DESCRIPCIÓN DE UN MODO DE LLEVAR A CABO LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF A MODE OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Se describe a continuación una forma de llevar a cabo la invención que nos es limitativa sino meramente explicativa. A way of carrying out the invention that is not limiting but merely explanatory is described below.
La invención se refiere a un dispositivo basculante de respaldo para su uso junto con un asiento, ya sea junto con un respaldo ya existente o constituyendo el respaldo propiamente dicho, donde este dispositivo presenta una parte basculante de tal forma que la propia fuerza de empuje que el usuario ejerce sobre una parte del dispositivo al apoyarse, genera una fuerza de retroceso en otra parte del dispositivo que empuja la pelvis y contribuye a posicionar la columna vertebral. The invention refers to a tilting backrest device for use together with a seat, either together with an already existing backrest or constituting the backrest itself, where this device has a tilting part in such a way that the pushing force itself the user exerts on one part of the device when leaning, generates a recoil force in another part of the device that pushes the pelvis and helps to position the spine.
El dispositivo comprende: Una plancha A (2) sobre cuya cara frontal actúa el usuario y que acompaña el movimiento de la espalda. The device comprises: An iron A (2) on whose front face the user acts and which accompanies the movement of the back.
Una plancha B (3) unida a la cara posterior de la plancha A (2) A plate B (3) attached to the back face of plate A (2)
Un eje horizontal (7) dispuesto en una unión articulada (4) entre la plancha B y una plancha C sobre el que pivota, respecto de esa plancha C, el conjunto formado por la plancha A (2) y plancha B (3). A horizontal axis (7) arranged in an articulated joint (4) between plate B and a plate C on which the assembly formed by plate A (2) and plate B (3) pivots with respect to that plate C.
La plancha C (6) que se incorpora al respaldo de una silla y da soporte a la unión articulada (4) que soporta al eje (7). Plate C (6) that is incorporated into the back of a chair and supports the articulated joint (4) that supports the axis (7).
El eje horizontal (7) divide la plancha B (3) en una zona superior y una zona inferior de tal forma que al aplicarse una fuerza de avance en la zona superior de la plancha B se provoca un movimiento de retroceso de la zona inferior de la plancha B con una fuerza de retroceso directamente proporcional a la fuerza de avance. The horizontal axis (7) divides plate B (3) into an upper zone and a lower zone in such a way that when a forward force is applied to the upper zone of plate B, a backward movement of the lower zone of plate B with a recoil force directly proportional to the advance force.
Llamaremos fuerza de avance a la fuerza aplicada en dirección al respaldo y que provoca el movimiento de la parte superior de la plancha B hacia el respaldo. We will call forward force the force applied in the direction of the backrest and that causes the movement of the upper part of the plate B towards the backrest.
Llamaremos fuerza de retroceso a la fuerza, dirigida hacia el usuario y que provoca el movimiento, hacia la pelvis del usuario, de la parte inferior de la plancha B. We will call the recoil force the force, directed towards the user and that causes the movement, towards the user's pelvis, of the lower part of the plate B.
Una unión articulada entre la plancha B y la plancha C adecuada para posibilitar un movimiento de pivotaje sobre un eje horizontal dispuesto entre la plancha B y la C.An articulated joint between plate B and plate C suitable to enable a pivoting movement on a horizontal axis arranged between plate B and C.
La zona inferior de la plancha B (3) impulsada por esa fuerza de retroceso actúa sobre la pelvis del usuario y condiciona su posición, evitando de ese modo una postura encorvada de la espalda. The lower area of the plate B (3) driven by this recoil force acts on the user's pelvis and determines its position, thus avoiding a hunched back posture.
La plancha B presenta unas dimensiones cuya altura es de 14,5 cm. y el ancho de 20 cm. Plate B has dimensions whose height is 14.5 cm. and the width of 20 cm.
La plancha A (2) presenta un ancho de 20 cm. y una altura de 40 cm. Plate A (2) has a width of 20 cm. and a height of 40 cm.
La unión articulada (4), que en esta ejecución comprende una bisagra con eje, une la plancha B (3) con la plancha C (6) y el eje (7) permite el pivotaje de la plancha B (3) con respecto a la plancha C (6). The articulated joint (4), which in this execution includes a hinge with an axis, joins the plate B (3) with the plate C (6) and the axis (7) allows the pivoting of the plate B (3) with respect to plate C (6).
El eje (7) se ubica a una altura de 21 cm. desde el asiento. The axis (7) is located at a height of 21 cm. from the seat.
La unión articulada (4) se dispone sobre un complemento de grosor (5) donde el eje (7) queda dispuesto en el borde superior de dicho complemento facilitando el pivotaje de la plancha B (3) con respecto a la plancha C (6). La distancia entre la plancha B (3) y la plancha C (6) en el punto donde se encuentra el eje es de 1 ,7 cm. La distancia se mide en ese punto pues el único punto donde la distancia entre una y otra es constante. The articulated joint (4) is arranged on a thick complement (5) where the axis (7) is arranged on the upper edge of said complement, facilitating the pivoting of plate B (3) with respect to plate C (6). . The distance between plate B (3) and plate C (6) at the point where the axis is located is 1.7 cm. The distance is measured at that point as the only point where the distance between one and the other is constant.
El grosor total del conjunto formado por la plancha B (3), la plancha C (6) y la distancia entre ellas, tomada en el punto donde se encuentra el eje, es de 2,7 cm. lo que posibilita la adecuada basculación de la plancha B (3) con respecto a la plancha C (6).The total thickness of the set formed by plate B (3), plate C (6) and the distance between them, taken at the point where the axis is, is 2.7 cm. which enables the proper tilting of plate B (3) with respect to plate C (6).
La distancia entre el borde inferior de la plancha B (3) y el asiento es de 14 cm. The distance between the lower edge of the plate B (3) and the seat is 14 cm.
El eje (7) se localiza a una distancia de 7,8 cm desde el borde superior de la plancha B (3). The axis (7) is located at a distance of 7.8 cm from the upper edge of plate B (3).
La ubicación del eje (7) sobre la plancha B (3) se determina para establecer una compensación de fuerzas en determinados puntos de la espalda del usuario de tal modo que al aplicarse una fuerza de empuje sobre la parte superior de la plancha B (3), bien directamente o a través de la plancha A, la basculación de la plancha B sobre el eje genera un movimiento de retroceso, es decir en sentido contrario, de la zona inferior de la plancha B que puede transmitirse a la plancha A si la hay. The location of the axis (7) on the plate B (3) is determined to establish a compensation of forces in certain points of the user's back in such a way that when a pushing force is applied on the upper part of the plate B (3 ), either directly or through plate A, the tilting of plate B on the axis generates a backward movement, that is to say in the opposite direction, of the lower area of plate B that can be transmitted to plate A if there is one .
Este movimiento de retroceso con una fuerza proporcional a la fuerza de empuje, actúa sobre la pelvis del usuario y la posiciona, condicionando también la postura de la columna vertebral que de ese modo queda erguida. This backward movement with a force proportional to the pushing force, acts on the user's pelvis and positions it, also conditioning the posture of the vertebral column, which thus remains upright.
Por lo tanto para conseguir una adecuada posición de la pelvis y una postura erguida de la espalda se requiere que la plancha B (3) cuente con las dimensiones adecuadas establecidas anteriormente, con la adecuada distancia entre el borde inferior de la misma y el asiento y la adecuada distancia de separación entre la plancha B (2) y la plancha C (6) en el punto donde pivota el eje (7). Therefore, to achieve an adequate position of the pelvis and an upright posture of the back, it is required that the plate B (3) have the adequate dimensions established previously, with the adequate distance between its lower edge and the seat and the adequate separation distance between plate B (2) and plate C (6) at the point where the axis (7) pivots.
La plancha A (2) viene realizada en un material flexible. The plate A (2) is made of a flexible material.
La plancha B (3) está realizada en un material semi-rígido Plate B (3) is made of a semi-rigid material
Para mayor comodidad y practicidad el dispositivo se introduce en una funda (1) que presenta sección en “U” con sus extremos cerrados. For greater comfort and practicality, the device is inserted into a sheath (1) that has a "U" section with its closed ends.
La pared frontal de la funda queda enrasada por su lado libre con el borde superior de la plancha A (2) y el lado libre de la pared trasera queda enrasado con el borde superior de la plancha C (6). The free side of the front wall of the cover is flush with the upper edge of plate A (2) and the free side of the rear wall is flush with the upper edge of plate C (6).
