Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of maternal and infant products technology, and in particular to a maternity support belt and a back support. Background Technology

[0002] As an assistive device widely used by pregnant women and people who need lumbar support, the core function of a maternity support belt is to relieve pressure on the lower back caused by changes in the body's center of gravity or muscle fatigue by wrapping and supporting the waist and abdomen area, thereby improving postural stability and enhancing wearing comfort. Traditional maternity support belt designs often focus on a combination structure of lumbar and abdominal support sections, using elastic materials or adjustable straps to achieve physical fixation and localized support for the waist and abdomen. For example, high-elastic fabrics are used to form a loop, or adjustment devices such as Velcro and hooks are used to adapt to different body types.

[0003] While such designs can provide basic support in static scenarios, they still face significant challenges in practical use. Traditional maternity support belts primarily feature planar back supports, making it difficult to cover the deep muscle groups on both sides of the spine, resulting in a "strong local, weak overall" support effect. Traditional back supports often rely on the elastic deformation of materials to provide passive pressure, lacking adaptability to the natural curvature and dynamic activities of the human spine. Especially when users bend over, turn around, or stand for long periods, the transmission path of support force is prone to shift, causing pressure to concentrate in a local area of ​​the lumbar spine, which not only reduces support efficiency but may also exacerbate muscle fatigue. Traditional back support methods are mostly indirect reinforcements (such as thickening the lumbar pad or adding horizontal straps). Although such solutions can temporarily relieve back pressure, the lack of a design that conforms to the physiological curve of the spine can easily lead to misalignment between the support and the body, or even discomfort due to excessive compression of rigid materials. In addition, the breathability and lightweight design of existing maternity support belts are also limited. The introduction of multi-layered materials or rigid support components may aggravate the stuffiness and further affect the feasibility of wearing them for a long time. Utility Model Content

[0082] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a first-view structural diagram of the maternity support belt in the wearing state according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a first-view structural schematic diagram of the back support member according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the back support member from a second perspective according to an embodiment of this application.

[0083] like Figure 1 As shown, the maternity support belt of this application embodiment includes: a waist support part 10, an abdominal support part 20, and a back support part 60.

[0084] The lumbar support 10 is configured to pass through the user's waist area and extend to both sides of the user when worn.

[0085] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a back support 60 is disposed on the lumbar support 10. The back support 60 may be embedded within the lumbar support 10 or disposed on the outer surface of the lumbar support 10; this embodiment does not limit the specific type of back support. The back support 60 has a higher rigidity than the lumbar support 10 and the abdominal support 20. The back support 60 is made of a rigid material and is elastic. Optionally, the back support 60 may be made of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), rigid silicone, or carbon fiber composite material.

[0086] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the back support 60 includes at least one support strip 111a, 111b, and 111c. When the maternity support belt is worn, the support strips 111a, 111b, and 111c extend along the height of the user. The support strips 111a, 111b, and 111c gradually bend and extend from both ends towards the middle, conforming to the user's back. This gradual bending and extension of the support strips 111a, 111b, and 111c allows them to closely conform to the natural curve of the user's spine, especially the muscle groups on both sides of the spine. This design avoids the uneven distribution of support force caused by traditional flat back supports, ensuring that the support force is precisely applied to key areas of the back, effectively relieving spinal pressure. While the figure shows multiple support strips, it should be understood that the number of support strips can be one or two; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0087] The abdominal support 20 is connected to the waist support 10, and the abdominal support 20 is configured to be located in the abdominal area of ​​the user when worn.

[0088] like Figures 1-3As shown, in one embodiment, the back support 60 includes at least a first support strip 111a and a second support strip 111b. When the maternity support belt is worn, the first support strip 111a and the second support strip 111b are located on either side of the user's spine. The first support strip 111a gradually curves towards the spine from both ends to the middle, and the second support strip 111b also gradually curves towards the spine from both ends to the middle. The support strip 111c extends substantially along the direction of the user's spine when the maternity support belt is worn. The first support strip 111a and the second support strip 111b, located on either side of the spine, precisely conform to the natural curve of the spine, providing symmetrical and uniform support. This design effectively distributes the pressure on the spine, reducing the burden on the spine and surrounding muscle groups, making it particularly suitable for people who need to stand or move for extended periods.

[0089] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, the support strips 111a, 111b, and 111c gradually thin from the middle to both ends. The thicker middle portion of the support strip provides the main support force, ensuring effective support for the spine and surrounding muscle groups, while the gradually thinning design at both ends achieves a smooth transition of support force. This design avoids the problem of local pressure concentration caused by abrupt changes in thickness, evenly distributing the support force, reducing pressure on the skin, and significantly improving wearing comfort. The thinning design at both ends of the support strip makes the edges of the maternity support belt softer and lighter, reducing the feeling of pressure and friction when in contact with the skin. This design is particularly suitable for scenarios involving prolonged wear, effectively avoiding the irritation of the skin by the edges of traditional support components, and significantly improving skin-friendly comfort. The thinning design at both ends of the support strip reduces the overall weight of the maternity support belt, making it lighter and suitable for prolonged wear. This design is particularly suitable for pregnant women, postpartum women, and people who need lumbar and back support, significantly improving the wearing experience.

[0090] In one embodiment, the back support 60 further includes connecting strips 61a and 61b, which connect adjacent support strips 111a and 111b. In one embodiment, a connecting strip is provided between every two adjacent support strips to connect the entire back support 60 into a whole. The connecting strips serve two purposes: firstly, to improve the overall support strength and stability, and secondly, to facilitate the one-piece injection molding of the back support 60.

[0091] In one embodiment, the connecting strips 61a and 61b include at least a first connecting strip 61a and a second connecting strip 61b, wherein the first connecting strip 61a and the second connecting strip 61b are respectively disposed at different positions along the height direction when the maternity support belt is worn.

[0092] In one embodiment, the back support 60 is embedded in the lumbar support 10. By embedding the back support 60 in the lumbar support 10, discomfort caused by the back support 60 directly contacting the human body can be avoided, and the lumbar support 10 provides a certain cushioning effect.

[0093] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the waist support portion 10 is at least partially made of sheet 30, which includes an outer layer 31, an inner layer 32, and an adhesive layer 33 disposed between the outer layer 31 and the inner layer 32.

[0094] like Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the adhesive layer 33 includes a first adhesive layer 331, a buffer layer 332, and a second adhesive layer 333 stacked sequentially from the inside out.

[0095] In one embodiment, the back support (not shown) is embedded in the buffer layer 333. By embedding the back support in the buffer layer, the cushioning effect of the lumbar support portion 10 on the back support is enhanced.

[0096] In one embodiment, the cushioning layer 333 is a sponge layer. The sponge layer has good elasticity and softness, providing a comfortable cushioning effect when worn by the user, reducing pressure on the lower back. At the same time, the lightweight nature of the sponge layer does not increase the overall weight of the maternity support belt, making it suitable for prolonged wear. Furthermore, the sponge layer has excellent breathability, effectively wicking away sweat and keeping the skin dry, further enhancing wearing comfort.

[0097] In one embodiment, the inner layer 32 is provided with ventilation holes. The design of these ventilation holes significantly improves the breathability of the maternity support belt, promotes air circulation, and avoids stuffiness and discomfort caused by prolonged wear. The distribution of the ventilation holes can be optimized according to the user's needs, ensuring optimal ventilation in key areas such as the waist and back. This design is particularly suitable for use in hot environments or during high-intensity activities, significantly enhancing the user experience.

[0098] In one embodiment, the abdominal support 20 is positioned in the lower abdominal region of the user when worn. This design provides precise support for the user's lower abdomen, making it particularly suitable for pregnant women or those requiring additional abdominal support. By concentrating support in the lower abdominal region, it effectively alleviates pressure on the lower back caused by increased abdominal weight, improving postural stability. Simultaneously, this design also provides additional abdominal support for postpartum women, helping them recover abdominal muscle strength.

[0099] In one embodiment, the upper edges of the support strips 111a, 111b, and 111c are curved. This curved design reduces the contact pressure between the support strips and the user's back, preventing friction or pressure on the skin. This design is particularly suitable for prolonged wear, significantly improving comfort against the skin. Furthermore, the curved edges enhance the aesthetics of the support strips, making the overall appearance of the maternity support belt more streamlined and natural.

[0100] In one embodiment, the lower edges of the support strips 111a, 111b, and 111c are curved. The curved design of the lower edges echoes the upper edges, further optimizing the fit between the support strips and the user's body. This design avoids pressure on the waist from the lower ends of the support strips, reducing the feeling of foreign objects when wearing them. Simultaneously, the curved edges enhance the dynamic adaptability of the support strips, making them more flexible when the user bends over or turns, thus improving the overall wearing experience.

[0101] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a maternity support belt in its unfolded state according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 5 This is a structural schematic diagram of a maternity support belt according to an embodiment of this application in the wearing state from a second perspective.

[0102] The maternity support belt of this application embodiment includes: a waist support part 10 and an abdominal support part (not shown).

[0103] The lumbar support 10 is configured to pass through the user's waist area and extend to both sides of the user when worn.

[0104] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the abdominal support is connected to the waist support 10. The abdominal support is configured to be located in the abdominal area of ​​the user when worn. The abdominal support includes a first strap 21 and a second strap 22 extending along both sides of the waist support 10. The first strap 21 and the second strap 22 are detachably connected, and the lengths of the first strap 21 and the second strap 22 are not equal.

[0105] like Figure 5 As shown, the abdominal support and the waist support 10 can be integrated as a single piece, cut from the same sheet, spliced ​​together, or detached. The dotted lines 40 and 50 roughly correspond to the two side seams of the human body when worn. For example, dotted line 40 corresponds to the left side seam, and dotted line 50 corresponds to the right side seam. The area to the left of dotted line 40 is the second belt 22, the area between dotted lines 40 and 50 is the waist support 10, and the area to the right of dotted line 50 is the first belt 21.

[0106] In this embodiment of the application, by setting the first strap 21 and the second strap 22 of the abdominal support to have unequal lengths, it is easier for the user to open and close the strap from the side of the body or the side of the abdomen, making the operation more convenient. This is especially true for pregnant women with larger bellies, where side opening and closing is more convenient. In addition, with the first strap being longer, a larger overall wrapping effect can be achieved for the abdominal area. Also, removing the strap from the side reduces pressure on the abdomen compared to removing it from the front, thereby improving comfort.

[0107] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the length of the first strap 21 is greater than the length of the second strap 22. When worn, the first strap 21 extends along the right side of the user to the abdominal region, and the second strap 22 extends along the left side of the user to the abdominal region. In other embodiments, the length of the first strap may be less than the length of the second strap; this application does not limit this aspect.

[0108] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the first band 21 includes side panels 211 and a belly panel 212. The side panels 211 extend along the side of the user's abdomen when worn, and the belly panel 212 extends along the user's abdomen when worn. The thickness of the belly panel 212 is greater than the thickness of the side panels 211. This design ensures sufficient cushioning for the belly panel 212 while maintaining sufficient breathability for the side panels 211. Furthermore, by making the belly panel 212 thicker, stronger support can be provided in the central abdominal area to distribute weight, while the side panels 211 are made thinner to maintain flexibility for lateral movement and avoid a feeling of restriction.

[0109] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the side panel 211 and the abdominal panel 212 are stitched together. The seam 213 between the side panel and the abdominal panel is inclined, which facilitates the abdominal panel 212 to gradually bend and extend downwards relative to the side panel 211, thereby increasing the upward lifting force of the abdominal panel 212. By setting the abdominal panel 212 and the side panel 211 as a stitched joint, rather than a one-piece cut, the abdominal support belt can be made wrinkle-free when worn, ensuring that the abdominal panel 212 bends and extends downwards in a different direction, thus improving the fit and wrapping effect of the abdominal support belt. The seam can be treated with double-stitched overlock or binding techniques, which ensures the splicing strength and makes the seam smooth and flat, reducing friction and irritation to the skin.

[0110] In one embodiment, a back support member is embedded within the lumbar support portion 10. The back support member has a higher rigidity than other parts of the lumbar support portion 10. The back support member is made of TPU, rigid silicone, or carbon fiber composite material and is embedded in the interlayer of the lumbar support portion 10, distributed along the lumbar spine region to enhance rigid support for the lumbar region, while the surrounding area remains flexible to accommodate body movements.

[0111] In one embodiment, the back support includes a plurality of spaced-apart support bars 111. The spaced design provides directional support while retaining lateral flexibility, ensuring that the waist remains in a close fit when bent.

[0112] In one embodiment, the support strip 111 extends along the user's height when the maternity support belt is worn, and the thickness of the support strip 111 gradually decreases from the middle to both ends. Specifically, the middle section of the support strip 111 is thicker, providing concentrated rigid support to the lumbar region and maintaining the physiological curvature of the lumbar region; while the design of gradually thinning towards the upper and lower ends enhances the flexibility of the support strip's edges, avoiding the pressure of hard materials on the iliac crest, ribs, or soft tissues when worn. At the same time, the gradually thinning structure reduces the thickness of the sheet material at the upper and lower edges of the maternity support belt, reducing the contact area and frictional resistance between the edges and the skin. Combined with the smooth transition of the curved upper edge, this further eliminates potential skin marks or pressure discomfort. In addition, the change in stiffness created by the gradual change in thickness guides the support force to naturally decrease from the middle of the waist to both ends, ensuring the support strength of the core area while achieving dynamic adaptation of the support force to the body curve, avoiding displacement or failure of fit due to excessive local rigidity, making the maternity support belt fit the skin more closely at the edges.

[0113] In one embodiment, the upper edge of the support strip 111 is arc-shaped. The radius of curvature of the arc-shaped edge matches the natural curve of the human waist, allowing the upper edge of the support strip to smoothly transition to the soft tissue of the waist, preventing straight edges from cutting the skin or causing discomfort.

[0114] In one embodiment, the lower edge of the lumbar support 10 is straight, at least at the position corresponding to the user's back. The straight lower edge extends horizontally along the back and conforms to the straight area of ​​the human back, avoiding the edge lifting or curling caused by the curved design, and enhancing the stability of the lumbar support 10.

[0115] In one embodiment, the first strap 21 passes through the user's abdominal area when worn and is detachably connected to the second strap 22 at the user's side. This method ensures that the connection and disconnection are performed away from the highest point of the abdominal bulge, facilitating user operation and reducing direct pressure on the abdomen during connection or disconnection.

[0116] In one embodiment, the width of the abdominal panel 212 in the middle is greater than the width at both ends. The wider middle portion covers the main stress area of ​​the abdomen to increase the support area, while the narrower portion reduces the accumulation of redundant material on the sides, achieving a balance between concentrated support and flexibility of movement. Optionally, the width of the middle portion of the abdominal panel 212 is approximately equivalent to the width of a user's palm, so that the support effect of the abdominal panel 212 can achieve a similar effect to a human hand supporting the abdomen.

[0117] In one embodiment, the second strap 22 is provided with a lifting handle 221. The user can apply a pulling force by holding the lifting handle 221 to help adjust the position or tightness of the second strap 22, making it easier for the user to wear the maternity support belt and avoiding pressure on the abdomen when directly pulling the belt.

[0118] In one embodiment, the lower edge of the second strap 22 extends diagonally downwards from the waist area to the junction 23 where the first strap 21 and the second strap 22 meet when worn. This design avoids the iliac crest of the body, improving wearing comfort, and also enhances the upward lifting force of the abdominal support.

[0119] In one embodiment, the lower edge of the first strap 21 extends obliquely upward from the abdominal region to the junction 23 where the first strap 21 and the second strap 22 meet when worn. This design avoids the iliac crest of the body, improving wearing comfort, and also enhances the upward lifting force of the abdominal support.

[0120] In one embodiment, the first strap 21 and the second strap 22 are connected by Velcro, one of the first strap 21 and the second strap 22 is provided with the velvet side of Velcro 222, and the other is provided with the hook side of Velcro 222.

[0121] In one embodiment, the Velcro 222 on the second strap 22 is configured to have a certain length, so that the position where the first strap 21 and the second strap 22 are detachably connected is adjustable. The user can slide and adjust the connection point between the first strap 21 and the second strap 22 according to changes in waist and abdominal circumference or tightness requirements to achieve adjustment.

[0122] In one embodiment, the hook and loop fastener 222 is sewn onto the first tape 21 or the second tape 22 by stitching. The stitching includes an outer perimeter stitching located at the edge area of ​​the hook and loop fastener and an inner perimeter stitching located in the middle area of ​​the hook and loop fastener. The outer perimeter stitching is sewn along all four sides of the hook and loop fastener 222, and the inner perimeter stitching runs through the middle of the hook and loop fastener 222 in a figure-eight, "X" shape, or parallel line form. This double fixation prevents the hook and loop fastener from curling up or falling off after repeated tearing, thus extending its service life.

[0123] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the laminated structure of a sheet material according to one embodiment of this application. In one embodiment, the maternity support belt is at least partially made of sheet material 30, which includes an outer layer 31, an inner layer 32, and an adhesive layer 33 disposed between the outer layer 31 and the inner layer 32. The outer layer 31 and the inner layer 32 are bonded together by the adhesive layer 33.

[0124] The maternity support belt of this embodiment is designed to support free cutting into irregular shapes by means of an outer layer 31, an inner layer 32, and an adhesive layer 33 disposed between the outer layer 31 and the inner layer 32. Specifically, the adhesive layer in the sheet tightly bonds the material layers, ensuring no risk of peeling between layers during cutting, thereby allowing the maternity support belt to be cut into irregular shapes such as arcs, waves, or irregular edges according to ergonomic needs. This design allows the maternity support belt to more accurately conform to the physiological curves of the pregnant woman's waist and abdomen area. For example, the lower edge of the waist support portion 10 can be cut into a straight line to fit the flat area of ​​the back, while the edge of the abdominal support portion can be cut at an angle or arc to conform to the shape of the protruding abdomen. In addition, this layered structure design of the sheet 30 can ensure strong elasticity and support while maintaining the maternity support belt's thinness and invisibility.

[0125] like Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the laminated structure of the sheet material according to another embodiment of this application. In one embodiment, the adhesive layer 33 includes a first adhesive layer 331, a buffer layer 332, and a second adhesive layer 333, which are stacked sequentially from the inside out. By using a layered adhesive method, the structural strength of the sheet material is ensured while the buffer layer provides a flexible cushioning space, reducing the rigid pressure on the waist and abdomen area when wearing the garment.

[0126] In one embodiment, the first adhesive layer 331 and the second adhesive layer 333 are adhesive layers. The adhesive layers can be hot melt adhesives or environmentally friendly adhesives, and are bonded to adjacent layers through hot pressing or coating processes to ensure that the layers of the sheet are tightly bonded and without gaps, avoiding structural loosening or deformation due to interlayer peeling.

[0127] In one embodiment, the buffer layer 332 is a sponge layer. The sponge layer is made of high-resilience, breathable polyurethane sponge or memory foam. Its porous structure can further absorb local pressure fluctuations generated during activities, while enhancing the breathability of the sheet and reducing stuffiness.

[0128] In one embodiment, the inner layer 32 is provided with ventilation holes. The ventilation holes are distributed in an array in the inner layer, and the pore size and arrangement density are designed according to ergonomic requirements. By increasing the air circulation path, the sweat evaporation is accelerated, and skin discomfort caused by the accumulation of moisture and heat during prolonged wear is avoided.

[0129] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the illustration, this application embodiment also provides a maternity support belt, which includes: a waist support portion 10, which is configured to pass through the user's waist area and extend to both sides of the user when worn; and an abdominal support portion connected to the waist support portion 10, which is configured to be located in the user's abdominal area when worn. The abdominal support portion includes a first strap 21 and a second strap 22 extending along both sides of the waist support portion 10, respectively. The first strap 21 and the second strap 22 are detachably connected. When worn, the first strap 21 passes through the user's abdominal area and is detachably connected to the second strap 22 on the user's side.

[0130] In one embodiment, the maternity support belt includes a lumbar support portion 10 and an abdominal support portion. The lumbar support portion 10 is configured to pass through the user's waist area and extend to both sides of the user when worn. Its width and length are designed according to the size of the human waist to fully cover the lumbar spine area and provide uniform circumferential support. The two sides of the lumbar support portion 10 are respectively connected to the first strap 21 and the second strap 22 of the abdominal support portion to form an integrated support structure.

[0131] The abdominal support is positioned in the user's abdominal area when worn, and includes a first strap 21 and a second strap 22 extending along both sides of the waist support 10. The first strap 21 extends from one side of the waist support 10 and passes through the user's abdominal area, while the second strap 22 extends from the other side of the waist support 10 to the user's side. Both are secured at the side by a detachable connection structure (such as Velcro, hooks, or snaps). This lateral connection design allows the wearer to operate the garment without bending over or relying on assistance, making it particularly suitable for pregnant women in late pregnancy with limited mobility.

[0132] When worn, the first strap 21 extends from the central area of ​​the abdomen to the sides, covering the main protruding parts of the abdomen to provide support, while the second strap 22 extends along the sides to the connection point with the first strap 21. By adjusting the connection position of the first strap 21 and the second strap 22, the user can adjust the tightness according to their waist circumference and abdominal size, ensuring a close fit and even pressure distribution. In addition, the detachable connection structure of the first strap 21 and the second strap 22 facilitates quick putting on and taking off, and also supports dynamic adjustment to adapt to changes in the shape of the waist and abdomen during pregnancy.

[0133] The above design achieves comprehensive support and dynamic adaptation for the waist and abdomen area through the separate connection and lateral fixation mechanism of the waist support part 10 and the abdominal support part, solving the problems of inconvenience in wearing, difficulty in adjustment and insufficient fit of traditional maternity support belts.

[0134] This application embodiment describes a maternity support belt comprising: a lumbar support portion, which is configured to pass through the user's waist area and extend to both sides of the user when worn; and an abdominal support portion, connected to the lumbar support portion, which is configured to be located in the user's abdominal area when worn. The abdominal support portion includes a first strap and a second strap extending along both sides of the lumbar support portion, respectively. The first strap and the second strap are detachably connected, and the lengths of the first strap and the second strap are unequal, allowing the user to easily open and close the belt at a position on or near the side of the body, thus facilitating user operation.
