Description:
POSTURE CONTROL DEVICE The subject matter of the invention is the beep-identifier of the wrong body position which is used for the personal control of the human posture and is designed to create the habit of the correct body position.

From the British Patent Specification no. 2,211, 429 it is known the device used while walking, which enables to keep the horizontal position at the initial phase of walking. The device consists of the support construction which has the pair of side stoppers, a cross-bar and rings wherein the rings are fastened on frames. The device is complicated and it is difficult to operate and assigned for young childeren.

It is known from the Polish Utility Model Specification no. 52, 564 the training device which is in the form of a ladder and its upper arm is joined to the top of the ladder at the right angle.

There are known posture correctors, particularly used for children in the form of webbings having two belts crossed at the back and linked at the shoulders. The wrong body position which could be observed as a back convexity causes the mechanical belt part pressing and the disadvantageous belt pressing on the back of the body. When the correct body position is achieved the belt pressing stops. Using the correctors permanently causes the user to disregard the uncomfortable belt pressing.

The aim of the invention is to provide the construction of the beep-identifier of the wrong body position which enables the permanent using without known drawbacks. The identifier also transmits a signal to the user who gets the wrong body position.

The beep-identifier of the wrong body position, according to the invention having the body with fastening elements in a form of belts, tapes or braces is chraracterised by that it has the contactor for the electric current inside the body and it has one contacting element placed on the side surface of the immovable part of the body. It also has the second contacting element placed on the side surface of the immovable part of the body. The parts include the slide outer sufraces and inside have the linking elestic elements preferably springs. The immovable part of the body or the movable part of the body has the source of the electric current and beep-identifing or vibrating or signalizing by an electric impuls element.

The beep-identifier according to the invention preferably enables its parmanent use particularly for children while working, relaxing or playing games. It also enables easy movement and recording of the signals which is attractive for children as it creates a kind of a game. The beep- identifier stabilizes the correct body posture by permanent easy use.
