Ein Wellness-Gerät ist durch das RU 22536716 bekannt. Es besteht aus einer Stütze und einem darauf montierten Sitz und enthält auch eine Vorrichtung, die eine Schwingbewegung des Sitzes gewährleistet. Es unterscheidet sich dadurch von anderen Geräten, dass es eine tonnenförmige oder konische Schraubenfeder enthält. Die Feder ermöglicht es, den Sitz um seine vertikale und horizontale Achse zu schwingen. Die Feder sorgt auch für eine oszillierende Bewegung relativ zu den vertikalen und horizontalen Achsen mit einer Frequenz von 1 bis 5 Hz. Ein Ende der Feder ist mit der Stütze verbunden, das andere Ende mit der Unterseite des Sitzes. Dieses Gerät ist zum Sitzen gedacht. Sitzen hat eine natürliche, heilende Wirkung auf den menschlichen Körper, sowohl bei der Arbeit als auch beim Ausruhen. Dies wird durch Vibrationen verursacht. Sie werden durch natürliche Bewegungen der Person selbst erzeugt. Es besteht keine Notwendigkeit, ein externes Oszillationsmittel zu verwenden, um das Gleichgewicht, die Ausgewogenheit und das Wohlbefinden des menschlichen Körpers in jeder Position aufrechtzuerhalten.A wellness device is through that RU 22536716 known.

Ein gemeinsamer Nachteil aller bekannten Vorrichtungen zur Entlastung des menschlichen Bewegungsapparats während der Arbeit oder in der Ruhephase besteht darin, dass sie nicht die Möglichkeit bieten, den menschlichen Körper selbst auszubalancieren. Außerdem bieten sie je nach Größe und Gewicht der Person keinen ausreichenden Sitzkomfort, und das verhindert eine wirksame Entspannung.A common disadvantage of all known devices for relieving the human musculoskeletal system during work or at rest is that they do not offer the possibility of balancing the human body itself. In addition, depending on the height and weight of the person, they do not provide sufficient seating comfort, and this prevents effective relaxation.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Effizienz des Geräts für Benutzer unterschiedlicher Statur zu erhöhen. Außerdem soll der Komfort des Benutzers unabhängig von seiner Größe und seinem Gewicht verbessert werden.The object of the invention is to increase the efficiency of the device for users of different statures. In addition, the comfort of the user should be improved regardless of their size and weight.

  • The support bed can be equipped with a height-adjustable headboard.

Der Anmelder hat keine Quellen angegeben, die Informationen über technische Lösungen enthalten, deren Merkmalskombination mit der Kombination von Unterscheidungsmerkmalen der Erfindung übereinstimmt. Dies führt zu dem Schluss, dass die Erfindung die Bedingung der "Neuheit" (N) erfüllt.The applicant has not indicated any sources containing information about technical solutions, the combination of features of which coincides with the combination of distinguishing features of the invention. This leads to the conclusion that the invention fulfills the condition of "novelty" (N).

Die beanspruchte Kombination von wesentlichen Merkmalen führt zu einer technischen Wirkung. Sie besteht darin, dass es der Mechanismus zur Einstellung der Kippkraft Menschen mit unterschiedlicher Statur ermöglicht, die für sie richtige Kraft zu wählen. Dies schafft bessere Bedingungen für die Fähigkeit des Nutzers, effektiv zu arbeiten oder zu ruhen. Die verstellbaren Armlehnen und der Tisch bieten dem Benutzer unabhängig von seiner Größe und seinem Gewicht mehr Komfort.The claimed combination of essential features leads to a technical effect. It is that the tilting force adjustment mechanism allows people of different builds to choose the force that is right for them. This creates better conditions for the user's ability to to work or rest effectively. The adjustable armrests and table offer greater comfort to users regardless of their size and weight.

Dieses technische Ergebnis ist keine Folge bekannter Eigenschaften. Es ergibt sich aus Merkmalen, die von anderen technischen Objekten, wie z. B. dem Stützbett, bekannt sind. Es ist nur eine Eigenschaft der Gesamtheit der wesentlichen Merkmale. Diese sind in dem unabhängigen Antrag dargelegt. Aufgrund der vorstehenden Ausführungen kann die beanspruchte technische Lösung als "erfinderische Tätigkeit" (IS) eingestuft werden.This technical result is not a consequence of known properties. It results from characteristics that are derived from other technical objects, such as B. the support bed are known. It is only one characteristic of the totality of essential characteristics. These are set out in the independent motion. Based on the above, the claimed technical solution can be classified as "inventive step" (IS).

Nachdem eine Person ihren Rücken, ihr Becken und ihre Hüfte auf der Liege 5 und ihre Füße auf der Fußstütze 7 positioniert hat, beginnt die reflexive Arbeit der Körpermuskeln, selbstbalancierend durch Einnahme der bequemsten und ausgewogensten Haltung. Das Stützbett 5 ist so eingestellt, dass es wackeln kann. Es zwingt die Person zum Gleichgewicht und unterstützt das spontane Einnehmen einer bequemen Körperhaltung. Der Mechanismus zur Einstellung der Kippkraft ist als austauschbarer Anschlag ausgeführt. Die Stütze verändert die Kraft des Federmechanismus 3 und passt diese Kraft an die Körpergröße der Person an. Verstellbare Armlehnen 8, Kopfstütze 9 und Tisch erhöhen den Komfort. Der Kippbegrenzer 6 begrenzt den maximalen Schwenkwinkel des Stützbettes 4. Er wirkt auch als Stoßdämpfer. Die Position der Person auf dem Gerät kann in einem entspannten (statischen) und einem schwingenden Zustand sein. Das Aufschaukeln wird durch Selbstbalancierung und leichtes Wegdrücken der Füße von der Fußstütze 7 erreicht. Die aufgebrachte Kraft reguliert die Amplitude der Pendelbewegung. Gleichzeitig bleiben die Muskeln des Körpers in einem ruhigen, entspannten Zustand. Das seitliche Schwanken, das in der Natur des Menschen liegt, hat eine positive Wirkung auf den Körper. Das Schaukeln stärkt den Gleichgewichtsapparat, massiert die Blutgefäße, stimuliert die Funktionen beider Gehirnhälften und beseitigt Staus. All dies verbessert das Funktionieren des gesamten Körpers in Ruhe oder bei der Arbeit.After a person has positioned his back, pelvis and hips on the couch 5 and his feet on the footrest 7, the reflexive work of the body muscles begins, self-balancing by assuming the most comfortable and balanced posture. The support bed 5 is adjusted so that it can wobble. It forces the person to balance and assists in spontaneously assuming a comfortable posture. The mechanism for setting the tipping force is designed as an exchangeable stop. The support changes the power of the Spring mechanism 3 and adapts this force to the height of the person. Adjustable armrests 8, headrest 9 and table increase comfort. The tilt limiter 6 limits the maximum tilting angle of the support bed 4. It also acts as a shock absorber. The person's position on the device can be in a relaxed (static) and a swinging state. Rocking is achieved by self-balancing and slightly pushing your feet away from the footrest 7. The force applied regulates the amplitude of the pendulum motion. At the same time, the muscles of the body remain in a calm, relaxed state. The lateral swaying that is part of human nature has a positive effect on the body. The rocking strengthens the vestibular system, massages the blood vessels, stimulates the functions of both hemispheres and eliminates congestion. All this improves the functioning of the whole body at rest or at work.
