same! I i ll////////////////////%//// THERAPEUTIC CHAIR FOR EXERCISING BACK MUSCLES FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to therapeutic devices, and more particularly to a therapeutic chair for exercising a persons back muscles.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the past, therapeutic devices have been produced to exercise, relax and develop various parts of the human body; however, none of these have been capable of effectively exercising the back muscles. Many people with back trouble are required to bend their torsos side to side to develop certain muscles. This requires some dexterity on the part of the person to perform these exercises because he can easily lose his balance as he bends his back either to the left or right. In addition, people with back trouble find it difficult to perform the simplest exercise without mechanical aid.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION An object of this invention is to provide a simple, economical back exerciser.
Another object is to provide a chair which allows a person s back to bend to the right and then to the left, alternatively.
Another object is to provide a therapeutic chair which bends the back to the left and to the right, alternatively, and has means to insure that the person s head has remained substantially stationary.
These and other objects and features of advantage will become more apparent after studying the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment together with the appended drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS:
FIG. 1 is a back elevation of the novel therapeutic chair showing a person sitting thereon.
FIG. 2 is a left side elevation of the chair and person of FIG. 1. I
FIG. 3 is an enlarged back view of the chair of FIG. 1, shown inpartial sections.
FIG. 4 is the'bottom view of the chair, showing the prime mover.
FIG. 5 is a side section of the chair of FIG. 3, showing the upper portion only.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS:
Referring to the drawings, and FIGS. 1 and 2 in particular, my novel device is shown in use with a man sitting on a seat 11 mounted to a base member 12. As shown by dash lines 13 in FIG. 1, the seat 12 pivots about a horizontal axis by means to be described more fully hereinafter. Mounted to the base member 12 is a vertically disposed rod 14 that has a head feeler 16 slidably mounted thereon. A thumb screw 17 locks the feeler 16 to the rod in a standard manner common to the art. The head feeler 16 is adjusted in height so that the man sitting upright feels the feeler 16 with his head. The seat 11 is made to rock with the aid of a convenient prime mover such as an electric motor 18 (FIGS. 3 and 4) by turning the switch 19 (FIG. 1).
Referring to FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, the operation of the device will be described. The base 12 has four legs 21 connected by four side plates 22. The legs 21 and plates 22 are, for example, integrally formed out of wood. Over the top of the legs and plates is disposed a cover 23 that has a central opening 24. The motor 18 is suitably mounted on one plate 22 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, by a bracket 26. Attached to the shaft of the motor 18 is a gear box 27 that reduces the rotational speed so that an eccentric crank 28 rotates about, for example, 6 RPM. The crank 28 is coupled by suitable means to rock the seat 11 about a horizontal axis. The seat 11 is preferably contoured molded out of plastic and has bonded to its underside a wood board 31 to which is fastened a triangular shaped bracket 32, near the center of the seat, by means of a flange 33 (FIG. 5) on the bracket. Welded to the bracket 32 is a shaft 34 that has its ends journalled mounted within a pair of bearing pillow blocks 36, which are in turn bolted to the cover 23. To provide greater stability and strength to the seat, a pair of steel bars 37 are also welded to shaft 34, as shown in FIG. 5, which bars 37 are also fastened to the wood board 31. These described parts allow the seats to rotate about the horizontal axis defined by shaft 34.
The motion of the seat 11 is controlled to pivot back and forth by the aid of a steel bar 41 depending from and welded to bracket 32 and also by a connecting rod 42 pin connected at one end to the lower end of bar 41. The other end of rod 42 is connected to the eccentric crank 28 so that as crank 28 rotates, bar 41 pivots back and forth about the shaft 34, moving the seat 11 therewith. The motor 18 is powered by electrical currents through a plug 45 and wire 46. In series with the motor is a timer 47 that is actuated by switch 19. The timer 47 is of the standard type that turns off the current after a predetermined time.
Seat 11, although it is not shown, is preferably contoured to conform to the human body in a manner standard to the art. In addition, if one does not desire to use the head feeler 16, a sighting means 50 can be fixed to the base so that a sighting bar extends out, horizontally from the base between a persons legs as shown in FIG. 2. The bar is parallel to the horizontal axis of rotation. The sighting means 50 is used by aligning the end of the sighting rod with a spot on the floor and in this manner the head is capable of being maintained substantially steady.
Although only one embodiment of my invention has been described, one skilled in the art after studying the above disclosure can devise other embodiments coming within the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore this invention is not limited to the. described embodiment, but includes all embodiments which fall within the scope of the claims.
I claim:
1. A therapeutic chair comprising:
a base adopted to be disposed firmly on a floor,
a seat pivotably mounted to said base and disposed to pivot about a fixed horizontal axis, first means for pivoting said seat back and forth on either side from its horizontal position, and
