Description

この発明は人体の顔面に装着することにより、ドライアイや眼瞼炎の治癒などの医療効果やリフトアップなどの美容効果を得られる眼覆に関する。   The present invention relates to an eye cover that can be attached to the face of a human body to obtain a medical effect such as healing of dry eyes and blepharitis and a cosmetic effect such as lift-up.

目の緊張による目の周りの筋肉や血管の収縮が原因で、涙腺やマイボーム腺の機能障害を引き起こす症状をドライアイという。ドライアイは、テレビやパソコンの画面による目の酷使、冷暖房による異常な不自然な乾燥、コンタクトレンズの装着などが原因で起こり、レーシック手術後に起こることもある。乾燥した眼球が瞼の内側の皮をこすり落として眼瞼炎を引き起こすこともある。   Dry eye is a symptom that causes dysfunction of the lacrimal gland and meibomian gland due to contraction of muscles and blood vessels around the eye due to eye strain. Dry eye is caused by overuse of the eyes on the screen of a TV or PC, abnormal unnatural drying due to air conditioning or wearing of contact lenses, and may occur after LASIK surgery. Dry eyeballs may rub off the inner skin of the eyelid and cause blepharitis.

ドライアイの治療法としては、涙に近い成分の人工涙液やヒアルロン酸を主成分とする目薬を点眼したり、コンタクトレンズを装着している場合は、コンタクトレンズ用の目薬を点眼したり、あるいは涙点プラグを装着することが一般的である。   For dry eye treatment, eye drops containing artificial tears that are close to tears and hyaluronic acid as the main component, or if you are wearing contact lenses, apply eye drops for contact lenses, Or it is common to attach a punctum plug.

一方、固形化されたマイボーム腺の分泌物を溶かし、涙液層を正常な状態に保つためにヒーターを内装した眼覆により眼瞼を温める発明（特許文献１）や、同じく水蒸気を発生する眼覆により水蒸気を目に供給する発明（特許文献２）が公知である。   On the other hand, the invention (patent document 1) for warming the eyelid with the cover of the eye that dissolves the solidified meibomian gland secretion and keeps the tear film in a normal state, and the eye cover that also generates water vapor An invention (Patent Document 2) that supplies water vapor to the eyes is known.

特願２０００−２２５１４１公報Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-225141 特願２００２−７８７２７公報Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-78727 特願２００４−２２３１８８公報Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-223188 特願２００７−２０４８８６公報Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-204886 特願２００８−２２２１４９公報Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-222149 特願２００８−６１３２公報Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-6132

しかしながら、今までの治療方法は、あくまでもドライアイという症状に対する一時的対症療法に過ぎなかった。   However, the treatment method so far has been only temporary symptomatic treatment for the symptom of dry eye.

一方、特許文献に記載の発明は温熱や水蒸気など外からの作用によりマイボーム腺の分泌物を溶かす点においてはやはり対症療法的であり、また、ヒーターや水蒸気発生装置を組み込まなければならないので眼覆の構造が大がかりになり製造コストが嵩む問題もあった。   On the other hand, the invention described in the patent document is still symptomatic in that the secretion of the meibomian gland is dissolved by an external action such as heat and water vapor, and it is necessary to incorporate a heater and a water vapor generating device. There is also a problem that the structure becomes large and the manufacturing cost increases.

この発明は以上の従来技術の問題点に鑑みて創作されたものであり、一時的対症療法ではなく、生体内の目の周りの毛細血管の血流をきちんと改善することを企図したものであり、原因となる緊張を取り除き、マイボーム腺などの分泌腺の機能障害を正常化することによりドライアイや眼瞼炎を治癒する眼覆を提供することを目的とする。   This invention was created in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and is intended not to be a temporary symptomatic treatment but to properly improve the blood flow of capillaries around the eyes in vivo. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an eye cover that cures dry eye and blepharitis by removing causative tension and normalizing dysfunction of secretory glands such as meibomian glands.

すなわち、この発明の眼覆は人体の頭部の両眼および側頭部を覆う長さの帯状の本体と、本体を顔面に装着する手段を有し、上記本体内には植物性炭素繊維層を内装したことを特徴とする。   That is, the eye cover of the present invention has a band-shaped main body having a length covering both eyes and the temporal region of the human head, and means for attaching the main body to the face, and the plant carbon fiber layer in the main body It is characterized by the interior.

また、ここでは前記の眼覆において、両眼に位置する箇所の植物性炭素繊維層を他の部分より厚く構成し、本体の裏側に突起させた眼覆も第２発明として開示する。   In addition, here, in the above-mentioned eye cover, an eye cover in which the plant carbon fiber layer located at both eyes is formed thicker than the other part and protruded on the back side of the main body is also disclosed as the second invention.

この発明の眼覆は植物性炭素繊維層を内装しているが、セルロース系の有機物から作られた織物を炭化させ製造した植物性炭素繊維材料を人体に近づけると、血液中で連鎖的に結合した赤血球同士が分離するとともに正常な丸型の赤血球に戻ると共に、さらに血球に変容性と変形能が出て、赤血球が血管内を互いに独立した状態で流れるようになり血流が促進されることが知られている（特許文献３、４、５）。   The eye cover of this invention has a plant carbon fiber layer, but when a plant carbon fiber material produced by carbonizing a fabric made of cellulosic organic material is brought close to the human body, it is linked in the blood chain. The isolated red blood cells are separated from each other and returned to normal round red blood cells, and the blood cells are transformed and deformable, and the red blood cells flow independently from each other in the blood vessels to promote blood flow. Is known (Patent Documents 3, 4, and 5).

マイボーム腺（マイボームせん、Ｍｅｉｂｏｍｉａｎ ｇｌａｎｄ）は瞼の縁にある特殊な皮脂腺の一つで、目の涙液膜の蒸発を防ぎ、涙が頬にこぼれ落ちるのを防止し、閉じた瞼内を気密にする働きを持つ油性物質（皮脂）の供給をつかさどる。瞼板腺（けんばんせん、ｔａｒｓａｌ ｇ１ａｎｄｓ）ともいう。マイボーム腺は上瞼には約５０本、下瞼には約２５本存在する。機能障害を起こしているマイボーム腺は、その周りの毛細血管の血流が少なくなっているか、または滞っており、それによりドライアイが引き起こされる。   The meibomian gland is a special sebaceous gland on the rim of the heel that prevents the tear film from evaporating, prevents tears from spilling on the cheeks, and seals the closed vagina Controls the supply of oily substances (sebum) that works to make Also referred to as tarsal gland. There are about 50 meibomian glands in the upper arm and about 25 in the lower arm. A dysfunctional meibomian gland has reduced or stagnant capillary blood flow around it, causing dry eye.

よって、そのマイボーム腺に到達している毛細血管の血流を前記の植物性炭素繊維の作用により促進させることにより、豊富な栄養と酸素をマイボーム腺に与え、老廃物を運び出すことが可能となり、そのことによって初めて人体内でマイボーム腺が正常な機能を取り戻せるようになり、ドライアイや眼瞼炎が治癒される。   Therefore, by promoting the blood flow of the capillaries reaching the meibomian gland by the action of the plant carbon fiber, it becomes possible to give abundant nutrition and oxygen to the meibomian gland and carry out waste products, This is the first time that the meibomian glands can return to normal function in the human body, and dry eyes and blepharitis are cured.

ところで、通常、「アイマスク」と呼ばれている眼覆は、その名の通り人体の頭部の両眼部分のみを覆う大きさおよび形状となっている。また、一般的には毛細血管の血流を促進させるためにはマイボーム腺など、対象となるところの上にのみ前記の植物性炭素繊維を当てることが望ましいように思われている。   By the way, the eye cover normally called an “eye mask” has a size and a shape that covers only both eye parts of the head of the human body as the name suggests. In general, in order to promote blood flow in capillaries, it seems to be desirable to apply the plant carbon fiber only on a target site such as a meibomian gland.

しかしながら、臨床試験によると、血流促進をしたい毛細血管の前のより太い血管に植物性炭素繊維を当てると毛細血管の血流が飛躍的に改善されることが確認されている。この発明の眼覆は、両眼部分のみを覆う公知の眼覆とは異なり、両眼および側頭部を覆う長さの帯状の本体に植物性炭素繊維層を内装している。よって、瞼の毛細血管の手前、眉間部分の血管血流促進を行うように植物性炭素繊維層が位置する他、頚部から側頭部の頚動脈部分にも植物性炭素繊維層が位置して毛細血管の血流が飛躍的に改善され、さらにリンパ液流の促進効果も得られる。   However, according to clinical trials, it has been confirmed that the blood flow of capillaries is drastically improved when plant carbon fibers are applied to thicker blood vessels in front of capillaries that are desired to promote blood flow. The eye cover of the present invention is different from a known eye cover that covers only the binocular portion, and has a vegetable carbon fiber layer incorporated in a band-shaped main body that covers both eyes and the temporal region. Therefore, in addition to the plant carbon fiber layer positioned so as to promote vascular blood flow in front of the eyelid capillaries and between the eyebrows, the plant carbon fiber layer is also positioned in the carotid artery from the neck to the temporal region. The blood flow of the blood vessel is dramatically improved, and the effect of promoting lymph flow is also obtained.

一方、植物性炭素繊維層の作用は狭くマイボーム腺に止まらず、眼球周りの他の腺や筋肉に対してもおよぶ。すなわち、毛綱血管の血流促進により緊張が緩み、機能が正常化してくる。その結果、この発明の眼覆によれば、ドライアイや眼瞼炎の治癒などの医療効果だけでなく、下記の美容効果も得ることができる。
(A) 目の周りの肌の血流があがる。
(B) 目じりの皺が薄くなる。
(C) 目の周りのくすみが取れる。
(D) 目の下のくまが取れる。
(E) リフトアップされる。
(F) 目の周りに張りが出る。
なお、顔面の筋肉の緊張を緩め柔軟にすることによりリフトアップなどの美容効果が得られることは特許文献６により知られている。 On the other hand, the action of the plant carbon fiber layer is not limited to the meibomian gland but also affects other glands and muscles around the eyeball. That is, the tension is relaxed due to the promotion of blood flow in the tuft blood vessels, and the function is normalized. As a result, according to the eye cover of the present invention, not only medical effects such as healing of dry eye and blepharitis, but also the following cosmetic effects can be obtained.
(A) Blood flow around the eyes increases.
(B) The eyelids become thinner.
(C) Dullness around the eyes.
(D) You can get a bear under your eyes.
(E) Lifted up.
(F) There is tension around the eyes.
It is known from Patent Document 6 that a beauty effect such as lift-up can be obtained by relaxing and softening facial muscle tension.

次に、第２発明においては、両眼に位置する箇所の植物性炭素繊維層を他の部分より厚く構成して本体の裏側に隆起させているが、これにより眼窩付近の凹凸に眼覆が馴染んで密着性が向上し、植物性炭素繊維層の作用がより確かに発揮される効果が得られる。   Next, in the second invention, the plant carbon fiber layer located at both eyes is made thicker than the other part and raised on the back side of the main body, but this causes the eye cover to cover the irregularities near the orbit. Adhesion improves with familiarity, and the effect that the action of the vegetable carbon fiber layer is more reliably exhibited is obtained.

Furthermore, it is possible to avoid the demerits of ordinary products made of charcoal, such as the deterioration of charcoal characteristics and effects caused by processing. The molecular structure of the vegetable carbon fiber is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include graphitic carbon, amorphous carbon, and carbon having an intermediate crystal structure thereof. The fiber diameter is not particularly limited as long as a desired effect can be obtained, but is, for example, about 5 to 20 μm, preferably about 7 to 15 μm, and more preferably about 7 to 11 μm. Also. A tow may be formed and twisted. The diameter of the twisted carbon fiber bundle is not particularly limited as long as a desired effect can be obtained, but is, for example, about 0.05 to 10 mm, preferably about 0.1 to 5 mm. ”Is defined. It goes without saying that regenerated cellulose fibers such as rayon are also included.

この発明においては、植物性炭素繊維層３は眼覆の本体１に内装されるが、この実施例においては両眼（図１において仮想線で図中符号Ｅとして図示している。）に位置する箇所４、４の植物性炭素繊維層を２層とすることにより他の部分より厚く構成し、本体の裏側に隆起させている。   In this invention, the vegetable carbon fiber layer 3 is built in the main body 1 of the eye cover, but in this embodiment, it is located in both eyes (indicated by a phantom line in FIG. 1 as symbol E in the figure). By making the plant carbon fiber layers of the places 4 and 4 to be two layers into a thicker layer than the other parts, they are raised on the back side of the main body.

以上の眼覆は顔面に装着されるように使用に供されるが、この実施例においては伸縮素材部分５、５を両側に介在させることにより伸縮自在とした本体１の両端に耳に掛止可能な掛止穴６、６を設けることにより、本体を顔面に装着する手段としている。   The above eye cover is used so as to be worn on the face, but in this embodiment, the elastic material portions 5 and 5 are interposed on both sides so that the both ends of the main body 1 can be stretched on the ears. By providing possible retaining holes 6, 6, the body is attached to the face.
