【産業上の利用分野】この発明は治療用磁石、殊に、適宜形状の小磁石を、少なく共当該小磁石の最大横断面積より広く、略平坦な底面を備えるやや肉厚プラスチックの略中央部に埋設すると共に、該小磁石を埋設したやや肉厚プラスチックの略平坦な又は緩やかな凸弧状底面を、当該略平坦な又は緩やかな凸弧状底面より広い剥離用テープの穴を通して貼付用テープの接着剤塗布面に、又はプラスチックケースの底板上に塗布した接着剤上に、貼着した治療用磁石に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】従来の治療用磁石としては、円板状、両面球状等の小磁石があり、係る円板状、両面球状等の小磁石からなる治療用磁石を接着剤により布に貼り、この貼布により患部等に貼付、使用するのが通常である。また、係る小さな治療用磁石を、当該治療用磁石の効能、使用法、製造者、販売者等の所要事項を記載した台紙等に、単数又は複数貼着して市販されるのが一般的で、これを購入した需要者が、その台紙より当該治療用磁石を外し、目的とする患部等に貼付して使用するのが通常であった。
【０００３】
また、例えば、特開平８−１２４７４３号公報には、円盤状の希土類磁石を、上下の円盤状シリコン樹脂の対向する円形凹みに挿入してサンドイッチ状に被覆し、又は、円盤状希土類磁石を、当該円盤状希土類磁石周りに配したリング状シリコン樹脂と共に、それらの上下に配した円盤状シリコン樹脂により、サンドイッチ状に挟むように被覆した、磁気治療器としての樹脂被覆磁石について記載される。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】前記のような従来の治療用磁石にあっては、該小さな治療用磁石の点状ないし微小面積の凸部を、当該貼布（台紙）に接着剤で接着して販売するのが通常であったため、貼布と小さな治療用磁石との接着力が弱く、当該治療用磁石がその貼布から離れ易く、ひいては、欠陥商品になる危険性があり、これを阻止するため、接着力の強い糊を塗布した貼布を使う必要があった。
【０００５】
また、仮に、治療用磁石の貼付けに強い接着力の接着剤を多量使用すると、当該小さな治療用磁石の貼布からの不用意な離脱は阻止できるものの、仮に、そのように比較的大量の接着剤が付着する治療用磁石を、使用者の患部に貼付することを想定するに、当該使用者の対アレルギー反応性が高い場合には、実際上そのような治療用磁石の使用が敬遠される嫌いがあった。
【０００６】
さらに、前記特開平８−１２４７４３号公報記載の磁気治療器としての樹脂被覆磁石にあっては、円盤状の希土類磁石が、その上下をシリコン樹脂によりサンドイッチ状に挟むように被覆されることにより、当該樹脂被覆磁石を簡単に消毒でき、潔癖症の人でも他人或いは家族間で貸借使用できる等の効果を期待できるものの、このものにあっては、円盤状の希土類磁石を、その上下の円盤状シリコン樹脂の対向する円形凹みに挿入してサンドイッチ状に挟むように被覆するか、又は、円盤状希土類磁石を、当該円盤状希土類磁石周りに配したリング状シリコン樹脂と共に、それらの上下に配した円盤状シリコン樹脂により挟むように被覆するものであったため、その構造が複雑で、その組付けがやや面倒になり、引いてはその製造コストが嵩む嫌いがあった。

【００２０】
【実施態様】以下、この発明に係る治療用磁石の第１〜５実施態様（治療用磁石１０、４０、５０、１１０、１３０）及び第５実施態様の変形例を、添付の図１〜１３を参照して説明する。なお、第２〜５実施態様及び第５実施態様の変形例は、第１実施態様の対応部と多くの共通構造を備え、その作用も酷似するから、ここでは、第２〜５実施態様及び第５実施態様の変形例については、第１実施態様に対応する部分符号１０〜１８に、第２実施態様については３０を、第３実施態様について４０を、第４実施態様については１００を、第５実施態様については１２０を、それぞれ加算した数符号を用い、第５実施態様の変形例については第５実施態様と略共通する符号を用いる。
【００２１】
【第１実施態様】この発明に係る治療用磁石の第１実施態様を、図１の治療用磁石１０の、肉厚プラスチック１３の略平坦な底面１５を貼付する前の、帯状貼付用テープ２１（帯状剥離テープ２３付）の模式縦断説明図、図２の、図１の貼付用テープ２１から、治療用磁石１０の略平坦な底面１５を貼着する穴２３Ａと円形貼付用テープ２１Ａ（図２〜４では３個）以外の貼付用テープ２１を切外し、その円形接着剤２２Ａ部分に帯状剥離テープ２３に貼付した状態の模式縦断説明図、図３の帯状剥離テープ２３（図２の状態における）の、前記円形貼付用テープ２１Ａの中心に対応する部分を切除した円形穴２３Ａ（３個）に、前記円形貼付用テープ２１Ａの中心対応下部（図２）の露出する接着剤２２Ａに、治療用磁石１０圧肉プラスチック１３の略平坦な底面１５を貼付する工程を略示する模式縦断説明図、図４の３個の円形貼付用テープ２１Ａに、治療用磁石１０の略平坦な底面１５をそれぞれ貼着した状態における、図３の矢印Ｐ方向からの模式平面説明図、図５の円形貼付用テープ２１Ａに治療用磁石１０の略平坦な底面１５を貼着すると共に、その円形接着剤２２Ａを、仮に、帯状剥離テープ２３に貼り付けた状態の模式拡大縦断説明図、図６の治療用磁石１０を目的とする患部２７への貼付（使用）状態における模式縦断説明図を参照して説明する。
【００２２】
図１〜６において、この発明の第１実施態様の治療用磁石１０は、多角形状、円盤状等の適宜形状の小磁石で、この小磁石の従断面形状が、例えば、略長方形状等の多角形の場合は、その長辺の長さ、円形の場合はその直径が約１、５〜３ｍｍ程度のものとして構成することができる。１３は小磁石１１を被覆するやや肉厚のプラスチック（プラスチックモールド）、１４はやや肉厚プラスチック１３の半球（凸弧）状面、１５はやや肉厚プラスチック１３の略平坦な底面、１６は同やや肉厚プラスチック１３の、中央部ないし中央部よりやや下位に設けた孔で、この孔１６には、従断面が略長方形状をなす小磁石（例えば、辺又は直径が約１、５〜３ｍｍ程度）が挿入される。１７は孔１６の筒状開口で、該筒状開口１７には小柱状プラスチック蓋１８が挿入、溶着される。
【００２３】
前記小柱状プラスチック蓋１８は、肉厚プラスチック１３と同一のプラスチック材により、前記筒状開口１７と略等径の小柱状に構成され、前記小磁石１１を挿入した穴１６の筒状開口１７に挿入して、同筒状開口１７周りに溶着等により結合され、当該小磁石１１を同穴１６内に確保する。なお、この小柱状プラスチック蓋１８は、図示しないが、前記穴１６内に適宜形状の小磁石１１を挿入した後、同小柱状プラスチック蓋１８を当該筒状開口１７周りに、前記のように溶着する外、同孔１６の筒状開口部１７内にプラスチック等の適宜溶融材を注入し、当該肉厚プラスチック１３の筒状開口１７周りに溶着して一体状をなすようにも構成できる。
【００２４】
２１は帯状、極薄（従来のこの種の治療用磁石を貼付する布状テープに比べて極薄）の貼付用テープ、２１Ａは円形の貼付用テープで、この円形貼付用テープ２１Ａは、前記帯状貼付用テープ２１に適宜間隔Ｌ（図４参照）を存して円形切断線２１Ｂを入れて形成する。なお、この円形切断線２１Ｂは、図示しないが、円形以外の、例えば、方形、星形等、適宜形状の切断線として構成することができる。２２は帯状貼付用テープ２１の表面（図１、２、４では下面）に塗布した接着剤、２３は同接着剤２２の表面に貼付けた帯状剥離テープ、２３Ａは帯状剥離テープ２３の円形穴で、この円形穴２３Ａは前記やや肉厚プラスチック１３（半球状又は凸弧状）の略平坦な底面１５周り（基部）を収容可能な大きさないしそれよりやや大きく形成する。
【００２５】
なお、図２、３では、帯状貼付用テープ２１の剥離テープ２３に、円形穴２３Ａを設けた例を略示したが、この剥離テープ２３の円形穴２３Ａは、当該剥離テープ２３の適所に予め設ける（この場合には、図示しないが、図１の剥離テープ２３の適所に、円形穴２３Ａが設けられることになる）か、図１の帯状貼付用テープ２１に、円形切断線２３Ｂを入れて円形貼付用テープ２１Ａ（図２参照）を形成するのと同時に、この円形穴２３Ａを構成することもできる。
【００２６】
２５はこの治療用磁石１０を貼付する肌２６の皮膚、２７は痛み等何らかの症状に係わる患部、２８は治療用磁石１０の肉厚プラスチック１３の半球状頂面１４を圧入することにより窪む、同患部２７の凹部である。
【００２７】
【第１実施態様の作用】この発明の第１実施態様の治療用磁石１０を、円形（長方形等、他の形状の場合も同様）貼着用テープ２１Ａ表面（図１、２、４では下面）の接着剤２２に貼付けた帯状剥離テープ２３のうち、前記円形切断線２１Ｂと同形に切断されたリング状剥離テープ２３Ｂの、中央の円形穴２３Ａに対応するように露出する、円形貼付用テープ２１Ａの表面に塗布された円形接着剤２２Ａに、当該治療用磁石１０の、肉厚半球状プラスチック１３の略平坦な底面１５を、図３の白抜き矢印方向（図３では上向き）に押圧して圧着し、図４、５のように貼付する。
【００２８】
図５では、中央部に治療用磁石１０の略平坦な底面１５を貼付した円形貼付用テープ２１Ａを、仮に、帯状剥離用テープ２３に貼付したもの、即ち、図４の一部の治療用磁石１０を拡大模式縦断説明図で略示した。この状態では、実際には、複数の円形貼付用テープ２１Ａが、帯状剥離テープ２３上に貼付されること（図４参照）になる。
【００２９】
なお、この治療用磁石１０の帯状剥離テープ２３には、間隔Ｌ（図４参照）の円形穴２３Ａ（治療用磁石１０挿入用）が形成される外、同円形穴２３Ａ周りに、前記帯状貼付用テープ２１に形成される円形切断線２１Ｂと同一形状の切断線（例えば、ミシン目）を形成することにより、帯状剥離テープ２３に、仮に貼付した治療用磁石１０を、その円形貼付用テープ２１Ａと共に、当該帯状剥離テープ２３から剥離する際、当該円形貼付用テープ２１Ａの円形接着剤２２Ａにリング状剥離テープ２３Ｂが、当該帯状剥離テープ２３（図５の符号２３賦与部参照）から容易に分離するように、前記円形貼付用テープ２１Ａの切断線２１Ｂと同形、同大の切断線（例えば、ミシン目）を、前記円形穴２３の成形と同時に設けることもできる。
【００３０】
そして、この治療用磁石１０は、図４のように帯状剥離テープ２３に、仮に、貼付される状態から、同当該帯状剥離テープ２３（図４）から、必要に応じて図５のような１個（単位）の治療用磁石１０（リング状剥離テープ２３Ｂ付）を分離した後、リング状剥離テープ２３Ｂを剥離し、この治療用磁石１０を図６のように患部２７等の適所に貼付して、使用する。
【００３１】
なお、前記のように構成した、複数の治療用磁石１０、１０……を貼付した帯状貼付用テープ２１を、図示しない適宜リール等に巻取り、又は当該帯状貼付用テープ２１を所要長さに切断して適所に保管し、必要に応じて随時、前記と略同要領で、帯状貼付用テープ２１から１個ずつ剥離し、患部２７等に貼付して、使用する。
【００３２】
この治療用磁石１０は、円形貼付用テープ２１Ａの円形接着剤２２Ａを介して、図４のように帯状剥離テープ２３に、仮に、貼付される円形貼付用テープ２１Ａを、同帯状剥離テープ２３から引き離す。この状態において、円形貼付用テープ２１Ａには、図５のように円形接着剤２２Ａを介して、治療用磁石１０の肉厚プラスチック１３の略平坦な底面１５が貼着される。
【００３３】
次に、このような円形貼付用テープ２１Ａの円形接着剤２２Ａを剥離テープ２３から剥離して、円形接着剤２２Ａ（治療用磁石１０の貼着部を除く）を露出させた後、前記治療用磁石１０の半球状頂面１４を、痛み等、何らかの症状に係わる患部２７周りの皮膚２５に当て、同円形貼着用テープ２１Ａの外側（図４では上側）から、同治療用磁石１０の略平坦な底面１５を介して、患部２７周りの皮膚２５に凹部２８が生ずるようにやや強く押し（ただし、図４は凹部２８を誇張して略示した）、併せて、当該肉厚プラスチック１３の略平坦な底面１５周りから外側へ突出する円形貼着用テープ２１Ａを押圧し、そのリング状をなす周縁部を円形接着剤２２Ａにより患部２７周りの皮膚２５に貼付する。
【００３４】
その際、やや広い略平坦な底面１５と円形貼着用テープ２１Ａとが、そのやや広い円形表面の円形状なす接着剤２２Ａ領域に貼着されることにより、患部２７等の目的箇所への、当該治療用磁石１０の安定した貼着状態を確保する。
なお、治療用磁石１０を貼付する患部２７等の皮膚２５に当て、適度に応圧して、接着剤２２により貼付して使用すること自体は、前記肉厚球状プラスチック１３を備えない点は別として、従来の通常の治療用磁石と略同様である。
【００３５】
また、この治療用磁石１０は、やや肉厚半球状プラスチック１３の略平坦な低面１５中央部に開口する筒状開口１７から前記孔１６に、形状、磁界強度、色彩等、磁気特性等の異なる他の小磁石、例えば、金、銀、コバルト等の金属を鍍金又は蒸着し、若しくは適宜色彩に着色した他の小磁石を挿入した後、同筒状開口１７に小柱状プラスチック蓋１８を挿入して溶着し、又は他の溶融材を注入、溶着、固化して閉塞することにより、磁気特性や見栄え等の異なる治療用磁石を提供できる。
【００３６】
この肉厚半球状プラスチック１３を透明又は半透明プラスチック材製にすると共に、この貼付用テープ２１、したがって、この円形貼付用テープ２１Ａを、透明又は半透明プラスチック材により構成すれば、患部２７へ貼着されたこの治療用磁石１０が、透明又は半透明の肉厚プラスチック２１内に埋設された、例えば、金、銀、コバルト等の金属を鍍金又は蒸着し、若しくは適宜色彩に着色した他の小磁石が、透明又は半透明の円形貼付用テープ２１Ａを介して視認され、当該治療用磁石１０の見栄え性が一層向上する。
【００３７】
また、図示しないが、やや肉厚プラスチック１３の孔１６の内径（例えば、横断面径Ａ：後述の第２、３実施態様を略示する図７、８参照）より、前記小磁石１１の外径（その最大横断面径Ｂ：同図７、８参照）をやや大きく構成する等、同孔１６の内径Ａと、当該小磁石１１の最大横断面径Ｂとが強固に密接するように構成することにより、当該小磁石１１を同孔１６内に確保することができ、この場合には小柱状プラスチック蓋１８を省略することができる。
【００３８】
また、この場合において、肉厚プラスチック１３の孔１６、殊に、その筒状開口１７の深さを変え（浅くし）、同孔１６に挿入した小磁石１１の上面（図５、６）と、肉厚プラスチック１３の略平坦な底面（図５、６では上面）１５とを略等高に構成すれば、肉厚プラスチック１３の略平坦な底面１５に接着した円形貼付用テープ２１Ａの円形接着剤２２Ａの中央部が、当該小磁石１１の上面に同時に接着されることにより、同小磁石１１が同孔１６内、したがって、当該肉厚プラスチック１３内の所定位置に確保される。
【００３９】
前記肉厚プラスチック１３の孔１６の深さ、したがって、筒状開口１７の長さ及び、小柱状プラスチック蓋１８の長さの選択により、該孔１６に埋設する前記小磁石１１と、肉厚プラスチック１３の半球状頂面１４との間隔を適度に調整し、即ち、当該治療用磁石１０を患部２７等の被帖着面（皮膚２５）に貼着した状態を略示する図６における、当該小磁石１１による被帖着面（皮膚２５）への磁気賦与効果の異なる治療用磁石を提供できる。なお、こ肉厚プラスチック１３の孔１６の深さと、同孔１６に埋設する小磁石１１による当該患部２７への磁気賦与効果傾向は、後述の第２〜５実施態様（変形例を含む）の治療用磁石４０、５０、１１０、１３０等についても、略同様である。
【００４０】
【第１実施態様の変形例】なお、第１実施態様の治療用磁石１０の、肉厚プラスチック１３の略平坦な底面１５は、図示しないが、緩やかな凸弧状面（例えば、後述の図１２、１３に略示する第６実施態様の、肉厚プラスチック１３４の底面１３５の形状参照）として構成することができ、この場合にも前記と略同様な、貼付用テープを併用することなく、直接貼付可能な機能を期待できる。
【００４１】
【第２実施態様】次に、この発明の第２実施態様の治療用磁石４０を、その模式縦断説明図の図７を参照して説明する。なお、前記第１実施態様の治療用磁石１０に対応する部分には、その対応符号に３０を加えた数符号を用いる。
第２実施態様の治療用磁石４０は、その肉厚半球状プラスチック４３の穴４６に埋設する小磁石４１を、その断面が略８角形薄板状に形成したこと、前記肉厚半球状プラスチック４３のほぼ平坦な底面４５に貼着する、図示しない接着剤を塗布した帯状貼付用テープ、帯状剥離用テープ等は、前記第１実施態様の治療用磁石１０のほぼ平坦な底面１５に貼着する接着剤２２を塗布した帯状貼付用テープ２１、帯状剥離用テープ２３等とほぼ同様である。
【００４２】
第２実施態様の治療用磁石４０は、肉厚半球状プラスチック４３のほぼ平坦な底面４５に筒状開口４７を介して開口する孔４６の径Ｂを、当該孔４６に挿入される上下両面（図７参照）を面取りした薄板状小磁石４１の長径（横径）Ａよりやや短小に構成し、同孔４６に挿入した薄板状小磁石４１を、同孔４６の筒状開口４７に挿入される小柱状プラスチック蓋４８との協同により、同孔４６内に強固に保持する。
その予の構造、作用は、前記第１実施態様の治療用磁石１０と略同様である。
【００４３】
【第３実施態様】次に、この発明の第３実施態様の治療用磁石５０を、その模式縦断面図の図８を参照して説明する。なお、前記第１実施態様の治療用磁石１０に対応する部分には、その対応符号に４０を加えた数符号を用いる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a therapeutic magnet, especially a small magnet of an appropriate shape, which is at least substantially wider than the maximum cross-sectional area of the small magnet and has a substantially flat bottom surface and a substantially central portion of a relatively thick plastic. Attach the adhesive tape through the hole of the peeling tape which is wider than the substantially flat or gentle convex arc bottom surface of the slightly thick plastic with the small magnets embedded therein. The present invention relates to a therapeutic magnet attached to an agent-applied surface or an adhesive applied to a bottom plate of a plastic case.
[0002]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventional therapeutic magnets include small magnets having a disc shape, a spherical shape on both sides, and the like. It is normal to stick and use the affected area or the like with this patch. In addition, it is common that one or more such small therapeutic magnets are attached to a mount or the like on which a description of the effects of the therapeutic magnet, the method of use, the manufacturer, the seller, and the like is described, and then the medical treatment is marketed. In general, a consumer who purchases the magnet removes the treatment magnet from the backing sheet and attaches it to a target affected part or the like for use.
[0003]
In addition, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-124743, a disc-shaped rare earth magnet is inserted into opposed circular recesses of upper and lower disc-shaped silicone resins and covered in a sandwich shape, or a disc-shaped rare earth magnet is provided. A resin-coated magnet as a magnetic therapy device, which is covered with a ring-shaped silicon resin disposed around the disk-shaped rare earth magnet and a disk-shaped silicon resin disposed above and below the ring-shaped silicon resin so as to sandwich it, is described.
[0004]
In the conventional treatment magnet as described above, the point-like or minute-area convex portion of the small treatment magnet is bonded to the patch (backing paper) with an adhesive. Since the adhesive was usually weak, the adhesive between the adhesive and the small therapeutic magnet was weak, and the therapeutic magnet was easy to separate from the adhesive, which could result in a defective product. To prevent this, it was necessary to use a patch coated with a glue having a strong adhesive force.
[0005]
Also, if a large amount of adhesive having a strong adhesive force is used to attach the treatment magnet, careless detachment of the small treatment magnet from the adhesive cloth can be prevented, but such a relatively large amount of adhesive can be used. Assuming that the therapeutic magnet to which the agent adheres is attached to the affected area of the user, if the user has high antiallergic reactivity, use of such a therapeutic magnet is actually avoided. I hate it.
[0006]
Further, in the resin-coated magnet as a magnetic therapy device described in JP-A-8-124743, a disk-shaped rare earth magnet is coated by sandwiching the upper and lower portions thereof with a silicon resin in a sandwich shape. The resin-coated magnet can be easily disinfected, and even a person with innocence can expect to have the effect of borrowing and using it between another person or family, but in this case, the disk-shaped rare earth magnet is replaced with a disk-shaped upper and lower disk-shaped magnet. It is inserted into the opposite circular recess of the silicone resin and covered so as to sandwich it, or the disc-shaped rare earth magnet is arranged above and below them together with the ring-shaped silicone resin arranged around the disc-shaped rare earth magnet. Because it was covered so as to be sandwiched by the disc-shaped silicone resin, its structure was complicated, its assembly was somewhat troublesome, and its manufacturing cost was reduced. There was no hate.
[0007]
The present invention has been made by focusing on the problems in the conventional therapeutic magnet as described above, and, if necessary, can be applied to a target portion without using an adhesive paper or an adhesive tape. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a therapeutic magnet in which the above-mentioned problems have been solved.

[0011]
In addition, the somewhat thick plastic is made of a transparent or translucent plastic material, and the transparent or translucent plastic material is plated or plated with gold, silver, cobalt, or the like in a substantially central hole of the slightly thick plastic. Vapor-deposited or embedded in a small magnet of an appropriate shape colored in an appropriate color, and a transparent or translucent sticking tape wider than the bottom is attached to the bottom of the transparent or translucent thick plastic. Yes, a small magnet of an appropriate shape such as the thin disk or polygonal plate is buried in a substantially central portion, and at least a substantially flat or gently convex plastic having a cross-sectional area larger than the maximum cross-sectional area of the small magnet is used. The arc-shaped bottom surface can be directly adhered to a surface to be adhered such as an affected part with an adhesive.
[0012]
In addition, a small magnet of an appropriate shape such as the thin disk or polygonal plate is buried in a substantially central portion, and at least a cross-sectional area wider than the maximum cross-sectional area of the small magnet is provided. The bottom surface of the convex arc is attached to a release paper, a release tape or a plurality of adhesives which are applied to the bottom plate of a plastic case at an appropriate interval so as to be separated from each other, and the release paper, the release tape or the release on the bottom plate of the plastic case. A plurality of slightly thick plastics are affixed to a possible adhesive, and the plurality of slightly thick plastics are releasably covered by a suitable means such as a plastic lid.

This is a concave portion of the affected part 27.
[0027]
Operation of the First Embodiment The magnet for treatment 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is attached to the surface of a tape 21A for attaching a circular (the same applies to other shapes such as rectangles) (the lower surface in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4). Of the strip-shaped peeling tape 23 affixed to the adhesive 22 of the above, is exposed so as to correspond to the central circular hole 23A of the ring-shaped peeling tape 23B cut in the same shape as the circular cutting line 21B. The substantially flat bottom surface 15 of the thick hemispherical plastic 13 of the treatment magnet 10 is pressed against the circular adhesive 22A applied to the surface of the body in the direction of the white arrow in FIG. 3 (upward in FIG. 3). It crimps and sticks as shown in FIG.
[0028]
In FIG. 5, a circular attaching tape 21A in which the substantially flat bottom surface 15 of the therapeutic magnet 10 is adhered to the central portion is temporarily attached to a strip-shaped peeling tape 23, that is, a part of the therapeutic magnet in FIG. 10 is schematically shown in an enlarged schematic vertical sectional view. In this state, a plurality of circular attaching tapes 21A are actually attached on the strip-shaped peeling tape 23 (see FIG. 4).
[0029]
The band-shaped peeling tape 23 of the treatment magnet 10 has a circular hole 23A (for inserting the treatment magnet 10) with an interval L (see FIG. 4), and the band-like affixing around the circular hole 23A. By forming a cutting line (for example, perforation) having the same shape as the circular cutting line 21B formed on the tape 21 for treatment, the treatment magnet 10 temporarily attached to the strip-shaped peeling tape 23 is attached to the circular attaching tape 21A. At the same time, when peeling from the strip-shaped peeling tape 23, the ring-shaped peeling tape 23B is easily separated from the strip-shaped peeling tape 23 (see the reference numeral 23 in FIG. 5) on the circular adhesive 22A of the tape for circular pasting 21A. As such, a cutting line (for example, perforation) having the same shape and the same size as the cutting line 21B of the circular attaching tape 21A can be provided at the same time when the circular hole 23 is formed.
[0030]
Then, the treatment magnet 10 is temporarily attached to the strip-shaped peeling tape 23 as shown in FIG. 4, and is then removed from the strip-shaped stripping tape 23 (FIG. 4) as necessary as shown in FIG. After separating the individual (unit) therapeutic magnets 10 (with the ring-shaped peeling tape 23B), the ring-shaped peeling tape 23B is peeled off, and this therapeutic magnet 10 is stuck to an appropriate place such as the affected part 27 as shown in FIG. And use.
[0031]
In addition, the band-shaped attaching tape 21 to which the plurality of treatment magnets 10, 10,... Are attached as described above is wound on a suitable reel or the like (not shown), or the band-shaped attaching tape 21 is set to a required length. It is cut and stored in an appropriate place, and if necessary, it is peeled off one by one from the band-shaped adhesive tape 21 in almost the same manner as described above, attached to the affected part 27 or the like, and used.
[0032]
This treatment magnet 10 is, as shown in FIG. 4, via a circular adhesive 22A of a circular pasting tape 21A, a circular pasting tape 21A temporarily attached to the band-like peeling tape 23, Pull apart. In this state, the substantially flat bottom surface 15 of the thick plastic 13 of the treatment magnet 10 is adhered to the circular attaching tape 21A via the circular adhesive 22A as shown in FIG.
[0033]
Next, the circular adhesive 22A of such a tape for circular application 21A is peeled off from the release tape 23 to expose the circular adhesive 22A (excluding the adhesive portion of the therapeutic magnet 10). The hemispherical top surface 14 of the magnet 10 is applied to the skin 25 around the affected part 27 related to some symptom such as pain, and the treatment magnet 10 is substantially flat from the outside (the upper side in FIG. 4) of the circular sticking tape 21A. Through the bottom surface 15, the skin 25 around the affected part 27 is pressed slightly strongly so as to form a concave portion 28 (however, the concave portion 28 is exaggerated in FIG. 4). The circular adhesive tape 21A protruding outward from around the flat bottom surface 15 is pressed, and the ring-shaped peripheral portion is adhered to the skin 25 around the affected area 27 with the circular adhesive 22A.
[0034]
At this time, the slightly wide bottom surface 15 and the circular attaching tape 21A are adhered to the circular adhesive 22A region on the slightly wide circular surface, so that the target portion such as the affected part 27 can be used. A stable attachment state of the treatment magnet 10 is ensured.
In addition, the treatment magnet 10 is applied to the skin 25 such as the affected part 27 to which the treatment magnet 10 is to be adhered, the pressure is moderately applied, and the treatment is applied by the adhesive 22 itself, except that the thick spherical plastic 13 is not provided. This is substantially the same as a conventional ordinary treatment magnet.
[0035]
In addition, the treatment magnet 10 has a semi-thick hemispherical plastic 13, which has a substantially flat low surface 15 and a cylindrical opening 17 opening at the center of the lower surface 15. After other small magnets, for example, plated or vapor-deposited with a metal such as gold, silver, or cobalt, or inserted with other small magnets colored appropriately, a small columnar plastic lid 18 is inserted into the cylindrical opening 17. Then, or by injecting, welding, solidifying and closing another molten material and closing the same, it is possible to provide therapeutic magnets having different magnetic properties and appearance.
[0036]
If the thick semi-spherical plastic 13 is made of a transparent or translucent plastic material, and the tape 21 for application, and therefore the tape 21A for circular application, is made of a transparent or translucent plastic material, it is applied to the affected part 27. The treatment magnet 10 attached is plated or vapor-deposited with a metal such as gold, silver, cobalt or the like or embedded in a transparent or translucent thick plastic 21, or other small colored metal. The magnet is visually recognized through the transparent or translucent circular attaching tape 21A, and the appearance of the therapeutic magnet 10 is further improved.
[0037]
Although not shown, the inner diameter of the hole 16 of the slightly thick plastic 13 (for example, the cross-sectional diameter A: see FIGS. 7 and 8 schematically showing the second and third embodiments described later) indicates the outside of the small magnet 11. The inner diameter A of the hole 16 and the maximum cross-sectional diameter B of the small magnet 11 are firmly and closely contacted, for example, by slightly increasing the diameter (the maximum cross-sectional diameter B: see FIGS. 7 and 8). By doing so, the small magnet 11 can be secured in the same hole 16, and in this case, the small columnar plastic lid 18 can be omitted.
[0038]
Further, in this case, the depth of the hole 16 of the thick plastic 13, particularly, the cylindrical opening 17 thereof is changed (shallowed), and the upper surface of the small magnet 11 inserted into the hole 16 (FIGS. 5 and 6). If the substantially flat bottom surface (the top surface in FIGS. 5 and 6) 15 of the thick plastic 13 is formed to have substantially the same height, the circular bonding tape 21A bonded to the substantially flat bottom surface 15 of the thick plastic 13 will be described. The central portion of the agent 22 </ b> A is simultaneously adhered to the upper surface of the small magnet 11, so that the small magnet 11 is secured in the same hole 16, and thus at a predetermined position in the thick plastic 13.
[0039]
By selecting the depth of the hole 16 of the thick plastic 13 and therefore the length of the cylindrical opening 17 and the length of the small columnar plastic lid 18, the small magnet 11 embedded in the hole 16 and the thick plastic 13, the distance between the hemispherical top surface 14 and the hemispherical top surface 14 is adjusted appropriately, that is, FIG. It is possible to provide a therapeutic magnet having a different magnetizing effect on the surface to be covered (skin 25) by the small magnet 11. Note that the depth of the hole 16 of the thick plastic 13 and the tendency of the small magnet 11 embedded in the hole 16 to give a magnetic effect to the affected part 27 are described in the second to fifth embodiments (including modified examples) described later. The same applies to the treatment magnets 40, 50, 110, 130 and the like.
[0040]
[Modification of the First Embodiment] The substantially flat bottom surface 15 of the thick plastic 13 of the treatment magnet 10 of the first embodiment is not shown, but is a gentle convex arc surface (for example, FIG. , 13 of the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 13) (see the shape of the bottom surface 135 of the thick plastic 134). In this case as well, it is possible to directly Expect a function that can be pasted.
[0041]
Second Embodiment Next, a treatment magnet 40 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the part corresponding to the treatment magnet 10 of the first embodiment is represented by a numeral code obtained by adding 30 to the corresponding numeral.

A band-shaped sticking tape, a band-shaped peeling tape, etc., to which an adhesive (not shown) is applied, which is stuck to the substantially flat bottom surface 45, is bonded to the substantially flat bottom surface 15 of the treatment magnet 10 of the first embodiment. It is almost the same as the band-shaped attaching tape 21 coated with the agent 22, the band-shaped peeling tape 23, and the like.
[0042]
In the treatment magnet 40 of the second embodiment, the diameter B of the hole 46 opening through the cylindrical opening 47 on the substantially flat bottom surface 45 of the thick hemispherical plastic 43 is adjusted to the upper and lower surfaces ( 7) is slightly smaller than the major axis (lateral diameter) A of the thin plate-shaped small magnet 41 chamfered, and the small plate-shaped small magnet 41 inserted into the same hole 46 is inserted into the cylindrical opening 47 of the same hole 46. By cooperating with the small columnar plastic lid 48, it is firmly held in the hole 46.
Its preliminary structure and operation are substantially the same as those of the therapeutic magnet 10 of the first embodiment.
[0043]
Third Embodiment Next, a treatment magnet 50 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. It is to be noted that, for the portion corresponding to the treatment magnet 10 of the first embodiment, a numeral code obtained by adding 40 to the corresponding code is used.
In this treatment magnet 50, the small magnet 51 embedded in the hole 56 of the thick hemispherical plastic 53 is formed in a thin plate shape whose cross section has a substantially convex arc on both sides. A band-shaped sticking tape, a band-shaped peeling tape, etc., to which an adhesive (not shown) is applied, which is stuck to the substantially flat bottom surface 55 of the 53, is stuck to the substantially flat bottom surface 15 of the treatment magnet 10 of the first embodiment. It is almost the same as the band-shaped attaching tape 21 coated with the adhesive 22, the band-shaped peeling tape 23, and the like.
[0044]
The lateral diameter B of the hole 56 opened in the substantially flat bottom surface 55 of the hemispherical plastic 53 of the therapeutic magnet 50 of the third embodiment is such that the upper and lower side edges inserted into the hole 56 are convex arc-shaped thin plate-shaped small magnets. A small-column-shaped plastic lid 51 which is configured to be slightly shorter and shorter than the horizontal length (horizontal diameter) A of 51 and has a small plate-like magnet 51 having a convex arc on both sides inserted into the hole 56 and inserted into a cylindrical opening 57 of the hole 56. By cooperating with 58, it is firmly held in the hole 56. Its preliminary structure and operation are substantially the same as those of the therapeutic magnets 10 and 40 of the first and second embodiments.
[0045]
Fourth Embodiment Next, a treatment magnet 110 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. It should be noted that, for the portion corresponding to the treatment magnet 10 of the treatment magnet 110 of the fourth embodiment, a numeral code obtained by adding 100 to the corresponding code is used. However, in FIG. 9, the substantially flat bottom surface 115 of the thick plastic 113 of the treatment magnet 110 in the fourth embodiment is lower, and the convex arc-shaped top surface 114 is upper, that is, the treatment magnet 10 of the first embodiment. Is abbreviated upside down.
[0046]
The therapeutic magnet 110 of the fourth embodiment has a substantially rectangular shape in its minor section, and a thin plate-shaped small magnet 111 whose corner 111A is chamfered in an arc shape. It has a substantially flat bottom surface 115 that is wider than the maximum cross-sectional area, and has a slightly chamfered portion 115A on the periphery of the bottom surface 115. A small columnar plastic lid 118 is inserted into the cylindrical opening 117, welded, sealed, and embedded. A moderately large size having a sufficient holding force to adhere the substantially flat bottom surface 115 and the chamfered portion 115A of the treatment magnet 111 to the surface to be adhered such as the skin 25 (see FIG. 6) of the affected part 27. Then, a circular sticking tape 21A to which an adhesive 22 (area) is applied is stuck.
It should be noted that the sticking is performed such that the convex arc-shaped top surface 114 of the slightly thick convex arc-shaped plastic 113 projects from the circular hole 23A of the ring-shaped peeling tape 23B.
[0047]
Operation of the Fourth Embodiment The therapeutic magnet 110 of the fourth embodiment is obtained by chamfering a small magnet 111 embedded in a hole 116 of a thick convex arc-shaped plastic 113 and chamfering a corner portion 111A whose longitudinal section is rectangular. Thereby, the small magnet 111 having an appropriate shape having the required therapeutic magnet function can be configured to be thin, and the height of the slightly thick convex arc-shaped plastic 113 covering the magnet can be made relatively low (the first to third embodiments). The thickness of the hemispherical plastic 13, 43, 53 is thinner, and the thicker arcuate plastic is applied to the target attachment site (the skin 25 around the affected part 27 in FIG. 6) for the treatment magnet 110. The depression (see reference numeral 28 in FIG. 6) resulting from the insertion of the convex arc-shaped top surface 113 of the projection 113 becomes slightly shallower than that of the first to third embodiments, so that it can be affixed without difficulty.
Its preliminary structure and operation are almost the same as those of the therapeutic magnets 10, 40 and 50 of the first to third embodiments.
[0048]
Fifth Embodiment Next, a fifth embodiment of the therapeutic magnet according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a schematic plan view showing a state in which a plurality of adhesives 132 are applied to a release tape (or release paper) 133 at appropriate intervals, and FIG. 11 is a view on the release tape (or release paper) 133 in FIG. FIG. 12 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view illustrating a state in which the therapeutic magnet 130 is adhered to the medical device 130. FIG. 12 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view illustrating a state in which the therapeutic magnet 130 according to the fifth embodiment is adhered to the affected part 27. In the treatment magnet 130 of the fifth embodiment, parts corresponding to the treatment magnets 10 of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those obtained by adding 120 to the corresponding reference numerals. However, in FIGS. 10 to 12, the bottom surface 135 is lower and the convex arc-shaped top surface 136 is upper, similarly to the treatment magnet 110 of the fourth embodiment schematically shown in FIG. The treatment magnet 10 according to the embodiment is schematically shown with its upside down. Further, the same reference numerals and the same names are used for the portions common to the first embodiment.
[0049]
As schematically shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the therapeutic magnet 130 according to the fifth embodiment includes a thin plate-shaped small magnet 131 having an appropriate shape such as a disk shape or a polygonal plate shape. It is wider than the cross-sectional area of the appropriately formed thin plate-like small magnet 131 such as a plate, and the top and the bottom are provided with a gentle convex arc-shaped surface. The slightly thick plastic 134 in which the small magnets 131 are embedded is attached to a peeling tape or an adhesive 132 (see FIG. 10) applied to the mount 133 at appropriate intervals.
[0050]
By bonding the bottom surface of the plastic 134 to the adhesive 132 on the release tape or the mount 133, the plastic 134 is secured on the release tape or the mount 133 via the adhesive, but in this state, the plastic When the 134 is pulled upward, the adhesive 132 and the bottom surface of the plastic 134 are separated from the release tape or the mount 133 together with the plastic 134 by the adhesive force. The plastic 134 and thus the treatment magnet 130 are attached to the skin 25 of the affected part 27 as shown in FIG. 12 by the adhesive 132 that is separated from the release tape or the backing 133 and adheres to the bottom surface of the plastic 134.
The therapeutic magnet 130 of the fifth embodiment is directly attached to the skin 25 or the like of the affected part 27 by the adhesive 132 without using the attaching tape 21 as in the first to fourth embodiments.
[0051]
The gentle convex bottom 135 of the thick plastic 134 of the treatment magnet 130 of the fifth embodiment is not shown, but is similar to the thick plastics 13, 43, 53, 113 of the first to fourth embodiments. In addition, a substantially flat shape or a shape similar to a shape obtained by slightly chamfering the end portion can be employed, and in this case, substantially the same operation as in the fifth embodiment is performed.
[0052]
Modification of Fifth Embodiment Next, a treatment magnet 140 in a plastic case as a modification of the fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the same reference numerals and the same names are used for the portions common to the fifth embodiment.
[0053]
The medical treatment magnet 130 in a plastic case 140 as a modification of the fifth embodiment of the present invention is configured such that the release paper or the release tape 133 of the medical treatment magnet 130 of the fifth embodiment is attached to the plastic bottom plate 147 of the plastic case 140. , A plurality of adhesives 132, 132,... Are applied on the plastic bottom plate 147 at appropriate intervals, and a slightly thick plastic 134 having a small magnet 131 of an appropriate shape embedded thereon is placed thereon. A plastic cover 148 that adheres and covers them is removably provided, and the therapeutic magnet 130 of the fifth embodiment is detachably mounted in the plastic cover 148 that covers the same. This can be said to be a modification provided as possible.
[0054]
In the treatment magnet 130 according to the modified example of the fifth embodiment, the lid 148 of the plastic case 140 is opened, and the gentle convex bottom 135 of the thick plastic 134 is not shown. Like the thick plastics 13, 43, 53, and 113, it can be formed into a substantially flat shape or a shape similar to a shape obtained by slightly chamfering the end portion. It works almost the same.
[0055]
Further, if the plastic case 140 of the modification of the fifth embodiment, particularly the plastic lid 148 thereof, is made of a transparent plastic material, the same as the treatment magnet 130 of the fifth embodiment accommodated in the plastic case 140 is used. In this modification, the shape, size, and the like of the treatment magnet 130 in the plastic case 140 can be recognized without opening the transparent plastic lid 148.
[0056]
Since the present invention has the above-described structure and operates, the following specific effects can be obtained.
[0057]
(1) According to the invention of claim 1, small magnets of various shapes such as a thin disk shape or a polygonal plate shape are provided with a substantially flat bottom surface which is at least larger than the maximum cross-sectional area of the small magnets. Since the small magnet is buried approximately in the center of the plastic, the small magnet is protected by a slightly thick plastic, and a small magnet with the required magnetic treatment function is used together with a tape for applying to the substantially flat bottom surface of the treatment magnet. Then, when affixing to the target affected area, etc., through a rather thick plastic having a substantially flat bottom surface slightly larger than its maximum cross-sectional area, therefore, the pressing force of the small magnet on the surface to be adhered is Dispersed by the contact surface of a slightly thick plastic with a large cross-sectional area, transmitted to the adhered surface such as the skin without difficulty, and the therapeutic magnet is not discomforted to the adhered portion, and for a long time. Can be applied without difficulty.
[0058]
(2) Since the small magnet can be attached without directly contacting the surface to be adhered such as human skin, various metals such as gold, silver, and cobalt are plated or vapor-deposited on the small magnet or appropriately colored. Can be used by the user of the therapeutic magnet without considering the metal allergy, color (coloring) allergy, etc. to the small magnet.

(5) According to the invention of claim 4, the appropriately shaped small magnet is provided at a substantially central portion of the slightly thick plastic through a cylindrical hole which is opened at a substantially flat bottom surface or a gentle convex arc bottom surface. By inserting a small column-shaped plastic lid into the opening of the cylindrical hole and welding it, or filling the cylindrical hole with a suitable melting material such as plastic and sealing it by welding to make it small in an appropriate shape. Regardless of the shape, structure, color, etc. of the magnet, the magnet can be securely buried in the cylindrical opening of the cylindrical hole at the center of the bottom of the slightly thick plastic that is substantially flat or swinging arrow-shaped convex arc, and accidentally falls off It is possible to provide a therapeutic magnet capable of ensuring the therapeutic magnet function for a long time without fear of occurrence.
[0062]
(6) According to the invention of claim 5, the slightly thick plastic is made of a transparent or translucent plastic material, and the transparent or semitransparent plastic material is formed in a substantially central hole of the slightly thick plastic. Gold, silver, cobalt, etc. are plated or vapor-deposited, or a small magnet of an appropriate shape colored appropriately is buried, so that this therapeutic magnet attached to human skin can be seen in dust, stains, acne, moles, etc. In addition to the possibility of being mistaken, the shape, luster, etc. of the small magnet embedded in the relatively thick plastic, for example, plated or vapor-deposited with various metals such as gold, silver, and cobalt, or colored appropriately. The color or the like can be clearly recognized from the outside of the transparent or translucent thick plastic, and a therapeutic magnet with good appearance can be provided.
[0063]
(7) A transparent or translucent adhesive tape wider than the substantially flat bottom surface is attached to the substantially flat bottom surface of the transparent or semi-transparent plastic material, which is a relatively thick plastic, so that the transparent or semi-transparent plastic material can be used. The small magnet buried in the translucent plastic material thick plastic can always be recognized through the transparent or translucent pressure-sensitive plastic and the transparent or translucent sticking tape, and the treatment applied to the affected part etc. Since the tape for attaching the magnet for use is made of a transparent or translucent plastic, there is no risk of obstruction.
[0064]
(8) According to the invention of claim 6, the small magnet having an appropriate shape such as the thin disk or the polygonal plate is provided at least in the center of a slightly thick plastic having a cross-sectional area wider than the maximum cross-sectional area of the small magnet. By embedding in the part, and applying the substantially flat or gentle convex arc-shaped bottom surface of the slightly thick plastic to the target affected part via an adhesive, without using a tape for applying together, the affected part is reasonably easy. Can be directly attached to
[0065]
(9) According to the invention of claim 7, a small magnet of an appropriate shape such as the thin disk or polygonal plate is buried in a substantially central portion, and at least a small magnet has a cross-sectional area wider than the maximum cross-sectional area of the small magnet. A substantially flat bottom surface or a gentle convex bottom surface of a thick plastic is attached to a release paper, a release tape or a plurality of adhesives applied at appropriate intervals on a bottom plate of a plastic case, and the release paper, a release tape Or, by covering a plurality of slightly thick plastics adhered to the adhesive on the bottom plate of the plastic case with an appropriate means such as a plastic lid so as to be able to be opened, the slightly thick plastics in which the small magnets of the appropriate shape are embedded, In addition to being able to be opened and covered by appropriate means such as a plastic lid that can be opened and stored and managed, a slightly thick plastic with the small magnet of the appropriate shape embedded is attached to the target location. At this time, the adhesive is automatically peeled off from the release paper, the release tape, or the bottom plate of the plastic case, and can be used immediately.
