Description

  The present invention relates to a health promoting device excellent in design that can be easily attached to and detached from a garment strap.

  Various devices have been used in the past to eliminate stiff shoulders and headaches. Among them, wearing a necklace or bracelet with a permanent magnet or germanium is prevalent. However, necklaces and bracelets with permanent magnets and germanium attached are relatively large and have a low degree of freedom in design, so they are not particularly preferred by young women.

  Therefore, recently, it has been proposed to directly attach a permanent magnet or germanium to the underwear. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-105512 (Patent Document 1) discloses a T-shirt or an open shirt in which a magnetic body that generates a magnetic line of force effective in relaxing a stiff shoulder is attached to the shoulder. The method of attaching the magnetic material is a method of thermal transfer by sandwiching the magnetic material between the shoulder portion of the T-shirt and the stretchable thermal transfer sheet, or by packing the magnetic material in a bag-like fabric and shouldering the T-shirt. This is a method of suturing to the part. However, if the magnetic material is fixed to a T-shirt or open shirts, the magnetic material must be discarded along with the life of clothing, which is wasteful.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-20904 (Patent Document 2) proposes to attach a magnet body to a shoulder strap of a brassiere. Since the shoulder strap equipped with the magnet body is detachable from the brassiere, it has the advantage that it does not need to be discarded when the brassiere body is consumed. However, it takes time and effort to attach the magnet body to the shoulder strap of the brassiere, and there is a problem that the replacement of the shoulder strap is troublesome.

  As a garment itself, a commercially available product is used, and as a member for detachably attaching a magnet thereto, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-210025 (Patent Document 3) describes a taper napper, a net-like knitted fabric and a magnet having the same width and different lengths. Proposal of stiff shoulder-free goods that can be easily removed from the strap of the brassiere by sewing or welding. Since this is detachable from a commercially available garment, it has the advantage that it does not have to be discarded when the garment is consumed. However, since it is a system in which the strap of the brassiere is sandwiched and fixed with a taper napper, it has a disadvantage that it looks like a bandage when attached and is unpleasant.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a health promotion tool that can be easily and detachably locked to a commercially available garment strap and that is excellent in design.

  As a result of diligent research in view of the above object, the present inventors can detachably and easily engage with a garment strap and fix the health promoting functional member to an S-shaped support body excellent in appearance. In addition to being able to be worn on a commercially available garment as appropriate, it was discovered that it looks good when worn, and the present invention was conceived.

That is, the health promotion device of the present invention has an S-shaped support that can be detachably locked to a strap of clothing, and at least one health promotion functional member fixed to the inner surface of the support. To do.

  The S-shaped support body includes a central portion for fixing the health promotion functional member, first and second locking portions extending in parallel on both sides of the central portion, one end of the central portion, and the first It is preferable that the first web portion integrally connecting the second locking portion and the second web portion integrally connecting the other end of the central portion and the second locking portion. . The S-shaped support is preferably curved inward. The S-shaped support is preferably made of a material that does not cause an allergic reaction to the body (for example, titanium). The health promoting functional member is preferably a permanent magnet, germanium or natural ore.

  The S-shaped support for fixing the health promotion functional member can be easily and detachably locked to a commercially available strap of clothing, and is excellent in design, so it does not need to be discarded due to wear of the clothing. Also, it looks good when worn, so you can wear it without worrying even when wearing clothes that allow you to see your shoulders. In addition, when the garment with the health promotion device of the present invention is worn, the position of the health promotion device does not shift, so that the desired acupoint can be stimulated firmly.

[1] First Embodiment FIGS. 1 to 5 show a health promoting device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. This health promotion tool includes an S-shaped support 1 and one health promotion functional member 2. The S-shaped support body 1 includes a central portion 11 for fixing the health promotion functional member 2, first and second locking portions 12 and 13 extending in parallel on both sides of the central portion 11, and the central portion 11. A first web portion 14 that integrally connects one end and the first locking portion 12, and a second web portion that integrally links the other end of the central portion 11 and the second locking portion 13. It consists of 15. Protruding portions 12a and 13a extending toward the central portion 11 are integrally provided at the tips of the locking portions 12 and 13, respectively. The S-shaped support 1 is chamfered with rounded corners so as not to hurt the skin or feel pain when worn in a state of being locked to clothing.

  As apparent from FIGS. 3 and 4, the S-shaped support body 1 is curved so as to be concave on the inner side (the side on which the health promotion functional member 2 is attached). When the S-shaped support 1 is curved, the health promotion functional member 2 is in good contact with the skin. In particular, when positioning the health promotion tool on the shoulder, the S-shaped support 1 follows the shoulder curve, so that the feeling of wearing is good.

  As is clear from FIGS. 4 and 5, in order to accurately position the health promotion functional member 2, the inner surface of the central portion 11 of the S-shaped support 1 is sized to receive the health promotion functional member 2. The recess 11a is provided. The recess 11a also functions as a reservoir for adhesive and brazing material.

  The S-shaped support 1 has (a) sufficient rigidity to be firmly fixed to the strap when worn on a clothing strap, (b) does not cause an allergic reaction to the body, and (c) when worn. If there is no aesthetic problem, it may be formed of any material. Specifically, it is preferably formed of an inert metal or alloy such as stainless steel, titanium, gold, silver, or platinum, or a plastic such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or nylon. Of these, pure titanium is preferred because it is the least susceptible to allergic reactions, does not rust, and is a lightweight metal. In order to make it the same as the skin color, a plastic that is easily colored is preferable.

  The health promotion functional member 2 preferably has a spherical upper surface 2a and a conical side surface 2b. Since the upper surface 2a of the health promotion functional member 2 is in contact with the skin, a sense of incongruity is eliminated by making it spherical. The material for the health promotion functional member 2 is natural ore such as tourmaline, pine ore (quartz andesite), titanium oxide, hematite, silica ore in addition to permanent magnets and germanium which are said to have a health promotion function. Is preferred. As the permanent magnet, any ferrite magnet, Nd—Fe—B magnet, Sm—Co magnet, Sm—Fe—N magnet, etc. can be used. Germanium is metal germanium.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in order to manufacture the health promoting device of the present invention, first, a small amount of adhesive (or brazing material) 16 is formed in the concave portion 11a of the central portion 11 of the S-shaped support body 1 processed into the illustrated shape. Then, the health promotion functional member 2 is pressed against the adhesive 16. The adhesive 16 spreads in the recess 11a and comes into contact with the entire bottom surface of the health promotion functional member 2. If the amount of the adhesive 16 is too much, it overflows to the side of the functional member 2, so the adhesive 16 must be adjusted to an appropriate amount. As the adhesive 16, (a) the fixing strength of the functional member 2 is sufficient, (b) has sufficient weather resistance, water resistance and durability, and (c) does not deteriorate the appearance of the health promoting device. Anything can be used.

  The health promotion functional member 2 is not limited to the above shape, and may have, for example, a conical upper surface 2a 'having a large apex angle and a conical side surface 2b having a small apex angle, as shown in FIG. If the upper surface 2a is conical, it makes point contact with the skin, so a greater health promotion effect can be expected.

  The manner in which the health promotion tool of the present invention is attached to the strap of clothing will be described with reference to FIGS. The garment strap 3 is inserted into the gap between the central part 11 and the first locking part 12 through the opening 12b and into the gap between the central part 11 and the second locking part 13 through the opening 13b. When the strap 3 is tensioned, it is in a bent state as shown in FIG. 8, so that the health promoting tool is firmly fixed to the strap 3 and the health promoting functional member 2 comes into contact with the skin 5.

[2] Second Embodiment In the second embodiment of the present invention, the S-shaped support body 1 of the health promotion tool is not curved. Since the other structure is the same as that of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted. When the S-shaped support 1 is linearly flat, the health promotion functional member 2 comes into stronger contact with the skin when the S-shaped support 1 is attached to the strap 3 of clothing. Therefore, it is effective when it is desired to obtain a strong health promotion effect.

[3] Third Embodiment In the second embodiment of the present invention, there are a plurality of health promotion functional members 2 fixed to the S-shaped support 1. In the illustrated example, three health promotion functional members 2 are attached to the central portion 11 of the S-shaped support 1. Because there are many health promotion functional members 2, great health promotion can be expected. In this example, since the health promotion device is wide, it is suitable for being attached to a wide strap.

  As described above, since the health promotion device of the present invention is firmly fixed to the strap of the clothing, the health promotion functional member can be brought into contact with a desired position on the skin and the health promotion effect can be reliably obtained. The health promotion device of the present invention that exhibits such an effect is suitable for use by being attached to a strap such as a brassiere, camisole, or running.
