Description

  The present invention relates to a fingertip training device that is easily used when exercising hands and fingertips and efficiently supports brain activation and improvement of physical ability.

The instrument used for the conventional fingertip carrying tool is a disk-shaped plate with a hollow and partly rotatable (Patent Document 1), or a motor attached to a part of the main body to support movement (Patent Document 2).

However, according to the above technique, only a single fixed operation suitable for the purpose of each instrument can be performed.
Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the rotational motion of the fingertips, but includes a variety of motions such as rotational motion of the fingertips, motion of playing a string, motion of pulling an elastic rubber string, motion of gripping an elastic material such as a sponge, etc. The purpose is to provide a training device for recovery of hand and fingertip functions to promote exercise.

  In order to solve the above problems, an annular frame is continuously formed on the upper part of the base, a concave groove is formed inside the frame, and a plurality of finger holes are penetrated through the disk. The circumference of the body is inserted into the concave groove of the frame body, and the disk makes the inside of the ring frame rotatable. In the center of the base, a hollow portion penetrating in a rectangular shape is provided from the front surface to the back surface, a plurality of fastening portions are provided on the upper edge and the lower edge of the hollow portion, and string strings are tensioned on the fastening portion to be bridged. A curved portion is provided on both side surfaces of the base, and a stretchable rubber string is cross-linked to the fastening portions attached to both ends. A fingertip training instrument characterized in that a gripping portion made of a cylindrical elastic material provided with a groove is detachably provided at a lower end of a base.

  The present invention can be easily enjoyed while performing exercises such as turning, grasping, playing, and pulling with one hand / fingertip, and is effective for functional recovery such as rehabilitation. Also, gripping force is improved by gripping the gripping part made of elastic material such as sponge, and the other fingertip is put into the finger hole of the disc body at the same time while gripping the gripping part and applying force or loosening. The brain activation can be promoted by putting the fingertips in a rotational motion and making different movements to the left and right. A healing effect can also be expected from the sound played by playing the strings attached to the cavity. This is a fingertip training device that helps to activate the brain by moving the hands and fingertips.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
(A) An annular frame (2) is continuously provided on the upper part of the flat base (1). The size of the base (1) is preferably a size that a general adult can hold with one hand.
(B) A circular groove (3) is formed inside the annular frame (2), and the circular periphery of the disk (4) having several finger holes (5) penetrated into the disk is defined as the frame. The disc (4) is inserted into the concave groove (3) of (2), and the inside of the frame of the frame (2) is freely rotatable. In addition, it is desirable that the finger holes (5) have different sizes so as to fit various people's fingers, or the size of the finger holes (5) is about 3 cm so that even a thick finger can enter. A large finger hole (5) may be used.
(C) A rectangular cavity portion (6) penetrating from the front surface to the back surface is provided in the center of the base (1), and a plurality of fastening portions (7) are provided on the upper edge and the lower edge of the cavity portion (6), respectively. The string (8) is tensioned and bridged to the fastening part (7), the curved part (9) is provided on both sides of the base (1), and the fastening part (10) attached to both ends is stretchable. The rubber string (11) is cross-linked.
(D) A grip portion groove (13) is provided in the longitudinal direction on the upper surface of the grip portion (12) made of a resilient material such as a columnar sponge.
(E) A gripping groove (13) of the gripping part (12) is detachably attached to the lower end of the pedestal.

  In addition, the shape of a disc attachment part may provide a recessed part (14) in a disk body (4), and may provide a convex part (15) in a frame.

  The present invention is configured as described above. When the present invention is used, the base (1) is held with one hand, and the finger hole (5) in which the fingertip of the other hand is opened in the disc body (4). Rotate in. Alternatively, the base (1) is sandwiched between the left and right hands, put into the finger holes (5), and rotated. Holding the base (1) with one hand, playing the string (8) with the fingertip of the other hand, pulling the elastic rubber string (11) attached to the curved portion (9), or the base (1 ) Attached to the lower end of the fingertip training device that can grip the gripping portion (12) made of a resilient material such as sponge, and is useful for recovery of motor function, improvement of physical ability, and activation of the brain.

  As shown in FIG. 6, on the outer peripheral surface of the base, annular fastening portions (16) are provided in at least eight places, the elastic rubber cord (17) is attached, and a finger is inserted between the base and the rubber cord, The muscles at the fingertips are trained using the elasticity of the elastic band.

  A partition plate (18) is provided in the center of the groove (3b) of the frame body, grooves (3b) are formed on both sides of the partition plate (18), and a rotatable disc body (4b) is provided in the groove (3b). . Insert the fingertips into the hollow finger holes (19) of the base disk body (4b), hold the disk body (4b) with both hands from both sides, and turn each disk body to the right, left, forward and reverse, etc. By rotating and changing the movement of the fingertips, brain activation and fingertip training are performed. Further, the finger holes of the disc body (4b) may have a shape in which a depression is formed on the surface without penetrating to the back surface.

  Perspective view of the present invention   1 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.   The perspective view which shows the use condition of this invention   Gripping unit perspective view of the present invention   1 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.   The perspective view which shows the other Example of this invention.   Another embodiment of the present invention FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG.
