1662 results about "Buttocks" patented technology

The buttocks (singular: buttock) are two rounded portions of the anatomy, located on the posterior of the pelvic region of primates (including humans), and many other bipeds or quadrupeds, and comprise a layer of fat superimposed on the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius muscles. The two gluteus maximus muscles stabilise the hip joint and are the largest muscles in the entire human body; responsible for propelling the entire body forward when running and walking, ensuring the proper functioning of the entire leg. Physiologically, the buttocks enable weight to be taken off the feet while sitting. In many cultures, they play a role in sexual attraction. Some cultures, such as that of Victorian England, have also used the buttocks as a primary target for corporal punishment, as the buttocks' layer of subcutaneous fat offers protection against injury while still allowing for the infliction of pain. There are several connotations of buttocks in art, fashion, culture and humor, and the English language is replete with many popular synonyms that range from polite colloquialisms ("posterior", "backside" or "bottom") to vulgar slang ("arse," "ass," "bum," "butt," "booty," "prat"). In humans the buttocks are located between the lower back and the perineum.

System, garment and method

ActiveUS20110015498A1Level of customizationSame compressionPerson identificationSensorsButtocksExternal pressure
The present invention relates to a system and garment that incorporates sensors that can be used for measuring or monitoring pressure or forces in feet, the stumps of limbs of an amputee that are fitted with prosthetic devices, or any other parts of the body that are subject to forces such as the buttock while seated or when external pressure inducing devices are employed, such as for example, pressure bandages. The invention also relates to a method to monitor or diagnose any foot or limb related activity for recreational, sporting, military or medical reasons and is particularly aimed at the treatment of neuropathic or other degenerating conditions.

Bicycle saddle

The finding regards a bicycle saddle of the type which has two identical portions (1′, 1″), longitudinally symmetrical. Each of these two portions has a rear part (2), a part (5) of transversal middle plane as well as a front part (6). The two portions (1′ and 1″) of the saddle are separated, at their intermediate parts (5) and front parts (6), by a channel (8). Thanks to this particular configuration the user arranges his buttocks very comfortably on the rear part of the saddle and avoids the squashing of his pelvic viscera. The saddle according to the finding is suitable both for those who use a bicycle for short journeys and for users who use a bicycle for long journeys like, for example, cycling-lovers and amateur and professional sports people).

Reinforced undergarment

A reinforced undergarment at least including underpants and, in certain embodiments, a pair of hose or stockings permanently or removably secured to the underpants so as to define a pair of pantyhose, wherein the undergarment, and particularly the underpants are formed from a flexible material including a plurality of interconnected portions disposed and configured to overly predetermined areas of the wearer's body so as to exert a supporting and / or retaining force thereon and thereby shape the wearer's body, or at least certain portions thereof, into a desired configuration. The interconnected portions of the undergarment are at least partially formed from an elastic material of varying densities such that different support and / or retaining force are exerted on predetermined portions of the wearer's body. The underpants include at least a first support portion and a second support portion, wherein the first support portion is disposed beneath the buttocks of the wearer and has a sufficient density to exert an uplifting force thereon. The second support portion includes a reinforced panel of predetermined density disposed in overlying, retaining relation to the wearer's abdomen so as to exert an inwardly directed, retaining force thereon. The various embodiments of the undergarment may include additional support portions disposed in overlying, retaining relation to other predetermined portions of the wearer's body.

Contoured Seat And Method

InactiveUS20070057562A1Reduce pressureIncrease lordosisStoolsChairsButtocksCoccyx
A contoured seat generally includes a seat surface for supporting the thighs and buttocks of a sitter and a back surface for supporting the lower back of a sitter. Defined by the seat surface are a pair of bilateral, spaced protrusions that are positioned to extend into piriformis musculature of the sitter. Preferably, the seat surface is inclined at a 5° to 15°, and more preferably a 7.5°, angle to induce forward pelvic tilt in conjunction with lower lumbar support of a forward angle of the back surface. The seat and back surfaces may define a sacral-coccyx pocket that has a depth that varies, along its proximal-distal path to allow for sacral stabilization. The sacral-coccyx pocket preferably is relatively narrow and deep proximally and flares as it extends in the distal direction. A reinforcing ridge may extend across a top edge of the sacral-coccyx pocket to provide additional support.

Saddle

A saddle for pedal-powered devices, especially bicycles, with two spaced apart seat halves (1), each of which supports one half of the buttocks, and with a cup joint arrangement on its bottom. The cup joint arrangement (5) has an essentially hollow spherical socket (6) and a cup element (7) which can be moved in it. A support rod (11) has two supports (10), each of which is attached to a respective cup element (7), for connecting the saddle to a saddle support (13) by the support rod (11). The cup joint arrangements (5) each have a device for limiting the range of motion of the cup element (7) in the socket (6). The cup joint axes, around which the cup elements (7) can be moved in their respective socket (6), are each outwardly inclined. Thus, a solid seat on the saddle and ergonomic pedaling are enabled.
