Description

SPINE RELAXATION DOG

The subject of the invention is a belt for relieving the spine, more precisely, it is a device that relieves the spine and at the same time keeps it in the correct position when the user is sitting.

In modern times, more and more work is done sitting down, in the office, e.g. behind the computer, we spend more and more time in a sitting position while driving. The spine is very stressed, because most of the time a person in a sitting position unconsciously does not maintain the correct posture or it is too strenuous. The invention therefore also belongs to the field of greater safety at work.

The problem solved by the invention is how to relieve the human spine (and thus related body parts) and keep it in the correct position, either when an individual is sitting behind an office or other chair, while driving or elsewhere where a longer sitting position is not possible. to avoid. Due to long sitting, an individual's posture becomes more and more unnatural and tiring. According to doctors, sitting on a relatively immobile sitting for several days also causes burning and unpleasant pain at the level of the lumbar spine, if it is not properly supported in this part. The technical problem solved by the invention is the design of such a device, which will relieve the user's spine while sitting, keep it in the correct position and thus contribute to its health and well-being, while being easy to use and simple and cheap in terms of serial production, making it accessible to all people and ultimately useful for the widest possible range of users, both office workers, drivers, as well as people with disabilities and other people who are forced to use a wheelchair and can practically avoid sitting.

There are already quite a few devices and devices that relieve the burden on the spine, and many of them are also patent-protected. Most of them are relatively complex and expensive devices, useful especially for medical purposes, for top athletes and the like. The invention according to the patent SI22235 describes a device for relieving the spine, which is intended in particular for therapeutic measures prescribed for disease defects or injuries of the spine, especially in the area of the lumbar (lumbar vertebrae). The device comprises a chair with a loop that the patient wraps around his head, and the chair can be lowered until the spine is relieved.

The invention according to patent FR2998475 describes a flexible cylindrical cushion that fits the spine in the lumbar region and is attached to the patient with a belt and supports his spine. It is intended primarily for patients and not healthy people. An inventor of the invention claimed in patent SI23961 also imagined a kind of convex ice support. In contrast, the invention which is the subject of the present patent application does not presuppose a kind of cushion on the spine, the support of the spine is only the back of the chair, but a key part of the support according to the invention rests on the user's abdomen.

There are also many different chairs on the market and among patent applications that make it easier for the user to sit and ensure proper posture, e.g. SI20455, SI23259, TWM496505, WO2015076499, CN204105372, etc. These chairs are certainly effective, but the user in this case must buy and use the entire chair. The present invention, on the other hand, can be used on any chair, is light and portable, and can be used anywhere: at home, at work, in a car, on a plane, bus, train, work machine, wheelchair, theater , in waiting rooms, etc.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with a description of an embodiment and the submitted drawings, which show:

S 1.6: Demonstration of the use of the invention - attaching the invention around the user's abdomen.

Sl. 7: Demonstration of the use of the invention - fastening around the abdomen with additional belts.

The belt for relieving the spine consists of interconnected or. sewn parts. The embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 7 is intended for use on various chairs, e.g. office and automobile having a single (full) backrest X. In this case, the invention is carried out with an opening 1 located between the outer 4A and the inner layer 4B. Through the opening 1, the invention is mounted on a backrest X. In the middle between layers 2A and 2B, there are splints 3 made of a harder but still to some extent flexible material to be comfortable for the user, yet providing effective support. At the end of the strain relief belt, male hedgehogs 6B are placed, so it is important that the part in which the splints 2A are placed, ie with the side that, when using contact with male hedgehogs 6B, from female hedgehogs or. from a suitable material to which the male hedgehogs attach well. Two additional belts 5 and 5 'made of elastic or 5' are sewn on the belt for relieving the spine. extensible material with which the user regulates the fastening force. On their inner side is also mounted a certain fastening system 5B, e.g. male hedgehogs clinging to work with splints 2A.

Figures 3 to 7 show the use of the invention. The invention is mounted on the back of chair X via opening 1, as shown in Figures 3 and 4. The user then sits on a chair, presses part 4B with his back and sets part 2B (or from the outside 2A), ie part with braces 3 over the abdomen, as shown in Figure 5. Then, with the part of the belt on which the male hedgehogs 6B are located, fasten the belt, as shown in Figure 6. Finally, use additional belts 5 and 5 ', on which they are also sewn. male hedgehogs 5B, and with the strength that suits him best, additionally fasten the belt to the body. Each user has the option of regulating the pressure of the front part to their liking.

The essence of the invention is that it keeps the user in the correct position while sitting and at the same time relieves the spine in such a way that it connects the user to the back of the chair with a force of their choice or. feeling. The invention is made of relatively flexible materials that allow movement to a certain extent, which means that the user is not completely fixed behind the chair. In addition to this function in "quiet" sitting, e.g. behind the computer, the invention is very useful on the seats of work vehicles and machines (tractors, baguettes, various elevators, forklifts, etc.) where the body is exposed to various vibrations and shocks, as its function dampens (absorbs) all these vibrations.

The invention can be carried out in various ways in the way of attaching it to a chair, the opening 1 described being only one of the possibilities. The parts that fit the user's back from the outside 4A or inside 4B can be joined together, ie without opening 1, but elastic straps are installed on the outside, which can be fastened and adjusted so that they can be effectively attached to different the shape of the backrests, even in the case where the handles of the chair are placed high, in the case of wheelchairs and the like.

In any case, the invention effectively supports the spine and relieves those parts of the spine that are most stressed during this sitting, while still allowing some movement of the body and therefore giving the user a feeling of comfort. The invention is mobile and can be used on all types of seats with a backrest, complementing the purpose of the backrest, as it also offers support from the front. The spine relief belt balances vertical forces and improves posture, relieves back pain and is therefore beneficial for health, well-being, greater satisfaction and better productivity in the workplace. The support also reduces the pressure on the arms during any sitting work.

The invention can also be used on its own, without a chair with a backrest, since even in this case the front support 3 stabilizes the abdominal muscles and the lumbar region of the back.

The invention can be made in different sizes, as well as different basic designs for men and women.
