BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an acupressure mat for performing acupressure treatment on various parts of a person's body without the help of others.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional acupressure tools are known in which a large number of rubber projections are provided on a base plate placed on the floor, and feet are placed on the projections so that the soles of the feet are pressed by their own weight. .

[0003]

The above-mentioned conventional acupressure tool cannot be applied to various parts of the body because it can be used only for the purpose of applying acupressure to the sole of the foot at best.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a flexible and bendable rubber-like elastic sheet having a size such that a person's back can be placed on the surface of the sheet at predetermined vertical and horizontal intervals. Place a number of protrusions with rounded edges on the floor, place this sheet on the floor, mattress, futon, etc. It proposes a shiatsu mat in which you can apply the shiatsu effect by applying your own weight and pressing it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the acupressure mat of the present invention, which is flexible enough to be placed on a person's back (for example, about 50 cm in length and about 20 to 40 cm in width). The diameter and height of the rubber-like elastic sheet 1 made of flexible rubber or soft synthetic resin, with a rounded tip at a certain interval in the vertical and horizontal directions (for example, about 1 cm), and a height of about 20 mm to 50 mm A large number of projections 2 made of a hemispherical or conical elastic body are provided so as to project upward.

In the acupressure mat, the protrusion 2 and the sheet 1 are integrally molded with a mold.

Since the acupressure points of a person have individual differences and differ depending on the body part to which the acupressure is applied, the diameter of the protrusion 2 and the installation interval (center interval between the adjacent protrusions 2 and 2) are used as the acupressure mat of the present invention. Prepare several kinds (several sheets) that have changed, and select the optimum one as appropriate and use it properly.

If the protrusions 2 having different diameters and installation intervals are classified and installed on one sheet according to type, it is possible to select a portion having a necessary projection interval and perform proper acupressure. .

In using this acupressure mat, the sheet 1 is laid on the floor, mattress, futon or the like, and a body part to be acupressure such as a back or a waist is put on the sheet for a short time (desirably within 3 minutes), The weight of one's weight is applied to the protrusion 2 and pressed against the protrusion 2 to obtain the acupressure effect.

In this case, since the sheet 1 is flexible and bendable, when the sheet 1 is laid on an elastically deformable laying surface such as a futon, the sheet 1 bends following the unevenness or curved surface of the body such as the back or waist. As a result, the projections 2 reliably and evenly contact the body part, and a reliable acupressure effect is obtained.

Similarly, since the seat 1 is flexible and bendable, a plate or block-like base, such as a square or a circle having a smaller size than the seat 1, is placed on the floor or the like, and shiatsu is applied to cover it. By laying a mat, it is possible to partially apply acupressure only by the protrusions 2 located on the base.

[0012] For parts such as arms and legs where it is difficult to apply self-weight, apply this acupressure mat to the part that receives acupressure, and press it from the back side of the sheet 1 by yourself or press it against another person. It is also possible to use it by giving acupressure.

When applying pressure to the calf of the leg and the back side of the thigh, fold the seat in two with the protrusion 2 side facing up, sandwich the sheet on the back of the leg, and fold the leg to sit and apply pressure. You can

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, this sheet is laid on the floor, a mattress, a futon, etc., and the body parts to be acupressure such as the back and waist are placed on the sheet, and the user's weight is bulged out. By applying pressure, you can apply Shiatsu to various parts of your body, such as your back or waist, without the aid of others.

Since the sheet is flexible and bendable, when the sheet is laid on an elastically deformable laying surface such as a futon, the sheet bends in accordance with the unevenness or curved surface of the body such as the back or waist, and the protrusion is Positioned on the base by placing the base, which is smaller than the seat, on the floor, etc. and laying a shiatsu mat to cover it. It is possible to use acupressure part only with the protrusions, or fold the shiatsu mat in half and use it by sandwiching it on the body part such as the back of the leg.
