Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a back support device, and in particular, to a back support for supporting the lower back region of a person in a seated position, combined with an integrally formed carrying case.
  • the present invention represents an improvement over the known prior art by providing a back support combined with an integral carrying case to facilitate carrying of the device when used for various activities as described hereinabove.
  • the outer periphery support member is provided with a suitable fastener, preferrably in the form of a zipper, which permits the support to be folded back upon itself, and secured in that position forming a case structured to receive the knee-engaging straps.
  • Handles are provided, secured to the ends of the back support member, to facilitate carrying the device when the case is in the closed position.
  • the back support includes a buckle to maintain the straps together to hold the knees of the user in a more comfortable position for creating a supporting force on the lower back of the user.
  • Another feature includes a retainer strap for retaining the back support on the back of the user in a non-use position.
  • a back support device which can be folded into an integrally formed carrying case when not in use.
  • the back support and integral carrying case 10 of the present invention is shown in the open position in Figure 2 and includes a back support member 12 having an elongated and generally rectangular shape.
  • the outer periphery of the support member 12 is provided with a suitable closure fastener 14 which, in the preferred embodiment, would be a zipper or similar mechanical closure.
  • the support member 12 may be cushioned or padded and/or reinforced thus providing sufficient strength to support the wearer's lower back in use.
  • the back support 10 is provided with a pair of elongated straps 16 and 18 which are integrally attached to the support member 12 at respective ends 20 and 22.
  • the straps 16 and 18 form elongated loops and include buckle members 24 and 26 which permit adjustment of the length of each of the loops and which also provide a closure for securing the loops in their operative position.
  • the straps may extend within the interior layers of the back support member 12 connecting each of the strap components 16 and 18 together. lt will also be appreciated that the ends of each of the straps may terminate at the ends 20 and 22 of the back support member 12 as long as the mechanical connection between the straps and the support member is of sufficient strength to withstand the forces subjected to it during use.
  • Handle members 28 and 29 are provided to carry the support when it is folded upon itself to form the integral carrying case as shown in Figure 1. In the closed position, the straps 16 and 18 are maintained within the case formed by the back support member 12.
  • the straps 16 and 18 are also provided with knee pads 36 and 38 which lessen the strain on the user's knees, permitting him to exert sufficient force on the support member 12 to hold the back in a supported position.
  • the back support 10 also includes a retainer strap 40 which is adapted to encircle the torso of a user and to be secured in place by a suitable means such as a buckle 42 so that the back support may be worn on the user without the necessity of having the elongated straps looped over the knees to maintain the support in place. Whereas this does not provide any supporting function, it eliminates the need for repositioning the support each time that it is used and facilitates carrying the back support without the need of a separate carrying case or without continuously holding the item.
  • a user is shown wearing the back support.
  • the support member 12 is fit against the lumbar portion of the back, and straps 16 and 18 are looped over the knees with the user in a seated position.
  • the buckle 30 keeps the knees of the user together. Force, exerted by the knees, pulls the support member against the lumbar region of the wearer's back to provide suitable support.
  • the straps are folded into the integrally formed carrying case as described hereinabove.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the back support in a non-use position where the retainer strap 40 maintains the strap in the proper position.
