Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a lower limb skeleton correction device that can be used to maintain beauty and health, and more particularly to a beauty processing device that corrects the O leg or X leg.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Various types of orthodontic devices or instruments have already been proposed. As the O-leg corrector, usually, a support is attached in parallel to the upper leg and the lower leg of the foot, and a so-called bandage attached to the support is used to press the O-leg portion inward.

For example, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Nos. 62-111015 and 62-111016, as an O-leg correction device, the force of pressing a foot bar with a foot is converted into a force to be applied to a knee so that the user's lateral direction is reduced. Discloses a device for applying a force to an O-leg. That is, a pair of left and right L-shaped pivot arms are pivotally supported on the rear side of the base frame so as to be pivotable left and right, and a pair of left and right clamping plates are pivotally supported at their front ends. At the same time, a heel rest is provided at each rear end, and a handle is erected in the middle of the base frame so that the handle can be rotated back and forth. , The latter is connected via a ring that opens and closes.

Since this orthodontic device applies the force of the foot to the foot bar and is used by stretching the foot, the force of the foot is effective so that the O-leg-like bend is corrected with respect to the O-leg portion of one's own foot. Can be added. However, it is used in a buckled state and requires a force other than the force to hold the foot in order to maintain the balance of the body. In addition, since the corrective force is based on the strain of the foot, it is used in a state of continuing a motion like a kind of force comparison. Since the person is in a buckled state for many minutes, such movement induces fatigue due to an unnatural posture of the body, and considerable patience is required for long-term use. Therefore, despite the fact that it is an effective method, many people have given up on using it continuously.

In order to solve this difficulty, the present applicant has previously proposed an O leg correction device that is easy to use (see Japanese Patent Application No. 6-14362). With this device, the O-leg is corrected by bending and stretching the legs in a recumbent state, so it is relatively easy to use, and because the user himself / herself exercises for the sake of health, it does not get tired after long-term use. However, in the case of this device, the member that presses the leg from the outside of the leg hits in a narrow range of the pressing portion, so that the pressing portion is damaged, and if used for a long time, inflammation or damage is caused. To avoid this, use a protective pad, cushion, etc. on the pressed part. Even with such a treatment, a considerable physical load is applied to the pressing portion.

[0006] In general, an irregular state of the skeleton of the lower limb such as the O leg or the X leg has unnatural distortion not only in the skeleton of the lower limb but also in the pelvis or ankle joint. For example, the publication by Kyoko Yanada: "Everybody from today to the leg beauty" Hyundai Shorinsha, published on May 21, 1991, shows the general skeletal distortion of the lower body seen in the O and X legs. A commentary is given and a guideline for eliminating the O-leg or the X-leg is given. This commentary points out that the O-legs cause distortion in the skeleton of other parts. Typical examples are “pelvic distortion”, “hip joint distortion”, “knee joint distortion”, “ankle distortion” and “tarsal bone protrusion”. These asymmetric skeletal states occur independently or, in some cases, in a complex state. Therefore, in order to correct the O-leg, it is not sufficient to apply mechanical force only to the bent part of the leg to forcibly correct it to a normal posture. In other words, it is necessary to apply mechanical force to the pelvis and ankles at the same time in the appropriate direction and with the appropriate strength to correct them.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, the subject of this invention is that it is easy to use, its structure and configuration are simple, and that it applies mechanical force to various parts of the body in the appropriate direction and with the appropriate strength to integrate the O-leg or X-leg. The object is to provide a lower limb skeleton correction device that can be corrected automatically.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above-mentioned problems are, according to the present invention, a length that allows close contact with the outer part of each foot from the buttocks to the toes, and the width is such that one side surface of the foot can be covered. an outer et Ja cushions 10 _a, 10 _b two can be flexibly curved hermetically sealed with an air inlet 24 which can introduce an internal compressed air, between the legs at two points at least the toes part and knee part The air-tightly sealed inner air cushions 30 _{1 and} 30 ₂ which can be attached to the body and have an air inlet for introducing compressed air, and the outer air cushions 10 _{a and} 10 _{a on} the outer sides of both feet _. 10 _b are brought into close contact with, while wearing the inner et yer cushion 30 _1, 30 ₂ between the legs, at least the hip, both at least 3 with pieces of tightening belts legs and Ashisaki can hold fixed their respective removably in 12 _{1 ,} 12 _2, 12 _3, 12 ₄ , compressed air generation source CP for supplying compressed air to the outer air cushions 10 _a, 10 _b and the inner air cushions 30 _1, 30 ₂ , and a conduit to the compressed air generation source CP.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings based on preferred embodiments.

FIG. 1 shows a part of a lower limb skeleton correction apparatus according to the present invention, that is, a structural member of a portion which directly contacts the body. 4 belt-shaped belts 12 laterally with respect to the seat 10_1,1 2_2,12_3,12_FourIs attached. The sheet 10 is used to wrap the lower limbs of a person to be cosmetically treated with a thin cloth made of natural or synthetic fiber or film. In this case, the buttocks are placed on the portion A of the seat 10, the knees of both feet are placed on the portion B, and the toes of both feet are placed on the portion C. After placing the body in place on the seat 10, apply an outer air cushion 20 (see FIG. 2) of a length that extends over the entire lower limb to the outside of both lower limbs, and further to the knee and toe between the legs. Each inner air cushion 30_1,Thirty₂(Refer to FIG. 4) and tighten belt 12_1,12_2,12 _3, 12_FourWrap each of the outer air cushions 20 at predetermined places on the body from the outer air cushions 20, and attach and fix the fixing belts 14 at both ends of the belt, for example, Velcro (trademark)._1,14_2,14_3,14_Four(The tightening belt 12 of FIG. 1_1,12_2,12_3,12_FourThe fixed part at the right end of is not shown because it is on the bottom surface). Fix in the state shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2 a, the outer air cushion 20 is a weld line 22 _1, 2 2 _2, 22 _3, 224 _4, which extends in a longitudinal direction (lower limb direction) of an airtight container made of a soft cloth or a plastic film _. It has an expansion space 26 _1, 26 _2, 26 _3, 26 ₄ (see FIG. 2b) partitioned by 22 ₅ . The length L ₁ of the outer air cushion 20 is selected to be the length from the toes to the buttocks. Further, the width of the outer air cushion 20 is selected so as to cover the foot portion by about half. At one end of the outer air cushion 20, there is an air introduction port 24 through which compressed air can be introduced into the expansion spaces 26 _1, 26 _2, 26 _3, 26 ₄ . These welding lines 22 _1, 22 _2, 22 _3, 22 _4, 22 ₅ make it easier to bend the outer air cushion 20 in the lateral direction, and at the same time, when the compressed air is introduced, the outer air cushion 20 only locally. It prevents it from expanding.

Further, the inner air cushions 30 _{1 and} 30 ₂ which are implicitly shown in FIG. 4 are also provided with air introduction ports for introducing compressed air, respectively, and if necessary, a welding line is provided so that the outer air cushions are provided. The expansion space may be partitioned like the cushion 20.

Inner air cushion 30₁Both feet 40_a,40_bPlace between each foot 40_a,40 _b Outside air cushion 20 outside_a,20_bPlace the tightening belt 12₂Figure 3 shows the tightened state. Tightening belt 12₂Is made of a material that does not expand or contract, so the outer air cushion 20_a,20_bWhen compressed air is introduced into the_a,40_bReceives inward force. Also, the inner air cushion 30 ₁ When compressed air is introduced into the foot_a,40_bReceives an outward force. Further, although not shown, the tightening belt 14_1,14_2,14_3,14_FourSince the outward movement by the tightening belt is not restricted in a place where it is not hit, for example, the outer air cushion 20_a,20_bEven if compressed air is introduced into, no inward force is applied, or very weak force is applied. Similarly, the inner air cushion 30₁When compressed air is introduced, the outward movement of the tightening belt is not restricted, and therefore the outward force is hardly applied to the foot. In this way, the tightening belt 14_1,14_2,14_3,14_FourThe most effective force is applied to the foot in the hit position. Therefore, in order to correct the X-leg, the tightening belt 14 is wrapped around the knees, buttocks, and toes, and the inner air cushion 30 is inserted between the knees.₁Send compressed air to. Also in the case of O-legs, the tightening belt 14 is wrapped around the knees, buttocks, and toes, and the outer air cushion 20_a,20_bIntroduce compressed air to the inner air cushion 30₁Does not apply too much pressure. In any case, it is necessary to place the tightening belt in an appropriate position according to the skeletal condition of each person.

Further, as described above, since the skeleton of the buttocks and toes of a person with O-legs or X-legs has irregularities, the skeleton tightening belt 12 ₁ and the toe tightening belt 12 are Apply pressure by ₄ .

The tightening belt 14 described above_1,14_2,14_3,14_FourThe seat 10 can be variously modified and modified. For example, tightening belt 14 on seat 10_1,14_2,14_3,14 _Four Fastening belt 14_1,14_2,14_3,14_FourIs attached to the seat 10 by a mechanism that can move and fix the seat 10 in the longitudinal direction of the seat 10, or the tightening belt 14 can be used without using the seat 10 at all._1,14_2,One four_3,14_FourCan be used individually, or the seat 10 can be formed into a bag shape that accommodates both feet.

In addition, the number of tightening belts used and the width of each tightening belt can be appropriately determined according to the usage state. The inner et Ja cushion 30 _1, 30 ₂ and the outer Eyakussho down 20 _a, 20 _b of the outer shape, but are not limited to a rectangle as shown in FIG. 4, for example, in the case of the outer et yer cushion 20 _a, 20 _b, it may be a trapezoidal tapering toward the toes, if the inner et yer cushion 30 _1, 30 _2, oval, or may be an array type. Of course, the number of welding lines may be different from the number shown.

FIG. 4 shows a compressed air control system according to the present invention. Here, the air sucked from the intake port SU is compressed by the compressor CP and stored in the buffer tank BT. Ba Tsu compressed air in the Far tank BT is allocated to the outer et Ja cushion guide tube Q _C and the inner et Ja cushion conduits Q ₀ through distributor DS. The outer air cushion conduit Q _C leads to the outer air cushions 20 _a and 20 _b for both feet via _a branch pipe Y ₁ and two conduits Q _{a and} Q _b , and the inner air cushion conduit Q ₀ forms _a branch pipe Y ₂ . It communicates with the two inner air cushions 30 _1, 30 ₂ via two conduits Q _1, Q ₂ . The distributor DS includes a plurality of electromagnetic on-off valves (not shown) and an exhaust port EX for exhausting the air of the outer air cushion conduit Q _C and the inner air cushion conduit Q ₀ to the outside via these electromagnetic on-off valves. The solenoid on-off valve of the distributor DS is controlled by supplying a control signal according to a program in the electronic control unit 50 to the distributor DS via the conductor L ₃ . The electronic control unit 50 monitors the pressure in the buffer tank BT with the pressure sensor SR, and controls the compressor CP via the conductor L ₁ so as to maintain this pressure at a predetermined value.

When using the lower limb straightening device of the present invention, the method of applying compressed air to the air cushions 20 _a , 20 _b, 30 _1, 30 ₂ is very important. As a parameter for defining the application method, the maximum air pressure, the length of the application period and the non-application period, the degree of rise and fall of air pressure, the outer et Ja cushion 20 _a, 20 _b and the inner Eyakusshi tio emission 30 _1, 30 ₂ Infinite combinations of simultaneous pressure application and alternating pressure application are possible. These combinations need to be selected according to the O-leg or the X-leg, or depending on their degree, and according to the individuality of the person who receives the beauty treatment. It is necessary that these typical measures are stored in a ROM memory (not shown) in the electronic control unit 50 and can be used freely and appropriately. To increase or decrease the pressure applied gradually at a constant rate, the electromagnetic flow control valve and the conduit Q _C, using a pressure sensor that can be measuring the pressure of Q _0, sends a sensor signal to the electronic control unit 50, which It is necessary to send a control signal from each electromagnetic on-off valve or electromagnetic flow rate adjustment valve to make an appropriate adjustment. Since such a pressure adjusting method is out of the scope of the present invention, further description will be omitted.
