Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the present invention pertains] The present invention presses against the lateral process S of the spine (vertebra) C of the body, and cures various conditions such as pain and stiffness of the neck, or low back pain and lumbar spondylolisthesis. The present invention relates to a pressing pillow that can be used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to cure various symptoms such as pain and stiffness of the neck muscles, low back pain, lumbar spondylolisthesis, or spinal canal stenosis, a therapy using a thumb of a hand or a pressing device. There are therapies that use pressing. Each of these therapies presses and loosens the local muscles and blood vessels, etc. by intermittently applying pressure to the local area, thereby alleviating the contraction of the muscles and blood vessels and curing various symptoms. is there.

[0003] However, there is a problem that acupressure using a thumb requires a great deal of labor and that the thumb is easily damaged. In addition, there is a problem that this shiatsu is difficult to perform for oneself. On the other hand, when the pressing tool is used, the labor is light and the thumb is not hurt. In addition, by placing the pressing tool and placing a local part of one's body on the pressing tool, there is also a convenience that the user can easily perform the pressing operation.

[0004] However, this conventional pressing device is not necessarily shaped to take into account the pressing of the spine C portion having a special shape as shown in FIG. 8, and therefore is not necessarily suitable for pressing the spine C portion. Absent. In addition, since this pressing tool is usually made of a hard material, there is a risk that an excessive pressing force is applied to a local part of the body, and the local part is further damaged. In particular, this risk is high when one places one's own area on the pressing tool.

[0005]

[Problem to be solved by the invention] The problem to be solved is that when acupressure is performed using the conventional thumb, a great deal of labor is required, the thumb is easily damaged, and it is difficult for the user to do it himself. In the case of using a pressing tool, the structure is not suitable for pressing the spine C, and it is hard, so that it tends to damage the local area.

[0006]

A description will be given with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8. According to the present invention, a pair of pressing portions 3 each having a short cylindrical shape and an outer peripheral surface forming a smooth convex curved surface in an axial direction are formed by flattening the inside of the pressing portion 3 through a central portion 2 having a smaller diameter than the pressing portion 3. The wall portions 14 are connected to each other so as to face each other, and a bar-shaped grip portion 6 having a diameter smaller than that of the pressing portion 3 is protruded outward from the outer flat wall portion 13 of the pressing portion 3. A spherical end ball portion 7 is provided, and the upper half of each pressing portion 3 is a silicon rubber portion 10 made of silicone rubber. It corresponds to the interval between a pair of lateral projections S to be sandwiched.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this pressing pillow, a pair of pressing portions 3 whose entire outer peripheral surface of a short cylindrical shape forms a smooth convex curved surface in the axial direction is formed by pressing a pair of pressing portions 3 through a central portion 2 having a smaller diameter than the pressing portion 3. The three inner flat wall portions 14 are connected to each other so as to face each other. The outer peripheral surface of the central portion 2 forms a concave curved surface, and forms a gentle continuous curved surface with the convex curved surface of the outer peripheral surface of the pressing portion 3. From the outer flat wall portion 13 of each pressing portion 3, a rod-shaped grip portion 6 having a diameter smaller than that of the pressing portion 3 is protruded outward in the horizontal direction, and a spherical end ball portion 7 is provided at the end of the grip portion 6. Provided.

[0008] The upper half of each pressing portion 3 is a silicon rubber portion 10 made of silicon rubber which is a soft material. The main body 1, which is the other part of the pressing pillow except for the silicone rubber part 10, is integrally formed of a hard synthetic resin. The silicon rubber portion 10 and the hard portion 8, which is the lower half of the pressing portion 3, protrude from the central portion 2 of the flat portion 5 of the hard portion 8, and have a flat bottom surface 12 of the silicon rubber portion 10. A hole 11 is formed in the central portion 2 of the base member, and the two are fixed to each other via an adhesive. A plurality of small projections 9 made of a hard synthetic resin are also provided on the outer peripheral surface of the hard portion 8.

The interval between the pair of pressing portions 3 is made to correspond to the interval between the pair of lateral processes S sandwiching the spinal spinous process T of the adult. In the present embodiment, the distance between the centers of the pressing portions 3 is set to 55 mm. The pressing portion 3 has a diameter of about 65 mm, and the entire length of the pressing pillow is about 300 mm.

The operation will be described. This pressure pillow can be safely used not only for others but also for oneself. When used for another person, the grasping portion 6 is grasped by hand and the central portion 2 is positioned along the spine C. As a result, the distance between the pressing portions 3 is set in accordance with the distance between the pair of lateral processes S sandwiching the spinal spinous process T of the human body, and thus the pressing portions 3 are necessarily located at the lateral process S portion. The lateral projection S is an optimal part for applying a pressing force to heal. In this state, when the pressing portion 3 is intermittently pressed via the grip bar, the muscles and blood vessels in that portion return to normal, and the local part is healed.

In this case, when the silicone rubber portion 10 is pressed, the silicone rubber is soft, so that the pressing force on the local part is moderately moderated, and the local part can be healed without giving any pain. When the hard portion 8 is pressed, a strong pressing force acts, and the small projection 9 projecting from the hard portion 8 also acts.

When the pressing pillow is used by itself on, for example, a cervical vertebra (neck portion), the pressing pillow is placed on a soft material such as a futon, and then the cervical vertebra is aligned with the center of the pressing pillow. And lie on his back. As a result, the pressing portion 3 is pressed against the lateral protrusion S, and the local portion is pressed and healed. In this case, when the silicon rubber portion 10 is pressed, even if a suddenly larger pressing force than necessary is applied, the pressing force is reduced by the flexibility and elasticity of the silicon rubber, and there is a danger of local damage. Less is. The same can be used for the thoracic, lumbar, sacral and tail vertebrae.

[0013] The pressing pillow is not limited to the use of the spine C, but can be used for other parts of the body such as the head and thighs. Further, the end ball portion 7 can be used by being pressed locally, similarly to a normal pressing tool.

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] The pressing pillow of the present invention is a pressing tool having a shape corresponding to the spine C portion, and does not directly use the thumb to perform acupressure, so that it does not require much labor and can also hurt the thumb. Absent. It is also easy to use on your own body.

In addition, the pressing pillow has a structure in which the pair of pressing portions 3 can be easily applied to the portion of the lateral protrusion S, which is a portion where the pressing effect is high, so that the local pill can be effectively healed. be able to.

Further, since the upper half of the pressing portion 3 is formed of the silicone rubber portion 10, it is possible to heal without damaging the local area by pressing this portion.
