Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a back muscle correction tool that corrects the back muscles of a human body so as to extend correctly.
[0002]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Several correction tools have been proposed to correct the back muscles of the human body so that they can be stretched correctly. However, they are generally intended to fix the back muscles in the correct posture. In order to work or live daily while wearing this, it is intended to fix the back muscles in the correct posture by applying a strip-like member that is not flexible and is equivalent to the back. There was a problem that the freedom of movement of the body was remarkably limited, it was extremely tight, and it was easy to get tired. In addition, there are many structures that are troublesome to attach to and detach from the human body, and there is a problem that it is difficult to use easily.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention is easy to put on and take off and can be worn easily, and it is more suitable for body movement than a type of orthodontic appliance that fixes the back muscles by placing a stretchable or inflexible plate-like member on the back. High degree of freedom, work with little cramped feeling while wearing, easy to live in daily life, and can correct back muscles, especially a bad posture with the back curled up like a stoop, to a back muscle that can be straightened It is an object to provide a correction tool.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention
A back plate member which is applied to the wearer's back and can be extended vertically along the back muscles and can be bent along the back but is substantially non-stretchable;
A flat tubular member that is externally fitted to the back plate member so that the height position in the vertical direction can be adjusted and can be bent along the back, but substantially non-stretchable as a whole,
A pair of left and right shoulder belts having stretchability, each having an upper end connected to the upper end of the back plate member and a lower end connected to the left and right ends of the flat tubular member;
A torso belt that has elasticity that is connected to the lower end of the back plate member, and that can be worn around the torso of the wearer;
A spine correction tool is provided.
[0005]
The person who wants to wear the back muscle correction tool can be used simply by stretching the back muscles correctly and hanging the left and right shoulder belts on the left and right shoulders and turning the torso belt around the torso. To remove it, simply remove the torso belt and the left and right shoulder belts from both shoulders. Therefore, it can be easily attached to and detached from the human body and can be easily worn.
[0006]
When the right and left shoulder belts are hung on the left and right shoulders while the back is stretched correctly, and the torso belt is attached to the torso, the elastic left and right shoulder belts and torso belts are the shoulder and torso of the wearer. It is attached in close contact with.
[0007]
The back plate member to which the shoulder belt is connected is substantially non-stretchable and hardly deforms due to expansion and contraction, and the flat cylindrical member to which the lower end portion of the shoulder belt is connected is located inside the back plate member. The position of the shoulder belt is such that the portion positioned is sandwiched between the back plate member and the wearer and is not easily displaced, and since the flat tubular member is substantially non-stretchable as a whole, it is difficult to deform. The close-fitting state is maintained as it is, with the deviation suppressed. Since the torso belt is also worn around the torso of the wearer, the tightly attached state can be maintained as it is, with the displacement being suppressed.
[0008]
Thus, the back plate member is applied to the wearer's back and extends vertically along the back muscles, and the upper end is supported by the left and right shoulder belts while the lower end is the wearer. It is supported by a body belt attached to the body of the body. Thus, the back plate member is less likely to be displaced or deformed.
[0009]
In this state, if the wearer tries to take a bad posture that causes the back to bend, such as a stooped posture, the back plate member that is supported by the upper and lower ends and substantially not stretchable resists this, If the posture is suppressed, and if the posture is shifted to a bad posture, a large tension is applied to the back plate member, which places a heavy load on the human body, so that the wearer is not He tries to return to the correct posture with his back straight. In this way, it is corrected to the correct posture with the back muscles extended.
[0010]
Each of the back plate member and the flat tube member has the flexibility described above, so that there is some degree of freedom in the movement of the wearer, and the wearer is curled from the correct posture in which the back is stretched. When it tries to collapse, it can be bent slightly. Therefore, the wearer does not cause extreme cramping and discomfort against the collapse of his / her posture, and he / she can work with little cramping feeling while wearing or can easily live daily.
[0011]
The above “substantially non-stretchability” cannot be said to be non-stretchable, but is considered to be non-stretchable from the viewpoint of solving the problems of the present invention and achieving the effect. A case may be included.
[0012]
Since the above-mentioned flat cylindrical member can be adjusted in the vertical position with respect to the back plate member, the vertical position of the back plate member can be adjusted according to the physique of the wearer. For the same wearer, the tension applied to the shoulder belt by adjusting the vertical position, and thus the tension in the vertical direction of the back plate member, are adjusted, thereby adjusting the strength of the corrective action of the back plate member. It is also possible to do.
[0013]
The back plate member and the flat tubular member have air permeability so that the occurrence of discomfort such as stuffiness due to perspiration from the human body is suppressed even when worn for a long time. It is desirable.
[0014]
For example, the back plate member can be a substantially non-stretchable member having a mesh structure air permeability and the flexibility described above.
[0015]
Further, as a flat cylindrical member, a substantially non-stretchable inner side that has a breathability of a mesh structure arranged inside the back plate member and a flexibility that can be bent along the back of the wearer. A plate-shaped member and a breathable outer cover member disposed outside the back plate member, and the left and right ends of the inner plate member and the outer cover member are the back plate members. What is comprised by being respectively connected by the right-and-left outer side of can be illustrated.
[0016]
The outer cover member in the flat tubular member may be a member that can be expanded and contracted in the vertical direction according to the bending of the inner plate member. Even if the outer cover member has such elasticity, the inner plate-like member is substantially non-stretchable, so that the entire flat cylindrical member is substantially non-stretchable.
[0017]
The body belt includes a right belt having one end connected to the right end of the lower end of the back plate member and a fastener at the free other end, and one end to the left end of the lower end of the back plate. And a left belt having a fastener portion connectable to the fastener portion at the free other end portion.
[0018]
The belt fastener for attaching the torso to the torso of the torso belt (the fastener for connecting the left and right belts in the above example) is not limited thereto, but the torso of the torso in the torso belt wearing state according to the wearer's physique A so-called planar fastener is desirable so that the length (in other words, the belt tightening position) can be easily adjusted. The planar fastener is a fastener portion in which one of the belt portions connected to each other of the belt is provided with a large number of hooks arranged in a plane and the other is a plurality of loops to which the hooks can be engaged and disengaged. It is a fastener which is a fastener portion provided in a planar manner.
