Definitions

  • the invention is directed to an inflatable or inflated seat cushion made of flexible material with several (primarily two) chambers arranged next to one another and communicating with one another.
  • the invention is based on the fact that inflatable seat cushions of various types and designs are already known, but which, regardless of the material-related beaded shape of their chambers, generally place value on a flat seating surface parallel to the base. With these seat cushions, the most important thing is padding against a hard surface and protective shielding against damp and / or cold contact surfaces for the seat cushion.
  • the invention is directed to the formation of a seat cushion designed according to medical orthopedic aspects for the prevention and treatment of poor posture and postural damage, taking into account essential newly-recognized relationships that have so far been neglected in the relevant scientific studies.
  • the starting point of the considerations is the fact that after long-lasting walking the symptoms of fatigue do not occur, which, in conventional sitting, require support of the spine to relieve the strain after a relatively short time.
  • rhythmic walking process shows that the unstable equilibrium can be stabilized without great effort by shifting the center of gravity by means of compensatory movements in the lower pelvic and lumbar region. Due to the largely rigid fixation in the conventional way of sitting, this relieving movement is considerably restricted and "unnatural" movement patterns, incorrect postures and the resulting incorrect loads are forced. Painful tension in the shoulder, neck, lumbar, pelvic and hip region with damage to the muscles and ligaments that cause structural disorders,
  • the invention provides in a seat cushion of the type mentioned that the height of the chambers decreases from the back to the front. This results in an inclined surface as a tangential plane which forms an inclination angle of 20-30 ° with the horizontal plane when the seat cushion is filled to the maximum with an optimal design.
  • the length of the seat cushion should be more than twice the distance between the humps, but not exceed the maximum pelvic diameter when viewed from the front.
  • the width (z + v in FIG. 2) of the seat cushion should also not exceed this value in order to facilitate dorso-ventral tilting and sliding movements between the desired border areas. It follows from this that appropriately small seat cushions should be used in children.
  • the raised rear chamber favors the desired pelvic position.
  • the groove serves as a particularly suitable turning area, which, in contrast to the rigid seat surface, allows the pelvis to tilt, stand up and sideways, as well as the associated changes in position of the spine and center of gravity, without hindrance and without great effort.
  • the parallel displaceability can be increased by increasing the chambers and / or increasing the web useful for groove formation, which can additionally be interrupted vertically several times to increase the lateral displaceability.
  • the previously mentioned movement options can be used when using two superimposed, non-communicating, but coupled chamber systems of similar structure, i.e. in the simplest case with superimposition 'and coupling of two seat cushions according to the invention, the size ratios of which are adapted to the doubled total height with the same basic principles in their own configuration. In this context, the possibility of different filling of the two chamber systems also comes into play.
  • the load Due to the free movement in the pelvic and lumbar region around the rest starting position, the load can be permanently shifted as when walking upright, so that there is no permanent damage and the associated signs of fatigue, which generally require the back to be supported when sitting conventionally. Of course, there is no need to do without them if they also take a back seat due to the strengthening of the spinal and core muscles.
  • the continuous shifting of the load points which occurs through minimal movement impulses, promotes circulation and metabolism in the intervertebral disc tissue through the suction and pumping action that occurs and also counteracts degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs.
  • the movement play achievable with the seat cushion according to the invention is in view of the extent of the movement and the Easier to carry out movement impulses greater than when walking.
  • the associated greater instability of the equilibrium position when sitting brings further advantages.
  • counter impulses occur early to prevent tipping over, which restore the ideal starting position with little effort, thereby avoiding the long-term poor or unfavorable posture, as is the case with conventional sitting on a rigid seat surface, but also on the hitherto developed and common seat cushion is the rule.
  • An existing false statics or pathological curvature of the spine is consistently counteracted with a seat cushion of the type according to the invention. Large leverage with harmful compression and shear effects between the vertebrae are avoided, favorable movement patterns are permanently impressed.
  • the seat cushion according to the invention is able to make a significant contribution to the prevention and treatment of damage to the spine and joints as a result of recurrent incorrect loads and forced postures in the conventional sitting position, which favors unnatural and damaging movements, above all due to the rigid fixation of the pelvis.
  • not only the chamber height, but also the width of the chambers decreases from the back to the front, two or more chambers being arranged next to one another and forming the seat cushion.
  • the bevelling of the seat surface always leads the user to the desired ideal sitting position, in which the seat bumps are located in the notch between two adjacent chambers.
  • the version with two chambers with favorable torques and immediate redistribution of the air filling in both chambers with a shift in the center of gravity offers maximum freedom of movement in the desired sense.
  • the chambers are arranged in parallel next to each other.
  • Another alternative provides that the chambers are arranged around one another in a U-shape with the U opening facing forward and their diameter decreases towards the front. In the latter case, there is less room for maneuver in the lower pelvic region, and especially the movement impulses directed to the side experience centering towards the center.
  • Another embodiment of the invention is characterized in that two or more individual seat cushions are arranged one above the other and connected to one another, which do not communicate with one another.
  • these individual cushions are constructed like the seat cushions, but are only arranged one above the other, the combination solution obeying the same principles sought, for which purpose corresponding modifications are also possible, particularly with regard to the overall height.
  • the seat cushion in a further embodiment, it is not to see the seat cushion as a loose and independent object, but rather as an integral part of a piece of seating furniture, to which it can be assigned as a loose cushion cover or can also be connected firmly, optionally releasably. However, this does not change the basic principle of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows the desired sitting position with the aid of the seat cushion 3 according to the invention resting on the seat 1 of a chair 2.
  • this seat cushion 3 consists of two chambers 4 u. 5, which communicate with each other and a valve for inflation with a in a known manner Gas, generally with air.
  • the different degree of filling of the two chambers 4 and 5 has an influence on the range of motion and pelvic position.
  • the two chambers 4 and 5 communicate with each other.
  • the rear chamber 4 has a length v and a maximum height w. This decreases to the front of the seat cushion 3, ie in the direction of the adjacent chamber 5 to the lower height x, which is slightly exceeded by the greatest height of the front chamber 5, the height of which decreases towards the front to the dimension y.
  • the height x is in the unloaded, fully inflated state of the seat cushion in the current version - as is generally the case - limited by the height of a web connecting the transverse groove on the top and bottom, which can have several vertical interruptions.
  • the length z of the front chamber 5 is less than the length v of the rear chamber 4, which is also higher.
  • the seating surface 6 forms, as it were, an inclined plane, which, however, has the transverse groove 7 separating the two chambers 4 and 5. Possibly.
  • the chambers 4 and 5 can also have one or more longitudinal grooves 8, which are indicated to a greater or lesser degree and which, since they are only alternative, are only indicated by dashed lines.
  • the chambers 4 and 5 in the cushion according to FIG. 3 have a generally U-shaped course with a forward-facing U-opening.
  • the outer chamber 4 is again higher towards the rear and towards the outside, and its height decreases steadily towards the front, ie towards the front or inner chamber 5.
  • the width v of the rear chamber 4 is larger than the width z of the front or inner chamber 5.
  • the chamber 4 is guided in an arc around the chamber 5, FIG.
  • the space 11 within the U-shaped chamber 5 can only be covered by a material web. However, it can also consist of a further chamber 12, which in turn is lower than the adjacent chamber 5. This is shown in FIG. 4. 9 denotes the web wall for dividing the individual chambers, while 14 openings are indicated, which enable communicating air exchange between the chambers. Instead of the web wall 9, the top layer and base layer of the cushion could of course also be directly connected to one another by a weld seam that does not extend over the entire width.
