Description

  The present invention relates to a support band for supporting an electric warmer, and more particularly, to a support band having a function of assisting an operation of performing treatment by placing the electric warmer on the back.

Warmth has long been used as a treatment to relieve stiffness and pain. In recent years, electric warmers have been developed so that such treatment can be easily performed without using fire. For example, in the following Patent Document 1, a ceramic material having a property of emitting far infrared rays can be fitted into a part of a heat generating part incorporating an electric heater to effectively stimulate the body's acupoints. An electric water heater is disclosed, and a device related to the electric water heater is registered as Utility Model Registration No. 2515428. Moreover, the following patent document 2 discloses an electric water heater having a function of fixing a patch.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-77752 Utility Model Registration No. 3047172

  The electric water heater as disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Documents 1 and 2 includes a heat generating part with a built-in electric heater and a gripping part connected to the heat generating part. While holding the part, the fever is applied to the affected part, and a hot-spring treatment is performed. However, when the affected part is on the back side, the work of the patient himself applying the heat generating part to the affected part on the back side is a very labor-intensive work. In particular, when acupuncture treatment is performed on the acupuncture points in the vicinity of the scapula, it is very difficult for the patient himself to apply the heat generation part to the affected part while holding the grasping part of the electric warmer.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a support band for an electric warmer that can reduce the work burden of the patient when the patient himself performs treatment using the electric warmer on the affected part of the back.

It is constituted by.

(2) According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the support band for an electric heater according to the first aspect described above,
The wrapping part is composed of a front body that makes up the surface that comes into contact with the body and a back body that faces this front body, and an elastic cushion member is embedded inside the back body. is there.

(3) According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a support band for an electric heater according to the first or second aspect described above,
The width of the second band-shaped member is set to be substantially equal to the width of the bag portion, and the width of the first band-shaped member is set to be narrower than the width of the second band-shaped member.

  By using the support band for an electric heater according to the present invention, the patient can apply the heat generating part housed in the wrapping bag part to a desired position on the back while holding both belt-shaped members with both hands. However, when treating the affected area of the back using an electric warmer, the work burden can be greatly reduced.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on the illustrated embodiment. The present invention is not related to the electric heater itself, but relates to its support band. For convenience, the structure of a general electric heater will be briefly described.

  FIG. 1 is a side view of an electric water heater disclosed in the aforementioned Patent Document 1, and FIG. 2 is a bottom view thereof. As shown in the figure, the main components of the electric heater are a heat generating part 10 incorporating an electric heater, a gripping part 20 connected to the heat generating part 10, and a power cord 30 derived from the gripping part 20. The heat generating unit 10 includes a support 11, a heat generating body 12, and a far-infrared radiator 13, and has a structure in which the heat generating body 12 generates heat by a built-in electric heater. The far-infrared radiator 13 is made of a ceramic material such as barium aluminate titanate and has a property of emitting far-infrared rays when heated.

  On the other hand, the grip 20 is constituted by a grip 21 that is connected to the support 11. An extension portion of the power cord 30 passes through the grip 21 and supplies power to the electric heater built in the heat generating unit 10. The power cord 30 extends from the end of the grip 21 to the right in the figure and is connected to a commercial power source. The user holds the grip grip 21 with one hand, and applies the acupuncture treatment by placing the bottom surface of the heating element 12 on the affected area with a cloth. In particular, when the far-infrared radiator 13 is applied to the affected area, intensive treatment can be performed on the acupuncture points by far-infrared radiation.

  When the patient himself uses this electric warmer for treatment, as described above, it becomes difficult to apply the heating element 12 to the affected part on the back side. The support according to the present invention is for solving such problems.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an electric heater support band according to an embodiment of the present invention. This support band is an auxiliary tool for supporting an electric water heater as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, and as shown in the figure, the bag portion 100, the drawstring 200, the first band member 300, the second band The belt-shaped member 400 is used. In the case of this embodiment, the material of each of these components is a cloth, and as a whole is a sewn product using the fabric. However, in implementing the present invention, these components are not necessarily included. There is no need to make it out of cloth. However, for practical use, it is preferable to use a material that is as light as possible, flexible, and can be manufactured at low cost, and cloth is the optimum material.

  The wrapping portion 100 has a function of wrapping and housing the heat generating portion 10 of the electric water heater, and has a structure in which a front body 110 and a back body 120 are sewn around as shown in the figure. The front body 110 and the back body 120 are structural elements made of cloth of substantially the same size and shape, and are placed in a bag-like manner for wrapping and housing the heat generating part 10 by arranging both of them facing each other and stitching the periphery. A space is constructed. However, an entrance / exit 130 is formed on the left side of the figure, and the heating part 10 of the electric water heater can be taken in / out through the entrance / exit 130.

  The squeezing string 200 is a cloth-made string whose center is sewn to the front body 110 (the sewn part does not appear in the figure), and serves as a squeezing means for narrowing the entrance / exit 130 of the bag part 100. . However, the narrowing means only needs to fulfill the function of narrowing the entrance / exit 130 so that the heat generating part 10 accommodated in the bag part 100 is not easily pulled out, and therefore it is not always necessary to configure the narrowing means with a cloth string. For example, the narrowing means may be constituted by rubber stretched around the entrance / exit 130, or the narrowing means may be constituted by a hook-and-loop fastener (so-called magic tape (registered trademark)), a magnet, or the like.

  The first belt-like member 300 is a component made of a flexible material (a cloth in this embodiment) having one end connected to the entrance / exit 130 side of the bag part 100, and the second belt-like member 400 has one end Is a component made of a flexible material (in this embodiment, a cloth) connected to the side opposite to the entrance / exit 130 of the bag part 100. In the case of this embodiment, the width (dimension in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction) of the second strip member 400 is set to be approximately equal to the width of the bag part 100 (dimension in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction). . Therefore, the second belt-like member 400 can be formed of the same cloth as that of the back body 120 of the bag part 100, and has a simple structure in which the cloth continues from the back body 120 to the second belt-like member 400. be able to. On the other hand, the width (the dimension in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction) of the first strip member 300 is set to be narrower than the width of the second strip member 400. Note that a loop portion 410 made of a cloth band is attached to the tip of the second band-shaped member 400.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the electric heater shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is attached to the support band. In order to attach the electric warmer to the support band, the portion of the heat generating portion 10 may be inserted into the bag portion 100 from the entrance 130 and then the entrance 130 may be narrowed by tying the string 200. The grip portion 20 is exposed to the outside from the entrance / exit 130 along the first strip member 300. Since the entrance / exit 130 is narrowed down by the squeezing string 200, the heat generating part 10 is held inside the bag part 100.

  When the patient treats the affected part of the back with warmth, as shown in FIG. 4, after the electric warmer is put on the support band, the wrapping part 100 containing the heat generating part 10 is on the back side. The first belt-shaped member 300 may be grasped with one hand and the second belt-shaped member 400 may be grasped with the other hand. At this time, if the first belt-like member 300 and the power cord 30 are bundled together with one hand, the power cord 30 can be prevented from getting in the way. Further, with the other hand, if the loop portion 410 attached to the tip of the second belt-like member 400 is grasped, it can be firmly held. By changing the positions of both hands, it is possible to arbitrarily adjust the position where the heat generating unit 10 hits the back, and it is possible to perform a hot-spring treatment on a desired affected part by the patient's own hand.

  As described above, since the width of the second belt-shaped member 400 is set to be substantially equal to the width of the bag part 100, the second belt-shaped member 400 forms a relatively wide belt. Even when used while being held in place, the second belt-like member 400 can be prevented from being twisted. On the other hand, the width of the first belt-like member 300 is set to be narrower than the width of the second belt-like member 400 and forms a relatively narrow belt-like shape. This is because the convenience of grasping and holding the power cable 30 together with the first belt-shaped member 300 is taken into consideration. By configuring the first band-shaped member 300 with a narrow band-shaped body, an operation of bundling together with the power cable 30 becomes easy.

  In general, any orientation may be used when the electric warmer is mounted in the wrapping portion 100. However, in the case of the embodiment shown here, the structure is based on the assumption that the front body 110 side is brought into contact with the body, and inside the back body 120 there is a cushion member (such as cotton) having elasticity. Embedded. Therefore, in the case of this embodiment, the bottom surface side of the heat generating portion 10 (the surface on which the heat generating body 12 and the far infrared radiator 13 are present) is mounted toward the front body 110 side. The heating element 12 and the far-infrared radiator 13 are applied to the affected area through the cloth of the front body 110. By embedding a cushion member on the back body 120 side, even when the upper surface side of the electric warmer comes into contact with the body, furniture, etc., an effect of reducing unnecessary impact can be obtained.

  In addition, when warming treatment is performed using this support band, the front body 110 that comes into contact with the body will gradually become dirty, but in that case, after unscrewing the string 200 and removing the electric warming device, What is necessary is just to wash the whole support belt. Alternatively, an opening window may be formed on the front body 110 side, and an application cloth may be attached to the heating element 12 and the far-infrared radiator 13 side (see Patent Document 2). In this case, it is possible to remove and apply only the patch. Since the wrapping part 100 should just have the function to wrap and accommodate the heat generating part 10, even if it forms an opening window as needed, there is no problem.
