Description

  The present invention relates to clothes and bedding that can cause electrical polarization in a living body when it comes into contact with the living body, and is intended for use mainly to relieve frequent urination, constipation, muscle and nerve pain. It is what is used.

Pain relief treatment performed by applying a direct current to a living body includes a method using a rectifier as a power source, a method using a generator, and a method using a chemical battery. In such electrotherapy, a positive electrode and a negative electrode are placed in a living body, and electricity is passed between the electrodes to stimulate the living body to improve pain, etc. It is enforced by sending in. In addition, the treatment apparatus is also expensive and hinders its popularization.
In order to improve such points, the present inventors have proposed a polarizable positive electrode capable of forming a weak electric field of 1000 mV or less in the body. However, applying these electrodes to places such as the abdomen, neck, waist, and chest has the disadvantage that the electrode configuration is complicated and it is cumbersome to attach in contact with the body, which has hindered widespread use. It was.

  Develop clothing and bedding such as socks, pants, shorts, lungeries, shirts, belly, supporters, pillows, bedclothes or sleepwear with a polar electrode function.

  The means for solving the first problem of the present invention is to make direct contact with the living body in daily life such as socks, pants, shorts, lungieries, shirts, belly, supporters, bras, pillows, bedclothes or sleepwear. The garments and bedding made of natural fibers and / or synthetic fibers to be used form a coating film by impregnation, coating, printing or printing with a conductive polymer or / and carbon material on a part of the surface thereof. When the coating layer contacts the living body, a potential difference of 10 to 1000 mV is generated between the surface of the coating layer that is in contact with the living body and the surface of the living body that is not in contact with the coating layer. And clothes and bedding incorporating a polarizable electrode.

  The coating film to be a polarizable electrode is 1-5 cm in length and 1-15 cm in width, around the sole, leg, shoulder center, tail bone, chest, abdomen, arm, neck, face, and back of the head Install at least one place where you feel pain. For frequent urination and constipation, one is provided near the tailbone or in the lower abdomen. In addition, it will be installed in a place where the patient is personally concerned.

  As the conductive polymer, an aqueous solution or an aqueous dispersion of polyaniline, polyacetylene, polyparaphenylene, polythiophene and polypyrrole can be used. Among these, polythiophene and polypyrrole are preferable because they are light in color and easily available.

As the carbon material, powdery glassy carbon, carbon black, ketjen black, graphite, activated carbon, bamboo charcoal, charcoal and the like can be used. Among these, carbon black and ketjen black are preferable because they are readily available and have stable polarizability. As the powdery carbon material, a paint prepared by mixing with a hydrophilic acrylic resin or the like is used. The mixing ratio of the carbon material and the resin is preferably 5 to 40: 100 by weight. If it is 40 parts or more, the coating operation becomes difficult. If it is 5 parts or less, the polarization potential becomes low and insufficient. This ratio also varies depending on the type of carbon material. Ketjen black can obtain the desired polarization potential at a low ratio of 10 to 20 parts. From the viewpoint of electrical resistance, it has been found that a conductor including a part of semiconductor of 0.01 to 10 kΩ / cm is applicable as a polarizable electrode. There is a possibility of expansion.
The coating amount of the coating film is preferably 5 to 150 g / m ² , and the coating film thickness is preferably about 2 mm or less with less uncomfortable feeling when worn. As for the form of the coating film, various patterns such as dot pattern coating and linear pattern coating are possible in addition to the whole surface coating.

  The means for solving the second problem of the present invention is to make direct contact with the living body in daily life such as socks, pants, shorts, lungieries, shirts, belly, supporters, bras, pillows, bedclothes or sleepwear. The clothes and bedding made of natural fibers and / or synthetic fibers to be used are imparted with conductivity by blending or applying carbon fiber yarns or conductive polymers or / and carbon materials on a part of the surface. The woven fabric structure is made by weaving a thread made of the formed fibers and imparted conductivity. When this conductive fabric portion comes into contact with the living body, the surface of the conductive fabric portion that is in contact with the living body, Clothes or bedding incorporating a polarizable electrode, characterized in that a potential difference of 10 to 1000 mV is generated between the surface of the living body and the living body surface that is not in contact with the conductive fabric portion.

Carbon fibers have drawbacks that are difficult to spin and difficult to obtain. Pitch-based twisted yarns are commercially available and can be used at present, but in the future, acrylic carbon fiber yarns will also be produced. Any carbon fiber is excellent in polarizability and can be used.
When the conductive polymer is applied, the polymer described in the means for solving the first problem can be used as it is in the means for solving the second problem. When the conductive polymer is blended in the fiber, the conductive polymer is kneaded with a synthetic resin such as nylon, acrylic, polyester, etc. in a solvent-free state before the fiberization process and then into the fiberization process. I will send it. The blending ratio varies depending on the types and brands of the synthetic resin and the conductive polymer, and therefore needs to be examined in advance.
The carbon material is preferably a carbon black or ketjen black. When blended, the same applies to the conductive polymer. In the case of coating, a carbon material paint is impregnated with yarn, and then the extra paint is drawn and dried with a roller. Application conditions and drying conditions need to be optimized depending on the brand of the paint. This condition is individually determined by testing prior to use according to the method recommended by the paint manufacturer. As the yarn to be applied, nylon, acrylic, polyester and cotton yarn are mainly used.
In the case of cotton, the conductive polymer or carbon material is made into a paint and then applied to make it conductive, and it is not used by being blended inside the fiber.

  When the conductive fabric woven with carbon fiber yarn or yarn blended or coated with a conductive polymer or / and carbon material is (1) directly woven into a part of clothing and bedding (2 ) When carrying in a stacked state directly on the surface of clothes and bedding, (3) Non-conductive paper, woven cloth, etc. on the surface of the woven cloth forming the clothes and bedding Three types of cases are possible in which they are carried in a laminated state in the form of being indirectly stacked via a nonwoven fabric. It is convenient to superimpose directly or indirectly on clothes and bedding and carry them in a laminated state when exchanging or laundering a portion that becomes a polarizable electrode. In the above (2) and (3), the method of directly and indirectly stacking and supporting in a laminated state is the same as the method described in the means for solving the third problem described in the next section. By adhesive, adhesive, surface fastener, or sewing.

  Means for solving the third problem of the present invention is that clothes and bedding made of natural fibers and / or synthetic fibers used in direct contact with a living body in daily life are partly on the surface. Adhesive paper, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, felt, polymer film or foamed polymer sheet that has been rendered conductive by blending, impregnating, coating, printing, or printing with a conductive polymer or / and carbon material A conductive surface that is in contact with the living body when the conductive surface is brought into contact with the living body directly or indirectly by a method such as adhesive, adhesive, surface fastener, or sewing. Further, the present invention relates to clothes or bedding incorporating a polarizable electrode characterized in that a potential difference of 10 to 1000 mV is generated between a conductive surface and a living body surface not in contact with the conductive surface.

  The same conductive polymer and carbon material as those used in the means for solving the first problem can be used. Conductive paper, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, felt, polymer film or foamed polymer film can be used for adhesives, adhesives, surface fasteners, or sewing on the surface of clothing or bedding that comes in contact with the living body. In addition to being directly attached by a method, it is indirectly attached to clothes and bedding through non-conductive paper or woven cloth as in the means for solving the second problem.

  With the implementation of the present invention, the potential difference between the polarizable electrode and the living body caused by the polarization of the living body is, for example, in the state where the left finger and the positive terminal of the potentiometer are in contact with the polarizing electrode, the negative terminal is the right thumb and the index finger. The measured value is the displayed value of the potential when the potentiometer indicates a stable value at that time. As the potentiometer, A & D Corporation AD-5529 was used.

By implementing the present invention, the example of the shirt shown in FIG. 1 has the effect of alleviating the symptoms of stiffness and pain near the waist and shoulders. Frequent urination is improved to 0 to 1 time / night, and stool is improved to 1 to 3 times / day. As a result of the improvement in excretion of stool, a diet effect can be produced as a secondary effect. In the sock example, athlete's foot was able to be cured in about one month, and it was confirmed as a secondary effect by applying this polarizable electrode.
The electrodes also have a simple structure that can be worn at the time of manufacture of clothing and bedding at a clothing and bedding manufacturing company without the need for patient operation. did it.

In the means for solving the first problem, the clothes or the bedding use fibers commonly used at present, such as nylon, acrylic, polyester, and cotton as they are.
As the conductive polymer, polythiophene is excellent in transparency and is the most appropriate choice. For example, BP-105 manufactured by Kaken Sangyo Enocoat, Enocoat HC-2000, CLEVIOS manufactured by Sankyo Kasei Sangyo, and SEPLEGYDA manufactured by Shin-Etsu Polymer are suitable for use. As the carbon material, a conductive paint using carbon black, for example, CH-10 manufactured by Jujo Chemical is used. The coating method is a silk screen printing method, and full surface solid printing is good. The coating amount is preferably 10 to 30 g / m ² in terms of solid content. The polarizable electrode in this case can generate a potential difference of 300 to 400 mV between living bodies.

  In the means for solving the second problem, for example, taking socks as an example, a yarn of polyester fiber commonly used in socks is impregnated with the Jujo Chemical ink CH-10 described in the preceding paragraph before the weaving step. Thereafter, excess ink was squeezed out with a pinch roll and dried at about 80 ° C. for 20 minutes to obtain a woven yarn. The adhesion amount of the resin is suitably 100 to 30 to 90 parts, and preferably 50 to 60 parts by weight with respect to the yarn. Using this thread, the sock was woven using a conductive portion of a circular portion having a foot portion of about 3 cm, a width of about 3 cm in the lateral direction of the center arch of the sole, and a heel portion of about 4 cm in diameter. As a result of wearing this sock, the occurrence of a polarizable potential difference of 250 to 350 mV was observed between the place where the electrically conductive yarn was used and the living body. The foot athlete's foot also completely improved in about a month.

  As a means for solving the third problem, a hand-wiped cotton cloth that has been washed with water and desiccated with water is coated with a shampoo (Kaisho ink) for kaimei cloth, dried at room temperature for 5 hours, and then washed with water to obtain a dyed cloth. . This was cut into a size of 5 × 10 cm to obtain an electrode material. This was sewed and fixed laterally with cotton thread at the bottom of the shoulder and back center of the underwear running shirt. When worn in this state, a potential difference of about 300 mV could be observed between the living body and the electrode. As a result of wearing this shirt, shoulder pain and lower back pain disappeared within minutes after wearing. In addition, the number of urine during the night decreased from 5 to 1 or less, and stool excretion occurred once or twice daily.

  With this product, patients can purchase clothes and bedding that already incorporate polarizable electrodes at the time of sale, and there is no need for complicated operations such as self-wearing. I think so.
