Title:
CHAIR UTILIZING SELF-WEIGHT TRACTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/157965
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a chair utilizing self-weight traction, which is characterized in that it consists essentially of: a seat unit (10) which is arranged to swing about a horizontal shaft (14) installed on a chair leg (12) and which has a seat plate (16) and a back plate (18); and a binding foothold (20) arranged below the seat unit (10) so as to bind a foot of a user. According to the present invention, the seat unit (10) of the chair swings backwardly about the horizontal shaft (14) using the body weight of the user, thus enabling the user to readily take a self-weight traction posture. Therefore, the user who works while seated and thus may have a high practical need for spinal stretching may simply stretch his/her spine even during work without being restricted by time or space, leading to the effect of treating and preventing spinal disorders such as disorders of the lumbar disc and scoliosis caused by the long-term use of a chair.
