Description

  The present invention relates to a magnetic therapeutic device used by being attached to the skin of a human body.

  Conventionally, for the purpose of magnetic therapeutic effects such as blood circulation promotion, for example, a magnetic therapeutic device in which a tablet-type magnet is attached to the skin of a human body with an adhesive sheet is generally used. However, since the tablet type magnet is usually about 3 mm to 5 mm in size, it is difficult to attach the tablet type magnet so as to hit the acupoint or the affected part of the human body.

  In order to solve such a problem, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a magnetic therapeutic device including a flexible magnetic sheet. The magnetic therapeutic device disclosed in Patent Document 1 can be used in a square size of several centimeters to several tens of centimeters, and therefore can be used by being attached to a relatively wide range of human skin. Therefore, the magnetic treatment apparatus of Patent Document 1 can be easily attached so as to hit the pressure point or the affected part of the human body where the magnetic treatment effect is required.

  Hereinafter, a magnetic treatment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are merely examples, and the magnetic therapeutic apparatus of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

  The magnetic therapeutic device of the present embodiment is used by being attached to the skin of the human body. The magnetic therapeutic device of the present embodiment is applied to the skin of the human body and used to apply a magnetic field to the body of the human body to promote blood circulation in these areas and their surroundings, and improve metabolism. Bring about a magnetic therapeutic effect. The method of attaching the magnetic therapeutic device to the skin is not particularly limited as long as the magnetic therapeutic device is in direct or indirect contact with the skin of the human body during the period in which the magnetic therapeutic effect is obtained. A method of directly adhering to the skin by the adhesive force of the container itself, a method of adhering directly or indirectly to the skin via a known adhesive means such as an adhesive sheet, or the like can be employed. Further, the position of the skin to which the magnetic therapeutic device is attached is not particularly limited as long as the magnetic therapeutic effect is exhibited, and it may be any position such as the shoulder, arm, neck, waist, leg, etc. of the human body. May be

  The magnetic therapeutic devices 1 and 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, include a plurality of magnetic sheets 2 and 4 each formed in a substantially polygonal sheet shape in plan view. There is. The magnetic sheets 2 and 4 generate a magnetic field, and apply the magnetic field to the inside of the human body when the magnetic therapeutic devices 1 and 3 are attached to the skin of the human body. The magnetic therapeutic devices 1 and 3 can be attached over a wide range of the skin of the human body by providing a plurality of magnetic sheets 2 and 4, and can apply a magnetic field over the wide range, and over a wide range. Can produce a magnetic therapeutic effect.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 adjacent to each other are adjacent to each other between the sides of the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 and continuous on substantially the same plane. It is arranged. Each of the plurality of magnetic sheets 2 and 4 is foldably connected to the adjacent magnetic sheets 2 and 4. Therefore, when the magnetic treatment devices 1 and 3 are attached to the skin of a site having a complex curved surface, such as shoulder, knee, elbow, etc., the adjacent magnetic sheets 2 and 4 freely bend relative to each other. It can be easily deformed and attached as a whole following the shape of the portion having a curved surface. In addition, the plurality of magnetic sheets 2 and 4 may be able to be rearranged in substantially the same plane. In that case, for example, each of the plurality of magnetic sheets 2 and 4 is removably connected to the adjacent magnetic sheets 2 and 4. The magnetic therapeutic devices 1 and 3 can arrange the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 in an arbitrary arrangement, and can easily change the magnetic field applied to the inside of the human body to a desired size or pattern.

  Each of the plurality of magnetic sheets 2 and 4 is preferably in the form of a substantially regular triangle or a substantially regular hexagonal sheet in plan view as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. The plurality of magnetic sheets 2 and 4 can be continuously arranged so as to completely fill a flat surface by forming each of the plurality of magnetic sheets 2 and 4 in a substantially regular triangular shape or a substantially regular hexagonal shape in plan view. Therefore, the magnetic treatment devices 1 and 3 can bring about the magnetic treatment effect all over the body of the human body. In addition, as compared with a substantially square or rectangular rectangular magnetic sheet capable of similarly filling the flat surface without gaps, if the magnetic sheet is substantially square or rectangular, the magnetic therapeutic device is The magnetic therapeutic device can be bent in three directions by making the magnetic sheet substantially in the shape of an equilateral triangle or in the shape of an almost regular hexagon, while it can be folded only in two directions orthogonal to each other. Therefore, the degree of freedom in the bending direction of the magnetic therapeutic devices 1 and 3 is further increased, and the flexibility of the magnetic therapeutic devices 1 and 3 is further enhanced.

  The plurality of magnetic sheets 2 and 4 may be foldably connected to each other, and may be disposed continuously on substantially the same plane, and the connection method with respect to each other is not particularly limited. For example, the plurality of magnetic sheets 2 and 4 can be attached to a known adhesive means such as an adhesive sheet so that the sides thereof are adjacent to each other, and can be arranged continuously on substantially the same plane. Further, for example, a plurality of magnetic sheets 2 and 4 are provided with a protrusion on one side of the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 connected to each other, and a hole to which the protrusion is fitted is provided on the other side. The projections and the holes can be connected to each other by fitting them so that they can be bent relative to each other, and they can be arranged continuously on substantially the same plane.

  Although the size of the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 is not particularly limited, the size of the magnetic therapeutic devices 1 and 3 can be deformed along the shape of the skin when the magnetic therapeutic device 1 is attached to the skin of a human body. It is preferable to be set to On the other hand, the size of the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 is preferably set to a size easy to manufacture and handle with the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 alone. For example, as for the size of the magnetic sheets 2 and 4, the maximum length in plan view is preferably 5 to 50 mm. By making the maximum length of the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 5 mm or more, manufacture and handling of the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 become easier. The maximum length of the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 is more preferably 10 mm or more, and further preferably 20 mm or more. In addition, by setting the maximum length of the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 to 50 mm or less, the magnetic therapeutic devices 1 and 3 can be more easily deformed corresponding to a curved portion with a smaller curvature radius. The maximum length of the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 is more preferably 40 mm or less, and still more preferably 30 mm or less. Further, the number of the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately set in accordance with the size of the part of the human body where the magnetic treatment effect is required.

  The magnetic sheets 2 and 4 only have to be able to generate a magnetic field so as to apply a magnetic field inside the human body, and the structure thereof is not particularly limited. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 4A, each of the plurality of magnetic sheets 2 and 4 has a ring shape in sheet-like base materials 21 and 41 and base materials 21 and 41. And magnetic portions 22 and 42 provided on the As used herein, “annular” is not limited to a circular shape, but may be a triangular shape as shown in FIG. 2 (a), a hexagonal shape as shown in FIG. 4 (a), etc. It is used in the meaning including what was formed hollow. The magnetic sheets 2 and 4 have the same amount of magnetic material as compared with the case where the magnetic portions 22 and 42 are provided in an annular shape so that the inner portion is not provided in an annular shape, the magnetic field is spread within a wider human body. It is possible to apply.

  The base materials 21 and 41 are members for supporting the magnetic parts 22 and 42. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 4A, the base materials 21 and 41 are generally formed in a sheet shape of a substantially regular triangle or a substantially regular hexagon in plan view as a whole. . And in the base materials 21 and 41, the magnetic parts 22 and 42 are provided in the shape of a substantially regular triangle or a substantially regular hexagon annularly along the outer periphery vicinity. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2 (b) and FIG. 2 (c), FIG. 4 (b) and FIG. 4 (c), the base materials 21 and 41 are layers containing air inside the magnetic portions 22 and 42. Spaces 21s and 41s which can form an (air layer) are provided. The base materials 21 and 41 can obtain high thermal insulation performance by forming a layer containing air having a low thermal conductivity in the spaces 21s and 41s. Therefore, when the temperature of the target site is increased by promoting blood circulation of the target site by the magnetic field generated by the magnetic portions 22 and 42 provided on the magnetic sheets 2 and 4, the magnetic sheet is compared to the case where the air layer is not formed. Cooling due to heat transfer through 2 and 4 is suppressed. And, by suppressing the cooling of the target site, the target site where circulation is promoted can maintain a proper heat retention state, and the magnetic therapeutic effect can be maintained.

  Spaces 21s and 41s can be formed inside with a layer containing air, and at least when the magnetic therapeutic devices 1 and 3 are used in close contact with the skin of the human body, convection between the inner air layer and the outer air The shape is not particularly limited as long as it is configured to be suppressed. In the present embodiment, the spaces 21s and 41s are provided with annular magnetic portions 22 and 42 as shown in FIGS. 2 (b) and 2 (c), 4 (b) and 4 (c). It is demarcated by crevices 21r and 41r provided inside a part (protrusions 21b and 41b), and skin (not shown) when magnetic sheets 2 and 4 are stuck to skin of a human body. In this embodiment, since the air layer is disposed to be in direct contact with the skin, the base material 21 is compared with the case where the skin and the air layer indirectly contact via the materials constituting the base materials 21 and 41. Since the material 41 does not intervene, the heat insulation performance of air can be utilized more efficiently. Therefore, the base materials 21 and 41 can obtain higher thermal insulation performance.

  The base materials 21 and 41 may have strength to support the magnetic portion 22 and the constituent material is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the base materials 21 and 41 be formed of a soft resin material. Since the base materials 21 and 41 are formed of a soft resin material, deformation is easy according to the shape of the target portion of the human body. The magnetic therapeutic devices 1 and 3 include a plurality of magnetic sheets 2 and 4 which are bendably connected to each other, and the base materials 21 and 41 of the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 are formed of a soft resin material. Thus, it is possible to be bent more flexibly and attached to the skin of the human body having a complicated shape. The soft resin material for forming the base materials 21 and 41 is not particularly limited as long as the base materials 21 and 41 have flexibility such that they can be deformed according to the shape of the target site. For example, known soft resin materials such as silicone rubber, soft polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, polyester and various elastomers can be used. Among them, silicone rubber is preferably adhesive because when the magnetic sheets 2 and 4 are in direct contact with the skin of the target site, good adhesion with the skin of the target site can be obtained. Used.

  The magnetic portions 22 and 42 are portions that generate a magnetic field in order to apply a magnetic field into the human body. In the present embodiment, the magnetic parts 22 and 42 are single-sided and multipolar-magnetized as shown in FIGS. 2 (c) and 4 (c). The magnetic parts 22 and 42 can be made to be higher in magnetic flux density on the surface in contact with the skin of the human body by being single-sided and multipolar-magnetized, compared to the case where single-sided and double-polarized magnetization is performed. A magnetic field can be efficiently applied to the body with less material. In addition, since the magnetic portions 22 and 42 are single-sided and multipolar-magnetized, the magnetic flux density on the surface on the opposite side can be reduced compared to the surface on the side in contact with the skin of the human body. The shielding material for suppressing the leakage of the magnetic lines of force from the surface opposite to the side in close contact with the skin can be omitted.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) to 2 (c) and FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (c), the magnetic portions 22 and 42 are located near the outer periphery of the base members 21 and 41. The projections 21p and 41p are provided along the plane and surround the recesses 21r and 41r described above. The magnetic parts 22 and 42 are provided so as to be exposed on the surface (the surface on the right side in FIGS. 2B and 4B) in the protrusions 21p and 41p of the base materials 21 and 41. The magnetic parts 22 and 42 are provided so as to be exposed on the surfaces of the protrusions 21 p and 41 p of the base materials 21 and 41, whereby when the magnetic therapeutic devices 1 and 3 are attached to the skin of the human body The magnetic field can be applied to a deeper position in the human body because it is placed close to the.

  The magnetic parts 22 and 42 are annularly provided in the base materials 21 and 41, and the material is not particularly limited as long as the magnetic field can be generated. As a material of the magnetic parts 22 and 42, permanent magnets, such as ferrite, neodymium, samarium cobalt, a gadolinium alloy, a lanthanum alloy, etc. are employable, for example. The magnetic parts 22 and 42 may be, for example, those in which magnetic powder is continuously arranged in a ring, or may be in the form of a sheet formed of magnetic paste obtained by kneading the magnetic powder. And may be sintered into a thin plate.
