Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a wearable massager that can be used daily in a home without straining to promote hair growth.

  Stress is said to be a stress society today, and it influences the hormonal balance of the human body, and also influences the circulation and lymph flow. Stress is recognized as a factor that inhibits hair growth as well as changes in hormone balance due to aging. Hair thinning and hair loss are bothersome problems for men and women, and development of medicines and hair growth stimulants that promote hair growth is progressing rapidly. However, pharmaceutical products have problems with side effects, and hair restorers are expected to have a combined effect of combining a hair-washing method to remove stains on the scalp, the efficacy of the shampoo used, and scalp massage to which the hair restorer penetrates. Depending on the method of use, there is a problem with the effect being inconsistent.

  Many massage devices for promoting hair growth and hair growth have been proposed and are commercially available. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-11040 is a brush structure capable of applying vibration and light stimulation to the scalp, and a technology capable of promoting hair growth and hair growth by using a flexible brush material so as to comb the hair. Is disclosed. Further, Japanese Patent No. 5496042 discloses a hand-type technology that can be energized and irradiated with light while massaging the scalp with the projections of the brush. Furthermore, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-22041 is a hand-type massager capable of providing vibrational stimulation of reciprocating motion not only to the scalp but also to the face and skin.

  It is known that promoting hair circulation and improving lymphatic flow enhances hair growth and hair growth effects. For example, head massage in specialty stores such as hair salons and beauty salons is a technology that sequentially massages a wide area including not only the head but also the ear and neck areas that promote lymph flow and blood circulation. By making careful use of techniques such as chewing, tapping, etc., and giving a careful massage for at least 30 minutes or more, the scalp and hair are kept healthy and hair growth is realized. Therefore, it can be said that it is possible to promote hair growth by a measure to increase the frequency of treatment in addition to the treatment area, treatment method, and treatment time such as head massage of a specialty store.

  A massaging device has been proposed that can be worn on the head and can be used for long-term massage. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-196006 is a fixed type mounting tool that can apply vibration stimulation with controlled frequency and amplitude to the entire scalp, and induces skin reflex by vibration stimulation to activate the scalp. Techniques for promoting hair are disclosed. In addition, JP-A-2016-537176 is a technology of a helmet type multifunctional massager capable of massaging not only the head but also the eye part. Furthermore, Japanese Patent No. 5886264 is a technique that can massage the head and temple simultaneously with the vibrating protrusion. These fixed massagers allow the user to expect a long time massage only by maintaining a relaxed posture.

  The conventional head massage device for the purpose of hair growth and hair growth is a hand type in which the scalp is stimulated with a brush or a projection while holding it by hand, or a helmet type technology in which a head is covered. However, hand-type is a method that requires you to perform operations like hair combing on your own, and it is a method that depends on the patience and effort of the user, and gives massage while using it for a long time, for example for 30 minutes or more There were problems with difficulties. The fixed type that covers the head that can be expected to massage for a long time, the stimulation site is centered on the scalp, there is a structural defect to massage a wide area including the ear circumference and neck circumference, and the head of a specialty store There is a problem that the treatment area is limited compared to massage. Furthermore, the fixed type has a problem that the structure becomes more complicated when trying to widen the massage area, and the operability of the user becomes more complicated.

  In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, this treatment method can cope with a wide treatment area ranging from head to neck such as head massage in a specialty store, and can massage sequentially any selected site, and the treatment time is The purpose is to provide a simple hair growth promotion massager that can be performed without difficulty for at least 30 minutes and can be used daily as a treatment frequency.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is not a conventional massaging device fixed to the head, but a mounting tool capable of abutting on any part of a wide area from the head to the neck, and at a selected part Like a head massage in a specialty store, by keenly examining a variable-shape, semi-fixed attachment tool that can be worn appropriately and massage the wide area from head to neck sequentially while moving the attachment site in a timely manner The present invention has been achieved with the finding that the treatment area, treatment method and treatment time can be reproduced daily at home.

A massager according to the present invention is a massager which is mounted in contact with any desired site from the head to the neck, and includes a main body portion made of an elastic material and a connecting portion, and the main body portion Has a shape-retaining material that can be plastically deformed, the connection portion is made of a composite material having flexibility and shape retention, and a pair of end portions of the connection portion is provided at the pair of end portions of the main body portion. And a control unit and a power supply that incorporates a vibration generating body at a desired portion of the main body portion and controls vibration at any desired portion of the main body portion and the connection portion. Have a department.
Further, a massager according to the present invention is a massager mounted in contact with any desired site from the head to the neck, comprising an annular main body made of an elastic material, and the main body is: A shape-retaining material that can be plastically deformed is provided inside, a vibration generator is contained in a desired portion of the main body portion, and a control portion and a power source portion are provided at the desired portion of the main body portion.

  According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. The massager of the present invention can be attached to any part from head to ear and neck, and can apply vibration stimulation to a selected part by the built-in vibration generator. Lymph nodes are localized around the neck and ears. For example, there are superficial cervical lymph nodes and deep cervical lymph nodes on the sides of the neck, and preauricular lymph nodes and retroauricular lymph nodes before and after the ears. By applying vibrational stimulation to these lymph nodes, the flow of lymph can be improved, and waste and fatigue substances in the body can be efficiently discharged to promote blood circulation. In addition, blood vessels pass in the vicinity of the lymph nodes, for example, the external carotid artery and the external jugular veins flow around the neck and ear, and applying vibrational stimulation around the lymph nodes means blood circulation at the same time. It can be improved. Furthermore, in the head, stimulation of three skin muscles (frontal muscle, occipital muscle and temporal muscle) can alleviate muscle fatigue and improve circulation by restoring the original muscle function. Furthermore, in the parietal region, it is possible to promote blood circulation by applying vibrational stimulation to the skin layer on the cap-like aponeurosis connecting frontal muscles and occipital muscles. In particular, in the parietal region, the skin is thin and muscle does not exist, and vibrational stimulation is easily transmitted to the bone surface, so the hair root existing on the cap-like aponeuron can be efficiently stimulated and the capillary connected to the dermal papilla It improves blood circulation and enables activation of hair matrix cells.

  The physical vibrational stimulation of the massager of the present invention can sequentially stimulate a wide region from the head to the neck to improve blood circulation, promote blood circulation in the scalp and promote hair growth. In addition, unlike the strong stimulus such as sucking and tapping on the scalp and the stimulus such as rubbing the scalp with the tip of the brush, the massager of the present invention has no risk of damaging the cuticle of the skin and hair. The massage device is made of an elastic material that is comfortable even when in contact with the skin or the hair, and enables long-term use, for example, a careful massage for over 30 minutes.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the fixture 14 having a through hole is disposed at the end of the main body 11 so as to close the hollow portion, and the end of the connecting portion 12 is a through hole of the fixture 14. The stopper mechanism can be embodied by making the end portion of the connection portion 12 located in the hollow portion of the main body portion 11 into a size that blocks the through hole of the fixing tool 14.

  Next, the usage method of the massage device of this invention is demonstrated.

  5-8 is a specific example at the time of mounting | wearing of the massage device 1 of this invention. The loop consisting of the main body portion 11 and the connecting portion 12 is plastically deformed and attached to a desired portion. For example, FIG. 5 is an example of wearing on the head. FIG. 6 is an example of wearing from the top of the head to the back of the ear, and FIG. 7 is an example of wearing from the front of the ear to the lower jaw. FIG. 8 shows a wearing example when worn on the neck. These are an example, and the massage device 1 of the present invention can be optionally attached to any part other than the description example.

  Next, the mounting method of the massage device 1 of the present invention will be described. The coupling 12 can be adjusted by sliding, adjusting the size of the loop first. Next, the body portion 11 and the connecting portion 12 can be easily deformed with bare hands, which plastically deforms the loop. Next, the power switch is turned on to select vibration strength and drive the vibration motor. It can be worn so as to be covered from the head by an operation of expanding the loop (however, a weak force that does not cause plastic deformation), and the body portion 11 adheres to the skin and the hair. The adhesion of the main body portion 11 can be finely adjusted by the connecting portion 12. For example, the contact of the connecting portion 12 is strongly adhered by an operation of squeezing the ring, and conversely, it is weakened by an operation of expanding. When moving the mounting site, adjust the shape of the loop again, and if necessary, insert the mounting / removing operation and mount on the next site. A series of these operations are repeated, and the massage is continued while changing the mounting site. The turning off of the vibration motor is not always necessary at the time of mounting and demounting, and while the vibration is continued, the shape of the loop can be changed and removed simultaneously.

  Next, a recommended example of massaging time of each part will be described. Adjust the time in consideration of the presence of muscle and its thickness. Specifically, since the neck is thick in muscle and a plurality of muscles are stacked, a longer massage is preferable. In particular, the neck is an important site for lymphatic and blood circulation promotion, for example, while continuing for at least 3 minutes, and while slightly wearing the attachment position, for example, massage at multiple places such as the lower neck, middle neck, and upper neck It is preferable to do this. Next, as is clear from FIGS. 6 and 7, the massage around the ear can massage the head and neck and simultaneously give vibrational stimulation around the ear. It is preferable to uniformly stimulate the lymph nodes while selecting equally in front of or behind the ear. Next, as for the massage of the head, the muscle is thin and it is preferable to have a slightly short massage. Furthermore, there is no muscle in the top of the head and the scalp is thin, and a shorter massage is preferable. For example, it is more effective to repeat the same part and massage while moving the mounting position with a guide of about 1 to 2 minutes. It is.

  Next, a recommended example of the order of massage sites will be described. Thin hair and hair loss start at the hairline and top of the forehead, and there are many patterns that gradually spread. As the hair growth pattern progresses from the opposite hair part to the hair removal part gradually, the massage does not stimulate from the top of the head but starts from the neck and around the ear, then the muscle part of the head Move to the end, and finally the stimulation to the top of the head is preferred. Starting from the neck, around the ears, the hair of the head, and finally the hair removal of the head, the hair-raising effect can be further enhanced.

  The massager of the present invention has a function of selecting the strength of vibration, and can maintain a comfortable massage according to the preference of the user. For example, in a region where the muscle is thick, the massage sensation can be felt more by strengthening the vibration stimulation. Conversely, sites with thin muscles or sites without muscles can be counteracted by weakening vibrational stimulation. Also, the power supply unit is a rechargeable battery type, and can be used outside the home, for example, on a business trip destination or a travel destination, and can be used daily.

  Specialized head massage stores use olive oil, aroma oil, etc. You can moisturize and slip your hair and expect a relaxing and blood circulation promoting effect. The massager of the present invention does not limit the use of such oils, and may or may not be used. The massager of the present invention does not have the action of combing the hair, and there is no hindrance without using oil or the like. Moreover, although the massage device of this invention is based on use by itself, it does not restrict | limit the use of a hair restorer. However, since the massager of the present invention promotes secretion of sebum and sweat by vibrational stimulation, it is recommended to use a hair growth agent to remove sebum stains after massage and to use hair growth agent after shampooing.

  The massage device of the present invention is created for those who have difficulty in visiting an external specialty store frequently, and the user can freely select the massage site and the massage application time, and the user's hair loss and hair loss By applying the massage in the reverse order of the pattern, it is possible to effectively promote the growth of hair. In order to promote hair growth, it is necessary to carry out a massage for at least about 30 minutes every day, and if the time allows, there is no hindrance to using twice as much as 60 minutes, and the massager of the present invention Can be used. Hair is known to grow most during night sleep. By properly using the massager of the present invention, hair growth can be realized after 3 to 4 months at the latest. During the massage, it is preferable to be in a position where you can relax as much as possible, you can sit on a chair or sofa, or lie on the floor, etc. You can also enjoy reading and watching TV while massaging. Use is also possible.

  The above-mentioned embodiment is an illustration, and the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the control unit 16 and the power supply unit 17 are provided in a substantially central position of the main body 11 as a protruding shape, but provided in a hollow portion of the main body 11 to provide a projection Alternatively, the control unit 16 and the power supply unit 17 may not be provided in the main body unit 11 but may be provided in the connecting unit 12. Furthermore, both ends of the main body portion 11 may be coupled to form a loop only with the main body portion 11, and the connecting portion 12 may not be provided. Furthermore, although the main body portion 11 and the connecting portion 12 have a curved surface shape, only the skin contact surface is provided with a curved surface, there is no need to be a curved surface over the entire circumferential direction, and there is no hindrance to plastic deformation of the loop. It is possible to change the shape as long as there is no problem.

  The present invention is effective for people suffering from hair thinning and hair loss, and is essential for hair growth and hair growth for people suffering from hair thinning and hair loss, which causes further stress in a stressful environment. There is no demand for necessities.
