Abstract:
This invention relates to a posture support ( 1 ) comprising a wedge-shaped body ( 3,51,131 ) constructed from a resiliently deformable material and means to releasably secure the wedge-shaped body to a backpack ( 151 ). The invention further relates to a backpack ( 151 ) in combination with the detachable posture support ( 1 ). The posture support ( 1 ) according to the invention may be quickly attached or detached from a backpack ( 151 ). In this way, when the posture support ( 1 ) is mounted on the backpack ( 151 ), the posture support ( 1 ) can alleviate the pressure on the spine and intervertebral discs caused by carrying the heavy backpack ( 1 ). When the posture support ( 1 ) if taken off the backpack ( 151 ), the posture support ( 1 ) may be used as a sitting posture support to alleviate the pressure on the spine caused by sitting on a flat surface. The posture support ( 1 ) is relatively inexpensive and can be produced at a fraction of the cost of many other posture supports.

Claim (Index 22):
A dual-function posture correction support operable to decrease stress on the spine and intervertebral discs and transfer a load to the core foundation muscle groups of the lower back and upper legs, and operable interchangeably as a sitting posture support and a standing posture support, the dual-function posture correction support comprising a wedge-shaped body having a wedge angle of between 8\u00b0 and 12\u00b0 constructed from a resiliently deformable material that when in use as a sitting posture correction support is placed beneath the user's posterior between the user's posterior and a support surface with the thin end of the wedge-shaped body proximal to the user's knee and the thick end of the wedge-shaped body distal from the user's knee thereby promoting an upright sitting posture of the user, the dual-function posture correction support further comprising a releasable fastener to releasably secure the wedge-shaped body to the lumbar-engaging area of a backpack in a position intermediate the backpack and the user's back so that when in use as a standing posture correction support, the wedge-shaped body is located between the user's back and the backpack with the thick end of the wedge located adjacent the lower back of the user and the thin end of the wedge facing upwardly towards the user's upper back, thereby promoting a more upright stance of the user.
