Patent Searching and Data


Title:
【発明の名称】座席挿入物
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2577260
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A seat insert insertable within the existing seat of a vehicle for maintaining a crew member of the vehicle in a forward posture during high G acceleration. An elongated head support member is provided for supporting the crew member's head during a forward leaning posture. A back plate assembly including at least one back plate is connected to the head support member for supporting the spine in its natural curvature. Means being connected to the back plate assembly are provided for pivoting the back plate assembly forward relative to the seat of the vehicle. Means are provided for transfering any G-induced weight from the spine to the back plate assembly and ultimately to the existing seat of the vehicle. The head support member is restrained in such a manner so as to maintain the crew member's head in an "eyes up" attitude during a forward lean. The seat insert reduces the risk of spinal injury by off-loading the pilot's spine and supporting the spine in its natural curvature, thereby preventing harmful bending of the spine and non-uniform load distribution across individual vertebrae interfaces.
