One-piece back and neck support insert for standard Motor vehicle seats

Description sheet 1. description

1. The aim of the invention is to make the properties, which are often disadvantageous and inadequate from a medical point of view, more series-produced Compensate for motor vehicle seats by installing an insert that is in one piece and over the area of the Backrest of the standard seat and the one attached to it standard neck support extends and is designed so that it is the position or posture of the spine of the vehicle occupant with anatomically correct sitting.

2. In view of the general motorization, many people spend a considerable amount of time sitting in a motor vehicle. The associated increased stress on the spine and back area, also with regard to the muscles, requires a design of the vehicle seat that prevents damage, especially during long journeys, and that is optimal Seating comfort guaranteed. The invention assumes that this goal is most likely achieved when the design of the seat is tailored to the position and course of the spine with anatomically correct sitting and this promotes, i.e. in particular a trimming of the lumbar lordosis, Breast kyphosis and cervical lordosis and at the same time creates enough lateral support to provide the aforementioned support can be carried out in the best possible way and have an impact.

3. Since this goal is given the design of the conventional standard vehicle seats can often not be achieved, should

be created by means of the invention compensation a specifically shaped one-piece seat insert.

4. This is placed on the backrest of the standard seat and attached to it with a strap that is attached to your central longitudinal axis (drawing 1, A - B) Vertical is drawn around the backrest of the standard seat. In addition, the insert is attached to its upper end (head end) on the standard seat, e.g. by means of one on the back attached elastic cover, the over the standard The headrest of the seat is pulled over, or by means of a lacing strap with which a lacing is attached to the standard Neck rest done. The lower end of the insert becomes tab-like inserted between the seat and the backrest of the standard seat.

5. The seat insert is made of elastic material that at the same time must guarantee a cushioning and a supporting function.

6. In the top view (drawing 1) the side edge line runs of the insert as a mirror image, based on the central longitudinal axis of the insert. The edge line shows 1m lower area of the Insert »for the lower back of the seated Person (below the shoulder blades) provided 1st, according to both rarely have a bulge. On these ropes 1st the insert is arched forwards, i.e. in the direction of travel, so that it is shaped like a shell in this area (see Drawing 4 * section I-K) to provide a lateral support in the Area above the waist of the seated person

Afford. In this area (limited upwards by the section line G-H, drawing 5) is located along the Central longitudinal axis a bulge-shaped elevation, the apex line Identical to the central longitudinal axis of the insert (dashed line in drawings 1 and 2 below the Section line G-H; the surface line of the one surrounding the elevation lower area is marked in drawing 2 by the dotted line).

7. In the continuation of the insert according to above, the outer edge lines of the center longitudinal axis approaching a mirror image in plan view asr in a curved indentation. This area is intended to accommodate the shoulder area or the cervical spine of the seated person. Here, a trough-shaped depression is provided along the central longitudinal axis - seen in section (drawing 5, section GH), the central longitudinal axis of the insert being identical to the line on which said depression

It has reached its greatest extent (= dashed line in drawing 2 above the section line G-H; the course of the area surrounding the depression is there by the dotted Line marked).

8. In the continuation upwards (head area) widens the insert again in plan view. In the side view (drawing 2) the insert is turned upwards at this point increasingly thicker for the purpose of cushioning the neck and securing the back of the head of the seated person. The one for admission The area provided for the back of the head is trough-shaped (drawing 5, top line).

9. In the longitudinal section along the central axis of the insert (drawing can be seen that the surface line of the insert on this Position according to the lumbar lordosis, breast kyphosis and cervical lordosis of the human spine with anatomically correct Sitting runs. That is, the surface line is undulating in the catfish that is above the waist seated person there is a bulge to the front (direction of travel), which takes the lumbar lordosis into account, then (1m chest-shoulder area) an indentation follows, which takes breast kyphosis into account and finally again nSCn CuSn SnSCiIi ι cpcPiu another AüSuChtüiiy fiäCii vöFTie (Direction of travel) follows the curvature of the cervical spine (cervical lordosis).

10. The insert can be made in different sizes.

11. This design of the insert offers a medical aspect numerous advantages:

a) Due to the bead-like elevation along the central longitudinal axis in the lower area of the insert, where the spine rests, they become deeper at this point than those on both sides the back muscles lying next to it are better supported.

b) The ones existing above along the central longitudinal axis

c) The special thickness of the neck or head padding at the upper end of the insert is used to bridge the Otherwise there is a gap between the standard neck rest and the back of the head of the seated person.

d) Due to the surface design adapted to the position or the course of the spine with anatomically correct sitting the insert is supported by the lumbar lordosis, Breast kyphosis and cervical lordosis. This relieves the pressure on the spine. Tension the back muscles are avoided.
