Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a posture correction warning device used for correcting the posture of a child or the like who sits on a chair and learns, for example.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices]

 In recent years, many learning desks and chairs with various forms have been developed by applying ergonomics in order to improve learning efficiency without having various functions that match the taste of children. However, for example, a child sitting on a chair and placing a book on a study desk to learn while unknowingly leaning the upper body and bringing his eyes close to the book is learning. I often see it.

However, if such a habit is acquired, it may worsen the posture and may cause a decrease in the visual acuity. Therefore, in the conventional case, a person near by should be careful to correct the bad sitting posture. I was doing it.

However, it is unrealistic for a person to always watch by the side, and in this case, there is a device that can give attention to automatically correct the sitting posture of a child or the like. It is convenient if there is.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a correct sitting posture by giving proper attention to children and the like to correct a bad sitting posture. It is an object of the present invention to attach it so as to prevent the deterioration of the visual acuity.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 That is, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention comprises a detection means for detecting the upper half of a seated person when the upper body is tilted more than a certain amount, and a warning means for interlocking with the detection means and giving a caution to the person. It is a warning device for posture correction.

[0007]

[Action]

 The warning device characterized by the above configuration is used, for example, by setting it at a predetermined position such as a learning desk, but when a person is reading a book placed on the top plate of the learning desk or the like. In this case, when the upper body is tilted more than a certain amount, the detection means detects it, and the warning means interlocked therewith gives the person proper attention to correct the sitting posture.

[0008]

【Example】

 An embodiment of a posture correction warning device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a hollow box-shaped base, and a flexible tubular pipe 2 is projectingly provided at a substantially central portion of an upper surface thereof. Reference numeral 3 is an optical sensor fitted to the tip of the pipe 2, and the optical sensor 3 is composed of a speaker 5 and a melody kit 6 via a switch unit 4 installed in the base 1 as shown in FIG. The instrument 7 is connected, and the melody kit 6 is configured so that one song can be selected from a plurality of songs. The speaker 5 is arranged below the through holes 1a formed in the upper surface of the base 1.

Reference numerals 8 and 9 respectively denote a main switch and a main power source connected to the switch unit 4, and the main switch 8 is composed of a select switch projecting at a corner of the base 1.

The present embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration. When using this, the warning device 10 is placed on the top plate 11a of the learning desk 11 as shown in FIG. Bend the pipe 2 appropriately so that it faces the fluorescent lamp 12 provided on the learning desk 11. In the daytime when the fluorescent lamp 12 is not used, natural light can be used by directing the optical sensor 3 toward a window or the like.

After that, the fluorescent lamp 12 is turned on and the main switch 8 of the warning device 10 is turned on.

Then, a child or the like sits on a chair (not shown) and, for example, reads a book while the book is placed on the top plate 11a of the learning desk 11. When the child's head 13 is in the position shown in FIG. 4 (a), the light sensor 3 receives the light from the fluorescent lamp 12 without interruption and the warning device 10 does not operate.

On the other hand, when a child or the like tilts the upper body and brings the head 13 closer to the book than a predetermined amount, the light from the fluorescent lamp 12 is blocked by the head 13 as shown in FIG. When this is detected, the voice generator 7 is activated, and as a result, the music selected by the melody kit 6 is played from the speaker 5 to issue a warning to children.

When the child or the like who recognizes this raises his / her upper body and corrects the posture, the optical sensor 3 receives the light emitted from the fluorescent lamp 12 again, and the music flowing from the voice generator 7 is automatically detected. Stop.

As a result, since the bad sitting posture is corrected, it is possible for the child or the like to acquire the correct sitting posture, and as a result, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the visual acuity.

Further, since the warning device 10 has a very simple overall structure, it has an advantage that it can be easily manufactured at low cost.

Although the optical sensor 3 is used as the detection means in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific configuration of the detection means is not limited.

Further, the warning means is not limited to the one using the voice as in the embodiment, and for example, a lamp can be configured to blink to give a warning visually, and the warning means can be concrete. It doesn't matter what the configuration is.

Further, when the warning device 10 is configured as a stand type that can be mounted as in the above-described embodiment, a preferable advantage that it can be set and used at an arbitrary place can be obtained. It is, of course, possible to provide the same or to integrate it into the learning desk 11 or the like.

The warning device according to the present invention is not limited to children.

In addition, the specific configuration such as the shape of the warning device 10 can be arbitrarily modified within the scope intended by the present invention.

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the present invention comprises the detection means for detecting the upper half of the seated person when the upper half of the body is tilted more than a certain amount, and the warning means for warning the person in conjunction with the detection means. It is possible to appropriately warn a person who has a bad sitting posture by tilting the upper body and correct the posture by the warning means, so that the person can acquire the correct sitting posture. It came to a special effect.

As a result, it is possible to prevent a person from bringing his eyes closer to a book or the like more than necessary, which can greatly contribute to the prevention of deterioration of his visual acuity.

Further, since the warning device according to the present invention has an extremely simple structure as described above, it has a practical effect that it can be manufactured inexpensively and easily.
