Description

Lumbar traction device {Apparatus for lumbar spinal traction}

The present invention relates to a lumbar vertebrae device, in response to the lumbar spine having an unusual shape to smooth the traction of the waist to maintain various muscles and ligaments as well as to maintain the intervertebral disc (disc), various vertebrae that can vary from person to person The present invention relates to a lumbar traction device that can relieve the symptoms of back disease by elastically responding to the disease.

More than 80% of the world's population suffers from or has low back pain.

Typically, when a person walks or sits, they often stay slightly bent rather than standing upright. This movement is caused by excessive stretching of the muscles, fascia, and various ligaments of the back and back, and at the same time, the disc (disk) is subjected to a lot of pressure, especially in sedentary life. You spend more than eight hours a day in your daily life, and the pressure on your back when sitting is as much as eight times higher than when you are lying down. Therefore, the excessive excessive load on the waist not only greatly reduces the flexibility of the spinal joint but also frequently causes low back pain.

As such, the flexibility of the vertebral joints decreases, and naturally, various musculoskeletal disorders and discs, that is, a disc called disc herniation (disk disease) may occur. In case of disc herniation, the degree of seriousness is treated by surgical methods such as surgery, but when the symptoms are insignificant, the treatment is done by using physical methods rather than surgery. By using the means to reduce the pressure between the spine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a view showing a spinal tow device 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the spinal tow device 100 according to the present invention includes a first body part 10 and a second body part 20 installed below the first body part, and the first body part and the first body part. 2 When the body is assembled is composed of an installation frame 30, the assembled body is installed.

The first body portion 10 has a semi-elliptic side shape and is composed of an elastic body, and a first recess 11 is formed in a longitudinal direction at the center of the curved surface. The first and second curved portions 12 and 13 that are curved inwardly are formed at both sides of the first recess.

The first recess 11 is a groove in which the spine is positioned for correct spinal correction without straining the spine when the waist of the person is positioned. The first and second curved portions 12 and 13 are portions in which the standing vertebrae of the spine correcting the spine are located. The first recess and the first and second curved portions are formed over the entire curved outer surface of the first body portion in the longitudinal direction of the first body portion 10.

A lower portion of the first body portion 10 is formed with a protrusion 14 for coupling with the second body portion 20.

When viewed from the side, the second body portion 20 has a substantially trapezoidal shape and both sides are configured to have the same curvature as the first body portion. In addition, one of the side surfaces is formed with a second groove 21 is formed to match the first groove 11 of the first body portion to form a groove formed together with the first groove of the first body portion, And both sides of the first body portion 20 is matched to extend to the first and second curved portions 12, 13 of the first body portion to complete one with the first and second curved portion outside the first body portion Third and fourth curved portions 22 and 23 are formed to form the curved portions, respectively.

On the upper surface of the second body portion 20, when coupled with the first body portion 10, a coupling groove 24 is engaged with the protrusion 14 of the first body portion.

The shape of combining the first body portion 10 and the second body portion 20 formed as described above is shown in perspective view in FIG. 2. In addition, FIG. 3 shows a combined body portion seen from above, and FIG. 4 illustrates side surfaces of the combined first body portion and the second body portion.

Looking at the first body portion 10 and the second body portion 20 combined with reference to Figures 2 to 4, the overall side shape of the combined first body portion 10 and the second body portion 20 It has an asymmetric semi-ellipse shape, where the lower curvature, that is, the curved side is curved towards the head side, and the larger curvature, that is, the curved side is toward the hip side.

The first groove 11 and the second groove 21 extend to each other to form one groove along the curved outer surface of the coupled body parts, and likewise the first curved portion of the first body part 10. 12 and the third curved portion 22 of the second body portion 20 also extend to each other to form one curved portion along one side of the groove along the curved outer surface of the combined body portions, the first body The second curved portion 13 of the portion 10 and the fourth curved portion 23 of the second body portion 20 also extend to each other along one curved portion along the other side of the groove along the curved outer surface of the combined body portions. Will form.

Therefore, the completed body is placed on the waist of the person, preferably the spine, and when the person is lying down, the spine is located inside the groove, and since the standing vertebrae are located on the curved part, the spine is straight without any strain on the spine. Towing can be done in a calibrated state.

On the other hand, the body portion according to the present invention is made of an elastic body such as silicone or rubber, but is made to have an elastic modulus of different Asuka hardness. That is, the second body portion is made of an elastic body such as silicone or rubber having an Asuka hardness of 50 to 70 degrees, and the first body portion is made of an elastic body such as silicone or rubber having an Asuka hardness of 8 to 15 degrees.

Therefore, when the completed body portion is accurately positioned below the waist of the person, as shown in Figure 4, while being pressed in the downward direction (X direction) by the weight of the person is extended in both directions (Y direction). However, at this time, since the body portion is not extended in another bilateral direction (Z direction), the body portion performs its function.

In order to solve the function of the Z direction, the present invention uses the installation frame 30 is installed the body. 5 is a view illustrating a state in which the completed body portion is installed in the installation frame 30, and FIG. 6 is a view showing a side of the installation frame 30 in which the body portion is installed.

1, 5 and 6, the installation frame 30 extends from both sides of the base 31 and the upper side of the base 31 supporting the bottom of the second body portion 20 upwards. It has a side part 32. The side portion 32 is composed of a first side portion 32'1 and a second side portion 32'2.

The first side portion 32 ′ 1 is formed to be curved in the same shape as the side shape of the completed body portion, and is spaced apart from the edge of the body portion at a predetermined distance D1. And it is preferable that the height of the 1st side part 32'1 is higher than the height of a 1st body part.

Like the first side portion, the second side portion 32'2 is formed to be curved in the same shape as the side shape of the body portion, and is spaced apart from the edge of the side portion of the body portion by a predetermined distance D2. However, the interval D1 is smaller than the interval D2. Thus, the edge of the first side portion is located relatively close to the edge of the body portion, on the contrary, the edge of the second side portion is placed relatively far from the edge of the body portion. The distance D2 is increased to prevent the waist of the person from contacting the side of the installation frame by the weight of the person when the completed body is installed and used in the installation frame 30. In addition, since the Asuka hardness of the first body portion is large, the first body portion hardly extends in the lateral direction due to the weight of a person.

On the other hand, in the first embodiment described above, since the first body portion 10 and the second body portion 20 are combined and then installed in a separate installation frame 30, the body portions, in particular, Even if the body part is made of silicon, since the mounting frame 30 is made of a material that can be slipped with very small friction, even if the bottom of the second body part is formed in a flat shape, there is no problem in the expansion and contraction of the second body part. There is no.

However, the combined first body portion 10 and the second body portion 20 of the spinal tow device 100 according to the present invention, without using a separate installation frame 30, such as a floor or flooring You can also apply directly to. At this time, since the second body portion 20 is made of silicon, when the combined first body portion and the second body portion are applied to the back of a person lying down, the second body portion and the bottom and the floor or the floor contacting the second body portion 20 Due to the friction of the liver, the second body part can hardly move on the floor or the floor.

Accordingly, the second embodiment of the present invention is configured to be used on the floor or the floor.

7 is a view showing a spinal tow device 100 'according to a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 8 is a side view, and FIG. 9 is a bottom view showing a spinal tow device 100' according to a second embodiment. to be.

As shown in FIG. 7, the spinal tow device 100 'according to the second embodiment of the present invention does not use the installation frame 30, unlike the first embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 8, the first body portion 10 of the spinal tow device 100 ′ according to the second embodiment has the same configuration as the body portion 10 of the first embodiment. Therefore, the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment are used. However, unlike the body portion 20 of the first embodiment, the second body portion 20 ′ of the second embodiment has a middle portion in the form of a recess. That is, when the stepped portion, that is, the second body portion 20 'contacts the floor or the floor, both ends 20'1 and 20'2 of the second body portion 20'1 and 20'2 fall to the floor or floor. The stepped portion 20'3 is formed at the center of the second body portion 20 '. And both ends of the step portion are connected to both ends 20'1 and 20'2 of the second body portion and the convex arc-shaped extension portions 20'4, respectively.

Therefore, if the second body part contacts the floor or the floor and no load is applied, the second body part is supported by the both ends 20'1 and 20'2. However, when a load is applied to the second body portion, the arc-shaped extension portion 20'4 and the stepped portion 20'3 sequentially come into contact with the floor or the floor. Comparing this with Example 1, since the entire bottom of the second body portion 20 of Example 1 is in contact with the bottom of the installation frame 30, the second body when a load is applied to the second body portion There is some limit to the expansion of the wealth. However, since a predetermined space is created between the bottom of the second body portion 20 'according to the second embodiment and the floor or the floor by the step portion and the arc-shaped extension portion, the second body portion is inflated by the load. In this case, since the space accommodates the expansion of the second body portion and the expansion can continue to the same extent as in the first embodiment even after the bottom surface of the second body portion is completely in contact with the floor or the floor, Spinal tow device 100 ′ using second body portion 20 ′ according to an embodiment will better cope with the spine of a person in use.

On the other hand, since the second body portion used in the second embodiment is also made of an elastic material such as silicone, when it comes into contact with the floor or the floor during use, it is not easy to expand by friction, that is, the bottom movement due to sagging. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, as shown in FIG. 9, the extension portion 20'2 of the body portion 20 'of the second embodiment is a fiber reinforcement material that can slide well against a floor or a floor. (20'5) is used. And such a reinforcing material is not provided in the step part 20'3. Therefore, when the second body portion 20 'is pressed by the load, the second body portion is inflated (extended) while being slid well by the reinforcement provided in the extension portion 20'4, and later, the step portion is formed on the floor or the floor. When contacted, the spine tow device 100 'used by the second body portion 20' is fixed to the floor or the floor by friction between the stepped portion and the floor or the floor. Thus, during use, that is, the weight of a person prevents the tow device 100 'from moving in an unintended manner.

10 and 11 are views showing a spinal towing apparatus according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

In the second embodiment, the fiber reinforcement 20'5 is used to slide well against the floor. In the third embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. A predetermined groove 20'41 is formed in the extension portion 20'4 of the two body portions 20 ', and a sliding means 20'42 is provided in the groove.

The groove 20'41 has a fixing hole 20'411 for fixing the sliding means 20'42.

As shown in (b) of FIG. 10, the sliding means 20'42 has a shape corresponding to the groove, but is formed to have a thickness greater than the depth of the groove, so that the sliding means is installed in the groove. Part of the sliding means protrude outward of the extension 20'4 so that the extension does not touch the floor. In addition, the fixing means 20'421 is formed in the sliding means 20'42 for fixing the fixing hole 20'411 in the fixing hole 20'411.

In addition, in order to smooth the sliding of the sliding means with respect to the floor, as shown in (c) of FIG. 10, a plurality of stepped portions 20'422 are formed on the surface of the sliding means. Therefore, the surface area of the sliding means in contact with the floor is reduced, so that the sliding function of the sliding means is further improved.

11 shows how the sliding means is installed in the extension. In FIG. 11, the sliding means is provided on one side, but it may be well understood by those skilled in the art that the sliding means may be provided at each of two extensions of the body portion as necessary.

The sliding means is made of a material such as plastic, but any material that exhibits the property of sliding relative to the floor can be used.

As described above, when using the spinal tow device 100 according to the present invention, the first body portion and the second body portion composed of an elastic body is pressed in the downward direction (X direction) by the weight of the person in both side directions Since it extends in the (Y direction) and does not extend in both sides (Z direction), it is possible to elastically cope with the waist according to the human body shape.

In particular, since the first body portion is made of an elastic body whose Asuka hardness is greater than the Asuka hardness of the second body portion, the shape of the first body portion is hardly changed by human weight, and the second body portion is mainly deformed in the vertical direction. Will be. Therefore, the grooves and the curved portions of the first body portion are always kept constant so that the effect of the spine dog is increased.

In addition, when the waist of the person using the spinal tow device according to the present invention is relatively long and weighs a lot, the first body is selected by selecting a second body part with a bit higher asuka hardness to prevent the body part from stretching up and down too much. What is necessary is just to use it in combination with a part, On the contrary, when a waist is comparatively short and weight is small, it is good to select the 2nd body part with a relatively low Asuka hardness, and to use it by combining with a 1st body part. In this way, by selecting the body portion, in particular, according to the body shape of the second body portion to be used in combination with the first body portion to further enhance the spinal towing effect.

In the above description, the first body portion and the second body portion are described as being formed of an elastic body such as silicone and rubber, but it is obvious to those skilled in the art that any material having elastic force can be used without being limited thereto. It should also be considered that this also falls within the scope of the present patent.
