Description

  The present invention relates to a device configured such that a user presses a pot (a saddle point or acupuncture point) on the back of a body using his / her body weight.

The present inventor has been suffering from stiff shoulders, low back pain and the like for a long time since his youth. And many trials and errors have been repeated in order to solve the problem.
I tried treatments such as massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, and orthopedic surgery, but it was not completely cured. In addition, there was an economic difficulty that the treatment cost a lot of money. In addition, for devices that do not require the hands of others such as massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, and orthopedic surgery, devices that physically press the affected area using a small motor or the like as a power source, or treatment machines that apply AC high voltage to the body However, these are very expensive and cannot be easily purchased and used continuously at home.

Therefore, a technique that allows the user to press the crucible using his / her body weight has been created as an inexpensive way to avoid the above-mentioned difficulties. The inventor has conducted research focusing on this point.
Patent Document 1 discloses an example of the related art. This document describes a technique for correcting spinal distortion and the like during sleep by supine on a main body having a large number of wart-shaped small protrusions on the entire upper surface. However, the wart-shaped projections are not made to hit all of the main crucibles on the back of the body and are not removable, so that the crucible that the user wants (for example, shoulder stiffness) It is not possible to use it to stimulate the crucible or just the crucible for back pain, and it is also possible to stop the stimulation to the crucible and only to shape the spine. Can not.

  There exists patent document 2 as what made it stimulate all the crucibles in a part of the body. This one is placed on a plate with a protrusion to push the pot at the position of the pot on the sole of the foot and presses the pot using its own weight, but it is pushed by the foot Because it is only a pot on the back of the back, you can never lie on top of this foot pot health device and push the pot on the back of the body.

Another example is Patent Document 3. This discloses a technique in which the intensity of stimulation can be adjusted in accordance with the symptoms of a patient with back pain by adjusting the height of a pot for giving stimulation to the acupuncture points of the waist. However, since this acupuncture pad is provided only in one position that matches the waist vase, this is also used for all the vases at the position desired by the user on the back of the body. It is not possible to use it to give the stimulus of the strength that the person wants, and even more, it is surprising to stop using the stimuli on the pot and just shape the spine.
Registered Utility Model No. 3036915 Utility Model Registration No. 3083681 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 64-46022

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the user uses his / her body weight, and easily, from time to time, out of all the acupuncture points on the back, he / she wants (for example, only a crucible for a stiff shoulder or a back pain) A device that can easily give the stimuli of the strength you want to the other (only the vase), or can simply stop the irritation of the vase and simply shape the spine at an inexpensive price. It is to provide.

The user can use his / her body weight to easily stimulate any one of the acupuncture points on the back (for example, only a crucible for stiff shoulders or only a crucible for low back pain). Therefore, the present invention is composed of a main body and a crucible presser, and the main body exists on the entire upper surface of the body on the upper surface of a non-soft plate-like body formed in a curved surface closely contacting the back surface of a normal body. The crucible presser insert hole is provided in each position opposite to all the main crucibles to be performed ", and the crucible presser is" a leg portion that can be removably inserted into the insert hole and a head portion connected thereto. Have ".
By this means, it has become possible not only to stimulate the desired crucible but also to stop the stimulation at all and to simply shape the spine.

  There is a subtle individual difference depending on the user as to the position of the vase where to press best. In order to be able to freely select the optimum crucible position corresponding to the individual difference, the present invention provides a plurality of crucible presser insertion holes for each crucible at and near the crucible position. "Each one is provided".

  In order to provide a stimulus of the optimum strength desired by a crucible that one desires (for example, only a crucible for stiff shoulders or only a crucible for low back pain), the present invention provides “ Of a plurality of different heights, shapes or top areas ”.

  In order to prevent the crucible presser inserted into the crucible presser insertion hole from slipping off, the present invention provides an “opening in which the leg of the crucible presser can be inserted into the crucible presser insertion hole. And a cavity extending continuously therebelow, a locking piece projecting laterally is provided on the leg portion of the crucible presser, and a locking shoulder is formed on the periphery of the opening, whereby the crucible presser The locking piece of the crucible presser inserted into the insertion hole can be locked by the locking shoulder ”.

  In order to ensure that the crucible presser insertion hole is closed whenever the crucible presser is removed, the present invention “stores the obturator in which the elastic body is connected to the lower end of the lid piece in the crucible presser insertion hole. The upper surface of the lid piece is substantially flush with the upper surface of the plate-like body when the urn presser is not inserted, and the opening is closed ”.

  The present invention provides a crucible at each position on the upper surface of a non-soft plate-like body formed in a curved surface in close contact with the back of a normal body and facing all the main crucibles existing on the entire back of the body. Since the "presser insertion hole is provided", the user can select a desired crucible for all of the main crucibles existing on the entire back surface of the body and give a stimulus thereto. In addition, since the vase pressing element has “a leg portion that can be inserted into and removed from the insertion hole and a head portion connected to the insertion hole”, the user can insert and remove the vase pressing element very easily at any time. From all the main vases that exist, you can freely choose only what you want and give you the stimulation of the strength you want. Of course, all of the main vases may be stimulated at once, or all of the vases may not be stimulated.

  Furthermore, since the main body is made of “a non-soft plate-like body formed on a curved surface that is in close contact with the back of a normal body”, if all the urn pressers are pulled out and laid on top of it, it will be distorted simply by continuing the state. You can shape the spine and correct the distorted spine to its normal shape.

  According to the present invention, "a plurality of crucible pressing element insertion holes are provided for each crucible at and near the position of the crucible", so that the crucible provided at a general crucible position at first. Insert the vase presser into the presser insertion hole and lie on top of it to check the condition. If not, remove it and reinsert the vase presser into the adjacent vault presser insertion hole. Try. If the optimal position for the person is found in this way, anyone can easily give the most effective stimulus to the optimal pot for him.

  Symptoms such as stiff shoulders and low back pain vary from person to person and vary widely. There are cases where it is better to press a narrow area sharply, and cases where it is better to press a large area bluntly. Moreover, there are cases where it is desired to press deeply, and there are cases where it is desired to press shallowly. In the present invention, since the vase pressing element has a plurality of heads having different heights, shapes, or areas of the top of the head, the user can freely and optimally stimulate in accordance with his / her symptoms. You can choose a crucible presser that you can receive.

  When you lie on your body with the vase presser inserted naked, or when you get up, the vase presser sticks to your back, or when the main unit is tilted for movement. The crucible presser tends to fall out of the crucible presser insertion hole. Therefore, in the present invention, “the crucible presser insertion hole is composed of an opening that can be inserted into the leg part of the crucible presser and a hollow part that extends below the opening, and laterally extends to the leg part of the crucible presser. An overhanging locking piece is provided, a locking shoulder is formed at the periphery of the opening, and the locking piece of the crucible presser inserted into the crucible pressing element insertion hole can be locked by the locking shoulder. To prevent such problems from occurring.

  When lying on the main body from which the pot pressing element has been removed, if the pot pressing element insertion hole remains open, only the opening portion does not come into close contact with the back surface of the body, resulting in a feeling of strangeness. Also, dust may enter from there. According to the present invention, “a closing member in which an elastic body is connected to the lower end of the lid piece is stored in the crucible pressing element insertion hole, and when the crucible pressing element is not inserted, the upper surface of the lid piece is substantially the same as the upper surface of the plate-shaped body. This problem can also be solved because the openings are flush with each other and close the opening.

As is clear from the above description, the greatest advantage of the present invention is that the user selects the vase where the user desires for any of the main vases on the back, and has the strength as desired. It is the point which can give a stimulus or not.
Moreover, since the present invention does not require the help of others, unlike the prior art, and does not use complicated and precise mechanical devices or expensive AC high-voltage treatment machines, it can be implemented at a very low cost. it can. The production cost of the device embodying the invention is also kept very low, and even when used, it is only necessary to insert or remove the crucible presser into the insertion hole, which is very simple and anyone can do.

  The upper surface of the non-soft plate-like body is formed into a curved surface that is in close contact with the back surface of a normal body, and the crucible is pressed to each position on the curved surface that is opposed to all the main crucibles that exist on the entire back surface of the body A main body provided with a child insertion hole, a leg part that can be inserted into and removed from the insertion hole, and a crucible presser having a head connected to the leg part. A plurality of crucibles are provided at the position of the crucible and in the vicinity thereof, and the crucible presser is a plurality of crucibles having different head heights, shapes, or top areas.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a view showing a cross section of a main body 5 obtained by cutting a crucible presser insertion hole 4 arranged in the vicinity of the spine and a side surface of the crucible presser 3 in an example of the crucible pressing machine according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing the relationship between the profile of the cross section of the main body 5 viewed from the side and the spine of the user, and FIG. 3 shows all the positions of the main general vases existing on the entire back surface of the body. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment in which a part of the plate-like body 1 is enlarged, and a side view of another embodiment of the crucible presser 3 and an embodiment of the obturator 14. FIG. FIG. 5 is a side view showing several other embodiments of the crucible presser.

The plate-like body 1 may be a single plate as shown in FIG. 1, or may be made by sheet metal processing or injection molding as shown in FIG.
As the material of the plate-like body 1, FRP (fiber reinforced plastic), wood, hard plastic, or the like is used. Without a certain degree of hardness, the body sinks when it is supine on it, and the effect of correcting the spine is diminished. Therefore, it is important to use a material whose upper surface 2 is not soft. And the upper surface 2 is formed in the curved surface closely_contact | adhered to the back surface of a normal body, as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. Specifically, for example, if the spine is a depression that is filled with a normal spine, and a user whose back is bent back and forth or left and right is lying on it, It is formed into a curved surface so that its spine can be shaped and corrected naturally.
The size of the plate-like body 1 is assumed to be that of an average adult. Some physique and height differences can be covered by it, but for those who are much larger or smaller than the average, a size suitable for those persons will be prepared separately.

  As shown by black dots in FIG. 3, the upper surface 2 of the plate-like body 1 has crucibles as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 4 at positions corresponding to all of the main crucibles existing on the entire back surface of the body. A presser insertion hole 4 or 41 is provided. The diameter and depth of the insertion hole 4 or 41 are such that the leg 6 of the crucible presser 3 to be described in detail later can be easily inserted into and removed from the cavity 11 of the insertion hole 4 or 41, and when inserted, the crucible presser is inserted. The lower edge of the head 3 is in contact with the upper surface 2 of the plate-like body 1 (see the state on the right side in FIG. 4), and the size and depth do not fluctuate in the hole 4 or 41. There is a need. When the user lies on his back, if the lower edge of the head 7 is separated from the upper surface 2 and the urn presser 3 swings in the hole, the urn cannot be properly stimulated. It is. In addition, although the bottomed insertion hole 4 is shown in the drawing, it does not have to be bottomed as long as the structure satisfies the above requirements.

  A plurality of crucible presser insertion holes 4 or 41 are provided for each crucible at the position of the crucible and in the vicinity thereof. As for the position of the vase, various special pots are widely known. However, in a standard vase pressing machine, the most commonly known vase position is usually selected, and there are a plurality of vats in the vicinity of the position. Provide one by one. Then, you can deal with various special pots. For special crucibles that still cannot be accommodated, another plate-like body 1 is prepared and a crucible presser insertion hole adapted thereto is provided.

  The crucible presser insertion hole 4 is not limited to that shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, it is composed of an opening 10 that can be inserted into the leg portion 6 of the crucible presser 3 and a bottomed cavity portion 11 that is continuous with the opening 10. By forming the portion 9, the locking piece 8 of the crucible pressing element 31 inserted into the crucible pressing element insertion hole 41 can be locked by the locking shoulder 9. When they are structured as shown in the figure, when the crucible presser 31 shown in the center of FIG. 4 is pushed down vertically, the locking piece 8 passes through the gap of the locking shoulder 9 and goes deep into the insertion hole 41. It is inserted, and the lower edge of the head 7 of the pot pressing element 31 can be brought into contact with the upper surface 2 of the plate-like body 1. When the crucible presser 31 is rotated in this state, the locking piece 8 is firmly locked to the locking shoulder 9 as shown on the right side of FIG. Needless to say, other locking mechanisms (not shown) may be employed for this locking.

Wood, aluminum, stainless steel, FRP (fiber reinforced plastic), hard rubber, hard plastic, or the like is used as the material for the vase pushers 3 and 31. The leg portion 6 has such a size that it can be easily inserted into the opening 10 of the crucible presser insertion hole 4 or 41 and is in the insertion hole 4 so as not to move loosely. The length is set such that the lower edge of the head 7 can be brought into close contact with the upper surface 2 of the plate 1 when inserted into the insertion hole 4 or 41. The head 7, the leg 6, and the locking piece 8 may be molded integrally or may be assembled separately.
The leg portion 6 can be provided not only with the shape shown in FIG. 1 but also with a locking piece 8 projecting sideways as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. As described above, the crucible presser 31 can be inserted into the crucible presser insertion hole 41 and locked so as not to move.
Further, the surface of the head 7 can be covered with cloth, rubber, soft plastic or the like as required.

The head 7 of the vase pusher 3 is shown in FIG. 5 (a) 71 and 72 (b) 72 so that the user can freely select the optimum vase pusher according to his / her symptoms. As shown in 73 of (c), a plurality of items having different heights, shapes, or areas of the crown can be prepared.
If the head 7 and the leg 6 are made separately and are structured so that they can be screwed together, a plurality of types of heads 7, 71, 72, 73, etc. are optionally screwed on the same leg 6 and replaced. And the number of legs 6 can be reduced.

  Wood, aluminum, stainless steel, FRP (fiber reinforced plastic), hard rubber, hard plastic, or the like is used as the material of the lid piece 12 of the obturator 14. An elastic body 13 is connected to the lower end of the lid piece 12. As the elastic body 13, an elastic material such as a helical spring shown in FIG. 4 or a rubber column is used. Then, the entire structure of the obturator 14 is formed by using various conventional means, and when the crucible presser is not inserted, the upper surface of the lid piece is substantially flush with the upper surface of the plate-like body, and the opening is closed. Configure as follows.
