Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a posture corrector, and more particularly to a posture corrector for patients who avoid strong stimuli such as surgery or acupuncture therapy, which corrects the spine by having the user lie down and repeatedly raise and lower their head and shoulders while compressing the pubic bone and thorax with a compression part. [Background technology]

[0002] The spine is the most important part of the human body, and modern people spend a lot of time sitting down, so they often bow their heads or bend forward when reading books or using computers. Furthermore, students taking exams often spend long periods of time with their heads bowed while studying.

[0003] If you repeatedly take such an incorrect posture, your head will protrude forward from your shoulders, your back will bend backwards, and your cervical spine will tend to become straight or curve forward. Also, the muscles at the back of your neck and shoulders have to support the weight of your head so that it doesn't tilt forward, so the muscles tend to become constantly stiff and rigid, which can lead to cervical and spinal disorders.

[0004] To address these issues, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2011-0053729 (hereinafter referred to as the "cited invention") discloses a scoliosis correction device that applies force at various angles and compression forces to correct the spine while the scoliosis patient is lying face down, as shown in Figure 1.

[0005] However, the cited invention can directly press and correct an unstable spine by pressing the user's vertebrae through a guide bar installed by a guide bar fixing means on a rail on which a guide rail is installed.

[0006] However, this method has problems in that it directly presses against the area that needs correction, stimulating it, which can cause pain, and it only serves to temporarily press unstable areas when worn. This avoids stimulating treatments such as surgery, treatment, and acupuncture, and has problems in that it directly presses against the spine of the user who wants to effectively correct their posture, causing pain. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to provide a posture corrector that is provided with a compression section for compressing and fixing the rib cage and pubic bone of a user on a bed on which the user can lie, and that allows the user to adjust the degree of compression of the rib cage and pubic bone after lying on the bed, and to repeat the movement of raising and lowering the head or the head and shoulders at the same time, thereby correcting the spine. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention can include a bed that supports the body of a user lying on the upper side, and a compression unit that compresses the user's thorax and pubic bone by being coupled to a belt-shaped fixing belt that wraps around and fixes the body of the user lying on the bed and a chest compression device that fixes the user's thorax and a pubic compression device that fixes the user's pubic bone, respectively.

[0009] Both ends of the fixing belt are connected to at least one electric device provided under the bed, and the degree of pressure of the compression part that fixes the user can be adjusted by pulling both ends by the electric device.

[0010] The bed may further include a control unit on one side thereof for adjusting the degree of pressure of the compression unit transmitted to the user through the electric device.

[0011] The pubic compression device can also include a cushion that is formed so as to have a curved longitudinal section, is formed to cover the abdomen and pelvis of the user, and has a crescent-shaped recess in an area corresponding to the user's pubic bone, and a pubic bone pressing plate that is placed in the crescent-shaped recess of the cushion and is pressed by the fixing belt to press the user's pubic bone.

[0012] The pubic bone compression device further includes an auxiliary cushion having a shape corresponding to the bottom surface of the pubic bone compression device, the auxiliary cushion being formed in multiple stages, and one end facing the user's chest being connected to each other and the other end being formed so that it can rotate toward the user's chest, the pubic bone compression device further includes a cover provided on the upper surface, and a pressing tool formed in a shaft shape with a screw thread, having a grippable handle at one end and connectable to the pubic bone pressing plate at the other end via a hole formed in the fixing belt, the pressing tool being disposed in an area within the pubic bone compression device where the pubic bone pressing plate is disposed, and when the handle is rotated by an external force, the pressing tool is inserted downward along a pressing hole formed in the cover, and the pubic bone pressing plate moves downward along a side wall of the cover to press the user's pubic bone. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the present invention, a bed on which a user can lie is provided, and a chest compression device and a pubic compression device for fixing the chest and pubic bone of a user lying on the bed are connected to a fixing belt, so that the user can easily fix the chest and pubic bone while compressing them.
