Description

  The present invention relates to a spinal correction chair that easily corrects spinal distortion by pulling the spine using its own body weight.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-9630 discloses a “blood flow promoting reverse suspension device” as a device for correcting the spinal distortion by the action of attractive force and improving health.
This device sits on a body support bed, fixes an ankle, and rotates the bed in the vertical direction by computer control or the like.

  In the above-described “blood flow promoting reverse suspension device”, the body support bed rotates to −60 ° with respect to the horizontal axis while in the supine position, and the posture is close to a handstand. Since the head is down with the feet not on the ground, it is possible that the body will be strained and force will be applied to the body, and the spinal traction effect may be weakened.

  In addition, although the device has a posture close to a handstand, only the ankle fixing pad is used to fix the body, and there is a concern about safety. Some users may be afraid of becoming close to a handstand.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a spinal correction chair that has a higher spine traction effect, can be used safely and safely from children to the elderly, is simple to operate, and is easy to use.

The present invention has the following configuration in order to solve the above problems.
(1) A spinal correction chair characterized by having a structure in which the back plate collapses in the back direction with the joint portion as the center in a chair composed of a back plate, a seat plate, and a leg.
(2) The spinal correction chair as described in (1) above, wherein the back plate tilts downward from the horizontal in the back direction.
(3) The spinal correction chair as described in (1) or (2) above, wherein a back plate driving means is provided.
(4) The spinal correction chair as described in (3) above, wherein means for fixing the body to the back plate is provided.
In addition, you may use electric power, an air pressure, a gear, a spring, etc. for a drive means.

  Diseases such as tight hips and fifty shoulders are thought to arise from spinal distortion. Spine distortion can be attributed to the structural imbalance of the human skeleton, where the heaviest head in the body is supported by a thin neck.

  Therefore, in the present invention, the spine is pulled by using the weight of the head in the opposite direction to try to correct the spine distortion without difficulty, and the following remarkable effects are obtained.

  (1) The effect of correcting shoulder distortion is obtained, and the fifty shoulders and stoop are greatly improved.

  (2) The effect of correcting the distortion of the waist is obtained, and hernia and tight waist are improved promptly.

  (3) It has the effect of correcting spinal displacement, and whiplash is greatly improved.

  (4) It has the effect of correcting neck distortion and improves sleeping.

  (5) Since blood circulation in the blood is promoted, the shoulder stiffness is improved, and oxygen is supplied into the brain, so that the head is refreshed.

An example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The spinal correction chair of the present invention mainly comprises a leg 1, a seat plate 2, a back plate 3, a joint 4, a footrest 5, an operation button 6, a seat belt 7, a driving device 8, and a display 9 ([[ FIG. 1] and [FIG. 3]).

  A driving device 8 is provided in the lower part of the seat plate to serve as a driving means for the back plate 3. Although electric power is used here as a power source, air pressure, gears, springs, or the like may be used (see [FIG. 1]).

  The back plate 3 tilts slowly in the back direction through the driving means, and tilts up to −60 ° with respect to the horizontal axis (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 5).

  The operation is performed by the operation button 6 and connected by a cord from the vicinity of the joint (see FIG. 3). The operation button 6 includes two buttons, “front” and “rear”, which perform operations of “falling to the front” and “falling to the back”, respectively. In addition, it works by pressing each button and stops when you release your hand. The operation button 6 is equipped with a display 9 and displays the current angle in the range of + 90 ° to −60 °. The display 9 also displays the resting time after the back plate 3 is tilted (see [FIG. 2]).

  In addition, the seat belt 7 is equipped as a safety device to prevent the chair from falling off (see [FIG. 3]).

Furthermore, a material with low friction such as synthetic leather is used for the back plate 3, and when the back plate 3 is tilted to the back, the frictional resistance is reduced so that the traction effect of the spine can be obtained more.
In order to improve the usability, it is more preferable to use a cushioning material for the seat plate 2 and the back plate 3.

Example of use

(1) Sit deeply on the seat plate 2 and rest firmly on the back plate 3. Place the foot on the footrest 5 and fasten the seat belt 7 (see [FIG. 4]).
{Circle around (2)} Press and hold the “back” button of the operation button 6 and release it when it falls to the desired angle to stop it. Put your hands on the back board 3 in the shape of a long-sleeved person (see [Fig. 5]).
Hold this posture for 2 to 5 minutes (the blood flow collects in the head, so stop if you feel sick). At this time, it is more effective to swing the neck slowly from side to side.
During this time, the head, shoulders, waist, and other parts from the pelvis are pulled by the gravity of the head, and daily body distortions are gradually corrected.
(3) Press and hold the “Previous” button of the operation button 6 to return to the original position (+ 90 ° with respect to the horizontal axis).

Next, some examples of actually using a spinal correction chair will be given.
Example (1) Using a spinal correction chair of the present invention to a 43-year-old woman going to hospital with forty shoulders, the operation of tilting the back plate to −60 ° and resting for 3 minutes was repeated once a day for 3 days. . As a result, the forty shoulder symptoms almost healed and the arms could be raised.

Example (2) Using a spinal correction chair of the present invention to a 26-year-old man who has been unable to turn his / her neck because he / she used a personal computer for a long time at work. After going around, my neck started to turn.

Example (3) A 56-year-old man who suffered from a tight waist and had difficulty in walking, using the spine correction chair of the present invention, tilting the backboard to -60 ° and resting for 5 minutes took a 2-minute break I went there twice. As a result, the symptoms of tight waist were greatly improved, and it became possible to walk.
