Description

Oppfinnelsen angår et apparat for opptrening av de muskler som bestemmer kroppsholdningen. The invention relates to an apparatus for training the muscles that determine body posture.

Det finnes forskjellige grunner for en dårlig kropps-holdning. Den viktigste grunn er sittende arbeide som alle-rede begynner i skolen og i mange tilfeller også fortsetter i arbeidslivet. Også i hjemmet utføres mange hobbier som eksempelvis strikking, tegning, lesing osv. med fremover bøyde skul-dre. Herav følger dårlig holdning og helseskader som rygg- og skuldersmerter. Heller ikke sport hjelper da musklene som er ansvarlige for kroppsholdningen ikke opptrenes og således for-blir slappe. There are various reasons for poor posture. The most important reason is sedentary work, which already begins at school and in many cases also continues in working life. Many hobbies are also carried out at home, such as knitting, drawing, reading, etc., with shoulders bent forward. This results in poor posture and health damage such as back and shoulder pain. Sport does not help either, as the muscles responsible for posture are not trained and thus remain limp.

Det er oppfinnelsens mål å frembringe et apparat hvor-med især de muskler som bestemmer kroppsholdningen kan opptrenes og som ikke anstrenges ved normale øvelser. It is the aim of the invention to produce an apparatus with which, in particular, the muscles that determine body posture can be trained and which are not strained during normal exercises.

Dette mål oppnås ved apparatet ifølge oppfinnelsen som har de i kravenes karakteriserende del anførte trekk. This aim is achieved by the device according to the invention which has the features listed in the characterizing part of the claims.

En fordelaktig utførelse av oppfinnelsen er vist på tegningen hvor figur 1 viser apparatet i sideriss, figur 2 viser en del av apparatet, figur 3 viser apparatets feste- og føringsskinne i frontriss og figur 4 viser et enderiss av skinnen på figur 3, figur 5 viser apparatet i frontriss, figur 6 viser apparatets skyver med svingen og figur 7 viser en enkelt-het av apparatet. An advantageous embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing where figure 1 shows the device in side view, figure 2 shows part of the device, figure 3 shows the device's attachment and guide rail in front view and figure 4 shows an end view of the rail in figure 3, figure 5 shows the device in front view, figure 6 shows the device's pushers with the swing and figure 7 shows a simplicity of the device.

Apparatet har en vertikal skinne 1 som eksempelvis kan bestå av plast og en festeplate la samt en i tverrsnitt U-formet føring lb med flens lc. Det dannes en i tverrsnitt H-formet skinne slik det fremgår av figur 4. Festeplaten la har hull 22 for feste til veggen slik at feste med skruer kan foretas på egnet sted. The device has a vertical rail 1 which can for example consist of plastic and a fixing plate la as well as a cross-section U-shaped guide lb with flange lc. An H-shaped rail is formed in cross-section as shown in Figure 4. The fixing plate la has holes 22 for fixing to the wall so that fixing with screws can be done in a suitable place.

På skinnen 1 er en skyver 2 anordnet forskyvbar og fest-bar og har en utsparing 2a (figur 6) tilsvarende flensens lc og føringens lb tverrsnitt, idet skyveren 2 føres på skinnen 1 med utsparingen 2a. Langs skinnen 1 er det anordnet en fortanning 11 med hvilken et tverrsteg 12 samvirker som er anordnet ved underkanten av skyveren 2 og som har en tilsvarende fortanning. For løsing av forbindelsen vippes den ende av skyveren 2 som har tverrsteget oppad slik at tverrsteget 12 kommer ut av inngrepet med fortanningen 11, noe som muliggjøres av mellomrommet 13 (figur 1). I denne oppvippede stilling kan skyveren 2 stilles inn langs skinnen 1. Ved frigjøring av skyveren 2 vipper den automatisk ved sin tyngdekraft tilbake i den låste stilling. On the rail 1, a pusher 2 is arranged displaceable and fixable and has a recess 2a (figure 6) corresponding to the cross-section of the flange lc and the guide lb, the pusher 2 being guided on the rail 1 with the recess 2a. A toothing 11 is arranged along the rail 1 with which a transverse step 12 cooperates which is arranged at the lower edge of the pusher 2 and which has a corresponding toothing. To release the connection, the end of the pusher 2 which has the transverse step is tilted upwards so that the transverse step 12 comes out of the engagement with the toothing 11, which is made possible by the space 13 (figure 1). In this tilted position, the pusher 2 can be adjusted along the rail 1. When the pusher 2 is released, it automatically tilts back into the locked position by its own gravity.

På.den ende av skyveren 2 som vender bort fra skinnenOn the end of the pusher 2 that faces away from the rail

1 er en svingedel 3 opplagret svingbar med et rørhengsel 5 og står under påvirkning av en trykkfjær 6 som søker å bevege svingedelen fra den stiplet viste stilling til den fullt opp-trukne viste stilling. Trykkfjæren 6 er innsatt mellom skyve-delens 2 støtteflate 10 og en flate 7 som er anordnet på svingedelen 3. På støtteflaten 10 og svingedelen 2 er anordnet syl-indriske fremspring 9, hhv. 8 som sikrer trykkfjæren mot for-skyvning. På denne måte kan fjæren 6 installeres enkelt og om nødvendig utskiftes. Platen 7 tjener samtidig som hengslets 5 festedel. 1, a pivoting part 3 is supported and pivotable with a pipe hinge 5 and is under the influence of a pressure spring 6 which seeks to move the pivoting part from the position shown in dashed lines to the position shown fully extended. The compression spring 6 is inserted between the support surface 10 of the sliding part 2 and a surface 7 which is arranged on the pivoting part 3. Cylindrical projections 9 are arranged on the support surface 10 and the pivoting part 2, respectively. 8 which secures the pressure spring against forward displacement. In this way, the spring 6 can be installed easily and, if necessary, replaced. The plate 7 also serves as the fastening part of the hinge 5.

Svingedelen 3 er slik utformet at den kan forlenges og forkortes teleskopaktig. Med dette formål har den en indre armdel 17 som kan beveges i aksial retning i svingedelens 3 rørformede arm 18. Den indre armdel 17 har. en låseknapp 19 The swing part 3 is designed so that it can be extended and shortened like a telescope. For this purpose, it has an inner arm part 17 which can be moved in the axial direction in the tubular arm 18 of the swivel part 3. The inner arm part 17 has. a lock button 19

som er skrudd fast til gjengetappen 21. Gjengetappen 21 gri-per gjennom en langsgående sliss 20 i armen 18. Ved dreiing av knappen 19 i en retning løses fastlåsingen og den indre armdel 17 innstilles i forhold til armen 18.. Ved tiltrekning av knappen 19 låses den indre armdels stilling. Med forlengelse av svingedelen 3 blir den virksomme vektann lengre og den kraft som trenges for å svinge svingedelen mot fjærens 6 virkning blir mindre. which is screwed to the threaded pin 21. The threaded pin 21 engages through a longitudinal slot 20 in the arm 18. By turning the button 19 in one direction, the locking is released and the inner arm part 17 is adjusted in relation to the arm 18.. By tightening the button 19 the position of the inner arm part is locked. With extension of the swing part 3, the effective weight becomes longer and the force required to swing the swing part against the action of the spring 6 becomes smaller.

Ved den ytre ende av svingedelens 3 indre armdel 17 er en støtte festet om en dreieakse 15 og er begrenset svingbar slik at den maksimale svingning tilsvarer svingedelens 3 mak-, simale dreievinkel. Støtten 4 har en bæreplate 14 som ved hjelp av en konsoll 14a med hengselhull 15a er forbundet", svingbar med armdelens 17 avbøyde ende. På den annen side av bære-platen 14 er anordnet en polstring 16, bestående av cellegummi, skumstoff eller lignende og som tjener som nakke, eller hode-støtte. At the outer end of the inner arm part 17 of the pivoting part 3, a support is fixed about a pivot axis 15 and is limitedly pivotable so that the maximum oscillation corresponds to the maximum pivoting angle of the pivoting part 3. The support 4 has a support plate 14 which, by means of a console 14a with a hinge hole 15a, is connected, pivotable with the deflected end of the arm part 17. On the other side of the support plate 14 is arranged a padding 16, consisting of cell rubber, foam or the like and which serves as a neck or head support.

Apparatets funksjon og bruk beskrives i det etterføl-gende. Ved hjelp av knappen 19 innstilles lengden av svingedelen 3 tilsvarende den ønskede kraft. Deretter innstilles skyveren langs den på veggen festede skinne 1 i apparatet til den korrekte brukshøyde, idet støtten 4 befinner seg omtrent i brukerens øyehøyde. Deretter dreier brukeren seg med ryg-gen mot apparatet, med hælene omtrent 5 cm fra den vegg hvor apparatet er festet og med bakhodet mot støtten 4. Med rett kropp, hevet hake, hælene på gulvet og tærne spendt, trykkes støtten 4 med bakhodet slik at svingedelen 3 mot fjærens 6 kraft svinges til sin ytterste stilling hvor den holdes en bestemet tid, eksempelvis 8 sek. Bevegelsen gjentas flere ganger. Herved må især de muskler anspennes som bestemmer kroppsholdningen og som ellers slett ikke eller ikke i til-strekkelig grad belastes i sammenheng med vanlige sports- og gymnastikkøvelser. The device's function and use are described below. Using the button 19, the length of the swing part 3 is set corresponding to the desired force. The pusher is then adjusted along the rail 1 attached to the wall in the device to the correct height for use, the support 4 being approximately at the user's eye level. The user then turns with his back to the device, with his heels approximately 5 cm from the wall where the device is fixed and with the back of his head against the support 4. With a straight body, chin raised, heels on the floor and toes spread, press the support 4 with the back of his head as follows that the pivoting part 3 against the force of the spring 6 is pivoted to its extreme position where it is held for a predetermined time, for example 8 sec. The movement is repeated several times. In this way, the muscles that determine posture and which are otherwise not at all or not sufficiently stressed in connection with normal sports and gymnastics exercises must be tensed.
