Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hanging device for relieving the spine of a person.
  • the relief should generally ensure that displaced intervertebral discs can move back into the correct position in the intervertebral spaces more easily.
  • the relief also serves to relax the back muscles.
  • the simplest hanging device consists of a bar or other gripping device which is arranged above the floor so that the person no longer touches the floor with his legs when he holds on to the bar.
  • Other hangers work with weights.
  • Such a device is known from DE-OS 25 55 487.
  • a rope runs over two pulleys to be attached to the ceiling, at one end of which a hanging device is attached, into which the head can be hung.
  • At the other end there is a weight or the person to be treated pulls the free end down with his hands. Only small forces can be exerted when pulling with the hands; in addition, the person to be treated tired quickly due to the exertion of the force.
  • One advantage is that an alternating force is exerted. Using a weight, however, stronger forces can be exerted, which can be so high that the person to be operated is almost completely relieved. Fatigue does not occur. However, there is the disadvantage that only a constant force can be exerted.
  • the hanging device according to the invention for relieving the spine of a person has a rocker plate, the movement of which is transmitted via a force transmission device to a deflection device and from this to a hanging device for hanging the head or arms.
  • the device according to the invention is extremely simple in construction, and yet it allows dynamic relief of the spine with constant changes in forces, which also contributes to loosening the back muscles.
  • the loosening is supported by the fact that when the heels are stressed, the rear leg muscles are stretched and at the same time the hanging device stretches the back muscles.
  • the rear leg muscles are tightened and the back muscles are in the unstretched state.
  • the extent of the relief in the equilibrium state depends on the structure of the deflection device and on the lever ratios on the rocker plate.
  • the lever ratio on the rocker plate is adjustable on the one hand by the person to be treated coming closer to the axis of rotation of the rocker plate or, conversely, stepping further away from it.
  • the ratio can be set when the rocker plate has a plurality of suspension parts, which are at different distances from the axis of rotation and into which the power transmission device can be suspended.
  • the degree of relief can be varied on the deflection device either by choosing a pulley block or a direct transmission, or by using a beam that can be suspended at different suspension points, which results in different leverage ratios in relation to the forces from the power transmission device and let the hooking device be adjusted.
  • the rope is designed as a chain, at least in the area of the end to which it is connected to the seesaw plate, and that the suspension parts already mentioned are designed as hooks on the seesaw plate.
  • the rope can then be suspended in a chain link selected in such a way that the height of the suspension device above the seesaw plate corresponds to the size of the person to be treated.
  • rope is used in this application as an umbrella term for an elongated, flexible power transmission device, be it a rope in the usual sense or z.
  • the hanging device 10 has a rocker plate 11, a power transmission device designed as a rope 12, a bar 15 suspended from the ceiling 14 of a room by means of a hanging device 13 and a hanging device 16 which is connected to the bar 15 via a connecting part 17 .
  • the rocker plate 11 has at its one end a support strip 18 tapering towards the bottom.
  • the line along which the support bar 18 rests on the floor 27 of the room in which the hanging device 10 is fastened forms the axis of rotation 19 of the rocker plate 11.
  • At the other end of the rocker plate there is a hanging part 20.1 on the top thereof, into which the rope 12 is mounted.
  • the upper end of the rope 12 is suspended in a corresponding suspension part 20.2 at one end of the beam 15.
  • the beam 15 has several suspension parts 21 on its upper side.
  • the suspension device 13 is suspended in one of these suspension parts 21 by means of a hook (not shown).
  • the other end of the suspension device 13 is suspended in a ceiling hook 22.
  • the suspension device 13 is advantageously a chain, which makes it possible to adjust the bar 15 at different heights above the floor 27 by appropriately hanging the chain.
  • the hanging device 16 is formed by a rod 23 and by two hanging loops 24.
  • the person to be treated 25 is passed through the hanging loops 24 with her arms ren and thus hooked with the armpits in the loops 24.
  • the connecting part 17 engaging the rod 23 is designed as a chain which is hooked into a hook 26 at that end of the beam 25 which lies opposite the end to which the cable 12 is fastened via the hooking part 20.2.
  • a greater relief can be achieved either by the person 25 stepping further away from the axis of rotation 19 in order to change the ratio a: b, as will be explained below in accordance with FIG. 2, or by the bar 15 being so reassigned that the ratio c: d becomes smaller. If the person is no longer standing with their toes above the axis of rotation 19 and then rocking back and forth between toe and heel load, there is relief in all movement states, but in an alternation between a larger value (standing on the heel) and a smaller value (Toe stand).
  • the force transmission device between the rocker 11 and the beam 15 does not necessarily have to be designed as a rope 12, but it can also be a rigid rod.
  • a hanging device 10 with a force transmission device designed as a rope 12 is easier to handle, since such a hanging device can be easily stowed in a small space and can be retrieved again and set up quickly if required. It is only necessary to hang the suspension device 13 in the ceiling hook 22 and the rocker plate 11 is to be placed on the floor in such a way that the vertical extension of the connecting part 17 hits the plate 11 between the axis of rotation 19 and the hanging part 20.1.
  • the hanging device 10 according to FIG. 2 also has a rocker plate 11, a power transmission device designed as a rope 12 and a hanging device 16.
  • the arrangement for deflecting the movement of the power transmission device downward into a movement of the hanging device 16 upwards is no more than bar 15 but designed as a deflection roller assembly 30.
  • This has a carrier 31, at the ends of which two deflection rollers 32 with mutually parallel axes of rotation are arranged.
  • the carrier 31 is suspended from a ceiling hook 22 via a suspension device 13 corresponding to the beam 15 according to FIG. 1.
  • the rope 12 is deflected. With its free end it is attached to the rod 23 of the suspension device 16.
  • the rocker plate 11 is rotatable at one end about an axis of rotation 19 which is mounted on the upper end of a bearing block 33 which is fixedly connected to the bottom 27.
  • the operator stands at a distance b from the axis of rotation 19 near the other, free end of the rocker plate 11. Near the axis of rotation 19, at a distance a therefrom, the cable 12 is fastened to one of several suspension parts 20.1 on the rocker plate 11.
  • the ratio a: b is 1: 9. This means that the person 25 with the already mentioned weight of 750 N in the state of equilibrium exerts a force of 75 N on the heel pressure point 28, while the suspension device takes over 16 675 N. The person is relieved very strongly.
  • the equilibrium value of the relief can also be changed in that the person approaches the axis of rotation 19 closer. You can e.g. B. put one foot a little further forward, but the other a little further back. If the foot closer to the axis of rotation 19 is then loaded, this leads to a less severe relief of the spine, and if the foot which is further away is loaded, this leads to greater relief.
  • a load change can also be achieved by changing between toe and heel load.
  • the lever of the force exerted by the body weight between the axis of rotation 19 and the suspension part 20.1 is continuously increased and decreased.
  • the equilibrium value can be changed in that the cable 12 is hooked into a suspension part 20.1 closer to or further from the axis of rotation 19.
  • FIG. 2 can, for. B. can be modified in that instead of the deflection roller arrangement 30 with two deflection rollers 32 only a single deflection roller is used. This gives a particularly simple structure, but the person must 25 then make sure that it is not hindered in its movement by the rope 12 between the rocker plate 11 and the deflection roller.
  • the setting of the height of the suspension device 16 above the rocker plate 11 can be easily adjusted in an arrangement with a deflecting roller arrangement according to FIG. 2 in that the cable 12 is suspended with a preselected length in a suspension part 20.1 on the rocker plate 11.
  • the extent of the relief in the case of equilibrium was set by the choice of leverage ratios.
  • the geometric arrangement according to FIG. 1 can again be used without difficulty, in which the person 25 is closer to the axis of rotation 19 than corresponds to the distance between the point of application of the rope 12 and the axis of rotation 19.
  • a rocker plate 11 can again be used with a support bar 18 that can be easily placed on the floor 27, so that the bearing block 33 is unnecessary, which in the geometry according to FIG. 2 has to absorb the upward force of the rope 12.
  • a hanging device 16 is shown with two hanging loops 24 for hanging the arms of a person 25.
  • the hanging device can also, for. B. be designed as chest harness or as a hanging device for the head.
