Description

The utility model relates to furniture, in particular to chair seats, used to prevent curvature of the spine during sitting, as training devices for the development of coordination and balance, various groups of spinal muscles and abdominals, rehabilitation treatment, in particular the spinal column, and can be used when sitting in everyday life, when studying, at work and at rest, in rehabilitation treatment departments of hospitals, sanatoriums, hospitals, as well as in sports halls.

A sedentary lifestyle negatively affects posture and human health. In order to eliminate this influence, various designs of chairs have been developed. A promising direction is the creation of multifunctional furniture that provides simplicity, accessibility, practicality, aesthetics, safety and benefits for the body.

Known design furniture designer Masahiko Ito school chair saddles for proper posture, in the form of a saddle, suggesting the placement of legs on the sides, and not in front. That on a curved seat, and even with legs on the sides was comfortable, the back should be straight. A child in this chair is not static, but active, he has to maintain posture, thereby increasing concentration. According to the developer, his chair will provide good posture, which, in turn, will become the guarantor of psychological comfort. That is, the children will not only be attentive at the lessons, but also calm, since the subconscious sensation of vulnerability will disappear. Design is used as a tool to solve both physical and psychological problems (Chair-saddle for proper posture: website - URL: http://otdelka-kottedzhej.ru/stul-sedlo-dlya-pravilnoj-osanki.html).

The disadvantage of this analogue is the immobility of the seat, which does not allow to activate and strengthen the muscles of the spine.

Known overhead seat containing a balancing element and support. A support with a hinge is fixed to the support by means of which the support is connected to the balancing element (Laid seat (options), patent for invention No. 2276571 RU, IPC А47С 7/02, А61Н 1/00, А63В 23/02, publ. 05.20.2006, Bulletin No. 14). The overhead seat is placed on the seat of a chair or chair with the support down and then the person sits on the balancing element. After this, the person, together with the balancing element, begins to make rotational and swinging movements in various planes. These movements allow the development of vertebral joints, various muscle groups of the back and abdominal muscles, i.e. complex training of the above muscle groups is carried out. By increasing or decreasing the depth of movement, the load on the muscles is adjusted.

As a prototype, a device for the self-balancing of the body by a person, containing a base, support and an intermediate node. The joints of the bases and supports by means of intermediate nodes have several degrees of freedom, providing the possibility of changing the angle between the planes corresponding to the working surfaces of the bases and supports. Intermediate nodes can be made in the form of a cone, sphere, prism, pyramid, cylinder, etc. (Device for self-balancing the body by a person, patent for invention No. 2223021 RU, IPC А47С 1/02, А47С 7/46, publ. 10.02.2004, bull. No. 4). The self-balancing of the body by a person on the working surface of the base is realized due to the contact of the base directly with the support or with an intermediate unit, providing a limited rotation of the base in any or limited direction around the contact of the base with the support or with an intermediate unit. The equilibrium center of gravity vector of a person passes through the contact of the base with a support or with an intermediate node in the middle sagittal plane.

The disadvantage of the prototype is the impossibility of prolonged sitting due to the rapid fatigability of all muscle groups of the spine, legs and arms of a seated person with constant balancing at school or at work, because the legs of the seated are in front. As a result, the seated person is forced to take some extreme position of the overhead seat or simply remove it.

The technical task of the utility model is to create a simple and practical design of the chair with the possibility of placing legs on the sides to form a correct posture, which has several types of seat surfaces that are set depending on the characteristics of the seated person.

The technical problem is solved in that in a saddle chair to form a correct posture containing legs, grooves, a drawer, a back, a seat and a balancing element, a seat having two surfaces that are different from each other on two sides and configured to spread legs on the sides, mounted on the balancing element in the form of a longitudinal axis with the possibility of free rotation to balance the seated.

The general view of the chair-saddle for the formation of proper posture is presented.

The seat-chair for the formation of correct posture contains the front leg 1, rear legs 2, grooves 3, drawer 4, backrest 5, seat 6 and balancing element 7. The seat 6 has two different surfaces 8, 9 from two sides. The surface 8 can be made, for example, in the form of a saddle (shown conditionally). The surface 9 can be performed, for example, in the form of a plane (shown conditionally). The seat 6 is mounted on the balancing element 7 in the form of a longitudinal axis of a cylindrical shape, mounted on the balancing element in the form of a longitudinal axis with the possibility of free rotation to balance the seated.

The sizes, shapes, and radii of curvature of the surfaces 8, 9 of the seat 6 must first be selected depending on the physiological, age and other characteristics of consumers. For the manufacture of seat 6 should be used materials whose quality will ensure its functionality and the safety of the person sitting on it.

The proposed device is used as follows.

Pre-select and set the appropriate type of surface 8 or 9 depending on the state of the seated person. Then the man sits on seat 6, legs apart on the sides. A person with a seat 6, rotating relative to the balancing element 7 begins to make swinging movements in the transverse vertical plane. These movements allow the development of vertebral joints, various muscle groups of the back, abdominals, arms and legs, i.e. complex training of the above muscle groups is carried out. By increasing or decreasing the amplitude of movements, the load on the muscles is adjusted. Periodic use of the device leads to muscle strengthening and contributes to the formation of proper posture with less fatigue for the category of people leading a sedentary lifestyle, in particular, for students, employees of dispatch services, and security. This device will be useful to prevent falling asleep of these persons during prolonged sitting.

The utility model provides the creation of a simple and practical design of the chair with the possibility of placing legs on the sides to form a correct posture, which has several types of seat surfaces, installed depending on the characteristics of the seated person.
