Embodiments of the hot and cold treatment device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The hot / cold treatment device 1 according to the present invention can be grasped with one hand and pressed against an affected area to perform a treatment operation. The acupuncture therapy such as temperature cooling, acupressure massage, acupuncture and the like is performed with one instrument. It is a heat-cooled treatment device that can be performed and can volatilize medicinal components of the herbal medicine when heated, and can apply oil or the like to the skin.

  The hot / cold treatment device 1 of the present invention includes a nigiri part 2, a conical cap body 4 projecting from a projecting part 3 provided integrally with the nigiri part 2, and a presser 5 provided in the cap body 4. The nigiri part 2 is screwed into the bottom member 2a and the lid member 2b to form a spherical body having a heating or cooling chamber 6 inside, and the nigiri part 2 is heated or sealed by enclosing a heating agent or a cooling agent inside. While cooling, the whole heat treatment apparatus 1 is heated or cooled. Reference numeral 7 denotes a vent hole.

  A conical cap body 4 is screwed and fixed to the protruding portion 3 protruding downward from the bottom member 2a of the nigiri portion 2. A crude drug chamber 8 is provided inside the protruding portion 3 so that a crude drug intended to diverge a medicinal component by heating can be enclosed. Herbal medicines are used as appropriate from plant-derived, animal-derived, fungal-derived, mineral-derived, etc. Reference numeral 9 denotes an eye plate that also serves as a lid of the crude drug chamber 8 and serves as a receiving member for a spring 10 to be described later.

  A conical cap body 4 screwed and fixed to the protruding portion 3 is provided with a presser insertion chamber 11, and a presser 5 and a spring 10 are enclosed inside the chamber 11. The pressing element 5 has a protrusion 13 protruding from the center lower portion of the disc-shaped sliding body 12 protruding from the outlet 15 of the top 14 of the conical cap body 4 to the outside of the top 14 and the eye plate 9 and the sliding body. 12 is always biased in the direction in which the protrusion 13 protrudes due to the elastic force of the spring 10 interposed between the spring 12 and the spring 12.

  When the thermotherapy device 1 of the present invention is used as an acupuncture treatment, heat is generated at a predetermined temperature by heating an appropriate heat source, for example, a mixture of two or more kinds of chemical substances in the nigiri part 2 or in the cooling chamber 6. An agent or ash ash is added to generate heat, and the nigiri 2 is heated. At this time, as the temperature rises, the gap portion 2 is covered with a cloth or put on a bag for heat insulation.

  The heat of the nigiri part 2 starts treatment when the entire temperature-cooled treatment device 1 and the conical cap body 4 reach a predetermined temperature. That is, it has the nigiri part 2 and presses the top 14 of the conical cap body 4 against the affected part together with the protrusion 13 of the presser 5. Depending on the patient's condition, how to apply force when pressing is appropriately changed. The protrusion 13 of the pressing element 5 is attacked in a narrow range of the affected part, and the pressing force is determined within a predetermined range by the elastic force of the spring 10. However, when more force is applied, the pressing element 5 is drawn into the conical cap body 4 and the pressing by the pressing element 5 is limited, but if more pressure is applied, the conical cap body 4 is applied. The top 14 of the head directly contacts the affected area, and the affected area is compressed over a wide range.

In the treatment using the protrusion 13 and the top 14 of the conical cap body 4, the same effect as that of acupressure treatment can be obtained by pressing the affected part without heating the nigiri part 2.
Furthermore, the heating of the nigiri part 2 or the sealing of the heating agent or the cooling agent into the cooling chamber 6 can be appropriately performed depending on the purpose of treatment. Further, the cap body internal spring or the pressing element can be detached depending on the situation.

In the treatment of acupuncture, either the protrusion 13 of the presser 5 can be changed to a sharp sword-shaped tip, or the tip can be treated with a sharp tip as shown in the figure.
Furthermore, especially when the nigiri part 2 is heated, if medicinal herbs or the like are inserted into the herbal chamber 8, for example, the medicinal extract is trapped in the conical cap body from the herbal chamber by heating, and this is the It is discharged to the outside from the blowout port 15 and adheres to the skin of the affected part being treated to give a medicinal effect to the part, or to disperse the fragrance to the outside.

Next, a second example of use of the thermotherapy device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In one of the above-mentioned usages, the crude drug room 8 is loaded with a crude drug, and the heating from the heating chamber 6 volatilizes the crude drug component and releases the crude drug component from the cap body 4 to adhere the crude drug component to the body skin. However, the example shown below makes it possible to apply a fluid component such as oil to the body skin surface.
An example is shown in FIG. The thermotherapy device 1 to be used is the same as the above-described use example, but is provided in the conical cap 4 and the absorbent material 16 such as oil is loaded into the small chamber 11. The liquid 16 having various components capable of exhibiting medicinal effects or cosmetic effects is absorbed in the absorbent 16 such as oil.

  In the illustrated example, an oil absorbing material 16 is inserted into the spring 10 pressing the protrusion 13 of the pressing element 5, and in use, the protrusion 13 is pressed against a desired location, so that the protrusion 13 is pressed. Is pushed into the conical cap 4, and the oil or the like absorbing material 16 is compressed by the sliding body 12, and the oil or the like contained therein is oozed out from the absorbing material 16, and is discharged from the outlet 15 at the tip of the conical cap 4. It flows out of the treatment device 1 and is applied to a desired area.

  In another example shown in FIG. 6, a continuous chamber 17 is provided in a conical cap 4 threadedly engaged with the protruding portion 3 of the nail portion 2, and is connected to the protruding portion 3 and the conical cap 4. Alternatively, an oil absorbing material 16 that absorbs liquid cosmetics or the like is inserted. An eye plate 18 is placed on the absorbing material 16 such as oil, and the eye plate 18 is constantly pressed by a spring 19 provided on the upper side to press the oil absorbing material 16. The continuous chamber 17 is provided with a vent hole 20 and an exudation hole 21.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, in use, the conical cap is removed from the protruding portion 3 of the nail portion 2, and an absorbent material 16 such as oil is disposed in the continuous chamber 17, and the absorbent material 16 such as oil is disposed. Oil or a desired cosmetic material is impregnated into the body, and the absorbent 16 such as oil is constantly pressed by the spring 19 through the eye plate 18 so that the oil or the like is oozed out of the conical cap 4 from the brewing hole 21. If the conical cap 4 in the state of exudation of oil or the like is pressed against the desired body part with the nail portion 2, the protrusion 13 can pierce the skin and coat the oil or the like.

  The thermotherapy device of the present invention can be operated not only by placing a heating element in the nigiri part, but also by cooling the treatment apparatus by inserting a cooling medium instead of the heating element and cooling the affected part. It is also possible to perform the above treatment, and it is also possible to perform treatment at room temperature without using a heating element cooling medium. Furthermore, massage treatment can be performed by pressing the nigiri part against the affected part.
