Description

  The present invention relates to a massage device that can be used easily even by children and can promote a visual acuity recovery effect by applying a vibration stimulus around the eye.

  Due to the increase in near-field work for personal computers, mobile phones, portable game machines, etc., eye fatigue and decreased visual acuity have become social problems. Long-term near-sight work causes the eye muscles to become tense and fatigued, and tension reduces the number of blinks, and the face muscles, neck and shoulder muscles are also fatigued. When fatigue accumulates in the eye muscles, it is said that stiffening occurs and myopia is advanced.

  Many instruments for massaging the eye have been proposed and are commercially available. However, there are limited eye massagers that can restore vision. For example, the eye mask disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-000503 is a structure that stimulates the acupuncture points around the eye with a vibration function. The eye mask is attached so as to cover the eye, and the mask has a small hole. It is described that it is possible to recover vision. Utility Model 3130346 discloses that myopia can be prevented and treated by wearing with eyes closed and massaging the eye with warming, pressurizing and vibration functions. Similarly, Japanese Patent No. 3667268 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-253631 are techniques for massaging the eye part from the top of the eyelid with vibrations or the like.

  In order to restore visual acuity, it is known that the effect is improved by simultaneously performing eye movements that move the eyeballs while healing eye fatigue. The reason for this is that in treatments such as massage, acupressure, acupuncture, and acupuncture, patients are required to relax with their physical strength. It can be said that similar measures are necessary for recovery.

  A goggle-type visual acuity recovery device that can wear an eyeball and is capable of eye movement has been proposed. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-102406 describes a wearing tool that covers the periphery of an eye part having a massage function by an acupoint pushing projection, and the eyeball part has an open structure, and myopia prevention and eyesight recovery are described. Japanese Patent No. 3494375 describes that it is possible to recover the visual acuity by simultaneously moving the eyeball in the stimulation direction while pressing and massaging around the eyes with a vibrating projection. Furthermore, Japanese Patent No. 31488791 discloses a technology in which a liquid crystal screen is incorporated in goggles, convergence training and perspective gaze training that are eye muscle training are possible, and acupoints can be stimulated by protrusions in the goggles. Yes. However, the massage function for stimulating the acupoints and the eye movement that is training for the eye muscles are set to be performed separately.

Problems to be solved by the present invention

  Conventional eye massaging devices for eyesight recovery effects are eye mask type that covers the eyes, or goggle type technology that can be worn around the eyes and can move the eyeball There is. However, the eye mask type that covers the eyes is excellent in the effect of recovering eye fatigue by massage effects such as heating, pressurization, vibration, etc., but it can be used with the eyes closed or pinhole masks. As described above, the field of view is limited, and it is difficult to perform eye movement accompanied by a visual recognition operation, and the visual acuity recovery effect is limited. In addition, eye masks that are stimulated by pressing or vibrating from the top of the eyelid have the risk of over-pressing the cornea and eyeballs, and the eyelid skin is thin and sensitive, making it difficult to use for children. It was. The goggle type capable of eye movement has a structure in which an acupuncture point (acupuncture point) around the eye is pressed with a protrusion, and has a feature that the visual acuity recovery effect can be enhanced by stimulating the acupuncture point with vibration or the like. However, there are difficulties in accurately capturing the acupuncture points, difficulty in reproducing the finger pressing feeling with the artificial protrusions, and difficulty in making the child aware of the position of the acupuncture points.

  In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, even a child can use it easily, without having to worry about the position of the acupuncture points, always stimulating a predetermined part, and there is no hindrance to eye movements that move the eyeballs and eyes. An open-type eye massager that does not cover the surroundings, and provides visual acuity recovery that can easily perform eye movements that solve the stiffness of the eye muscles while effectively applying vibration stimulation that relaxes the tension of the eye muscles. The purpose is to provide a massage device that can promote.

Means for solving the problem

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is not a conventional method for stimulating the acupuncture points around the eyes, but focuses on facial muscles (facial muscles that are skin muscles) and massages facial muscles to strain eye muscles. As a result of investigating the method of loosening, the conventional acupuncture points are projected by a method of stimulating the nasal root and temporal muscles adjacent to the ocular muscle that covers the eyeball in a donut shape and sandwiched between the left and right sides. It has been found that the effect of relaxing the tension of the eye muscles can be improved by devising a method of surface stimulation by shaking the contacting skin surface by vibration from a method of point stimulation such as pressing with an object.

  The visual acuity recovery massage device of the present invention is a device for massaging the periphery of the eye portion to be worn in contact with the nasal root portion and the temporal region of the face, and includes a body portion made of a cushion material and a wearing band. The main body portion has a front cushion portion and a pair of side cushion portions located at both ends of the front cushion portion and integrated with a connecting portion, and the front cushion portion has a protruding surface in the center. The projection surface can contact the nose root portion, the front cushion portion excluding the projection surface is separated from the heel, and the side cushion portion can contact the temporal region, The mounting band is disposed at the ends of the pair of side cushion parts, and the main body part can be fixed to the head by the mounting band, and a vibration member is built in a desired part of the main body part.

Effect of device

  In the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. In the massage device of the present invention, the main body is in close contact with the nasal root and the temporal region, and the nasal root and temporal muscles, which are the skin muscles, are massaged by the vibration of the built-in vibration member. Furthermore, the vibration of the main body is transmitted from the contact skin surface to the bone, is transmitted to the nasal bone of the nasal root portion, the temporal bone of the temporal region, and is also transmitted to the orbital portion sandwiched between both bones. The nasal root and temporal muscles are relaxed by the vibration massage effect, the tension of the ocular muscles sandwiched between the bidermal muscles is relaxed, and the eye muscles in the orbit are also relaxed. The eye muscle here refers to the extraocular muscles (inner rectus muscles, external rectus muscles, upper rectus muscles, lower rectus muscles, upper oblique muscles, lower oblique muscles) that are involved in eye movements, and upper eye movements that are involved in blinking Refers to muscles and ocular muscles.

  The nasal root muscle is a muscle that contracts when smelling an unpleasant odor, and the action of contracting this muscle that creates a recumbency on the nose is linked to discomfort and tensions the facial muscles. Conversely, relaxing the nasal root muscles has the effect of relaxing the facial muscles. The temporal muscle is one of the masticatory muscles and is a muscle that acts when the back teeth are bitten and tightened when working with force or enduring, and is tensioned by a force application operation or a preparation operation. By relaxing the temporal muscles, there is an effect of preventing the tension of the interlocking jaw muscles and cheek muscles.

  The mechanism by which myopia progresses has not been elucidated medically, but long-term nearsighted work causes fatigue of the eyes, strengthens the muscles around the eyes, extremely reduces the number of blinks, and reduces the movement of the eye muscles. Immobilize. Muscles are known to get tired even if they are used excessively or not, and it is said that their functions can be maintained by appropriate use. The massaging device of the present invention does not restrict blinking or eyeball movement when worn, and can be easily operated while watching TV at home, and can be said to be a massaging device that can be easily continued even by children. By relaxing the tension of the muscles around the eyes with the vibration massage effect, the tension of the eye muscles is relaxed and the movement of the blink is normalized. In addition, by performing an action to look into the distance and an eye movement that moves the eyeball left and right and up and down with vibration massage, it is possible to effectively train muscles that have become extremely infrequently used in everyday life, The visual function can be restored.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The present invention is an open-type massage device that does not cover the surroundings of the eyes that are in contact with the nasal root portion and the temporal region of the face, and the main body portion is made of a comfortable cushion material in contact with the skin, and the front cushion portion Is characterized by stimulating the nasal root muscles in the nasal root part, and the side cushion part in close contact with the ear hook line to stimulate the temporal muscles. The cushioning material of the main body part contains a vibration member. The vibration propagates to the entire cushion part, and the main body part can be fixed to the head with a mounting band.It is easy for a child to attach and detach, and can be easily held in place. It is a visual acuity recovery massager that does not hinder eye movement and can simultaneously perform eye movement while applying vibration stimulation to the periphery of the eye.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the visual acuity recovery massage device of the present invention includes main body portions 1 and 2 made of a cushion material, and wearing bands 4 and 5. It has a front cushion portion 1 and a pair of side cushion portions 2 that are located at both ends of the front cushion portion 1 and are integrated with a connecting portion 3. The skin contact surfaces of the main body portions 1 and 2 have a curved shape, and the front cushion portion 1 has a projecting surface 1a at the center, the projecting surface 1a contacts the nose root portion, and the front cushion portion 1 excluding the projecting surface 1a. Is separated from the heel. The side cushion part 2 abuts on the side of the head, and the mounting bands 4 and 5 are arranged at the ends of the pair of side cushion parts 2. Can be fixed to the head. As shown in FIG. 5, the vibration member 7 is built in the front cushion portion 1 of the main body, the battery 8 and the switch 9 are built in the side cushion portion 2 of the main body, and the vibration member 7 is not shown. The battery 8 and the switch 9 are connected by wiring. The front cushion part 1 and the side cushion part 2 may be made of a foamed plastic material such as urethane foam that is lightweight and flexible, and thus is comfortable when in contact with the skin.

  FIG. 4 is a three-dimensional view of the vision recovery massage device of the present invention. The main body portion is made of a cushion material that is comfortable in contact with the skin, the front cushion portion 1 is in contact with the nasal root recess, and the side cushion portion 2 is in a shape that can be attached in contact with the periphery of the temple in the eyes and the ear hook line. The cushion material of the main body is made of a foamed plastic material that is lightweight and soft like urethane foam and is safe to touch the skin. The front cushion portion 1 is preferably provided with a projecting surface at the center, and the projecting surface is preferably in a shape capable of abutting along a recess in the nasal root portion, and an appropriate curved surface shape is suitable. The thickness of the projection surface is a thickness that can secure an appropriate space in which the eyelashes do not touch the main body cushion material even if the main body is moved away from the eyelid and blinks. Furthermore, the thickness of the projection surface has the effect of widening the visual field, and the eye movement accompanied with the visual recognition operation can be performed more comfortably. A similar foamed plastic material is suitable for the side cushion part 2, has an appropriate length that can cover the periphery of the temple along the ear hooking line, and the surface in contact with the skin is preferably a curved shape.

  FIG. 5 is a three-dimensional perspective view. A vibration member comprising a vibration motor 7, a battery 8, and a switch 9 is built in the cushion material of the main body. The front cushion portion 1 and the pair of side cushion portions 2 are coupled by a pair of connecting portions 3 having appropriate rigidity and flexibility made of rubber, and vibration is transmitted to the entire cushion material. For example, in the structure in which the vibration motor 7 is built in the front cushion part 1, the vibration of the front cushion part 1 is transmitted to the side cushion part 2 via the connecting part 3, and the entire cushion material of the main body part vibrates. The structure that the massage effect by the built-in vibration motor 7 is easily transmitted to the entire cushion material has been realized.

  The main body cushion material may be hollow. In the illustrated example, the front cushion portion 1 and the side cushion portion 2 are hollow, and a mounting band is disposed in the hollow on the end portion side of the side cushion portion 2. This mounting band includes a tubular support 4 and a rubber band 5. The tube-like support 4 is suitably made of a silicone resin, which is a medical material that is easy to put on the ear and that is safe to touch even when in contact with the skin. It is a tube shape that is easy for children to wear and has little burden even when worn on the ear, and its outer diameter is preferably 5 mm or more and 10 mm or less. The tubular support 4 is fixed to the head with a mounting band formed by inserting a rubber band 5 having excellent stretchability. The end of the rubber band 5 is tied by the binding tool 6, and the band pressure can be arbitrarily changed by adjusting the length of the rubber band 5. The rubber band 5 is suitably a string-like hair band that is widely marketed. A band shape that is easy to use for children, is relatively safe even if accidentally tightened, and can be easily attached and detached. The connecting portion 3 is L-shaped, and one end is fixed to the front cushion portion 1 and the other end is fixed to the side cushion portion 2. Such a connection part 3 may be comprised with the rubber member which has moderate rigidity, for example, and may be hollow. When the connecting portion 3 is hollow, the mounting band composed of the tubular support 4 and the rubber band 5 is connected to the connecting portion 3, the front cushion portion 1, and the other side cushion portion 2 from the one side cushion portion 2. It may be extended inside the hollow so as to reach

  Next, the usage method of this invention is demonstrated.

  FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are specific diagrams at the time of mounting. It is attached so that the projection surface of the front cushion part 1 of the main body part is in contact with the nose root part and fills the recess of the nose. The side cushion portion 2 automatically adheres to the periphery of the temple by placing the tubular support 4 constituting the mounting band on the ear. By adjusting the length of the rubber band 5, the band pressure is adjusted to stabilize the main body at a predetermined position. It is not necessary to strongly press the skin, and a weak band pressure is desirable so that the vibration of the front cushion 1 swings the contact skin surface. The user sits on a relaxable chair or sofa and turns on the vibration member switch 9 to drive the vibration massage. Confirm that the vibration is transmitted to the skin, and at the same time maintain a comfortable posture that relaxes the tension of the body, while looking at the distance, moving the line of sight alternately, moving the eyeball left and right, up and down, etc. .

  For example, if you are indoors, you can adjust the line of sight to a TV screen that is 2 to 3 meters away, or move your face slowly to the left or right while keeping your line of sight on the TV screen. The moving operation can be performed easily. Be aware of the natural line of sight without the power of eyelids, rather than the action of narrowing your eyes and staring. During the eye movement, it is preferable to maintain a relaxed state as much as possible, and the eye movement is preferably a movement that moves slowly and greatly, and the effect is high. However, drowsiness makes it difficult to move the eyeball, and the visual recognition operation may be obscured. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to eliminate drowsiness by opening the eyes wide and closing the eyelids strongly. Furthermore, viewing outdoor scenery through a window has the effect of further relaxing the tension of the eye muscles.

  With this device, the face and jaw positions naturally upward, and when the face is straight, the body cushioning material blocks part of the field of view (upper area), making it difficult to visually recognize. Rises and faces up. The near-sight work often requires a downward posture, which is the opposite of that, and can naturally realize an effective posture for eyesight recovery.

  The perspective view of FIG. 5 is an example of a vibrating member. The vibration motor 7 which is a vibration member can select one or both of a vibration function by a rotary motor having an eccentric weight and a piston motion by a solenoid. In the case where the vibration motor 7 is built in the position of the front cushion portion 1, it is preferable to use the vibration function by the rotary motor or the combined use with the piston motion, and only the piston motion is suitable for the position of the side cushion portion 2. This is because the side cushion portion 2 is close to the ear and there is a concern about motor noise. The vibration function by the rotary motor and the selection of the piston motion are preferably used in such a way that the eye movement proceeds smoothly and the relaxed state can be continued during the eye movement.

  For example, by driving both vibration functions in the initial stage of wearing, the eye part can be brought into a relaxed state more quickly. Further, when the eyeball moves while gazing at the TV screen, the rotation motor may be stopped and only the piston movement may be used. Furthermore, in the movement that moves the eyeball greatly, there is no significant difference in the effect even with the vibration function by the rotary motor alone. The selection of the vibration function is preferably mainly composed of a vibration function by a rotary motor having an eccentric weight, and the piston motion is preferably constituted as a sub.

  The standard of the use time is preferably about 10 to 15 minutes per time, and a maximum of 30 minutes is suitable for use twice a day. Excessive use should be avoided as it may cause fatigue in the eyes and facial muscles. After use, it is recommended to massage the area around the eyes and face well with bare hands etc., which can reduce fatigue of eyes and facial muscles. In particular, it is effective to massage around the eyes and face during bathing. As a guideline to correct myopia by properly using the massage device of the present invention and performing necessary eye movements, for example, a 20-30 minute correction training is performed every day, and myopia power 1D (diopter) is It takes about 60 days to correct. This condition is an example of a person with weak myopia to medium myopia having a myopia power of minus 5D or less, and does not always require glasses or contact lenses, and is an example of a person who can live without glasses at least at home. If the myopia power exceeds minus 5D or if glasses or contact lenses are used at all times, the number of correction days is long.

  The above-described embodiment is an exemplification, and the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the mounting band includes the tubular support 4 and the rubber band 5, but may not include the rubber band 5. In addition, the skin contact surface of the main body has a curved surface shape, and the projection surface 1 a included in the front cushion portion 1 has a shape protruding over the entire circumferential direction of the front cushion portion 1 at the center of the front cushion portion 1. However, at least the projection surface protruding to the nasal root portion side is sufficient, whereby the front cushion portion 1 excluding the projection surface 1a is reliably separated from the heel. Furthermore, as shown by a chain line in FIG. 7, a notch may be provided on the lower side of the front cushion portion 1 so that the field of view can be expanded within a range that does not hinder the effect of eye movement.

  This device is effective for children and adults who are troubled by vision loss such as myopia, astigmatism, presbyopia, etc., and can be used easily by anyone at home, while effectively massaging around the eyes. It is a vision recovery massager that can move the eyeballs, and it can be expected as an indispensable item for maintaining the health of the eyes in today's eyes.
