This corset is substantially bilaterally symmetrical, and the left side of the back thereof will be described below, and the right side has the same configuration symmetrically.

(Outline Configuration) As shown in FIG. 1, a frame type corset according to an embodiment of the present invention has
The pelvis is attached along the back of the pelvis and has a thoracic support plate 3 having a hinge 2 at its center (spine column) and a pelvis connected to the lower part at the center (the sacrum part of the wearer) by dividing it into two sides. A pair of left and right pelvic (iliac) support plates 5 attached to the back of the part mounting band 4, respectively, and the left and right points of the hinge part 2 of the rib cage support plate 3 on both sides of the central part; A paravertebral opening / closing column 6 pivotally connected to each of the separated ends of the pelvis mounting band 4 in parallel with each other.

The left ends of the thoracic support plate 3 and the pelvis support plate 5 are connected to each other by an outer front cross-sliding anti-stretch elastic strut 7 described later.

The elastic strut 7 and the paravertebral column opening / closing strut 6
Between the upper thoracic support plate 3 and the lower pelvic support plate 5 in the middle, a V-shaped side support 8 and a concave-side opposing cross tension elastic spring 9, and elasticity between the chest / pelvic support plate String 1
Zero and back tension elastic struts 11 are respectively provided.

The upper / lower thorax / pelvis attachment band 1 /
Between the four, a lumbar spine extension suspension support belt 12 and a body tightening belt 13 are provided.

(Detailed Configuration / Function) The above-mentioned main components and related detailed configuration / function will be described below.

The thoracic support plate 3 is made of a leaf spring member having a width of about 4 cm, such as an aluminum alloy, for example, lauter or the like, and is connected to two substantially symmetrical leaves via hinges at the center (spine column). It is pivotally attached to each other, has a shape pressed and molded on a human thorax model or the like (not shown), and is configured to be foldable on the front inner side via the hinge 2.

The paravertebral column opening / closing column 6 is made of the same material as that of the rib cage support plate 3, for example, a leaf spring member having a thickness of about 3 cm and 1.5 times the thickness of lautal, etc., and opens and closes with the rib cage support plate 3 with low friction. The pin is rotatably and slidably connected, and the lower end is a pelvis attachment band 4.
It is pivotally attached to the inner end.

Above the center in the vertical direction of the paravertebral column opening / closing column 6, a support hole 14 penetrating the back tension elastic column 11 is provided. It is slidably supported in the direction.

A plurality of support holes 16 are provided below the vertical portion of the opening / closing column 6 so that elastic strings (elastic) cords 15 for adjusting the distance between the opening / closing columns can be moved in the horizontal direction. The width between six is adjustable.

Further, the lower end of the paravertebral column opening / closing column 6 is formed as a movable end which is not directly connected to the pelvis supporting plate 5 but can slide up and down by about 10 cm. Is provided approximately 12 cm above the lower end of the elastic elastic cord 10 between the rib cage / pelvis support plate 3/5 and the horizontal support hole 17 on the end of the pelvis support plate 5 and the lower end 12 cm above the support post 6. The center portion is adjustably connected to the end of the right elastic elastic cord 10 at the center portion via the lateral support hole 17, so that each lower end portion of each opening / closing column 6 has a magic tape (registered trademark) type bite. The cloth tape 21 is provided so that the occlusal connection can be performed so as to be adjustable.

A body tightening belt 13 for tightening the entire corset is passed through a gap between the longitudinally extending portions of the open / close columns 6 and the longitudinally extending portions of the stretchable elastic cord 15 and the columns 6.

The V-shaped side struts 8 are formed by using the rib cage support plate 3 as a beam, and the lower ends of the two side struts 8 of substantially the same members as the opening / closing struts 6 are attached to the outside of the pelvis support wall 5. It is superimposed on a substantially fulcrum 18 at the center and, like the upper end support portion of the paravertebral column opening / closing strut 6, is supported by an inverted isosceles triangle so as to be rotatable and slidable with low friction. As a shaft-rotating rod operating body, resilient support and instantaneous mobility are provided by adding a mechanical element as described above to a corset of this type, instead of a mere supporting / correcting device as in a conventional corset. To this end, a concave-side opposed cross tension spring 9 having an arc-shaped beam as shown in the figure is incorporated through each through-support hole 14, and the support interval adjustment between the thorax / pelvis support plate 3/5 is adjusted. The elastic cord 15 is, for example, a synthetic rubber cord having strong elasticity. Which was subjected to compression weave skin, not only the function as a simple still strut thoracic portion with respect to the pelvic section, the trunk of the wearer who succumbed before supra in manner for product 杆作,
Along with adding auxiliary mobility to stretch backwards,
In order to provide a lumbar spine extension suspending support belt 12 of a corset frame for suspending the wearer's lumbar spine from the back to the front center side, at a position below the mechanical V-shaped side strut 8 in the vertical center. As shown in the figure, two suspension supports 19 on one side with cylindrical rollers are welded and installed between the front and rear V-shaped side supports 8 in the form of a horizontal ladder, thereby reinforcing the supports 8. It is intended.

The hanging support rod 19 is intended to enhance and stabilize the function of the spring device of the V-shaped side support 8, and this combination is a novel mechanism that can be a dynamic source for the corset effect. It is.

Next, the outer front cross-sliding anti-stretch elastic strut 7 is provided.
Supplements the forward-backward tilting movement of the V-shaped side support 8,
It is equivalent to the front edges of both side walls of the corset which cooperates with the paravertebral column 6 with the U-shaped side column 8 interposed therebetween. The two tension springs are loosely bundled, and each end is thoracic / pelvic, respectively. Each of the support plates 3/5 is pivotally locked to the support plate 3/5, and a ring 20 having a support hole for supporting each column is provided at a central portion as shown in FIG.

The pelvis support plate 5 is independent of the left and right, not directly connected to each other at the central spine as described above. The pelvis support plate 5 has a thicker paraspinal opening / closing column 6 than the upper thoracic support plate 3. By using the same member, the aforementioned V-shaped side support 8
After setting the rotation axis fulcrum 18 at the lower apex of the V-shaped side support 8 after being pressed and molded into a human pelvis model (not shown) similarly to the thorax support plate 3, In the part of the wearer's body that is slightly posterior to the iliac anterior superior spine,
The load and exercise load on the lower lumbar spine are reduced.

Further, the thoracic / pelvis mounting band 1/4
Is made of, for example, a hard woven material of acrylic fiber having a heat insulating property, which is a material capable of withstanding the tacking strength between the upper and lower corresponding support boards 3/5, and about 1: 1 for each support board 3/5. Each support plate 3 with a margin of .5cm
/ 5 does not protrude during the movement of the wearer, and both ends of each of them are configured with the above-mentioned magic tape type occlusion tape fastener (not shown).

Next, as the waist suspension support belt 12, a belt having a width of about 8 cm made of, for example, hard woven acrylic fiber, similar to the thorax / pelvis wearing belt 1/4, is used.
To the belt-hanging support rod 19 provided at the V-shaped intermediate portion of
First, it hangs on the front between the front bars, turns both ends inward toward the rear bar, turns inward and outward on the rear surface of the rear bar, and forcibly enough on the basis of the roller effect of the support bar 19 forward and outward. Then, the both ends of the belt are overlapped on the front part of the lower abdomen of the wearer, and the magic tape type articulating tape is fastened in the same manner as in the both wearing bands 1/4.

Next, since the body tightening belt 13 is required to have a general function under a certain sliding property, it is made of, for example, a vinyl band, and in front of the outside thereof, the rotary sliding ring of the cross-sliding anti-stretch elastic column 7 is provided. The body tightening belt 13 is sewn between the front and rear portions 20 and the intersection of the elastic struts 7 so as to double as a belt hook.

The back tension elastic strut 11 is, as described above, an elastic strut that allows the paraspinal opening / closing strut 6 to slide in the up / down / left / right direction through the through-support hole 14. A shape that can well cope with the fore-and-aft curvature of the column 6,
As an arrangement.

Further, the annular end of each back tension elastic strut 11 and the thorax / pelvis support plate 3 / upper end of the V-shaped side strut 8 upper end.
The inner and outer double rivets (not shown) are used for joining with the inner and outer rivets. First, the joining between each end of each column and each supporting board is performed by using the outer cylinder rivet, and then each of the inner cylinder rivets is used. Wearing band 1/4
Also attached.

Each of the tension elastic struts 11 is made of, for example, a steel wire having a diameter of about 3 mm and having the same diameter as that of a piano wire or the like.
Of the thorax / pelvis support plate 3/5 with appropriate arc-shaped flexures.

(Other Embodiments) The main components of the corset of the present embodiment have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the shapes and shapes of the corsets may be changed without departing from the object of the present invention. It goes without saying that the material or the connecting means of each related member may be variously modified.
