Description

  The present invention relates to a container for a magnetic therapy device having excellent magnetic shielding properties.

  Conventionally, magnetic treatment for treating stiff shoulders and back pain by applying a magnetic force to a human body has been widely performed. For the magnetic therapy, for example, a magnetic therapy device 1 as shown in FIG. 6A is used. This magnetic therapy device 1 is composed of a granular magnet 2 and an adhesive sheet 3 for sticking it to the skin. Usually, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), two parallel cuts P enter. A plurality of magnetic therapy devices 1 (six in the figure) are held in a sheet form by the release paper 4 and are sold in a state of being accommodated in a paper box or the like.

  The granular magnet 2 of the magnetic therapy device 1 emits a relatively strong magnetic force. Therefore, when it is applied to the skin or attached to clothing, the magnetic effect is exerted on portions other than the working surface facing the skin. However, there is a possibility that troubles such as loss of recorded contents of a commuter pass or a cash card placed in the inner pocket of the jacket may occur.

Therefore, in order to prevent such troubles, a technique has been proposed in which the periphery of the magnet is shielded to prevent magnetic force from leaking out (see Patent Document 1).
JP-A-9-248345

  However, this is only intended to prevent magnetic leakage during use of a magnetic therapy device of the type used by being attached to clothing.

  On the other hand, the magnetic force in the magnetic therapy device leaks constantly and affects the surroundings not only when it is used, but also when it is not used. I have recently learned. For this reason, there has been a strong demand for the development of a container that can accommodate a magnetic therapy device that has been simply packaged with paper or plastic in the form that does not leak magnetism to the outside as much as possible. Such a container has not yet been put into practical use.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a container for a magnetic therapy device having excellent magnetic shielding properties.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a main body part in which a concave part for accommodating a magnetic therapy device is formed, and a lid part that covers the concave part opening of the main body part so as to be openable and closable. The first gist is a container for a magnetic therapy device in which a magnetic layer is formed on the bottom surface of the recess of the main body and the inner surface of the lid.

  In addition, the present invention includes, in particular, the magnetic layer comprising at least one magnetic body selected from iron, nickel, iron oxide, chromium oxide, cobalt, and ferrite, or a magnetic body made of an alloy thereof. The container for magnetic therapy device formed is a second gist, and among them, in particular, the main body part and the lid part are made of a synthetic resin molded product, and the concave part bottom surface of the main body part and the inner side surface of the lid part, The third gist is a container for a magnetic therapy device in which a magnetic layer is formed by sticking a plate-like body made of a magnetic material.

  That is, according to the present invention, a magnetic layer is formed at least on the bottom surface of the concave portion for accommodating the magnetic therapy device of the main body portion and the inner side surface of the lid portion that covers the concave portion. According to this container, since the magnetic therapy device can be accommodated so as to be sandwiched between the magnetic material layers from above and below, the upper and lower magnetic material layers absorb the magnetic flux generated from the magnet of the magnetic therapy device and weaken the magnetic field. By doing so, it is possible to effectively prevent the magnet from lowering the magnetism and leaking out of the container.

  Therefore, if the magnetic therapy device is accommodated in this container, the magnetic therapy device is not lowered until it is used, and the quality of the magnetic therapy device can be maintained high over a long period of time. And since magnetic leakage to the outside of the container is prevented, troubles such as damage to these recorded contents will not occur even when contacting a magnetic recording medium such as a cash card or commuter pass during storage or carrying. .

  In the present invention, in particular, the magnetic layer is formed of at least one magnetic body selected from iron, nickel, iron oxide, chromium oxide, cobalt and ferrite, or a magnetic body made of an alloy thereof. The container for a magnetic therapy device is suitable because of its excellent magnetic flux absorption performance by a magnetic material.

  In the present invention, in particular, the main body portion and the lid portion are made of a synthetic resin molded product, and a plate-like body made of a magnetic material is attached to the bottom surface of the concave portion of the main body portion and the inner side surface of the lid portion. The container for a magnetic therapy device in which the magnetic layer is formed can be designed to be relatively thin and to be provided at a low cost while the container body and the lid can be designed relatively thin while ensuring a certain magnetic leakage prevention effect. This is preferable because it is possible.

  Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

  FIG. 1 is an external view showing an embodiment of a container for a magnetic therapy device (hereinafter abbreviated as “container”) according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of the state in which the container is opened. This container is composed of a main body 10 and a lid 11, and the main body 10 is formed with a recess 12 for accommodating the sheet-like holder of the magnetic therapy device 1 as shown in FIG. 6 (b). ing. The lid portion 11 is rotatably connected to the rear end portion of the main body portion 10 by a hinge structure 13. By closing the lid portion 11, the opening of the concave portion 12 is covered and covered. It is like that.

  Both the main body 10 and the lid 11 are formed of a synthetic resin molded product, and an iron plate 14 having a thickness of 0.5 mm is attached to the bottom surface of the recess 12 in the main body 10. Similarly, an iron plate 14 having a thickness of 0.5 mm is attached to the inner surface of the lid portion 11.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the sheet-like holder of the magnetic therapy device 1 is accommodated in the recess 12 of the main body portion 10 and the lid portion 11 is closed in this state, the magnetic therapy device 1 is The iron plate 14 inside the part 11 and the iron plate 14 in the recess 12 of the main body 10 are sandwiched from above and below, and the magnetic flux generated from the granular magnet 2 of the magnetic therapy device 1 is absorbed by the upper and lower iron plates 14. Since the magnetic field is weakened, it is possible to effectively prevent the magnetic drop of the granular magnet 2 and the magnetic leakage to the outside of the container.

  Therefore, if the sheet-like holder of the magnetic therapy device 1 is accommodated in this container and stored or carried, even if there is a magnetic recording medium such as a commuter pass or cash card in the vicinity of this container, the recording is possible. There is no risk of damage and it is safe. And since the magnetic fall of the granular magnet 2 is prevented, magnetic force does not become weak over time, and the outstanding quality as the magnetic therapy device 1 can be maintained over a long period of time.

  In the above example, the magnetic layer is formed by adhering the iron plate 14 to each of the bottom surface of the recess 12 and the inner surface of the lid portion 11 in the main body portion 10, but the formation area of the magnetic layer is as follows. It is desirable to form each surface as widely as possible, and it is preferable to cover 80% to 100% of each surface. The thickness of the iron plate 14 to be used is not limited to 0.5 mm and can be set as appropriate. However, the thickness of the iron plate 14 is capable of absorbing the magnetic flux generated by the magnetic therapy device 1 without leaking to the outside, and the entire container. Is preferably a thickness that does not become too heavy. For this purpose, it is preferable to set the thickness to 0.1 to 1.0 mm.

  Further, the material of the magnetic layer is not limited to iron, and is not particularly limited as long as it is a magnetic body having a magnetic flux absorption ability. For example, nickel, iron oxide, chromium oxide, cobalt, Examples thereof include ferrite. These may be used singly or may be used by superposing two or more layers of different kinds of magnetic materials. Moreover, the magnetic body which consists of an alloy which combined these magnetic bodies suitably may be sufficient.

  And when forming a magnetic body layer in a container, you may affix on the surface which makes a plate-shaped magnetic body object like said example, or form a magnetic body layer by plating, painting, etc. You may do it. In that case, the thickness of the magnetic layer is preferably set to 0.05 to 0.5 mm. Of course, the magnetic layer may be formed on the entire inner surface (including the peripheral portion) of the container body 10 other than the bottom surface of the recess 12 and the inner surface of the lid 11. Furthermore, you may form the whole container with a magnetic body, and in that case, it is suitable for the thickness of a magnetic body to set to 0.5-2.0 mm.

  Moreover, in said example, the engagement mechanism and opening / closing mechanism of the main-body part 10 and the cover part 11 are not specifically limited, For example, the structure similar to the compact etc. which accommodate cosmetics can be used.

  Furthermore, in addition to the lid 11 having a structure that opens from the front to the rear using a hinge structure like a compact container for cosmetics, for example, the lid 11 is opened and closed by a sliding method, and the magnetic therapy device 1. It is also possible to adopt a structure that exposes the recess 12 that accommodates.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), in the container in which the lid portion 11 is slidably opened and closed with respect to the main body portion 10 as indicated by an arrow, at least the inner surface of the lid portion 11 and In addition, the magnetic layer 14a may be formed on the bottom surface of the recess 12.

  As another example, as shown in FIG. 4B, a main body 10 is attached to the lid 11 in a drawer shape, and the main body 10 is pulled out to open and close as indicated by an arrow ( Relatively, the container has a structure in which “the lid 11 covers the opening of the concave portion 12 of the main body portion 10 so as to be openable and closable”), at least on the inner surface of the upper surface of the lid portion 11 and the bottom surface of the concave portion 12. And the one formed with the magnetic layer 14a.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in a shallow bottle-shaped container, a magnetic layer 14 a is formed at least on the bottom surface of the main body 10 and the inner surface of the lid 11 fitted to the neck of the main body 10. It may be what you did.

  These examples are examples on the assumption that the magnetic therapy device accommodated in the container is held in a sheet shape as shown in FIG. 6B, for example. The form of the magnetic therapy device itself and the sales form may be any. The container of the present invention can be set in an appropriate shape according to the form of the magnetic therapy device to be accommodated.

  Next, examples of the present invention will be described together with comparative examples.

[Example 1]
A container for a magnetic therapy device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is manufactured, and six magnetic therapy devices as shown in FIG. 6 (b) are held in a sheet shape (Electiban, Pip Fujimoto) Housed). Then, when the magnetic flux density outside the container was measured by the following method with the container closed, it was 1 gauss. According to this value, even when a cash card or the like was stacked on the outside of the container, recording was performed. It was found that the magnetism was shielded to the extent that information was not affected.

<Measurement of magnetic flux density>
The magnetic flux density outside the container was determined by measuring the magnetic flux density on the surface of the container lid using a gauss meter (MG601, manufactured by Magna). The magnetic flux density of the magnetic therapy device itself was determined by measuring the magnetic flux density on the surface of the granular magnet of the magnetic therapy device using the gauss meter.

[Control example]
In addition, when the magnetic flux density of the sheet-like holding body of the magnetic therapy device is measured in a bare state that cannot be put into a container, it is 1000 gauss. According to this value, a cash card or the like is stacked on the bare magnetic therapy device. It has been found that there is a risk of affecting the recorded information.

[Example 2]
Instead of the iron plate, nickel plating having a thickness of 0.2 mm was applied to the bottom surface of the recess 12 of the main body 10 of the container and the inner surface of the lid 11. Other than that was carried out similarly to Example 1, the container for magnetic therapy apparatuses was produced, the sheet-like holding body of the magnetic therapy apparatus was accommodated, and the magnetic flux density of the container outer side was measured, and it was 5 gausses. Therefore, it was found that the magnetism was shielded to such an extent that the recorded information was not affected even when a cash card or the like was stacked on the outside of the container.

[Comparative example]
A container similar to that of Example 1 was manufactured which was entirely formed of synthetic resin and was not provided with a magnetic layer. When the sheet-like holder of the magnetic therapy device is accommodated in this container and the magnetic flux density on the outside of the container is measured, it is 900 gauss. If a cash card or the like is placed outside this container, the recorded information is affected. I found out there was a fear.
