[0017] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Furthermore, in order to clearly explain the present invention in the drawings, parts unrelated to the explanation have been omitted, and similar parts throughout the specification are denoted by similar reference numerals.

[0018] Throughout the specification, when a part is described as being "connected" to another part, this includes not only cases where they are "directly connected," but also cases where they are "electrically connected" with other components interposed between them. Furthermore, when a part is described as "including" a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components.

[0019] In the present disclosure, the term “chest” refers to the upper part of the abdomen, which is the part of the body below the neck.

[0020] In the present disclosure, the term “lower abdomen” refers to the lower part of the abdomen, with the part above the navel referred to as the “upper abdomen” and the part below the navel referred to as the “lower abdomen.” However, it is not necessarily limited thereto, and it is preferable to interpret it as broadly referring to the lower part of the abdomen.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing the overall shape of a chest support according to an example of the present invention.

[0023] As illustrated in FIG. 1, a chest support (100) according to one example of the present invention includes a chest support (10), a lower abdominal support (20), and a support (30).

[0024] According to one example of the present invention, the chest support member (10) performs the role of supporting the body together with the lower abdominal support member (20), and the support member (30) allows the chest support member (10) and the lower abdominal support member (20) to move on a seesaw principle.

[0025] FIG. 2 is a side view of a chest support (100) according to an example of the present invention for convenience of explanation. When the chest area is pressed with the body (force point), the lower abdominal support (20) moves closer to the body (point of application) with respect to the center point (34, fulcrum), causing the waist to straighten. Conversely, when the abdomen is pressed, the chest support (10) moves closer to the body, causing the chest to straighten.

[0026] That is, the force applied from the body creates a point of balance between the chest support (10) and the lower abdominal support (20), and is a structure that can stably support the body.

[0027] A support (30) according to one example of the present invention includes a hinge clamp (40) for fixing a chest support (100) to a desk, and the hinge clamp can be attached to various types of desks by adjusting the height.

[0028] Users can sit at desks of various heights and provide varying levels of support depending on the relative heights of the desk and chair.

[0029] Accordingly, various adjustment structures of a chest support (100) according to one example of the present invention will be disclosed below.

[0031] FIG. 3 is a drawing showing the adjustment of the area of ​​a chest support according to an example of the present invention.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 3, the chest support (10) according to one example of the present invention has a structure that can adjust the area to the left and right.

[0033] The left chest support (11) and the right chest support (12) can be extended individually or together, and area adjustment can be performed for stable support of the user.

[0034] Through this, it has the advantageous effect of allowing users with large physiques, users with small physiques, or users to extend the chest support (10) according to their preference.

[0036] FIGS. 4 and 5 are drawings showing the adjustment of the height of the chest support and lower abdominal support according to an example of the present invention.

[0037] A chest support according to one example of the present invention has a structure that allows users with various physical conditions to easily adjust and use it.

[0038] A chest support (100) according to one example of the present invention has a structure in which a support member (30) connects a chest support member (10) and a lower abdominal support member (20), and the connecting part connecting the support member (30) and the chest support member (10) and the connecting part connecting the support member (30) and the lower abdominal support member (20) have the characteristic of being angle-adjustable.

[0039] Therefore, the direction in which the chest support (10) and the surface that touches the chest area of ​​the body face, and the direction in which the lower abdominal support (20) and the surface that touches the lower abdominal area of ​​the body face, may differ from each other.

[0040] In addition, the support (30) according to one example of the present invention may have a curved shape.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 4, by bending the support (30) according to one example of the present invention into a bow shape, the space around the part of the chest support (100) that contacts the body is widened, thereby providing the advantageous effect of allowing the user's hand to move freely.

[0042] In addition, the support (30) according to one example of the present invention can be height-adjustable in lengths of 350 mm to 450 mm, and is not necessarily limited thereto, but is preferably interpreted as being large enough to support the body of users with a general body type.

[0043] A support member (30) according to one example of the present invention includes a height adjustment member capable of adjusting the height of the chest support member (10).

[0044] As illustrated in FIG. 4, the support member (30) is composed of a chest support member (31) that supports the chest support member (10), a lower abdominal support member (32) that supports the lower abdominal support member (20), and a support shaft (33) that is combined with these (31 and 32), and the chest support member (31), the lower abdominal support member (32), and the support shaft (33) each have a plurality of holes.

[0045] In addition, through a pin that can be inserted into multiple holes, the user can adjust to the desired height and insert the pin to fix the adjusted height.

[0046] Conventional chest supports required tools such as screwdrivers or wrenches to adjust the screws, but according to the present invention, they can be stably fixed simply by adjusting the pin inserted into the hole without the need for separate tools.

[0047] While conventional accordion-style sliding structures have the advantage of easy height adjustment, they may not remain stably fixed when subjected to significant weight, such as body weight, which poses a problem that could lead to safety accidents.

[0048] Therefore, through a pin that can be inserted into multiple holes and a pin fixing part that fixes the pin as in the present invention, it has the advantageous effect of fixing the size of the chest support and allowing it to be easily changed.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 4, the height of the chest support (10) can be adjusted by extending the length of the chest support (31) through adjustment between the holes (35), and independently of this, as shown in FIG. 5, the height of the lower abdominal support (20) can be adjusted by extending the length of the lower abdominal support (32) through adjustment between the holes (35).

[0050] A support member (30) according to one example of the present invention is provided with a plurality of holes between the chest support member (31), the lower abdominal support member (32), and the support shaft (33), thereby creating a structure in which the plurality of holes are aligned and positioned by a small physical force of the user.

[0051] In addition, the support member (30) according to one example of the present invention can be stably fixed by inserting a plurality of pins between a plurality of holes.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 5, the support (30) can be structurally configured to form a guideline so that the chest support (31) and the lower abdominal support (32) can be expanded and contracted, and can be configured in a U-shaped lane so that the chest support (31) and the lower abdominal support (32) do not easily deviate from this guideline.

[0053] In addition, by inserting multiple pins to stably support the body weight, the force received by the support can be distributed.

[0054] In addition, a pin according to one example of the present invention is manufactured to have the same diameter as the hole, and the material of the pin is configured to be elastic on the outside so that the height-adjustable support can be stably fixed.

[0056] FIG. 6 is a drawing showing the adjustment of the height of a clamp according to an example of the present invention.

[0057] As illustrated in FIG. 6, a support (30) according to one example of the present invention includes a hinge clamp (40) to be fixed to a desk, and the hinge clamp (40) according to one example of the present invention can be adjusted to various angles through a fastening part (34, center point) to be connected to the support (30).

[0058] In addition, the hinge clamp (40) according to one example of the present invention can be adjusted in height by sliding and can be fixed to a desk of various thicknesses.

[0060] The foregoing description of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and a person skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains will understand that the invention can be easily modified into other specific forms without altering the technical concept or essential features of the present invention.

[0061] Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as exemplary in all respects and not limiting.
