This Patent Application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0008788 filed on Jan. 24, 2014, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
BACKGROUNDThe present invention relates to an assistant tool for study and office work, and more particularly, to an assistant tool capable of enhancing learning or working efficiency by reducing a user's physical fatigue by allowing a learner or a worker to maintain a good posture when learning or working in front of a desk.
Recently, various physical problems of students or office workers due to their bad posture habits have become an issue. Further, bad posture causes various kinds of fatigues, thereby ultimately weakening learning or working efficiency, and thus maintaining the correct posture in front of the desk may be very important.
In consideration of such importance of posture, various functional chair products and various pad products which are placed between a desk and a user's belly and help a user to have a good posture are sold in the market. However, such products are not adjustable according to the user's posture inclination and have limits in the actual effects as general-purpose products.
SUMMARYAn object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for correcting a posture attachable to a desk, which may be variable and be optimized according to a user's posture characteristics or habits.
In order to solve the above problem, according to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for correcting a posture attachable to a desk, including a desk fixing member of which a side surface has a “C”-shape so as to be fixed on an upper plate of the desk and in which an inserting groove is formed along a vertical direction on a rear surface, an attaching member including a desk attaching unit which penetrates an upper surface or a lower surface of the desk fixing member and is attached on the upper plate of the desk, and an attachment-adjusting screw which adjusts a strength of attachment, a height adjusting member which is inserted into the inserting groove, of which the height may be adjusted by adjusting an inserting length, and which includes a rotation axis and a rotation locking unit at an end part thereof, a posture correcting pad which adjusts a user's posture located on a front surface of the desk and is attached to the user, and a rotatable pad connecting member of which one end is coupled with the posture correcting pad and the other end is coupled with a rotation axis of the height adjusting member so that the posture correcting pad may be connected to the height adjusting member, wherein the posture correcting pad is coupled to be rotatable through a coupling between the pad connecting member and a rotation axis, and wherein the posture correcting pad is rotatable by 180 or more degrees.
A height fixing member for fixing a modified height of the height adjusting member may be coupled with an external surface of the inserting groove.
The height fixing member may include a screw, and a penetration hole including a nut structure which the screw may penetrate may be formed on the external surface.
The posture correcting pad may include a pad supporting unit and a buffer pad which is coupled with the pad supporting unit and is made of elastic materials.
According to an apparatus for correcting a posture attachable to a desk according to an embodiment of the present invention, the height of a pad and the position of rotation may be variably changed, thus various combinations of the pad positions are possible, thus the user-tailored various modifications are possible, thereby being generally usable to all users having various postures.
Particularly, the present invention has an advantage of adjusting the distance between the user's front part and the pad as well as the height because the pad for correcting the posture includes a height-changing element and two rotatable elements.
Hereinafter, an apparatus for correcting a posture attachable to a desk according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. However, the description below is merely illustrative and the technical concept of the present invention may be determined only by the claims to be described later.
Referring to
The desk fixing member 100 performs a function of allowing the apparatus 100 for correcting the posture attachable to the desk to be attached on the desk. The desk fixing member 100 may have a “C” shape, and an upper plate of the desk having a certain thickness is inserted and fixed at the groove part of the “C” shape. Because the desk fixing member 100 have the “C” shape, the desk fixing member 100 includes an opened side surface, an upper surface, a lower surface, and a rear surface.
A penetration hole 105 is formed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the desk fixing member 100, and thus an attaching member may be arranged as shown in
An inserting groove 110 is formed at the rear surface of the desk fixing member 100 so that the above described height adjusting member 200 may be inserted and moved in the vertical direction. The inserting groove 110 has a structure that a part of the rear surface of the inserting groove 110 is projected to have a space where the desk fixing member 100 may be moved.
Referring to
Though not illustrated in the attached drawings, a plurality of grooves or penetration holes may be formed in the height adjusting body 210 in order to allow height adjustment in a plurality of steps. Further, a penetration hole, where an inserting nut is formed, exists at the external surface of the inserting groove 100 which is formed at the rear surface of the desk fixing member 100, and as illustrated in
Referring to
The posture correcting pad 400 includes a buffer pad 420 which is substantially attached, and a pad support unit 410 which supports the buffer pad 420. For example, the buffer pad 420 may be coupled by an adhesive, etc. after being inserted into a groove (not shown) which is formed at the front surface of the pad support unit 410.
Referring to
That is,
Referring to
Likewise, various user-tailored utilizations according to various arrangements of the posture correcting pad 400 are possible.
