Solution Overview

Problem

Existing ergonomic chairs require specific and complex structures to maintain correct posture, which are not universally applicable and thus not used in a generalized manner.

Innovation Solution

A simple posture corrector comprising an elastic support element for the abdomen and an attachment means to secure it to the table, allowing users to adopt an upright posture regardless of the chair type.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If ergonomic chairs with specific support structures are used, then correct posture is maintained, but device complexity increases and universality decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposture correction effectivenessVSAvoidchair structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the essential posture correction function from complex ergonomic chairs and implements it through a simple elastic element attached to the table. Instead of modifying the entire chair structure, only a minimal elastic support element is needed to provide the necessary abdominal support and posture correction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic element attached to the table edge can be used with any type of chair or table, making the solution universally applicable. The attachment means allows the same device to work across different working environments and furniture types, eliminating the need for chair-specific designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If ergonomic chairs with specific support structures are used, then correct posture is maintained, but adaptability to different chairs decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposture correction effectivenessVSAvoidcompatibility with different chair types
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The table edge serves as an intermediary support point that connects the elastic element to the user's abdomen. By using the table as a stable anchor point rather than relying on the chair structure, the solution becomes adaptable to any chair type while maintaining effective posture correction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The attachment means designed to secure to the table edge allows the same posture correction device to work with any chair or table combination, making it universally adaptable to different working environments and furniture types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The posture corrector effectively strengthens muscles and encourages an upright posture by providing adjustable and universal support, enhancing user comfort and reducing the risk of musculoskeletal issues.

Implementation Method 1

an element having a certain elasticity, thereby slightly deforming in response to the pressure exerted against it by the abdomen of the user

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElasticity: Elasticity

AI summary

The invention discloses a posture corrector (1) to cause a user sitting in front of a table (100) to adopt a correct posture. The corrector (1) comprises: an elastic support element (2) for the abdomen of the user configured to be provided between an abdomen of the user and a front edge (110) of the table (100); and an attachment means (3) dismountably connected to the support element (2), where the attachment means (3) is configured to attach said support element (2) to the table (100).
