Description

  The present invention relates to a posture correction wearing device worn from a chest to a shoulder.

2. Description of the Related Art A posture correction wearing tool for correcting the position of a stoop or leaning forward is known that includes a back pad, a pair of shoulder belts, and a pair of waist bands (for example, Patent Document 1). In this posture correction wearing device, one end of the waist band is coupled to both side edges below the backrest, and the other ends can be disconnected from each other. One end of the shoulder belt is coupled to the left and right corners of the upper edge of the upper part of the back support part, provided with loop parts for passing the left and right arms, and inserted into the belt insertion guide part provided at the lower part of the back support part. The other end can be disconnected from the waist band.
This posture correction wearing device is used by putting an arm through a loop of a shoulder belt, placing a back rest on a back, and wrapping a waist band around an abdomen. By changing the connecting position of the other end of the shoulder belt, it is possible to tighten the shoulder belt loop, pull both shoulders to the back side, and extend the back muscles.

In addition, as another posture correction wearing device, the back support part, the upper shoulder piece extending above both sides of the back support part, and the lateral extension from both sides of the back support part are multiplied by the front part of the body. There are known ones including a front matching part and a front shoulder piece extending from the top of each front matching part and detachably engaged with an end of the upper shoulder piece (for example, a patent) Reference 2). In this posture correction wearing tool, a back support portion side elastic band piece crossed by a back support portion and a front side elastic band piece extending to the side edge of the front mating portion are fixed.

In the posture correction wearing device of Patent Document 1, when the other end of the shoulder belt is moved away from the hand holding the other end, the shoulder belt is loosened and the back rest is applied. There is a possibility that the upper side of the part is separated from the back. That is, the wearing state tends to become unstable when adjusting the tension of the shoulder belt.
The posture correction wearing tool of Patent Document 2 cannot adjust the tension of the backrest side elastic band and the front elastic band. Therefore, even when the posture correction force is too strong or too weak, the posture correction force cannot be adjusted.
Moreover, since the posture correction mounting tool of patent document 1 and 2 covers the whole upper body from a shoulder part to a waist | hip | lumbar part, when it becomes thin, the backrest part which covers the whole back is conspicuous.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a posture correction wearing tool that can adjust the tension of the shoulder belt and that can be stably worn when the tension is adjusted. Another object of the present invention is to provide a posture correction wearing tool that is not noticeable even if it is thinly worn.

  The posture correction wearing device of the present invention includes a chest belt that is wrapped around the chest, a back support portion provided at an upper center of the back side of the chest belt, and a chest side of the chest belt from the left and right of the upper portion of the back support portion. An adjustment belt having a pair of shoulder belts extending to the rear, a fixed end coupled to the back side of both of the pair of shoulder belts, and a free end extending downward from the fixed end and detachably fixed to the chest belt And by adjusting the fixing position of the free end of the adjustment belt, the force for pulling the back side of the pair of shoulder belts toward the chest belt can be adjusted.

  The posture correction wearing device of the present invention is worn by putting a shoulder belt on a shoulder, placing a back rest on a back, and wrapping a chest belt around the chest. And the tension | tensile_strength which pulls a shoulder belt to the direction of a chest belt (namely, downward) can be adjusted by changing the fixing position of the free end of an adjustment belt. When the free end of the adjustment belt is fixed in an appropriate position, the back side of the shoulder belt is pulled downward, whereby the shoulder is pulled in the back direction, the back muscles are extended, and the posture is corrected.

  The posture correction wearing tool of the present invention can adjust the posture correction force because the tension of the shoulder belt can be adjusted by the adjustment belt. In addition, since the posture correction wearing device of the present invention is worn by the chest belt, the back pad and the shoulder belt, the wearing state is stable even while the tension is adjusted by the adjusting belt. In addition, since the posture correction wearing device of the present invention covers only the upper side from the chest, the back pad covers only the upper half of the back, so that even if it becomes thin, it is not noticeable.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, terms indicating specific directions and positions (for example, “up”, “down”, “right”, “left” and other terms including those terms) are used as necessary. . The use of these terms is to facilitate understanding of the invention with reference to the drawings, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited by the meaning of these terms. Moreover, the part of the same code | symbol which appears in several drawing shows the same part or member.

  The posture correction wearing device 10 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 includes a chest belt 20 that is wrapped around the chest of the torso, a back support unit 30 provided at the upper center of the back side 23 of the chest belt 20, and a back support. A pair of shoulder belts 40 extending from the left and right upper portions of the portion 30 to the chest sides 21 and 22 of the chest belt 20. A separate adjustment belt 50 is provided on the back side of the posture correction wearing device 10.

  The chest belt 20 is wound around the chest from the back through the left and right armpits (FIGS. 4 to 6). By locking the ends of the chest side pieces 21 and 22 of the chest belt 20 to each other, the chest belt 20 is firmly fixed to the chest.

  The shoulder belt 40 includes a right shoulder belt 41 hung on the right shoulder and a left shoulder belt 42 hung on the left shoulder. 1 to 3, each shoulder belt 40 forms a loop-like space through which the arm is inserted. When the posture correction wearing tool 10 is worn, the left and right arms are inserted into the loop-shaped space.

  The back pad 30 is disposed along the center line of the back and connects the chest belt 20 and the shoulder belt 40.

As shown in FIG. 1, the adjustment belt 50 has a fixed end 50 a coupled to both rear surfaces of the pair of shoulder belts 40, and a free end 50 b extending downward. When the free end 50b of the adjustment belt 50 is brought closer to the chest belt 20 side, the interval between the shoulder belt 40 and the chest belt 20 on the back side becomes narrower. At the time of wearing, the chest belt 20 is tightly wound around the chest so as not to slip up. Therefore, when the interval between the shoulder belt 40 and the chest belt 20 becomes narrow, the shoulder belt 40 is pulled downward on the back side. Since the shoulder is also pulled downward by the shoulder belt 40, the back is stretched and the posture is corrected.
As described above, the posture forcing force is adjusted by adjusting the tension of the shoulder belt 40 by changing the fixing position of the free end 50b of the adjusting belt 50 (substantially, the fixing position with respect to the chest belt 20). Can do.

The free end 50b of the adjustment belt 50 can be fixed directly or indirectly to the chest belt.
As the direct fixing, for example, there is a form in which the free end 50b of the adjustment belt 50 is directly fixed to the chest belt 20 by a detachable fixing means (for example, a face tape).
As an indirect fixing, there is a form in which a fixing member is interposed between the free end 50 b of the adjustment belt 50 and the chest belt 20.

Hereinafter, the indirect fixing mode will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
1 to 3, extension belts 51 and 52 are interposed between the free end 50 b of the adjustment belt 50 and the chest belt 20.
The extension belts 51 and 52 extend from the free end 50 b of the adjustment belt 50 to the left and right. The free ends 51b and 52b of the extension belts 51 and 52 can be detachably fixed to the surface of the chest belt 20 by fixing means such as a face tape.
When the free ends 51b and 52b of the extension belts 51 and 52 are fixed to the chest belt 20, the position of the adjustment belt 50 can be changed by changing the fixing position. As a result, the tension of the shoulder belt 40 can be adjusted, and the posture correction force can be adjusted.

Since the lengths of the extension belts 51 and 52 are arbitrary, the lengths are adjusted so that the free ends 51b and 52b of the extension belts 51 and 52 are positioned so as to be easily gripped by hand (for example, the body side or the chest position). Is preferred. Thereby, the fixed position of the adjustment belt 50 can be adjusted on the body side or the chest side.
That is, by providing the extension belts 51 and 52, the fixing position of the adjustment belt 50 can be changed within a range that can be easily reached by the wearer. Accordingly, when the posture correction wearing tool 10 is worn, it can be easily set to an appropriate posture correction force, so that it can be worn in a short time. In addition, if the tension of the shoulder belt 40 is felt too strong or too weak during use of the posture correction wearing device 10, the tension can be adjusted immediately.

  The posture correction wearing device 10 of the present invention is designed to cover only the upper side of the chest belt 20 when worn. Therefore, even if the posture correction wearing tool 10 is worn under the thin clothing through which the clothing can be seen through, it is not noticeable that the device is worn. Further, since the posture correction wearing tool 10 does not reach the waist, it can be worn under the clothes designed to squeeze around the waist without breaking the clothes line.

  In addition, in the posture correction mounting device 10 for summer, it is preferable that the opening 33 is formed in the backrest portion 30. Since it diverges from the opening 33 when sweating, a cool wearing feeling is obtained.

A procedure for mounting the posture correction mounting tool 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.
The posture correction wearing device 10 is held so that the backrest 30 is on the inside and the adjustment belt 50 is on the outside (FIG. 3). Then, the right arm is inserted into the loop of the right shoulder belt 41, the left arm is inserted into the loop of the left shoulder belt 42, and the backrest portion 30 is applied to the center of the back. The chest side pieces 21 and 22 of the chest belt 20 are extended to the front of the chest and locked together (FIG. 5). In the example of FIG. 5, a hook-side surface tape is provided on the back side of the end of the right chest piece 22, and a loop-side surface tape is provided on the surface 21 a of the left chest piece 21. The end of the right chest piece 22 is fixed at an arbitrary position on the surface 21 a of the left chest piece 21.

  Thereafter, the free ends 51b and 52b of the extension belts 51 and 52 of the adjustment belt 50 are held in their hands and pulled forward (FIG. 5). Then, the free ends 51b and 52b of the extension belts 51 and 52 are fixed to the surfaces 21a and 22a of the chest belt 20 (the chest side pieces 21 and 22 in the figure) (FIG. 4). Thereby, the adjustment belt 50 can be extended downward, and the shoulder belt 40 can be pulled downward (FIG. 6). If the position where the free ends 51b and 52b are fixed is moved downward, the adjustment belt 50 can be extended further downward.

  As a fixing means for fixing the free ends 51b and 52b, there are a surface tape, a hook, and the like. In particular, a surface tape that can be fixed at an arbitrary position is preferable. In the example of FIGS. 2 and 5, hook-side surface tapes are provided on the back surfaces of the free ends 51 b and 52 b, and the surface of the chest belt 20 (the chest side pieces 21 and 22 in the figure) A loop-side surface tape is provided on the surfaces 21a and 22a) of 22. Thereby, the free ends 51b and 52b can be fixed at an arbitrary position on the surface of the chest belt 20. In particular, the free ends 51b and 52b can be fixed at various positions by making the area of the loop-side face tape provided on the chest belt 20 much larger than the hook-side face tape provided on the free ends 51b and 52b.
