BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a bionic and posture-correcting backrest for study, and more particularly to a bionic and posture-correcting backrest for study for primary school students.
2. Description of the Related Art
Nowadays, an increasing number of primary school students and middle school students are suffering from short-sight and hunchback.
There are many causes for such unhealthy tendency and the results are serious. From the perspective of school hygiene, “forward sitting position” is defined if a person's upper body gravity is right on or in the front of the ischiatic tuberosity, where the balance is maintained by the back muscles and thighs. “Backward sitting position” is defined if a person's upper body gravity is behind the ischiatic tuberosity, where the back must be against the backrest. It is apparent that the forward sitting position is likely to cause fatigue while the backward sitting position is not. However, students are fond of using the forward sitting position to study by bending over the desks. From the perspective of the physiology, when your line of sight is perpendicular to the object you are looking at, the image projected onto your retina is the clearest. It is called the “physiological visual angle”. Therefore, the students have to look down for the clearest image. From the perspective of the biology, human bones are made up of hard and fragile inorganic composition and flexible organic composition. The physical properties of bones are hardness and flexibility. The content of different composition and the physical properties of bones vary with age. For example, teenagers' bones are less hard but more flexible and elastic; therefore they are unlikely to be fractured but likely to be deformed. If students do not pay more attention on their sitting position when they study, they would suffer from hunchback, scoliosis or short-sight. Liu Zhiming, the attending physician in Beijing Puren Hospital (previously Beijing No. 4 Hospital), finds out after many years research that if teenagers pay less attention on their sitting position when they study, they are more likely to suffer from fatigue, short-sight and hunchback. An even more serious consequence is that they are at considerably higher risk of contracting cervical spondylosis after growing up.
However, this unhealthy phenomenon has not been deeply realized. On the one hand, students like to use the forward sitting position to study by bending over the desks, they have not been aware of the function of the backward sitting position. On the other hand, some students partially lay great emphasis on backward sitting position, they have not been aware of the importance of the forward sitting position and not recognized such position can be necessary and corrected. But in fact, if there is no “forward sitting position”, Chinese traditional brush cannot be used properly. The backward sitting position, as a sitting position contrary to the forward sitting position, also has the problem that students study by bending over the desks. In addition, the forward sitting position and the backward sitting position, as two basic positions, can be freely switched. During the switch, there are other optional positions because people cannot sit with only one position. All the positions are contributable to correct sitting, reading, writing, and listening, i.e. a fist distance between chest and edge of desk and a foot from eyes to books. In this way, the fingertip can be an inch from the pen point while the head and body can remain straight.
To solve the above problems, some measures have been taken but with poor results. With respect to the backrest, related devices have been invented to prevent short-sight and hunchback. They have effects to some extent but still have the following problems. First of all, people cannot move back and forth. As the adjustable support is vertically fixed, people can only sit against the adjustable support. It is only one of the correct forward sitting positions or the backward sitting positions or the combination thereof. Children tend to change their positions from time to time, thus it is difficult to let them stick to only one sitting position. If they sit forwards, the chests and abdomens have no support, if they sit backwards, the adjustable support will block the line of sight. Secondly, the upper part of the body is not completely against the adjustable support (i.e. pectoral plate). The conventional adjustable support is the sternal plate. The lower end of the sternal plate is not connected with the ventral plate and the abdomen is not supported. When students are in study, their waists are likely to bend and their bodies are likely to move downwards. In addition, under normal circumstances, sitting tools do not have backrests, if they have, the backrests are mostly fixed. Even if the backrests are moveable forwards and backwards, they are not fit with the conventional adjustable support, therefore, the external condition for study with the correct sitting position is not achieved.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn view of the above-described problems, it is one objective of the invention to provide a bionic and posture-correcting backrest for study, which matches with desks and chairs, especially the bionic and posture-correcting desks and chairs. It allows users to maintain the correct “forward sitting position” and the “backward sitting position” or any sitting position therebetween all the time. The sitting position can be easily adjusted and it is unlikely to cause fatigue.
To achieve the above objective, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, there is provided a bionic and posture-correcting backrest for study, comprising a bracket body disposed at the rear of the desk via a mounting rack, wherein an adjustable element is provided on a frame which is between the chest/abdomen and the desk edge as well as between the chin and lower part of abdomen (slightly above the thighs); the adjustable element is a fist distance away from the desk edge if a user sits on the chair with the correct sitting position. In this way, the “forward sitting position” and the “backward sitting position” or any sitting position therebetween can be achieved and meanwhile freely switched. The bracket body comprises at least one adjustable tubular pile and a pectoral/ventral plate. The pectoral/ventral plate is moveably connected with an upper adjustable plate. Inside of the adjustable tubular pile is sheathed with a chin adjustment element, which is used to adjust the height of a chin rest.
In a class of this embodiment, the adjustable element is that the bracket body comprises the pectoral/ventral plate and 1-3 adjustable tubular pile(s) whose inside is sheathed with adjustable tubes. The length of the adjustable element equals to the distance between two points with one from the upper end of the chest to the lower part of the abdomen and the other one from the lower end of the bracket body to the upper side of the thighs, the width of the adjustment element equals to the distance between two points with one at 2.5 cm in the middle of the left and right chest and the other one is the two sides of the chest. The upper end of the adjustable tubular pile is sheathed with a pad cover comprising a reversed pin. Inside of the pad cover is sheathed with a first adjustable tube. The lower end of the first adjustable tube is sheathed with a first adjustable pin, which is larger than the adjustable tube and fits with the adjustable tubular pile.

The lower end of the second adjustable pin is against by the upper end of the adjustable arm of the first adjustable pin at the other side. When the second and the first adjustable tubes slide to the base plate of the adjustable tubular pile, the pin head of the second adjustable tube, adjacent to one side of the adjustable arm of a second adjustable pin, passes through the first adjustable tube and one aperture of the adjustable tubular pile. When the first adjustable tube is pulled to its limit to the corresponding position of the upper part of the adjustable tubular pile, on the other side, the pin head of the first adjustable pin passes through one aperture of the adjustable tubular pile. On the first adjustable tube of one side of the pin head of the second adjustable pin of the second adjustable tube is disposed with positional adjustment holes from top to bottom. The upper end of the adjustable groove of another adjustable arm is reversely disposed with the spring. The spring 5 is placed on a block that is extended from the wall of the adjustable pin. Another adjustable arm extends downwards with an inclined foot that is sheathed with an inclined aperture of another pin block and a circular pin is used to connect the adjustable tubes as a whole. At the front of the adjustable tubular pile and the pectoral plate is moveably connected with an upper adjustable plate in the transversal direction. The width of the upper adjustable plate equals to the width of the pectoral plate and the length of the upper adjustable plate equals to the distance of the fist (to the desk) plus the part in the mounting bracket. The two sides of the upper adjustable plate are disposed with recesses that fit with a moveable pin of the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is reversely disposed at the bottom of the desktop. The adjustable plate cover of the mounting bracket comprises an upper plate and a base plate. The top two ends and the front end of the upper plate are each connected with a baffle and disposed with the moveable pins.
In a class of this embodiment, a reversed button can be sheathed below the chin rest. The chin rest of the adjustable tube comprises a chin pad, another button plate, and lever arms. The chin rest is sheathed at the upper end of the two adjustable tubes. The upper ends of the two lever arms pass through the apertures at the opposite inner sides of the two adjustable tubes to moveably connect with the upper end of the connecting rod, respectively. The apertures at the upper ends of the two lever arms are moveably connected with the transverse shafts on the chin rest. The upturned sides at the lower ends of the two lever arms are inserted into the bottom of a connecting groove, which is reversely disposed in the chin rest and which is on another button plate. Another button plate is hanged on the two lever arms via hanging rods at the front and back of the connecting groove. The chin rest of the adjustable tube comprises a chin pad and another lever arm. The chin rest is sheathed on the upper end of the adjustable tube. The aperture at the upper end of another lever arm is moveably connected with the transverse shaft, which is at the other side of the connecting tube and which is on the adjustable tube. The lower end of another lever arm is at the other side of the adjustable tube to inclinedly extend to the bottom of the chin rest. The upper end of the first adjustable tube is covered by the chin pad and the lower end of the first adjustable tube is sheathed with a first adjustable pin, which is bigger than the first adjustable tube and which fits with the adjustable tubular pile. The two adjustable pins are parallelly connected with each other to form an adjustable pin. The pin head of the adjustable pin can face one side or face both sides. On the pin head of the adjustable pin and on the adjustable tubular pile are disposed with positional adjustment holes from top to bottom. On one side of the pin head, a side button 206 is extended from the adjustable groove of the adjustable tubular pile. The side button comprises an upper button block and a lower button block. The upper button block and the lower button block are respectively at one side of the first adjustable tube to connect with the upper end of the adjustable arm and the lower outer side of the first adjustable pin. One side of the external adjustable tubular pile is connected with the upper/lower ends of an upper circular tube and a lower circular tube that are sheathed with the spring. The upper button block and the lower button block of the two adjustable tubular piles are transversally connected as a whole.
In a class of this embodiment, the bracket body comprises 1-3 adjustable tubular pile(s), whose inside is sheathed with adjustable tubes and which combines with the pectoral plate. The length of the adjustable element equals to the distance of two points with one from the upper end of the chest to the lower part of the abdomen and the other one is from the lower end of the bracket body to the upper side of the thighs, the width of the adjustment element equals to the distance of two points with one at 2.5 cm in the middle of the left and right chest or the sternal plate is narrow but the ventral plate has the same width as the abdomen. The upper end of the adjustable tubular pile is connected with the chin rest. The other three sides of the adjustable tubular pile form the frame edge. From the middle point of the left and right frame edges extends downwards with a section. An acute angle triangle (the top is the acute angle and the bottom becomes thicker) is formed from the middle point of such section to separate the adjustable column into a rear plate and a front plate. One surface of the rear plate becomes thinner to zero along the rear plate of the adjustable tubular pile while one surface of the front plate becomes thinner along the front plate of the adjustable tubular pile to be the gear head and fit with the positional adjustment gears. The rear side of the front plate of the adjustable column on the gear head passes through the front side and extends with a rectangle button underframe in the transversal direction, which fits with the adjustable groove of the adjustable tubular pile. The button underframe matches with the reversed pin of another button. Another buttons on the two adjustable tubular piles can be transversally connected as a whole. At the connection point between the ventral plate and the sternal plate is moveably connected with an upper adjustable plate. The left and right ends of the upper adjustable plate are disposed with equidistant positional adjustment gears, which fit with the mounting bracket. A bracket position correction element is disposed between the upper adjustable plate and the pectoral plate. The adjustable cover of the mounting bracket comprises a cover plate, a median plate, a base plate, a wheel, a moveable plate, adjustable cover pin blocks, the spring and another handle.
