Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a therapeutic device for alleviating and treating symptoms such as stiff shoulders and muscle pain using a semiconductor rectifier.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, when relieving symptoms such as stiff shoulders, muscular pain, and low back pain, an external medicine with an anti-inflammatory effect is used in combination with a hot compress or cold compress, or a magnetic treatment that applies magnetism to the affected area. Acupuncture and moxibustion treatments and acupressure treatments that apply acupuncture and moxibustion to other pots are being performed.

In particular, in magnetic therapy, a remarkable therapeutic effect such as promotion of blood circulation is recognized even with a steady magnetic field generated by a relatively weak magnet. Directly act by electromagnetic induction to contribute to blood circulation promotion, and the magnetic current acts directly on bioelectric currents that transmit information in the autonomic nervous system that controls the contraction and dilation of blood vessels, which promotes blood circulation and pain. It is explained that mitigation will take place.

[0004] Conversely, there is a view that such disturbance of the bioelectric current causes symptoms such as stiff shoulders. Geomagnetism is cut off by structures such as reinforced concrete, while electromagnetic waves generated by various electric appliances are thought to have a negative effect on living organisms.

[0005] Therefore, by applying a predetermined stimulus or rectifying action to the bioelectric current and by directly stimulating the blood flow in the capillaries beneath the skin, blood circulation is promoted and stiff shoulders and It is thought that symptoms such as muscle pain are alleviated.

[0006]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In view of the above-mentioned points of the prior art, the present invention is a simple therapeutic device that promotes blood circulation by stimulating and rectifying a bioelectric current and alleviates symptoms such as stiff shoulders and muscle pain. The purpose was to provide

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Each terminal of the semiconductor rectifier is formed of a metal wire made of a good conductor, and the terminals are not in contact with each other, but form a spiral shape in the same direction around the semiconductor rectifier in substantially the same virtual plane. Formed as follows.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 1 to 3 show a treatment tool 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a treatment tool 1 is formed by bending respective terminals 12 and 13 of a semiconductor rectifier 11 into a spiral shape in the same direction around the semiconductor rectifier 11 in the same virtual plane. .

The semiconductor rectifying element 11 uses a diode such as a silicon diode and may have a low allowable voltage in the forward and reverse directions, but preferably has a small forward resistance and can cope with a small current. For example, a glass-sealed or molded type small-signal lead-type silicon diode is used.

Each of the terminals 12 and 13 is made of a good conductor wire, and is preferably plated with a corrosion-resistant metal to prevent corrosion during long-term use. However, the metal used for plating causes metal allergy. None are preferred and these are selected according to the specifications. Then, the treatment tool 1 configured as described above is used by attaching it to an affected part of the body or a good conduction point generally called a “pot” by an attaching means such as an adhesive tape 14 as shown in FIG. I do.

[0011] For example, muscles that generate “stiffness” such as stiff shoulders (such as trapezius muscles) are concentrated in capillaries, and blood circulation is caused by keeping the same posture for a long time or by contraction of blood vessels due to stress. This is a state in which a vicious circle occurs in which inhibition causes “stiffness”, and if it persists, exhaustion of fatigue substances becomes difficult and painful, causing a charge in the blood (caused by electrolytes). This is considered to be a state in which the movement is insufficient and it is difficult to eliminate the bias of the potential.

Therefore, when the treatment tool 1 is applied to such an affected part, a bias in the forward direction from the terminal 12 (anode) to the terminal 13 (cathode) side via the semiconductor rectifier 11 due to the bias of the body surface potential. It is thought that a current is generated to eliminate the potential difference and to promote the movement of electric charge in the peripheral region of the application site or inside the body, that is, to promote blood flow. In addition, the feeling of wearing the therapeutic device 1 applied to the body surface, particularly the stimulation of the body surface due to the protrusion of the semiconductor rectifying element 11, stimulates nerves near the affected part to promote blood circulation.

The above-described combined action promotes blood circulation in the affected area and alleviates symptoms such as stiff shoulders, lower back pain, and muscular pain. At this time, the spiral arrangement of the terminals 12 and 13 causes It has the advantage of being able to cope with potential differences within the body surface no matter which direction it is applied to the affected area.

In other words, as shown in FIG. 2, when a potential difference in the direction xx ′ in the figure (whichever is positive but x is positive) occurs with respect to the treatment tool 1, the semiconductor rectifying device With the terminal 11 as a center, there is always a portion where the terminal 12 is located on the high potential side and the terminal 13 is located on the low potential side. , A forward current from the terminal 12 to the terminal 13 via the semiconductor rectifying element 11 is always obtained. Therefore, the user of the treatment tool 1 does not need to consider the direction in which the treatment tool 1 is applied to the affected part. Thus, the spiral terminals 12 and 13 can be said to have an antenna-like effect of catching the potential difference on the body surface.

In the illustrated example, the case where each of the terminals 12 and 13 circulates about one and a half times around the semiconductor rectifying element 11 (a size of about 1 cm square as a whole) is shown. If it is above, it will not be specifically limited. In addition to the case where the terminals 12 and 13 are on the same plane as in the illustrated example, the terminals 12 and 13 are formed so as to form a flat conical surface with the central semiconductor rectifying element 11 as a vertex and slightly projecting toward the body surface side. , 13 may be arranged.

The basic use state of the treatment tool 1 of the present invention is that the treatment tool 1 is adhered with the adhesive tape 14 as described above, but can be used repeatedly if the adhesive tape 14 is replaced. Alternatively, a supporter, a wristband, or the like may be used so as to make close contact with the body. Further, since the effect of the treatment can be obtained in a relatively short time, it may be used by being attached to the tip of a pressing member such as an acupressure device.

[0017]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the therapeutic device of the present invention is configured such that each terminal of the semiconductor rectifier is formed of a metal wire made of a good conductor, and the terminals are not substantially in contact with each other but are substantially in the same virtual plane. The spiral is formed in the same direction with the rectifier element as the center.This eliminates the use of any power source or magnetic force source, adjusts the disturbance of the bioelectric potential of the affected area of the body, and directly stimulates the affected area. It promotes blood circulation and can help alleviate symptoms such as stiff shoulders and muscle pain. In addition, the spiral arrangement of the terminals has an advantage that a substantially constant effect can be obtained without considering the application direction to the affected part.
