Description

Lumbar protecting Apparatus

The technical field of the present invention relates to a lumbar protection device, and in particular, to a lumbar protection device implemented to form a tailbone insertion part for inserting the tailbone of a user at a position corresponding to a user's tailbone in a seat such as a chair or cushion. will be.

The human spine is composed of the cervical spine, thoracic vertebra, and lumbar spine. The tailbone is attached to the end of the lumbar spine, and the tailbone causes severe pain when sitting for a long period of time or excessive labor. It is called (coccygodinia).

This is a painful disease of the tailbone when the area around the tailbone at the back of the anus moves. It is not a problem with the tailbone alone. It is about twice as many as men, but from people with jobs such as factory workers and secretaries who have to sit long. It happens often. And if you have had a shock on the tailbone, such as slipping on a snowy road, opening a booty, or if you continue to irritate the tailbone for work or hobbies (e.g., horseback riding), obstetric history of childbirth, dyscalculation, arthritis or disease of the spine, etc. This may also be the cause. It is known that people with these causes pain when the muscles attached to the tailbone are severely strained or contracted.

Pain relievers or muscle relaxants may be used to treat these lumbar pain pains. If the condition still does not improve, local anesthetics or steroids may be injected to relax the muscles around the tailbone, and the patient may exercise to strengthen the muscles around the spine. It is good to do it, and it is also important to correct the wrong posture. In particular, in some cases, surgery is performed to cut the tailbone, but this is only done when there is a certain lesion in the tailbone area on a radiographic examination. Therefore, except in some cases where the cause of lumbar pain is obvious and is cured through appropriate treatment, daily life is often difficult due to the pain caused by recurrence of lumbar pain.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0654918 (Registered on Nov. 30, 2006) discloses a chair for pelvic protection, having at least one pair of base hinges symmetrically disposed at both ends of the base plate, and maintained at a preset height A base mounted on the top of the fixing part; At least one pair of pedestal bases, which are hinged to the base hinges and are formed on one side of the lower base; A spring that is installed at a position where the base and the base stand are hinged, and elastically maintains the base stand against the base; And it characterized in that it comprises a stand that is installed to correspond to the stand base. According to the disclosed technology, in consideration of the physical conditions of the users who use the chair, the pair of pedestal intervals can be set to a certain distance in accordance with the pelvic spacing to move up and down in the center to promote pelvic health of the user. In this way, the pelvis of the user sitting in the chair for a long time can be prevented from being opened, and the pressure on the coccyx can be relieved to suppress pain generated in the coccyx.

Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1000825 (registered on December 12, 2010) is equipped with a pan spring hinge equipped with both a hinge function and a spring function, so that the backrest is tilted according to the user's posture change to support the entire area of the waist. Disclosed is a lumbar protection chair that has a function of protecting the lumbar spine so that it does not overhang the waist even during a long chair life, and at the same time, reduces manufacturing cost with a simple configuration, minimizes the occupied space by not generating a protrusion behind the backrest, and prevents noise. It is. According to the disclosed technology, a chair comprising a seat plate, which is a frame of a seat plate, a support plate fixed to a lower side of the seat plate and supporting a back plate, and a back plate which is coupled to the support plate and is a frame of a backrest, and is configured such that the back plate is tiltable on the support plate. In the plate spring body, the hinge portion is bent in a curved shape, one end portion of the hinge portion is installed to be movable on the back plate, and the other end portion of the hinge portion is provided with a plate spring hinge including a support fixing portion fixed to the support plate, and is provided on the back plate. Through-holes or recesses (hereinafter, collectively referred to as'through-holes') for preventing interference of the hinge portion of the plate spring hinge are formed, and the through-holes are positioned at a height of 200 to 170 mm from the top of the base and plate The spring hinge is bent so that the hinge portion protrudes in the form of'형태' in the middle of the height of the plate spring body, the upper portion of the hinge portion is a back plate fixing portion fixed to the back plate, and the lower portion is made of a support portion fixing portion, and the plate spring hinge It is characterized in that the upper and lower portions of the hinge are differentially bent so that the support fixing portion is positioned rearward compared to the back fixing portion.

In the conventional technique as described above, there are many shortcomings in strengthening the muscles around the tailbone, and there is still a problem in that lumbar stenosis, back pain, etc. still occur due to the decrease in elasticity of the muscles around the tailbone, especially when the tailbone is long, Sitting in a seat such as a chair or cushion is very uncomfortable due to the tailbone, and the posture becomes sluggish, causing muscle pain, stenosis, and pain.
