Description

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

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, as a posture correcting device for correcting the posture of the stoop and the forward bending, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a chest belt 20 wound around the chest and a back provided at the upper center of the back side of the chest belt 20. A pair of single-hanging belts 40 (41, 42) extending from the left and right of the upper portion of the abutting portion 30 and the back-resting portion 30 to the chest side of the chest belt 20, and the back sides of both of the pair of single-hanging belts 40 An adjustment belt 50 having a fixed end 50a coupled to the chest belt 20 and a free end 50b extending downward from the fixed end 50a and detachably fixed to the chest belt 20, and the free end 50b of the adjustment belt 50 There is known an attitude correction device that can adjust the force of pulling the back side of the pair of one-sided belts 40 toward the chest belt 20 by changing the fixing position of the belt (for example, Patent Documents). ). In this posture correction device, by changing the fixing position of the free end 50b of the adjustment belt 50, it is possible to adjust the force for pulling the back side of the pair of one-sided belts 40 toward the chest belt 20. It is excellent in that it has a function of correcting the posture of the user.
In such a posture correction, pulling the adjustment belt 50 (51, 52 on the left and right) pulls the entire back support portion 30 downward, so that the end of the one-sided belt 40 wound around the base of the arm. This is accomplished by pulling the part towards the back. That is, the force for pulling the end portions of the adjustment belts 51 and 52 connected to the back support portion 30 shown in FIG. 11 in the direction of the abdomen as indicated by the arrow Y1 shown in FIG. The posture is corrected by pulling 30 downward and thereby lowering the belt belts 41 and 42 toward the center of the back as shown by the arrow Y2 in FIG.

However, in this posture correction apparatus 10, the adjustment belts 51 and 52 are connected to the back rest part 30 that is substantially fixed to the body by the chest side pieces 21 and 22 of the chest belt 20, and thus the following inconveniences are caused. was there.
A. The backrest 30 to which the adjustment belts 51 and 52 are connected as described above is substantially fixed to the body by the chest side pieces 21 and 22 as described above. Since it is absorbed by the back pad 30 and does not contribute to the force of pulling the one-sided belts 41 and 42 toward the center of the back, it does not contribute much to the correction of the posture.
B. As is clear from FIG. 11, the direction of the force for pulling the shoulder belts 41 and 42 that contributes to the correction of the posture should be substantially vertical (the direction along the spine). Since the direction of the pulling force Y1 is almost horizontal as shown in FIG. 11, the vertical component of the force is small, and in this respect, the pulling force of the adjusting belts 51 and 52 does not contribute to the posture correction. ing.

  C. Furthermore, in the conventional posture correction device 10, the single belts 41 and 42, the chest belt 20 and the adjustment belt 50 are all fixedly connected to the backrest 30 as described above. In the conventional posture correcting device 10 in which all the belts are connected to the single backrest portion 30 as described above, although the physique of the person who has the physique is considerably wide from the thin type to the obese type, As you can not pull the belt in the right direction. For this reason, there is a problem in that the posture cannot be corrected accurately depending on the physique of the user.

JP 2010-94328 A

The inconveniences as described above are as follows. In the case of B. In this case, the adjustment belts 51 and 52 are connected to the back rest 30 fixed to the body, and the force for pulling the adjustment belts 51 and 52 is transmitted to the shoulder belts 41 and 42 via the back rest 30. Therefore, the connection between the adjustment belts 51 and 52 and the backrest 30 is cut off so that the adjustment belts 51 and 52 are directly connected to the shoulder belts 41 and 42 irrespective of the backrest 30. It will be solved if it becomes.
In addition, C.I. In this case, since each belt is fixedly connected to one back support 30, the relationship between the back support 30 and each belt is eliminated.

  Therefore, the present invention disconnects the belt corresponding to the adjustment belt and the member corresponding to the backrest portion, and the belt corresponding to the adjustment belt is directly connected to the shoulder belt regardless of the member corresponding to the backrest portion. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a posture correcting device that exerts a force to efficiently correct the posture by directly applying the tension of the adjustment belt to the shoulder belt. Another object of the present invention is to provide a posture correction device that can exert posture correction force in the correct direction regardless of the physique of the person using the device.

The posture correction device of the present invention is a left and right chest belt that wraps around the base of the left and right arms, and in an attached state to the body, after its end intersects with the back surface, it is further wound around the side and abdomen, The left and right chest belts joined at the abdomen, and a backrest surface portion comprising a chest belt insertion portion through which the chest belt wound around the back surface slidably passes when worn on the body. And by adjusting the joining position of the left and right chest belt ends, it is possible to adjust the force of pulling the portion of the chest belt wound around the base of the arm toward the back side. It is a posture correction device.
Therefore, in the posture correction device of the present invention, a force for correcting the posture is generated by the force of pulling the free end portion of the chest belt when worn, but the free end portion of the chest belt directly extends from the upper portion of the shoulder to the back. Since the middle part is not fixed to the body and can slide freely, the force pulling the free end is directly applied to the upper part of the shoulder. Pull the part that passes from the back to the back and generate corrective force in the direction of stretching the chest. Accordingly, the force for pulling the free end portion of the chest belt is not absorbed by the back support surface portion and the force for pulling the one-sided belt is not diminished, and a strong correction force can be generated. In addition, since the force pulling the free end directly pulls the portion wound around the shoulder, the direction of pulling the chest belt wrapped around the shoulder is vertical (along the spine) as compared with the conventional posture correction device 10. ) Direction, the pulling force in the back direction is increased, and the effect of posture correction is significantly increased.
Furthermore, the chest belt and the backrest surface portion are only associated through the chest belt insertion portion into which the chest belt is slidably inserted, and the backrest surface portion is not fixed to the chest belt. Compared with the conventional posture correction device 10 in such a fixed state, the back support surface portion can move freely in the vertical direction with respect to the chest belt, so even if the user's physique is greatly different, the chest belt Therefore, the correct posture correction force is always exerted without causing the direction of the action to be incorrect such as being twisted or pulled.
There may be various modes for the chest belt insertion portion. For example, it is possible to include at least a first chest belt insertion portion that is wound around the base of the arm of the chest belt and through which the portion reaching the back surface through the upper portion of the arm is slidably passed. .
The chest belt insertion portion includes at least a second chest belt insertion portion that is wound around the base of the arm of the chest belt and through which a lower portion of the arm and a portion passing through the back surface pass slidably. You can also.
Furthermore, the chest belt insertion portion is wrapped around at least the base of the arm of the chest belt, and passes through the lower part of the arm and the back surface, and is wrapped around the base of the arm of the chest belt, It may be provided with a third chest belt insertion portion through which a free end after the portion passing through the back surface is slidably passed.
By configuring the backrest surface portion as an integrally provided template that prevents a variation in the distance between the first chest belt insertion portion and the second chest belt insertion portion, along the back It is possible to correct the spine at the set back surface.

  Since the posture correcting device of the present invention is configured as described above, the force for pulling the shoulder portion backward by the chest belt is effectively transmitted, and posture correction can be performed with a small force. In addition, since the belt has a function of changing the direction of the belt according to the user's physique, the chest belt is not kinked or biased depending on the physique, and a balanced posture correction is possible.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying 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 apparatus 10a illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6 includes left and right chest belts 20a wound around the bases (armpits) of the left and right arms. The chest belt 20a is partially or entirely made of a material that elastically expands and contracts in the belt longitudinal direction, such as rubber.
Further, the chest belt 20a, when worn on the body as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, is crossed on the back surface as shown in FIG. 9 (the crossed portion is referred to as an end 21a). As shown in Fig. 4, the armpit is wound around the side (this portion is referred to as an end portion 22a) and the abdomen (this portion is referred to as an end portion 23a), and joined by a joining means such as a face tape provided at the end portion 23a in the abdomen Is done.
Further, the posture correction device 10a includes chest belt insertion portions 25a, 26a, and 27a (see FIGS. 1, 3, and 5) through which the chest belt 20a wound around the back surface of the posture correction device 10a slidably passes. A back support surface 30a is provided.
As a result, by changing the joining position of the left and right chest belt end portions 23a, that is, by adjusting the tensile force of the chest belt 20a, the portion wound around the base of the arm of the chest belt 20a is changed to the rear side. The pulling force in the direction, that is, the force for correcting the posture can be adjusted.

More specifically, the chest belt 20a has a shoulder wrap portion 20-1a wound around the base of the left (or right) arm in the wearing state shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, and the shoulder wrap portion 20-. A first back wrap portion 20-2a, which is an extended portion of 1a and passes over the left (or right) shoulder and then is guided in the right (or left) direction from the back, and the shoulder wrap portion 20-1a After extending from the left (or right) armpit through the back to the right (or left) direction and connecting the free end of the first back wrap portion 20-2a with a rivet 24a, It consists of two belts composed of a second back wrap portion 20-3a that reaches the abdomen through the right (or left) waist.
As can be understood from FIG. 9, the first back wrap portion 20-2a coming from the right shoulder intersects the first back wrap portion 20-2a coming from the left shoulder at the center of the back and then reaches the rivet 24a. The second back wrap portion 20-3a coming from the right shoulder intersects with the second back wrap portion 20-3a coming from the left shoulder at the center of the back and then reaches the rivet 24a.
Joining means such as a face tape 28a is attached to the end of the chest belt 20a from the left (or right) shoulder to the abdomen, and the free ends of the left and right chest belts 20a are joined by the joining means at the abdomen. . Since the face tape 28a is horizontally long, the joining position can be freely changed. When the joining position by the face tape 28a is changed, the tension of the chest belt 20a can be changed.

  As shown in detail in FIG. 6, which is an enlarged view of the AA line in FIG. 1, and in FIG. 5, which is a perspective view of the back support surface portion 30 a, the back support surface portion 30 a is made of cloth, net, nonwoven fabric, or the like. It is a planar structure, and generally has a substantially bowl-shaped base 30-1a, and a surface opposite to the surface facing the back surface in the mounted state as shown in FIGS. In other words, the first to third tension cloth portions 30-2a, 30-3a, and 30-4a are partially sewn to the base material portion 30-1a.

  Thus, the back support portion 30a is wound around the base of the arm of the chest belt 20a, and the first back wrap portion 20-2a reaching the back surface through the upper portion of the arm (upper shoulder) passes slidably. The first chest belt insertion portions 25a, 25a to be wound and the second back wrap portion 20-3a which is wound around the arm base of the chest belt 20a and passes through the lower part of the arm (armpit) and the back surface slide The second chest belt insertion portions 26a and 26a that pass freely, and the second back wrap portion 20-3a after being joined to the free end of the first back wrap portion 20-2a by the rivet 24 are slid. And a third chest belt insertion portion 27a that passes freely.

  The one chest belt insertion portion 25a, 25a is formed by a gap between the base material portion 30-1a and the first tension cloth portion 30-2a partially sewn thereto. Similarly, the two chest belt insertion portions 26a and 26a are formed of a gap between the base material portion 30-1a and the second tension cloth portion 30-3a partially sewn thereto. . In addition, the third tension cloth portion 30-4a is formed by folding one piece of cloth into two and sewing it onto the base material portion 30-1a. The third chest belt insertion portions 27a, 27a It is comprised from the clearance gap formed in the folding | returning part of the tension | tensile_strength cloth part 30-4a.

In this embodiment, the base material part 30-1a, the first and second tension cloth parts 30-2a, 30-3a are all configured by a net-like plate-like body as shown in the drawing, and have good ventilation. It is.
In the mounted state of the posture correction device 10a, the body is symmetrical, so the back support surface 30a is disposed along the center line of the back.
With the configuration described above, when the posture correcting device 10a is mounted, the user wraps the chest belt 20a of the posture correcting device 10a around the shoulder as shown in FIG. 7 until a suitable tensile force is generated on the chest belt 20a. The end 23a of the chest belt 20a is pulled out in front of the body, and the end of the chest belt 20a is connected at that position by a joining means such as a face tape 28a attached to the end. Since it can be set easily, it can be installed in a short time. Further, if the tension of the chest belt 20a is felt to be too strong or too weak during the use of the posture correction apparatus 10a, the tension can be easily adjusted by changing the joining position of the joining means.

As described above, in the posture correction apparatus 10a of the present invention, the force for correcting the posture is generated by pulling the end portion 23a of the chest belt 20a when the device is worn, but the end portion 23a is directly or this Since it is connected to the first back wrap portion 20-2a passing through the back from the upper portion of the shoulder via the rivet 24a so as to act as one belt as in the embodiment, the force pulling the end portion 23a is The first back wrap portion 20-2a is pulled directly or through the rivet 24a as in this embodiment to generate a correction force in the direction of stretching the chest. Therefore, compared with a conventional posture correction device that pulls the shoulder belt through the back pad portion that is substantially fixed to the body, the force pulling the end portion 23a of the chest belt 20a is absorbed by the back pad portion so that the shoulder belt is The pulling force is not diminished, and the correction force can be generated directly, so there is no need to apply unnecessary force to the belt. Further, the force for pulling the end portion 23a is pulled directly or through the rivet 24a as in this embodiment, so that the direction of the force applied to the back support portion is determined. Compared with the conventional posture correction device 10 that generates almost no vertical component force acting on the backrest in the horizontal direction, the force for pulling the chest belt wrapped around the shoulder in the back direction is increased, so the effect of posture correction is increased. Increases significantly.
Furthermore, the chest belt 20a and the backrest surface portion 30a are associated with each other only through the first to third chest belt insertion portions (25a, 26a, 27a) into which the chest belt 20a is slidably inserted. Thus, since the back support surface portion 30a is not fixed to the chest belt 20a, the back support surface portion 30a can freely move in the vertical direction with respect to the chest belt 20a as compared with the conventional posture correction device 10 fixed to the body. Since it can move, even if the physique of the user is greatly different, the acting direction of the chest belt 20a does not become an incorrect direction such as being twisted or pulled, and always accurate posture correction force Is demonstrated.

  In the summer posture correcting device 10a, it is preferable that a large number of well-ventilated openings are formed in the backrest surface portion 30a. Therefore, as in this embodiment, it is desirable to configure most of the back support surface 30a with a net-like planar body with good wind passage. However, the deformation of the shape of the back support surface portion 30a is not desirable for correcting the bending of the back. Therefore, it is preferable to sew a planar template 31a into the back support surface portion 30a.

Next, a procedure for mounting the posture correction apparatus 10a according to the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the posture correcting apparatus 10 a according to this embodiment has the chest belt 20 a inserted into the first to third chest belt insertion portions 25 a, 26 a, and 27 a of the backrest surface portion 30 a from the beginning. ing. In this state, the arm is passed through the chest belt 20a of the posture correction device 10a, and the posture correction device 10a is worn on the body. The attached state is shown in FIG.

  When the end portions 23a, 23a of the chest belt 20a are pulled toward the front of the body from this state as shown in FIG. 7, a first back wrap portion 20-2a integrated with the end portion 23a, and a second back wrap portion 20-3a is pulled, and the back wrapping portion and the series of shoulder wrapping portions 20-1a are pulled backward in the body to correct the posture.

  If the posture is corrected moderately, the user joins the chest belt end portions 23a and 23a using the joining means such as the face tape 28a provided there. Since the joining state of the joining means such as the face tape is stable, the posture correction state is maintained.

  If the posture correction force becomes loose or feels too tight, it can be adjusted to a desired correction force by loosening the bonding means and changing the bonding position. When it is desired to remove the posture correction device 10a, it is only necessary to remove the joining means and remove the posture correction device 10a from the back.

  In the posture correction tool 10a according to this embodiment, a force for correcting the posture is generated by the force of pulling the end portion 23a of the chest belt 20a when the device is worn, but the end portion 23a is directly or in this embodiment. Since it is connected to the first back wrap portion 20-2a passing through the back from the upper portion of the shoulder through the rivet 24a so as to act as one belt, the force pulling the end portion 23a is directly Alternatively, as in this embodiment, the first back wrap portion 20-2a is pulled through the rivet 24a to generate a correction force in the direction of stretching the chest.

  Therefore, as compared with the conventional posture correction device 10 that pulls the shoulder belt through the back support portion that is substantially fixed to the body, the force that pulls the end portion 23a of the chest belt 20a is absorbed by the back support portion and the shoulder belt. The force that pulls the arm is not reduced, and the correction force can be generated directly. Further, the force pulling the end portion 23a is pulled directly or through the rivet 24 as in the present embodiment, so that the direction of the force applied to the back support portion is determined. Compared with the conventional posture correction device 10 that generates almost no vertical component force acting on the backrest in the horizontal direction, the force for pulling the chest belt wrapped around the shoulder in the back direction is increased, so the effect of posture correction is increased. Increases significantly.

  Furthermore, the chest belt 20a and the backrest surface portion 30a are associated with each other only through the first to third chest belt insertion portions (25a, 26a, 27a) into which the chest belt 20a is slidably inserted. Thus, since the back support surface portion 30a is not fixed to the chest belt 20a, the back support surface portion 30a can be freely moved vertically with respect to the chest belt 20a as compared with the conventional posture correcting device 10 in such a fixed state. Therefore, even if the physique of the user is greatly different, the action direction of the chest belt 20a does not become an incorrect direction that is twisted or pulled, and accurate posture correction is always performed. Power is demonstrated.

  As a joining means for joining the free ends 23a and 23a, there are a surface tape such as a magic tape, a hook, and the like. In particular, a surface tape that can be fixed at any position is preferable. In the illustrated example, hook-side surface tapes are provided on the back surfaces of the end portions 23a, 23a, and loop-side surface tapes are provided on the surface of the chest belt 20a. Accordingly, the end portions 23a and 23a can be located at arbitrary positions. In particular, the end portions 23a and 23a can be fixed at various positions by making the area of the loop-side surface tape provided at one end portion 23a much larger than the hook-side surface tape provided at the other end. It becomes possible, and the force which pulls the chest belt 20a can be controlled widely.

  The present invention relates to an appliance worn on a body to correct a posture such as a human spine.
