Abstract

Chair of Meditative Mobilization under the name of "Chair of Nation Health - National Safety From Master HORA" creates in a user a stability/anchoring support from three points— a pelvis and two feet. The chair is made to collect the attention of the person without tension. The user's active center of weight is stabilized with simultaneous strengthening of concentration of attention. Thus, new coordinates interconnection between the brain, body, and nervous system are consciously created; awakening of alive gravitational center of the person. In one embodiment, the back legs of the chair are raised above ground level by 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm) in comparision to a standard chair by initially manufacturing the back legs to the required fixed length. In another embodiment, integrated extension portions are fixedly attached to a lower portion of each back leg of an already existing chair, raising them above ground level by 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm).

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0005] A person can spend about 60% of his or her daily time in an immobile sitting pose in a chair. This can cause a decrease in the activity of body organs and/or the nervous system, resulting in weariness, poor attentiveness, poor posture (slouching), and compression of the inner organs, including the lungs. Any chair (e.g. , armchair, arm-less chair, bench, sofa, or the like) creates hypodynamia or physical inactivity. If one demands that someone should sit upright on a typical chair with a straight back, a firm and dense lower sacrum area, and with a stomach that is not falling out, this person may not be able to sit like that for a long time on a regular chair. Such a pose, after a short time, will lead to "attention fatigue," meaning the person will get exhausted quickly. On a conventional chair, an easily exhausted connection is created between a sitter's brain, body, and nervous system . Although, a person is supposedly resting when sitting on a conventional chair, he or she only rests for a short time before beginning to feel a different type of fatigue : he or she is aging because of an incorrectly organized state of rest.

[0006] Often, a person sits because he/she is tired of standing and would like to sit down to rest. This means a chair is needed for relaxation and can be manufactured for such a reason, even for employees for whom the chair is in a working environment. For example, a person working in a corporate environment may become tired on a conventional chair and feel the need to rest at work— on the same very chair that made that person tired. Concentration of attention goes down in such a conventional chair and a person involuntarily becomes less active on mental and physical levels.

[0007] A conventional chair forces the working individual to be in a resting position, which is the weakened bent back and diffused stability coordinates system of the lower sacrum region. The human center of gravity is misplaced in such an indistinct system of coordinates. This harms the concentration of attention and weakens breathing flow— the lungs become stiff. In this position, the stomach falls out and downwards. It means that such conventional chairs, unintentionally, do harm to the health of the worker who has little choice but to constantly sit on such a chair.

[0008] U.S. Pat. Appl. No. 2012/0125454 describes a chair where the seat angle is adjusted by means of a mechanism built into the structure of the chair and operated near the seat platform for parallel adjustment of the legs. However, no explanation is given for a user to select any particular leg position (i.e., the leg height can be adjusted simultaneously and randomly). A person in such a chair can get into a sitting position that can overstrain or increase weariness from different poses of a chair. The chair cannot reliably support the correct anchoring of the person which in turn activates system of stability coordinates which turns on the active center of weight in the person.

[0009] U.S. Patent No. 8, 118,366 describes a chair where the seat tilt angle can ranges from -4° to + 16° with respect to horizontal and has a shortened back rest with lockable height to support the vertebral column, installed at an angle of less than 90°. The seat tilt angle is regulated with help of a lockable device. However, no explanation is given for a user to select any particular seat angle. Thus, unhealthy positions are possible, such that this chair can cause a user to generate increased body tension— that is, the chair is not made for increase of concentration of attention, vision and entire body tone through continuous passive training. This chair is not made for activation and maintenance of active center of weight of the person or establishment of three points of support/anchoring stability.

[0010] U.S. Patent No. 7,722,119 describes a chair for assisting an elderly or weakened person to stand up from the chair by raising the seat. The chair tilt is regulated by pushing away from handles of sitting and from a foot step and a hidden axle behind the seat skirt. However, there is no specific fixed positioning of legs or seat angle in relationship to the ground surface. The chair cannot constantly support the correct anchoring of the person's active center of weight.

[0011] U.S. Patent No. 7,850,239 describes a chair having spring-actuated rear legs for tilting the chair seat forward or downward to minimize muscle strain as a person sits down or rises from the chair. However, as soon as a person sits, this chair becomes a typical chair with coequal front and back leg heights. No mechanism is provided to hold the seat angle at a constant, non-parallel position with respect to a level surface (i.e., the floor). The chair cannot constantly support the correct anchoring of the person's active center of weight.

[0012] Chinese Patent No. CN203073758U describes a chair where the seat height and angle can be adjusted by using a ridge adjusting strip and the chair legs to achieve any random seat inclination. There is no concrete position/correlation of height adjustment of the front/back legs of chair with respect to a level surface. The temporary tilt of the seat is merely for assisting the search for a comfort seating. However, there is no specific fixed positioning of legs or seat angle in relationship to the ground surface. A person in this chair can get into a sitting position, which can overstrain or increase weariness from different poses of the chair. The chair is not made for increase of concentration of attention, vision and entire body tone through continuous passive training. This chair is not made for activation and maintenance of active center of weight of the person or establishment of three points of support/anchoring stability.

[0013] As can be seen, existing chairs with variable seat angles have been designed to address other issues, such as to help a user relax and do not consider the center of weight of the person as the useful factor. Furthermore, conventional chairs are made with the idea to lean back. That is, such chairs have been made with the goal of removing stress from the bottom part of a back and do not consider the center of weight of the person as the useful factor for the health of the human. The aforementioned chairs, sofas, etc. do not consider feet of the person as a way to activate health- improving stability/anchoring support or assembling coordinates of the person in a point where he finds a health-improving natural trance balance.

[0014] The questions of correct stability/anchoring of the human body, maintenance/preservation of the active center of weight, and passive training of the body in non-active pose have not been previously addressed in existing chairs. Accordingly, a need exists in the art to address the preceding shortcomings of the prior art.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE APPLICATION

[0015] The Chair of Meditative Mobilization also known as the "Chair of Nation Health - National Safety From Master HORA" is configured such that it collects attention of the person, without tension, with consideration of the center of weight of the person as a useful factor. The chair promotes the evolutionary development of the person through trans-coordination. Accordingly, a new coordination interconnection can be created consciously or subconsciously between the brain, body (which includes internal organs), and nervous system of a user. The chair forcibly creates a unity of the center of weight and attention and a unity of a tone and calmness. The chair creates non exhausting conditions of trance-evolutionary mobilization for a sitting person.

[0016] In the present application "the alive gravitational center" is understood as the center of effort which arises at any action (including at each breath or exhalation) in a stomach of the person, 3-4 cm below a navel point; continuously connected with the concentrated dimensional attention and meditative type of breathing of the person (breathing is steady and even) into balanced, unified, alive coordination system of interrelations between a brain, a body (including internal organs), and nervous system of the person due to the activated anchoring. Thus, the person can be both mobile and/or motionless by being in different body positions (sitting, lyingdown, standing, etc.).

[0017] The alive gravitational center is forcibly awakened in the person sitting on a chair of Meditative Mobilization™. This is facilitated by support/anchoring through three points of support: pelvis and two feet while sitting on the chair. Such effort changes the breathing of the person to be meditative (i.e., steady and even breathing). [0018] By sitting on the inventive chair, a non-exhausting and constant comfortable muscle tone can be formed without conscious effort: instinctive, reflexive, followed by awakening of attention within entire body. This makes the center of weight of the sitting person become active, that is enveloped by attention ("active center of weight"). When the person is in a zone of active rest and concentrated dimensional attention, in unity of activity and calmness, attention is calm, strengthened, and tenacious.

[0019] A correct stability and anchoring of a person is achieved by sitting on the inventive chair: during the time of work or rest, a person can increase concentration and attention by increasing mobilized activity of the body. In particular, the inventive chair activates a body mechanism that naturally promotes awareness and awakeness. The stability or anchoring- mobilization strength of a person becomes stronger without any special training. This chair passively trains the person to control constant instinctive removal of weariness, which leads an increase of internal control.

[0020] Accordingly, in one aspect, a chair is provided comprising : a seat adapted to support a user in a seated position, the seat having a front edge and a back edge and defining a seat angle that is formed between a level surface and a plane defined by the front edge and the back edge; the seat angle is greater than zero such that the back edge of the seat is higher than the front edge of the seat; at least one front leg situated at a position in front of a divided or bisection plane that bisects the seat at a point equidistant from the front and back edges of the seat and that is essentially perpendicular to the ground level; and at least one back leg, wherein the lowest end point of the at least one back leg is situated at a position behind the divided or bisection plane. The length and/or height of the at least one front leg, the length and/or height of the at least one back leg, the seat angle, and the seat height are each not adjustable. The chair does not rock back and forth and does not have wheels. [0021] The chair may have a frame, wherein the seat, the front legs, and the back legs are each fixedly attached to the frame. The chair may have a seatback situated to support at least a portion of a back of a person in a seated position . The at least one front leg may include two front legs. The at least one back leg may include two back legs. The height and/or length of the back leg may be the same. The height and/or length of the front legs may be the same. The height and/or length of the at least one back leg may be 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm) higher and/or longer than the height of the at least one front leg. Back legs are raised above the ground level by 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm) in comparison to the standard chair. The chair may include at least one extension piece fixedly attached to a lower portion of the at least one back leg. The chair may include two extension pieces fixedly attached to lower portions of the two back legs, respectively.

[0022] A chair adapted for use on a level resting surface includes a seat, at least one front leg (e.g., two front legs) connected to the seat, and at least one back leg (e.g., two back legs) connected to the seat. The seat is adapted to support a user in a seated position. The seat has a primary plane, which defines a seat angle with respect to the level resting surface. The primary plane has a front edge where the primary plane intersects a front surface of the seat and a back edge where the primary plane intersects a back surface of the seat. The at least one front leg contacts the seat and is situated at a position in front of a bisection plane that bisects the seat at a point equidistant from the front and back edges of the seat and that is essentially perpendicular to the ground level . The at least one back leg contacts the seat, wherein the lowest end point of the at least one back leg is situated at a position behind the bisection plane. The height of the at least one back leg is higher than the height of the at least one front leg, thereby causing the back edge of the primary plane to be higher than the front edge of the primary plane by 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm) . The length of the at least one front leg, the length of the at least one back leg, the seat angle, and the seat height are each not adjustable. The chair does not rock back and forth and does not have wheels. The chair may have a frame, wherein the seat, the front legs, and the back legs are each fixedly attached to the frame. The chair may have a seatback situated to support at least a portion of a back of a person in a seated position . At least one extension piece (e.g., two extension pieces) may be fixedly attached to a lower portion of the at least one back leg (e.g., two respective extension pieces) . The extension piece(s) may add height to the two back legs, thereby causing back edge of the primary plane to be 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm) higher than the front edge of the primary plane. The height of each of the two extension pieces is 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm).

[0023] Such chair under the name of "Chair of Nation Health - National Safety From Master HORA" creates a stability/anchoring support from three points— a pelvis and two feet. The human center of weight is quickly stabilized with simultaneous strengthening of concentration of attention. A non-exhausting and constant comfortable tone is formed without any expansion of the effort. In contrast, an adjustable chair cannot constantly maintain correct stability/anchoring of the human active center of weight.

[0024] In particular, by using the chair, a person can : improve ventilation of lungs, muscle tone, and improve prostate gland; hold in a tone a stomach and compel the ribcage to expand during even a light breath and exhalation ; instinctively strengthen the stability /anchoring mobilization system ; create tone of the whole body with simultaneous relaxation and calmness; and awaken meditative-type breathing (i. e., a breathing that is steady and even) .

[0025] The use of the chair of the invention turns on a passive training of increasing tone, strengthening of concentration of attention and absence of exhaustions. Such active straight sitting can promote intellectual productivity and tenacity of attention, harmonizes process of digestion and/or food intake. In particular, overeating while sitting on the chair of the invention is difficult.

[0026] When using of the Chair of Meditative Mobilization, it turns on the strengthening effort in a stomach and this strengthening is instantly felt by the person. The working person sitting on a chair engaged in conversation, printing, writing letter by hand, drawing, etc., uses the movement of a hand and the arm. In the active personalized sitting on a Chair of Meditative Mobilization the hand is emphasized and tone, speech, thought, and together with the intellect becomes concise and clear, and connects to the action of a hand, and its fingers in a single whole. That is, fingers are strengthened, made active, accentuated and connected to the speech.

[0027] Thus, through the Chair of Meditative Mobilization there is a complete collection of a person. This creates a continuous training for a brain "brain fitness" for the people working while sitting on a chair at offices, educational institutions, home, etc. The hand is connected with a brain (development of a brain) and attention, of the person sitting on the Chair of Meditative Mobilization and the activated hands change breathing type. Thus, the alive gravitational center of a person, attention, and breathing, together create the alive united (whole) coordinated system of evolutionary development.

[0028] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for improving concentration of attention of a person comprising, sitting in a chair as described herein for a period of time suitable to improve the concentration of attention of a person in need thereof.

[0029] In another aspect, the present invention provides method for decreasing level of weariness of a person comprising, sitting in a chair as described herein for a period of time suitable to decrease the level of weariness of in a person in need thereof.

[0030] In another aspect, the present invention provides method for improving food digestion in a person comprising, sitting in a chair as described herein for a period of time suitable to improvement of digestion of food in a person in need thereof.

[0031] In another aspect, the present invention provides method for reducing or preventing overeating comprising, sitting in a chair as described herein while eating by a person in need thereof.

[0032] In another aspect, the present invention provides method for actively reducing or preventing activation of feebleness due to aging comprising, sitting in a chair as described herein while resting or working by a person in need thereof.

[0033] Sitting on a standard chair while attempting to copy the approximate inclination that is created by changing back legs (per this patent application) does not give the same result because it does not create three evolutionary, natural stability and/or anchoring support points. Such imitations can only increase the tension in the feet.

[0045] The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description of certain methods/techniques of the present application, will be better understood when read in conjunction with the appended drawings. For the purposes of illustration, certain techniques are shown in the drawings. It should be understood, however, that the claims are not limited to the arrangements and instrumentality shown in the attached drawings. Furthermore, the appearance shown in the drawings is one of many ornamental appearances that can be employed to achieve the stated functions of the system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICATION

[0046] The term "chair" as used herein refers to any piece of furniture adapted for a user to sit upon. For example, a chair herein includes a sofa, loveseat, bench, or stool (e.g., bar stool), as well as suitable forms of typical chairs, such as, a table chair, desk chair, arm chair, or lounge chair. The chair may form part of a larger piece of furniture, for example, the chair can be part of a student desk that further comprises a solid writing platform positioned for use by a use sitting in the chair. The invention belongs to the furniture items and intended for activation of meditative mobilization of the person in sitting position with simultaneous preservation and improvement of health.

[0047] In the present document a "standard chair" is understood as a chair where the angle of a seat is equal to zero (seat is horizontal), the framework (length and/or height of legs, seat height, seat inclination, etc.) cannot be regulated/adjusted, it does not rock back and forth, it does not have wheels, the chair is stationary fixed. Where the range of seat heights from the ground level (floor) is designed to account for different average heights of a human across geographic regions for any age category of people who can comfortably reach the floor while sitting in the chair.

[0048] The front and back legs can be attached directly to the seat of the chair. Alternatively, the seat and legs can each be attached to a common frame. As another alternative, the chair may be formed without any attachments— i.e., as a unitary whole. "Front" and "back" legs are determined by reference the lowest end points to the dividing or bisection plane that is essentially perpendicular to the ground level and divides the seat into a front portion and back portion dividing/bisecting it at the equal distance from the front and back edges, as depicted in FIG. 12. The front portion of the seat contains the front edge and the front legs, while the back portion contains the back edge and the back legs. In one embodiment, the chair comprises two front legs and two back legs, although, other numbers of legs can be used provided that the each back leg of the Chair of the Meditative Mobilization is raised above ground level by 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm) in comparison to the standard chair, and the chair is stable when set upon a level surface. The back leg(s) may have their length and/or height extended by 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm). Meanwhile, the height and/or length of the front leg(s) (the distance between a front edge of a chair and the lowest end of a front leg) in all embodiments remains unchanged.

[0049] The seat of a chair defines a primary plane that reflects the overall slope of the top surface of the seat. While there may be some variance in the contour of the top surface of the seat, one having ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the overall slope of the top surface of the seat can be defined by the primary plane. The primary plane has a front edge at a location where it intersects with a front surface of the seat. The primary plane also has a back edge where it intersects with a back surface of the seat. The figures illustrate primary planes for respective seats with broken lines. Even though the broken lines may be one dimensional, it is readily apparent what the primary plane is for each figure.

[0050] A seatback as part of the chair is optional. When present, the seatback can be situated as is familiar to those skilled in the art to support the back of a person in a seated position on the seat of the chair. As with the legs of the chair, the seatback can be directly attached to the seat, or when present, attached to the frame of the chair. Alternatively, the seatback, seat, and legs may be one piece— i.e. , formed as a unitary whole.

[0051] The front edge of the chair can be arranged to be at a comfortable distance above the floor as is suitable based upon the height of the user of the chair. For example, in certain embodiments, the front edge of the chair is about 38 to 107 cm above the ground. [0052] The seatback, legs, and the seat (e.g. , seat angle and height above the ground) are suitably non-adjustable to maintain the proper positioning of a user seated in the chair.

[0053] As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the back legs of the chair are lifted by 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm). The invention can have back legs height variance of +/- 0.5 cm. This variance is designed to account for different average heights of a human across geographic regions for any age category of people who can comfortable reach the floor while sitting in the chair. The phrase 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm) refers to 2.0-3.0 cm. The back legs can be unitary legs or multi- component legs. In certain embodiments, the back legs are built as one- piece legs from the beginning in manufacturing process that are raised by 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm) above ground level and are not adjustable. In other cases the existing back leg(s) of any standard chair are extended by 2.5 cm (+/-0.5 cm) by fixedly attaching (e.g., screwing) integrated extension piece(s) to the end of the back legs. Meanwhile, the distance between a front edge of a chair and the lowest end of a front leg in all embodiments remains unchanged— i.e., not raised at all .

[0054] As shown in FIGS. 5-6, a standard chair can be transformed into a chair where back legs of a chair are raised above ground level by 2.5 cm (+/-0.5 cm) by means of manufacturing the back legs to the required fixed length . Alternatively, in another embodiment, the back legs are two-piece legs that each contain a leg portion and an integrated extension portion that is fixedly attached to a lower portion of each back leg of an already existing chair in such way that the leg height is not adjustable. Meanwhile, the distance between a front edge of a chair and the lowest end of a front leg remains unchanged.

[0055] For example, integrated extension piece(s) can be fixedly attached to the leg portion of each of the back legs to convert a standard chair to one disclosed herein. In such an example, the leg portion of the back leg of the chair has essentially the same height as the front legs prior to attachment of the integrated extension piece(s). The term "fixedly attached" as used herein means that the items are connected such that the pieces remain attached when the chair is raised from the ground.

[0056] As shown in FIGS. 11A-11C, the material used to raise the back legs (e.g., the integrated extension piece) can be formed from any material (plastic, wood, metal, rubber, other polymers, etc.), and have any configuration (a lath, a cap, extendible-retractable clams, a lath under both legs, etc.). A piece with rounded edges may be suitable for metal material. Suitable fixedly attaching methods include, for example, any variant of fastening by tapping, screws, bolts, glue, threads, in the form of removable end caps, such as extendible-retractable clams that can include springs. In certain embodiments, the integrated extension piece portion is fixedly attached by screws, bolts, springs, clamps or threads. The chair can be moved as one integrated piece. The extension pieces may be attachable to the bottom end or a lower portion of a given back leg. The extension pieces may be 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm) high or may add height of 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm) to the back leg.

[0057] FIGS. 7-10 illustrate that the chair can be as a separate object and as a part of a combination of objects, or as the fastened object(s) for sitting. For example, the chair can be used for passengers/crews in vehicles, cinemas, school desks (e.g., FIGS. 7-9) and public benches (e.g., FIG. 10), among others.

[0058] By increasing the height and/or length of the back legs with extension pieces while maintaining the height of the front legs, it has the effect of causing the primary plane of the seat to have an angle greater than zero with respect to the level resting surface upon which the chair rests. In other words, the primary plane will slope downwardly from its back edge to its front edge. By having the height of the rear legs 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm) higher than the height of the front legs, the back edge of the primary plane may be 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm) higher than the front edge of the primary plane.

[0059] The chair can be decorative, can have different height/width and covered with various of material covers. There are no limits or restrictions.

[0060] The Chair of Meditative Mobilization described herein activates and trains developed by natures the instinct of mobilization as a condition of success, youthfulness, and health through establishment of the three points of stability/anchoring through both feet and the lower pelvis-sacrum region.

[0061] The chairs described herein provide three points of stability/anchoring through both feet and the lower pelvis-sacrum region. This differs from a single diffused point of stability provided by a typical chair, with weakened, resting-like feet.

[0062] The chairs described herein helps the stability/anchoring support part below the pelvis-sacrum region to shift the body forward, a person is compelled to stabilize/support oneself not only against the pelvic and sacrum part of the spine but also using his two feet. A dense and firm stability/anchoring support is created for the body in a person seated in a chair described herein, without tension. The person's center of gravity is actively stabilized which instinctualy compels activation of concentration of attention without any additional effort.

[0063] Commonly, the back of a person sitting relaxed in a regular chair becomes loose, particularly, the lower sacrum region. The stomach has fallen out and looks like a roll. Even a person with a fit stomach feels like their stomach has fallen out into a roll.

[0064] The new stability/anchoring support activated by a Chair of Meditative Mobilization described herein— from three points: pelvis and two feet— and new chair angle change the posture of a user and compel instinctual, not purposeful, sitting in a toned and upright pose.

[0065] The three tone points of new stability/anchoring support provided by a chair as described above versus the one point of an unspecific support in a typical chair reduces energy loss and gives a person the ability to be able to rest and work simultaneously, and think for a long period of time. In particular, a stable position is provided to a user with a physiologically straight spine, an individually ideal spine.

[0066] Active sitting, increased calmness, through decrease of tiredness, decrease of nervousness, decrease of interconnectivity exhaustion between body and nervous system, and increased of concentration of attention (even while working) are provided by sitting in a chair as described above.

[0067] Further, sitting in a chair as described above improves and strengthens human sight, without any efforts. Those who made vision test experiments on themselves, using the Snellen eye chart say that they see improvements in vision between ~ 20% to 30%. Meaning testing individual can read out an additional 2-3 letters out of eight on 20/20 test line when sitting on a chair described herein. These are the 2-3 letters that individual could not read out sitting on a regular chair.

[0068] An increase of competitiveness can be provided while sitting on a chair described herein. Sitting in the chair creates a favorable background for the mental (psychological) activities of a person. Such a chair helps the person to enter into an active rest while toning without any type of self- auto-training, yogic, meditative, or other psycho-trainings.

[0069] Reduction of overeating can be achieved through sitting on a chair described herein. The pose induced by sitting in the chair, at the moment of food intake, supports the stomach in a comfortable place. The pose does not allow to the person to overeat, as the gastroenteric path is not falling out, but is toned and in an upright pose. In the position provided by sitting in a chair as described above, the stomach of individual does not fall out into a roll. Rather, the stomach muscles instinctively are tightened and toned. The sensation of constant comfort comes from a correctly organized bloodstream that is not squeezed by the weakened, sagging stomach. Such sagging stomachs are a kind of an abnormal accumulation of fluid/ swelling (stagnant blood); some have more and some have less, but it does not depend on the size of the stomach.

[0070] During food intake, the person on a chair as described above sits at a table, observing all rules of etiquette, feels comfortable and looks noble/aesthetic. The position itself, at the moment of food intake, is supporting the stomach in a comfortable manner, and the person feels for him/herself if he/she is overeating without the need of any devices or experts. The gastrointestinal path is harmonized.

[0071] A chair as described above accustoms a person to an instinctive diet. If one is not comfortable, it means that one is on the way of overeating. This chair, thus, does not allow one to do this, and actively fights against overeating.

[0072] In contrast, a person who is sitting on a standard chair with one unspecific point of stability/anchoring support does not realize that the back is collapsed in the lower sacrum region or that his/her tummy is rolled out forward. The food with such a body posture is getting consolidated in the gastrointestinal path and therefore, takes away strength, exhausts and makes the person tired, weakened and sleepy.

[0073] Advantageously a chair as described above can be introduced into any education/business institution. For example, if the new chair is used in schools from children's early age, then such multi-year passive training will strengthen a person physically, mentally, and intellectually. It will instill qualities of endurance, etc. Any training and repetition leads to strengthening. In this case, such training on a chair does not take away power, meaning that a new, different, coordinates connection between a brain, a body (internal organs) and nervous system is created.

[0074] All described processes derived from the use of the chair or integrated extension pieces, under condition that the chair's seat that is being modified by the integrated extension pieces is parallel to the floor (not tilted backwards or forwards). If the original seat is not horizontal, then first the seat of the chair must be adjusted to the horizontal position. Only then back lags of the existing chair are raised above ground level by 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm) in comparison to each front leg of the chair.

[0075] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted without departing from the scope of the novel techniques disclosed in this application. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the novel techniques without departing from its scope. Therefore, it is intended that the novel techniques not be limited to the particular techniques disclosed, but that they will include all techniques falling within the scope of the appended claims.

Claims

1. A chair adapted for use on a level resting surface, the chair comprising : a seat adapted to support a user in a seated position, the seat having a primary plane, wherein the primary plane defines a seat angle with respect to the level resting surface, wherein the primary plane has a front edge where the primary plane intersects a front surface of the seat, and wherein the primary plane has a back edge where the primary plane intersects a back surface of the seat; at least one front leg in contact with the seat and situated at a position in front of a bisection plane that bisects the seat at a point equidistant from the front and back edges of the seat and that is essentially perpendicular to the ground level; and at least one back leg in contact with the seat, wherein the lowest end point of the at least one back leg is situated at a position behind the bisection plane; wherein : the height of the at least one back leg is higher than the height of the at least one front leg, thereby causing the back edge of the primary plane to be higher than the front edge of the primary plane by 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm); the length of the at least one front leg, the length of the at least one back leg, the seat angle, and the seat height are each not adjustable; and the chair does not rock back and forth and does not have wheels.

2. The chair of claim 1, further comprising a frame, wherein the seat, the front legs, and the back legs are each fixedly attached to the frame.

3. The chair of claim 1, further comprising a seatback situated to support at least a portion of a back of a person in a seated position.

4. The chair of claim 1, wherein the at least one front leg comprises two front legs.

5. The chair of claim 1, wherein the at least one back leg comprises two back legs.

6. The chair of claim 1, further comprising at least one extension piece fixedly attached to a lower portion of the at least one back leg.

7. The chair of claim 1, wherein : the at least one front leg comprises two front legs; and the at least one back leg comprises two back legs.

8. The chair of claim 7, wherein : the lengths of the two front legs are the same; and the lengths of the two back legs are the same.

9. The chair of claim 8, further comprising two extension pieces fixedly attached to lower portions of the two back legs, respectively, wherein the two extension pieces add height to the two back legs, thereby causing back edge of the primary plane to be 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm) higher than the front edge of the primary plane.

10. The chair of claim 9, wherein a height of each of the two extension pieces is 2.5 cm (+/- 0.5 cm).
