Particularly preferably, constricted concavities are formed in the side edge portions 11e on both sides of the substrate 11, respectively. By forming concave and constricted constricted portions on the side edge portions 11e on both sides of the substrate 11, for example, when performing massage by the acupuncture method, the thumb and little finger are placed on a predetermined part of the body to be massaged. As a result, the opening 14 is more reliably arranged near the finger crotch or the finger crotch. As a result, the sensory sensation can be realized at the finger crotch part of the hand, and the massage agent moves back and forth between the palm side and the body side through the opening, so that the massage agent can be easily applied with the sense of the palm. , Can be spread in an appropriate amount on an appropriate site.

  In the present embodiment, an opening 14 that penetrates the substrate 11 across the front and back is formed in the vicinity of the finger claw sandwiching grip 12. Since the opening 14 is formed in the vicinity of the finger claw sandwiching gripping part 12, the sensate-containing massage agent taken on the palm can easily move to the opening 14 along the palm. The opening 14 is preferably formed in the central region of the substrate 11, and in particular, a shape that wraps around the finger claw sandwiching grip 12 is preferable. Among them, a shape extending to at least one of the side surfaces of the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 is preferable, specifically, for example, having a substantially heart shape, a substantially concave shape, or a substantially bean shape, The sensate-containing massage agent taken on the palm is preferable because it can penetrate into the finger crotch region and massage can be performed while the sensation of the sensation agent is efficiently felt on the palm. Unlike the dotted holes and the linear slits, the opening 14 is formed as an opening hole having an opening width of a considerable size in the vertical and horizontal directions. Since the opening 14 is formed in the form as described above, the vertical direction of the finger claw sandwiching gripping part 12 having a flat vertical cross-sectional shape centered on the opening 14 is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction. It is possible to bend the substrate 11 by setting not only the intersecting direction but also any direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 as the direction of the bending valley line X (see FIG. 1). As a result, for example, when performing massage by the acupuncture method, the massage by the acupuncture method can be more effectively performed while the substrate 11 is bent along the shape of each part of the body having various three-dimensional shapes. It becomes possible. In addition, the sensate-containing massage agent taken on the palm easily moves to the opening 14 along the palm.

It is preferable to be formed on the substrate 11 so that Since the opening width of the opening 14 is 20 to 70% of the width of the substrate 11, the massage agent applied to the palm or applied to the body can be easily along the skin of the body while performing massage. In addition to being able to spread smoothly, it is possible to massage while feeling the coolness, warmth, warmth, etc. of the sensate component. If the opening width of the opening 14 is an appropriate size as described above with respect to the width of the substrate 11, the width of the portion where the opening 14 is not formed is secured to a certain extent and the substrate 11 is rigid against bending. Since the substrate becomes too small, it is possible to effectively avoid the occurrence of problems such as the substrate 11 being swung during the massage, or the sensory agent-containing massage agent taken on the palm protruding from the palm. Moreover, since the rigidity with respect to the bending of the substrate 11 can be sufficiently secured, it is preferable that the sensation agent-containing massage agent taken on the palm does not easily move to the opening 14 and does not occur.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is preferable that the opening part 14 has an opening area of ² to 24 cm ² . Since the opening 14 is formed so that the opening area is ² to 24 cm ² , the sensate-containing massage agent applied to the palm or applied to the body can be easily and smoothly along the skin of the body while performing massage. In addition to being able to spread on the skin, it is possible to massage while feeling the coolness, warmth, warmth, etc. of the sensory agent component in the palm. If the opening area of the opening 14 is an appropriate size as described above, the rigidity against deformation of the substrate 11 becomes too small, causing the substrate 11 to move during the massage, or a sensate-containing massage taken on the palm. It is possible to effectively avoid the problem that the agent protrudes from the palm. In addition, when the sensate-containing massage agent applied to the palm is applied to the body through the opening 14, the sensation agent-containing massage agent diffuses in the palm, and the sensation agent component feels cool, warm, and warm. This is preferable without causing a problem that it is difficult to perform.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the opening 14 preferably has an opening area of 2 to 25% of the substrate area. When the opening area is 2 to 25% of the substrate area, the sensory agent-containing massage agent applied to the palm or applied to the body can be easily and smoothly spread along the skin of the body while performing massage. In addition, it is possible to massage while feeling the cold feeling, warm feeling, and warm feeling of the sensate component in the palm. If the opening area of the opening 14 is an appropriate size as described above, the rigidity against deformation of the substrate 11 becomes too small, causing the substrate 11 to move during the massage, or a sensate-containing massage taken on the palm. It is possible to effectively avoid the problem that the agent protrudes from the palm. In addition, when the sensate-containing massage agent applied to the palm is applied to the body through the opening 14, the sensation agent-containing massage agent diffuses in the palm, and the sensation agent component feels cool, warm, and warm. This is preferable without causing a problem that it is difficult to perform.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the opening part 14 is formed in the magnitude | size which does not protrude from a palm. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the opening 14 is at most the size from the first joint of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger to the base of the thumb.

  Since the opening 14 is formed in a size that does not protrude from the palm, the massage agent moves back and forth between the palm side and the body side via the opening 14, so that the massage agent can be more easily performed with the sense of the palm. Can be spread in an appropriate amount on an appropriate site. In addition, the sensory agent-containing massage agent taken on the palm can move to the opening 14 along the palm. In addition, since the opening 14 is at most the size from the first joint of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger to the base of the thumb, the opening 14 is more reliably arranged near the finger crotch or finger crotch. Therefore, the sensory agent can be more effectively realized at the finger crotch portion of the hand.

  In the present embodiment, a surface rib 17 having a non-slip function is provided on one surface 11a of the substrate 11 on which the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 stands. In the present embodiment, the surface rib 17 is an abbreviated shape of the one surface 11a of the substrate 11 as a linear rib extending in a direction perpendicular to the vertically long direction of the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 having a flat vertically long cross-sectional shape. Over the entire region, a plurality of fingers are provided in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 at a predetermined interval. Since the surface rib 17 having a non-slip function is provided on the one surface 11a of the substrate 11, for example, when performing massage by acupuncture, it becomes more difficult to slip, so that the fit to the palm surface 11a is possible. Improves, and it becomes possible to perform massage by acupuncture more effectively. As a result, since the opening 14 is more reliably disposed in the finger crotch or in the vicinity of the finger crotch, the sensation agent can be more effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand, and the massage agent can be opened. By going back and forth between the palm side and the body side through the massage agent, it is possible to spread the massage agent in an appropriate amount in an appropriate amount more easily with the sense of the palm. In addition, the sensate-containing massage agent taken on the palm easily moves to the opening 14 along the palm.

  In this embodiment, the finger claw sandwiching grip 12 provided upright on one surface of the substrate 11 has a plate-like portion 16 having a flat and vertically long cross-sectional shape. Since the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 has a plate-like portion 16 having a flat and vertically long cross-sectional shape, the finger crotch sandwiching gripping portion 12 is, for example, a finger crotch between an index finger and a middle finger. The massage device 10 can be attached to the hand in a more stable state. As a result, since the opening 14 is more reliably disposed in the finger crotch or in the vicinity of the finger crotch, the sensation agent can be more effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand, and the massage agent can be opened. By going back and forth between the palm side and the body side through the massage agent, it is possible to spread the massage agent in an appropriate amount in an appropriate amount more easily with the sense of the palm. In addition, as for the horizontal width of the cross-sectional shape of the plate-shaped part 16 provided with a flat vertically long cross-sectional shape, 2-14 mm is preferable. By making such a width, the finger crotch is appropriately spread, so the sensate-containing massage agent spreads well to the base of the finger crotch part, thereby making the sensate more effective at the finger crotch part of the hand. It becomes possible to realize.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the finger crotch pinching and gripping portion 12 having the plate-like portion 16 has a shape in which the opening portion 14 turns around. That is, in the present embodiment, the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 has an opening formed in the central region of the substrate 11 with the base end portion 12a on the rear end edge portion 11c side of the substrate 11 in a flat vertically long cross-sectional shape. Fourteen substantially heart-shaped constricted portions are provided in close proximity. Further, the finger claw sandwiching grasping portion 12 extends from the central region of the substrate 11 toward the outer peripheral edge portion 11d, and preferably reaches the first joint of these fingers from the root of the finger crotch portion between the index finger and the middle finger. It extends in a length shorter than the length, and is provided in a region closer to the outer peripheral edge 11 d of the substrate 11 than the opening 14. Since the opening 14 is formed so as to wrap around the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12, specifically, in the present embodiment, the rear end outer peripheral edge portion 11c side of the substrate 11 of the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 is used. Since the base end portion 12a is arranged close to the opening 14, the substrate 11 can be bent easily when performing massage by the acupuncture method, so that the massage by the acupuncture method is effective. It becomes possible to do. The finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 having the plate-like portion 16 extends with a length shorter than the length from the root of the finger crotch between the index finger and the middle finger to the first joint of these fingers. Therefore, it is easy to bend these fingers downward at the first joint portion, and the sensate-containing massage agent taken on the palm easily moves to the opening 14 along the palm. Become.
