A Height Adjusting Structure With Directly Communicating Airbags

Abstract

A height adjusting structure with directly communicating airbags includes at least two airbags, where the airbags each receive and retain therein an elastic body. One of the airbags includes an air control unit connected thereto for controlling air filling and discharge of the airbags. The airbags are provided, in surfaces thereof that opposes each other, with corresponding passage holes and joint sections formed around circumferences of the passage holes. The joint sections are jointed so that the airbags are directly connected with no additional medium between the airbags and allowing the airbags to share the same air control unit to achieve flowability of air between the airbags, whereby advantages of efficient air filling and discharge of the airbags, being easy to manufacture, and reducing manufacture costs can be achieved.

Description

(a) TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to an height adjusting structure, and more particularly to a height adjusting structure with directly communicating airbags that comprises airbags arranged to allow air contained therein to flow therebetween so as to achieve advantages of fast filling and discharge of air, easy manufacture, and reduction of manufacture costs.(b) DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]Modern people are generally physically inactive and do have take sufficient exercise in various situations, such as working in offices, using computers, playing video gams, watching television, and other occasions, when people often forget to stand up and take some exercise to stretch and move their bodies so that they have stayed in a constant posture, such as sitting, lying, or resting, for a long period of time. Although people realize they need to stand up and moves their bodies after having been sit, lain, or rested for a long period of ti...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a height adjusting structure with directly communicating airbags that can efficiently fill and discharge air. This improves the convenience and ease of conducting a height adjustment operation. The airbags are directly connected to each other, so no additional medium is required, and only one air control unit is needed. This reduces manufacturing costs.

Problems solved by technology

Although people realize they need to stand up and moves their bodies after having been sit, lain, or rested for a long period of time to prompt blood circulation and consume calorie, due to often being so devoted themselves to work and games or simply because of bad personal habits, most of the people do not stand up and move constantly.

As a consequence, an increase of body weight and relaxation and crash-down of hips may result.

Further, sitting, lying, and resting for a long period of time may often result in improper and incorrect posture, which cause modern diseases, such as backaches.

However, those products of pillows or mats or patented techniques are generally very complicated in structure and do not allow for simultaneous adjustment of height, softness, and shapability, making them imperfect in respect of human engineering.

(1) Airbags, which are used in multiplicity, are each controlled by an external air control unit for air filling and discharge, so that when the number of the airbags used is increased, the number of the air control units used is also increased. Since airtightness is a vital factor of the airbags, the manufacture will be difficult and the manufacture cost is high.

(2) The airbags are connected with hoses extending therebetween as a communication medium for air flowability therebetween. This makes the manufacture difficult and also increases the manufacture cost.

(3) Since the airbags require the additionally included hoses as a communication medium for connection and air flowabilith therebetween, the flow paths of air flows are extended and the efficiency of air filling and discharge of the airbags is lowered, leading to inconvenience of an operation for height adjustment.
