Description

  The present invention relates to a method for supplying high-concentration oxygen gas to a massage bed and an apparatus used for the method.

  Massage (Satsuma) is also a means of recovering mental fatigue, which has recently been elucidated as a means of recovering fatigue of the body from the old days, and has recently been elucidated to be closely related to physical fatigue. It attracts attention again. Basically, muscle massage (directly relieving human body muscles) and acupuncture points in various parts of the human body.

These massages are roughly classified into those by hand and those by the recently popular electric type of massager (squeezing and striking function). It is not suitable for treatment.
And as the effects of such massage treatments are reviewed, many massage specialty stores have been developed on the street corners so that many people can easily receive them at once.

In such a manual massage, a massage bed is basically used, although a sauna for unraveling muscles may be used in combination.
The following techniques are known as massage beds as such surgical instruments.
JP-A-5-317381. This is provided with a pillow and a chest lifting member on the massage table. JP-A-11-57025. This is provided with a mat for ion electrostatic treatment and a plurality of vibrators. JP2004-167238. This is provided with a retaining recess and an inclined portion on the upper surface of the bed. In addition, there have been many proposals with electric appliances for massage.

  As described in the above-mentioned patent documents, there are beds that have been devised in various ways as a bed that is manually treated, but it obtains suitable conditions (postures, etc.) for performing massage. The purpose was.

However, although it is certain that the effect of the massage is manifested by stimulation of the muscles and acupoints by the practitioner, the recovery of muscle fatigue is not only improved by circulation of the muscles, but also an effective recovery method I thought that there was no.
Furthermore, it was recognized that recovery from fatigue is also an important factor for mental recovery from fatigue, along with a decrease in physical function based on muscle fatigue.

  In view of such problems, the present invention promotes the discharge of carbon dioxide in the blood with the progress of massage when attempting to recover physical fatigue by massage, and also helps discharge of lactic acid accompanying the burning of glycogen, I thought that I would get even more massage effect.

  At the same time, by stimulating the sense of smell with a favorable scent to the human body and imparting the effect of negative ions, relaxing the mind contributes to the recovery of mental fatigue and, in turn, the recovery of overall fatigue as a whole. I thought it was a thing.

In order to achieve the above object, the high concentration oxygen gas supply method for a massage bed according to the present invention provides a high concentration for a massage bed for forming an atmosphere of high concentration oxygen gas at a position near the head placement of the massage bed. Oxygen gas supply method
A high-concentration oxygen gas is supplied from the high-concentration oxygen gas supply means 2 to the position near the head placement of the massage bed 1 via the conduit 3 to form an atmosphere of the high-concentration oxygen gas near the head of the massage therapist. ,
This is a measure taken.

It is comprised from these.

  According to the present invention, when recovering physical fatigue by massage, an atmosphere of high-concentration oxygen gas is formed in the vicinity of the head of the therapist in parallel with the treatment of the massage, and thus more than oxygen in the atmosphere. By allowing air to be inhaled in an oxygen-rich state and thus increasing the oxygen concentration in the blood when the therapist is not exercising (during massage), the discharge of carbon dioxide in the blood is reduced. Further, there is an advantage that the muscles are massaged with the treatment, the lactic acid produced with the tension is discharged, and a further massage effect is obtained.

  In addition, when using a massage bed with a through hole at the head placement position, during massage treatment in a prone state, the head and nose are positioned in the penetrating section in an easy posture from under the bed. Since high-concentration oxygen gas can be sucked, it is easy to breathe.

In carrying out the present invention, it is preferable that humidification means 5 for high-concentration oxygen gas is provided in the middle of the conduit 3. As the humidifying means 5, a spray method in which water is sprayed, or a method of adding moisture through a high-concentration oxygen gas to a water tank 5A as described later may be adopted.
Thus, appropriately adjusting the humidity of the high-concentration oxygen gas improves the discomfort during inspiration due to the absence of moisture in the high-concentration oxygen gas.

Further, the humidifying means 5 is composed of a water tank 5A, and a fragrance 6 is added to the water in the water tank 5A, so that aroma (uses a fragrance of each person's favorite) is added to the high-concentration oxygen gas. It is preferable to be configured to be given.
As a result, when inhaling high-concentration oxygen gas, the sense of smell can be stimulated to provide a mentally relaxed state.

Further, it is preferable that a tourmaline filtering means 7 is provided in the middle of the conduit 3.
Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of a negative ion is promoted and a suitable mood can be provided with the realistic effect.
