Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a perspective view showing a partially disassembled mechanism according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a configuration diagram showing an enlarged drive in the direction A of Figure 1, Figure 3 is a configuration diagram showing an enlarged drive in the direction B of Figure 1 to be.

The present invention relates to a device for supporting a user (patient) in a prone position and to correct the spine, by using the body 10 and the support 20 to lie down the patient and then perform the correction. The main body 10 on which most of the weight is loaded is formed into a hollow shape using a material having an appropriate cushion. The front face of the main body 10 is formed to extend the face support incision (10a). The incision 10a lowers the height of the body 10 and cuts in the longitudinal direction from the center so that the patient's breathing is smooth. Slots 10b and 10c are formed on the top and side surfaces of the main body 10, respectively, and their functions will be described later.

The support 20 according to the present invention receives the triangular cushion 21 on the upper surface and has a slip ring 22 on the bottom surface. Triangular cushion 21 is composed of a pair and is mounted to the support 20 so that the relative distance is variable. The construction and operation of the support 20 and the triangular cushion 21 are described in the prior application Nos. 1999-37708 (filed date: 1999.9.6.) And 1999-55159 (filed date: 1999.12.6.) By the present applicant. It has been described in.

At this time, the slip ring 22 is fixed to the bottom surface of the support 20 and can be linear and rotational movement on the slot (10b) of the main body (10). When the slip ring 22 having a circular cross section moves in contact with the slot 10b of the main body 10, the support 20 coupled thereto is also linearly moved in the longitudinal direction of the main body 10.

In addition, according to the present invention, the rotary mechanism 30 is mounted in the downward direction of the slip ring 22 to rotate the support 20. Referring to FIG. 2, the rotating mechanism 30 is composed of a worm wheel 32, a worm 33, and a motor 31 installed in the housing 34, and the slip ring 22 is configured to rotate the motor 31. ) And the rotation of the support 20. To this end, the worm wheel 32 is coaxially coupled with the slip ring 22 and the worm 33 is coaxially coupled with the motor 31. In this way, the support 20 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise according to the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 31. Even if a rotational force acts on the support 20 in a state in which the support 20 is rotated to have a predetermined angle with the main body 10, the support 20 is not rotated by the reversal preventing function of the worm wheel 32 and the worm 33. Therefore, the support 20 can change the angle only through the motor 31.

In this case, a scale 10d indicating a rotation angle is displayed on the main body 10, and a long hole 20a for reading the scale is provided on the support 20. The scale 10d is displayed in the range of 25 to 30 degrees in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions, respectively, with the position at which the main body 10 and the support 20 are orthogonal to 0 °. The marking method of the scale 10d is preferably stamped on the main body 10 to prevent wear. Through the long hole 20a of the support 20, the scale 10d is read so that the current rotation angle can be known.

In addition, according to the present invention, the spiral shaft 42 connected to the motor 41 at one end is engaged with the slider 43 fixed to the lower end of the rotating mechanism 30 to linearly move the support 20. The spiral shaft 42 is mounted in the main body 10 in a state parallel to the slot 10b and having a spiral at least in a portion corresponding to the slot 10b of the main body 10. The slider 43 is detachably fixed to the housing 34 with a female screw engaged with the spiral shaft 42. Accordingly, the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 41 causes a spiral motion through the slider 43 to simultaneously linearly move the housing 34, the slip ring 22, and the support 20 on the upper side thereof.

In addition, according to the present invention, a switch 50 is installed on the main body 10 to control the power of the rotary mechanism 30 and the motor 41, respectively. The switch 50 enables selection of three stages of forward rotation, reverse rotation or stop of the motor 31 for the rotation of the support 20 and the motor 41 for the linear movement of the support 20, respectively.

Accordingly, when the power is connected and the switch 50 of one side is operated, the worm wheel 32 and the worm 33 are rotated to rotate the support 20 and the spiral shaft 42 when the switch 50 of the other side is operated. This rotation linearly moves the support 20 connected to the slider 43. The set position is arbitrarily changed even if the patient's external force is acted upon by the reversal prevention function between the worm wheel 32 and the worm 33 and between the spiral shaft 42 and the slider 43 at the moment the switch 50 is placed at the stop position. Will not be.

At this time, as a modification of the present invention, as shown in Figure 3, the control rod 44 and the control rod 44 is extended to the rotation axis of the worm 33 exposed to the slot (10c) of the main body 10 It is also possible to further include a nut 45 engaged with the spiral at the outer end of the handle 46, the handle 46 is fixed to the outer end of the control rod (44).

For this purpose, the control rod 44 is directly connected to the shaft of the motor 31, and the configuration for mounting the worm 33 is simple. A spiral is formed at the outer end of the adjusting rod 44 so that the nut 45 is engaged and the handle 46 is integrally formed with the adjusting rod 44 on the outside of the nut 45. When the nut 45 is normally released and not in contact with the main body 10, the adjusting rod 44 linearly moves together with the support 20.

Such a configuration is for manually operating the support 20 due to the inoperability of the motors 31 and 41 or other needs. First, the slider 43 is separated from the housing 34 and the spiral shaft 42 is removed. Leave it on. Subsequently, grasping the handle 46 and moving the adjusting rod 44 on the slot 10c causes the housing 34 and the support 20 coupled thereto to move linearly on the slot 10b. In addition, when the handle 46 is rotated, the worm 33 rotates while the worm wheel 32, the slip ring 22, and the support 20 are simultaneously rotated. In particular, when the motor 41 is connected to the adjusting rod 44, the driving torque is large, it is convenient to operate the diameter of the handle 46 to increase. When the adjustment of the position of the support 20 is completed, tighten the nut 45 to closely contact the main body 10 so that the support 20 is not arbitrarily moved forward and backward and rotated.

With reference to Figures 1 to 3 will be described a method of using the device according to the present invention.

First, the switch 50 is operated to move the support 20 to the center portion of the scale 10d, and the patient is lying down while adjusting the angle of the support 20 so that the face is positioned at the incision 10a and the pelvis. It is positioned between the triangular cushion 21 of the support 20. In this position, grab the legs on both sides, shake the whole body from side to side to straighten the spine, and then turn both ankles at right angles to find the short legs. Next, the switch 50 is operated to linearly move the position of the support 20 to the patient's pelvis, and to adjust the opposite distance of the triangular cushion 21 so as to face the anterior superior iliac spine at the trochanter of the short femur. Move it.

In this state, wait about 5 to 10 minutes to repeat deep breathing, and then compare the lengths of the legs on both sides. If the leg length is not the same or the symptoms of sciatica (including pseudo sciatica) caused by low back pain and disc do not disappear, take down the instrument of the present invention and take a break for about 20 seconds and repeat the above process again. This process is repeated several times until the legs are the same length or the symptoms disappear.

This will reduce the back pain and sciatica as the legs are the same length and the pelvis normalizes into place. The position of the cervical spine can also be held in place to maintain an organic rhythm throughout the body. Of course, if you want to use the apparatus of the present invention at home, the user can easily set the position of the support 20 and the triangular cushion 21 according to the doctor's prescription.

The chiropractic device of the present invention having the above-described configuration and action not only solves the cause of spinal pain by easily correcting the position of the pelvis in a hospital or home by relatively simple configuration and usage, but also chronic low back pain and sciatica caused by disc. And other spinal diseases.
