Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elastic band technology, specifically an adjustable elastic band. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, plastic surgery is a branch of surgery, also known as cosmetic surgery. It mainly treats traumas and diseases of the skin, muscles and bones, as well as congenital or acquired defects and deformities of tissues or organs. After surgery, patients need to wear adjustable elastic bands for recovery.

[0003] In real life, common adjustable elastic bands are generally used to fix the waist and chest, keeping the upper body and neck in an upright position for a long time to prevent hunchback and bone deformation. However, when users wear this device for a long time, the neck is always in an upright position supporting the head, which increases fatigue. Adjustable elastic bands do not have a neck support device, so their practicality is not very good and there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-8 This utility model discloses an adjustable elastic band, comprising an elastic band 1. The user wears the elastic band 1 to shape the garment. A first connecting band 2 is provided on one side of the elastic band 1, forming a slot with the elastic band 1. A support plate 3 is inserted into the slot. Several connecting devices 4 are provided on the side wall of the support plate 3. Several second connecting bands 5 are provided on the side wall of the elastic band 1, passing through the connecting devices 4 and surrounding the side wall of the support plate 3, thus clamping the support plate 3 in conjunction with the elastic band 1. An expansion support device is provided on the upper side wall of the support plate 3, allowing the lower part of the support plate 3 to be inserted into the first connecting band 2 and the elastic band 3. The expansion support device can be installed in the slot between the elastic bands 1 to support the user's neck. The expansion support device expands to support the user's neck and provides a certain degree of support. The user can lean their neck against the expansion support device, which improves the comfort. The expansion support device has a connecting tube 6 in the middle and passes through the support plate 3. An inflation device 7 is provided on one side of the connecting tube 6 and is fixedly connected to the support plate 3. Pressing the inflation device 7 fills the expansion support device with gas through the connecting tube 6, causing the expansion support device to expand. After expansion, the side wall of the expansion support device fits against the user's neck and provides support.

[0028] The expansion support device is a common rubber airbag 8. The rubber airbag 8 is inexpensive to use and readily available. A protective pad 9 is attached to the side wall of the rubber airbag 8. The protective pad 9 is in direct contact with the user's neck, which can improve neck safety.

[0029] An air inlet pipe 10 is provided at the front of the inflation device 7, so that when the inflation device 7 is pressed, external air enters the inflation device 7 through the air inlet pipe 10 and is delivered to the connecting pipe 6 and the rubber air bag 8.

[0030] The connecting device 4 is made of fabric and has a through groove between it and the support plate 3 to facilitate the passage of the second connecting strap 5. After the second connecting strap 5 passes through the through groove between the connecting device 4 and the support plate 3, it fixes the support plate 3 to the elastic band 1. A male Velcro 11 is provided on one side of the second connecting strap 5, and a female Velcro 12 is provided on the side wall of the elastic band 1 and is attached to the male Velcro 11.
