[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Many people suffer from back pain. Women and men who have the same posture often suffer from low back pain regardless of gender, but especially women have weak muscles and ligaments at the joints of the pelvis and lumbar vertebrae for the purpose of pregnancy and delivery. Low back pain due to pelvic deformation. Corsets that are used medically to relieve back pain are known. The corset is intended to fix the pelvis and the lumbar spine by applying a wide belt from the buttocks to the waist and wrapping the belt, and to keep the affected part from moving, thereby alleviating pain and promoting natural healing.

[0003]

FIG. 7 shows a conventional corset in which a wide belt extending from the waist to the abdomen is tightly wound around the body and wound around the body.
Although there is a certain effect on fixing the pelvis and lumbar spine, it restricts the main part of the torso, making it difficult to move in everyday life, causing less movement of the body and causing weakness and weakness Let it. Further, since only the entire part from the lumbar vertebra to the pelvis is fixed, the effect of correcting and healing, for example, when a specific lumbar part is affected is small. In addition, when the user moves, the entire corset slips up and is often displaced from the correct mounting position, so that there is no effect at all, and the mounting is often abandoned in a short period of time. In addition, when used by a fat person, if it is wound with a tension corresponding to the circumference of the buttocks, that is, the circumference of the pelvis, the internal organs are compressed by the abdomen, causing pain and thus the wear cannot be performed for a long time. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and one of its objects is to reduce the inconvenience in daily life, to be able to be worn for a long period of time, and to perform specific diseases such as open deformation of the pelvis itself and displacement of the lumbar spine. It is an object of the present invention to provide a waist-mounted belt device capable of exhibiting a corrective and therapeutic effect in accordance with the requirements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of a waist-mounted belt device (hereinafter, referred to as a "belt device") of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The belt device of the present invention is a belt device to be wound around and attached to a waist. As shown in FIG. 1, the belt device 10 of the present embodiment is a belt member which is horizontally long and elastically expands and contracts in the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the central side in the longitudinal direction is brought into contact with the back side. It is used by locking both ends on the ventral side.

As shown in FIG. 1, the belt device 10 includes a waist applying portion 12 which is applied to a portion from the waist P to the buttocks Q of the human body, and a belt applying portion 12 which is formed integrally with the waist applying portion 12. And a belt piece 13 extending to the left and right sides, turning to the abdominal side, wrapping around the body, and locking the leading end side to each other. The waist portion 12 is disposed at the center of the belt device 10, and the belt pieces 13 are provided to extend on both sides of the belt device 10.

The belt piece 13 is made of a material which can be stretched and contracted in the longitudinal direction so that it can be wound around the body with tension, and the ends can be locked at appropriate positions to adjust the tension. ing. As shown in FIG. 1, the belt piece 13 branches into a plurality of crotch shapes from the waist portion 12 to form split belt pieces 14 on the right and left sides. In the present embodiment, the belt piece 13 is bifurcated from the waist portion 12. And a total of four divided belt pieces 14a, 14b, 1
4c and 14d are formed.

The belt pieces 13 are divided belt pieces 14. . . To form independent winding portions 1 at a plurality of locations on the body.
6. . . And the belt device 10 can be mounted. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the divided belt pieces 14a and 14b are mutually locked in the vicinity of a so-called groove on the abdomen to form an upper winding portion 16a, and the divided belt pieces 14c and 14d are joined together. The belt device 10 can be mounted by locking the lower abdomen to each other to form a lower winding portion 16b.

Each of the divided belt pieces 14a, 14b,
14c and 14d are configured so that the waist portion 12 is connected as a common base, and the left and right split belt pieces 14. . . Is formed of a material that can expand and contract in the longitudinal direction, and the waist applying portion 12 is formed of a material that does not expand and contract in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the belt piece 13. That is, the split belt piece 14 of the present embodiment. . . Are formed by knitting respective fibers which are extensible and contractible in the longitudinal direction and which do not expand and contract in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the belt piece 13, and these belt-like members 18, 18 are formed. A portion where the respective intermediate portions are stitched and connected is defined as a waist applying portion 12.

The band-shaped member 18 is a soft band formed to have a required width and capable of rotating around the body, and has a surface which is in contact with each other when it is wound around the body and the ends are overlapped. Fastener 20 is sewn. Strip-shaped member 1
Numeral 8 shows knitting in which longitudinal fibers which are stretched while generating tension when stretched are arranged in the longitudinal direction, and longitudinal fibers which do not expand and contract are arranged in the band width direction, that is, in the vertical direction when wound around the body. It is.

In this embodiment, the split belt piece 14a
And 14b are continuously formed as one belt-shaped member 18,
The divided belt pieces 14c and 14d are connected to one other belt-like member 18.
And a central portion thereof is sewn to form a waist portion 12. Since the upper winding part 16a and the lower winding part 16b are each formed by one band-shaped member, even if the upper winding part 16a and the lower winding part 16b are wound around the body with considerable tension, they do not fray from the stitching part.

The waist applying portion 12 is formed as a portion in which two belt-like members 18, 18 which do not expand and contract in the vertical direction are vertically arranged and connected by sewing. The waist applying portion 12 is formed in a vertical direction width capable of continuously abutting the buttocks from the buttocks to the waist by adjusting the width of the two band-shaped members 18, 18, and is substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction, that is, the longitudinal direction of the belt piece 13. It is made of a material that does not expand or contract in the direction in which it moves.

In the present embodiment, the waist portion 12
As shown in FIG. 5, is formed of a wide band extending from the sacrum to the lumbar spine, for example, a sacral pressing portion 12a applied to the sacral portion when worn, and a lumbar pressing portion 12b applied to the lumbar portion It has. As shown in the figure, the inner skeleton of the buttocks to which the lower half of the waist portion 12 abuts is a pelvis. The pelvis has a funnel shape in which a plurality of bones are gathered and the lower part is narrowed, and contains a lower abdominal organ inside. The back wall of the funnel-shaped peripheral wall is formed higher than the ventral side. The center of the back of the pelvis is the sacrum, and both sides are the iliac. The lumbar vertebra is connected directly above the sacrum. That is, the lower half of the lumbar portion 12 is a sacral pressing portion 12b for pressing the sacrum, and the upper half is a lumbar pressing portion 12a for pressing the lumbar spine.

The lumbar spine pressing portion 12a is mainly composed of an upper winding portion 16a.
The lumbar spine is pressed by the tension of the sacrum, and the sacrum pressing portion 12b presses the sacrum mainly by the tension of the lower winding portion 16b. For example, in the case where so-called slippage occurs in which the connection between the lower end of the lumbar vertebra (the lower side of the fifth lumbar vertebra) and the sacrum and the connection between the fourth lumbar vertebra and the fifth lumbar vertebra are shifted or inclined to the right or left, The tension of the divided belt pieces 14a and 14b is set to be different according to the shift direction so that the upper winding portion 16a
By forming the lumbar spine, the displaced lumbar spine can be biased from the lateral direction and pressed to return to the correct position or angle. The vertical width of the lumbar portion 12 of the present embodiment is formed to be a width capable of abutting from the upper end of the fourth lumbar vertebra, which is the second from the bottom of the lumbar vertebra, to the lower end of the sacrum. The fifth lumbar vertebra, sacral pressing portion 12b presses the substantially entire length of the sacrum in the vertical direction.

The diseased part can be identified by palpation by forming the waist applying part 12 applied from the buttocks to the waist so as not to expand and contract in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the belt piece 13, that is, in the height direction of the wearing user. In this case, for example, when it is determined that the lumbar spine is slippery, the shifted lumbar spine can be selectively pushed to correct the lumbar spine. In addition, since the entire body is not restrained, there is no great hindrance to the daily life of the user, and the user is not abandoned in a short time.
Further, the pelvis can be selectively tightened to correct the opening deformation. In addition, since the waist portion 12 is formed by stitching two belt-shaped members 18 that do not expand and contract in the width direction, the number of parts of the belt device 10 can be reduced, and the number of stitched portions is small. Even if the structure is difficult to break.

In the present embodiment, two plate members 22, 22 are vertically fixed at an interval to the waist applying portion 12, and the waist applying portion 12 of the present embodiment is a plate member 2.
2,22. The plate member 22 is a plate made of a synthetic resin formed as a flexible rigid body with a required thickness and width, and has a length in the vertical direction of the waist portion 12, that is, a total width of the two band-shaped members 18. It is formed almost the same as.

As shown in FIG. 3, the plate member 22 has a flexibility to bend and bend to the extent that it is in close contact with the back along the back curve from the buttocks to the waist, and a resistance to the forward bending of the waist. In addition, it has a rigidity that hardly bends in the width direction of the plate, that is, in the left-right direction of the plate members 22 vertically arranged in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.
The plate member 22 is fixed to the waist portion 12 by sewing the peripheral edge of the cover cloth 24 to the belt-shaped members 18, 18.

By attaching the plate member 22 so as to extend over substantially the entire vertical width of the lumbar region 12 as described above, the stiffness between the lumbar pressing portion 12a and the sacral pressing portion 12b is reinforced, and the sacrum and the lumbar vertebrae are reinforced. Is changed more smoothly, and the sacrum and the lumbar vertebra can be simultaneously pressed and corrected without difficulty.

As shown in FIG. 1, the plate members 22, 22 are fixed vertically at a slight distance in the center of the belt device 10, and the belt device 10 is wound around the body as shown in FIG. Sometimes the plate members 22, 22 are arranged vertically on both sides of the lumbar vertebra. This can improve the effect of correcting the lumbar vertebra by pressing the lumbar vertebra in the left-right direction when slippage has occurred in the lumbar spine.

Although the plate member 20 of this embodiment is formed in a straight plate shape, it may be formed so as to be curved along a curve of a user's back in a normal state. Further, a narrow bar member may be used instead of the plate member.

Next, the operation of the waist-mounted belt device 10 of the present invention will be described. The user first arranges the belt device 10 horizontally with the side on which the plate members 22, 22 are mounted facing his or her back, and separates the upper belt portion 14a, 14b of the belt piece 13 that has been turned to the abdomen, that is, the upper winding. The portion 16a is loosely temporarily locked without being excessively extended. Next, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the upper and lower positions of the entire belt device 10 are adjusted so that the lower half of the waist portion 12, that is, the sacral pressing portion 12b abuts on the pelvis. 14
d, that is, the lower winding portion 16b is extended slightly downward while being appropriately extended, and locked at the lower abdomen. Next, the temporarily wound upper winding portion 16a is removed once, stretched appropriately, and locked at a position where there is no difficulty near the barb.

As described above, the waist portion 12 is formed by each of the divided belt pieces 14. . . Are connected to each other to form a common base, and the left and right split belt pieces 14. . . Is made of a material that is stretchable in the longitudinal direction, and at least the waist portion 12 is made of a material that does not stretch in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the belt piece 13, so that the back portion Even if the divided belt pieces 14a and 14b are tightened from the position where they are brought into close contact with each other, they do not shift in the left-right direction. That is, each divided belt piece 1
4. . . Place the base part in close contact with the set predetermined part,
While holding this, each divided belt piece 14a, 14b, 1
Only the winding state of 4c and 14d is individually changed to change the angle,
The tension can be set arbitrarily and winding can be performed.

The waist portion 12 is formed on the waist side by the tension of the upper winding portion 16a formed by the upper split belt pieces 14a and 14b and the tension of the lower winding portion 16b formed by the lower split belt pieces 14c and 14d. It is possible to press the buttock side with the optimum direction and strength, and while maintaining this state, for example, only tighten the pelvis more strongly by the lower winding part 16b or divide the lumbar spine to correct slippage Various pressing states can be realized, such as biasing the lumbar spine pressing portion 12a against the sacral pressing portion 12b by making a difference in the pulling force between the belt pieces 14a and 14b. In addition, the upper wrapping part 16 according to the body shape
a and the lower wrapping portion 16b can be adjusted, so that the pain of the user is small, and even if the user moves, the waist applying portion 12 does not slip up, so that the posture can be corrected by wearing the device for a long time while living daily life. Can be treated with correction.

FIG. 6 is a schematic sectional view of the upper part of the pelvis around which the lower winding part 16b is wound. It has been pointed out that one of the causes of low back pain is deformation of the pelvis, more specifically, deformation of the iliac bone moving outward while the sacrum moves to the back side while the iliac bone is opened outward. In the belt device 10 of the present invention, By tightly winding the lower winding portion 16b, it is possible to correct the iliac bone by pressing it to close it while pressing the sacrum back in the abdominal direction. Thus, even if the pelvis is tightened slightly, the tension of the upper winding portion 16a can be adjusted independently, so that the built-in portion is not compressed and the user is not excessively distressed.

Further, the plate member 22 of the waist portion applying portion 12,
22 is bent in accordance with the curve of the buttocks and the waist, and the plate member 2
Since the upper half of the lumbar vertebra 2,22, that is, the entire plate member of the lumbar vertebra pressing portion 12b is in contact with both sides of the lumbar vertebra, for example, if the lumbar vertebra is shifted to the right in FIG. Is stretched more strongly than the upper right split belt piece 14b to form the upper winding portion 16a, so that the shifted lumbar vertebra can be pressed by the right plate member 22 to return to the original position without difficulty.

The waist portion 12 is not limited to the configuration in which the waist portion 18 is formed as a stitch-connected portion of the belt-shaped member 18 as in the present embodiment. The strip-shaped members serving as pieces may be attached by sewing. In addition, the belt device 10 of the present embodiment has the upper end of the lumbar portion 12 extending to the fourth lumbar vertebra, but may be formed wider to be in contact with all five lumbar vertebrae, or further extended. May be brought into contact. In this case, the belt piece 13 is divided into three branches or more, and the winding portions 16. . . Is preferably formed. The forming method is such that three belt-shaped members 18, 4
Book. . . And the central side may be sewn or a completely different configuration.

The number of plate members 22 or rod members is two.
The present invention is not limited to the book.
A plate member or a rod member may be added to the outside of the plates 2 and 22. These plurality of plates or rod members may be combined with each other by changing the size and material and changing the degree of flexibility and rigidity. Further, the plate member 20 or the rod member is not limited to a rigid body having flexibility. For example, the plate member 20 or the rod member may be made of an aluminum light alloy or polycarbonate that hardly bends from a certain shape, or may be a hard body that cannot be said to be a rigid body. It may be appropriately selected according to the purpose such as rubber.

[0031]

As described above, according to the waist-belt device of the present invention, the waist-applying portion applied to the portion of the human body from the waist to the buttocks, and the waist-applying portion formed integrally with the waist-applying portion. A belt piece that extends to the left and right sides from the part and turns to the abdomen side, wraps around the body and locks the tip side mutually, and the belt piece diverges from the waist part into a plurality of branches and split belts for each of the left and right A piece is formed, and the waist portion is connected to each of the divided belt pieces to form a common base.The left and right divided belt pieces are formed of a material that can be stretched and contracted in the longitudinal direction. Since the part is formed of a material that does not expand and contract in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the belt piece, each of the divided belt pieces is suitable for around the buttocks and around the waist By wrapping with tension, it is possible to change the pressing state of the waist-applied part in various ways and make it abut from the buttocks to the waist, correct the user's posture, and in various directions to the specific affected part of the waist joint It can be treated and corrected by applying a pressing force with strength. In addition, since it is possible to realize the wearing state according to the user's body shape, there is little pain, and even if the user moves, the belt device does not shift from the correct position, so it does not significantly restrict the daily life of the user, The orthodontic state can be maintained for a long time when worn, and a high therapeutic effect can be exhibited.

Each of the divided belt pieces is formed by knitting a single fiber that is not stretchable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the belt piece, while being stretchable in the longitudinal direction. Since the sewn connection part is used as the waist part, the structure in which the split belt piece that expands and contracts in the waist direction extends from the waist part that does not expand and contract in the vertical direction can be realized with a small number of parts and sewing, and it is easy to manufacture. In addition, a highly durable waist-mounted belt device that does not break off from the sewn portion even when used under strong tension can be manufactured at low cost.

Further, since a plurality of plates or rod members are vertically fixed at intervals to the waist portion,
The lumbar spine and the sacrum are aligned with the plate or the rod member to improve the effect of correcting the posture, and the sacrum and the lumbar vertebra are biased toward either the sacrum or the lumbar vertebra by pressing with the plate or the rod member bridged over the lumbar vertebra. Pressure can be prevented from being applied, and the connection state can be corrected without difficulty. Also, by giving a difference in the tension of the left and right split belt pieces and selectively biasing the plate or rod member arranged along both sides of the lumbar spine to the right or left, the deviation direction for each user Pressing force can be applied and corrected corresponding to different lumbar vertebrae.

Further, since the plate or the rod member is a rigid body having flexibility, the plate or the rod member can be bent and deformed to some extent so as to conform to the curved surface of the back. The lumbar vertebra that has been displaced by biasing the member in the left-right direction can be pressed in a wide range and corrected without difficulty. Further, since the plate or the rod member is elastically deformed to some extent, the daily life of the user is not significantly restricted.
