1. Massage working stool is, according to the claim 1, characterized to be as hollow cylinder shape ( 1 ), with along toothed covering (5 ). Covering could be made from elastic materials as wood,metal,plastic or composed materials.
2. Massage working stool is, according to the claim 2, characterized by the covering that could be toothed horizontal too ( 6 ). according to the claim 2
3. The round seat of the stool ( 4 ) is, according to the claim 3, characterized by hand adjustment of the tension, that is the hardness of the seat ( through the exhaust valve), if the sector of «Pilates « ball, as seat, is mounted in the hollow cylinder. |
THE MASSAGE STOOL
Tecnical field
This, further described, invention presents multilateral stool that could be used as ordinary stool as well as massage profilactic and therapeutic tool, sitting , intended primarly for home, and specialized therapeutic places.
Background art
Today's urban men the most time of theirs life spend sitting or lying ,so, the most used things at the work and at home are the chair and the bed,consequently, the biggest attention should be payed to their functional and ergonomic sharacteristics.
Sitting is not so natural body position,but, bad,irregular sitting and poor posture( what is mostly the case ) is the cause of many health problems ( backpain,spine distortion, weakening of spine muscles,lumbago,troubles in the lower part of the gastrointestinal tract,poor blood circulation,etc,..).
We are all different shapes and sizes and we all need different chairs adapted to us. But,the chairs on the markets are equalized,that is,there are not possibilities to adapt those chairs to individual physical and anatomic chatacteristics to user.
On the other hand,massage arm -chairs works with electromotors what is complicated and expensive.
I consider that the further described invention with its innovatory solutions can better suit individual demands to users that need or want the ergonomic chair for dynamic sitting which at the same time serves for exercise,back massage and muscle strength , what is orthopeds and industrial physician recommendation.
Disclosure of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to soothe above mentioned problems of sitting. The stool is of cylindrical shape with the usual height for chairs. When it is in the upright position it serves as the stool.The cylinder is hollow,the base is circle,as it is the seat which can be profiled,upholstered or as spherical sector of » pillates « ball.
The shell of cylinder is toothed .
When the stool is layed,ie. i n horizontal position, it can roll over the floor.The user lay down on his back on the layed stoll and roll forwaard-back. Flexible tooths of the shell perform activ props to parts of the back,that is ,give controlled activ resistance to the weight
of the leaned body parts ,massage them,increaseing muscle tonus and blood circulation, soothing the negative effects of the sitting as backache and stiffness, and,indirectly, increase concentration and work effects.
The covering of the cylinder shell could be wooden, or from hard or soft plastic-rubber or other suitable materials.The base of the stool (2 ) is round,could has mounted small wheels
(3 ) as used for office chairs.
The stools worked out in accordance to proposed concept are possible in various modifications and variants,but all in the scope of above described innovations.Besids,all particular details of the innvention could be exchanged by technical equivalents.
