Description

Posture Corrector Using Air

The present invention relates to a posture corrector using air, and more particularly, to a posture corrector using air for easily correcting posture for a bent waist of middle and high school students through an air device.

Recently, modern people may be exposed to serious diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, etc. due to their long-term sedentary lifestyle, and if they sit in the wrong posture for a long time, they may be exposed to spinal diseases. In most cases, the wrong posture is due to habit, and it is difficult for the seated person to recognize and correct it continuously.

In addition, when seated in a chair, stress may be applied to the sacroiliac joint, a joint that connects the pelvis and the spine due to an imbalance of the pelvis, and this sprain or stress in the sacroiliac joint causes pelvic pain and lower back pain. In other words, the imbalance of the pelvis causes pelvic pain, especially pain in the buttocks, and low back pain, and even when seated in a chair, it causes a lot of discomfort and pain.

An object of the present invention is to provide a posture corrector using air that allows easy posture correction of the bent waist of middle and high school students through an air device.

The posture corrector using air according to an embodiment of the present invention has a designated shape for supporting the waist and back of the human body, and is provided in an air tube containing air therein, and the waist in the air tube. It supports a waist, and includes a correction frame unit for correcting posture by uniformly maintaining air distribution in the air tube.

When the air tube does not contain air, the air tube may have a'ㅗ' shape, and when it contains air, the air tube may have a'ㅛ' shape.

The posture corrector may further include a wearable covering part to be worn on the human body by attaching the air tube.

The wearable cover part is a'ㅗ'-shaped base cover part to which the air tube is coupled, and between the base cover part and the air tube so as to be tightened at the waist by extending to the shoulder hangers over both shoulders of the human body. It may include a tightening strap provided in the.

The tightening strap portion may be provided in a'ℓ' shape.

The correction frame portion, a first correction frame portion provided horizontally with respect to the bottom surface at the waist portion, a second correction frame portion provided on the upper side horizontally with the first correction frame portion, and vertical to the second correction frame portion It may include a third correction frame that is formed to extend.

The third correction frame portion may include a plurality of correction frames directed to the back portion, and the correction frame of the spine portion may be formed to be long.

The correction frame portion may be formed of an elastic material having an elastic force.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, since air can be injected while wearing the posture corrector, air injection can be easily performed, and when not in use, air can be easily discharged.

In addition, by providing an air passage with a correction frame inside the air tube, air can be ergonomically injected and supported to fit the back structure of the human body.

Further, by inducing the injection of air in the air tube by the correction frame unit, the air injection becomes easy as a whole, so that the air distribution becomes uniform, and thus the force to support the body becomes uniform, which will be effective in correcting the posture of middle and high school students, for example.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a view showing one side of a posture corrector using air according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a view showing an air injection unit provided in area A of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is the other side of the posture corrector of FIG. It is a drawing showing.

1 to 3, the posture corrector (hereinafter, posture corrector) 90 using air according to an embodiment of the present invention is Includes some or all.

Here, "including some or all" means that a part of the wearing

cover parts

100, 110, 120 is omitted, or some components can be formed by being integrated with other components, etc. It will be described as including all in order to help a sufficient understanding of the invention.

The wearing cover (100, 110, 120) attaches or couples the air tube 130 to allow the air tube 130 to be worn on the human body (or body), and the air tube 130 can function effectively. In order to be able to do so, it performs the action of making it close to the human body. Accordingly, the wearing cover portion (100, 110, 120) is a base skin that attaches the air tube 130 (e.g., lockstitch, etc.) so that the air tube 130 can effectively contact the waist and back of the human body. Includes a tightening strap portion (110, 120) to help the air tube (130) in close contact with the abdomen (100) and a human body (for example, waist and back), where the tightening strap portions (110, 120) are on both shoulders of the human body. It may be divided into a shoulder portion 110 and a waist tightening portion 120 extending from the shoulder portion 110 so as to be tightened at the waist.

The base covering portion 100 may be formed of a relatively soft material such as an artificial family, and the tightening

strap portions

110 and 120 may be formed of various materials such as nylon. Since the base covering portion 100 is for coupling the air tube 130, it is preferable to have the same or similar shape as the air tube 130 as a whole. Only then can the combination be easier. Of course, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to such a form. For example, if the air tube 130 has a'ㅗ' shape as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 in order to correct the bent waist of students by compressing the waist and back of the human body, the base covering portion 100 is also In order to facilitate the attachment of the'ㅗ'-shaped air tube 130, it may have the same or similar shape.

Of course, the base covering part 100 may further include a belt part to wrap the waist of the human body like a belt after attaching the air tube 130. Accordingly, one side of the belt part may further include a Velcro part called "Tick", or may further include a fastening part called "Tick". In addition, the base covering portion 100 may further include a through structure for passing through the tightening

strap portions

110 and 120 between the air tube 130 and the air tube 130. For example, at the intersection, the upper and lower sides are sewn to the base covering part 100 using a sewing machine (machine), and the right and left sides are opened. Therefore, the tightening straps extending from the shoulder strap 110 are exposed to the outside by crossing each other at the intersection of the waist. Therefore, when pulling the tightening strap of the waist tightening unit 120 exposed from the air tube 130 to be exposed to the outside, more precisely, the sitting posture is corrected while the back portion is straightened through the shoulder hook unit 110 And the waist is also in a straight posture.

It can be seen that the tightening

strap portions

110 and 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention have the overall shape of the shoulder hook portion 110 and the waist tightening portion 120 in a'L' shape. The drawstrings cross each other at the waist, and it may be possible enough to simply fix a member of a fabric material having a penetrating structure at the intersection as mentioned above. Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is illustrated that the tightening

strap portions

110 and 120 are provided in a'L' shape, but since it may be formed in the form of an elastic band, in the embodiment of the present invention, It will not be specifically limited to the fastening structure to be tightened.

In addition, when lifting the waist tightening part 120 in the area A of FIG. 1, the base covering part 100 is air in the air tube 130 attached to the base covering part 100 as shown in FIG. 2. It includes an air injection unit 101 for injecting air). The air injection unit 101 is preferably connected by an air tube 130. Since the air injection unit 101 according to the embodiment of the present invention allows air injection from one side in consideration of the aesthetic aspect of the posture corrector 90, therefore, the air injected through the air injection unit 101 is an air tube It should be considered important to ensure even distribution within (130). In other words, assuming that the air inlet unit 101 is located on the right side, since the air pressure is not high at a distance from the air inlet 101, the left side is not well injected and the force to support the body is weak. . Therefore, in order to compensate for this, a calibration frame part is provided in the air tube 130, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 4.

Of course, the air injection unit 101 may be formed in various positions. However, it is preferable to be located as close as possible in consideration of the size or attachment position of the air tube 130, and in particular, it is preferable to be provided on one side in consideration of the aesthetic aspect of the product. Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to such a position.

It is preferable that the air tube 130 is ergonomically injected with air to be supported to fit the structure of a person, that is, a human body. To this end, an air passage is made through the correction frame part provided inside the air tube 130, and two air passages are formed in the upper part, that is, the back part, and the air is injected through the correction frame part in the lower part, that is, the waist part. To induce the air to be easily injected as a whole. In other words, the air tube 130 prevents a difference in force applied to the body part from occurring due to the non-uniform distribution of air as mentioned above. Therefore, the air is easily injected through the internal correction frame and can be evenly distributed therein, thereby maximizing the effect of posture correction.

When the air tube 130 is viewed in FIG. 1, it can be seen that the outer edge has an approximately'ㅗ' shape. However, when air is injected into the interior, the air tube 130 has a'ㅛ' shape. When air is injected, it can be seen that air is injected from the back of the human body through the two air passages on both sides of the spine, thereby compressing the muscles on both sides of the spine. When tightening occurs through the tightening

straps

110 and 120, the air injected into the two air passages on both sides of the air tube 130 pressurizes the back of the human body and allows the back to be straightened. You will be able to maintain a straight posture in the waist area as well.

In this way, the air tube 130 according to the embodiment of the present invention allows the air injected into the interior through the calibration frame part provided inside the air tube 130 to be evenly distributed over the entire area, and also provides a waist area. Support to ensure ergonomic air injection. Of course, the air pump as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 may be used for air injection, and the amount of air injection is databaseed based on this, so that customized air injection can be performed according to the physique or body index of students.

In addition, since the air tube 130 according to the embodiment of the present invention can inject air while wearing the posture corrector 90, it is easy to inject air, and when not in use, the air injection unit 101 The air can be easily discharged by pressing the upper part of it so that the air is automatically discharged. In this way, since the posture corrector 90 is convenient to use, anyone can use the posture corrector 90 according to an embodiment of the present invention for posture correction without burden.

4 is an exemplary view of a calibration frame provided in the air tube of FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 4, the inside of the air tube 130 of FIG. 1 includes

calibration frame parts

401, 403, and 405.

The

correction frame portions

401, 403, and 405 may be formed of a soft elastic material because they are bent inside the air tube 130. Of course, since the air tube 130 may be formed of a poly material, a soft material is suitable in consideration of damage, and a relatively strong elastic material may be preferable since it must support the waist. The internal

calibration frame portions

401, 403, and 405 may be provided by being fixed to one side of the air tube 130, or may be provided in a form where both sides are fixed to the air tube 130. The shape provided inside may be various.

Above all, as seen in FIG. 4, the

correction frame portions

401, 403, 405 are horizontally disposed with respect to the floor surface while wearing the posture corrector 90, and the first correction frame disposed below the waist The part 401, a second calibration frame part 403 disposed horizontally above the first calibration frame part 401, and a third calibration frame part formed by extending vertically from the second calibration frame part 403 (405) may be included.

Here, the second calibration frame part 403 disposed on the upper side is formed longer than the first calibration frame part 401. Such a structure may also be related to trying to keep the distribution of air injected therein evenly. In addition, the third calibration frame unit 405 includes a plurality of calibration frames. The correction frame of the spine is formed longer than the surrounding correction frame. For example, the length of the correction frame may be increased sequentially from the periphery to the spine (eg, when three or more correction frames are provided). This form could be considered to maximize the corrective effect.

The

calibration frame portions

401, 403, and 405 of FIG. 4 according to an embodiment of the present invention allow the air injected from one side of the air tube 130 to be uniformly distributed inside the air tube 130, and It can play a role of supporting the waist area. In addition, since two air passages 410 are formed in the back part of the human body, in this regard, air is ergonomically injected through the internal

correction frame parts

401, 403, 405 so that they are supported according to the structure of the back. I can.

The air pressure is not high at a place far from the air injection unit 101, and therefore, when air is injected from the right side, the left side is not well injected, so that the force to support the body is weak, but for example, the second correction frame located in the center Air is guided by the portion 403 so that air can be sufficiently injected into the left side.

Of course, the structure of the

calibration frame units

401, 403, and 405 of FIG. 4 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be changed. In other words, the structure or shape may be changed depending on where the air injection is performed in the air tube 130, and above all, in the embodiment of the present invention, the

calibration frame parts

401, 403, and 405 are used as the air tube. It is to be provided in the interior of 130 to facilitate air injection, and through this, it is intended to increase the correction effect by allowing the air to be uniformly distributed inside. In addition, the

correction frame parts

401, 403, and 405 are considered so that air injection is made ergonomically.

For example, there may be changes depending on the shape of the air tube 130, such as that the ergonomic air injection is made so that there is a difference in the force applied to a specific part of the body.

In addition, it is preferable that the

correction frame portions

401, 403, and 405 according to an embodiment of the present invention support the waist region as much as possible so that the back region is naturally corrected in posture.

Considering the above contents comprehensively, in the embodiment of the present invention, the

correction frame units

401, 403, and 405 will not be specifically limited to any one form.

5 and 6 are views showing an air pump according to an embodiment of the present invention.

5 and 6, the air pump (or pump) 490 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 500 and

air pumping units

510 and 520.

The air pump 490 according to the embodiment of the present invention may be separated into a three-stage structure, as can be seen in FIG. 6. The

air pumping parts

510 and 520 include a valve fastening part 510 and a valve part 520, and the

air pumping parts

510 and 520 are coupled to the main body 500, and the air pump ( 490).

After the air pump 490 of FIG. 5 is fastened to the air injection unit 101 of FIG. 2, external air is transferred to the air inlet 511 through a vertical reciprocating motion, that is, a piston motion. It is ejected from and is injected through the air injection unit 101.

In this way, when external air is injected into the air injection unit 101 during the piston movement, the valve unit 520 of the

air pumping units

510 and 520 is opened, and through this, external air is transferred to the air injection unit 101. Conversely, when the main body 500 is released, that is, when the pumping operation is released, the valve part 520 closes the air injection part 101 so that the injected air is not discharged to the outside. have. Of course, when performing the pumping action, the

air pumping units

510 and 520 will press the upper portion of the air injection unit 101 to open the passage. Air can be injected in this state. For example, the air injection unit 101 may be provided with a switch or a damper forming a passage in one direction.

Since the air pump 490 is manufactured in a small size, for example, while wearing the posture corrector 90 of FIG. 1, it is possible to inject air through the air pump 490 while detecting the degree to which air is injected. Through this, the air in the air tube 130 may be automatically discharged to the outside by pressing the upper portion of the air injection unit 101 for air discharge.

Furthermore, when the air pump 490 according to the embodiment of the present invention is standardized, the injection amount of air is measured, and when the pumping amount is standardized according to the body size, the air pump 490 When pumping ), it will be possible to use by maximizing the ergonomic function of the posture corrector (90).

For convenience of explanation, referring to FIG. 7 together with FIG. 1, the posture corrector 90 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes air in the air tube 130 having a designated shape to cover the waist and back of the human body. It is positioned to support (S700). For this purpose, more precisely, it is preferable to inject air into the air tube 130 while wearing the posture corrector 90. Of course, after injecting a certain amount of air into the air tube 130, it may be possible to wear the posture corrector 90 and continue to inject air again.

In addition, the posture corrector 90 supports the lower back through a correction frame provided at the lower back in the air tube 130 and maintains a uniform air distribution in the air tube 130 to correct the posture (S710).

In other words, when air is injected into the air tube 130, air injection is facilitated through the calibration frame portion in the air tube 130, that is, it is induced, and the injected air is evenly distributed therethrough. Of course, evenly distributed may mean distribution according to ergonomic design. Air is injected into a specific area.

Of course, while wearing the posture corrector 90, users such as students may further include an operation of straightening the posture by tightening the tightening straps of the tightening

strap portions

110 and 120 as shown in FIG. 1. However, when the tightening string is formed in a flexible band shape, a separate tightening operation may be omitted, and thus the tightening operation is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In addition to the above contents, the posture corrector 90 of FIG. 1 may perform posture correction through various operations, and other details have been sufficiently described above, and thus the contents will be substituted.
