Claim 3 is "the body traction device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the body locking member has a locking portion formed of foamed resin".
A fourth aspect of the present invention is "the body traction device according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the traction member is an elastic member capable of adjusting an elastic force".

  According to this invention, the operability is good, and the operator pulls the cervical vertebra, lumbar vertebra, ankle, knee joint, wrist, etc. in a state of being supine or lying down, for example, alleviating or eliminating stiffness and pain generated in the joint portion. A body traction device can be provided.

  Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a body traction device that prevents the substrate from being displaced by the force of the traction member pulling by locking the body with the body locking member and placing the body on the substrate. it can.

  In addition, according to the present invention, when the body is locked to the body locking member, it is difficult to block the blood flow of the body, so that the body traction device can relieve or eliminate stiffness and pain that occur in the joints and the like more efficiently Can be provided.

  Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a body traction device that adjusts the elastic force, that is, the force that pulls the body, in accordance with the degree of stiffness or pain that occurs in the joint of the operator.

  The body pulling instrument of this invention comprises a substrate, a body locking member, and a pulling member.

The substrate is formed by attaching a body locking member and a pulling member, which will be described later.
As long as the body locking member and the traction member can be attached to the substrate, the shape, size, material, and the like are not particularly limited.

  As the shape and size of the substrate, for example, it has a shape such as a rectangular disk, a disk, or an ellipse, and the size of the substrate is approximately the same as the back surface of the operator or an area larger than the back surface of the operator A substrate can be employed.

  Further, as the material of the substrate, various materials such as wood, metal, plastic or ceramics can be used.

  Further, the length of the substrate is not particularly limited, but the length of the substrate is such that the operator's body can be placed, for example, when the operator places the neck on the body locking member Furthermore, it is preferable that the length of the substrate is such that the end of the substrate is located in the vicinity of the operator's lumbar spine. In the case of the substrate having such a length, the weight of the operator's limb placed on the substrate presses the substrate, and the substrate does not shift due to a pulling force of a pulling member described later. However, even when the substrate has a minimum length to which the body locking member and the traction member can be attached, for example, when the neck is placed, a stopper is attached to the shoulder portion of the operator, By adopting a mode in which an anti-slip is attached to the contact portion, it is possible to appropriately prevent the substrate from being displaced by a pulling force.

  The body locking member is not particularly limited in shape, size and material as long as it can lock the body.

  As the shape of the body locking member, a traction force can be applied to the body locking member by connecting to the traction member and locking the cervical vertebra, lumbar vertebra, ankle, knee joint, wrist, etc. to the body locking member, A shape that can pull the body and joints is preferable. Examples of the shape of the body locking member that can be adopted include a columnar shape, a semi-columnar shape, a rectangular columnar shape, a cylindrical shape, a semicylindrical shape, and a rectangular cylindrical shape.

  The size of the body locking member is not particularly limited as long as the body can be locked, but is preferably about the size of a pillow normally used by an operator at bedtime.

  As a material of the body locking member, an appropriate material can be used as long as the body can be locked to the body locking member and the body and joints can be pulled. Examples of the material for the body locking member include wood, metal, plastic, ceramics, and a flexible member. The material of the body locking member is preferably a flexible member, and examples of the flexible member include foams obtained by foaming the resin composition, such as sponges, and spun fibers such as cotton. Particularly preferred is a mode in which the portion of the body locking member that contacts the body, that is, the locking portion is made of a flexible member. This is because the body locking member can be pulled without disturbing the blood flow at the place where the body abuts when pulling the body and the joint part, etc. This is because stiffness, pain, or the like of a part can be efficiently relieved or eliminated in a shorter time.

  However, a pillow used by the operator at bedtime may be used as the body locking member.

  In addition, when the body is placed on the body locking member, if the pulling force of the pulling member is large, the placed body may be detached from the body locking member. A fixture may be provided on the body locking member so that the locking member can be locked. The fixture that can be provided on the body locking member is not particularly limited as long as the operator does not receive an excessive load due to the pulling force of the operator. For example, when the neck is placed on the body locking member, the operator A band that can be placed on the forehead.

  The pulling member is a member attached to the body locking member so that the body locking member can be pulled. For example, a spring, rubber, or the like can be used. Further, by extending a thin thread or the like from the body locking member and attaching a weight to the tip of the thin thread, a state in which gravity applied to the weight is changed to a force pulling the body locking member is used as a pulling member. It is also possible to employ a mode in which a motor and a ratchet mechanism, a cam, or the like are combined to prevent a traction force exceeding a certain level from being generated for the traction member. Among the above-described pulling members, preferable pulling member modes include elastic members such as springs and rubber that can improve operability.

  Further, as a preferable aspect of the pulling member, it is preferable to use an elastic member capable of adjusting an elastic force, that is, a force for pulling the body locking member. If the elastic force of the elastic member can be adjusted, the pulling force can be adjusted according to the degree of stiffness or pain generated in the joint portion of the operator, etc. Can be improved and the stiffness or pain can be effectively relieved and eliminated.

  As a further aspect of the body pulling device of the present invention, the design is changed so that the body locking member moves forward and backward along the direction of the pulling force of the pulling member while the body is locked to the body locking member. May be. The forward / backward movement of the body locking member is not limited in its forward / backward travel distance, but is usually 0.5 to 1.5 cm, preferably about 1 cm, and the body locking member moves forward / backward. Thus, it is possible to obtain a massage effect that loosens the locked body or joint, and it is possible to reduce the time for reducing or eliminating stiffness and pain in the joint.

  Here, the preferable aspect of the body traction instrument of this invention is demonstrated using drawing.

  A body traction device 1a according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 includes a substrate 2, a leg 3, a body locking member 4a, a locking portion 4b, an elastic member 5, an elastic member mounting portion 6, a handle 7, A support plate 8, a rail portion 9, and a fastener 10 are provided.

  The board | substrate 2 in the body traction instrument 1a which is one Example of this invention is a rectangular board, and is inclined by attaching the leg part 3 to one end part. The leg 3 is detachably attached to the substrate 2, and the substrate 2 can be installed horizontally by removing the leg 3. The leg 3 shown in FIG. 1 is detachably attached to the substrate 2, but the body traction device of the present invention is provided with a leg storage structure, for example, a leg that can be folded and stored in the substrate. Alternatively, a mode in which the presence or absence of the tilt of the substrate can be switched may be employed. The reason why the inclination is provided by attaching the leg 3 to one end of the substrate 2 is that the operator feels good and the neck is locked to the locking portion 4b of the body locking member 4a. This is because, in addition to the pulling force of the elastic member 5, the gravity applied to the operator acting opposite to the pulling force can also be used for pulling the joint portion. The leg 3 can be attached not only to one end of the substrate 2 but also to the other end. When the leg portion 3 is attached to the other end portion of the substrate 2, the joint portion is pulled when a portion where the weight of the body to be locked is relatively small, such as an ankle and a wrist, is locked to the body locking member 4a. Therefore, it is difficult to cause a detachment state such as the body locking member 4a coming out of the locked body. However, the body traction device of the present invention in which no leg portion is provided can also be configured. As a design change of the substrate, an embodiment in which the size of the substrate in the body traction device of the present invention is such that the long side is 20 to 200 cm, the short side is 10 to 80 cm, and the thickness is about 0.1 to 5 cm. Can do.

  The body locking member 4 a has a columnar shape and is connected via the elastic member 5 and the elastic member attaching portion 6. In addition, the body locking member 4 a can be moved along a rail portion 9 provided on a support plate 8 attached to the substrate 2 while a handle 7 is attached. Although not shown, the body locking member 4a is provided with a guide member fitted into the rail portion 9 so as to be movable along the rail portion 9.

  One end of the elastic member 5 is connected to the body locking member 4 a via an elastic member mounting portion 6, and the other end is connected to the substrate via a fastener 10. Accordingly, when the body locking member 4a is pulled in the direction of the other end of the substrate 2 in FIG. 1 from the stationary state, the elastic member 5 expands, so that the body locking member is elastically moved back to the stationary state. 4a is pulled in the direction of one end of the substrate 2. In FIG. 1, a coil spring which is an elastic member is used as the pulling member. In the body pulling device of the present invention, by embedding the pulling member in the substrate, for example, when the body is locked to the body locking member, it becomes difficult for a part of the hair or the limb to be pinched by the pulling member. This is preferable because the operability and safety of the body traction device of the present invention are improved.

  The handle 7 attached to the body locking member 4a is a member that can improve the operability of the body pulling instrument 1a, and the operator pulls the body locking member 4a against the elastic force of the elastic member 5. When the body is locked to the body locking member 4a, the body locking member 4a is easily pulled. In addition, you may comprise the body traction instrument 1a, without providing this handle 7. FIG.

  The support plate 8 and the rail portion 9 are members provided so that the body locking member 4a can smoothly move in the longitudinal direction of the substrate 2 in FIG. Although the body traction device 1a may be configured without providing both members, if the support plate 8 and the rail portion 9 are provided, the moving direction of the body locking member 4a is restricted, so that the body is locked. It can be simply locked to the member 4a, and the operability of the body pulling instrument 1a can be improved. In addition, from the viewpoint of reducing the number of parts, it is possible to adopt a mode in which the rail portion is embedded in the substrate without providing a support plate as a modification of the body pulling instrument of the present invention. More specifically, when the rail portion is embedded in the substrate without adding an inclination to the substrate and without providing the support plate, and the traction member is also embedded in the substrate, for example, the operator's waist is mounted on the body locking member. This is preferable because it is easy to operate when the lumbar vertebra is placed and pulled.

  FIG. 2 shows a body traction instrument 1b that adopts an aspect in which more elastic members are attached than the body traction instrument 1a shown in FIG. 1 as an aspect for adjusting the elastic force of the elastic member. Except for the number of elastic members, the body traction instrument 1a shown in FIG. By adopting an aspect in which the elastic force can be adjusted like the body pulling device 1b shown in FIG. 2, the force for pulling the body can be adjusted according to the stiffness and pain level of the operator. Can handle pain and improves operability. When the elastic member is a coil spring, the number of elastic members provided in the body traction device of the present invention is not limited to four as shown in FIG. 2, but depends on the degree of stiffness and pain of the operator. It is sufficient that the number of elastic members, that is, the force for pulling the joint portion can be adjusted.

  3A to 3C show modified examples of the body locking member. In addition, the same number is attached | subjected to the member which is common with the body traction instrument 1a shown in FIG.

  The body locking member 4A shown in FIG. 3A has a columnar shape. Specifically, the body locking member 4 </ b> A includes a core material 11 made of a hard material and a flexible member 12 that covers the core material 11. The flexible member 12 is preferably made of a flexible material such as a foam or spun fiber obtained by foaming the above-described resin composition. In the body locking member 4A, the portion for locking the body is made of the flexible member 12, so that even if the body is locked, it is difficult to block blood flow at the portion where the body locking member 4A is in contact with the body. Stiffness and pain at joints and the like can be effectively reduced or eliminated in a short time. Examples of the design change of the body locking member 4A include an aspect in which the surfaces of the core member 11 and the flexible member 12 are further covered by the third and fourth members, and an aspect having a rectangular column shape. it can.

  The body locking member 4B shown in FIG. 3B is a two-layer laminate. More specifically, the body locking member 4B includes a base 13 made of a hard material and a flexible member 12 stacked on the base 13. The flexible member 12 in the body locking member 4A and the flexible member 12 in the body locking member 4B are the same members except that the shapes are different. Similarly to the body locking member 4A, the body locking member 4B is formed of the flexible member 12 at the position where the body is locked. Therefore, even if the body is locked, the body locking member 4B is in contact with the body. It is difficult to block the blood flow in the place where it is, and stiffness and pain in the joints and the like can be efficiently relieved or eliminated in a short time. Examples of the design change of the body locking member 4B include a mode in which members of the third layer and the fourth layer are further laminated on the base 13 and the flexible member 12.

  The body locking member 4C shown in FIG. 3C has a substantially rectangular column shape. More specifically, the body locking member 4 </ b> C is made of a flexible member 12. The flexible member 12 in the body locking member 4A and the flexible member 12 in the body locking member 4C are the same members except that the shapes are different. As with the body locking members 4A and 4B, the body locking member 4C has a flexible member 12 at the position where the body is locked. It is difficult to block the blood flow in the abutting portion, and stiffness and pain of the joints and the like can be efficiently relieved or eliminated in a short time.
