Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a conventional magnetic therapy apparatus which has a therapeutic effect on various symptoms such as stiff shoulders, lower back pain and neuralgia by utilizing the action of magnetic field lines. The present invention relates to a magnetic treatment sheet which is in the form of a sheet having flexibility.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A magnet is attached to each part of a human body for the purpose of alleviating various symptoms such as shoulder stiffness, back pain, and muscle fatigue by the action of magnetic lines of force radiated from a magnet.
Various types of magnetic therapy devices attached to or embedded in clothing and bedding have been developed and marketed.

FIG. 6 shows an example of a conventional magnetic therapy apparatus in which a Ba ferrite magnet 4 is attached to an adhesive tape 3. These are used by people of various ages because of simple usage and a certain therapeutic effect.

[0004]

Most of the generally used magnetic therapy machines are of a type in which a permanent magnet having a diameter of 5 mm and a thickness of about 2.5 mm is attached to an affected part with an adhesive tape. The permanent magnet used for this purpose has a relatively high magnetic flux density of 80 mT or more, but because of its small size, the lines of magnetic force do not penetrate sufficiently, and it is difficult to effectively treat acupoints on the human body. In addition, since only the action of the magnetic field lines was used, a sufficient therapeutic effect could not be obtained.

[0005] In addition, since it is pasted with an adhesive tape,
There was a possibility that the magnet could be easily removed and the baby could put it in his mouth. Also, if you use it for a long time,
Rarely, itching and rash on the skin was caused by the adhesive tape, and pain was felt by the protrusion of the magnet.

[0006] Further, plasters and compresses used for treatment of symptoms such as muscle pain and arthralgia have only been applied to the human body, and newly developed active ingredients have been added. , There is no significant improvement in the effect. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic treatment sheet capable of exhibiting a wide range of therapeutic effects not limited to the action of the conventional lines of magnetic force in view of the above problems.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems Tourmaline is one of the naturally occurring minerals, and has attracted attention because of its wide variety of uses. This is also called tourmaline, a mineral made of cyclic silicate, which has a permanent electrode derived from its crystal structure, emits magnetic lines of force and far-infrared rays, and is charged and exerts various effects on its surroundings. It has been known.

One of its functions is to generate negative ions in the surroundings by electric discharge, and the effects include promotion of intracellular metabolism, antibacterial, eradication, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, calming, allergic effects, and allergy. It is said to have effects such as suppressing atopy and atopy. These effects are also used in cosmetics and the like.

Further, since it emits far-infrared rays as described above, it can be expected that, by wearing it on the body, it will be possible to warm the worn part to promote blood circulation and activate metabolism. This effect can also be used to suppress symptoms such as coldness. Therefore, the effect of the conventional magnetic therapy device can be improved by using tourmaline in combination.

[0010] That is, the present invention is a magnetic treatment sheet characterized by molding a mixture comprising tourmaline powder, magnetic powder and a binder.

The present invention also provides a magnetic treatment sheet according to the above, wherein the content of the tourmaline powder is 5 to 95% by weight and the content of the magnetic powder is 5 to 95% by weight. And a magnetic treatment sheet characterized by being magnetized.

Further, the present invention is a magnetic treatment sheet characterized in that the magnetic treatment sheet is provided with an adhesive function, and the adhesive function applies an adhesive or a compress to the magnetic treatment sheet. It is a magnetic treatment sheet characterized by being provided by the following.

[0013]

The magnetic treatment sheet according to the present invention is rich in flexibility and easy to cut, so that it can be cut into a required shape and used by attaching it to a necessary part of the human body. By mounting the acupuncture points of the human body and their peripheral portions so as to cover them, it is possible to efficiently use the action of the magnetic force lines by the magnetic powder, the action of heating the far infrared rays by the tourmaline, and the action of generating negative ions.

The magnetic treatment sheet of the present invention can be attached to clothing by utilizing the action of magnetic lines of force, far infrared rays and negative ions. As a specific example of such usage, there is a method of attaching to a shoulder pad or a corset.

[0015] In addition to suppressing the fatigue of the foot by using the insole for shoes, it is also possible to suppress the odor by its antibacterial action. That is, the action of the magnetic therapy sheet of the present invention is as follows.
It promotes blood circulation, suppresses and eliminates fatigue, improves cooling by heating, and deodorizes by antibacterial action.

Further, in addition to the above-mentioned usages, the flexible sheet comprising tourmaline and a binder of the present invention uses its electrical properties and the action of generating negative ions to shield and suppress electromagnetic waves, and to prevent air and air. It can also be used for water purification.

Here, the tourmaline powder, the magnetic powder and the binder used in the present invention will be described. Examples of the magnetic powder that can be used in the present invention include various types of permanent magnet powder, and Ba ferrite, Sr ferrite, and the like can be used. In particular, when a high magnetic flux density is required, Sm-C
Rare earth magnets such as o-based, Nd-Fe-B-based, and Sm-Fe-N-based magnets are desirable.

The mixing ratio between the tourmaline powder and the magnetic powder can be arbitrarily set in the range of 5 to 95% by weight, respectively. When the mixing ratio of the powder is increased and the relaxation effect, the effect on the skin, the effect on the coldness, etc. are emphasized, the mixing ratio of the tourmaline powder may be increased.

The reason why the mixing ratio is limited to 5 to 95% by weight is that if the mixing amount is too small, the effect cannot be expected.
If the mixing amount is too large, the amount of the binder becomes relatively insufficient, and the shape retention of the sheet is reduced. If the amount is excessive, the sheet is collapsed.

The tourmaline powder may be black or light red depending on its composition.
Black tourmaline powder is preferred. As the binder, those having an adhesive function and flexibility are preferable, and examples thereof include various elastomers, low-density polyethylene, polyurethane, soft vinyl chloride compound, polyvinyl acetate, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.

The method for forming a sheet comprising tourmaline, magnetic powder and a binder is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include rolling using a roll and a press, and extrusion. At that time, when the sheet thickness is applied to the human body, if it is too thick, discomfort will be noticeable, and depending on the part where it is applied, the movement of the body will be affected, and if it is too thin, the effects of tourmaline and magnetic powder can not be fully exhibited. It is. A preferred range of the thickness is 0.5 to 1.5 mm.

[0022]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings and tables.

First, a black tourmaline mass was pulverized using a disk mill and a ball mill to obtain a powder having an average particle size of 3 μm. As magnetic powder, calcined powder of Ba ferrite having an average grain size of 3 μm was prepared. In addition, chlorinated polyethylene and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer were prepared as binders.

Next, the tourmaline powder, the magnetic powder, and the binder are weighed in a required ratio and kneaded with a pressure kneader for 10 minutes, and an admixture A comprising tourmaline powder, a magnetic powder, and chlorinated polyethylene, a tourmaline powder, An admixture B comprising a magnetic powder and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer was obtained. Table 1
Shows the weight ratio of tourmaline powder, magnetic powder and binder.

These admixtures are prepared by using a biaxial roll.
A magnetic treatment sheet A made of the mixture A and a magnetic treatment sheet B made of the mixture B having a thickness of 1.0 mm.

First, the magnetic treatment sheet A is 100 m wide.
m, the height was 75 mm, and the corner portion was cut into a circular arc-shaped rectangle. The sheet was coated with a poultice having an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect to impart tackiness. FIG. 1 shows the outline thereof. In FIG. 1B, reference numeral 1 denotes a magnetic treatment sheet, and reference numeral 2 denotes a compress. This may be magnetized in two poles so that, for example, the front has an S pole and the back has an N pole.
Since the ferrite powder is uniformly dispersed, it is possible to form a magnetized pattern.

FIGS. 2 and 3 are diagrams showing examples of forming a magnetized pattern. In FIG. 2, a stripe-shaped magnetization pattern is formed, and in FIG. 3, a concentric magnetization pattern is formed. This magnetization pattern is appropriately selected depending on the purpose of use. However, forming the magnetization patterns as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 allows the lines of magnetic force to act more efficiently than the two-pole magnetization on the front and back sides. It is possible.

When this magnetic treatment sheet was affixed to the affected part of the subject who was conscious of the stiffness of the shoulder, due to its flexibility, the sheet could be attached in a state of being in close contact with the shoulder and covering the entire acupoint. Was. For this reason, a good therapeutic effect is obtained,
Due to the action of negative ions generated by tourmaline, it could be used comfortably without adversely affecting the skin.

Next, the magnetic treatment sheet B was cut into an eye mask shape and mounted inside the eye mask. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an outline of the shape. In this case, ventilation holes having a diameter of about 1 mm may be provided at intervals of 10 to 20 mm in order to secure air permeability. As a result of sleeping with this eye mask attached, the action by the magnetic lines of force caused by the magnetic powder,
A relaxing effect and a good sleep effect, which are understood to be due to the action of the negative ions caused by tourmaline, were obtained.

Next, the magnetic treatment sheet B was punched into a sole shape and used as a shoe insole. FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically showing the shape. As a result of using this insole, the effect of suppressing fatigue due to the lines of magnetic force and far-infrared rays and the deodorizing effect understood by the action of negative ions were recognized. Further, it is considered that the impact absorbing effect at the time of walking due to the use of a soft and flexible material for the binder also contributes to the suppression of fatigue.

[0032]

As described above, the magnetic treatment sheet containing tourmaline according to the present invention has magnetic field lines, far infrared rays,
Since the sheet has the effect of negative ions and the sheet has flexibility and is easy to cut, the sheet can be used as an arbitrary shape so as to cover a certain area.
