Description

  The present invention relates to a stoop posture correction and a dance posture correction by a combination of a hat and a tilt sensor.

  Conventionally, posture correction devices are mostly of the type described in the public relations such as Japanese Patent No. 2835301, actual publicity: Hei 5-29705, etc. These are used as a back plate member with a shoulder belt as a bag or backpack. Wear on your back. Moreover, there is a thing which hold | maintains and fixes a back | rest, an arm, etc. with a holding member like actual opening: 3-56466.

However, these have the following drawbacks.
(I) The posture correction device with the back plate supported by a belt presses the shoulder blade with the back plate to stretch the chest, but on the other hand, the shoulder belt and the upper arm are strongly pulled backwards by tightening the shoulder belt, and the shoulder is angry Only the chest protrudes forward unnaturally. Moreover, since no countermeasures have been taken with respect to the forward tilting of the head, which is the biggest problem of the stooped posture, there is a drawback that the head remains tilted forward and the posture becomes like a penguin.
(B) Further, when a dance posture correcting device using a holding member is used as in the above-mentioned flat 3-56466, the following problems have occurred. Since these devices simply prevent the collapse of the posture with a support member such as a support rod, they cannot learn how to train the working muscles that are necessary to lack the consciousness of maintaining the posture correctly. After removing the holding member, the adverse effect of device dependence was caused on the contrary, such as the shoulders and arms rising too high and the spine bending down too much. Furthermore, in the practice of dancing, since each dances together on a narrow floor, it is dangerous and various problems are encountered when practicing among those who are wearing the hard and large members as described above. The present invention has been made in order to correct all postures by removing all these drawbacks and calling attention to them.

(1) Provide a tilt switch (2) on the side of the cap (1), and attach a pair of warning lights to the cap collar with the lamp (3) battery (4) power switch (5).
(2) A tilt switch is attached to a part of the body clothes such as the chest and used to correct the dance posture.
The present invention is a stooped posture correction alarm having the above-described configuration.

Best Mode for Practicing the Invention

Hereinafter, the actual form of this plan is demonstrated in detail based on drawing.
(A) FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of the present invention.
The tilt switch (2) shown in FIG. 3 is locked on the side surface of the cap (1) with Velcro (12) and (12). This tilt switch uses velcro so that it can be mounted horizontally according to the angle at which each cap is worn, but other adjusters can also be used. On the back side, a battery (4) and a power switch (5) and a pair of alarm lamps (3) are attached and connected to a tilt switch (7) by a cable (6). When the tilt switch is turned off at the correct posture, the tilt switch is turned on immediately when the stoop is turned on, and the alarm lamp (3) emits a light and gives a warning.
(B) FIG. 2 is a mounting view showing the second embodiment.
The tilt switch (2) is locked on the clothing chest with Velcro (12) and (12), and the alarm lamp (3) shown in the first embodiment is mounted on the left thumb. This is to familiarize men with the correct hold of ballroom dance. When the hold collapses due to the arms and shoulders being raised or lowered too much, the alarm lamp (3) attached to the left hand emits a light and gives a warning. The lamp can be installed anywhere as long as it can be seen, but this is the most suitable when considering the head orientation of the dance hold posture.
(C) FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the tilt switch {circle around (2)} described in the first and second embodiments. An electrode of (8), (8) 'is provided inside one end of the conductive cylindrical tube (7), a conductive sphere (9) is inserted and sealed with an insulator (10) (10), and the insulation coating shrinks The entire cylindrical tube is covered with a tube {circle over (11)} to form a tilt switch and covered with magic tape {12}. When the cylindrical tube (7) is inclined, the spherical body (9) is rolled and the electrodes (8) and (8) are turned on. The conductive cylindrical tube (7) may be non-conductive. Further, a reed switch known as a tilt switch may be used.
(D) FIG. 4 is a wiring diagram of the tilt sensor. Tilt switch (2), alarm lamp (3), battery (4), and power switch (5) are connected in series. The alarm lamp (3) uses a light emitting diode, but other lamps or buzzers may be used, but it is best to use a light emitting diode in view of power consumption.
(E) FIG. 5 is a diagram in which the tilt switch (2) is coupled to the magic tape (12).
It is connected with Velcro (12) covering the surface of the tilt switch. There is an enlarged view of the wearing part used for the hat of FIG. 1 and the chest of FIG. 2. The angle can be freely adjusted and attached.

The invention's effect

  The posture correction instruction alarm device according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, and when this is worn on a hat, the warning lamp lights up with respect to the forward tilt of the back of the head and the head, and the posture is normal. Tells you to return. In addition to the above, when wearing a chest and other clothes, the alarm lamp will inform you of the posture of the shoulder, arm, head, etc.

The invention's effect

The invention has the structure as described above. When this is used for correcting the collapse of the stooped posture and the forward tilted posture, the following procedure is used.
(1) Check the correct posture before wearing.
First, stand upright with the wall and pillars in a vertical position, with the heel about 5 cm away, placing the center of gravity on the heel, and then pull the jaw with the back and head firmly attached to the structure. It becomes posture when measuring height. Next, by moving the center of gravity to the ball part of the foot, the back and head can be separated from structures such as walls and can stand in a beautiful and correct posture. It is desirable for those who cannot do this to approach the correct posture.
(2) Adjust the tilt switch (2) with the cap.
Adjust the mounting position while watching the blinking alarm lamp so that the cap tilt switch is turned off in the correct posture and turned on at the starting point of collapse.
(3) When the correct posture breaks down during use, the warning lamp lights and prompts posture correction each time. Repeatedly and repeatedly mastering the correct posture, the working muscles such as the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles are normally strengthened, and the dorsum and head tilt are corrected to return the cervical spine and spinal column to their normal positions. .

  A person who dances with a ballroom dance where his shoulders and arms are too high and low can solve the above problem by using the apparatus shown in FIG. If the shoulder or arm is too high, the electrode should be left, and if it is too low, the electrode should be right and attached to the clothing under the thoracic clavicle. If the hat of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are used together, the stooped posture can be corrected simultaneously.

  Since the device of the present invention is extremely small and can be easily used continuously, it is very useful for the posture correction effect.

  It is a perspective view of a cap provided with the posture correction function of a 1st embodiment of the present invention.   It is a front view which shows the mounting method of 2nd Embodiment of this invention.   It is a figure which shows the structure of the inclination switch used for the attitude | position correction method of this invention.   It is a wiring diagram which shows the Example of this invention.   It is a front view which shows attachment of the inclination switch used for the attitude | position correction method of this invention.
