Abstract

The present invention relates to a lumbar lordosis maintenance device utilizing the forward movement force of the elbow to prevent the loss of lumbar lordosis that causes conditions such as lumbar disc herniation. The device forms a support rod with both ends mounted on the inside of the elbow and a middle portion that is in close contact with and supported by the lumbar spine. When the arm is pulled forward in a posture that causes the torso to naturally bend forward—that is, a posture that causes the loss of lumbar lordosis—during the process of bending the elbow for computer work or studying, the middle portion of the support rod bends and applies forward pressure to the lumbar spine. This prevents the loss of lumbar lordosis caused by the back bending forward, thereby maximally preventing non-structural scoliosis, herniated discs, etc., resulting from the loss of lumbar lordosis. The support rod is formed with a rod body that is streamlined and in close contact with the lumbar spine, and mounting rods formed on both ends of the rod body that are mounted on the inside of the elbow. The rod body and the mounting portion are joined using a hinge portion equipped with a free-deformable part made of an elastic material, and the mounting portion [is attached to] the free-deformable part constituting the hinge portion It allows for smooth movement to the left and right, thereby preventing the lumbar spine from bending regardless of body size by using a lumbar support device, and further comprises a massage means operated by charging in the middle of the support rod to prevent the lumbar spine from bending while simultaneously massaging the muscles in the lumbar region.

Claims (4)

  1. A support rod (10) made of an elastic material is formed, with the middle part being in close contact with and supported by the lumbar spine, and both ends being mounted on the inside of the elbow. A lumbar lordosis maintenance device utilizing the forward movement force of an elbow, characterized by being configured such that as the elbow moves forward, the middle part of the support rod (10) bends and presses against the lumbar spine to straighten the lumbar spine.
  2. In claim 1, the support rod (10) is, A rod body (20) formed in a streamlined shape and adhering to the lumbar spine; A lumbar lordosis maintaining device utilizing forward movement force of the elbow, characterized by being composed of a locking part (30) that is connected to both ends of a rod body (20) by a hinge part (40) and has a locking part (31) at the end.
  3. In claim 2, the hinge portion (40) is, A first connecting plate (50) connected to the end of the rod body (20); A second connecting plate (51) that is rotatably connected to the end of the catch portion (30) corresponding to the first connecting plate (50); A lumbar lordosis maintenance device utilizing forward movement force of the elbow, characterized by being composed of a free-deformable part (52) made of an elastic material connecting a first connecting plate (50) and a second connecting plate (51).
  4. In claim 1, A lumbar lordosis maintenance device utilizing the forward movement force of an elbow, characterized by further forming a massage means (60) capable of massaging the lumbar spine in the middle of a support rod (10).

Description

Lumbar lordosis maintenance device utilizing the forward motion of the elbow The present invention relates to a device for maintaining lumbar lordosis using the forward movement force of the elbow. More specifically, it is intended to prevent spinal disorders, such as herniated discs or scoliosis, that occur when the normal structure of the lumbar spine (lumbar lordosis) is lost due to abnormal standing or sitting postures, and also to correct existing loss of lumbar lordosis. The device is composed of a support rod with both ends mounted on the inside of the elbow and a middle section that adheres to the lumbar spine. In the process of bending the elbow to perform computer work or study—that is, in a posture where the torso bends forward and lumbar lordosis is lost—the force exerted by extending the arm forward for work or study causes the support rod in the middle section of the device to push the lumbar spine forward, thereby maintaining lumbar lordosis. This device serves as an auxiliary therapeutic tool for preventing diseases caused by the loss of lumbar lordosis and for maintaining a correct posture in cases where such conditions have already occurred. Generally, lumbar lordosis is a condition in which the lumbar spine is bent forward; it is a secondary curvature that develops as a result of walking upright, and in a normal state, lumbar lordosis should be maintained correctly. However, currently, students or office workers in the domestic market tend to lean forward toward the desk while sitting in a chair and using a desk to study or work using a computer placed on the desk, causing the lower part of the body, the lumbar spine, to bend backward. In other words, it is a condition in which normal lumbar lordosis is lost, and this is known to be a significant factor in causing spinal disorders such as herniated discs and scoliosis. In order to solve such problems, a lumbar support backrest device for chairing was invented as described in the previously registered patent No. 10-2668860. A conventional lumbar support backrest device comprises a pair of extension parts, an elastic belt part coupled between the extension parts, a first frame formed at the bottom of the extension part, and a second frame coupled to the top of the extension part corresponding to the first frame. Therefore, when the lumbar support backrest is combined with the first and second frames mounted on the front of the chair's backrest and the user sits on the chair with their back in close contact with the elastic belt section, the elastic belt section supports the middle part of the back, thereby preventing the lumbar spine from bending. However, the problem with conventional lumbar support devices is that, in order to keep the back in close contact with the elastic belt part constituting the lumbar support device, the person sitting in the chair must continuously maintain a correct posture, so people who study or work for a long time cannot prevent the lumbar spine from bending by using the lumbar support device. In addition, a problem arose in that it could not prevent the back from bending depending on the position of the elbows. In addition, when the lumbar support device is not in use, a problem arises in that it is not easy to store. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a lumbar lordosis maintenance device using the forward movement force of the elbow according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a plan view of a lumbar lordosis maintenance device using the forward movement force of the elbow according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a side view of a lumbar lordosis maintenance device using the forward movement force of the elbow according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is a drawing illustrating the usage state of a lumbar lordosis maintenance device using the forward movement force of the elbow according to the present invention. FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating a lumbar lordosis maintenance device using the forward movement force of the elbow according to the present invention, with a massage means installed therein. Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described using the attached FIGS. 1 to 5. According to the drawings above, the present invention is, A support rod (10) made of an elastic material is formed, with the middle part being in close contact with and supported by the lumbar spine, and both ends being mounted on the inside of the elbow. It is characterized by being configured such that as the elbow moves forward, the middle part of the support rod (10) bends and presses against the lumbar spine, thereby straightening the lumbar spine. The above support rod (10) is, A rod body (20) formed in a streamlined shape and adhering to the lumbar spine; It is characterized by being composed of a locking part (30) that is connected to both ends of the rod body (20) by a hinge part (40) and has a locking part (31) at the end. And the hinge part (40) is, A first connecting plate (50)
