Description
本発明は、身体の一部に巻き付けて使用する磁気治療具に関する。 The present invention relates to a magnetic therapy device used by being wound around a body part.
従来より、磁気の作用による血行促進等の健康上の効果を目的として、ネックレスやブレスレット等の態様で身体の一部に巻き付けて使用する磁気治療具が公知である。特許文献１には、可撓性を有する長尺体内に磁石粒を等間隔に埋め込んだ磁気治療具が開示されている。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a magnetic treatment device is known that is wound around a part of the body in the form of a necklace or a bracelet for the purpose of health effects such as blood circulation promotion by magnetic action. Patent Document 1 discloses a magnetic therapy device in which magnet particles are embedded at equal intervals in a flexible long body.
しかしながら、特許文献１のように、可撓性を有する長尺体内に磁石粒を埋め込むようにすると、磁束密度は距離の二乗に反比例するため、長尺体表面での磁力が弱まり、血行促進等の効果が十分に発揮されない虞がある。すなわち、磁石粒を覆う可撓性を有する材料の厚みの分だけ磁石が身体から遠ざかり、十分な磁力が発揮されないことが危惧される。 However, as in Patent Document 1, when magnet grains are embedded in a flexible long body, the magnetic flux density is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, so the magnetic force on the surface of the long body is weakened, blood circulation promotion, etc. There is a possibility that the effect of is not fully exhibited. That is, there is a concern that the magnet moves away from the body by the thickness of the flexible material that covers the magnet grains, and sufficient magnetic force is not exhibited.
本発明は、十分な磁力を発揮することができ、血行促進等の健康上の効果を高めることが可能な磁気治療具を提供することを目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic therapy device that can exert a sufficient magnetic force and can enhance health effects such as blood circulation promotion.
本発明の第１観点に係る磁気治療具は、身体の一部に巻き付けて使用する磁気治療具であって、可撓性を有する長尺体と、前記長尺体内に長手方向に沿って配列される複数の磁石とを備える。前記長尺体は、長手方向に沿って湾曲している。前記複数の磁石には、前記長尺体内において前記長尺体の中心軸から前記長尺体の湾曲の中心に向かって偏心して配置される少なくとも１つの偏心磁石が含まれる。 A magnetic treatment device according to a first aspect of the present invention is a magnetic treatment device that is used by being wound around a part of a body, and has a flexible elongated body and an array along the longitudinal direction within the elongated body. A plurality of magnets. The elongate body is curved along the longitudinal direction. The plurality of magnets include at least one eccentric magnet arranged eccentrically from a central axis of the elongated body toward a center of curvature of the elongated body in the elongated body.
ここでは、長尺体が、長手方向に沿って湾曲して形成される。そして、少なくとも１つの磁石（偏心磁石）が、長尺体内において、長尺体の中心軸から長尺体の湾曲の中心に向かって偏心して配置される。そのため、長尺体の有する湾曲癖により、磁気治療具を身体に容易に巻き付けることができるとともに、磁気治療具を身体に巻き付けようとしたときに、使用者が意識せずとも、偏心磁石は自然とループの内側に偏って配置される。すなわち、磁気治療具の装着時において、偏心磁石が身体に近い位置に維持される。従って、ここでは、長尺体の表面において十分な磁力を発揮することが可能な磁気治療具が提供され、血行促進等の健康上の効果が高められる。 Here, the long body is formed to be curved along the longitudinal direction. And at least 1 magnet (eccentric magnet) is eccentrically arranged in the long body from the central axis of the long body toward the center of curvature of the long body. For this reason, the magnetic treatment device can be easily wrapped around the body by the curved folds of the long body, and the eccentric magnet is naturally natural even if the user is not conscious when trying to wrap the magnetic treatment device around the body. And it is arranged biased inside the loop. That is, the eccentric magnet is maintained at a position close to the body when the magnetic therapy device is mounted. Therefore, here, a magnetic treatment device capable of exerting a sufficient magnetic force on the surface of the elongated body is provided, and health effects such as blood circulation promotion are enhanced.
本発明の第２観点に係る磁気治療具は、第１観点に係る磁気治療具であって、前記複数の磁石には、２以上の偏心磁石が含まれる。前記偏心磁石とは、前記長尺体内において前記長尺体の中心軸から前記長尺体の湾曲の中心に向かって偏心して配置される磁石である。前記長尺体内には、前記２以上の偏心磁石が長手方向に沿って概ね等間隔に配列されている。 A magnetic treatment device according to a second aspect of the present invention is the magnetic treatment device according to the first aspect, wherein the plurality of magnets include two or more eccentric magnets. The eccentric magnet is a magnet arranged eccentrically from the central axis of the long body toward the center of curvature of the long body in the long body. In the elongated body, the two or more eccentric magnets are arranged at approximately equal intervals along the longitudinal direction.
ここでは、長尺体内に、２以上の偏心磁石が長手方向に沿って概ね等間隔に配列される。その結果、磁気治療具が巻き付けられた身体の部位において、強い磁力の作用を概ね均等に及ぼすことができる。 Here, two or more eccentric magnets are arranged in the long body at approximately equal intervals along the longitudinal direction. As a result, the action of a strong magnetic force can be exerted almost uniformly on the part of the body around which the magnetic therapy device is wound.
本発明の第３観点に係る磁気治療具は、第１観点又第２観点に係る磁気治療具であって、前記複数の磁石には、相対的に磁力の強い２以上の強磁石と、相対的に磁力の弱い２以上の弱磁石とが含まれる。前記長尺体内には、前記２以上の強磁石が長手方向に沿って概ね等間隔に配列されている。 A magnetic treatment device according to a third aspect of the present invention is the magnetic treatment device according to the first and second aspects, wherein the plurality of magnets include two or more strong magnets having a relatively strong magnetic force, And two or more weak magnets having a weak magnetic force. In the elongated body, the two or more strong magnets are arranged at approximately equal intervals along the longitudinal direction.
長尺体内に相対的に磁力の強い強磁石のみを配置すると、時として磁力が強くなり過ぎる。かといって、相対的に磁力の弱い弱磁石のみを配置すると、強い磁力を発揮する部分が無くなり、十分な磁力の効果を得られないことも考えられる。しかしながら、ここでは、強磁石及び弱磁石が組み合わせて使用される。また、２以上の強磁石が長手方向に沿って概ね等間隔に配列される。その結果、強磁石により概ね等間隔にピンポイントで強い磁力を発揮しつつ、全体としての磁力が強くなり過ぎることのないバランスのとれた磁力の効果が得られる。 If only a strong magnet having a relatively strong magnetic force is arranged in the long body, sometimes the magnetic force becomes too strong. However, if only a weak magnet having a relatively weak magnetic force is disposed, there is no portion that exerts a strong magnetic force, and a sufficient magnetic force effect cannot be obtained. However, here, a strong magnet and a weak magnet are used in combination. Two or more strong magnets are arranged at substantially equal intervals along the longitudinal direction. As a result, it is possible to obtain a balanced magnetic force effect that does not become too strong as a whole while exhibiting a strong magnetic force at approximately equal intervals with a strong magnet.
本発明の第４観点に係る磁気治療具は、第３観点に係る磁気治療具であって、前記強磁石は、前記偏心磁石である。 A magnetic treatment device according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the magnetic treatment device according to the third aspect, wherein the strong magnet is the eccentric magnet.
ここでは、相対的に磁力の強い強磁石が、長尺体内において、長尺体の中心軸から長尺体の湾曲の中心に向かって偏心して配置される。従って、磁気治療具を身体に装着した状態において、強磁石が身体に近い位置に維持されることになり、強磁石の強い磁力の効果をさらに高めることができる。 Here, a strong magnet having a relatively strong magnetic force is arranged eccentrically from the central axis of the long body toward the center of curvature of the long body in the long body. Accordingly, the strong magnet is maintained at a position close to the body in a state where the magnetic treatment device is mounted on the body, and the effect of the strong magnetic force of the strong magnet can be further enhanced.
本発明によれば、長尺体の表面において十分な磁力を発揮することが可能な磁気治療具が提供され、血行促進等の健康上の効果が高められる。 ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the magnetic treatment tool which can exhibit sufficient magnetic force in the surface of an elongate body is provided, and health effects, such as blood circulation promotion, are improved.
以下、図面を参照しつつ、本発明の一実施形態に係る磁気治療具について説明する。 Hereinafter, a magnetic therapy device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
＜１．磁気治療具の構成＞
図１に、本実施形態に係る磁気治療具１の外観図を示す。磁気治療具１は、磁気の作用による血行促進等の健康上の効果を目的として、身体の一部に巻き付けて使用するものである。図１に示すように、磁気治療具１は、可撓性を有する長尺体１０を有し、長尺体１０内には、複数の磁石２１，２２が長手方向に沿って離間した態様で埋め込まれている。なお、長尺体１０は、透明であっても不透明であってもよく、不透明の場合には磁石２１，２２を外部から視認することができないが、図１では説明の便宜上、磁石２１，２２が実線で示されている。なお、他の図においても同様に、長尺体１０及び後述するトップパイプ４４が不透明の場合には視認することができない内部の構成が実線で示されている。
<1. Configuration of magnetic therapy device>
In FIG. 1, the external view of the magnetic therapy tool 1 which concerns on this embodiment is shown. The magnetic treatment device 1 is used by being wrapped around a part of the body for the purpose of health effects such as blood circulation promotion by the action of magnetism. As shown in FIG. 1, the magnetic treatment device 1 has a long body 10 having flexibility, and in the long body 10, a plurality of magnets 21 and 22 are separated in the longitudinal direction. Embedded. The long body 10 may be transparent or opaque, and in the case of being opaque, the magnets 21 and 22 cannot be visually recognized from the outside. However, in FIG. Is shown as a solid line. In the other drawings as well, the internal configuration that cannot be visually recognized when the long body 10 and a top pipe 44 described later are opaque is indicated by a solid line.
磁気治療具１は、図２に示す磁気治療具１ａを２つ用意し、これを連結具３０，４０（図３及び図４参照）を用いて連結したものである。ただし、１つの磁気治療具１ａの両端を連結具３０を用いてループ状に連結することにより（連結具４０を用いてもよい）、磁気治療具１よりも短い磁気治療具を形成することも可能である。このように磁気治療具１ａを１つだけ使用した磁気治療具は、ブレスレットとしてより細い腕回りに装着するのに適している。一方、２つの磁気治療具１ａをループ状に連結した磁気治療具１は、ネックレスとしてより太い首回りに装着するのに適している。ただし、身体の装着箇所はこれに限られず、足首等、血行促進等の磁力の効果を必要とする身体の任意の部位に装着することができる。また、追加の連結具４０を用いて（連結具３０を用いてもよい）、３つ以上の磁気治療具１ａをループ状に連結することもできる。 The magnetic therapy device 1 is prepared by preparing two magnetic therapy devices 1a shown in FIG. 2 and connecting them using connecting tools 30 and 40 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). However, it is also possible to form a magnetic treatment tool shorter than the magnetic treatment tool 1 by connecting both ends of one magnetic treatment tool 1a in a loop shape using the connection tool 30 (the connection tool 40 may be used). Is possible. Thus, the magnetic treatment device using only one magnetic treatment device 1a is suitable for being worn around a thinner arm as a bracelet. On the other hand, the magnetic treatment device 1 in which two magnetic treatment devices 1a are connected in a loop shape is suitable for being worn as a necklace around a thicker neck. However, the attachment location of the body is not limited to this, and it can be attached to any part of the body that requires the effect of magnetic force such as blood circulation promotion such as an ankle. In addition, it is also possible to connect three or more magnetic therapy devices 1a in a loop using an additional connector 40 (or the connector 30 may be used).
図２に示すように、磁気治療具１ａは、長尺体１０ａと、長尺体１０ａ内に長手方向に沿って配列される複数の磁石２１，２２とを有する。なお、長尺体１０ａは、もう１つの長尺体１０ａと併せて、長尺体１０を構成する。長尺体１０ａは、複数の磁石２１，２２が埋め込まれる長尺状の本体部１１と、本体部１１の一端に配置される連結部１２と、本体部１１の他端に配置される連結部１３とを有する。本体部１１は、内部の磁石２１，２２の全方位を覆う中実の部材である。従って、磁石２１，２２は、本体部１１内で移動することはできない。なお、本体部１１内に部分的に空隙を設けることもできる。 As shown in FIG. 2, the magnetic therapy device 1a has a long body 10a and a plurality of magnets 21 and 22 arranged in the long body 10a along the longitudinal direction. The long body 10a constitutes the long body 10 together with another long body 10a. The long body 10a includes a long main body portion 11 in which a plurality of magnets 21 and 22 are embedded, a connecting portion 12 disposed at one end of the main body portion 11, and a connecting portion disposed at the other end of the main body portion 11. 13. The main body 11 is a solid member that covers all the directions of the internal magnets 21 and 22. Therefore, the magnets 21 and 22 cannot move within the main body 11. A gap may be partially provided in the main body 11.
本実施形態に係る長尺体１０ａは、シリコーンゴム製である。しかしながら、長尺体１０ａの材料はこれに限定されず、図１に示すように磁気治療具１をループ状に曲げることができる程度の可撓性を有する限り、様々な材料を選択することができる。例えば、シリコーンゴム以外のゴム材料や、軟質のエラストマー、軟質の樹脂等を選択することができ、ウレタンゴムやニトリルブタジエンラバー等が好適に選択され得る。ただし、肌への悪影響が比較的小さいという点では、シリコーンゴムが選択されることが好ましい。また、シリコーンゴムは、その柔らかな肌触りの点でも好ましい。なお、特開２００８−１７３４０５号公報に開示されるように、シリコーンゴムの主材料に磁性粉を混合した混合物により形成される磁気治療具が公知である。そして、このような磁性粉を含む磁気治療具の場合、磁気治療具が装着者の汗等に触れることで、磁性粉が水分を抱え込み、稀に膨潤が起こることがある。しかしながら、本実施形態では、長尺体１０ａが磁性分を含むものではないため、このような膨潤が防止される。 The long body 10a according to the present embodiment is made of silicone rubber. However, the material of the long body 10a is not limited to this, and various materials can be selected as long as the material is flexible enough to bend the magnetic treatment device 1 in a loop shape as shown in FIG. it can. For example, rubber materials other than silicone rubber, soft elastomers, soft resins, and the like can be selected, and urethane rubber, nitrile butadiene rubber, and the like can be suitably selected. However, silicone rubber is preferably selected from the viewpoint that the adverse effect on the skin is relatively small. Silicone rubber is also preferable in terms of its soft touch. As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-173405, a magnetic therapy device formed by a mixture in which magnetic powder is mixed with a main material of silicone rubber is known. And in the case of the magnetic treatment tool containing such magnetic powder, when a magnetic treatment tool touches a wearer's sweat etc., magnetic powder will carry a water | moisture content and swelling may occur rarely. However, in this embodiment, since the elongate body 10a does not contain a magnetic component, such swelling is prevented.
図３は、連結部１２，１２の連結構造を示す図である。連結部１２，１２は、連結具３０を介して着脱自在に連結される。連結部１２は、本体部１１よりもやや拡径しており、内部に連結具３０の概ね半分を受け入れることができる開口Ｓ１が形成されている。連結具３０は、樹脂製のピン状部材であり、本体軸３１と、本体軸３１の両端に配置されるストッパ３２，３３と、本体軸３１の中央よりもややストッパ３３側の位置に配置されるストッパ３４とを有する。ストッパ３２〜３４は、全て本体軸３１よりも径の大きいフランジ状の部位であり、ストッパ３３、ストッパ３４、ストッパ３２の順に径が大きい。連結部１２の開口Ｓ１は、このような連結具３０の形状に対応するように、連結具３０の長さの概ね半分の奥行を有する。また、開口Ｓ１は、最も径の大きい最奥部Ｓ１１と、これよりも径の小さい中央部Ｓ１２と、最奥部Ｓ１１よりも径が小さく中央部Ｓ１２よりも径の大きい入口部Ｓ１３とを有する。中央部Ｓ１２は、本体軸３１を受け取る開口であり、最奥部Ｓ１１は、ストッパ３３又はストッパ３２を受け取る開口である。入口部Ｓ１３は、ストッパ３４を受け取ることができる。そして、一方の連結部１２の開口Ｓ１にストッパ３３，３４を挿入し、他方の連結部１２の開口Ｓ１にストッパ３２を挿入することで、連結部１２，１２が連結される。連結部１２，１２を一度連結してしまうと、ストッパ３２はストッパ３３よりも径が小さいため、連結部１２からのストッパ３３の取り外しは困難であるが、ストッパ３２の取り外しは比較的容易である。従って、ストッパ３２をこれを受け入れる連結部１２の開口Ｓ１に対し着脱することで、装着者の首回り等の部位に対する磁気治療具１の着脱が容易となる。なお、連結部１２，１２は、可撓性を有するシリコーンゴム製であるため、このような材料の弾性により、連結具３０との着脱が容易に実現されるようになっている。 FIG. 3 is a view showing a connecting structure of the connecting portions 12 and 12. The connecting portions 12 and 12 are detachably connected via a connector 30. The connecting portion 12 has a diameter that is slightly larger than that of the main body portion 11, and an opening S <b> 1 that can receive approximately half of the connecting tool 30 is formed therein. The connector 30 is a resin pin-like member, and is disposed at a position slightly closer to the stopper 33 than the center of the body shaft 31, the body shaft 31, stoppers 32 and 33 disposed at both ends of the body shaft 31, and the center shaft 31. And a stopper 34. The stoppers 32 to 34 are all flange-shaped portions having a diameter larger than that of the main body shaft 31, and the diameters are larger in the order of the stopper 33, the stopper 34, and the stopper 32. The opening S <b> 1 of the connecting portion 12 has a depth that is substantially half the length of the connecting tool 30 so as to correspond to the shape of the connecting tool 30. In addition, the opening S1 has a deepest portion S11 having the largest diameter, a central portion S12 having a smaller diameter, and an inlet portion S13 having a diameter smaller than the deepest portion S11 and larger than the central portion S12. . The central portion S12 is an opening that receives the main body shaft 31, and the innermost portion S11 is an opening that receives the stopper 33 or the stopper 32. The inlet portion S13 can receive the stopper 34. Then, the stoppers 33 and 34 are inserted into the opening S1 of the one connecting portion 12, and the stopper 32 is inserted into the opening S1 of the other connecting portion 12, whereby the connecting portions 12 and 12 are connected. Once the connecting portions 12 and 12 are connected, the stopper 32 has a smaller diameter than the stopper 33, so that it is difficult to remove the stopper 33 from the connecting portion 12, but the stopper 32 is relatively easy to remove. . Therefore, by attaching / detaching the stopper 32 to / from the opening S1 of the connecting portion 12 that receives the stopper 32, the magnetic treatment device 1 can be easily attached / detached to / from a site such as the neck of the wearer. In addition, since the connection parts 12 and 12 are the products made from the silicone rubber which has flexibility, attachment / detachment with the connection tool 30 is easily implement | achieved by the elasticity of such a material.
図４は、連結部１３，１３の連結構造を示す図である。連結部１３，１３は、連結部１２，１２と異なり、取り外しが想定されておらず、連結具４０を介して着脱が困難に連結されている。連結部１３は、連結部１２と同様の構成を有している。一方、連結具４０は、樹脂製のピン状部材であり、本体軸４１と、本体軸４１の両端に配置されるストッパ４２，４３とを有する。ストッパ４２，４３は、本体軸４１よりも径が大きく、上述のストッパ３３と同程度の径を有する。従って、ストッパ４２，４３を一度連結部１３，１３の開口Ｓ１に挿入してしまうと、連結部１３，１３の取り外しは困難となる。また、本体軸４１は、連結具３０の本体軸３１よりも長く、本体軸４１周りには、トップパイプ４４が取り付けられている。本実施形態に係るトップパイプ４４は、長尺体１０ａと同様にシリコーンゴムから形成されるが、異なる材料で形成することもできる。トップパイプ４４は、装飾部となり得る。従って、トップパイプ４４の材質や色や形状等を工夫することにより、磁気治療具１のアクセサリーとしての付加価値を高めることができる。 FIG. 4 is a view showing a connecting structure of the connecting portions 13 and 13. Unlike the connection parts 12 and 12, the connection parts 13 and 13 are not assumed to be detached, and are connected to each other through the connection tool 40 so that the connection parts 13 and 13 are difficult to attach and detach. The connecting portion 13 has the same configuration as the connecting portion 12. On the other hand, the connector 40 is a resin-made pin-like member, and includes a main body shaft 41 and stoppers 42 and 43 disposed at both ends of the main body shaft 41. The stoppers 42 and 43 are larger in diameter than the main body shaft 41 and have the same diameter as the stopper 33 described above. Accordingly, once the stoppers 42 and 43 are inserted into the openings S1 of the connecting portions 13 and 13, it is difficult to remove the connecting portions 13 and 13. The main body shaft 41 is longer than the main body shaft 31 of the connector 30, and a top pipe 44 is attached around the main body shaft 41. The top pipe 44 according to the present embodiment is formed of silicone rubber similarly to the long body 10a, but may be formed of a different material. The top pipe 44 can be a decorative part. Therefore, by devising the material, color, shape, and the like of the top pipe 44, the added value as an accessory of the magnetic therapy device 1 can be increased.
次に、磁石２１，２２について説明する。磁石２１，２２は、各々直方体状であり、磁石２１は、磁石２２よりも磁石単体での磁力が強い。図１に示すように、本実施形態では、４つの磁石２１が、ループ状の磁気治療具１の長手方向に沿って概ね等間隔に（概ね９０°間隔で）配置される。そして、これら４つの磁石２１の間を概ね等間隔に埋めるように、磁石２２が配置される。磁石２２は、隣接する磁石２１，２１間に４つずつ配置される。なお、磁石２１，２２全体の配列も、概ね等間隔である。ただし、連結部１２，１３近傍の磁石間の間隔は、連結部１２，１３から遠い本体部１１の中央における磁石間の間隔よりも若干短くなるように設計されている。これは、磁気治療具１をループ状に連結した場合において、磁石の埋め込まれていない連結部１２，１２及び連結部１３，１３の近傍では磁力が弱まるため、これを補完するためである。 Next, the magnets 21 and 22 will be described. Each of the magnets 21 and 22 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the magnet 21 is stronger in magnetism than the magnet 22. As shown in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, four magnets 21 are arranged at approximately equal intervals (approximately 90 ° intervals) along the longitudinal direction of the loop-shaped magnetic treatment device 1. And the magnet 22 is arrange | positioned so that between these four magnets 21 may be filled at equal intervals. Four magnets 22 are arranged between adjacent magnets 21 and 21. In addition, the arrangement | sequence of the whole magnets 21 and 22 is also substantially equal intervals. However, the interval between the magnets in the vicinity of the connecting portions 12 and 13 is designed to be slightly shorter than the interval between the magnets in the center of the main body 11 far from the connecting portions 12 and 13. This is because, when the magnetic therapy device 1 is connected in a loop shape, the magnetic force is weakened in the vicinity of the connecting portions 12 and 12 and the connecting portions 13 and 13 where the magnet is not embedded, so that this is complemented.
ところで、磁気治療具１内に相対的に磁力の強い磁石２１のみを配置すると、時として磁力が強くなり過ぎる。かといって、相対的に磁力の弱い磁石２２のみを配置すると、強い磁力を発揮する部分が無くなり、十分な磁力の効果を得られないことも考えられる。しかしながら、本実施形態では、以上のような磁石２１，２２の配置により、磁石２１により概ね等間隔にピンポイントで強い磁力を発揮しつつ、全体としての磁力が強くなり過ぎることのないバランスのとれた磁力の効果が発揮されるようになっている。 By the way, if only the relatively strong magnet 21 is disposed in the magnetic treatment device 1, the magnetic force sometimes becomes too strong. However, if only the magnet 22 having a relatively weak magnetic force is arranged, there is no portion that exhibits a strong magnetic force, and a sufficient magnetic force effect cannot be obtained. However, in this embodiment, with the arrangement of the magnets 21 and 22 as described above, the magnet 21 exerts a strong magnetic force in a pinpoint manner at approximately equal intervals, and the overall magnetic force does not become too strong. The effect of the magnetic force is demonstrated.
図２は、磁気治療具１ａを両端から引っ張り、これを直線状に伸ばした様子を示している。しかしながら、長尺体１０ａ、ひいては磁気治療具１ａは、外力を加えていない状態では、長手方向に沿って自然と一定の方向に湾曲するように形成されている。従って、このような磁気治療具１ａ，１ａを連結具３０，４０を用いてループ状に形成するとき、磁気治療具１においてループの中心を向く面は一定となる。そして、このような磁気治療具１ａの有する湾曲癖により、磁気治療具１ａは容易に身体に巻き付けることが可能になる。なお、長尺体１０ａのこのような湾曲癖は、後述する製造方法によって与えられるが、湾曲癖を与える方法は、これに限られない。例えば、長尺体１０ａをその中心軸Ａ１に平行な面で仮想的に分断した２つの部分を可撓性の異なる材料から形成することで、湾曲癖を生じさせることができる。このような磁気治療具１では、可撓性のより大きい部分が自然と内側に配置され、可撓性のより小さい部分が自然と外側に配置されることになる。或いは、湾曲癖は、長尺体１０ａをその中心軸Ａ１に平行な面で仮想的に分断した２つの部分を、収縮率の異なる材料で形成することでも生じさせることができる。 FIG. 2 shows a state in which the magnetic therapy device 1a is pulled from both ends and stretched linearly. However, the long body 10a, and hence the magnetic treatment device 1a, is formed so as to be naturally curved in a certain direction along the longitudinal direction when no external force is applied. Therefore, when such magnetic treatment tools 1a and 1a are formed in a loop shape using the connecting tools 30 and 40, the surface facing the center of the loop in the magnetic treatment device 1 is constant. Then, the magnetic treatment device 1a can be easily wrapped around the body by the curved scissors of the magnetic treatment device 1a. In addition, although such a curved wrinkle of the elongate body 10a is given by the manufacturing method mentioned later, the method of giving a curved wrinkle is not restricted to this. For example, a curved wrinkle can be generated by forming two portions obtained by virtually dividing the long body 10a along a plane parallel to the central axis A1 from materials having different flexibility. In such a magnetic treatment device 1, a portion having greater flexibility is naturally arranged on the inner side, and a portion having smaller flexibility is naturally arranged on the outer side. Alternatively, the curved wrinkles can also be generated by forming two portions of the long body 10a that are virtually divided by a plane parallel to the central axis A1 with materials having different shrinkage rates.
図５は、図１のＶ−Ｖ断面図であり、図６は、図１のＶＩ−ＶＩ断面図である。同図に示すように、磁石２２の中心は、長尺体１０の中心軸Ａ１に概ね重なる。一方、磁石２１は、長尺体１０内において、長尺体１０の中心軸Ａ１から上述の湾曲癖による磁気治療具１の湾曲の中心に向かって偏心して配置される。言い換えると、磁石２１を覆うシリコーンゴム部分のうち、磁気治療具１をループ状に巻いたときに上述した湾曲癖によって自然と磁石２１の内側にくる部分の厚みが、自然と磁石２１の外側にくる部分の厚みよりも薄くなるように構成されている。その結果、磁気治療具１を身体に巻き付けようとしたときに、使用者が意識せずとも、磁石２１は自然とループの内側に偏って配置される。従って、磁気治療具１の装着時において、磁石２１は身体の近傍に配置されることになり、血行促進等の十分な磁力の効果が発揮される。また、装着者の運動に伴って磁気治療具１が回転し、磁石２１の位置が移動することがあるが、磁石２１の移動の方向は原則として磁気治療具１のループの周方向に限られる。すなわち、磁気治療具１の有する湾曲癖により、磁気治療具１がループの径方向に回転することは起こりにくく、磁石２１は常に身体に近い位置に維持される。 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VV in FIG. 1, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VI-VI in FIG. As shown in the figure, the center of the magnet 22 substantially overlaps the central axis A <b> 1 of the long body 10. On the other hand, the magnet 21 is arranged in the long body 10 so as to be decentered from the central axis A1 of the long body 10 toward the center of bending of the magnetic treatment device 1 by the above-described bending scissors. In other words, of the silicone rubber part covering the magnet 21, the thickness of the part that naturally comes to the inside of the magnet 21 by the curved scissors when the magnetic treatment device 1 is wound in a loop shape is naturally outside the magnet 21. It is comprised so that it may become thinner than the thickness of the coming part. As a result, when the magnetic treatment tool 1 is to be wrapped around the body, the magnet 21 is naturally arranged on the inner side of the loop without being conscious of the user. Therefore, when the magnetic therapy device 1 is mounted, the magnet 21 is disposed in the vicinity of the body, and a sufficient magnetic force effect such as blood circulation promotion is exhibited. In addition, the magnetic therapy device 1 may rotate with the movement of the wearer and the position of the magnet 21 may move. However, the direction of movement of the magnet 21 is limited to the circumferential direction of the loop of the magnetic therapy device 1 in principle. . That is, it is difficult for the magnetic treatment device 1 to rotate in the radial direction of the loop due to the curved scissors of the magnetic treatment device 1, and the magnet 21 is always maintained at a position close to the body.
磁気治療具１の各部の寸法及び材質は、適宜設定することが可能であるが、本実施形態では、好適な一例として、以下の通り設定されている。すなわち、磁石２１，２２及び磁石２１，２２周りのシリコーンゴム部分の、磁気治療具１の径方向断面における寸法は、図５及び図６に示すとおりである。また、磁気治療具１の長手方向に沿った磁石２１，２２の寸法は、それぞれ１０.０６ｍｍ、６．００ｍｍである。また、本実施形態では、好適な一例として、磁石２１として、サマリウムコバルト磁石（構成比率：Ｓｍ２２％，Ｃｏ６２．５％，Ｐｒ１５％，Ｆｅ０．１６％，Ｓｎ０．３４％）が選択され、磁石２２として、湿式異方性ストロンチウムフェライト磁石（構成比率：ＳｒＯ１０％，Ｆｅ2Ｏ3９０％）が選択される。また、磁石２１の表面での磁束密度は約３５０ｍＴであり、磁石２２の表面での磁束密度は約１２０ｍＴである。さらに、長尺体１０の表面での磁石２１の磁束密度は約１５０ｍＴであり（磁石２１に最も近い位置で計測）、長尺体１０の表面での磁石２２の磁束密度は約７０ｍＴである（磁石２２に最も近い位置で計測）。連結具３０，４０の材料としては、ポリアセタール樹脂が選択される。 Although the dimension and material of each part of the magnetic therapy device 1 can be set as appropriate, in the present embodiment, as a suitable example, they are set as follows. That is, the dimensions of the magnets 21 and 22 and the silicone rubber portions around the magnets 21 and 22 in the radial cross section of the magnetic therapy device 1 are as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. Moreover, the dimensions of the magnets 21 and 22 along the longitudinal direction of the magnetic therapy device 1 are 10.06 mm and 6.00 mm, respectively. In the present embodiment, as a suitable example, a samarium cobalt magnet (component ratio: Sm22%, Co62.5%, Pr15%, Fe0.16%, Sn0.34%) is selected as the magnet 21, and the magnet 22 is selected. As a wet anisotropic strontium ferrite magnet (component ratio: SrO 10%, Fe 2 O 3 90%) is selected. The magnetic flux density on the surface of the magnet 21 is about 350 mT, and the magnetic flux density on the surface of the magnet 22 is about 120 mT. Furthermore, the magnetic flux density of the magnet 21 on the surface of the long body 10 is about 150 mT (measured at a position closest to the magnet 21), and the magnetic flux density of the magnet 22 on the surface of the long body 10 is about 70 mT ( (Measured at a position closest to the magnet 22). A polyacetal resin is selected as a material for the couplers 30 and 40.
＜２．製造方法＞
以下、本実施形態に係る上述の磁気治療具１の製造方法について説明する。本製造方法では、一次成型及び二次成型の２回の成型を経て、磁気治療具１が製造される。
<2. Manufacturing method>
Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the above-described magnetic therapy device 1 according to this embodiment will be described. In this manufacturing method, the magnetic treatment tool 1 is manufactured through two moldings of primary molding and secondary molding.
まず、長尺体１０の材料となるシリコーンゴム製のシートを製造する。このシートは、例えば、シリコーンゴムコンパウンドに、適宜加硫剤及び顔料を加えて混練し、これをシート状に形成することで製造される。なお、本実施形態では、好適な一例として、シリコーンゴムコンパウンド及び加硫剤として、モメンティブ・パフォーマンス・マテリアルズ・ジャパン合同会社製のシリコーンゴムコンパウンド（ＴＳＥ２６０−７Ｕ）及び添加剤（ＴＣ−８Ｅ）が使用される。 First, a sheet made of silicone rubber that is a material of the long body 10 is manufactured. This sheet is produced, for example, by adding a vulcanizing agent and a pigment as appropriate to a silicone rubber compound and kneading them to form a sheet. In the present embodiment, as a suitable example, as a silicone rubber compound and a vulcanizing agent, a silicone rubber compound (TSE260-7U) and an additive (TC-8E) manufactured by Momentive Performance Materials Japan LLC. used.
続いて、以上のシートから、概ね長尺体１０ａの本体部１１の半体の形状を有する長尺状の部材を切り出す。なお、本体部１１の半体とは、本体部１１を、長手方向に沿って延びる中心軸Ａ１を含む面で仮想的に分断した一方の部分である。また、この半体は、本体部１１のうち、磁気治療具１をループ状に巻いたときに上述した湾曲癖によって外側にくる部分に相当する。この意味で、以下、ここでカットされる長尺状の部材を、外側半体と呼ぶ。 Then, the long member which has the shape of the half of the main-body part 11 of the elongate body 10a from the above sheet | seat is cut out. In addition, the half body of the main-body part 11 is one part which divided | segmented the main-body part 11 virtually on the surface containing central axis A1 extended along a longitudinal direction. Further, this half corresponds to a portion of the main body 11 that comes outside due to the above-described curved scissors when the magnetic therapy device 1 is wound in a loop shape. In this sense, hereinafter, the long member cut here is referred to as an outer half.
また、磁気治療具１内に埋め込まれる磁石２１，２２を必要な数だけ準備する。本実施形態では、シリコーンゴム製の外側半体との接着性を確保すべく、磁石２１，２２の表面には、接着剤や密着性向上剤の役割を果たす適当なプライマー液が塗布される。プライマー液としては、磁石２１，２２の磁束に変動を与えないものを選定することが好ましく、例えば、昆山健翔硅？材料有限公司製のＪＸ−２０１を使用することができる。また、磁石が錆びやすい種類のもの、例えば、サマリウムコバルト磁石等であれば、プライマー液の塗布の前に防錆目的の塗装をすることが好ましい。 In addition, a necessary number of magnets 21 and 22 to be embedded in the magnetic therapy device 1 are prepared. In the present embodiment, an appropriate primer solution serving as an adhesive or an adhesion improver is applied to the surfaces of the magnets 21 and 22 in order to ensure adhesion to the outer half made of silicone rubber. It is preferable to select a primer solution that does not change the magnetic fluxes of the magnets 21 and 22, for example, Kunshan Kensho? JX-201 manufactured by Materials Co., Ltd. can be used. Further, if the magnet is of a kind that easily rusts, such as a samarium cobalt magnet, it is preferable to apply a rust preventive coating before applying the primer solution.
以上の準備が終わると、一次成型が行われる。一次成型では、図７及び図８に示す一対の金型５１，５２が使用される。金型５１は、一方の面５１ａに外側半体の形状の溝５１ｂが多数本形成された板状の部材である。金型５２は、一方の面５２ａに磁石２１，２２を配置可能な直方体状の開口５２ｂ，５２ｃが多数形成された板状の部材である。なお、開口５２ｂは、磁石２１をセットするための開口であり、開口５２ｃは、磁石２２をセットするための開口である。開口５２ｂ，５２ｃは、金型５１，５２の面５１ａ，５２ａを対面させたときに、溝５１ｂに対面する位置に配置されている。また、開口５２ｂ，５２ｃは、金型５２の面５２ａ上において、磁気治療具１ａの完成品内での磁石２１，２２の配列順及び間隔に従って形成されている。 When the above preparation is completed, primary molding is performed. In the primary molding, a pair of molds 51 and 52 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 are used. The mold 51 is a plate-like member in which a large number of outer half-shaped grooves 51b are formed on one surface 51a. The mold 52 is a plate-like member in which a large number of rectangular parallelepiped openings 52b and 52c in which magnets 21 and 22 can be arranged are formed on one surface 52a. The opening 52b is an opening for setting the magnet 21, and the opening 52c is an opening for setting the magnet 22. The openings 52b and 52c are arranged at positions facing the groove 51b when the surfaces 51a and 52a of the molds 51 and 52 are opposed to each other. The openings 52b and 52c are formed on the surface 52a of the mold 52 in accordance with the arrangement order and intervals of the magnets 21 and 22 in the completed product of the magnetic therapy device 1a.
そして、金型５１の各溝５１ｂに外側半体を充填し、金型５２の各開口５２ｂ，５２ｃにそれぞれ磁石２１，２２をセットする。そして、図９に示すように、面５１ａ，５２ａどうしが対面するように金型５１を金型５２の上に重ね、プレス加工を行う（一次成型）。一次成型後の外側半体のシリコーンゴムは、好ましくは、半加硫状態である。この一次成型は、常温又は常温よりも高い高温環境下で行うことができ、本実施形態では、１８５℃の高温環境下で金型に８．５トンの荷重をかけて５分間行われる。なお、図９は、一次成型中の金型５１，５２の部分断面図であり、図７及び図８において点線Ｃ１，Ｃ２で示す位置での金型５１，５２の断面が含まれる。一次成型中、磁石２１，２２の上面（外側半体の反対側の面）は金型５２に押し付けられるため、磁石２１，２２の上下方向（金型５１，５２の配置される方向）の位置が安定的に定まり、この状態で磁石２１，２２が外側半体に接着される。 And each groove | channel 51b of the metal mold | die 51 is filled with an outer half body, and the magnets 21 and 22 are set to each opening 52b and 52c of the metal mold | die 52, respectively. And as shown in FIG. 9, the metal mold | die 51 is piled up on the metal mold | die 52 so that the surfaces 51a and 52a may face each other, and a press work is performed (primary molding). The outer half silicone rubber after the primary molding is preferably in a semi-vulcanized state. This primary molding can be performed under normal temperature or a high temperature environment higher than normal temperature. In this embodiment, the mold is applied under a high temperature environment of 185 ° C. with a load of 8.5 tons for 5 minutes. FIG. 9 is a partial cross-sectional view of the molds 51 and 52 during the primary molding, and includes a cross section of the molds 51 and 52 at the positions indicated by the dotted lines C1 and C2 in FIGS. During the primary molding, the upper surfaces of the magnets 21 and 22 (the surfaces on the opposite side of the outer half) are pressed against the mold 52, so the positions of the magnets 21 and 22 in the vertical direction (the direction in which the molds 51 and 52 are disposed). The magnets 21 and 22 are bonded to the outer half in this state.
図１０は、一次成型により製造される一次成型品１５の部分断面図である。一次成型品１５は、外側半体上に長手方向に沿って上面に複数の磁石２１，２２が露出するように配列されたものとなる。また、図９に示すとおり、金型５２の磁石２１用の開口５２ｂは、磁石２２用の開口５２ｃよりも深いため、一次成型品１５では、外側半体の下面から磁石２１の上面までの距離ｄ１は、外側半体の下面から磁石２２の上面までの距離ｄ２よりも長い。言い換えると、一次成型品１５では、外側半体の上面において、磁石２１が外側半体の下面からｄ１だけ上方に突出し、磁石２２が外側半体の下面からｄ１よりも短いｄ２だけ上方に突出している。 FIG. 10 is a partial cross-sectional view of the primary molded product 15 manufactured by primary molding. The primary molded product 15 is arranged on the outer half along the longitudinal direction so that the plurality of magnets 21 and 22 are exposed on the upper surface. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the opening 52 b for the magnet 21 of the mold 52 is deeper than the opening 52 c for the magnet 22, and therefore in the primary molded product 15, the distance from the lower surface of the outer half body to the upper surface of the magnet 21. d1 is longer than the distance d2 from the lower surface of the outer half to the upper surface of the magnet 22. In other words, in the primary molded product 15, on the upper surface of the outer half, the magnet 21 protrudes upward by d 1 from the lower surface of the outer half, and the magnet 22 protrudes upward by d 2 shorter than d 1 from the lower surface of the outer half. Yes.
以上の一次成型が終了すると、次に二次成型が行われる。二次成型に先立ち、上述のシリコーンゴムのシートから、概ね長尺体１０ａの半体の形状を有する長尺状の部材が切り出される。なお、長尺体１０ａの半体とは、長尺体１０ａを、長手方向に沿って延びる中心軸Ａ１を含む面で仮想的に分断した一方の部分である。また、この半体は、長尺体１０ａのうち、磁気治療具１をループ状に巻いたときに上述した湾曲癖によって内側にくる部分に相当する。この意味で、以下、ここでカットされる長尺状の部材を、内側半体と呼ぶ。 When the above primary molding is completed, secondary molding is performed next. Prior to the secondary molding, a long member having approximately the shape of a half of the long body 10a is cut out from the above-mentioned silicone rubber sheet. In addition, the half body of the long body 10a is one part which divided | segmented the long body 10a virtually on the surface containing central axis A1 extended along a longitudinal direction. Further, this half corresponds to a portion of the long body 10a that comes inward by the above-described curved scissors when the magnetic therapy device 1 is wound in a loop shape. In this sense, the long member cut here is hereinafter referred to as an inner half.
二次成型では、図１１及び図１２に示す一対の金型６１，６２が使用される。金型６１は、一方の面６１ａに外側半体の形状の溝６１ｂが多数本形成された板状の部材である。なお、溝６１ｂは、一次成型品１５をセットするための開口である。また、溝６１ｂの両端には、連結部１２，１３の形状の開口６１ｃ，６１ｄが連続している。金型６２は、一方の面６２ａに、金型６１の溝６１ｂ及び開口６１ｃ，６１ｄと同様の形状の溝６２ｂ及び開口６２ｃ，６２ｄが形成された板状の部材である。溝６２ｂ及び開口６２ｃ，６２ｄは、金型６１，６２の面６１ａ，６２ａを対面させたときに、それぞれ溝６１ｂ及び開口６１ｃ，６１ｄに対面する位置に配置されている。 In the secondary molding, a pair of molds 61 and 62 shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 are used. The mold 61 is a plate-like member in which a large number of outer half-shaped grooves 61b are formed on one surface 61a. The groove 61b is an opening for setting the primary molded product 15. Further, openings 61c and 61d in the shape of the connecting portions 12 and 13 are continuous with both ends of the groove 61b. The mold 62 is a plate-like member in which a groove 62b and openings 62c and 62d having the same shape as the groove 61b and the openings 61c and 61d of the mold 61 are formed on one surface 62a. The groove 62b and the openings 62c and 62d are disposed at positions facing the groove 61b and the openings 61c and 61d, respectively, when the surfaces 61a and 62a of the molds 61 and 62 are opposed to each other.
そして、金型６１の各溝６１ｂに一次成型品１５を配置するとともに、金型６１の各開口６１ｃ，６１ｄには、当該開口６１ｃ，６１ｄの形状にカットされたシリコーンゴムの材料を充填する。開口６１ｃ，６１ｄに充填されるシリコーンゴムの材料も、上述したシリコーンゴムのシートから切り出される。このとき、開口６１ｃ，６１ｄ内のシリコーンゴムの材料の上には、連結具３０，４０を挿入するための開口Ｓ１を形成するべく、開口Ｓ１の形状に対応する金属製の部材を配置する。また、一次成型品１５に含まれる磁石２１，２２は、溝６１ｂの外側を向くように配置される。一方、金型６２の各溝６２ｂ及び開口６２ｃ，６２ｄには、内側半体が充填される。 Then, the primary molded product 15 is arranged in each groove 61b of the mold 61, and each opening 61c, 61d of the mold 61 is filled with a silicone rubber material cut into the shape of the opening 61c, 61d. The silicone rubber material filled in the openings 61c and 61d is also cut out from the above-described silicone rubber sheet. At this time, a metal member corresponding to the shape of the opening S1 is disposed on the silicone rubber material in the openings 61c and 61d in order to form the opening S1 for inserting the couplers 30 and 40. Further, the magnets 21 and 22 included in the primary molded product 15 are arranged so as to face the outside of the groove 61b. On the other hand, each groove 62b and the openings 62c and 62d of the mold 62 are filled with the inner half.
そして、図１３に示すように、面６１ａ，６２ａどうしが対面するように、金型６２を金型６１の上に重ね、プレス加工を行う（二次成型）。この二次成型は、常温又は常温よりも高い高温環境下で行うことができ、本実施形態では、１８５℃の高温環境下で金型に８．５トンの荷重をかけて、一次成型よりも長い７分間行われる。なお、図１３は、二次成型中の金型６１，６２の部分断面図であり、図１１及び図１２において点線Ｃ３，Ｃ４で示す位置での金型６１，６２の断面が含まれる。そして、二次成型により、外側半体及び内側半体の加硫が進行し、両者が接着される。なお、二次成型後、この二次成型品を例えば２００℃のオーブン内に４時間置くことで、さらに外側半体及び内側半体の加硫を進めることもできる。 And as shown in FIG. 13, the metal mold | die 62 is piled up on the metal mold | die 61 so that the surfaces 61a and 62a may face each other, and a press work is performed (secondary molding). This secondary molding can be performed at room temperature or in a high temperature environment higher than room temperature. In the present embodiment, a 8.5-ton load is applied to the mold under a high temperature environment of 185 ° C. It takes a long 7 minutes. FIG. 13 is a partial cross-sectional view of the dies 61 and 62 during the secondary molding, and includes a cross section of the dies 61 and 62 at positions indicated by dotted lines C3 and C4 in FIGS. Then, by the secondary molding, vulcanization of the outer half and the inner half proceeds, and both are bonded. After the secondary molding, the secondary molded product is placed in an oven at 200 ° C. for 4 hours, for example, so that the outer half body and the inner half body can be further vulcanized.
二次成型後、温度の低下を待って、金型６１，６２から二次成型品を取り出す。図１４は、二次成型により製造される二次成型品の部分断面図である。二次成型品は、長手方向に沿って内部に磁石２１，２２が埋め込まれたシリコーンゴムの長尺体１０ａ、すなわち、磁気治療具１ａである。また、上述した開口Ｓ１の形状に対応する金属製の部材を取り外し、開口Ｓ１を開く。 After the secondary molding, the secondary molded product is taken out from the molds 61 and 62 after waiting for the temperature to drop. FIG. 14 is a partial cross-sectional view of a secondary molded product manufactured by secondary molding. The secondary molded product is an elongated body 10a of silicone rubber having magnets 21 and 22 embedded therein along the longitudinal direction, that is, the magnetic therapy device 1a. Further, the metal member corresponding to the shape of the opening S1 described above is removed, and the opening S1 is opened.
なお、二次成型を行う時点では、一次成型品１５に含まれる外側半体は既に一度プレス成型が行われているため、硬化している。従って、二次成型中に、磁石２１，２２が外側半体に対して動きにくく、磁気治療具１ａ内での磁石２１，２２の上下方向の位置が安定する。また、本実施形態では、一次成型を経て磁石２１，２２が外側半体にしっかりと接着されていることもあり、二次成型中の磁石２１，２２の移動が著しく抑制される。その結果、製品ごとの磁気治療具１ａ内での磁石２１，２２の位置にバラつきが生じにくく、ひいては、磁気治療具１ａ表面での磁力が安定する。 At the time of performing the secondary molding, the outer half body included in the primary molded product 15 is already hardened because the press molding has already been performed once. Therefore, during the secondary molding, the magnets 21 and 22 are difficult to move with respect to the outer half, and the vertical positions of the magnets 21 and 22 in the magnetic therapy device 1a are stabilized. In the present embodiment, the magnets 21 and 22 are firmly bonded to the outer half through the primary molding, and the movement of the magnets 21 and 22 during the secondary molding is remarkably suppressed. As a result, the positions of the magnets 21 and 22 in the magnetic treatment device 1a for each product are unlikely to vary, and as a result, the magnetic force on the surface of the magnetic treatment device 1a is stabilized.
また、二次成型時において、一次成型を経て既に収縮が進んでいる外側半体は、二次成型で初めて成型される内側半体に比べ、収縮率が小さい。その結果、二次成型においては、長尺体１０ａとなるシリコーンゴムの材料のうち、内側半体が外側半体よりも大きく収縮するため、磁気治療具１ａは内側半体側に向かって湾曲することになる。その結果、磁気治療具１ａに内側半体側に自然と湾曲する湾曲癖が生じ、磁気治療具１を身体に容易に巻き付けることが可能になる。 Further, at the time of secondary molding, the outer half that has already undergone shrinkage through the primary molding has a smaller shrinkage rate than the inner half that is molded for the first time in the secondary molding. As a result, in the secondary molding, among the silicone rubber material that becomes the long body 10a, the inner half contracts more than the outer half, so that the magnetic therapy device 1a bends toward the inner half. become. As a result, a curl that naturally curves toward the inner half of the magnetic treatment device 1a is generated, and the magnetic treatment device 1 can be easily wrapped around the body.
また、図１４に示すように、二次成型品は、磁石２１を覆うシリコーンゴムの材料の厚みが、外側部分の厚みよりも内側部分の厚みの方が薄くなるように形成される。そのため、磁気治療具１の装着時には、上述した磁気治療具１ａの湾曲癖により自然と内側部分がループの内側を向くこととなり、ひいては磁石２１が自然とループの内側に偏って配置され、血行促進等の磁力の効果が効果的に発揮される。 As shown in FIG. 14, the secondary molded product is formed such that the thickness of the silicone rubber material covering the magnet 21 is smaller in the inner portion than in the outer portion. For this reason, when the magnetic treatment device 1 is mounted, the curved portion of the magnetic treatment device 1a described above naturally causes the inner portion to face the inside of the loop, and as a result, the magnet 21 is naturally biased to the inside of the loop, thereby promoting blood circulation The effect of magnetic force such as is effectively exhibited.
また、上記一次及び二次成型とは別に、連結具３０，４０及びトップパイプ４４をそれぞれ別の金型を用いて成型する。そして、上述した態様によりこれらのパーツ１２，１３，４４と２本の磁気治療具１ａとを連結することで、磁気治療具１が製造される。 In addition to the primary and secondary molding, the connectors 30 and 40 and the top pipe 44 are molded using different molds. And the magnetic therapy tool 1 is manufactured by connecting these parts 12, 13, 44 and the two magnetic therapy tools 1a by the aspect mentioned above.
