Description

  The present invention relates to a bust strength enhancing device particularly effective for bust-up.

  In human proportions (particularly), especially women's proportions, the shape of the bust (breast) is a major factor. Therefore, the interest and desire to keep this bust shape or to look beautiful is very strong.

  However, the bust loses tension with age and loses its shape. The main cause is muscle weakness with aging. A female bust with a large protrusion tends to hang down under the influence of gravity. If you have enough strength to resist the gravity, you can keep the bust from falling and keep it in good shape. However, muscle strength declines with age. When muscle strength declines, the bust hangs down due to gravity and loses its shape. This drooping due to gravity appears more prominently in bust that protrudes greatly.

  In order to maintain the shape of the bust, it is necessary to lift the bust against gravity, so-called bust up. The muscles responsible for this bust up are the small pectoral muscle and the large pectoral muscle.

  The small and large pectoral muscles are the major muscles of the chest. The small pectoral muscle is located between the mammary gland (breast) and the scapula, and the pectoralis major muscle is located between the mammary gland and the clavicle. The large muscle on the outermost layer of the chest is the great pectoral muscle, and the small pectoral muscle is hidden below it. Both muscles are connected. These muscles act to lift the bust against gravity. However, unlike the muscles responsible for arm and leg exercise, these muscles are hardly trained by normal exercise training that walks and runs.

  Movements such as walking, running, and waving arms are natural movements of human beings, and it is very effective and necessary to improve the quality of life to improve these motor skills. However, the muscles responsible for these exercises and the muscles responsible for the bust up are mutually independent muscles and are not particularly linked to each other. Exercises such as walking, running, and waving arms are routinely performed in daily life activities, so you can naturally train your muscles that are responsible for that exercise without being conscious of it. However, the muscles responsible for bust up, ie, the small pectoral muscles and the large pectoral muscles, are hardly trained by normal motor movements or daily living activities, and therefore cannot be prevented from declining with age.

Therefore, conventionally, bust up has been performed in the form of compensating for the weakened muscles. For example, a brassiere, which is a female innerwear, has a function as a bust correction device for adjusting the shape of a bust, although the original function is clothing. Many brass bra products have been developed that focus on the function of orthodontic appliances that maintain the shape of the bust. The brassiere as a bust correction device is based on a method of correcting the drooping by supporting the bust from below and adjusting the shape as described in Patent Document 1, for example. In other words, the bust that keeps the shape of the bust was performed by receiving the gravity that the bust received instead of the muscles.
JP2001-254205

  The conventional bust correction appliance represented by the brassiere only corrects the hanging of the bust with the support from the bottom, and the effect is naturally only at the time of wearing. If the orthosis is removed, the bust that has lost its support will naturally hang down naturally due to gravity.

  As mentioned above, the bust sag is related to the decline of the small pectoral muscle and the great pectoral muscle, so if this muscle can be strengthened, it will not be lifted artificially with a bust correction device such as a brassiere. However, it is possible to bust up in a natural state.

  However, as described above, the small pectoral muscle and the large pectoral muscle that provide a bust-up effect are muscles that are difficult to exercise, and in order to strengthen these muscles, hard training such as push-ups is performed. Needed to be done in large quantities. If you use a specialized facility such as a sports club, you can perform efficient muscle training, but in this case as well, it is the brachial muscle, deltoid muscle, trapezius muscle, etc. that are strengthened and trained, The small pectoral muscle and the large pectoral muscle do not have such a strong training effect for the intensity and amount of training.

  In addition, when trying to strengthen and train the small pectoral muscle and the large pectoral muscle by conventional exercise training, a problem arises that muscles at undesired sites are excessively developed. In other words, it is not a feminine proportion but a masculine muscular body. This is not desirable because it contradicts the feminine figure.

  Muscle strengthening training is performed by a pumping exercise that repeatedly stretches and contracts the muscles. The basics of exercise training such as push-ups and bench press are also pumping exercises. This pumping motion is also possible by applying periodic electrical stimulation. Muscles undergo an elastic response to electrical stimulation, and the repetition of the expansion and contraction caused by this electrical stimulation has an effect similar to that of a pumping exercise. It has been confirmed that this electrical stimulation method is effective when applied to the abdominal and thigh muscles.

  Therefore, it is conceivable to apply this electrical stimulation method to the small and large pectoral muscles. However, electrical stimulation to the small and great pectoral muscles located in the immediate vicinity of the heart carries a risk to the heart. For this reason, the electrical stimulation method cannot be applied to the enhancement training of the small pectoral muscle and the large pectoral muscle.

  The present invention has been made in view of the background as described above, and the object of the present invention is simple even without expensive training facilities or the like without carrying out hard training to bring a non-feminine muscular body shape. By simply attaching the brace and daily exercise, the pumping exercise, which is specifically effective for strengthening the small and large pectoral muscles, can be performed constantly. An object of the present invention is to provide a bust strength enhancing device that is capable of bust-up in a different natural state.

  Other objects and configurations of the present invention will become apparent from the description of the present specification and the accompanying drawings.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following means.

  (1) A device attached to the body for use on a body surface portion extending over a part on the small pectoral muscle and the large pectoral muscle and a part that moves in accordance with an arm swinging motion at a position different from this part. It is attached detachably along the arm, and by translating and transmitting the arm swing motion to the pumping motion of the small pectoralis muscle and the large pectoral muscle, it is possible to perform augmentation training of the pectoral muscle and the small pectoral muscle with the arm swing motion A bust strength enhancing brace.

  (5) In the above means (3) or (4), the intermediate fulcrum portion is set at a plurality of positions.

  Even in expensive training facilities, etc., you do not need hard training to bring about non-feminine muscular body shape. A pumping motion that is particularly effective can be performed constantly. As a result, it is possible to achieve a natural bust-up that is fundamentally different from a bust-up that is simply lifted artificially.

  Operations / effects other than those described above will be apparent from the description of the present specification and the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a bust strength enhancing device according to the present invention. In the figure, (a) shows the outer surface of the appliance, (b) shows the attachment surface on the back side, and (c) shows the use state.

  The bust strength strengthening device 10 of this embodiment is a belt-like body having a predetermined length made on the basis of a flexible sheet-like material, as shown in FIGS. An adhesive surface 21 made of a water-based adhesive is provided on one side, and is configured to be detachably attached to a female body surface. The sheet-like material is non-stretchable or weakly stretchable, and a woven or non-woven fabric, or a soft resin sheet or film is used. Moreover, you may comprise the whole raw material of the brace 10 with an adhesive material.

  As shown in FIG. 3C, the bust muscle strength enhancing device 10 of this embodiment is a body surface portion between a portion p1 on the small pectoralis muscle and the pectoralis major muscle and a portion p2 near the shoulder of the upper arm. The arm swinging motion is converted into a pumping motion of the small pectoralis muscle and the pectoral pectoral muscle and transmitted by being detachably attached along the belt shape.

  Specifically, as shown in the drawing, in a state where one end side 11 thereof is located at a part p1 on the small pectoral muscle and the great pectoral muscle, and the other end part 12 is located at a part p2 outside the upper arm near the shoulder part. Used attached.

  As described above, the bust strength enhancing device 10 according to the present invention can be easily worn and used by anyone simply by attaching it to a predetermined part of the body. In addition, when sleeping or taking a bath, it can be easily peeled off and removed.

  By mounting the appliance 10, the movement of the part p <b> 2 is transmitted to the part p <b> 1 through the appliance 10. The movement of the part p2 is caused by moving the arm back and forth, and the part p1 is pumped in such a way as to follow this back-and-forth movement (see arrows in the figure). As a result, the daily exercise of swinging the arm is converted to the small pectoralis and greater pectoral pumping exercises.

  The exercise of waving an arm is a very natural exercise that occurs with basic movements such as walking and running, in addition to moving the arm consciously. This movement is repeated continuously in daily life activities without any particular awareness. The energy of this constant repetitive movement is converted into small and large pectoral pumping movements, so that, for example, the effect of a pumping movement similar to that of a hard push-up movement is repeated continuously. Can be brought to the muscle.

  Therefore, without performing hard training that brings about a non-feminine muscular body shape in an expensive training facility or the like, the small pectoralis and large pectoral muscles can be easily installed by simple attachment of the brace 10 and daily exercise. A pumping motion that is specifically effective for strengthening training can be performed constantly. As a result, it is possible to achieve a natural bust-up that is fundamentally different from a bust-up that is simply lifted artificially.

  Although only one bust strength enhancing device 10 shown in FIG. 1 is shown, two are actually used for the left and right chests. The same applies to the embodiments described below.

  As the material for forming the adhesive surfaces 21 and 21, it is desirable that the material itself has an adhesive force, the peeled trace is clean, and the adhesive force is restored when washed. Specifically, an aqueous adhesive or an aqueous gel adhesive is suitable. As the water-based adhesive, for example, an acrylic ester base copolymerized with a surfactant, a vinyl caprolactam / acrylate copolymer, an acrylamide / acrylate copolymer, and the like are suitable.

  FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of a bust strength enhancing device according to the present invention. The basic principle of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment. Explaining only its characteristic configuration, as shown in the figure, the bust strength enhancing device 10 of this embodiment includes a part p1 on the small pectoral muscle and the pectoralis major muscle and an arm at a position different from this part p1. An intermediate fulcrum part p3 that changes the transmission direction of the movement is set between the part p2 that moves along with the swinging movement, and is attached to a belt-like part bent at the intermediate fulcrum part p3. The movement is changed in direction and transmitted to the small pectoral muscle and the great pectoral muscle (see arrows in the figure).

  For this reason, the orthosis 10 of this embodiment has comprised the strip | belt-shaped body bent in a substantially L shape so that the top view may be shown to the same figure. The L-shaped bent portion 13 is positioned at the intermediate fulcrum portion p3, and its one end side 11 is positioned at the site p1 and the other end side 12 is positioned at the site p2. .

  In this embodiment, the movement of the arm swing can be transmitted to the small pectoral muscle and the great pectoral muscle while changing the direction, so that the pumping movement is performed from a direction particularly suitable for strengthening training of the small pectoral muscle and the great pectoral muscle. It becomes possible. That is, it is possible to more efficiently convert the daily arm swing motion into the small pectoralis and large pectoral muscles.

  FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of a bust strength enhancing device according to the present invention. The basic principle of the third embodiment is the same as that of the second embodiment. If only the characteristic structure is demonstrated, as shown in the figure, the said intermediate fulcrum part p3 is set to the multiple position (2 places).

  The intermediate fulcrum part p3 is a part for changing the transmission direction of the movement, and the pumping movement transmitted to the part p1 on the small pectoral muscle and the great pectoral muscle by disposing the direction changing parts in a plurality of places. The mode can be optimized. Thereby, the muscular strength enhancing effect for obtaining the bust-up effect can be further enhanced.

  FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of a bust strength enhancing device according to the present invention. The basic principle of the fourth embodiment is the same as that of the third embodiment. Explaining only its characteristic configuration, the bust strength enhancing device 10 of this embodiment is attached along the parts p21 to p23 that span the upper arm part and the shoulder part through the intermediate fulcrum part p3 as shown in FIG. And a second motion transmission band 102 for transmitting motion from the first motion transmission band 101 to the part p1 on the small pectoralis muscle and greater pectoral muscle. Yes.

  In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, three second motion transmission band portions 102 are provided, and two shoulder portions and one upper arm portion close to the shoulder portions, that is, a total of three portions, that is, apart from each other. By transmitting the motions generated at the three sites p21 to p23 to each other, a pumping motion is generated at the site p1 on the small pectoral muscle and the greater pectoral muscle (see arrows in the figure). Thereby, it becomes possible to further optimize the mode of the pumping exercise transmitted to the small pectoralis muscle and the pectoralis major muscle, and the muscular strength enhancing effect for obtaining the bust-up effect can be further enhanced. Note that the number of the second motion transmission band portions 102 is not limited to three, and may be one or four or more.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on the typical Example, this invention can have various aspects other than having mentioned above. For example, the bust strength enhancing device of the present invention may be configured in a state of being incorporated in clothing such as a brassiere.

  Even in expensive training facilities, etc., you do not need hard training to bring about non-feminine muscular body shape. A pumping motion that is particularly effective can be performed constantly. As a result, it is possible to achieve a natural bust-up that is fundamentally different from a bust-up that is simply lifted artificially.
