When the above relationship is established, the ball is not extremely flattened, easily rolls without the bag, and contacts the human body in a state close to point contact, so that there is little risk of low temperature burns.

(4) It is preferable that at least a portion of the bag that contacts the outer skin is formed of carbonized cotton.
The part in contact with the outer body is also a part in contact with the human body, and when this part is formed of carbonized cotton, far infrared rays are emitted from this part toward the human body, and it is heated to the deep part of the human body Become.

(5) It is desirable that germanium is printed on a side surface of the outer skin body that contacts the human body.
Germanium has the property of emitting negative electrons when heated to more than 32 °. The countless negative electrons emitted from germanium penetrate the user's skin, reach the capillaries, and cause electrons in the blood. As a result, the blood circulation and metabolism are positively affected.

(6) It is desirable that an odd number of the balls is enclosed in the bag.
If it is an even number, the blood vessel is located between the two balls, and the probability that the ball is located on the blood vessel is low, but if it is an odd number, the probability that the ball is located on the blood vessel is high. .

(7) It is desirable that three balls are enclosed in the bag body and arranged in a plane.
If three balls are encapsulated and arranged in a plane, the probability that the ball is located on the blood vessel is increased despite the small number of balls.

(8) The ball is preferably a bisecting stone.
If the ball is a bisecting stone, the diameter is between 10 mm and 15 mm, so the size and weight are easy to carry.

  In the present invention, the entire body can be formed in a small size, and the ball is enclosed so as to be movable in the bag, so that the ball moves and thereby fixedly contacts a specific part of the human body. Because there is no risk of low temperature burns.

It is an external appearance perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention. It is a top view of one embodiment of the present invention. It is a top view of the pebble of one embodiment of the present invention. It is a top view which shows the state of the pebble on the blood vessel in the comparative example with embodiment of this invention. It is a top view which shows the state of the pebble on the blood vessel of one embodiment of this invention.

  FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a local heating device according to the present embodiment, and a planar heater 2 is fixed to the upper surface of a support 1 having heat insulation properties such as foamed urethane foam. As shown in the drawing, the planar heater 2 has a heating wire 3 arranged in a plane and sealed on a silicon rubber sheet having a thickness of about 1.5 mm.

The connection end of the heating wire 3 is connected to a lead wire 4 connected to the outside. Further, a thermostat 5 is attached to a portion where the heating wire 3 is not disposed, and the supply of electric power to the heating wire 3 is controlled by the thermostat 5.
The power consumption of the heater is suitably about 2.5W.

A pouch 7 is fixed on the planar heater 2, and a natural pebble 6 formed of black slate called “mihama stone” as a ball is attached to the pouch 7. Three pieces are enclosed as shown in FIGS. 4 and 7 without any particular processing.
In FIG. 1, three are arranged in a straight line for easy understanding, but in actuality, they are arranged in an annular shape as shown in FIG.

  If the number of encapsulated pebbles 6 is an even number such as four, for example, the pebbles 6 are not positioned on the blood vessels 9 as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. Although there is a possibility that it will not be possible, if the number of enclosed pebbles 6 is an odd number, for example, three, the probability that the pebbles 6 are located on the blood vessel 9 and can be sufficiently heated as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. Becomes higher.

A bag body 7 enclosing the stacked support body 1, planar heater 2, and pebbles 6 is surrounded by an outer skin body 8. The human body directly or indirectly contacts the upper surface of the outer skin 8, and the outer body 8 has a size of about 5 cm in length and width and a thickness of about 1 cm.
The pebbles 6 are enclosed in a space so as to be easily moved inside the bag body 7.

As shown in FIG. 5, each of the pebbles 6 has a minimum width dimension of X / Y = 0.1-2. It is in the range of 5.
The closer the value of X / Y is to 1, the closer it is to a true sphere like a ball of a bearing and the easier it is to roll, and the smaller the value is, the flatter or needle-like it becomes harder to roll.

When the pebbles 6 move, the parts that come into contact with the human body move accordingly, and the human body is not fixedly contacted, so the risk of low-temperature burns is reduced.
In addition, the closer to the true sphere, the more likely the point of contact with the human body is to be in point contact, and if it is flat, it is likely to be surface contact.
If the contact portion with the human body is point contact, the risk of low temperature burns is reduced in this case as well.

  A portion (upper surface) of the bag body 7 that is in contact with the outer skin body 8 is formed of carbonized cotton. As this carbonized cotton, carbonized denim fabric is suitable. The portion of the bag 7 that contacts the outer skin 8 is also a portion that contacts the human body. When this portion is formed of carbonized cotton, far infrared rays are emitted from this portion toward the human body, It will be warmed to the deep part.

Further, it is desirable that germanium is printed on the side surface of the outer skin 8 that contacts the human body.
Germanium has the property of emitting negative electrons when heated to more than 32 °. The countless negative electrons emitted from germanium penetrate the user's skin, reach the capillaries, and cause electrons in the blood. As a result, the blood circulation and metabolism are positively affected.
