That is, the vibrating section 3 may be in contact with the living body surface, and the cooling section 2 may cool the vibrating section 3 to cool the living body surface.

  In order to examine whether it is possible to control the synthesis and decomposition of fat in the body of an organism by external stimulus, cold stimulus / vibration stimulus was applied to the posterior thigh of a person by the device 1, and the increase / decrease in subcutaneous fat and circumference was examined .

The test subjects were 15 healthy adult men and women (average age 26.5 ± 8.29 years), and they cooperated after obtaining sufficient explanation and consent of the experiment in advance.
The experiment was divided into a first group to which a cold stimulus and a vibration stimulus were given, a second group to which a warm stimulus and a vibration stimulus were given, and a third group which was a control group as a comparison target. The number of subjects in each group was 5 (3 males and 2 females), and each subject did not perform any experiment other than the designated group experiment.

  FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing the state of the experiment. The subject 6 was seated on a chair 7, the device 1 was placed at the center of the rear surface of the thigh to be tested, and the outer periphery of the thigh was wrapped with a restraining belt 8 to fix the device 1 to the rear surface of the thigh. The restraint belt 8 may be a belt-shaped cloth provided with a surface fastener at one end.

  As the stimulus, in the first group, the surface temperature of the cooling unit 2 was set to 5 ° C., the subject 6 was brought into contact with the center of the posterior thigh surface, and the cold stimulus and the vibration stimulus were simultaneously given. The vibration intensity of the vibrating section 3 was set to 0.7 G in the horizontal direction and 0.41 G in the vertical direction. The frequency of the vibrating section 3 was set to 2400 times / minute.

  In the second group, a hot water bottle having a main body temperature of 40 ° C. was brought into contact with the center of the rear surface of the thigh of the subject 6, and the hot water bottle was further provided with the same vibrating section as in the first group. Then, the outer circumference of the thigh was wrapped with a restraining belt 8 to fix the hot water bottle and the vibrating part to the rear surface of the thigh, and the thermal stimulation and the vibration stimulation were simultaneously given. The vibration intensity and frequency of the vibrating section are set in the same manner as in the first group.

  Figure 3 shows the experimental protocol. Before stimulation, the subject's thigh subcutaneous fat thickness [mm], subcutaneous fat percentage [%], peripheral length [cm], body composition, blood pressure / pulse were measured and then stimulated for 10 minutes, and then the same measurement was performed again. I went. The measurement was performed once a week for a total of 6 weeks. Stimulation was given once for 10 minutes and 3-5 times a week including the measurement day. As shown in FIG. 4, the measurement points of the subcutaneous fat thickness and the subcutaneous fat percentage were measured at three points A, B, and C including 5 cm above and below the midpoint B corresponding to the center of the posterior surface of the thigh.

The state before the start of the experiment was set to 100%, and the increase / decrease rate of subcutaneous fat thickness at the end is shown in FIG. FIG. 5: is a graph which showed the subcutaneous fat thickness increase / decrease rate in order of the 1st group, the 2nd group, and the 3rd group from the left for each measurement point of A, B, and C. In the first group, an increase was shown at all measurement points of A, B, and C. As a result of performing a t-test for comparison with that before the start of the experiment, a significant difference was found (p <0.05).
The second group showed a decrease at point A and a slight increase at points B and C, but no significant difference was observed.

  Next, the state before the start of the experiment is set to 100%, and the perimeter increase / decrease rate at the end is shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a graph showing the perimeter increase / decrease rates in the order of the first group, the second group, and the third group from the left. The first and second groups showed an increase, and the third group showed a decrease. Again, as a result of performing a paired t-test, a significant difference was observed in the subcutaneous fat thickness and the subcutaneous fat rate in the first group (p <0.05). In addition, as a result of Dunnett's test using the third group as a control group, the result that the first group significantly increased compared to the third group was obtained (p <0.01).

  From the results of FIG. 5, it was shown that cold stimulation and vibration stimulation significantly increased subcutaneous fat, and warm stimulation and vibration stimulation had little effect on increase / decrease in subcutaneous fat. Further, from the results of FIG. 6, the first group can significantly increase the peripheral length as compared with the third group subjects, and it can be expected that the cold stimulus and the vibration stimulus also increase subcutaneous fat to the extent that they give a change in appearance.

  According to Example 1, the subcutaneous fat thickness can be partially increased with respect to a desired part of the living body. Further, since the device 1 has a simple structure, the subcutaneous fat thickness can be increased easily and safely at home without going to the clinic or the like.

  Next, an application example of the present invention will be disclosed as a second embodiment. FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram showing a state in which the chest underwear is viewed from the inside. The chest undergarment 9 has a left cup 10L for accommodating the left breast and a right cup 10R for accommodating the right breast.

  The left cup 10L has an upper inner pocket 11L and a lower inner pocket 12L. The upper inner pocket 11L stores the devices 1a and 1b, and the lower inner pocket 12L stores the devices 1c and 1d. The devices 1a to 1d have the same configuration as the device 1 of the first embodiment.

  Similarly, the right cup 10R has an upper inner pocket 11R and a lower inner pocket 12L. The upper inner pocket 11R stores the devices 1a and 1b, and the lower inner pocket 12R stores the devices 1c and 1d. The devices 1a to 1d are preferably bowl-shaped in accordance with the shape of the breast.

  According to the second embodiment, the cold stimulation and the vibration stimulation are simultaneously applied by the devices 1a to 1d to increase the subcutaneous fat of the breast and to obtain a full breast. Since 90% of the breast consists of adipose tissue, an increase in subcutaneous fat according to the present invention can bring about a natural breast enlargement.

  In FIG. 7, the plurality of devices 1a to 1d are arranged so as to cover the entire left and right breasts, but a single bowl-shaped device may be configured to cover the entire breasts. Further, when it is desired to bust up only the upper part of the breast, the devices 1a and 1b may be housed only in the upper inner pockets 11L and 11R, and it is not necessary to house the devices 1c and 1d in the lower inner pockets 12L and 12R. . On the contrary, when it is desired to bust up only the lower part of the breast, the devices 1c and 1d may be stored only in the lower inner pockets 12L and 12R, and the devices 1a and 1b need not be stored in the upper inner pockets 11L and 11R. Absent.

  Further, when it is desired to bust up only the inside of the breast, the device 1b may be housed in the upper inner pockets 11L and 11R, and only the device 1c may be housed in the lower inner pockets 12L and 12R. On the contrary, when it is desired to bust up only the outside of the breast, only the devices 1a and 1d need to be stored. Of course, the devices 1a to 1d can be appropriately selected and stored only in the right or left pockets.

  FIG. 8 is a conceptual view of the chest undergarment 9 of the present embodiment worn from the outside. In this embodiment, since the devices 1a to 1d are stored inside the chest undergarment 9, they are not visible from the outside and the underwear design is not destroyed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the storage pocket is provided inside the chest underwear 9, but the storage pocket may be provided outside the underwear.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is applicable to a chest undergarment that is made of a bowl-shaped flexible cup made of a silicone material or the like and is attached so as to be adsorbed to the breast. In that case, a material having a cold-retaining property is used for the cup, which is cooled and mounted in a refrigerator or the like before use, and the vibrating part 3 which is detachable from the outside is installed.

  Recently, breast incision has been performed in which an armpit is incised and a silicon bag or the like is inserted from there to form a full breast. However, since an artificial foreign substance is inserted into the body, there is a risk that calcification may occur or the silicon bag may be damaged and cause inflammation. On the other hand, according to the present invention, it is possible to safely and easily perform bust-up at home without having to go to the clinic for surgery.

  The present invention can also be applied to livestock such as cows and pigs. FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram showing a state in which the device 1 is attached to the cow 14. In the example of FIG. 9, in order to allow the cow 14 which is a domestic animal to move freely, a restraint 13 is attached to the cow 14 instead of the restraint belt 8 of the first embodiment.

  In FIG. 9, the device 1 is arranged on the abdomen of the cow 14 and is fixed by the restraint 13. The device 1 may be arranged in a portion where fat is desired to be increased, and is not limited to the abdomen.

  By applying the present invention to livestock, it is possible to raise livestock having sufficient fat stored therein.
