Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide potential therapeutic equipment by which a patient does not feel irritation under any case. SOLUTION: At the entrances of respective insertion holes 2 and 3, opening/ closing lids 12 and 13 having a structure wherein the lids alternately open one by one are provided. Therefore, both of a local pen 5 and an electricity-applying sheet 6 are mechanically prevented from being inserted in respective holes 2 and 3. For example, while the electricity-applying sheet 6 is used, the plug 7 of the local pen 5 is prevented from being inserted in the insertion hole 2, and user is prevented from receiving an irritation by mistake.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a potential therapy device for performing therapy using a voltage output to a local pen and a current-carrying sheet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Two insertion holes having terminals therein are formed in a treatment main body of a potential therapy device, and either a local pen or a current-carrying sheet is inserted and used. The local pen has a metal roller near the tip, and can apply intensive treatment by applying the metal roller to a part of a treatment target such as a shoulder or a waist. Since the current-carrying sheet has a large area, a user can ride on it to perform treatment on the entire body. When these local pens and energizing sheets are used at the same time, the potential may rise too much and unpleasant stimulus may be felt. When only one terminal is selected and a treatment start operation button is pressed, a voltage is output only to the selected one.

[0003]

However, in such a conventional technique, in order to avoid the simultaneous use of a local pen and a current-carrying sheet, a switch provided on the operation / treatment device main body is used to electrically connect the local pen and the current-carrying sheet. Although only one of the terminals is selected, since the appearance of the insertion hole does not change at all, for example, the plug of the local pen is inserted into the insertion hole while the energizing sheet is in use. Can do it. While using the energizing sheet, just connect the local pen in this way,
When the tip of the local pen is applied to the body, even if no voltage is output to the local pen side, the user's body is sufficiently high due to the voltage from the energizing sheet. You may feel some irritation.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to such a conventional technique, and an object of the present invention is to provide a potential therapeutic device which does not cause unpleasant stimulation in any case.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention,
Two insertion holes each having a terminal therein are formed in the treatment device main body, a corresponding local pen and a plug of an energizing sheet are inserted into the respective insertion holes, and the plug and the terminal are connected to each other. And a potential treatment device capable of outputting a voltage to the current-carrying sheet, wherein opening and closing lids are respectively provided at the entrances of the respective insertion holes, and the opening and closing lids are alternately opened one by one.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the opening / closing lid having a structure that opens alternately one by one is provided at the entrance of each insertion hole, both the local pen and the conductive sheet can be inserted into each insertion hole. It is itself mechanically prevented. Therefore, for example, the plug of the local pen cannot be inserted into the insertion hole during use of the energizing sheet, so that the user is not accidentally subjected to unpleasant stimulation.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, at the entrance of each insertion hole, an opening / closing lid which has a hinge on the wall side facing each other and forms a part of the wall when closed is rotatably provided, In addition, one open / close lid in the open state and the other open / close lid in the closed state are connected via a link.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the opening / closing lid is closed, a part of the wall of the insertion hole is formed, which is advantageous in terms of space. In addition, since both the open / close lids are connected by the link, the structure that opens alternately is assured.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. Reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 indicates a treatment device main body of the electric potential treatment device, and two insertion holes 2 and 3 are formed on a front surface of the treatment device main body so as to be horizontally adjacent to each other. Terminals 4 are provided inside the insertion holes 2 and 3.

Plugs 7 and 8 of a local pen 5 and a conductive sheet 6 can be inserted into the two insertion holes 2 and 3 respectively, and are electrically connected to the terminals 4 inside the insertion holes 2 and 3. It is supposed to connect. The local pen 5 has a metal roller 9 near the tip, and can apply intensive treatment by applying the metal roller 9 to a part of a treatment target such as a shoulder or a waist. The current-carrying sheet 6 has a large area, so that the user can ride on it to apply treatment to the entire body.

At the entrances of the insertion holes 2 and 3, a part of the walls 10 and 11 facing each other is cut away, and open / close lids 12 and 13 are provided therein. The opening / closing lids 12 and 13 are rotatable around hinges H located on the walls 10 and 11 side, form any part of the walls 10 and 11 when closed, and insert holes 2 and 3 when opened. Close one of the entrances. The two lids 12 and 13 are connected by a link 14 with one closed and the other open. Therefore, the open / close lids 12 and 13 can be opened only one by one alternately, and both cannot be opened. The two opening / closing lids 12 and 13 are operated by an actuator linked to a switch for selecting an output mode, and open the insertion holes 2 and 3 on the selected side. In addition, you may make it move manually. These opening / closing lids 12 and 13
Since they are connected by the link 14, the structure that opens alternately is ensured, and when the opening / closing lids 12 and 13 are closed, the insertion holes 2 and
Since a part of the third walls 10 and 11 is formed, it is advantageous in terms of space.

With the above-described structure, the insertion of both the local pen 5 and the conductive sheet 6 into the insertion holes 2 and 3 is mechanically prevented. Therefore, for example, the energizing sheet 6
During use of the device, the plug 7 of the local pen 5 cannot be inserted into the insertion hole 2, so that the user does not accidentally receive an unpleasant stimulus.

[0013]

According to the present invention, the insertion of both the local pen and the current-carrying sheet into each of the insertion holes is mechanically prevented, so that the user is uncomfortable in any case. I do not feel.
