  The acupressure effect tool according to claim 5 is the acupressure effect tool according to claim 4, wherein the detachable acupressure member further includes elastic portions on the top side and the neck side of the lower surface of the second substrate portion. It is characterized by.

  According to the device for acupressure effect of the present invention, since the upper surface of the substrate portion on which a plurality of long portions are arranged has an angle, the portion from the neck to the back of the head naturally rises at bedtime, It can be used comfortably for a long time without burden, and since the skin and muscles are stimulated from the neck to the back of the head at a plurality of intervals substantially linearly, stimulation is efficient. This improves blood circulation and contributes to recovery from fatigue, relief of stuffy nose, normalization of gums, increased foot temperature during sleep, and the like.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an acupressure effect tool 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention as seen from the upper left. FIG. 2A is a left side view of the acupressure device 1, and FIG. 2B is a left side view showing the usage state of the acupressure device 1.

  The acupressure effect tool 1 is used as a pillow, and includes a flat plate-like substrate portion 2 having a flat upper surface and a plurality of long portions 3 a to 3 i arranged on the substrate portion 2. The substrate portion 2 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a small height, and the plurality of long portions 3 a to 3 i are provided along the long side direction of the substrate portion 2. The acupressure effect tool 1 further includes a support portion 4 that supports one long side of the substrate portion 2 such that the short side of the substrate portion 2 has an angle θ with respect to the horizontal plane. The use state of the acupressure effect tool 1 is such that the longitudinal direction of the long portions 3a to 3i is oriented in a direction perpendicular to the human height direction and the support portion 4 is on the top of the head.

  The long portions 3a to 3i have different heights H, and the long portions 3a to 3h other than the top of the longest portion have a substantially chevron shape with respect to the substrate portion 2 in the length direction of the person when the upper surfaces thereof are connected. It is trying to make. As a result, the portion where the stimulation is extremely small from the person's neck to the back of the head is eliminated. Further, the longest part 3i on the most parietal side stimulates the vicinity of the top for the overall stimulation of the head, and is higher than the other long parts 3a to 3h with respect to the substrate part 2. Yes. The corners at the upper end of each of the long portions 3a to 3i are chamfered so that there is no intensive stimulation at the corners.

  The individual width W of the long portions 3a to 3i and the width P of the gaps between the long portions 3a to 3i are determined in consideration of the degree of stimulation. That is, when the width W is small and the width P is large, the stimulation is large, and when the width W is large and the width P is small, the stimulation is small.

  Specifically, according to the experiment of the inventor of the present application, the angle θ with respect to the horizontal plane of the substrate portion 2 is 6 to 13 ° (for example, 9 °), and the width W of the long portions 3a to 3i is 12 to 18 mm (for example, 15 mm). The width P of the long portions 3a to 3i is preferably 3 to 15 mm (for example, 6 to 8 mm). The height of the substrate unit 2 is 12 to 18 mm (for example, 15 mm), the short side length of the substrate unit 2 is 16 to 22 cm (for example, 19.5 cm), and the long side length of the substrate unit 2 is 40 to 50 cm (for example, 45 cm). The height H of the long portions 3a to 3i is set to 30 to 50 mm (for example, 40 mm) with the long portion 3c as a substantially mountain-shaped top portion, and the long portions 3b and 3a facing the neck side from the long portion 3c are gradually increased. By 2.5 to 5 mm (for example, 3.5 mm), the long portion 3 c from the long portion 3 c is reduced by 2.5 to 4 mm (for example, 3.5 mm), and the long portions 3 e and 3 f are further reduced. 3 g and 3 h are gradually reduced by 1.5 to 3.0 mm (for example, 2 to 2.5 mm). The long portion 3i is preferably 50 to 70 mm (for example, 60 mm). The value of the height H of the long portions 3a to 3i when the height of the substrate portion 2 is 15 mm and the angle θ with respect to the horizontal plane of the substrate portion 2 is 9 °, for example, 3a is 33 mm, 3b is 36.5 mm, 3c is 40 mm, 3d is 36.5 mm, 3e is 34.5 mm, 3f is 32.5 mm, 3g is 30.5 mm, 3h is 28.5 mm, and 3i is 60 mm. Then, the height from the lowest horizontal surface of the acupressure device 1 to the upper ends of the long portions 3a to 3i is about 50mm for 3a, about 57mm for 3b, about 65mm for 3c, about 65mm for 3d, about 3mm for 3e. 67 mm, 3 f is about 69 mm, 3 g is about 69 mm, 3 h is about 69 mm, and 3 i is about 108 mm. The length in the short side direction of the substrate part 2 of the support part 4 is preferably 30 mm or more in order to prevent sinking. The height of the support portion 4 is set to a value that obtains a desired angle θ. For example, the length of the short side of the substrate portion is 19.5 cm, and the height of the support portion 4 is 3.2 cm. Is 9 °.

  The board | substrate part 2, the elongate parts 3a-3i, and the support part 4 are formed from hard materials, such as a timber and resin. When wood is used as a material, it is assembled using fastening members such as nails and screws. Thereby, a fastening degree can be adjusted. For example, for any long part other than the longest part 3a, 3i on the most neck side and the most parietal side, the fastening degree with the substrate part 2 is slightly weakened so that it can be finely moved following the movement in the height direction of the person. This reduces the resistance in that direction and improves the comfort of sleeping. Moreover, it is desirable to use cypress as wood, and it has a tranquilizing and tranquilizing effect during sleep, and also has insect repellent, antibacterial and dehumidifying effects. Thinned wood can also be used for effective use of forest resources. In this case, if the long side of the substrate portion 2 having the widest area is divided to have a small area and fastened and fixed to the long portions 3a to 3i and the support portion 4, the thinned material can be easily used. Further, although thinned wood is slightly difficult to use, as shown in FIG. 3A, the substrate portion 2 can be deformed into a substantially triangular shape when viewed from the side, and the support portion 4 can be omitted.

  Moreover, the board | substrate part 2, the elongate parts 3a-3i, and the support part 4 can also be integrally molded with resin.

  When this acupressure effect tool 1 is used, the region from the person's neck to the back of the head rises naturally as a whole due to the angle θ of the substrate 2 with respect to the horizontal plane. This reduces the burden on the neck. In addition, since the long portions 3a to 3i are inclined toward the front, they can hit the skin and muscles from the neck to the back of the head substantially perpendicularly, and are stimulated at a plurality of intervals linearly in a direction perpendicular to the human height direction. So stimulation is efficient. Further, the angle θ with respect to the horizontal plane of the substrate portion 2 reduces the burden on the neck even when a person is turned sideways, and can efficiently stimulate the vicinity of the lower side of the ear. In addition, the length of the long side direction of the board | substrate part 2 is set to the length which does not need to reset the acupressure effect tool 1 and to adjust a position, even if it becomes sideways on either side.

  In addition, when the longest part 3a on the most neck side is tilted toward you, it will widen the space where a part of the shoulder can enter, limiting the natural movement of the shoulder and placing a burden on the shoulder To prevent.

  In this way, while being able to use each part of the human body comfortably for a long time without putting a burden on the bedtime, it efficiently stimulates the skin and muscles from the neck to the back of the head, improves blood circulation, recovers fatigue, It contributes to relief of stuffy nose, normalization of gums, and increased foot temperature during sleep.

  In order to make the stimulation of strength according to each person's preference, it is desirable to use a separate thin and flexible cushioning member 5 over the acupressure device 1 as shown in FIG. The shock-absorbing member 5 is of a suitable size, for example, towel cloth, and is used in a single layer according to preference, or is doubled or triple-folded and used in a thicker manner. In this case, since the buffer member 5 enters the gaps between the long portions 3a to 3i, the linear stimulation of the skin and muscle is maintained while the stimulation is weakened. In addition, the person is prone, and the use is such that the longest part 3i on the most parietal side is placed with a shin and the chin is placed near the top of the long part 3a to 3h (long part 3c) for stimulation. Although a method is also possible, in this case, it is preferable to make the buffer member 5 thicker than usual.

  In the present embodiment, the number of the long portions 3a to 3i is nine, but the increase or decrease in the number can be arbitrarily changed. Further, like the long portions 3g, 3g ′ and 3h, 3h ′ shown in FIG. 3 (b), some of the long portions 3a to 3i are made of laminated plates, or some single plates are used. It is also possible to provide a step by processing the upper surface of the substrate. In addition, for people with relatively good blood flow, when the heights of the long portions 3a to 3h are aligned or the long portion 3i that stimulates the vicinity of the top of the head is omitted so as not to make the stimulation too strong. There is also. Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), the auxiliary long member 3j is provided as shown in FIG. 3 (c) so that the auxiliary long member 3j that can be attached and detached is provided so that a person with a small head can easily obtain the effect of the long portion 3i on the parietal side. Can also be attached in front of the long portion 3i. The auxiliary long member 3j can be attached by winding it with a rubber band together with the long portion 3i. The width of the auxiliary long member 3j is preferably 10 to 30 mm (for example, 20 mm). The height of the auxiliary long member 3j is set such that the upper end of the auxiliary long member 3j is lowered by 3 to 12 mm (for example, 7 mm) from the upper end of the long portion 3i when placed on the long portion 3h. It is good.

  The long portions 3a to 3i can be variously modified according to the general preference of a person. For example, in order to moderately reduce the stimulation so that the buffer member 5 may not be used, as shown in the partial enlarged view of FIG. 3D, the upper part of all or part of the long portions 3a to 3i. The elastic part 31 and the thin plate 32 may be laminated in this order from the bottom. For example, the elastic part 31 is made of a foamed resin having a thickness of 15 to 25 mm (for example, 20 mm), and the thin plate 32 is 3 to 8 mm (for example, 5 mm). Moreover, as shown in the partial enlarged view of FIG.3 (e), the elastic part 31 ', the thin plate 32', and the elastic part 33 'were laminated | stacked in this order from the bottom on all or a part upper part of elongate part 3a-3i. It can also be. For example, the elastic portions 31 ′ and 33 ′ are made of foamed resin having a thickness of 5 to 15 mm (for example, 10 mm), and the thin plate 32 ′ is 1 to 2 mm (for example, 1.5 mm).

  Next, the removable acupressure member 6 used in combination with the acupressure effect tool 1 will be described. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the acupressure effect tool 1 ′ in which the acupressure effect tool 1 and the removable acupressure member 6 are combined. FIG. 5A is a left side view of the detachable acupressure member 6, and FIG. 5B is a left side view showing a usage state of the acupressure effect tool 1 '.

  The detachable acupressure member 6 is used by being placed above the acupressure device 1, and is arranged on the flat plate-like second substrate portion 7 and the second substrate portion 7. A plurality of second elongated portions 8a to 8f provided, and an insertion plate 9 (for example, made of hard resin) fixed to the second substrate portion 7 or the second elongated portion 8f closest to the top of the head, Have Moreover, it has two flat elastic parts (head-side elastic part, neck-side elastic part) 10A, 10B (for example, made of foamed resin) on the top side and the neck side of the lower surface of the second substrate part 7. The plurality of second long portions 8 a to 8 f are provided along the long side direction of the second substrate portion 7.

  The detachable acupressure member 6 has an insertion plate 9 inserted into the gap between the elongated portions 3a to 3i adjacent to the acupressure device 1 and the second substrate portion 7 is acupressure device through the elastic portions 10A and 10B. The longitudinal direction of the plurality of second long portions 8a to 8f is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the long portions 3a to 3i of the acupressure device 1. That is, in the use state of the removable acupressure member 6 combined with the acupressure effect tool 1, the height of the upper surface of the second elongated portions 8a to 8f is generally high, and the longitudinal direction thereof is perpendicular to the human height direction. Comes in the direction.

  When this detachable acupressure member 6 is used in combination with the acupressure device 1, the back of the head is lifted as a whole, so that acupressure effects can be obtained while enjoying television viewing and the like.

  The 2nd board | substrate part 7, 2nd elongate part 8a-8f, and the insertion board 9 can also be integrally molded with resin. The upper surface of the second elongated portions 8a to 8f may be substantially mountain-shaped, but the occipital region is lifted when used in combination with the acupressure device 1 so that the stimulation is suppressed by adjusting the height. Is desirable. In the present embodiment, the second long portion corresponding to the long portion 3i of the acupressure device 1 is omitted. In addition, about the shape and structure of 2nd elongate part 8a-8f, it is the same as that of elongate part 3a-3i of the tool 1 for acupressure effect. Similarly to the long portions 3a to 3i, the upper portions of the second long portions 8a to 8f can be configured by appropriately combining an elastic portion and a thin plate in order to moderately reduce the stimulation.

  The top-side elastic portion 10A and the neck-side elastic portion 10B on the lower surface of the second substrate portion 7 secure the above angle θ as the angle with respect to the horizontal plane, so that the top-side elastic portion 10A is more than the neck-side elastic portion 10B. It is thick. The head-side elastic portion 10A and the neck-side elastic portion 10B are configured so that when the substantially mountain-shaped top portion (long portion 3c) of the long portions 3a to 3h is positioned between them, it does not contact the second substrate portion 7. By making it thick, it can also prevent that the 2nd board | substrate part 7 becomes an unnatural angle. For example, the height from the lowest horizontal surface of the acupressure device 1 to the upper end of the second elongated portion 8f of the removable acupressure member 6 is about 11.0 cm, and extends from the upper end of the second elongated portion 8a. The height is about 8.5 cm.
