1672 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.

Supporting structure for a chair

InactiveUS20080122284A1Preventing muscle sorenessComfortable seatStoolsChairsButtocksEngineering
A supporting structure for a chair, the supporting structure is a seat, a back support or a headrest. A nylon mesh is fixed on the annular upper surface of an inwardly projecting flange of the frame, and then the plastic-injection-molded engaging layer is integrally formed on the exterior surface of the frame, enabling the mesh to be firmly fixed on the frame. The elasticity of the mesh provides a comfortable and adequate support for the user's buttocks, back and head, providing comfortable seating and preventing muscle soreness. Further, the heat caused by the user's body can be vented off via the apertures of the mesh, so that the user will feel cool when sitting on or leaning against the supporting structure.

Circularly knit undergarment having knit-in support panels and derriere cup fullness

This invention discloses circularly knit undergarments, said under garments having an anterior tummy region, a posterior stretching from the waist to the gluteal region, and two outer-regions corresponding to the outer thigh region, each of said regions includes knit-in support panels to minimize appearance of undesirable bulges. The posterior region further includes a plurality of derriere cups to slim and shape the lower half of the body to a younger tone and to provide a natural appearance to the derriere, hips and tummy. In a preferred embodiment the body of the undergarment is made with material that is seamlessly woven, for example, light weight micro fiber nylon or LYCRA spandex, and includes a gusset that is made of cotton and micro fiber nylon to prevent moisture build up between the legs. The under garments are finished in ribbing located at their terminal ends. In addition to providing an overall slimming and reshaping of the lower body part, the unique knitting technique and the derriere cups in the posterior of the under garment provide the wearer comfort, a rounder natural look to the buttocks, and a psychological boost.

A buttocks seat is supported by a post tiltably affixed at a lower end to an upper face of a base. The post is also axially rotatable relative to the base, and threadably engaged with an underside of the seat for supporting the seat on the post, the seat squarely facing upright when the post is vertical. A hand wheel is affixed to the post for rotating the post relative to the seat and the base for selectively raising or lowering the seat relative to the base. A resilient bias urges the post to be vertical unless a seated user flexes his or her lumbar with sufficient force to overcome the bias. Preferably the post is tiltable over a conical range and the bias comprises a resiliently compressible, cylindrical ring coaxial with the post, and extending between and abutting the base and the underside of the seat.

Efficiently manufacturable absorbent disposable undergarment and method of manufacturing absorbent disposable article

A disposable absorbent article, e.g., a protective undergarment, and methods of manufacturing such articles. The undergarment is in the form of a chassis having front waist portion, a belly portion, a rear waist portion, a rear back portion, a crotch portion, and a pair of leg openings disposed on opposite sides of the crotch portion. Each of the leg openings has a high-cut concave edge portion at the front section, and a convex edge portion at the rear section. The concave edge portion of each leg opening is of complementary shape to the convex edge portion of that leg opening, so that the undergarment covers a substantial portion of the wearer's leg beneath the buttocks, while a substantial portion of the wearer's leg where the leg meets the torso is exposed.

Sanitary napkin with compressed grooves

A sanitary napkin in which diffusing liquid hardly reaches a rear end edge is adapted to make a liquid absorbent layer less deformable in a rear region so that it can easily be kept in close contact with the wearer's buttocks. The sanitary napkin has an elongated main absorbent region surrounded by compressed grooves that are formed in a skin-side surface. Since a rear end of the main absorbent region is far away from a rear end edge of the napkin to provide a relatively large rear region, worries about rearward leakage may be relieved. Furthermore, since auxiliary longitudinal grooves are provided in the rear region, a liquid absorbent layer may hardly be twisted.

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).

Contoured seat cushion and method for offloading pressure from skeletal bone prominences and encouraging proper postural alignment

A support contour of a cushion, such as a wheelchair cushion, defines relief areas at locations adjacent to skin covering the ischial tuberosities, the greater trochanters and the coccyx and sacrum of a person sitting on the support contour. Support areas of the support contour transfer force into the pelvic area adjacent to skin covering tissue masses on opposite lateral sides of the posterior buttocks and beneath the proximal thighs of the person. Greater clearance is also provided in the perineal area. Risks of pressure ulcers from pressure and shear forces on bony prominences is reduced while providing support at the broader areas without bony prominences in such a manner to encourage postural alignment. The risks of skin breakdown perineal are diminished.
