Description

1 TARIFF TIME TO BE USED IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATION WORK. ERGONOMIC KNEE AND FOOT SUPPORT SYSTEM WITH WARNING SYSTEM Technological Field: 5 This invention relates to the field of ergonomic support equipment, particularly for archaeological excavations. The work of archaeologists and similar field workers who work on their knees or bending over. It includes knee and foot support systems aimed at improving health and safety. State of the Art: During archaeological excavations, archaeologists kneel for long periods of time and 10 They have to work with their legs bent. This puts excessive strain on the knee joints. health problems such as pressure, ankle strain, decreased blood circulation, numbness and pain This is causing problems. Current knee brace and under-knee support solutions generally only support the area below the knee, not the foot. it does not take into account the wrist position and the user remaining in the same position for a long time 15 It does not include any warning system to prevent this. Furthermore, these products are located at the excavation site. It does not offer a holistic solution for the preservation of delicate archaeological artifacts. For these reasons, a new ergonomic, user-aware and field-condition-appropriate design is needed. A solution is needed. Purpose of the Invention 20 Invention; • To reduce the mechanical load on the knees and ankles of archaeologists, • To support blood circulation by preventing excessive ankle flexion, • By creating a soft surface under the knee, it protects both the user and the excavation area. to protect delicate archaeological artifacts, 25 2 • To prevent the user from working in the same position for a long time without realizing it. developing a system that provides time-based alerts Explanation of the Figures Figure 1: General view of the ergonomic knee and foot support system. Figure 2: Schematic showing the layout of the microcontroller (5) and the electronic alert system (6) appearance References: 1. Soft base to protect delicate archaeological artifacts at the excavation site. 2. Triangular support surface 3. Visco foam 10 4. Protective enclosure 5. Microcontroller 6. Buttons 7. Buzzer 8. Battery 15 9. Velcro mechanism Description of the Invention: The invention is a support system for the lower leg, from the knee to the foot, for the user. It is designed as a triangular device placed on the lower leg, from the knee to the user's foot. The support sponge in the shape of (2) is made up of a softer visco section (3) integrated into this surface, 20 and a soft base that protects delicate archaeological artifacts at the excavation site It consists of. The visco section (3) is softer than the sponge (2) underneath it, and the user It makes them more comfortable. The part of the triangular support sponge (2) that corresponds to the foot end is made higher. It distributes the load on the ankle, allowing the user to stand more comfortably on their knees. 25 It enables the user to work. It also protects the user's lower leg from contact with hard surfaces. It protects. At the same time, the soft base (1) protects the delicate archaeological site found in the excavation area. It prevents the works from being damaged. 3 The electronic components inside the sponge are protected from dust in a way that is suitable for field conditions. Damage is prevented by a protective casing (4) that protects against moisture and impacts. Depending on the microcontroller (5) in the system, the time specified by the user There are 2 buttons (6) for setting. At the end of the set time, the user is given It gives warnings with the help of a buzzer (7). These warnings inform the user of their working position. 5 It allows for changing or pausing the electronic components within the system. It operates with a battery (8). The system can be optionally secured to the user's leg using a Velcro mechanism. (9) is located. Industrial Applicability of the Invention: 10 This invention is useful in archaeological excavation sites, museums, restoration work, and similar field projects. Suitable for mass production in industrial applications and as ergonomic support equipment. It is feasible.
