen Rückenleiden. Ein kompaktes und preiswertes sowie einfach und bequem anwendbares Gerät für die fast ursächlich zu nennende Behandlung von wirbelsäulenbedingten Beschwerden hat damit am Markt sicher eine Daseinsberechtigung. 50% of all sick leave and early retirement are due to back problems. On compact and inexpensive as well as simple and convenient to use device for the almost treatment of complaints caused by the spine, which is the cause therefore a reason to exist on the market.
Abschließend soll die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung, Fig. 1 bis 6, erläutert werden.Finally, the invention will be explained with reference to the drawing, Fig. 1 to 6.
In der Draufsicht von Fig. 1 erkennt man die Einschnürungen 1c des Polsters 1, das über den Anschluss 2 einen Schlauch 3 aufnimmt. Mit 1a ist die randseits umlaufende Naht bezeichnet. Fig. 2 und 3 sind Schnittbilder von Fig. 1 längs der Linie A-B, einmal in leerem, einmal in aufgepumptem Zustand. Erkennbar wird hier der von der nach innen geschlagenen Naht 1a umschlossene Druckraum 1b. Besonders deutlich sieht man in Fig. 3 die Einschnürungen 1c, die sich zwischen den drei Vorwölbungen beim Aufpumpen bilden.In the plan view of Fig. 1 one recognizes the constrictions 1 c of the pad 1, which accommodates a hose 3 via the terminal 2. With 1 a the peripheral seam is designated. Fig. 2 and 3 are sectional views of FIG. 1 along the line AB, even when empty, even in the inflated state. The pressure chamber 1 b enclosed by the seam 1 a turned inward can be seen here. The constrictions 1 c, which form between the three protrusions during inflation, can be seen particularly clearly in FIG. 3.
Fig. 4 verdeutlicht die Beziehung des aufgepumpten Polsters 1 zum menschlichen Rücken, hier im Schnittbild mit der Rückenkontur 4 dargestellt, an die sich das Polster anschmiegt. Mit den nach oben gerichteten Pfeilen soll der Druck, den das Wirbeldehn polster auf Muskulatur und Wirbelkörper 5 ausübt, versinnbildlicht werden. Angedeutet ist auch die dem Wirbelkörper aufgelagert zu denkende Bandscheibe 6. Während die mittlere Vorwölbung vorwiegend der Anhebung des Wirbelsegmentes und der Band scheibendehnung dient (s. o.), nehmen die beiden äußeren Vorwölbungen die Rückenstreckmuskulatur "in die Zange". Fig. 4 illustrates the relationship of the inflated cushion 1 to the human back, shown here in a sectional view with the back contour 4 to which the cushion clings. The arrows pointing upwards are intended to symbolize the pressure that the vertebral expansion pad exerts on the muscles and vertebral body 5 . Also indicated is the intervertebral disc 6 to be thought of as being supported on the vertebra While the middle protrusion mainly serves to raise the vertebral segment and the intervertebral disc stretch (see above), the two outer protrusions "pull the back muscles in".
Fig. 5 und 6 zeigen die passive Ausdehnung der Wirbelsäule mit Wirbelkörpern 5 und Bandscheiben 6 durch Aufpumpen des Wirbeldehnpolsters 1. Mit den Doppelpfeilen über den Bandscheiben soll auf die Dehnung des Zwischenwirbelraumes und die daraus resultierende Druckentlastung für die Bandscheiben 6 hingewiesen werden. FIGS. 5 and 6 show the passive extension of the spinal column with 5 vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs 6 by inflating the Wirbeldehnpolsters. 1 The double arrows above the intervertebral discs are used to indicate the expansion of the intervertebral space and the resulting pressure relief for the intervertebral discs 6 .
