るものである。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention comprises a core material having a large number of irregularities and sheep skin, and when used as a mattress, provides an acupressure effect and a body pressure dispersing effect. The present invention relates to a spine correction mat which can be used.

のがある。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various mattresses have been proposed in which the effect of acupressure and the effect of dispersing body pressure are stated. As such a mattress, there is, for example, a structure in which an uneven surface is formed on a surface of a core material made of foamed urethane or the like and the core material is covered with a cloth.

のには適していない。In the conventional mattress described above, when designing the uneven surface of the core material, attention was paid only to the shape, and the influence of the compression hardness of the core material of the mattress on the human body, etc. Since the material such as foamed urethane used as the core material is not sufficiently soft to obtain a sufficient acupressure effect, the effect of stimulating the acupoint of the human body and dispersing the body pressure becomes insufficient. Furthermore, the material such as soft foamed urethane used as a core material in the above-mentioned mattress of the conventional example, when used continuously, has a life of about three months, and the desired acupressure effect cannot be obtained. Therefore, the above-mentioned mattress of the conventional example is not suitable for use in spinal treatment.

If it is less than 25 mm, it will not be possible to form an uneven portion described later by molding or the like.
Exceeding the above range results in a thickness that is not practically necessary when used as a mattress, resulting in an increase in cost. As the core material 1, a material having a value within the above range (for example, foamed polyethylene sold under the trade name “Eperan”) is used. As shown in FIG. 1B, two connecting portions 1a for folding and storing the core material 1 are formed in the thickness direction.

In recent years, the number of people suffering from indefinite complaints such as chronic illness, functional illness, endogenous illness, and nervous illness caused by changes in living environment and the like has been increasing. These diseases are often caused when abnormalities such as displacement of bones occur in the spine constituting the spinal column. These diseases are rarely cured by Western medical coping therapy, but the natural healing that the human body possesses when born after spinal orthodontic treatment, a type of Oriental medical technique, is continuously performed. Since the power can be restored, a remarkable healing effect as described in detail below can be obtained.

（ａ），（ｂ）に示す状態にした。The present inventor has confirmed the above-mentioned remarkable healing effect by the following clinical experiment. First, the following spine correction mat 10 was manufactured. The core material 1 is made of foamed polyethylene sold under the trade name "Eperan" and has a compression hardness of 1.35 kg at 25% compression at room temperature.
f / cm 2 and the thickness (the protrusions 11 on the surface of the core material in FIG.
From the vertex of the core material to the vertex of the curved portion on the back surface of the core material is 55
mm and a size of 660 × 968 mm were used. The surface of the core material 1 has a curvature R = 9 mm and a height (FIG. 2).
From the intersection of the convex portion 11 and the concave portion 12 in FIG.
Alternatively, a large number of convex portions 11 and concave portions 12 having a distance to the top of the concave portion 12 of about 10 mm were formed regularly. This core material 1 has a skin thickness of 0.8 mm, a hair length of 25 mm,
The hair diameter is 25 μm and the hair density is 2800 hairs / cm 2
1 is inserted through an opening of the side cloth 3 into a cover composed of a sheep skin 2 of a predetermined thickness and a side cloth 3 and a back cloth 4 having a predetermined thickness, and the fastener 3a of the side cloth 3 is closed.
The state shown in FIGS.

A pressure sensor was installed. Then, a subject (for example, 30 men and women weighing 50 to 65 kg) was laid on the bed to measure body pressure dispersion. As a result, FIG.
The body pressure dispersion characteristics as shown in FIG. According to the body pressure dispersion characteristics, the outermost isobaric line is 0.7 kgf / cm.

It can be seen that a pressure distribution state substantially similar to the pressure distribution characteristic at the time of acupressure is realized. However, as compared with the case of the finger pressure in which the pressure dispersion range is about 3 to 5 kgf / cm 2 , the pressure dispersion range of the mat for spinal column correction of the present embodiment is lower (the range of 0.7 to 1.6 kgf / cm 2 ). ), So you will not hurt your back when you sleep with your back.

The acupressure effect and the body pressure dispersing effect are achieved by a core material 1 having a number of irregularities arranged at regular intervals and having a compression hardness and thickness suitable for a mat core material and a sheep skin 2 bonded to the surface thereof. Because of this configuration, the life expectancy of the mat for spinal column correction according to the present embodiment is much longer than the life expectancy of the sheep skin, for example, as compared with the conventional example using the core material made of the urethane foam or the like described above. (About 8 years).

それが健康障害へ発展することが予防される。[0027] The above problem can be overcome by placing a patient complaining of cervical spondylosis due to stiff shoulders, low back pain, a traffic accident or other complaints on the mat for spinal column correction of the present embodiment in a supine position and sleeping. That is, when the patient lies on the mat for spinal correction of the present embodiment while lying on his / her back, the stress generated by the convex portion 11 provided on the surface of the core material 1 and acting on the spine and the like is a three-dimensional force, 4 includes components in the X direction (horizontal direction of the human body), the Y direction (front-back direction of the human body), and the Z direction (vertical direction of the human body).
It is distributed in each of the Y and Z directions to give a continuous and good acupressure effect. In addition, when a body behavior such as turning over occurs during sleep, a rotational force component around the X, Y, and Z axes is generated. This rotational force component relieves tension in the spinal cord and nerves, so that even if there is a temporary malfunction in the living body, it is prevented from developing into a health disorder.
