Description

Body support The present invention relates to a body support, and in particular to a body support for the body of a user lying belly down, using a book, a tablet computer, a smartphone or similar.

The problem of ergonomically poor seating postures in users of tablet computers,smartphones and similar is well-known. Frequently, the prolonged use of such devices with poor posture results in strain and in worst case neck injuries.

One problem is that common postures when using such devices include the neck of the userbeing bent forward, putting strain on the muscles supporting the neck and the head of theuser. These problems may also arise when performing similar activities, such as reading books. ln WO 2017/200448 A1, a body support is described, comprising a slanting chest restingsurface and elbow rests. When a user lies belly down on such a body support, the spine ofthe user is held in an ergonomically correct posture, due to a slightly concave shape of the chest support.

Similar devices are disclosed in GB 2262225 A, US 4987625 A and US 20150289664 A1.Common to all these devices is that they are both quite bulky, and not optimised for storing.They are also not suitable for users of different sizes. For instance, one and the same devicecannot be used by both an adult and a child with ergonomically correct results.

Another problem is that when used during the performing of a task requiring some elec-tronic device, a book or similar, the user has to hold the device in question with his or her hands, or alternatively keep the device on the floor in front ofthe body support.

Another problem is that the neck of the user still risks not assuming a proper posture during such use. For instance, it is possible for the user lying belly down on the device in question Application text, 2018-12-11 1SO0S3SE to still have his or her neck bent forward in an unhealthy posture, depending on where a screen, a book page, etc., is located.

I\/|oreover, USD748616 and USD643845 describe stands for portable electronics.

The present invention solves the above described problems, and provides a body supportwhich, in addition thereto, is suitable both for device or book use and also for general usage, such as when watching tv, resting or talking with family and friends.

Hence, the invention relates to a body support associated with a use orientation, arrangedto allow a user to lie belly down in a use position on the body support, the body supportcomprising a first part, in the form of a chest support part, in turn comprising a first surface,in the form of a slanting chest support surface, arranged to, when the body support is insaid use orientation, support the chest of a user in said use position; and a second part, inthe form of a combined elbow and device support, in turn comprising a second surface, inthe form of a lower arm support surface, arranged to, when the body support is in said useorientation, support the lower arms of a user in said use position with the user's elbowsresting on second surface, which body support is characterised in that, when the body sup-port is in said use orientation, the second surface slants towards the same direction as thefirst surface, in that the second part further comprises a device support means, arranged tosupport a device to be viewed by the user in said use position, and in that the device supportmeans is arranged to support the device from below so that the whole supported device is arranged above said end edge of the first part. ln the following, the invention will be described in detail, with reference to exemplifying embodiments ofthe invention and to the enclosed drawings, wherein: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a first exemplifying embodiment of a body support accord-ing to the present invention, in a use orientation of the body support; Figure 2 is a simplified side view of a second exemplifying embodiment of a body supportaccording to the present invention in a use orientation of the body support, as well as of a user lying belly down, in a use orientation of the user, on said body support; Application text, 2018-12-11 1SO0S3SE Figure 3a is a side view of a first part of a third exemplifying embodiment of a body supportaccording to the present invention;Figure 3b is a top view ofthe first part of the body support shown in Figure 3a; and Figure 3c is a side view of a second part of the said third exemplifying embodiment. ln all Figures, the last two digits of each reference numeral indicate the same or correspond- ing parts.

Figure 2 is not drawn to scale; however Figures 1 and Figures 3a-3c, respectively, show arespective example of an embodiment ofthe present invention which is generally drawn to scale.

Hence, Figure 1 shows a body support 100 according to the present invention. The bodysupport 100 is associated with a use orientation, arranged to allow a user P (see Figure 2)to lie belly down in a use position on the body support 100 in question. This use orientationis generally illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, and involves a first 110; 210 and a second 120;220 part ofthe body support 100; 200 in question standing directly on a supporting surface(not shown), such as an indoors or outdoors floor or the ground. ln this use orientation, thebelow-discussed slanting surfaces 111, 112, 121, 122; 211, 212, 221, 222 are arranged fac-ing generally upwards, being visible when viewed vertically from above. ln the use orienta-tion, the first 110; 210 and second 120;220 parts are arranged one next to the other, suchas in direct physical contact to each other or (as may be the case) joined together as onesingle, connected part (see below). ln the use orientation, the fourth surface 112; 212 (see below) may connect directly to the second surface 121; 221. ln the use orientation, the body support 100; 200; 300 is generally associated with a longi- tudinal L direction, which corresponds to the left-right horizontal direction in Figures 2-3c.

The body support 100 comprises a first part 110, in the form of a user P chest support part.This first part 110 in turn comprises a first surface 111 having an end edge 111e. The endedge 111e, which may separate the first surface 111 from the fourth surface 112 (see be- low); which also may form the highest point ofthe first part 110 in said use orientation; and Application text, 2018-12-11 1SO0S3SE which may be horizontally or at least substantially horizontally extending, may also be ar-ranged to run perpendicularly or at least substantially perpendicularly to the said longitudi- nal direction L of the body support 100.

Furthermore, the first surface 111 is in the form of a slanting user P chest support surface,which is arranged to support the chest of a user P , when the body support 100 is in saiduse orientation and the user lies belly-down in said use position. ln this use position, inparticular for smaller users such as children, the first surface 111 can be arranged in relationto the second surface 121 so that the armpits ofthe user P rest over an said end edge 111eof the first surface 111. For larger users, the armpits of the user may be located above theend edge 111e, such as substantially vertically above the end edge 111e, in said use orien-tation. Preferably, the first surface 111; 211; 311 is long and wide enough to support the user P down to at least the waist ofthe user P. ln this use position, the majority of the weight ofthe user P may be supported (via the upperparts of the user's P body) by the first surface 111, even though in some cases the firstsurface 111 may be short enough so as to allow the user's P waist to be outside of the firstsurface 111 in the use position. At the same time, the majority of the weight of the user's Phead H is supported, primarily via the user's P elbows and forearms, on the second surface121 (see below). Hence, the end edge 111e may support the user's P armpits, but preferablythe end edge 111e supports a weight ofthe user P which is less than the weight supportedby the second surface 121. ln some cases, the edge 111e may even not be in contact withthe user's P armpits. lt is realized that, since the end edge 111e may be made from softmaterial, that the end edge 111e "supports" the user's P armpits, this means that it is thefirst part 110; 210; 310 comprising the end edge 111e that supports said armpits from anarea of the first part 110; 210; 310 comprising the end edge 111e. For larger users, thesurface 121 and the surface 111 may jointly support a majority of the user's body weight when in said use orientation As mentioned, the body support 100 also comprises a second part 120, in the form of acombined user P elbow and device E support. The second part 120 comprises a second sur- face 121, in the form of a user P elbow and lower arm support surface. When the body Application text, 2018-12-11 1SO0S3SE support 100 is in said use orientation and the user P is in the use position, lying belly downwith the user's P elbows resting on the second surface 121, the second surface 121 is ar- ranged to support the lower arms ofthe user P.

According to the invention, when the body support 100 is in the use orientation, the secondsurface 121 slants towards the same direction as the first surface 111. This is most clearlyi||ustrated in Figures 1 and 2, where it is clear that the first 111; 211 and second 121;221surfaces together form a zig-zag-like pattern, both slanting upwards to the left in said Fig-ures, interrupted by the downwards offsetting fourth surface 112; 212, slanting downwards to the left (see below). ln particular, a lower-most part of the second surface 112 may be lower than the end edge111e, so that the user's P elbows will be supported on the second surface 112 from a point on the second surface 112 arranged below the end edge 111e.

Further according to the invention, the second part 120 also comprises a device support means 123, arranged to support a device E to be viewed by the user P in said use position.

The device E may be any type of electronic equipment having a screen, such as asmartphone, a tablet computer or similar; a book or paper; or any other item which theuser desires to look at or view. Prefera bly, the device E is ofthe type requiring some physicalinteraction from the user's P hands, such as for typing, scrolling, page turning and similar.Hence, in the use position, the user P will typically lie forearms/hands forward, having her hands close to the device E.

Also according to the present invention, the device support means 123 is arranged to sup-port the device E from below (of the device E), so that the whole supported device E is arranged above said end edge 111e of the first part 110.

The present inventors have discovered that this provides, in a simple design, a very ergo-nomic user P experience when lying in said use position on the use-oriented body support 100; 200; 300. ln particular, the combination ofthe slanting first surface 111 of the first part Application text, 2018-12-11 1SO0S3SE 110 and the slanting second surface 121 of the second part 120 will support the user's Pchest and elbows so as to achieve an ergonomically correct user posture for prolonged lying.The fact that the device E is supported above the end edge 111e guarantees that the userP does not lie with her head H bent forward, but instead encourages the user P to hold herhead H in an upright position. The combination of the posture resulting from the slantingsurfaces 111, 121 and the upright position of the head H provides an ergonomically veryadvantageous user P position, useful for lying during prolonged time periods for avoiding musculoskeletal injuries resulting from strain due to ergonomically incorrect postures.

Especially advantageous embodiments will be described in the following.

As is illustrated in the Figures, the body support 100; 200; 300 may be provided as a set ofparts, which parts can be arranged one adjacent to the other on a support so as to form thebody support in question. More particularly, the first 110; 210; 310 and second 120; 220;320 parts may be arranged as separate parts, and arranged to be placed one next to theother to form the body support 100; 200; 300 in the above defined use orientation of thebody support. An example of the first part 310 is illustrated in Figures 3a and 3b; an exampleofthe second part 320 is illustrated in Figure 3c; and a respective example ofthe assembledparts 110, 120; 210, 220; 310, 320 is illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. Hence, it is preferred thatthe parts 110, 120; 210, 220; 310, 320 are placed together on the support with direct phys-ical contact one to the other, second surface 121; 221; 321 adjacent to fourth surface 112; 212; 313 as is illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.

Such modularity provides not only more flexible storage, but also the possibility to use thefirst 110; 210; 310 and second 120; 220; 320 parts separately. However, in other embodi- ments, the whole body support is provided as one single, integrated part.

The body support 100; 200 may provide the desired function for the user P ifthe parts 110, 120; 210, 220 are simply placed together on the support in said use orientation, without being attached one to the other.

Application text, 2018-12-11 1SO0S3SE However, it is preferred that the first 110; 210; 310 and second 120; 220; 320 parts arearranged with cooperating fastening means 230 (see Figure 2), such as Velcro® or buttonfastening means, arranged to cooperatively and releasably fasten the first part 210 to thesecond part 220 so as to form the body support 200 in question. ln Figure 2, the fasteningmeans 320 is i||ustrated as a separate part, for fastening to corresponding cooperating fas-tening means (such as a Velcro® strip, a button eye or similar) to each ofthe parts 210; 220.However, it is realized that the cooperating fastening means may include a part perma-nently attached to the first 210 or the second 220 part, and arranged to detachably fastento the other part 220 or 210, respectively. A special case of the latter is that the fasteningmeans 230 comprises a pair of cooperating button/eye or Velcro® fastening means, eachpermanently fastened to a respective part 210, 220 each, for direct and detachable attach- ment of the first part 210 to the second part 220. ln the case in which the fastening means 230 is a separate part (as i||ustrated in Figure 2), itis preferably a flexible strip having a Velcro® upper surface, arranged to cooperate with acorresponding Velcro® lower surface on each of the first 210 and second 220 parts, for easyattachment by simply placing the part 210; 220 in question on the fastening means 230 on the support. ln this and other cases, the body support 200, and in particular the fastening means 230and/or the first 210 and/or the second 220 part, comprises anti-slip means 240 on a bottomside of the body support 100 when the body support 100 is in the use orientation. Hence,the fastening means 230 may comprise such anti-slip means 240 on its opposite side from the said Velcro® upper surface.

Such an anti-slip means 240 may, for instance, be in the form of an exposed latex or rubbersurface, or any other high-friction surface arranged to directly abut a support on which the body support 200 rests in its use orientation.

As is i||ustrated in the Figures, the first surface 111; 211; 311 has a concave shape (bulgingdown as i||ustrated for instance in Figure 1), having a radius of curvature 111r of between 1.5 and 3 meters, which radius of curvature is substantially within this interval across the Application text, 2018-12-11 1SO0S3SE entire longitudinal L length of the first surface 111; 211; 311. The part of the first surface111; 211; 311 which is curved this way is preferably between 30 cm and 60 cm of longitudi- nal L length.

As will be described below, the first 110; 210; 310 and second 120; 220; 320 parts may bemanufactured from soft or rigid material. lt is realized that the curvature of the first surface111; 211; 311 described herein is achieved when the user P rests on the first surface 111;211; 311, supported thereon in said use position of the user P and in said use orientation ofthe body support 100; 200; 300. Hence, the material of the first part 110; 210; 310 mayyield to a certain extent due to the weight of the user P, and as a result achieve said radius of curvature.

Also, the curvature of the first surface 111; 211; 311 may preferably be arranged to connectto the support of the body support 100; 200; 300 in a soft, substantially tangential way, as is illustrated in the Figures.

Such a first surface 111; 211; 311 curvature, in combination with the properties of the sec-ond part 120; 220; 320 as described herein, has been found to result in an ergonomically correct spine posture ofthe user P when in said use position.

The first part 110; 210; 310 and/or the second part 120; 220; 320 may have a generallytriangular vertical cross-section, along said longitudinal direction L, when the body support 100; 200; 300 is in said use orientation.

Regarding the second surface 121; 221; 321, this is preferably also concave, having a radiusof curvature 121r of between 0.5 and 2 meters, preferably between 0.8 and 1.2 meters.What has been said about the first surface 111; 211; 311 curvature and its relation to theweight of the user P and the material of the first part 110; 210; 310 yielding under thisweight, is correspondingly applicable to the second surface 121; 221; 321; the weight posedthereon by the user's P elbows and forearms; and the material of the second part 120; 220; 320.

Application text, 2018-12-11 1SO0S3SE The second surface 121; 221; 321 has smoothly bent side edges (running along the longitu-dinal direction L), curving in a non-sharp, continuous manner into respective |atera| sides ofthe second part 120; 220; 320. Furthermore, the second part 120; 220; 320 may be madefrom one or several materials providing a resilience to the weight of a user thereon whichis substantially the same or at least similar across substantially the whole second surface121; 221; 321, such as across a width section of at least 30 cm. This may, for instance, beachieved using a rigid (such as made from EPS) core part, covered by a soft padding materialproviding surface comfort. Such a construction will allow the user P to adjust her position slightly during use, which is ergonomically advantageous. lrrespectively ofthe absolute value of the radii of curvatures 111r;121r, the concave radiusof curvature 121r ofthe second surface 121; 221; 321 is preferably about half ofthe concaveradius of curvature 111r of the first surface 111; 211; 311. See Figure 3c for a concrete ex- ample of this.

Such a second surface 121; 221; 321 curvature has been found to result in excellent ergo-nomics, when combined with the properties of the first part 110; 210; 310 as described herein.

When the body support 100; 200; 300 is in said use orientation, a horizontal plane projec-tion of the second surface 121; 221; 321 may run, in said longitudinal direction L, at leastbetween the said end edge 111e; 211e; 311e and the device support means 123; 223; 323.The second surface 121; 221; 321 preferably has the above described curvature across this whole longitudinal direction L extent of the second surface 121; 221; 321.

Turning to the device support means 123; 223; 323, the purpose of this is to support thedevice E in a secure and simple manner. One way of achieving this is that the device supportmeans 123; 223; 323 is in the form of a step in a vertical cross-section ofthe second surface121; 221; 321, as is illustrated in the Figures. Then, the device E is arranged to rest with alower edge of the device E on this step. The said vertical cross-section is the vertical cross-section when the body support 200 is in use orientation as is shown, for instance, in Figure 2 (plan of paper in Figure 2).

Application text, 2018-12-11 1SO0S3SE lO Furthermore, the second surface 121; 221; 321, as seen in the same vertical cross-section,may continue past the said step in the longitudinal direction L, away from the first part 110;210; 310 when the body support 100; 200; 300 is in said use orientation, providing a thirdsurface 122; 222; 322 in the form of a slanting supporting surface arranged to support a back side ofthe device E resting on the said step.

This provides a very sturdy and simple way of achieving an ergonomically correct placement ofthe device E in relation to the user P.

Specifically regarding the said third surface 122; 222; 322, this surface may be arranged toslant at an angle 122a (see Figure 1) of between 10° and 40°, preferably between 25° and35°, from the vertical. The third surface 122; 222; 322 may comprise a substantially flatsurface against which the device E, supported on the support means 123; 223; 323, may lean. ln order to achieve an ergonomically correct user P posture in said use position, the deviceE may be located, when the body support 100; 200;300 is in said use orientation and thedevice E is supported by the device support means 123; 223; 323, at a horizontal distanceof between 0.3 and 0.5 m from the said end edge 111e; 211e; 311e. Also, the height ofthedevice support means 123; 223; 323 may be arranged such that a horizontal gaze G of theuser P in said use position will intersect the device E, preferably intersect the device E near a vertical centre ofthe device E or near a vertical centre of a screen ofthe device E.

I\/|oreover, the device support means 123; 223; 323 may be arranged to support a lowerside ofthe device E from below at a height of between 0.15 and 0.25 m, preferably between0.18 and 0.22 m, from the surface supporting the body support 100; 200; 300 in said use orientation. lt is realized that, in order to optimize the user experience from an ergonomic point of view, it is possible to adapt the body support 100; 200; 300 for a particular user P size and/or a Application text, 2018-12-11 1SO0S3SE ll particular type/size of device E; or it is possible to provide an adjustment means for adjust-ing the height ofthe device support means 123; 223; 323 at use time. However, the presentinventors have discovered that, when the geometric principles described herein are ob-served regarding the first 110; 210; 310 and second 120;220; 320 parts, sufficiently ergo-nomic results are achieved across a wide spectrum of user P sizes and for many commonlyused devices, such as handheld electronic devices and books, without having to providesuch adjustability. Hence, in a preferred embodiment, no adjustability is provided, such asfor the device support means 123; 223; 323, for adjusting at use-time the height of the supported device E.

The end edge 111e; 211e; 311e may be arranged at a height from said surface supportingthe body support 100; 200; 300 of between 0.1 and 0.2 m, preferably between 0.12 and0.16 m.

To even further improve the user P experience from an ergonomic perspective, the first pa rt110; 210; 310 may also comprise a fourth surface 112; 212; 312, as is illustrated in the Fig-ures. The fourth surface 112; 212; 312 may then be in the form of a (forward) slanting userP upper arm support surface, arranged to support the upper arms of the user P in the useposition at an angle 112a (see Figure 1), slanting downwards in a direction opposite to aslanting direction of the first surface 111; 211; 311. The slanting angle is preferably more than 45°, preferably between 0° and 30°, from the vertical.

Further preferably, when the body support 100; 200; 300 is in the use orientation, and asseen in the above mentioned vertical cross-section along the longitudinal direction L, a tan-gent to the second surface 121; 221; 321 at a lower end ofthe second surface 121; 221; 321is arranged to intersect a tangent to the fourth surface 112; 212; 312, or to intersect thefourth surface 112; 212; 312 itself, at a height from the (floor) surface supporting the bodysupport 100; 200; 300 of between 0.06 and 0.08 m.

As described above, the fourth surface 112; 212; 312 preferably slants downwards in theforward longitudinal direction L, and the first 110; 210; 310 and second 120; 220; 320 may be arranged to be in direct contact with each other in said use orientation. As shown in Application text, 2018-12-11 1SO0S3SE 12 Figures 1 and 2, it may also so that the shape of the second part 120; 220; 320 at the pointof contact with the first part 110; 210; 310 is complementary to a corresponding contactingshape ofthe first part 110; 210; 310. ln practice, the second part 220 may comprise a slant-ing fifth surface 224 (see Figure 2) with a slanting angle corresponding to the slanting angleof the fourth surface 212 (which angle may be the same as the slanting angle 112a abovethe above the intersection) below the intersection with the second surface 221 tangent, sothat the fourth 212 and fifth 224 surfaces are substantially parallel and in contact with eachother in said use orientation of the body support 200. ln this case, the above-discussed fas-tening means 130 may comprise interacting fastening means, such as Velcro® fasteningmeans, arranged directly on the fourth 212 and fifth 224 surfaces, so that they are auto-matically activated when the first 210 and second 220 are brought together so as to form the body support 200 in said use orientation.

Either one or both of the first 110; 210; 310 and second 120; 220; 320 parts may advanta-geously be manufactured from a foam material, having a textile or non-woven surfacecover. Such foam material may be provided throughout the part 110, 120; 210, 220; 310,320 in question, or be provided with a rigid core, such as a core of EPS foam or other rigid plastic material.
