Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary medical devices, and in particular to a machine-washable lumbar support. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, there has been an increasing trend of patients seeking medical attention for lower back pain and discomfort. Various types of lower back pain and discomfort are receiving increasing attention. The main causes of lower back pain and discomfort include: 1. Prolonged sitting, standing, driving, or desk work; 2. Household chores, lifting heavy objects, and carrying children after childbirth; 3. Sudden sprains, strains, weak lumbar muscles, or long-term conditions such as lumbar disc herniation or sciatica; 4. Individuals with a weak constitution who require warmth and support for their lower back. When treating these conditions, patients usually need to wear assistive devices that provide lumbar support. A lumbar support belt, as a functional assistive device, is generally wrapped around the lower back to provide fixation and support.

[0003] Currently, many lumbar support products on the market are difficult to clean due to issues with materials and functional design. Consumers often have to wipe them with water or gently hand wash them after use, which is time-consuming and laborious. Furthermore, the support components of these lumbar supports are fixed, making it impossible to tailor them to specific areas of discomfort or pain, resulting in low wearing comfort. For example, patent application CN220423186U discloses a medical lumbar support belt, including an elastic body, a first and second fixing strap connected to both sides of the elastic body, and a ratchet adjustment knob. The back of the elastic body has multiple support frames, and the ratchet adjustment knob allows adjustment of the support angle of the support frames, making the lumbar support belt more suitable for the body of medical personnel. It also allows for real-time adjustment of the support angle of the support frames according to the individual needs of medical personnel, avoiding discomfort caused by a fixed angle. However, the support frame material of this medical lumbar support belt is a metal fishbone material, which, while ensuring support, is too rigid. It cannot be washed in a washing machine as it can easily damage the machine. If it is not dried properly after washing, it is prone to rusting. Moreover, the support frame and waist belt are not detachable, resulting in weak targeted support. Patent application CN205757352U discloses a waist support, including a base fabric, a buckle assembly, an elastic assembly, a support component, and a physiotherapy pad. Through the structural design of the support component, it can effectively improve the support effect and comfort of the human waist during use. However, the support component of this waist support is made of thin steel plate, which can easily damage the washing machine during washing. Furthermore, the support component is fixedly set on the middle rear end face of the base, resulting in a fixed support position and making it impossible to provide adaptive support. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a machine-washable lumbar support that does not deform when machine washed and features a detachable and adjustable massage pad that can be placed specifically according to the location of lumbar discomfort and pain.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A machine-washable lumbar support, comprising:

[0007] The lumbar support body is a long sheet-shaped structure, including a first support part and two second support parts. The two second support parts are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the first support part by a first rigid webbing. The two ends of the lumbar support body can be glued and fixed.

[0008] Two tension adjustment mechanisms are located on the outside of the lumbar support body to adjust the tightness of the lumbar support body;

[0009] The lumbar support body also includes a first textured surface, which is fixedly installed on the inner side of the first support part, and there is a placement space between the first textured surface and the first support part;

[0010] It also includes: a support plate, made of polymer material, installed within the placement space;

[0011] Two massage pads, each with a first hook face on the back, which is attached to the first hair face inside the lumbar support body.

[0012] In this way, by selecting a support plate made of polymer material, preferably PP material, the support plate has a certain toughness and good peel strength, does not deform after machine washing, and can be fully dried without mold. By setting two removable and adjustable massage pads, it can specifically relieve the user's discomfort, better fit the human body curve, and avoid wearing discomfort caused by individual differences.

[0013] Preferably, the left and right sides of the first textured surface are fixedly connected to the first support portion by second rigid webbing. In this way, the seam between the first textured surface and the first support portion is covered by the second rigid webbing.

[0014] Preferably, the width of the second rigid webbing is greater than the width of the first rigid webbing. This wider second rigid webbing prevents the support plate from detaching from the placement space during machine washing.

[0015] Preferably, the two second rigid webbing straps are located on the left and right sides of the lower back, and the two first rigid webbing straps are located on the left and right sides of the front waist. In this way, the first rigid webbing straps can provide some support to the user's front waist, so as not to affect the user's bending forward, and the second rigid webbing straps can provide some support to the user's lower back, so as to reduce the burden on the user's lower back.

[0016] Preferably, the size of the first textured surface is similar to that of the support plate; the support plate is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, and has multiple ventilation holes. In this way, the support plate has an overall shell shape, which better conforms to ergonomics, can better support the waist when bending excessively during use, reduce the force on the muscles, provide greater support, and increase the breathability of the support plate by setting ventilation holes.

[0017] Preferably, the outer side of the second support portion is provided with a second textured surface, and the inner side of one of the second support portions is fixed with a second hook surface for attaching to the second textured surface.

[0018] Preferably, the tension adjustment structure is made of elastic webbing. One end of each of the two elastic webbing strips is fixedly connected to the outside of the first support part via a third rigid webbing strip. The other ends of the two elastic webbing strips extend towards both ends of the lumbar support body. The ends of the two elastic webbing strips away from the third rigid webbing strip are provided with third hook-shaped attachment points for bonding with the second textured surface. By incorporating elastic webbing, the lumbar support body achieves a bidirectional force-adding shape, providing better coverage and allowing the user to adjust the tightness of the lumbar support to provide appropriate pressure to the waist.

[0019] Preferably, the third rigid webbing is fixedly disposed on the outside of the first support and located in the middle of the first support, and the elastic webbing is Y-shaped, with the end of the elastic webbing away from the third rigid webbing overlapping.

[0020] Preferably, the first support section is made of sandwich mesh fabric. Sandwich mesh fabric is a double-needle bed warp-knitted mesh fabric, which consists of a mesh surface, connecting monofilaments, and a flat fabric bottom surface. The overall structure presents a three-dimensional mesh fabric structure. It is soft and comfortable while also being breathable and heat-insulating, and has a certain degree of elasticity, making it less prone to deformation during washing.

[0021] Preferably, the massage pad features multiple support balls. These support balls apply pressure to the lower back muscles, regulate muscle balance, strengthen muscles to some extent, reduce swelling, and help relieve lower back pain. Furthermore, they can be positioned specifically to address discomfort or pain in the lower back, better conforming to the user's body curves.

[0022] The present invention, by adopting the above technical solutions, has the following beneficial effects: 1. In the present invention, the support plate is made of high polymer materials such as PP, which gives the support plate a certain toughness and good peel strength. Under multiple machine washes, the support plate and the waist support as a whole will not deform, and can be fully dried without mold, which will not affect the subsequent use effect and extend the service life of the waist support; 2. Two removable and adjustable massage pads are set on the inner side of the first support part of the waist support, which can specifically relieve the user's discomfort, fit the human body curve better, avoid wearing discomfort caused by individual differences, and the massage pads can be removed during machine washing, which is convenient for washing and maintenance of the waist support.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0033] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise expressly defined.

[0034] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0036] For ease of description, in this utility model, the side closer to the human body when using the lumbar support is the inner side, and the opposite side is the outer side; the side closer to the buttocks is the lower side, and the opposite side is the upper side.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The machine-washable lumbar support shown includes:

[0038] The lumbar support body 1 is a long, flat piece with curved edges. Each edge of the lumbar support body 1 is secured with a binding, giving the lumbar support a smooth, rounded appearance. When in use, the binding protects the user's lower back and prevents abrasions. The lumbar support body 1 includes a first support portion 11 and two second support portions 12. The two second support portions 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the first support portion 11 via a first rigid webbing 13. The two ends of the lumbar support body 1 can be adhesively fastened.

[0039] Two tension adjustment mechanisms are located on the outside of the lumbar support body 1 to adjust the tightness of the lumbar support body 1.

[0040] The lumbar support body 1 also includes a first textured surface 14, which is fixedly disposed on the inner side of the first support part 11, and there is a placement space between the first textured surface 14 and the first support part 11; it also includes a support plate 3, which is made of polymer material and is installed in the placement space; and two massage pads 4, the back of which is provided with a first hook surface, and the massage pads 4 are attached to the first textured surface 14 on the inner side of the lumbar support body 1 through the first hook surface.

[0041] In this invention, the support plate 3 is made of a polymer material, preferably PP material. This gives the support plate 3 good peel strength while maintaining a certain degree of toughness. Under multiple machine washes, neither the support plate 3 nor the lumbar support body 1 will deform, and they can be fully dried without getting moldy. By setting two removable and adjustable massage pads 4, the user's discomfort can be specifically relieved, and the body curves can be better fitted. This avoids discomfort caused by individual differences. The massage pads can also be removed during machine washing, making it convenient for washing and maintaining the lumbar support.

[0042] In this invention, the left and right sides of the first textured surface 14 are respectively fixedly connected to the first support portion 11 by second rigid webbing 15. The second rigid webbing 15 can cover the seam between the first textured surface 14 and the first support portion 11.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the width of the second rigid webbing 15 is greater than the width of the first rigid webbing 13. The wider second rigid webbing can further limit the support plate 3, preventing it from coming off its placement position during machine washing and spin drying. Since the two second rigid webbing 15 are located on the left and right sides of the lower back, and the two first rigid webbing 13 are located on the left and right sides of the front waist, the thinner first rigid webbing 13 provides some support to the user's front waist without hindering the user from bending forward; the wider second rigid webbing 15 provides some support to the user's lower back, thereby reducing the burden on the user's lower back.

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, the size of the first textured surface 14 is roughly the same as the size of the support plate 3, allowing the support plate 3 to fit snugly around the entire waist and preventing displacement within the placement space. The support plate 3 is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, with multiple ventilation holes 31. Thus, the support plate 3 has an overall shell shape. More preferably, the lower part of the support plate has a downward-convex arc shape, better conforming to ergonomics and fitting the waist curve. This allows for better support of the waist during excessive bending, reducing muscle stress and providing greater support. The ventilation holes on the support plate 3 also increase its breathability.

[0045] The two ends of the waist support body 1 are attached by the following structure: a second textured surface 121 is provided on the outer side of the second support part 12, and a second hook surface 122 for attaching to the second textured surface 121 is fixed on the inner side of one of the second support parts 12.

[0046] In this invention, the tension adjustment structure is an elastic webbing 2. One end of the two elastic webbing 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first support part 11 through a third rigid webbing 16. The third rigid webbing 16 is fixedly disposed on the outside of the first support part 11 and located in the middle of the first support part 11. The width of the third rigid webbing 16 is equivalent to the width of the second rigid webbing 15. This can prevent the third rigid webbing 16 from deforming when the elastic webbing 2 is pulled. Moreover, since the two elastic webbing 2 are fixed on the same third rigid webbing 16, the force applied to both sides of the waist support is more even when the user pulls the two elastic webbing 2, and the waist support provides more accurate support for the user's waist.

[0047] The other ends of the two elastic webbing strips 2 extend towards both ends of the lumbar support body 1, and the ends of the two elastic webbing strips 2 away from the third rigid webbing strip 16 are provided with third hook-shaped surfaces for attaching to the second textured surface 121. This allows the user to freely adjust the tightness of the adjustment structure according to their needs, applying appropriate pressure to the waist, fixing the waist, and relieving lumbar muscle fatigue. In this embodiment, the elastic webbing strips 2 are arranged in a Y-shape, with the ends of the elastic webbing strips 2 away from the third rigid webbing strip 16 overlapping. This avoids only applying pressure and fixing the waist support in the middle, resulting in better coverage and a more comfortable user experience.

[0048] In this invention, the first support part 11 is made of sandwich mesh fabric, which is a double-needle bed warp-knitted mesh fabric composed of a mesh surface, connecting monofilaments, and a flat bottom surface, presenting a three-dimensional mesh structure. It is soft and comfortable while also being breathable and heat-insulating, and has a certain degree of elasticity, making it less prone to deformation during washing. The inner side of the second support part 12 is made of skin-friendly material to enhance the user experience.

[0049] The massage pad 4 has multiple protruding support balls 41. These support balls 41 apply pressure to the lower back muscles, regulating muscle balance and strengthening them to some extent, reducing swelling, and helping to relieve lower back pain. Furthermore, they can be positioned specifically to address discomfort or pain in the lower back, better conforming to the user's body curves. Generally, the massage pad 4 is positioned on either side of the lumbar spine when worn, providing pressure and support to the muscles. In this embodiment, the massage pad 4 is butterfly-shaped.

[0050] All features described in the specification, appended claims and drawings, whether individually or in any combination thereof, are essential features of this utility model.

[0051] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, alterations, deletions of some features, additions of features, or recombinations of features to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the innovative principles of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
