Abstract

Portable reeducation apparatus allowing abdominal muscle development by reflex self-checking. This apparatus is fixed around the waist and transmits an audible signal when the abdomen of the user is relaxed. The signal ceases when the user pulls in his stomach. The apparatus is composed of a belt 2 connected to a casing 1 containing an elastic switch device 3 allowing operation of a noise transmitter 4 powered by a battery 5. The apparatus is intended particularly for physiotherapists specialised in reeducation and for their patients.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif portatif permettant la musculation des abdominaux par automatisation du contrôle actif de la tension de la sangle musculaire abdominale. The present invention relates to a portable device allowing the musculation of the abdominals by automation of the active control of the tension of the abdominal muscular strap.

La plupart 'des personnes qui présentent une sangle abdo -minale relâchée ont beaucoup de difficultés à effectuer la gymnastique nécessaire à leur correction et à trouver le temps nécessaire pour effectuer leurs exercices. Beaucoup ne font rien et s'explosent à des problèmes de statique verté- -brale et d'ordre esthétique. Most people who have a loose abdominal strap have a lot of trouble doing the gymnastics they need to correct and finding the time to do their exercises. Many do nothing and explode into problems of vertebral-static and aesthetic order.

Le port de gaines ou de corsets est contraignant, incon -fortable et il favorise encore plus le relâchement- des mêles du ventre. Les dispositifs provoquant une stimulation douloureuse lors du relachement de la sangle abdominale sont difficilement supportés et comportent dea risques de lésions du tissu cutané importants. The wearing of sheaths or corsets is restrictive, uncomfortable and it favors even more the relaxation of the melons of the belly. The devices causing painful stimulation when the abdominal strap is released are difficult to support and carry significant risk of damage to the skin tissue.

Le dispositif selon l'invention remédie à ces inconté -nients.SOn utilisation peut'être permanente, dans toutes les activités quotidiennes telles que ménage, travail, courses, déplacements automobiles etc... . LSappareil est très léger, discret sous les vêtements, confortable et absolument indo -lore dans son fonctionnement; un dispositif interrupteur per -mettant de le déconnecter sans lenleverj autorise des temps de repos et une utilisation intermittente. L'appareil selon l'invention est fixé autour de la taille de lutilisateur et il émet un signal sonore lorsque les muscles abdominaux se re -lâchent et laissent bomber le ventre.L'utilisateur averti de son laisser-aller rentre son ventre et fait cesser le signal sonore. L'automatisation du processus et le travail permanent des muscles abdominaux permet une bonne musculation et une correction permanente qui ne nécessite plus le port de l'ap- -pareil. The device according to the invention remedies these inconveniences. It can be used permanently, in all daily activities such as cleaning, working, shopping, moving cars, etc. The device is very light, discreet under clothing, comfortable and absolutely indo-functional in its operation; a switch device permitting to disconnect it without removing it allows rest times and intermittent use. The device according to the invention is fixed around the waist of the user and it emits an audible signal when the abdominal muscles relax and let the belly bulge. The user, warned of his carelessness, returns his belly and makes him stop the sound signal. The automation of the process and the permanent work of the abdominal muscles allows good bodybuilding and permanent correction which no longer requires the wearing of the device.

Selon la figure 1, le dispositif selon l'invention se com -pose d'un boiter (1) en matière plastique relié à une cein -ture en tissu inextensible (2) ferméépar une boucle (3) per -mettant son réglage. Une partie de la ceinture (3) est reliée dans le bottier (1) à un contacteur électrique élastique permettant le fonctionnement d'un bruiteur (4) de type BUZZER relié à une pile (5) inclus dans le bot -tier (1), Le contacteur électrique élastique est consti -tué d'une bande de tissu élastique (6) fixée à une ex- -trémité au fond du bottier (1) et à l'autre à la ceinture (2) en passant par un orifice (7) aménagé sur le coté du boîtier (1).Sur cette bande de tissu élastique (6) est fixé un élément de contact électrique (8) relié par un fil électrique souple (9) à une borne d'alimentation du brui -teur (4). Quand la ceinture (2) est tendue par le relâ- -chement du ventre, la bande de tissu élastique (6) est étirée et l'élementlde contact (8) glisse sur une plaque métallique (10) fixée au fond du bottier (1) et reliée à l'une des bornes de la pile (5). Le circuit entre la pile (5) et le bruiteur (4) est fermé et le signal sonore se déclenche. Si l'utilisateur rentre son ventre gånterrompt
le contact entre l'élément de contact (8) et la plaque métallique (lO) et fait cesser le signal sonore.
According to Figure 1, the device according to the invention consists of a box (1) made of plastic material connected to a belt made of inextensible fabric (2) closed by a loop (3) allowing its adjustment. A part of the belt (3) is connected in the case (1) to an elastic electrical contactor allowing the operation of a buzzer (4) of the BUZZER type connected to a battery (5) included in the bot -tier (1) , The elastic electrical contactor is made up of a strip of elastic fabric (6) fixed at one end at the bottom of the case (1) and at the other at the belt (2) passing through an orifice ( 7) arranged on the side of the housing (1). On this elastic fabric strip (6) is fixed an electrical contact element (8) connected by a flexible electric wire (9) to a power supply terminal of the noisemaker (4). When the belt (2) is tightened by the relaxation of the belly, the elastic fabric band (6) is stretched and the contact element (8) slides on a metal plate (10) fixed to the bottom of the boot (1 ) and connected to one of the battery terminals (5). The circuit between the battery (5) and the buzzer (4) is closed and the audible signal is triggered. If the user returns his stomach gånterruptpt
contact between the contact element (8) and the metal plate (10) and stops the audible signal.

Un interrupteur électrique (11) fixé sur le coté supérieur du bottier-permet d'interrompre le circuit entre le brui -teur(4) et la pile (5) si l'utilisateur désire momentané -ment relâcher son ventre sans déclencher le signal sonore.An electric switch (11) fixed on the upper side of the boot-interrupts the circuit between the noise-maker (4) and the battery (5) if the user wants to momentarily release his belly without triggering the sound signal .

Une trappe ménagée -dans le couvercle du bottier (1) permet l'accès à la pile (5). A hatch in the case cover (1) allows access to the battery (5).

Selon une variante de l'invention, la fermeture de la ceinture peut etre assurée par des fixations de type Velcro et le bottier est réalisé par moulage par injection de matière plastique. According to a variant of the invention, the closure of the belt can be ensured by Velcro type fasteners and the boot is made by injection molding of plastic material.

L'appareil selon l'invention s'adresse particulièrement aux kinésithérapeutes et aux personnes désirant se faire un ventre plat et musclé.  The device according to the invention is particularly intended for physiotherapists and people wishing to have a flat and muscular stomach.
