DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a treatment apparatus utilizing color therapy.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, studies have been conducted on the effects of colors on human health, and attention has gradually been paid to the importance thereof. For example, “blue” in the spectrum causes sedation / relaxation, and “red” stimulates / activates and further excites.

In view of the power of such colors, various considerations have been given to the colors of walls, ceilings, and machines in hospitals, factories, schools, and the like. Therefore, it is considered that the use of color therapy for irradiating a person with light of a predetermined color can improve a patient's health condition and the like. Therefore, the present invention is to provide a treatment device suitable for color therapy.

[0004]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, the treatment device 1
Four standing poles 2, a top plate 3 supported by the poles 2, and a light-blocking curtain 4 hanging from the top plate 3.
And a treatment room 5 that is covered by the top plate 3 and the light-shielding curtain 4 and suppresses external light from entering. The light-blocking curtain 4 hangs downward from a curtain rail fixed to the lower surface of the top plate 3 and blocks light from entering the treatment room 5 from the surface between the poles 2. In addition, the light-shielding curtain 4 may have a hook-and-loop fastener fixed to side edges of the curtain 4 and the top plate 3, and may be hung from the top plate 3 via the hook-and-loop fastener. In addition, as the light-shielding curtain 4, the inside of the treatment room 5 is white. In addition, it is preferable that the lower surface of the top plate 3 and the pole 2 are also white.
This is to make it easier to obtain light of a predetermined color.

The ceiling of the treatment room 5 has a lighting device 10
And a pyramid power output device 20.

As shown in FIG. 2, the lighting device 10 comprises:
A socket 12 is provided on a cover 11 fixed to the top plate 3, and a halogen bulb 13 is screwed into the socket 12. The halogen bulb 13 emits white light. A color filter 14 is provided below the halogen bulb 13. The color filter 14 allows a predetermined color of the white light from the halogen bulb 13 to pass. The color filter 14 is the inner frame 1
The female screw (round screw) 15a formed on the outer frame 16 is screwed to the male screw (round screw) 15a formed on the outer frame 16 so as to be sandwiched between the inner frame 15 and the outer frame 16. Thus, the color filter 14 can be replaced by removing the outer frame 16. It should be noted that small concave portions and convex portions for engagement are provided in the inner frame 15 and the outer frame 16 in place of the screws, and are pushed in and fitted upward by the elasticity of the metal plate while being pulled down by the elasticity of the metal plate. Good.

[0007] A bed is usually placed in the treatment apparatus 1, and a patient lying on the bed is irradiated with light of a predetermined wavelength (color) passing through the color filter 14. For example, treating a person with insomnia wears a blue filter and emits “blue” light, while a person with reduced libido wears a red filter and emits “red” light. I do. Thus, treatment is performed by irradiating light of a color corresponding to the patient.

As shown in FIG. 3, the pyramid power output device 20 has a conical ingot 22 fixed below a quadrangular pyramid-shaped ceiling pyramid 21 via a bracket. The conical ingot 22 may be directly attached to the ceiling pyramid 21 without using a bracket.

In the above embodiment, the filters are provided so as to be exchangeable. However, a plurality of types of filters may be mounted in advance and selectively switched.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The color therapy can be performed by irradiating light of a color corresponding to the patient simply by replacing the filter. In particular, since the treatment room is formed by the pole, the top plate, and the light-blocking curtain, the treatment room is reduced in size, so that the treatment room can be easily installed inside the clinic and the cost is reduced.

In addition, since the external light can be sufficiently shielded by the light-shielding curtain, it is possible to irradiate light with high saturation (monochromatic light), so that an improvement in the therapeutic effect can be expected. .

Further, the use of a halogen bulb capable of increasing the output can further improve the therapeutic effect.
