Abstract

[PROBLEMS] To be used only for a specific part and difficult to use for a person such as an elderly person who does not have power and does not move as expected.
A string-shaped acupressure device in which a large number of spherical bodies are connected in series with a short and thin connecting string made of rubber or soft plastic having soft elasticity at a predetermined interval is appropriately applied to a body part that performs finger pressure. Wrap it lightly enough to give an appropriate tightening force at intervals, and press the spherical body against the part of the body where you want to apply finger pressure.

Description

    The present invention relates to a string-shaped acupressure device for wrapping around various parts of a body to perform acupressure.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a shiatsu tool (Patent Document 1) is known in which a large number of finger pressure protrusions are provided on a base material such as a plate and the protrusions are pressed against a body part that performs finger pressure.

  In addition, a shiatsu device (Patent Document 2) in which a rubber belt provided with a large number of protrusions on the surface is wound around the foot, a chain-shaped ring is formed by passing a thread through a large number of perforated balls of different sizes. Acupressure tool (Patent Document 3) that is applied to the wrist or the like and applies acupressure by weight, and further, both ends of one string are connected to both ends of a rod-shaped body provided with a protrusion at the center. Attach spheres with holes in several places so that they can rotate freely, hold both ends of the rod-shaped body with your hand and place the string on the area where you want to apply acupressure, such as the back. An acupressure tool (Patent Document 4) is known which performs acupressure by pressure contact.

  Acupressure devices such as Patent Document 1 can apply acupressure only to a relatively wide and flat part of the body such as the back, and put weight on the acupressure device or press the body part with artificial force. Have to do.

  In the acupressure tool such as Patent Document 2, since the belt is wound around the body part and fastened with the hook-and-loop fasteners at both ends, it can be used only for a specific body part such as a limb and cannot be used other than the specific part. It is necessary to attach a hook-and-loop fastener that can be attached to both ends of the belt.

  Since the acupressure tool as in Patent Document 3 uses a chain-like ring, it can be used only for a specific body part such as a neck, and cannot be used for a part other than the specific part.

  In the acupressure tool as in Patent Document 4, since the body part is put inside the string and the acupressure is applied with the arm force, it is difficult to use it for an elderly person or the like who has no power and does not move as expected.

  In the present invention, a large number of spherical bodies are placed at predetermined intervals with short and thin connecting strings made of soft elastic rubber or soft plastic so that the acupressure effect can be obtained by attaching to every part of the body. The main feature is that a string-like body connected in series is wound around a part of the body where finger pressure is applied, and the spherical part is pressed against the part of the body where finger pressure is desired.

  According to the present invention, since the string connecting the spherical bodies is flexible and elastic, it can be bent and stretched, so it can be easily wrapped around every part of the body, from the head to the toe, It is not necessary to provide a finger pressure tool that can easily and simultaneously perform finger pressure by pressure contact with a spherical body at many locations.

  Because the string is flexible and elastic, it can be securely wound around various parts of the body, especially between narrow parts such as between the fingers of the limbs and bent parts such as elbows and knees, following the shape of the part. The end of the can also be clamped between the already-wrapped acupressure tool and the body for easy fastening.

  The purpose of making it possible to easily apply acupressure to any part of the body without requiring artificial force was realized using simple and inexpensive tools.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the string-shaped acupressure device of the present invention has a large number of spherical bodies 1 each having a diameter of about 7 mm to 15 mm spaced by a short and thin connecting string 2 made of soft elastic rubber or soft plastic. Concatenated in series.

  As the spherical body 1 and the connecting string 2, it is possible to adopt a series of integrally molded pieces of soft elastic rubber or soft plastic using a mold.

  The spherical body 1 may be formed integrally with the connection string 2 by wrapping the periphery of the sphere 3 made of plastic, metal, stone, or the like with a rubber or plastic film of the same quality as the connection string 2.

  As a manufacturing method of the string-shaped acupressure device using the sphere 3, a pipe having a diameter larger than the inner diameter is inserted into a tube having soft elasticity, and the sphere 3 having a diameter larger than the tube inner diameter is inserted into the tube through the pipe. After that, the pipe 3 is pulled a little and then the sphere 3 is repeatedly inserted into the tube at regular intervals. The sphere 3 is wrapped with an elastically contracted tube and connected by a contracted tube between adjacent spheres 3 and 3. A method for constructing the string 2, a method in which a heat-shrinkable plastic tube is used as the tube and a required number of spheres 3 are charged into the tube at regular intervals, and then the tube is heated and contracted. For example, a method in which a large number of spheres 3 are inserted and vulcanized and molded integrally with the connecting string can be employed.

  When acupressure is performed using the string-shaped acupressure device configured as described above, the string-shaped acupressure device is lightly wound around the body part where the acupressure is applied to an appropriate interval to give an appropriate tightening force. The spherical body 1 is pressure-bonded to a portion of the body where the finger pressure is desired.

  As a result, the acupoints and nerves of the body can be stimulated, the action of organs such as the brain and the heart can be promoted, or blood circulation can be promoted to maintain and improve health and restore physical function.

  An acupressure tool that can be easily applied to any part of the body without requiring artificial force can be provided at low cost.
