[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an armpit brace used for traction treatment, and more particularly to a structure of an armpit brace improved so that excessive tension is not concentrated on the lower armpit of a patient.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, a traction belt 120 having a cushion member 100 attached to a portion contacting an armpit and a suspension ring 110 attached to both ends thereof has a side portion of a patient as shown in FIG. Was attached to. The arrow in FIG. 6 indicates the direction of the tension force. With this structure, even if the cushioning material 100 is provided, it is not enough to absorb the tension force, and excessive tension force is always concentrated on the armpit of the patient, and the patient complains of pain. There was a drawback that it could not be applied. With the conventional traction belt 120, the tension applied to the body is approximately 60% in the lower armpit and 40% in the lower back, and in order to obtain a sufficient therapeutic effect, about 2.5% is required. Double traction was required, which was, of course, impossible because the patient could not tolerate the pain. Further, in the aging society today, most of the patients to be subjected to traction treatment are elderly, and there is a drawback in that the conventional traction belt 120 can hardly expect the treatment effect when the physical strength is weakened. It was

[0003]

The present invention has been made to solve the drawbacks described in the prior art, and provides sufficient therapeutic effect without pain for elderly people and adult girls with weak muscle strength. It is intended to provide a side armor for traction treatment that can be performed.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems Out of the left and right divided chest parts made of leather lining a cushioning material, a part of the back part of the left chest part is projected, and the left and right chest parts contact the armpits. When the cushioning material is attached to the contacting recesses and the left and right chest pads are set on the patient's chest, the tightening belts are attached to the left and right chest pads so that they can be in close contact with the patient's chest. The traction belts are attached to the left and right chest braces so that the left and right chest braces move on the back and naturally fit the patient's chest.

[0005]

[Action] The left and right chest pads are in close contact with the patient's chest with a large area, so the tension when a traction force is applied is almost evenly distributed over the chest, and excessive tension is concentrated locally. Since it does not occur, it does not cause any pain to the patient. Compared to the conventional traction belt, the one of the present application has a contact area of about 10 times or more, so even if a traction force of several times the traction force, which was the limit of the conventional traction belt, is applied to the patient. It does not cause any pain and can provide a sufficient therapeutic effect. The protruding part on the back of the left chest device is
Since it overlaps inside the back of the right chest device, the movements of the left and right chest devices on the back can be performed smoothly, and the chest device can be securely attached to the patient. When a traction force is applied, the traction belt acts to tighten the left and right chest apparel at their backs, so that the chest apparel is firmly attached to the patient and local concentration of tension is prevented. The cushion material attached to the recess where the chest member contacts the armpit absorbs the force applied to the lower armpit of the patient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A cushion material 1 made of foamed plastic, felt or the like is sewn on or attached with an adhesive (hereinafter, simply referred to as "lining") to explain a drawing showing an embodiment of the present invention. A part of the back of the left chest member 3 of the chest members 3, 3 ′ which is divided into two parts on the left and right is projected 4 and the left and right chest members 3, 3 ′ come into contact with the recesses 5 at the recesses 5. A cushion material 6 made of foamed plastic, cotton, or the like is attached, and a belt insertion hole 8 for a tightening belt 7 and a belt insertion hole 10 for a traction belt 9 are provided on the skins 2 of the left and right chest members 3, 3 ', and at one end. Attach the hook 11
A pulling belt 9 having a fastening ring 7 having a hook 12 having an adjustable length for hooking the hook 11 at the other end inserted through a belt insertion hole 8 and a suspension ring 13 movably attached.
Through the belt insertion hole 10 and one end 14 of the left chest member 3
And the other end 15 to the back of the right chest support 3 '. The protruding portion of the back of the left chest member 3 overlaps with the inside of the back of the right chest member 3'to smooth the movement of the left and right chest members 3 on the back.

The protruding portion of the back of the left chest member 3 is not limited to the left chest member 3 side, but may be provided on the right chest member 3'side. In that case, The protruding portion on the left chest member 3 side is omitted. Adjustable hook 1 with adjustable length
No. 2 is not limited to a particular structure, and any known latching metal having a length adjustable and detachable structure can be applied.

In practice, the left and right chest members 3, 3'are applied to the patient's chest lying on the bed, and the tightening belt 7 makes close contact with the patient's chest. Then, the suspension rings 13 on the left and right of the traction belt 9 are adjusted so as to be in a balanced position, and the suspension belts 13 are hooked on hooks (not shown) of the bed. This completes the attachment of the left and right chest applicators 3, 3 ′ to the patient, and when a traction force is applied to the waist brace attached to the patient's lumbar region, tension is applied to the traction belt 9 and the tension force causes the left and right chest devices to move to the left and right. The chest pads 3 and 3'tighten tightly and are closer to the patient's chest, and the tension is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the left and right chest pads 3 and 3'at any position including the patient's armpits. However, the tension is not excessively concentrated, and the conventional pain is eliminated.

The armpit brace according to the present application was prototyped, and the traction belt test according to the present invention was carried out on 100 patients whose muscular strength was reduced to about the same level by wearing the conventional traction belt and the armpit brace according to the present application. According to the results, no patient complained that the armpit device according to the present application exerted a traction force 5 to 10 times that of the conventional traction belt.

[0010]

[Effect] Since this device is constructed as described above,
The tension force is not concentrated on the limited extremely small areas such as the patient's armpits, and the tension force is evenly distributed over the entire chest, so even if a traction force that is several times greater than the conventional force is applied The traction force required for traction treatment can be applied to the lumbar region sufficiently, so that the therapeutic effect is significantly improved and the treatment can be terminated early, and its industrial utility value is high.
