Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To provide a supporter that is effective in correcting a "flat waist" posture and reducing fatigue caused by flexion and extension of the hip joint. [Structure] A tension belt (2) made of a highly contractible (elastic) material or a low extensibility material is provided between the body belt (1) and the lower limb belt (3).

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a hip joint supporter which is worn during exercise or work and is effective for improving posture and reducing fatigue.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, there has been no supporter for assisting the bending and stretching of the hip joint. In addition, it was said that it is better to wear something that can be worn while exercising or working, so that it can grow without resistance so as not to interfere with movement.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 One of the postures that are generally said to be harmful during exercise or work is the so-called “low waist” posture in which the waist is pulled backward. With the conventional technology, it was not possible to intentionally correct the "low waist" by what was worn. The present invention has been made to eliminate this drawback.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The trunk belt (1) and the lower limb belt (3) are connected by a tension belt (2) made of a highly shrinkable (elastic) material or a low extensible material. The present invention is a hip joint supporter having the above structure.

[0005]

[Action]

 The torso belt (1) on the waist (any place above the hip joint), the leg belt (3) on the thigh (any place below the hip joint), and the tension belt (2) on the back of the hip joint (that is, the buttocks). Wear it so that it passes. When the hip joint is bent in this state, the tension belt (2) is stretched to increase the tension. This tension inhibits further bending of the hip joint and, conversely, it causes the hip joint to extend. Also, the deeper the bend, the greater the tension.

【Example】

 Example 1 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing Example 1, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a usage state of Example 1. A tension belt (2) made of a highly shrinkable (elastic) material or a low extensibility material is provided between the body belt (1) and the leg belt (3). Although the number of tension belts (2) is two in FIGS. 1 and 2, it may be one if there is no inconvenience at the joint portion with the lower limb belt (3), or conversely, many. This proposal has the above-mentioned structure. When using this, the torso belt (1) can be used for the waist (any place above the hip joint) and the leg belt (3) for the thigh (any place below the hip joint). Then, attach the tension belt (2) so that it passes through the back surface of the hip joint (that is, the buttocks). By exercising in this state, the hip joint can be prevented from being unnecessarily bent, and it becomes easier to maintain a good posture.

Second Embodiment FIG. 3 is a front view showing a usage state of the second embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a rear view thereof. In the second embodiment, the wearing position of the lower limb belt is below the knee. The tension belt that passes through the back of the hip joint intersects and reaches the front of the knee joint because it imparts extension force to both the hip and knee joints at the same time.

Third Embodiment FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a method of fixing the lower end of the tension belt (2), which is a feature of the third embodiment. In the third embodiment, the tension belt (2) of the first or second embodiment is extended to the foot and hooked around the heel or the arch to fix the tension belt (2).

Fourth Embodiment FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a method of fixing the lower end of the tension belt (2), which is a feature of the fourth embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the tension belt (2) extended in the same manner as in the third embodiment has the leading end fixed to the sock-like portion (8) to support the tension.

Fifth Embodiment FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a fifth embodiment. In the fifth embodiment, the body belt (1), the tension belt (2) and the lower limb belt (3) are integrally made of the same material.

Sixth Embodiment FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a usage state of the sixth embodiment. The structure of Example 6 has a structure in which a body belt equivalent part (5), a tension belt equivalent part (6) and a lower limb belt equivalent part (7) are arranged in corresponding parts such as pants, tights and pants. ing. Any of the above Examples 1 to 5 and Example 7 may be applied.

Example 7 FIG. 9 is a rear view showing a method of fixing the upper end of the tension belt (2), which is a feature of Example 7. In the seventh embodiment, the extension of the upper end of the tension belt (2) is trouser suspension, and the tension is mainly supported by the shoulders.

Embodiment 8 Regarding the method of closing the loops of the body belt (1) and the lower limb belt (3) in the above-mentioned Embodiments 1 to 7, a fixed type such as sewing or adhesion, a magic tape or the like is used. It may be removable, adjustable, removable or adjustable.

Ninth Embodiment Regarding the method of connecting the body belt (1) and the tension belt (2) and the lower limb belt (3) and the tension belt (2) in the above first to eighth embodiments, sewing or stitching is performed. Any of a fixed type such as adhesion and integration, a detachable type using a velcro, an adjustable type, an attachable / detachable and adjustable type may be used.

Example 10 When the supporter of the present invention is used while being turned upside down, the extension of the hip joint will be burdened, which is effective for training to extend the hip joint by one's own efforts.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 By using the hip joint supporter according to the present invention, the posture of the "back waist" with the waist pulled back unnecessarily is improved. Can be expected. In addition, since the flexion of the hip joint is reduced both quantitatively and temporally, fatigue of muscle groups supporting the flexion posture (such as the front of the thigh) is reduced. Furthermore, the presence of a force that assists the extension of the hip joint also reduces fatigue of the muscle groups involved in the extension of the hip joint (back muscles, buttocks, back of thighs, etc.).
