【Example】

 Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the head acupressure device of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a usage state in the embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. Is.

The head acupressure device 100 includes an occipital acupressure part 10, left and right temporal acupressure parts 20 a and 20 b, and a crown acupressure part 30.

The occipital region acupressure part 10 is composed of a support having an inner surface having a shape facing the shape of the occipital region of the human head and the back of the neck that is continuous with the occipital region. The occipital region acupressure part 10 incorporates a cushioning member 12 described later.

The left and right temporal acupressure parts 20a and 20b are extended to the left and right side parts of the occipital neck acupressure part 10 and have a shape facing the shapes of the left and right temporal parts of the human head. It is composed of a support with side faces. In addition, groove-shaped bending lines L1 are formed between the left and right temporal acupressure parts 20a and 20b and the occipital acupressure part 10, and the temporal acupressure parts are formed at the bending lines L1. 20a and 20b can be folded toward the occipital neck acupressure part 10.

The crown acupressure part 30 is extended to the upper part of the occipital neck acupressure part 10 and has an inner surface having a shape facing the shape of the crown of the human head. A groove-shaped bending line L2 is formed between the crown acupressure part 30 and the occipital acupressure part 10. The parietal acupressure part 30 is directed toward the occipital neck part 10 at this bending line L2. It can be folded and folded. Therefore, the head acupressure device 100 can be compactly stored by folding the temporal acupressure parts 20a and 20b and the crown acupressure part 30.

The temporal acupressure portions 20a and 20b and the crown acupressure portion 30 are provided with coupling means or engagement means (not shown) for fixing each other. By engaging and fixing the temporal acupressure portions 20a, 20b and the crown acupressure portion 30 with each other by this engaging means, the aforesaid acupressure portions 20a, 20b, 30 are applied with force from the user's head. Even if the pressure is applied, the occipital neck acupressure part 10 is held in a standing state. By releasing the engaged state of the engaging means, the temporal acupressure portions 20a and 20b and the crown acupressure portion 30 can be bent with respect to the occipital neck portion 10 as described above.

On the inner surface of each of the acupressure parts 10, 20a, 20b, 30 is provided a projection group 40 including a large number of projections P. It is desirable that the upper end of the protrusion P be formed into a curved surface so as not to give pain when abutting and pressing the human body. For example, the shape of the protrusion P may be a cylindrical body having a convex curved surface at the upper end as shown in FIG. 4, or a spherical body may be formed at the upper end of the cylindrical body as shown in FIG. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, a deformed conical body having a spherical surface formed at the upper end may be formed. It is preferable that all or part of the protrusion P is made of an elastic member having appropriate elasticity in order to apply appropriate pressure stimulus to the human body. As the elastic member, for example, synthetic rubber or synthetic resin may be appropriately selected and used.

Next, a usage state of the head acupressure device 100 having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the head acupressure device 100 taken along a substantially central portion of the crown acupressure part 30 and the occipital acupressure part 10. As shown in the figure, when the human head (hereinafter referred to as the head) M is placed on the head acupressure device 100, the own weight of the head is applied to the crown acupressure part 30 and the occipital anterior acupressure part 10, and these Wraps the top of the head M, the back of the head, and the back of the neck, and applies a pressing stimulus to each part of the head by the projection P provided in each acupressure part.

The cushioning member 12 built in the occipital region acupressure part 10 is pressed and deformed by the weight of the head M according to the shape and size of the occipital region and the back of the neck. That is, the protrusion group 40 of the occipital neck acupressure part 10 is displaced to the position corresponding to the shape of the head M as a whole, so that the protrusion P abuts the occipital region and the neck without being separated from each other. The optimum pressure stimulus can always be applied to each part of the head M. The cushioning member 12 is preferably made of a material, such as sponge or cotton, which has elasticity and can be flexibly deformed in response to a pressing force. In addition, it is also possible to use a rubber bag in which air is injected as the cushioning member 12.

When the cushioning member 12 is detachably provided on the occipital region acupressure part 10, the cushioning members 12 having different sizes and elasticity can be selected and used. It is also possible to use it without the buffer member 12.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. As shown in the drawing, the inner side surfaces of the acupressure parts 20a, 20b facing each other incline outward from the lower side to the upper side. Therefore, the head M is sandwiched between the left and right acupressure parts 20a and 20b from the left and right, but since the acupressure parts 20a and 20b are opened upward, the feeling of oppression by the acupressure parts 20a and 20b is increased. Absent. Further, in the state shown in FIG. 3, when the head M is rolled in the direction of the arrow D1 or D2, the weight of the head causes one side of the head, and when the head M swings in the directions of D1 and D2, the left and right sides are moved. The pressure stimulus can be applied alternately to the head. In addition, by adjusting the speed and force at the time of rocking, the strength of the pressing stimulus can be arbitrarily adjusted according to the preference of the user.

Further, since the temporal region of the head M has a relatively high sensitivity to the pressure stimulus, in order to prevent the pressure stimulus applied to the temporal region from becoming excessive, the protrusions of the acupressure parts 20a and 20b of the temporal region are prevented. It is preferable to make the portion P smaller than the protrusions P of the occipital acupressure part 10 and the crown acupressure part 30.

Each of the protrusions P forming the protrusion group 40 of each of the acupressure parts 10, 20a, 20b, 30 comes into contact with the head portion M, and thus is contaminated or worn during use. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the cap C that covers the projection P is detachably provided, the cap C that is dirty or worn by use is replaced with a new one, or the removed cap C is washed. The parts that come into contact with the human body can be kept hygienic by exchanging them.

If a plurality of caps having different elasticity are prepared in advance as the cap C, the cap C having different elasticity is replaced with the protrusion P, so that the pressing stimulus applied to the head M 1 The strength can be easily adjusted. Therefore, the intensity of the pressing stimulus can be arbitrarily selected according to each part of the head.

The shape of the protrusion P is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and any shape can be used. The protrusions 40 having different shapes may be mixed in the protrusion group 40, or the protrusions P having different shapes may be provided in each of the acupressure parts 10, 20a, 20b, 30.

The number of protrusions P per unit area in the protrusion group 40 is arbitrary. Further, the arrangement of the projections P in the projection group 40 may be arranged so that the acupressure and the massage effect on the head M are maximized.

As described above, each of the acupressure parts 10, 20a, 20b, 30 has an inner side surface whose inner surface faces the occiput and back of the head, the left and right temporal parts, and the crown. are doing. Therefore, the individual protrusions P provided on the inner side face apply a pressing force substantially toward the center of the head, that is, substantially perpendicular to each part of the head. Therefore, the most effective pressure stimulus can be applied to the head. In addition, since each of the acupressure parts 10, 20a, 20b, 30 can uniformly apply a pressure stimulus to each part of the head, the user does not need to search for the acupressure points one by one, and the acupressure effect and massage can be easily performed. The effect can be obtained.

[0035]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the head acupressure device of the present invention, by placing the supine human head on the occipital acupressure part, the temporal acupressure part, and the crown acupressure part, only the weight of the head is reduced. Since a group of protrusions provided on the inner surface of each of the above-mentioned acupressure parts provides uniform pressure stimulation to each part of the head, it is possible to easily perform acupressure and massage on the entire head by one person. it can.

When at least one of the crown acupressure part and the temporal acupressure part is formed to be foldable with respect to the occipital acupressure part, the head acupressure device should be compactly folded and stored. It is also convenient to carry.

In the case where the occipital anterior acupressure part is provided with a cushioning member having elasticity and can be flexibly deformed in response to the pressing force of the head, the When the acupressure part of the occipital neck is deformed, the protrusions evenly contact the occipital region and the neck. Therefore, the optimum pressure stimulus can always be applied to the head.

If the inner side surfaces of the temporal acupressure part facing each other are inclined so as to spread outward from the lower side to the upper side, there is no feeling of pressure during use, and the head is moved to the left or right. By rolling it, the acupressure effect can be applied to the temporal region, and by changing the speed and force when the head oscillates left and right, the intensity of the pressing stimulus given to the temporal region can be adjusted arbitrarily. .

When the protrusion provided on the temporal acupressure part is smaller than the protrusions provided on the parietal acupressure part and the occipital neck acupressure part, pressure applied to the left and right temporal regions The stimulus intensity is slightly weaker and does not cause pain.

When the cap that covers the protrusion is detachably provided, it may come into contact with the human body by replacing the cap that is dirty due to use with a new one or by cleaning and replacing the removed cap. The part can be kept hygienic.

When a plurality of types of caps having different elasticity is provided, the strength of the pressing stimulus given to the human body can be easily adjusted by replacing the caps having different elasticity with the protrusions.
