Description

  The present invention relates to a health chair in a mode in which a user's body in a seated state, in particular, a waist is shaken and used.

A number of configurations have been announced in the past in which the seat surface of the chair swings back and forth and from side to side and gives a massage effect to the waist of the user sitting on the chair.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-121842 (first page, FIG. 1)

  In this kind of health chair, the user sitting on the chair only rocks back and forth or left and right, so the movement of the seat plate seat surface becomes monotonous and becomes tired gradually after purchase and is not used. There are many.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a health chair that provides a pleasant stimulus to the user's waist, and thus the entire body, seated by various movements of the seat plate seating surface and enables long-term use without getting tired.

  The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is configured such that a seat plate, an intermediate plate, and a bottom plate are vertically stacked in three stages, and a plurality of legs are suspended from the bottom side of the bottom plate to form a chair shape. And each lower support respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the front and rear end portions on each top surface side of the bottom plate, and an upper support opposite to each lower support on the bottom surface side of the middle plate and the seat plate, The lower support provided between the seat plate and the middle plate is recessed upward and has a guide groove extending forward and backward, and the upper support is recessed downward. In addition, a guide groove extending in the front-rear direction is provided, the sphere is in contact with each guide groove, and the lower support provided between the middle plate and the bottom plate is recessed upward and extends in the left-right direction. In addition, the upper support is provided with guide grooves that are recessed downward and extended to the left and right. The spherical bodies are in contact with the respective guide grooves, and are installed between the standing members respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the lower side of the lower support on the top side of the middle plate, and the standing members. A regulating member, a hanging member provided on the seat plate seat surface side, and the hanging member are attached so as to sandwich the regulating member vertically between the seat plate bottom surface side and the seat plate along the regulating member Each standing member provided on each of the front and rear sides of the left and right portions of the lower support on the bottom plate top surface side, and a regulating member constructed between the standing members, A sliding member provided on the bottom surface side of the intermediate plate, and a sliding member that is attached so as to sandwich the restriction member vertically between the hanging member and the bottom surface side of the intermediate plate, and that is movable along with the intermediate plate along the restriction member Characterized by having a member To.

  Further, as in claim 2 of the present invention, guide grooves are provided in the front-rear direction of the upper and lower supports between the bottom plate and the middle plate, while guide grooves are provided in the left-right direction of the upper and lower supports between the seat plate and the middle plate. As a result, the middle plate and the seat plate move differently from front to back and from side to side, but the overall movement is the same.

  Here, the regulating member, the hanging member, and the sliding member may be any member that can prevent the withdrawal of each plate while swinging the middle plate from the bottom plate and the seat plate from the middle plate. The rail member or bar member is used as the restricting member. The restricting member is surrounded by the bottom surface side of the seat plate or the middle plate, and the hanging member and the sliding member, and the seat plate and the middle plate are moved back and forth along the restricting member. Alternatively, it can move left and right, and cannot be pulled out upward. Also, the front, rear, left and right directions are those in which the user sitting on the health chair faces the front. Further, the sliding member may be any member that hangs on the bottom of the regulating member and that smoothly contacts the regulating member, and examples thereof include a smooth plate material, a round bar, and a roller.

  When the health chair is formed as described above, during use, the rolling of the sphere interposed between the guide grooves of the upper and lower support members causes the middle plate to swing toward the front and rear or left and right as intended by the user. The seat plate swings in the front / rear direction or the left / right direction different from the middle plate, and as a result, various patterns such as circles, squares, triangles, and the like combined in the front / rear and left / right directions can be performed. In addition, since the hanging member and the sliding member are disposed so that the regulating member cannot be detached, it is possible to prevent the sphere from being separated from between the guide grooves without regulating the swing of the seat plate and the middle plate. .

  In the invention according to claim 3 among the present invention, a hole penetrating vertically is provided in a place where the user's buttocks in the seat plate is placed, and before and after the hole of the seat plate so as to cover the hole, or Since an endless belt is spanned between the left and right, when the user sits down, the collar part sinks into the hole together with the belt and the seat plate swings, so when the user sits down The holding power increases, and it is not shaken off during use, and a stable health chair is used.

  It is desirable that the belt has air permeability such as a cotton material or a net. In addition, the hole should be large enough to sink the user's buttocks, and its shape and size are not particularly limited, but considering the contact with the buttocks, the corners and edges should be rounded. It is desirable to have formed.

  In the invention according to claim 4 of the present invention, a stopper is provided between the seat plate and the support plate to restrict the lateral swing of the seat plate. Alternatively, if the intermediate plate and the bottom plate are connected to stop the shaking of the seat plate and the intermediate plate, and the release is released, the connection state between the seat plate and the intermediate plate, the intermediate plate and the bottom plate is released, and the seat plate, It becomes possible to rock the middle plate again in the left-right direction intended by the driver.

  Here, for example, a stopper such as a hook, a screw, a hook-and-loop fastener, or the like may be freely selected as long as it can be switched between swing and regulation of each plate by a simple operation.

  As in the invention according to claim 5 of the present invention, a spacer for inclining a seat plate seat surface interposed between the lower end portion and the floor surface can be attached to and detached from any lower end portion of the leg. As a result, one side of the health chair is lifted by the spacer interposed between the lower end of the leg and the floor surface, and the seat plate tilts, resulting in a two-dimensional swing of the seat plate and the middle plate. Up and down three-dimensional rocking accompanying tilt is added to the movement.

  According to the invention described in claims 1 and 2 of the present invention, for a user sitting on a chair, the body rolls and pitches in the direction intended by the user, and further, a combination of mutual movements. The user can be refreshed by various stimuli applied at the time of swinging, and the exercise effect can be easily obtained even for users with relatively little physical strength such as elderly people, children, and disabled people. become.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the user sits down, the belt body is given a hold feeling by the bending of the belt, so that the user can obtain a comfortable sitting comfort and of course swing. It can be used safely without worrying about being shaken off occasionally.

  According to the invention described in claim 4 of the present invention, when the health chair is not in use, the seat plate or the middle plate can be kept stationary and can be used as a normal chair.

  According to the invention described in claim 5 of the present invention, since it is swung in a three-dimensional direction in the vertical direction in addition to the two-dimensional rocking in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction, it can be used for a long time without getting tired of the user. Can be hoped for.

  A specific configuration of the cushion of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the health chair has a seat plate 1 on which a user sits, an intermediate plate 2, and a bottom plate 3, which are vertically stacked in three stages, and six legs from the bottom side of the bottom plate 3. 4 is formed in a chair shape, and a hole 13 corresponding to the size of the buttock H is vacant in the center of the seat plate 1, and an endless belt band 14 is formed in the hole 13. Is spread over.
In addition, the code | symbol 18 is a translucent acrylic board, and it aims at weight reduction of this health chair by providing in the intermediate board 2. FIG.

Furthermore, the function part which rocks | fluctuates the intermediate | middle board 2 and the bottom board 3 at the time of the user sitting in this health chair, and the seat board 1 and the intermediate board 2 is demonstrated.
