Description

  The present invention relates to a thermal band used by being worn on the body, such as a stomach wrap or a supporter.

Conventionally, as an example of a thermal band, in addition to the thermal effect due to the material such as cloth and yarn constituting the belly band, a technique that further improves the thermal effect by housing a disposable body warmer in the pocket provided in the belly band ( Patent Document 1) has been proposed.
Here, the disposable body warmer is usually filled with metal powder such as iron, salt, activated carbon, water retention material, etc. in a breathable bag, and the metal powder is oxidized by exposing the bag to air during use. It is comprised so that the thermal effect may be acquired using the oxidation heat of powder.
Utility Model Registration No. 312799

  However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1 described above, since a disposable body warmer capable of obtaining a thermal effect due to the heat of oxidation of the metal powder is accommodated in the pocket portion provided in the belly band, a time corresponding to the lifetime of the disposable body warmer ( In other words, the problem that the thermal effect can be obtained only for the time until the oxidation of the metal powder is finished), the oxidation heat of the metal powder is relatively high temperature, the problem that excessive temperature rise occurs, and the use is finished There was a defect that the disposal of Cairo was necessary.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a heating belt that can maintain a heating effect for a long period of time without causing an excessive temperature rise.

  In order to solve such a problem, the heating band according to the present invention is a heating band in which a pocket portion capable of accommodating a heating member is provided in a belt-like or tubular cloth member, as the heating member, A cloth bag filled with salt is used.

  According to this configuration, by using a cloth bag in which salt is enclosed as the heat member, the body temperature of the user wearing the heat belt is stored in the salt via the cloth bag, thereby obtaining a heat effect. Therefore, as described in Patent Document 1 described above, the temperature of the heating member does not increase excessively as compared with the case of using the heating member (disposable body warmer) that utilizes the heat of oxidation of the metal powder. Since it can be heated at a temperature that is substantially the same as or slightly higher than the body temperature), it is possible to prevent burns.

  Moreover, according to this structure, since the thermal member using the heat storage of salt is used, it is possible to maintain the thermal effect as long as the thermal belt is continuously worn. Here, the salt used as the thermal member cannot obtain a sufficient thermal effect when moisture in sweat or air is absorbed. However, by drying the cloth bag and evaporating the moisture absorbed in the salt, An effect can be obtained.

  That is, when the thermal belt is not in use, the cloth bag containing salt is stored in a non-breathable plastic bag to prevent moisture absorption of the salt or to evaporate the moisture from the salt that has absorbed moisture. By drying the cloth bag, the thermal member can be used repeatedly for a long time without being disposed of.

  In the heating belt according to the present invention, as the heating member, a cloth bag in which activated carbon is enclosed in addition to the salt may be used. According to this configuration, in addition to the thermal effect due to the heat storage of the salt, the thermal effect due to the far infrared rays emitted from the activated carbon can be obtained, so that it is possible to obtain a more excellent thermal effect.

In addition, according to this configuration, moisture is absorbed by activated carbon instead of salt due to the hygroscopic action of the activated carbon. Therefore, as described above, even if the cloth bag is not stored in a non-breathable plastic bag, the thermal effect is prolonged. It becomes possible to maintain the period.
Furthermore, according to this structure, it becomes possible to remove the body odor of the user wearing the warm belt by the deodorizing action of the activated carbon.

  In addition, the cloth member and cloth bag used in the present invention are not particularly limited as long as the material itself has a thermal effect and the body temperature is efficiently transmitted. Specific examples of the material include silk, cotton, and nylon.

  According to the heating belt according to the present invention, as a heating member to be stored in the pocket portion provided in the belt-like or cylindrical cloth member, by using a cloth bag filled with salt, an excessive temperature rise does not occur, The thermal effect can be maintained for a long time.

  In addition, according to the heating belt according to the present invention, since an excessive temperature rise does not occur, even if the heating belt is felt warm, it does not feel hot. It can also be used all year round, regardless of the season.

  In addition, according to the thermal band according to the present invention, blood circulation is improved by the effect of the salt, so that not only the part to which the thermal band is applied, but the whole body is warmed up to the end of the hands, feet, etc. It gives a warming effect and is very effective for cooling.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a belly band as an example of a heating band according to the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, the belly band (thermal band) 10 in this embodiment has a configuration in which attachment members 3 are provided via rubber members 2 at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the belt-like cloth member 1. A plurality of (three in the present embodiment) pocket portions 1A that open in the lateral direction are provided on one surface of the belt-like cloth member 1, and the pocket portion 1A is filled with salt 11a as a thermal member. It is comprised so that the cloth bag 11 can be accommodated.

Here, it is preferable that the belt-shaped cloth member 1 and the cloth bag 11 accommodated in the pocket portion 1A are made of the same material.
The attachment member 3 is provided with a fastener (for example, a hook or a sticking tape) 31 for attaching the belly band 10 in a cylindrical shape to the user's abdomen by fastening both ends of the belt-like cloth member 1.
Although the salt 11a enclosed with the cloth bag 11 is not specifically limited, It is preferable to use the natural salt containing many minerals.

When the user wears the belly band 10 on the abdomen, the body temperature of the user is stored in the salt 11a via the cloth member 1 and the cloth bag 11 so that a thermal effect is obtained.
For this reason, according to the belly volume 10 of this embodiment, since it uses the thermal effect by the heat storage of the salt 11a, as described in Patent Document 1 described above, the thermal member using the oxidation heat of the metal powder Compared to the case where (disposable body warmer) is used, the thermal member can be heated at a relatively low temperature (substantially the same as or slightly higher than the body temperature) without excessively increasing the temperature. Can be prevented.

Moreover, according to the belly band 10 of this embodiment, as long as the user continues to wear the belly band 10, the thermal effect can be maintained. Here, the salt 11a used as the thermal member does not obtain a sufficient thermal effect when moisture in sweat or air is absorbed, but by drying the cloth bag 11 and evaporating the moisture absorbed in the salt 11a. The thermal effect can be obtained again.
That is, when the abdomen 10 is not used, the cloth bag 11 in which the salt 11a is sealed is stored in a non-breathable plastic bag to prevent moisture absorption of the salt 11a or moisture from the salt 11a in which moisture has been absorbed. By drying the cloth bag 11 for evaporation, the cloth bag 11 containing the salt used as the heating member can be used repeatedly for a long time without being disposed of.

  Furthermore, according to the belly band 10 of the present embodiment, the attachment members 3 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the belt-like cloth member 1 via the rubber member 2, so that it is easy to attach and detach when the user wears, The tube diameter of the belly band 10 can be adjusted as appropriate according to the body shape of the user.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the cloth bag in which only the salt 11a is sealed is used as the heating member has been described. However, as shown in FIG. 2, the activated carbon 11b is sealed in the cloth bag 11 in addition to the salt 11a. Also good. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), a mixture of salt 11a and activated carbon 11b may be enclosed in one cloth bag 11, or as shown in FIG. 2 (b). The inside may be subdivided into a plurality of pieces and sealed so that the salt 11a and the activated carbon 11b are not mixed.

According to this, since the thermal effect by the far infrared rays emitted from the activated carbon 11b is obtained in addition to the thermal effect due to the heat storage of the salt 11a, a more excellent thermal effect can be obtained.
Further, since the moisture absorption of the activated carbon 11b absorbs moisture into the activated carbon 11b instead of the salt 11a, the thermal effect can be maintained for a long time without storing the cloth bag 11 in a non-breathable plastic bag as described above. It becomes possible to do.
Furthermore, according to this structure, it becomes possible to remove the body odor of the user wearing the warm belt by the deodorizing action of the activated carbon.

  Here, the content ratio of the salt 11a and the activated carbon 11b contained in one cloth bag 11 is preferably salt: activated carbon = 5: 5 to 9: 1, and more preferably 9: 1.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the belly band 10 is configured in a band shape and is mounted in a cylindrical shape on the user's abdomen by the mounting member 3, but the configuration of the belly band 10 is not limited to this and is configured in a cylindrical shape. It doesn't matter.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, although the case where the technique of this invention was applied to the stomach band 10 as a warming belt | band | zone was demonstrated, you may apply the technique of this invention to a supporter as a heating belt | band | zone.

It is a perspective view which shows a belly band as an example of the zone for thermals which concerns on this invention. It is a top view which shows the other example of the heating member used with the zone for heating which concerns on this invention.
