Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention, when standing up on a protrusion fixed to a springboard of a health device, the weight of the body acts on the protrusion,
It concerns a health device by stimulating the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Humans use their soles as a springboard to support their body (weight) with both feet. As the self-weight load accumulates, the soles of the feet accumulate tiredly and become painful. The reaction point (acupuncture point) that feels tired and pain that appeared on the sole of the foot,
It is well known that the circulation of blood flowing through the sole of the foot is normalized by repeating pushing, rubbing, and tapping.

[0003] Modern people, when they have accumulated stiffness and fatigue, take folk medicine drinks or take palliatives on an ad hoc basis.
It often surpasses the situation. On the other hand, there are also people who perform acupuncture and moxibustion treatment, and they try to cure the fatigue, stiffness, and pain that occur in the acupuncture points. However, if moxibustion is applied to the soles of the feet frequently, blisters and burns are inevitable, and when standing up, the weight may stimulate the inflamed area and cause pain during walking.

[0004] Treatments developed for the purpose of repairing disease points on the soles of the feet include simple treatments such as green bamboo traverse, medical treatments such as mustard compresses and Chinese herbal medicine compresses, mechanical and electrical treatments. There are many things, such as using a sole stimulator or a thermal treatment method.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The sole of the foot is located at the bottom of the body farthest from the heart, and blood is apt to cause congestion.
In order to promote blood circulation by moxibustion, it is necessary to smooth the blood flow only in the most unsuitable places by walking, stepping, and stepping on green bamboo. The green bamboo pedal and the artificial green bamboo treatment device with protrusions are small and lightweight and easy to carry, so they are convenient to use anywhere, but at the same time there are holes (spots) that are scattered throughout the sole of the foot. And it lacks the ability to stimulate exactly.

The weight of a walking human is supported by both feet and knees, and particularly, the knee joint serves as a cushion for carrying weight, bending and stretching. As the walking distance increases, the meridians on the back side of the knee joint (solar bladder of the foot and oligomyalgia of the foot) overexpand and contract, and fatigue accumulates in the meridian. If you are extremely tired, you may get a lump or a swelling from your thighs to your knees. In relieving this distress, stepping on the green bamboo pedal and artificial green bamboo therapeutic equipment to stimulate the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet and to alleviate the fatigue that occurred on the route, but cumulative fatigue caused the strain to open. (= Curved) It is difficult to care for the knee joint.

In Oriental medicine, four joints of both elbows and both knees are used.
(Shikan). In the acupuncture points of the hands and feet at the tip of Shiki,
When a needle is stabbed or moxibustion is applied, the stimulus concentrates on the central and internal organs. Acupuncture points that are so important are concentrated in Shimonoseki. When you step on a green bamboo tread, etc., the stimulation given to the acupuncture points on the soles at the tip of Shiki is said to release the itchiness and swelling on the back side of the knee joint. Exercise is a painful treatment.

[0008] When an illness occurs, the medical institution receives medical treatment, but even if the illness recovers, it is difficult to say that the illness has healed if the patient's own natural healing power does not work. Health appliances such as green bamboo treads
Since it is an assisting device that draws out the natural healing power, the idea is to "fix the body" rather than "cure the disease". When stepping on the curved surface of these health devices, the sense of equilibrium stalls and tends to lose balance, leading to an unstable state, and "correcting the posture" in the narrow sense of "fixing the body". It goes away from that feeling.

[0009]

[Means for solving the problem] It is said that the current state of health appears clearly on the foot, and changes in diseases related to internal organs also appear on the sole of the foot. Therefore, by correcting the acupuncture points on the sole of the foot, physical and mental health is improved. Will be kept. To solve this problem, based on the idea of alleviating disease symptoms and promoting health, as a result of repeated research and development, we have completed a sole acupuncture point stimulation health device that is extremely effective as a device to stimulate the sole of the foot. Let

That is, it is high forward and low backward approximately 15
At the position of the acupuncture points on the sole of the foot for the step that is inclined at ~ 20 degrees
Use each hole in the standard foot shape as a reference point for each acupuncture point
Form a plurality of protrusions in the central acupuncture point distribution area ,
The key to the shape of the foot is that the size of the
Use each hole as a reference point for acupuncture points and
It was a health device for stimulating the acupuncture points on the sole of the foot, which was formed by forming at least one protrusion .

[0011] Here, it is inclined forwardly high and backwardly low.
A foot acupuncture point stimulating health device is formed by forming at least one projection for each acupuncture point in the foot shape with different sizes at the position of the acupuncture points on the sole against the abutment point .

In addition, a handle which is almost upright is provided in front of the step, and a foot is placed on the step to stand upright so that the handle can be held by hand.

[0013]

[Function] Since the platform is inclined to the front higher and lower to the rear, the back of the knee can be stretched without pain when standing upright on the platform and the foot is relieved. In any of the above configurations, the projection on the upper surface of the step will match the position of the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet, so that even if the size of the foot changes within a certain range, the required holes can be efficiently stimulated. Helps heal parts. A handle that stands almost upright in front of the step
Helps secure the stability of the stepping motion.

[0014]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a plan view of a health device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partially omitted view taken along the line AA of FIG. The step board 1 has a handle plate 5 and a handle support portion 5 having two insertion holes 4 for the handle pipe 3. The handle pipe 3 may be a single pipe, but it is convenient for storage if a short pipe is connected to the joint pipe 6 as shown in FIG.

The footboard 2 has a sole shape 7, which, as shown separately in FIG. 3, corresponds to the 15 important important holes among the acupuncture points for the standard sole shape 7. The shape of the protrusion is set and arranged so as to give the most effective stimulus to the acupuncture point reference point 8 and to each acupuncture point reference point 8 in a range according to the existence distribution of acupuncture points. 15 points of acupuncture points 8 are shown in the inside of the sole 7 of FIG. 3, and the shape of the protrusion on the outer periphery of the sole 7 is shown in a plan view and a sectional view.

It is said that "aging starts from the feet" from old days, and it is said in modern medicine that the cerebrum is connected to the senility blur as the feet change. A sole view of the soles is shown in FIG. 5, and 15 holes, which are required holes, are selected and marked with a circle as the acupuncture point reference point 8. The acupuncture points have their existing positions distributed in various shapes centering on these essential holes. For example, there are granular, indurated or tender things like foot and heart (name of acupuncture point), and elliptic and hypersensitivity zones such as pericardial compartment (name of acupuncture point) exist widely. Some do. Also, the shapes and sizes of the soles are varied and there is no same shape and size, and assuming the deviation of the acupuncture points, circles of the acupuncture point reference points 8 are surrounded by solid lines to form the acupuncture point distribution area 9. . In the present invention, one to a plurality of protrusions are formed in the acupuncture point distribution region 9.

These projections in the foot acupuncture point stimulation health device of the present invention are round projections 10, elliptical projections 11 and raindrop-shaped projections as irregular projections of various shapes with respect to the standard contour of the sole of the foot. Among the 12 and the lens-shaped projection 13, the same shape or a combination of different shapes and different shapes are formed into a circle or arranged in series or in parallel. For example, in the same shape, five of the round projections 10 of the sole shape 7 of FIG. 3 are made radial, four of the elliptical projections 11 are connected in series, or the raindrop-shaped projection 12 and the round projection 10 of different shapes are formed. Are combined to cover the acupuncture point reference point 8. The height of the protrusion is about 10 mm, but only in the arch area, the height is 10 mm to 14 mm.

As described above, the conventional projection is not necessarily the most suitable as a stimulus applied to the acupuncture points, but the projections of the sole acupuncture point stimulation health device of the present invention gradually increase with respect to the acupuncture point "foot core". The shape that enhances the sensitivity of stimulation is selected, and the acupuncture point "pericardial region" has a shape that acts like hard and soft. The sole is a round protrusion for general use.
10 and elliptical projections 11, the specially shaped irregular projection is a special shape adopted only by the sole acupuncture point stimulation health device of the present invention.

Shapes of protrusions other than the figure proposed in the sole view of FIG. 3 are shown in FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (f). In FIG. 4, (a) is a hexagonal protrusion 14, (b) is an octagonal protrusion 15, and (c) is a semi-circular protrusion.
16, (d) is a semi-circumferential end protruding projection 17, (e) is a donut half-cut projection 18, and (f) is a cross-shaped projection 19.

The human sole is flattened so that it is suitable for walking on a flat ground, but since the sole size varies widely,
The positions of acupuncture points are different from each other.
For example, even if only one round protrusion 10 having a diameter of 10 mm is arranged at the position of the acupuncture point reference point 8, the desired effect is not expected because the acupuncture point on the sole of the foot does not always come to the position of the protrusion. Therefore, if it is granular like acupuncture points "foot core", the outer diameter is 6 mm.
If a large number of round protrusions 10 are arranged to form an aggregate and a wide range exists, such as the acupuncture point "pericardial region", the elongated shape is an elliptical shape with a width of 4 mm, and a shape close to a circle has a width of 5 mm. A plurality of them were arranged in series or in parallel so that the acupuncture points hit the protrusions.

Next, the legs of a person whose knees or ankles are distorted (i.e., curved) tend to get tired. Stretching the distorted joint causes pain in the muscles. Here, a standard foot shape 7 of the left and right soles is formed on the footboard 2 of the footstep 1 of the proposed foot sole acupuncture point health device, and the footboard 2 has a low inclination angle from the front to the rear of about 15 degrees. It is inclined to some extent. Then, select the one that fits your foot from the sole shape that has a protrusion on this tread and place it. It fits within the foot frame of the sole view.

When standing up on the footboard 2 of the sole acupuncture point stimulating health device, it is difficult to keep the posture in which the back muscles are stretched, and the posture to cope with the inclination is naturally exerted, and the effect of stretching and unwinding is It tends to be lost. In response to this phenomenon, two insertion holes 4 for the handle pipe are provided in front of the platform 1, and the handle pipe 3 is inserted into these holes so that the palm can be grasped to stabilize the body position and to stand upright. I try to maintain my posture.

The conventional Aotake tread is a foot tread developed for the purpose of removing the pain of the arch, and the sole acupuncture point stimulation health device of the present invention is a device which acts on the acupuncture points of the entire sole including the arch. is there. Therefore, the difference between the former and the latter appears as a range difference, while the former is a stepping operation, while the latter is a load operation utilizing weight, and the reaction due to body pressure is also significantly different. . Table 1 shows a comparison of the characteristics of both.

[0024] The word illuminating the feet and looking closely is referred to as "under the feet" and expresses the importance of the soles of the feet. In the sole acupuncture point stimulating health device of the present invention, the aorial view of the sole view of FIG. 3 and the conventional sole view of FIG. 5 are the same, but in FIG. 3 of the present invention, the essential hole is represented by the acupuncture point reference point 8. On the other hand, in the conventional sole view of FIG. 5, the circle mark is surrounded by a solid line to indicate that the acupuncture point reference point 8 is within the solid line. Further, if the acupuncture points corresponding to the numbers in the circles in the sole view of FIG. 5 are stimulated, the internal organs associated with the acupuncture points are stimulated. Table 2 shows the correlation between the numerical number and each part of the acupuncture points. For example, the number 9 in the sole view (FIG. 5) is the pancreas in the lower column.

[0025]

[Table 1]

[0026]

[Table 2]

A foot acupuncture point stimulating health device having a projection shown in FIG. 3 is one in which stimulation is spread to the acupuncture points of the sole of the foot, and the acupuncture point (circle mark) has a foot sole shape. Is FIG. The table in which the various projections of the sole shape of FIG. 3 are arranged on these numbers is Table 3 of the projection pattern table. The total number of protrusions on this protrusion pattern table is 40, and because of the rational combination of protrusions, it will be adapted to the acupuncture points of any sole of the foot regardless of the length or width of the foot. .

[0028]

[Table 3]

The symptoms that the knees hurt when weight is applied to both feet and that it becomes difficult to sit upright when the knees are bent are a phenomenon that frequently occurs in fat women after middle age. For knee pain, the soles of the knees are stretched while stimulating the spring and spring as the acupuncture points, but the sole acupuncture point stimulating health device of the present invention stimulates the acupuncture points. While it is a treatment device that also stretches the back of the knee. The reason why the back side of the knee can be stretched with this treatment device is that since the inclination angle of the tread plate 2 is approximately 15 degrees, the posture is unstable unless standing upright with the back of the knee extended. Table 4 is an angle setting table based on the actual value data with the tilt angle set to about 15 degrees.

[0030]

[Table 4]

When standing up on the footboard of the foot acupuncture point stimulating health device of the present invention, the posture collapse becomes conspicuous as the inclination angle increases. If the angle of the tread is more than 20 degrees, it means "it slips down, and if you extend the back of the knee, you may fall." If the tilt angle is 15 degrees or less,
The posture becomes stable as the angle of inclination becomes smaller, but as the angle decreases, it becomes conscious to extend the back of the knee. Therefore, if a handle pipe insertion hole 4 is provided in front of the footboard 1 and the two handle pipes 3 standing upright in this hole are grasped, an upright posture can be maintained with the back of the knee extended. Table 5 shows the process until the distance between the tread 2 and the handle pipe is set.
Presented as. Also, if you stand up on a tread with an inclination angle of 15 degrees, you will be bent upright by 15 degrees rather than standing on a flat surface. Since the posture tends to collapse when the body is warped, the center of gravity shifts by 15 degrees in the inclined direction. As a result, humans stand upright with their knees extended.

[0033]

[Effects of the Invention] When the sole of the foot is laid down and the weight is supported by both feet, fatigue and pain are accumulated on the sole of the foot under its own weight. By stimulating the reaction points of fatigue and pain to the entire sole of the foot with the plantar acupuncture point stimulating health device of the present invention, the effect of enhancing blood circulation is further manifested. That is, the foot acupuncture point stimulation health device of the present invention comprises a round protrusion, an elliptical protrusion, and an irregular protrusion,
Since it is a mechanism that collects or combines multiple of these protrusions centering on the acupuncture point reference point and arranges them in series or parallel to act on the acupuncture points of the entire sole of the foot, all reaction points of 70 extra holes are set. In order to lead to normal, just spend a little leisure time in daily life and correct the sole of the foot with a sole acupuncture point stimulating health device, the anxious symptoms and physical abnormalities will disappear, and care will be taken to the medical institution. You will be able to spend without any effort.

It may be difficult to meet in the morning when the person is awake and the fatigue of the day before may be carried over to the next day. Accumulation of fatigue may cause further fatigue, resulting in chronic tiredness and fatigue. Many people sue. When this happens, recovery is not desired with a little rest. However, if you ride the foot acupuncture point stimulating health device for only a short time of about 5 minutes before going to bed, as your fatigue recovers, your back muscles will pass even if you are in an unstable posture, and your knees will not be distorted. It will continue.

It is said that when it is distorted, it becomes difficult to walk and meanders. If the strained opening is stretched with acupressure or a stretcher, you will feel pain during the treatment, but the foot acupuncture point stimulation health device of the present invention is a pain because the inclination angle of the tread is suitable for stretching the strained opening. It is not accompanied by. Therefore, if you feel comfortable and try to extend the strain and recovery, your fatigue will recover and your health will improve.Therefore, your metabolism will be activated even during sleep, and you will have a pleasant morning with a refreshing awakening. , The effects that are the basis of vitality are obtained every day.
