Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement in a magnetic therapy device that is attached to limbs, shoulders, and the like to eliminate muscle pain and stiff shoulders.

  Conventionally, this type of magnetic therapy device has been developed in various structures and shapes. For example, there are devices in which one or several magnet pieces are attached to an adhesive sheet. However, in such a structure, since the magnet piece is pressed to a predetermined portion of the skin surface and pressed, the range in which the magnetic field acts becomes narrow and steady, and effects such as promoting blood circulation are obtained. There is a problem that it is small.

On the other hand, as described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a magnetic therapy device has been developed in which a magnet piece is housed in a hollow container so as to be freely movable. That is, the magnetic therapy device described in Patent Document 1 is configured such that a spherical magnet is slidably accommodated in a hollow flat container, and the magnetic therapy device described in Patent Document 2 is included in a hollow annular body. Similarly, it has a structure in which a spherical magnet is accommodated so as to be rotatable in the circumferential direction.

  However, in the magnetic therapy device in which the spherical magnet is accommodated in the hollow container as described above, since the magnet is formed in a spherical shape, the movement in the container is performed by rolling, so that this spherical shape is The direction of the lines of magnetic force radiated from the magnet and the magnetic field continuously change, and the amount of magnetism radiated in the direction perpendicular to the skin surface is reduced and the penetration depth is shallow, so that it is hardly expected to promote blood circulation etc. There is a problem.

  Furthermore, although the spherical magnet rolls freely in the container, since the space portion occupied by the spherical magnet with respect to the space area of the container is small, the portion on which the magnetic force acts is narrow regardless of the size of the container. The magnetism cannot be effectively applied over the entire skin surface in contact with the skin. In addition, when the spherical magnet is rolled in the container, there is a problem that an impulsive sound is generated with the inner wall surface of the container, which is annoying.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to always change the direction of the magnetic force to the skin surface even though the magnet moves in the container and the magnetic field fluctuates.
