DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device used for adjusting a spinal joint of a human body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a technique for adjusting a spine joint, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, an upper arm and a thigh of a patient K are lifted, palpated with one hand, and a soft joint adjacent to a hard joint is used. There is a technology that presses the arm to fix it, moves the upper arm and thigh in the left and right direction of the patient, and attempts to improve the target hard joint. This technique is very effective in preventing and improving back pain and stiff shoulders, but the operation of lifting and moving it requires a great deal of power and cannot be used by people who are weak. In addition, there is a risk that the lower back may be hurt due to the mid-low back posture. Therefore, at present, this technology is not widely used even by experts.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve such a conventional problem, and reduces the operation of lifting and moving, so that the spine can be used not only by experts but also by ordinary people. A joint adjuster is provided.

(2) The slide device C includes two pairs of left and right casters 4 attached to the lower surface of the cushion base B, two left and right rails 3 provided inside the casters 4, and the two Both rails 3 are located in the middle of rail 3
2. The spine joint according to claim 1, further comprising: a caster mounting base 1 provided in parallel with the caster mounting base; and two pairs of left and right casters 2 rotating on the rails 3 mounted on both side surfaces of the caster mounting base 1. Adjustment tool. (3) The sliding device includes a pair of left and right first mounting bases 11 provided on the lower surface of the cushion base B and a pair of first mounting bases 11 on the upper surface of the support plate A so as to be located between the pair of first mounting bases 11. A pair of left and right second mounting bases 10 provided in parallel with the mounting base 11,
The slide rail (9) interposed between the first mount (11) and the second mount (10).
A spinal joint adjuster as described.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments.

(First Embodiment) FIGS. 1 to 3 show a spinal joint adjuster according to a first embodiment. In the figure, A is a support plate, B is a cushion table, and C is a slide device. Support plate A
Is a material such as wood or plastic, having a length of about 500 mm, a width of about 180 mm, and a thickness of about 15 mm. The four corners are slightly chamfered.
A cushion material such as a sponge is wrapped with a cloth made of nylon or vinyl and fixed with studs on a plate of the same shape as above. The slide device C is composed of casters 2 and 4, a rail 3 and a caster mount 1. The casters 2 and 4 are fixed type and made of a material such as plastic or nylon. If the material is excellent in wear, etc.,
A caster using a door wheel or a bearing inside may be used. Further, the number of casters 4 attached to the lower surface of the cushion base B may be increased for the purpose of overload resistance. The rail 3 and the caster mount 1 are made of the same material as the support plate A, such as wood or plastic.

In the drawing, the procedure for manufacturing the adjusting device is as follows. A caster mounting base 1 is fixed at the center of the upper surface of the support plate A, two pairs of left and right casters 2 are mounted on both side surfaces thereof, and two left and right wheels are mounted on the lower surface of the cushion base B. Attach a pair of casters 4. Further, a rail 3 having an L-shaped cross section inside the caster 4,
3 'is fixed to face, the caster 2 is rotated on the rail surface and fitted, the support plate A and the cushion base B are integrated, and the stoppers 5 are attached to the front and rear of the rails 3 and 3'. Metal bracket 7 fixed to the side of rail 3
And the support plate A, and the handle 6 is attached to the front surface of the cushion base B on the same side.

(Embodiment 2) FIGS. 4 to 6 show a spinal joint adjuster of Embodiment 2 and the same parts as those of Embodiment 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals. In the figure, A is a support plate, B
Denotes a cushion table, C denotes a slide device, and the support plate A and the cushion table B have the same material, shape and dimensions as those of the first embodiment. The slide device C is a slide rail 9
And a first mounting base 11 and a second mounting base 10. The slide rail 9 is made of a material such as metal or plastic, and is attached to, for example, both sides of a desk drawer and is used for opening and closing the drawer. Two inner and outer rail plates are connected via several middle ball bearings. It is a structure that meshes and moves relatively smoothly. The first mount 11 and the second mount 10 are made of the same material as the support plate A, such as wood or plastic.

Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6, the procedure for manufacturing the adjusting tool is as follows. The second mounting tables 10 and 10 'and the first mounting tables 11 and 11' are provided on the inner and outer surfaces of the slide rails 9 and 9 ', respectively.
And the second mounting tables 10 and 10 ′ are fixed on the upper surface of the support plate A such that the outer surfaces of the first mounting tables 11 and 11 ′ are flush with the left and right side surfaces of the support plate A. 10, 10 '
The stopper 5 is attached to the front and rear positions of the upper surface of the first mounting base 11, and the cushion base B to which the rubber base 12 having the shape of a truncated cone at the center of the lower surface is fixed to the upper surface of the first mounting base 11, 11 '. Further, the metal fastener 8 is attached to the first mounting base 11 and the side surface of the support plate A, and the handle 6 is mounted on the front surface of the cushion base B on the same side.

With the above construction, the fastener 8 is provided so that the cushion table B does not move as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and the adjuster is inserted into the thigh and the chest.
Is released, and the handle 6 can be held with one hand and pushed or pulled in the left-right direction of the body.

In this case, the moving distance at this time is as shown in FIG.
5 is the value obtained by subtracting the length of the caster mounting base 1 from the length of the rail 3 shown in FIG.
The length between the rubber stopper 12 and the stopper 5 attached to the front and back of the upper surfaces of 0 and 10 'is about 180 mm.

The casters 2 and 4 shown in FIG.
In the case where the lower part of the support plate A is undulated with a soft futon by the slide rail 9 shown in FIG.
The cushion table B can be moved smoothly as in the case of horizontal operation. For this reason, when adjusting the spine joint, since the force of the hand to be operated is much smaller than when the adjustment tool is not used, the hand for pressing the spine joint of the patient K can have a margin. The adjustment of the spine joint can be made sufficiently because it is not tired.

Further, when an ordinary person uses this adjustment tool, there is no need to palpate the state of the joint and search for a target joint. Adjustment of the entire spinal joint is possible.

Further, since the lower limb placed on the cushion table B can be swung right and left by its own power in a state where the lower limb is lowered or turned up, it can be used as an exercise tool. At this time, the support plate A is lengthened, and the rails 3 and 4 shown in FIGS.
It is still more effective to change the length of the second mounting base 10 and the position of the stopper 5 in FIG.

In addition, the cushioning device A and the support plate B are not detached up and down via the slide device C, and the adjustment device is more convenient to carry by using the stopper 8.

【The invention's effect】

As described above, this adjuster can be easily used as a spinal joint adjustment or exercise tool, and can be expected to produce a healthy body by preventing and improving low back pain and stiff shoulders. .
