Description

A posture correction band device that can be attached to a backpack

[0001] The present invention relates to a posture correction band, and more specifically, to a posture correction band device that can be attached to a backpack and can correct posture by being worn on the backpack during repetitive daily life.

[0002] Recently, the number of people suffering from turtle neck syndrome (Turtle Neck Syndrome) due to mobile phone use and other factors has been increasing. Therefore, proper posture is being taught and posture correction bands, also known as turtle neck correctors, are recommended. However, while conscious wearing is essential, many people fail to do so, making it difficult to expect effective results. Those who carry backpacks, such as students, office workers, and hikers, are relatively better off when it comes to posture correction. In other words, by wearing a backpack suitable for posture correction in daily life, correction can be expected even without conscious awareness.

[0003] In this regard, prior art documents that can be referenced include Korean Patent Registration No. 1607657 (prior art document 1) and Korean Patent Publication No. 2023-0122511 (prior art document 2).

[0004] Prior art document 1 includes a backpack body forming a storage space for storing items inside; a pair of shoulder straps that are fastened to the upper and lower parts of the backpack body through sewing, each further having a band fastening buckle; and a band support member that is fixed to surround the lower part of the backpack body and fastens to the buckles of the shoulder straps. Accordingly, a posture correction effect is expected due to stable wearing of the backpack.

[0005] Prior art document 2 includes a backpack-type corrective device that contacts the user's back, and a strap portion that is provided on the corrective device and that the user's shoulders are latched onto and can be pulled with both arms. When the user pulls the strap portion while wearing the corrective device on their back, the user's back is brought into contact with the corrective device, thereby straightening the back. Accordingly, the effect of improving the performance of correcting a user's hunched back is expected.

[0006] However, according to the above-mentioned prior literature, it is not structured to be attached to the user's general backpack, so it is difficult to wear while moving around in daily life.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention to improve the above-mentioned conventional problems is to provide a posture correction band that can be attached to a backpack, which can be worn and moved around by attaching it to a general backpack as needed in the user's repetitive daily life, and which can correct bad postures such as a hunched back.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized by comprising: a backpack having shoulder straps; a band member detachably formed on the shoulder straps of the backpack and having shoulder portions and tightening portions on both sides of the body portion; and an adjusting member mounted on the body portion of the band member and causing forward and backward displacement of the shoulder portion.

[0009] According to a detailed configuration of the present invention, the backpack is characterized in that it has at least one of a cut groove and a ring on a shoulder strap.

[0010] According to the detailed configuration of the present invention, the band member is characterized in that it supports a tightening part connected to one shoulder part through a mounting part of the other shoulder part.

[0011] According to the detailed configuration of the present invention, the adjusting member is characterized by having an adjusting plate accommodated in the body of the band member, an adjusting rod coupled to the rear of the adjusting plate, a wire extending from a corner of the adjusting plate through the adjusting rod to a point, and a rotating buckle for controlling tension on the wire.

[0012] According to a modified example according to the present invention, the band member is characterized by optionally having a fixing clip for fixing the position by interlocking with the shoulder strap, an auxiliary band connected to both shoulder portions to add tightening force, and an auxiliary pad accommodated in the body portion for cushioning and ventilation.

[0013] As described above, according to the present invention, the user can correct bad postures such as a hunched back by wearing and moving around in combination with a general backpack as needed in their repetitive daily lives, thereby having the effect of gradually leading to a correct posture without even being conscious of it.

[0017] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing a modified example of the device according to the present invention.

[0018] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the attached drawings.

[0019] The present invention proposes a posture correction band device that can be attached to a backpack. The band device, worn with a backpack, corrects hunched backs, turtle neck, and other conditions, but is not necessarily limited to this. Backpacks are used by anyone, regardless of age or gender, and are therefore not specifically limited.

[0020] The backpack (10) according to the present invention is structured with shoulder straps (11). The backpack (10) is differentiated into various shapes depending on its intended use, such as for school use, going out, or mountaineering. A pair of shoulder straps (11) are fixed facing each other toward the front of the backpack (10). The shoulder straps (11) may be provided with a function to increase or decrease their length according to the user's preference.

[0021] According to the detailed configuration of the present invention, the backpack (10) is characterized in that it has at least one of a cut groove (13) and a ring on a shoulder strap (11).

[0022] Referring to Fig. 1, a state in which a cut groove (13) is formed in a shoulder strap (11) of a backpack (10) is shown. The cut groove (13) has a slit structure that penetrates at a location where a band member (20) described later is coupled. Of course, the surrounding area is reinforced so that the strength of the shoulder strap (11) is not reduced due to the cut groove (13). This structure is for a backpack (10) exclusively for correction, but can also be applied to a general backpack (10) that does not have a cut groove (13) as described later. Depending on the use of the backpack (10), a loop for hanging an object on the shoulder strap (11) may be provided. This loop can also tightly fasten the band member (20) like the cut groove (13).

[0023] In addition, according to the present invention, a band member (20) having a shoulder portion (22) and a tightening portion (24) on both sides of the body portion (21) is formed in a structure that is detachably attached to the shoulder strap (11) of the backpack (10).

[0024] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a body portion (21), a shoulder portion (22), a tightening portion (24), etc., which constitute a band member (20) are shown. The body portion (21) is a portion that roughly comes into contact with the user's back, and the shoulder portion (22) is a portion that roughly comes into contact with the user's shoulder. The tightening portion (24) is an area provided with a Velcro tape, and in a narrow sense, it extends from the shoulder portion (22), but can be broadly included in the shoulder portion (22). When the band member (20) is combined with the backpack (10), the backpack (10) and the band member (20) are worn simultaneously, and an appropriate tension can be generated in the body portion (21) and the shoulder portion (22) by using the tightening portion (24).

[0025] At this time, when the tension of the band member (20) increases, the user's shoulders on both sides are pulled backward, causing a corrective posture of straightening the back.

[0026] According to the detailed configuration of the present invention, the band member (20) is characterized in that it supports a tightening part (24) connected to one shoulder part (22) through a mounting part (26) of the other shoulder part (22).

[0027] In Fig. 2, the band member (20) is shown as being connected to the backpack (10) via a fastening portion (24) and a mounting portion (26). In the example, the fastening portion (24) is extended from the upper shoulder portion (22) and a ring-shaped mounting portion (26) is connected to the lower shoulder portion (22). Of course, the opposite configuration is also possible. In either case, the fastening portion (24) is supported through a cut-out (13) on one side of the shoulder strap (11) of the backpack (10), and the mounting portion (26) is supported through a cut-out (13) on the other side of the shoulder strap (11) of the backpack (10). In this case, the fastening portion (24) is equipped with both male and female Velcro tapes, and the length can be adjusted by interposing the mounting portion (26).

[0028] By configuring it in this way, the upper and lower shoulder parts (22) of the band member (20) connected to the backpack (10) always maintain the correct position, thereby eliminating the inconvenience of the shoulder being completely wrapped and pressed during the process of increasing tension with the tightening part (24).

[0029] In addition, according to the present invention, the adjusting member (30) mounted on the body part (21) of the band member (20) has a structure that causes forward and backward displacement of the shoulder part (22).

[0030] In Fig. 1, the state in which the adjusting member (30) is accommodated in the body part (21) of the band member (20) is shown. Of course, as mentioned above, the tension of the body part (21) can be changed through the tightening member (24), but more fine adjustment is possible using the adjusting member (30) depending on the user's physical condition. For example, if the relative position of the shoulder part (22) with respect to the body part (21) is displaced rearward by the adjusting member (30), the local tension increases accordingly, allowing the user's shoulders and back to be slightly more straightened.

[0031] According to the detailed configuration of the present invention, the adjusting member (30) is characterized by having an adjusting plate (31) accommodated in the body part (21) of the band member (20), an adjusting member (32) coupled to the rear of the adjusting plate (31), a wire (34) extending from a corner of the adjusting plate (31) through the adjusting member (32) to a point, and a rotating buckle (36) for controlling tension on the wire (34).

[0032] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, a control plate (31), a control arm (32), a wire (34), and a rotary buckle (36) constituting a control member (30) are shown. A lightweight resin material is suitable for the control plate (31), but a thin metal material can be further attached. The control plate (31) is formed to slightly extend in four directions from the body (21) to approach the shoulder (22). The control arm (32) is fixed to the rear center of the control plate (31) and has a number of through holes on the sides and center. The wires (34) are connected to four corners of the control plate (31) on one side and are arranged through the side through holes of the control arm (32) to the central through hole. The wires (34) passing through the central through holes are gathered into one and connected to the rotary buckle (36). The rotary buckle (36) applies a structure for adjusting the shoe laces and is tightly fixed to one side of the adjustment plate (31) or adjustment stand (32).

[0033] Accordingly, when the user turns the rotary buckle (36) while wearing the backpack (10) and the band member (20) and moving, the wire (34) is wound and the four corners of the adjustment plate (31) are pulled rearward, thereby inducing the user's shoulders and back to be slightly more straightened.

[0034] According to a modified example of the present invention, the band member (20) is characterized by optionally having a fixing clip (40) for fixing the position by engaging with the shoulder strap (11), an auxiliary band (42) connected to both shoulder parts (22) to add tightening force, and an auxiliary pad (45) accommodated in the body part (21) for cushioning and ventilation.

[0035] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, a fixed clip (40), an auxiliary band (42), and an auxiliary pad (45) are shown as modified examples of the present invention. The fixed clip (40) is mounted on the shoulder portion (22) of the band member (20) and can be engaged with the shoulder strap (11) of the backpack (10). A clamping structure may be applied to the fixed clip (40) to increase the gripping force of the engagement. When the fixed clip (40) is applied, the cut groove (13) of the backpack (10) may be reduced or, in some cases, omitted. The auxiliary band (42) is connected to the lower shoulder portion (22) of the band member (20) and can be attached with a Velcro tape or the like to adhere to the user's abdomen. Increasing the tightening force of the auxiliary band (42) helps increase the tension of the band member (20). The auxiliary pad (45) is attached to the front of the adjustment plate (31) to provide a ventilation function in addition to a cushioning function. To replace or wash the auxiliary pad (45), the band member (20) is designed to be opened and closed with a zipper. The fixing clip (40), auxiliary band (42), and auxiliary pad (45) can be applied alone or in multiple forms.

[0036] The present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, such variations or modifications should be considered to fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0037] The present invention applies to a technique for correcting posture.
