The best embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiment described below is merely an example embodying the present invention, and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a heating tool according to one embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, a heating tool 1 according to this embodiment is provided with a salve layer 5 by application on the skin contact surface of a rectangular bag 2 having a length of 10 cm and a width of 14 cm, for example, and iron powder is formed inside the bag 2. A heating material 3 that generates heat in contact with air such as activated carbon is enclosed. Further, the salve layer 5 contains an active ingredient of the salve, and further includes a tackifier, and therefore has adhesiveness to the skin. A release sheet 6 is stuck on the surface of the salve layer 5. These heating tool 1 and release sheet 6 are accommodated in a non-breathable outer bag 4.

  The exothermic agent 3 enclosed in the bag body 2 may be a generally known composition blended so as to generate heat in contact with oxygen. For example, 50 parts by weight or more and 60 parts by weight or less of iron powder, activated carbon 5 It contains from 1 to 5 parts by weight of wood flour, from 1 to 5 parts by weight of wood flour, from 20 to 25 parts by weight of water, and from 2 to 5 parts by weight of salts.

The bag 2 is a laminate of a synthetic resin nonwoven fabric exterior (not shown) and a porous synthetic resin film interior such as a porous polyethylene film (not shown), and the thickness of the laminate is, for example, 30 μm to 200 μm, preferably 50 μm to 100 μm. The surface of the bag body 2 that does not come into contact with the skin is made of a material that has been adjusted so as to have appropriate air permeability. This is because when the temperature of the heat generating material 3 rises more than necessary and the heating tool 1 is directly applied to the skin for a long time, the part does not become low temperature burns. Specifically, adjustment is performed so that a temperature of about 38 degrees to 43 degrees can be maintained for about 12 hours, for example. For this reason, for example, the pore diameter of the porous synthetic resin film is set to 1 μm or more and 5 μm or less. In addition, the number of seconds that air 100 cc passes through the film (seconds / 100 cc) (Oken (Oji Paper Co., Ltd. Research Laboratories) type air permeability measuring device (Asahi Seiko Co., Ltd., Oken Air Permeability Machine) The aeration rate represented by (3) is 30,000 seconds / 100 cc or more and 50,000 seconds / 100 cc or less.

The composition constituting the base material of the salve layer 5 is not particularly limited as long as it is generally used for commercially available salves. For example, polyacrylic acid, sodium polyacrylate, agar, gelatin, alginic acid Hydrophilic bases such as sodium, carboxymethylcellulose and polyvinyl alcohol, moisturizers such as glycerin and propylene glycol, wet solubilizers such as purified water, inorganic fillers such as kaolin, bentonite, zinc oxide and aluminum chloride, crosslinking agents, natural Rubber oily polymers such as rubber, synthetic polyisoprene rubber and polyisobutylene, liquid paraffin, polybutene, liquid polyisobutylene, softeners such as animal and vegetable oils, tackifiers such as pine tar, anti-aging agents, etc. Is mentioned. The thickness of the salve layer 5 is preferably about 5 μm to 200 μm, more preferably about 10 μm to 50 μm.

  Among the above compositions, hydrophilic bases such as polyacrylic acid, rubber-based oily polymers such as natural rubber and synthetic polyisoprene rubber, softeners such as liquid paraffin, and tackifiers such as pine tar are applied to the skin. It is a component comprised in order to generate | occur | produce the adhesiveness of.

And as an active ingredient of the salve contained in the salve layer 5, indomethacin, felbinac, ketoprofen, piroxicam, methyl salicylate, L menthol, etc., which are commonly used in commercially available salves are mentioned. Furthermore, components derived from chili extract, chili powder, plum extract, plum powder, loquat extract, or loquat powder can be used. The various extracts and powders are those that are commercially available as pepper extract, pepper powder, plum extract, plum powder, loquat extract, loquat powder, or those extracted from chili, plum, and loquat, respectively, or Use crushed pepper, plum meat, loquat leaves or seeds. The above-mentioned pepper extract and powder are added in an amount of 0.01 to 5% by weight based on the base material of the salve layer 5. When the component derived from chili is less than 0.01% by weight, the warm sensation is weak and the required warm sensation stimulating effect cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when the amount exceeds 5 parts by weight, combined with the heat generation action of the heat generating material 3, the skin at the site where the heating device 1 is brought into contact causes inflammation such as rash and pain. Moreover, 10-20 weight% is added with respect to the base material of the salve layer 5 for a plum extract and a plum powder. Furthermore, 10 to 20% by weight of loquat powder and loquat extract are similarly added to the base material of the salve layer 5. When the amount of ume and loquat-derived components is less than 10 parts by weight, the effect of adding ume and loquat is drastically reduced, and when the amount is greater than 20 parts by weight, the viscosity of the salve layer 5 becomes too low and is brought into contact with the skin. It feels sticky.

A release sheet 6 is adhered to the upper surface of the salve layer 5. As the release sheet 6, a commercially available product can be used. That is, a resin film made of polyester, nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene, vinyl chloride or the like, aluminum foil, paper, or the like is subjected to a release treatment such as silicon, and a thickness of about 20 μm to 150 μm is used. Is done.

The non-breathable outer bag 4 is composed of, for example, a vinylidene chloride film, polyethylene, and an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer laminate having oxygen barrier properties, and the ends of the four sides are completely sealed to block air. ing.

  The operation of the heating tool 1 will be described below. When the heating tool 1 having the above-described configuration is taken out from the non-breathable outer bag 4, air enters the bag body 2 and contacts the heating element 3 to cause the heating material 3 to generate heat. Then, when the release sheet 6 attached to the salve layer 5 is peeled and the heating tool 1 is brought into direct contact with the skin of a predetermined part of the body, the part is warmed. At this time, the active ingredient of the salve contained in the salve layer 5 penetrates into the body from the skin surface. Thereby, various effects by the plaster are obtained, and since the temperature of the part is actually increased by the heat generating material 3, the various effects bring about a larger effect. Furthermore, the heating tool 1 according to the present invention is small in size and does not require a large-scale device, and can easily and easily enjoy the effects of heat and extract and powder not only at home but also on the go.

In particular, when an ingredient derived from chili extract or chili powder is used as an active ingredient of the salve, since the chili extract or chili powder contains “capsaicin”, which is a spicy ingredient, the blood flow is improved. Relieve pain and stiffness in the area. In addition, capsaicin has effects such as promoting the secretion of lipolytic hormones to increase oxygen consumption and increase body temperature, and the effect of the heat generating material 3 due to the heat of the part can be more effectively performed. .

In addition, when using a plum extract or a component derived from plum powder as an active ingredient of the salve, the plum extract or plum powder contains organic acids and minerals such as citric acid and malic acid at a very high ratio. Therefore, the immune function of the body can be strengthened, and the medicinal effect and efficacy as an alkaline food can be imparted.

Further, when loquat extract or loquat powder derived component is used as the active ingredient of the salve, the loquat extract or loquat powder includes glucose, sucrose, sweetened, maltose, starch, dextrin, tartaric acid, citric acid, malic acid, amygdalin. In particular, tannic acid is abundant in loquat seeds and leaves. In particular, when amygdalin (vitamin B17) is warmed and penetrates into the body, it is hydrolyzed by a special enzyme called beta-glucosidase contained in large amounts in cancer cells, and cyanide and benzaldehyde are released. It becomes. However, it has been found that cancer cells are destroyed and disappeared by the two-component synergistic toxins, and clinical applications as cancer therapeutic agents are actually made. Amygdalin is effective against low back pain, stiff shoulders, coldness, dermatitis, hypertension, diabetes, rheumatism, and even has a blood purification effect that makes the blood alkaline. Furthermore, amygdalin is abundant in seeds, that is, loquat seeds contain hundreds of times more amygdalin than loquat leaves. It can be used effectively.

Moreover, since the salve layer 5 containing the tackifier as described above has adhesiveness to the skin, the thermal device 1 can be easily adhered to a predetermined part of the body and contained in the salve layer 5. Extracts or powders can efficiently penetrate into the skin.

  In the above embodiment, the heating tool 1 has a rectangular shape with a length of 10 cm and a width of 14 cm. However, the present invention is not limited to these, and the heating tool 1 may be of other sizes and shapes as long as it can be worn. Good. The surface of the bag body 2 that does not come into contact with the skin is composed of a laminate of a synthetic resin nonwoven fabric and a porous film, but a different type of non-porous synthetic resin is laminated with a synthetic resin nonwoven fabric in place of the porous film. Etc. may be used. Examples of the different types of synthetic resins include nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene, EVA and the like. In this case, since the bag body 2 becomes highly airtight, a predetermined number of minute holes are formed on the surface opposite to the contact surface of the bag body 2 with the skin so as to provide air permeability. In the case of such a structure, the cost may be kept low.

  Moreover, like the heating tool 1a shown in FIG. 2, the salve layer 5a may not have adhesiveness to the skin. In this case, since it is not necessary to attach the release sheet 6 to the salve layer 5a, the salve layer 5a and the non-breathable outer bag 4 can be in direct contact with each other. Moreover, when providing the salve layers 5 and 5a on the contact surface of the bag body 2 with the skin, a sheet made of synthetic resin or paper is interposed between the outer surface of the bag body 2 and the salve layers 5 and 5a. Also good.

Examples of the present invention are shown below.

(11.0 g in total).

The plaster layer 4 is composed of 100 parts by weight of styrene-isoprene-styrene teleblock copolymer, 10 parts by weight of styrene-isoprene copolymer, 150 parts by weight of liquid paraffin, 50 parts by weight of rosin-modified maleic resin and 54 parts by weight of loquat extract. It heated to 140-150 degreeC in the gas stream, and was dissolved. The loquat extract contained in the salve layer 4 is obtained by conventional extraction treatment of the crushed loquat species with a solvent such as ethanol. After cooling the above-mentioned dissolved product (about 150 ° C.) to about 120 ° C., 30 parts by weight of methyl salicylate and 21 parts by weight of L menthol were added and mixed to make uniform. This was spread to a thickness of about 1 mm on the contact surface of the bag body 2 with the spreader using a spreader to form a salve layer 5. The plaster layer 5 was covered with a release sheet 6 having a thickness of 50 μm obtained by applying a silicone-based release treatment to a nylon sheet, and was composed of a laminate of a vinylidene chloride film, polyethylene, and an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer. It was enclosed in a non-breathable outer bag 4.

When the heating tool 1 obtained as described above was heated and pasted to a predetermined part of the body, the heat generating material 3 increased the body temperature of the part and enjoyed the effect of the salve component. In particular, amygdalin in loquat extract derived from loquat seeds contained in the salve layer 5 can provide various effects such as low back pain, and can effectively use loquat seeds that are not originally useful and discarded as garbage etc. did it.
