BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiment 1. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an eye mask that is Embodiment 1 of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a positional relationship between a crystal and an eyeball of the eye mask shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example in which the user wears the eye mask shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the shape of the crystal of the eye mask shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the shape of the crystal of the eye mask shown in FIG. 6 and 6 are views showing the effect of the eye mask shown in FIG.

In the drawings, 1 is an eye mask, 1a is a lining of the eye mask 1, 1b is a surface of the eye mask 1, and 2 is a rubber band for holding the eye mask 1 by the head when the user wears it. Numeral 3 is a pocket formed at each of two positions so as to be located on the eyeball of the lining 1a, and is made of, for example, a thin cloth (nylon) sewn on the lining 1a.

In order to open and close each of the pockets 3, 4 is a hook-and-loop fastener which is arranged on the upper part of each pocket 3 and on the lining 1a corresponding to the position thereof. It is a crystal. Crystal 5
Since it can be put in and taken out, when it becomes dirty, the crystal 5 can be taken out and washed, and it is possible to always keep it clean.

FIG. 2 shows the positional relationship between the eyeball and the crystal when the crystal 5 is stored in each pocket 3 as described above. As is clear from FIG. 2, the crystal 5 is arranged at a position covering the eyeball of the user. FIG. 3 shows a case where the user wears the eye mask 1. By mounting a general eye mask as shown in the figure, it is possible to surely obtain an appropriate positional relationship between the crystal and the eyeball as shown in FIG.

Here, the size of the crystal 5 will be specifically described. Various sizes of the crystal 5 are conceivable, and the effect can be obtained even if the crystal 5 is formed in any shape as long as it is formed so as to cover part or all of the eyeball. However, it goes without saying that the effect of covering the entire eyeball is greater than the effect of covering only a part of the eyeball.

However, it is not appropriate to form the crystal larger than necessary in terms of cost and discomfort during mounting. Therefore, the inventors of the present application and various users have confirmed the size of the crystal capable of producing the maximum effect.

As shown in FIG. 4, the crystal 5 was formed in an elliptical plate shape with a length A of 3 cm to 4 cm, a width B of 4 cm to 5 cm, and a thickness C of 3 mm to 5 mm. It has been confirmed that if formed in this size, it is formed so as to cover the entire eyeballs of most users. Also, FIG.
FIG. 4B is a view showing a cross section taken along the line (b)-(b) of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4B, an example in which the crystal 5 is formed in the shape of a flat elliptical plate is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and another example is shown in FIG. The figure corresponding to is shown.

As shown in FIG. 5, the crystal 5 may be formed in a convex shape on the side opposite to the eyeball. If formed in this way, the surface of the crystal 5 generally has a shape that smoothly follows the upper portion when the user closes his eyes, and the crystal 5 hardly causes any discomfort.

Next, the effect of the eye mask 1 equipped with the crystal 5 will be described. Quartz has the property of continuously releasing negative ions. And a lot of negative ions are absorbed from the pot of the body and a weak current is generated,
Activate the cells. In addition, it is considered that the weak current gives a slight stimulus to the eyeball, promotes metabolism, and promotes blood circulation. From these facts, when the user wears this eye mask 1, the user can obtain the effects of eye strain recovery and visual acuity recovery.

In order to show the effect of visual acuity recovery, the difference in visual acuity before and after using the eye mask 1 of the present invention was measured. As a use condition, the eye mask 1 is worn at bedtime. Do this for about a month. When used under such usage conditions, as shown in FIG. 6, it was confirmed that the visual acuity was restored to all users. The age of the user who uses the eye mask 1 is in his 50s.

In addition, it was confirmed that the cataract was improved by the use for about 6 months in a certain user.

According to the eye mask of the first embodiment configured as described above, it is possible to easily apply the crystal onto the eyeball, and the eye mask of the user can be easily obtained by using this eye mask. It is possible to recover asthenopia and eyesight.

Embodiment 2. In the first embodiment, an example in which the crystal is formed in the shape of an elliptical plate has been shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. It is made up of 3 cm in length
Enclosed in a thin cloth bag 7 of 4 cm, 4 to 5 cm wide,
You may form so that thickness may become 3 mm-5 mm. Since other configurations are similar to those of the above-described first embodiment, description thereof will be omitted. Crystal 5 is formed in this way, and pocket 3
If used by being stored inside, like the first embodiment,
It can be formed so as to cover all of the eyes of most users.

Further, by using the generally inexpensive small-diameter granular crystal 6, the eye mask of the first embodiment can be
An eye mask can be formed at low cost. Further, since the small-diameter granular crystal 6 is enclosed in the thin cloth bag 7, it is possible to keep the shape that naturally follows the eyeball of each user, and the wearing of the eye mask is further reduced.

Embodiment 3. In each of the above-described embodiments, the example in which the crystal is stored in the pocket has been shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the crystal 5 can be locked by the holding rubber portion 8 as shown in FIG. 8, for example. It goes without saying that it may be configured as follows.

In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, an example is shown in which the crystal is attached to the back side of the eye mask, that is, the eyeball side of the user, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the crystal is attached to the front side of the eye mask. It goes without saying that you can do it.

[0026] As a method of use, it is generally used at bedtime, and it is considered effective because it can be used continuously for a long time. Further, as another usage method, when the user feels slight eye fatigue, the eye mask can be used even for about 10 minutes to eliminate eye fatigue.

The eye mask of the present application is for covering the eyeball of the user with the crystal, and any other structure may be used. For example, it may have a light-shielding property or a light-transmitting property.

[0028]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, since the crystal covering the eyeball is attached, negative ions generated from the crystal can be effectively sent to the eyeball. It is possible to provide an eye mask that can promote eye strain, eye strain recovery and the like.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the crystal has an elliptical plate shape and a length of 3 cm.
~ 4 cm, width 4 cm ~ 5 cm, thickness 3 mm ~ 5 mm
Since it has a size of, it is possible to provide an eye mask equipped with a quartz crystal that can obtain an appropriate effect on the eyeball and is low in cost.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, in the second aspect, since the crystal has a convex shape on the side opposite to the eyeball, it is possible to provide an eye mask having no discomfort when worn. Become.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the quartz crystal has a small diameter and has a length of 3 cm.
Since it is enclosed in a thin cloth bag with a size of 4 cm and a width of 4 cm to 5 cm and has a thickness of about 3 mm to 5 mm, it is possible to obtain an appropriate effect on the eyeball and at a low cost. As a result, it is possible to provide an eye mask equipped with a crystal that does not cause discomfort even when worn.

According to claim 5 of the present invention, in any one of claims 1 to 4, the openable and closable pocket is formed, and the crystal is inserted and mounted in the pocket. Since it can be removed and washed, it is possible to provide an eye mask that can be kept clean.
