Abstract

The seat (1) is in the form of an elongated, eccentric lengthwise cylinder section. The seat element may be supplemented by a base (2) consisting of two shorter eccentric lengthwise cylinder sections. The two curved surfaces point towards each other and are joined in the middle by an elastic peg (3) in the form of a spiral spring, taut rubber or flexible plastics pin. The seat element can be joined to the base by a simple removable wooden peg (4). Shims of varying thickness enable the height of the stool to be individually varied.

Description

Bei den bisher im Handel erhältlichen Meditations-Sitzhilfen handelt es sich um sehr einfache Mittel, wie Kissen, Polster, Schemel, Klötze, u.ä.The meditation seating aids that were previously commercially available are very simple Agents such as pillows, upholstery, stools, blocks, etc.

Für die meisten Westeuropäer ist es jedoch auch unter Zuhilfenahme genannter Hilfsmittel eher schwierig, zu einer entspannten, offenen Sitzhaltung zu finden, in der die Pole: Aktivität und Ruhe, Stabilität und Lebendigkeit gleichermaßen und in ausgeglichenem Verhältnis ihren Ausdruck finden.For most Western Europeans, however, it is also with the aid of the aids mentioned rather difficult to find a relaxed, open sitting position in which the pole: activity and calm, stability and vitality in equal measure and in a balanced relationship Find expression.

Verspannungen und Schmerzen entlang der Wirbelsäule sind für viele (und nicht nur für meditierende) Menschen ein wohlbekanntes Problem.Tension and pain along the spine are for many (and not just for) meditating) people a well-known problem.

Die in den Schutzansprüchen beschriebene Erfindung soll hier Abhilfe schaffen, indem sie dem Körper wohltuende, entspannende Sitzhaltungen ermöglicht und zu einem Spiel zwischen Statik und Dynamik anregt.The invention described in the claims is intended to remedy this situation by the Soothing, relaxing body postures and a game between Stimulates statics and dynamics.

Dies wird erreicht durch die Schutzansprüche 1 bis 5.This is achieved through protection claims 1 to 5.

Im Falle der kombinierten Anwendung dieser Elemente wird der Meditationsschemel derart benützt, daß man rittlings auf der nach oben gewölbten Fläche des Sitzelements sitzt, im sogenannten Fersensitz. Der unter Schutzanspruch 2 beschriebene Unterbau ermöglicht nun - je nach Ausrichtung seiner beiden gewölbten Flächen zueinander - unterschiedliche Bewegungsspielräume:
entweder eine Kippung der Sitzfläche (und damit des Beckens) in 2 Richtungen (nach vorne und hinten), oder Kippung in alle Richtungen.
In the case of the combined use of these elements, the meditation stool is used in such a way that one sits astride the surface of the seat element that is curved upwards, in the so-called heel seat. The substructure described under claim 2 now allows - depending on the alignment of its two curved surfaces to each other - different freedom of movement:
either a tilt of the seat (and thus the pelvis) in 2 directions (forwards and backwards), or tilt in all directions.

Von humananatomisch besonders großem Wert ist dabei die Kippung nach hinten-unten und seitlich-hinten-unten, weil dadurch eine Dehnung und Verlängerung des unteren Teils des Rückens in der Gegend der Lendenwirbelsäule erreicht wird. Gerade dieser Bereich ist bei sehr vielen Menschen in Westeuropa stark beeinträchtigt. Eine Dehnung und Entspannung dieses unteren Rückenabschnittes hat automatisch lösende Auswirkung auf die oberen Bereiche der Wirbelsäule.The tipping backwards and downwards is of particularly great human anatomical value sideways-back-down, because this causes an expansion and extension of the lower part of the Back is reached in the area of the lumbar spine. This area is particularly important  very badly affected many people in Western Europe. A stretch and relaxation this lower back section has an automatically releasing effect on the upper Areas of the spine.

Der elastische Dübel (4), der die beiden Elemente des Unterbaus miteinander verbindet, regt durch seine sanfte Tendenz zur Mittelstellung den Körper zum "Spiel mit den Möglichkeiten" an. Eine dynamische Suche nach optimaler Statik setzt ein.The elastic dowel ( 4 ), which connects the two elements of the substructure, stimulates the body to "play with the possibilities" due to its gentle tendency towards the middle position. A dynamic search for optimal statics begins.

Durch Hinzunahme diverser quadratischer Beilegscheiben ist der Schemel in der Höhe variierbar. Mithilfe eines Untergestells kann er auch auf Stuhlhöhe gebracht werden.By adding various square washers, the stool is high variable. With the help of a base, it can also be brought up to chair height.
