Definitions

  • This invention relates to a support frame for use by supine persons to provide substantially total relaxation for the spine.
  • the present invention provides a frame on which a person may lie supine with the spinal region supported in a manner that produces minimal strain.
  • a frame for the support of supine persons comprising a rigid rectangular frame carrying a plurality of parallel rods attached to and crossing the space between the two longer sides of the frame and forming four groups located in the position of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and pelvic regions of the body, the groups of rods located in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions carry a pair of barrel shaped or spherical support members on each rod rigidly fixed to or integral with the rod and spaced equidistantly about the longitudinal axis of the frame and extending upwardly above the edges of the frame, the rods and support members being mounted so that the upper surfaces of the support members are raised above the sides of the frame.
  • a supine person desiring minimal back strain lies on the frame with their legs flexed with an approximately ninety degree angle between the thigh and the shin portions of the leg.
  • the frame is preferably fabricated from timber, the sides having a thickness in the range 15 mm to 30 mm depending on the type of timber used.
  • the timber is beech.
  • Alternative materials include metals and synthetic resin composites such as glass and carbon fibre reinforced polymers .
  • the sides of the frame must have sufficient height to accommodate the vertical movement of the support members so that when the frame is placed on a flat surface the support members can move freely without vertical restriction through contact with the supporting surface .
  • the rods may be formed of a resilient material or, if rigid, may be mounted in a manner that permits vertical movement but not rotary movement.
  • the rods are formed from timber however other materials, such a steel, titanium, aluminium and synthetic polymeric compositions may be used.
  • the construction will be solid however the strength of some alternative materials may permit tubular construction.
  • the frame must be capable of supporting a supine human being and preferably has a length of about one metre.
  • the support members preferably comprise pairs of barrel shaped or spherical members having an outer diameter of 60 to 140 mm, with a width of about 70 mm and a central spacing of 30 to 75 mm. The central spacing should be sufficient for the surfaces of the support members to rest against the area of the facet joints of the spinal column.
  • the rods are spaced so that there is a gap of approximately 1 mm between the outer convex surface of each support member carried by adjacent rods. This allows the support members to move in a vertical plane without frictional contact between their outermost surfaces.
  • the rods carrying the support members are mounted in sets arranged to accommodate the various regions of the spine, cervical, thoracic and lumbar. Beyond these regions, i.e for the pelvic region, plain rods without support members are used to support the buttocks and feet of the user.
  • the rods in the cervical and lumbar regions are located above the horizontal plane of the frame to provide a convex upward surface which substantially follows the natural curvature of the human spine in these regions.
  • the rods in the thoracic and pelvic regions lie in a horizontal plane.
  • a person lies supine on the frame with the legs flexed at an angle of approximately ninety degrees.
  • the support members support the back of the body each side of the spinal column along the facet joints. This enables the spine to rest in a relaxed state with no pressure on the vertebrae .
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of a frame according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a side view of the frame shown in Figure 1.
  • a frame for the support of supine persons consists of a rigid rectangular frame 1 having two end sections 2 and 3 joining two long sections 4 and 5.
  • the sections 2, 3, 4, and 5 are fabricated from timber and rigidly connected at each corner by mechanical fixings or conventional joinery techniques.
  • a series of groups of parallel rods 7, 8, 9 and 10 are located between the sides 4 and 5. The ends of the rods are fitted into the sides in a manner that prevents rotation and can accommodate a the vertical load arising from the portion of the body lying on the frame.
  • Each of the rods in the groups of rods 7, 8 and 9 carry a pair of round or barrel shaped support members 12, 12', 13, 13', 14 and 14' rigidly fixed to the associated rod and located equidistantly from a central axis. Each pair is spaced so that thier upper surfaces abut the facet joints.
  • the support members 12 to 14 and 12' to 14' extend upwardly above the edges of the frame.
  • the rods 7 and their associated support members 12 and 12 ' are adapted to support the cervical region of the spine and mounted to form an upwardly curved contour, see Figure 2, matching that of this region of the human body in its relaxed state.
  • the rods in the group 8 and their associated support members 13 and 13 ' lie in the same horizontal plane and support the thoracic region.
  • the rods in the group 9 their associated support members 14 and 14' are adapted to support the lumbar region of the spine and mounted to form a convex contour.
  • the support members 14 and 14' have a larger diameter than those used to support the cervical and thoracic regions.
  • the number and spacing of the rods shown in Figures 1 and 2 may be varied in accordance with the height and weight of the person who will lie on the frame.
  • the thoracic region may have from 5 to 6 rods and the lumbar region from 4 to 8 rods.
  • the following dimensions provided an excellent support frame in which the user lay totally relaxed.
  • Each support member is activated under gravitational forces from one or more corresponding facet joints on the spine.
  • the support system enabled each and every spinal joint to move. As a result of a chain reaction through all the joints the passive physiological range of mobility becomes affected causing increased mobility of the complex vertebral column.
  • the benefits of lying on a frame according to the invention include: Increased spinal mobility
  • the rectangular wooden . frame was constructed of timber having a thickness of 17 mm.
  • the major sides had a length of 880 mm and the minor sides of 250 mm providing an inside width of 220mm.
  • the first portion adapted to support the cervical region, had a length of 260 mm and contained five rods carrying pairs of barrel shaped support members .
  • Each barrel had a diameter of 72 mm and a length of 140 mm.
  • the pairs of barrels were separated by 30 mm.
  • the rods were mounted in the frame in a manner that created a convex curve having a crest 142 mm above the plane of the frame.
  • the second portion adapted to support the thoracic region, had a length of 220 mm and contained five rods carrying pairs of barrel shaped support members having the same dimensions as those used for the first portion. Unlike the first portion, the rods with their support members lay in a horizontal plane.
  • the third portion, adapted to support the lumbar region had a length of 180 mm and contained four rods carrying pairs of barrel shaped support members .
  • the barrels had a larger diameter than those used in the first two portions.
  • the rods were mounted in the frame in a manner that created a convex curve having a crest 120 mm above the plane of the frame.
  • the fourth portion, adapted to support the pelvic region had a length of 290 mm and contained five rods without any attached shaped support members .
  • the rods had a thickness of 95 mm.
  • the barrel shaped support members carried by the rods were replaced by substantially spherical support members .
  • the spheres used in the cervical and thoracic portions had an approximate diameter of 40 mm while those for the lumbar portion had a diameter of 50 mm .
  • the first two portions had six rods carrying spherical support members while the third portion had four rods.
  • the rods had a diameter of about 40 mm.

Abstract

Ce cadre de support de personnes en décubitus dorsal comprend un cadre rectangulaire rigide supportant plusieurs tiges parallèles, attachées aux deux côtés longs du cadre et traversant l'espace situé entre ces côtés. Ces tiges forment quatre groupes situés dans la position des régions cervicale, thoracique, lombaire et pelvienne du corps. Les groupes de tiges situés dans les régions cervicale, thoracique et lombaire portent une paire d'éléments de support en forme de tonneau ou cylindriques, fixés rigidement sur chaque tige ou solidaires de celles-ci, espacés de manière équidistance autour de l'axe longitudinal de cadre et s'étendant vers le haut au-dessus des bords du cadre. Les tiges et les éléments de support sont montés de façon que les surfaces supérieures des éléments de support soient surélevées par rapport aux côtés du cadre. Dans un mode de réalisation, les tiges portant les éléments de support sont montées ou construites de manière à permettre un déplacement limité dans un plan vertical. Les tiges, les éléments de support et le cadre sont, de préférence, construits dans du bois comme du hêtre. L'espacement préféré entre les centres de chaque paire d'éléments de support est de 75 mm et l'espacement entre les deux côtés longs du cadre est de 220 mm.
