DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a waistband used for preventing and alleviating low back pain.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a corset is worn as a physical therapy for low back pain, the movement of the lower back is restricted, the weight of the upper body can be supported by the pelvis and ribs, and the lower limb can be transferred to the lower lumbar vertebra. Corsets made of cloth are widely used because they can reduce the burden on the body and can also expect a thermal effect. Various studies have also been made on the structure of these corsets, and it is also known that a structure in which a folded portion is formed in a band and the tightening force of the band is adjusted by pulling the folded portion with a tightening string and adjusting the length. Has become. (See, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-7115)

[0003]

As is well known, the spine is upright due to the tension of the spinal extension muscles. To improve the efficiency of the spine, the spine supporting muscles, the back muscle and the abdominal muscle, work as a balance. It is said that when properly aligned, the muscles supporting this spine are hardly working and work with very little force so that they do not fatigue. (See, for example, “Low Back Pain,” page 34, published on August 25, 1979, Shufu no Tomosha Co., Ltd.) Therefore, when examining a conventional corset from this viewpoint, the conventional corset generally has a large lumbar spine fixation effect and a large thermal effect. In many cases, the belt width is wide, and it is composed of thick cloth material. Therefore, they are not suitable for the sitting posture, and furthermore, along the curvature of the lower lumbar spine. It is difficult to wind around, and on the other hand, it is not possible to expect the effect of compressing and fixing the pelvis and increasing the abdominal pressure with a soft material that uses rubber for the band. When tightening with a tightening band to fix, the pad part of the waist is pulled obliquely from the left and right with the tightening band and tilts, not only can not obtain the uniform deterrent force of the waist, but also the aforementioned belly Those hyperplasia strengthening of the force can be expected did not exist.

[0004] The present invention solves these conventional problems,
When used on the lower part of the lumbar spine and the sacrum, the band can be securely bound along the curvature of the body, and even if tightened, the lumbar pad and the abdominal pad should be securely tightened without tilting left and right. To provide a waist band that can increase the abdominal pressure caused by tightening the front and rear pads with the band body and the compressive fixing force of the pelvis, which affects the lumbar back muscles and can be expected to alleviate and prevent back pain. The purpose is.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The central position of the band body is turned outward and left and right in opposition to an S-shaped cross section, and the folded outer end is sewn in the width direction to open and close a sewing open / close end surface. The end is attached to the sewing opening / closing end face formed left and right facing the outer surface of the folded portion, and the sewing opening / closing end face is drawn in a two-letter shape in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the band main body, and in the opposite direction, Providing an insertion parallel traction band and a parallel traction band for adjusting the tightening force of the band main body, and attaching a V-shaped tightening string for pulling in opposite directions to the rear end side of the insertion parallel traction band and the parallel traction band, respectively, A pocket for storing a pad is provided on each of the inner surface of the folded portion and the inner surface of one end of the band body, and the distance between the left and right end portions of the band body and the folded portion provided at the center position is closer to the folded portion side by about 2/5. To the end of the band and open the sewing Formed with a minimum band width of about 2/3 of the band width of the end face, tied both sides along a longitudinal direction of the band with a gentle curve, and formed a slope adaptation surface of the band at the minimum band width part of the band main body. Form.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a waistband for preventing and alleviating low back pain according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1 to FIG. 9, the band main body 1 is formed by using a band-shaped material made of, for example, 100% cotton and appropriately reinforcing a core material in the width direction. Then, a pair of buttons 2 are attached to both free ends, and the length is wound around the waist (the belly side is directly below the navel and the waist side is the sacrum), including the folded part at the center position described later. It is formed long enough to wear. The pad storage pocket 3 is sewn in a U-shape on both sides and a bottom surface on the inner surface at a substantially central position of the entire length of the band main body 1, and is attached in a bag shape so that the pad 4 can be inserted inside. On one side, a zipper 5 for opening and closing is sewn in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the band main body 1 to open and close the pad storage pocket 3 with the zipper 5, and the pad 4 put in the storage pocket 3 can be replaced. . More specifically, the pad storage pocket 3 is formed and attached to the inner surface of the band body 1 in a bag shape using, for example, a polyurethane polyester fabric.
In this case, for example, the pad 4 has a length x width x thickness = 100 mm
Since it is formed of two types of foamed polyethylene (in the case of a hard pat) and polyurethane foam (in the case of a soft pat) of 150 mm x 10 mm, it is formed in a bag shape large enough to accommodate these pads 4.

The band main bodies 1 at equal intervals on both sides from the sewing portion of the pad storage pocket 3 are opposed to each other in an S-shaped cross section outward as shown in FIGS. Sewing 6 and 7 in the width direction of the bending band body 1
Then, the sewing open / close end faces 8 and 9 are formed in the width direction of the band main body 1, and the folded portions 10 and 9 are formed at the C-shaped cross section formed on the inner side surface of the band main body 1 which is bent to face the S-shape. 11 is formed.

The parallel pulling traction bands 12 and 13 are preferably made of, for example, nylon and have a band shape having a width of about 20 mm and a length of 140 mm. The guide ring 14 is inserted into the guide ring 14 attached to the equally divided position, and the front end of the guide ring
Sewing 15 is performed at a position on a straight line (trisecting position of the sewing opening / closing end face) opposite to the above, and the other end of the insertion parallel traction band 12 is in contact with an outer surface 16 outside the folded portion 10, Attach the traction ring 17 to the end. The insertion parallel pulling band 13 has a front end portion which is a sewing open / close end face 8 diametrically opposite to the parallel pulling band 12.
Is sewn at the three equally-divided positions on the opposite side, and inserted through a guide ring 19 attached to the sewing open / close end surface 9, and the other end is attached to the outer surface 20 outside the folded portion 11 and pulled to the end. Attach ring 21.

The parallel traction bands 22 and 23 are formed of the same material, shape and size as the insertion parallel traction band 12, and one end of each of the parallel traction bands 12 and 23 is parallel to the insertion parallel traction band 12. One end is attached to each of the guide rings 14 and 19 at a position in a straight line so as to be superposed on the traction band 13, and the other end of the parallel traction band 22 is attached to the outer surface 20 and the traction ring 24 is attached to the end. And the other end of the parallel traction band 23 is attached to the outer surface 16 and the traction ring 25 is attached to the end.

The V-shaped tightening cords 26 and 27 are formed of, for example, a strip of nylon having a width of 20 mm and a length of 400 mm, and the V-shaped tightening string 26 is folded in the longitudinal direction of the band body 1 so as to be V-shaped. The position is inserted through the adjustment fitting 28, the V-shaped open ends are inserted through the traction rings 17 and 25, and then folded back in the longitudinal direction of the band main body 1 to respectively fit the insertion parallel traction band 12 and the parallel traction band 23. The ends are fastened 29 and 30 at the positions of the outer surface 16 of the band body 1 corresponding to the positions on the straight lines, respectively. The V-shaped tightening string 27 falls in the opposite direction to the V-shaped
After the center position is inserted into the adjustment fitting 31 so as to form a letter shape, the band body 1 is folded in the longitudinal direction of the band body 1 and corresponds to a position aligned with the insertion parallel traction band 13 and the parallel traction band 22, respectively. At the position of the outer surface 20, the front ends are fixed 32 and 33, respectively.

The adjustment tightening cords 34 and 35 are formed of, for example, a nylon-like band having a width of 20 mm and a length of 330 mm.
One end is attached to the adjustment fittings 28 and 31, and belts 36 and 37 are attached to the other end.

Next, the shape of the band body 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5. FIG.
, The band width W of the band for forming the band surface 38 is adjusted by the sewing open / close end face 8 of the band body 1.
And a position closer to the sewing opening / closing end face 8 side corresponding to the length of 2/5, which is approximately equal to the distance between the tips 39, is formed as the minimum width portion of the band body 1, the tip width H and the sewing opening / closing end face. Abbreviation of width T of 8
Formed to 2/3 width dimension. Further, the measured dimensions which have obtained the most favorable results in the trial production of the present invention are shown below. Width of sewing opening / closing end face 8 T: 130 mm Width of tip 38 H: 120 mm Band inclination adaptation width W: 80 mm Dimension between sewing opening / closing end face 8 and tip 38 L: 460 mm Distance from sewing opening / closing end face 8 S: 190 mm When the band body 1 is formed with the dimensions of the above-mentioned parts and each part is connected by a gentle curve r to form the band body 1, the band body is worn on the waist, as shown in FIG. Even if tightened, it adapts to it, and is easily adapted to a sitting position without restricting the movement of the lumbar spine, and can be securely fixed without tilting the lumbar side.

In FIG. 7, the abdominal pressure increasing surface 40 is formed of the same material as that of the band body 1, for example, a 100% cotton band-like material, and a pad storage pocket 42 in which a substantially semicircular abdominal pressure increasing pad 41 can be stored on the inner surface. The inner side 44 of the abdominal pressure increasing surface 40 is sewn to the inner surface of the distal end 43 of the band main body 1 at a position where the center of the abdominal pressure increasing surface 40 contacts the distal end 43 in the width direction of the band main body 1. 45 and attach. More specifically, the abdominal pressure increasing pad 41 uses a foamed polyethylene for a hard material and a polyurethane foam material for a soft material.
For example, it is desirable to form a corner having a diameter of 150 mm into a substantially semicircular diameter with a chamfered portion, and to increase the thickness of the portion contacting the lower abdomen with a diameter of 7 mm and a circumferential portion of 20 mm. By applying more pressure to the lower abdomen, an effect of increasing abdominal pressure can be expected, and an effect is also exerted on gastric ptosis.

The pad storage pocket 42 is formed in a bag-like shape using, for example, a polyurethane-based polyester cloth and is large enough to receive the above-mentioned abdominal pressure increasing pad 41. A zipper 46 for opening and closing is sewn in parallel with the longitudinal direction to open and close the pad storage pocket 42 with the zipper 46, and the abdominal pressure increasing pad 41 stored in the storage pocket 42 can be replaced.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, the compressive force can be adjusted by replacing both the abdomen and the waist with soft pads, and the lumbar spine can be evenly tightened with the belt without tilting. Because the sacral region can be pressed, and the band body has an inclined adaptation surface, it can not only adapt to the pelvis wearing type with individual differences but also fits the sitting position and does not restrict the movement of the lumbar spine In addition, because it can be used lightly, when your back hurts, when you have weight, when you work in a standing position,
It is an invention that can be used in a wide range such as when working with bending the waist, playing golf, etc., and natural increase of abdominal pressure and compression fixation of the pelvis affect the lumbar spine muscles and can prevent and alleviate back pain. .
