Description

  The present invention relates to a dry herb heating tool used without being wetted, and more specifically to a herb heating tool that can be used in a different form.

  As a goods utilizing the healing effect of herbs, for example, there is a pillow with herbs adjustable in height as shown in Patent Document 1 below. The herb pillow of Patent Document 1 has a structure in which string bodies for height adjustment are attached to the four corners of a large cloth bag body in which buckwheat and herbs are mixed and packed. Further, there are herb pack type masks and herb packs shown in Patent Document 2 below. Patent Document 2 discloses a herb pack mask in which a string to be put on an ear is attached to both sides of the herb pack and a herb pack for a mask in which an adhesive layer is provided on the herb pack.

  However, these are all used for specific purposes such as pillows and masks, and cannot be widely used for other purposes. Moreover, although the herb has the peculiar effect obtained by using it warming, it is not disclosed at all about the point used warming so that such a utility can be exhibited.

  Conventionally, herb balls and herb pads are known as heating tools for warming herbs. Herb balls are made by wrapping dried herbs in a ball with a cloth such as cotton. Wet them and warm them with a steamer or microwave oven, or put them in a plastic bag and warm them with a water bath. When used, by pressing against the body and absorbing the herbal ingredients transdermally, the effect of enhancing metabolism and promoting sweating can be obtained. Moreover, in addition to the warming effect, the effect of loosening the body and the healing effect due to the scent of the herb can be obtained. Such a herb ball must be refrigerated or frozen after it has been wetted.

  On the other hand, herbal pats are made by filling dry herbs in flat cloth bags of various shapes and using them without getting wet. When warming, warm it in a microwave oven or put it in a plastic bag and pour it into a hot water bath. When using, put it on your body, hit it, or pinch it. Herb pat is used without getting wet, so the effect of percutaneous absorption of herbal ingredients cannot be obtained like the herb balls mentioned above, but it can be used easily even from the top of clothing and is suitable for self-care. There are advantages. Other warming effects, stiffness relief effects, and healing effects due to the aroma of herbs are the same as for herbal balls. Since such herb pads do not get wet, they can be used repeatedly and can be stored for a long time at room temperature.

  However, since the herb balls described above are used in a wet state, refrigerated storage is essential. In particular, in summer, in order to prevent the occurrence of mold, even if refrigerated, it can be preserved only for about 1 week to 10 days. Although the shelf life can be extended by freezing, it is the same as in the case of refrigeration that the problem concerning mold generation cannot be fundamentally solved because it has been wetted once. Thus, once used, the herb balls have the disadvantage that they cannot be stored for a long time because they are wet. Moreover, it must be prepared or purchased every time it is used, and in order to make it, it is necessary to purchase or store a large amount of herbs.

  On the other hand, since the herb pat is used without being wetted, the above-mentioned problems relating to the preservation of the herb ball can be solved, but since it is flat, it cannot be used by being pressed like a herb ball.

  The present invention focuses on the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a herb heating tool that can be stored for a long period of time and can be used as an herb ball or herb pad.

The herb heating device of the present invention is a dry type that can be used without getting wet, and can be used as a herb ball when rolled up, and can be used as a herb pad when rolled up. FIG. 1A shows a state in which the herb heating tool 10 of the present embodiment is unfolded, that is, a plan view of a pad shape. The herb heating tool 10 includes a substantially triangular cloth bag 12, flat strings 24 </ b> A and 24 </ b> B provided on both ends of the bottom side 16 of the cloth bag 12, and a dry herb 30 filled in the cloth bag 12.

  The “substantially triangular” in the present invention includes a rounded corner and a shape obtained by cutting off a part of the corner. In the present embodiment, the cloth bag 12 has a substantially triangular shape, but it does not preclude adoption of other shapes such as a trapezoid. If the cloth bag 12 is substantially triangular as in this embodiment, the apex (corner) 14 corresponds to the upper portion shown in claim 1, the base 16 corresponds to the bottom, the sides 15A, 15B and the ends 22A, 22B It corresponds to a pair of side portions. For example, in the case of a trapezoid, the upper side corresponds to the upper portion shown in claim 1, the bottom side corresponds to the bottom portion, and the sides connecting the ends of the upper side and the bottom side correspond to the pair of side portions.

  The cloth bag 12 is formed, for example, by sewing the periphery of two square vertices that are opposite to each other. As the fabric, for example, a strong cotton fabric is preferable. In the present embodiment, a seam 18 formed in parallel to the base 16 is further provided at a position near the vertex 14 with respect to the base 16. The cloth bag 12 is divided into the grip portion 32 shown in FIG. 1 (B) and the filling portion 28 side filled with the dry herb 30 by the stitches 18.

  In the present embodiment, the cloth bag 12 has both ends of the base 16 cut off perpendicularly to the base 16 and ends of the flat cords 24A and 24B are attached to the ends 22A and 22B by sewing. (See the seams 26A and 26B). Further, other seams 20A and 20B are formed in parallel to the seams 26A and 26B at positions inside the seams 26A and 26B. In the present embodiment, the region surrounded by the inner seams 20A and 20B, the seam 18, the bottom 16 and the sides 15A and 15B is a filling portion 28 that can be filled with the dried herb 30.

  In the illustrated example, the seam 18 is formed in a range of 1/3 to 1/4 of the height from the apex 14 when the perpendicular drawn from the apex 14 to the base 16 is the height of the cloth bag. This is a position in consideration of the filling amount of the dry herb 30 stored in the filling part 28 and the ease of use as the grip part 32.

  As the herbs stored in the filling unit 28, for example, a plurality of herbs selected from lavender, rosemary, lemongrass, chamomile, rose, geranium, and rose are mixed and used, but only one kind is used. May be. Of course, other known various herbs may be used.

  The herb heating tool 10 as described above can be formed into a ball shape by winding the flat cords 24A and 24B with the seam 18 as a guide, as shown in FIG. With reference to FIG.2 and FIG.3, an example of the assembly procedure from a pad form to a ball | bowl form is demonstrated. First, as shown in FIG. 2 (A), the cloth bag 12 is erected to bring the dry herb 30 inside to the center.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2 (B), the seam 18 portion is gripped, and the end 22A to which one flat string 24A is attached is brought near the seam 18. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 2C, the end portion 22B to which the other flat cord 24B is attached is brought near the seam 18 and the flat cords 24A and 24B are crossed.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, the flat cords 24A and 24B are wound around the bottom of the seam 18 as a guide. Since the flat cords 24A and 24B are used, as shown in FIG. 3B, in the wound state, the grip portion 32 rises including the wound portion. Then, as shown in FIG. 3 (C), when the wound flat strings 24A and 24B are tied, as shown in FIG. 3 (D), the ball-shaped herb heating tool 10 is completed.

  Next, how to warm the herb heating tool 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The herb heating tool 10 is first heated in a pad form, whether it is used in a pad form or a ball form. As a method of warming, it is put in the microwave oven 80 as it is and heated for a predetermined time, or after being put in the plastic bag 82 and heated in a hot pot with a pot 84 for a predetermined time. Then, the pad-shaped herb heating tool 10 warmed by any method is rolled into a ball shape according to the procedure shown in FIGS.

  An example of usage in the case of a ball form is shown in FIG. The user 50 himself holds the herb heating tool 10 and presses the ball-shaped herb heating tool 10 against the shoulder 52 or the like. At this time, the user 50 can grip the herb heating tool 10 by using the portion around which the flat cords 24A and 24B are wound and the grip portion 32. The place to hit is not limited to the shoulder 52, but may be the waist, stomach, legs, or the like.

  In the case where the practitioner 70 is applied, for example, he / she is prone as shown in the figure, and the herb heating tool 10 is pressed against a predetermined place (for example, the back 54). At this time, the practitioner 70 can grasp the herb heating tool 10 by using the portion around which the flat cords 24A and 24B are wound and the grip portion 32. Moreover, you may make it massage not only by pressing but using the herb heating tool 10. FIG. Of course, the treatment may be performed in a supine state.

The user 50 may heat the herb heating tool 10 on the neck 56 with the flat cords 24 </ b> A and 24 </ b> B, or lie down and place the herb heating tool 10 on the waist 58. . Alternatively, the herb warming tool 10 may be wound around the arm 60 and fixed with the flat cords 24A and 24B. Of course, these locations are also examples and may be applied to other parts of the body.

  When used in any form, since it is used without getting wet, it can be used easily from above the clothing. Moreover, since it does not get wet, there is no problem related to storage like conventional herb balls, it can be stored for a long time at room temperature, and it can be used repeatedly at any time. In addition, the warming effect, the effect of unraveling the stiffness, and the healing effect due to the scent of the herbs are the same as those of the conventional herb balls and herb pads.

Thus, according to the first embodiment, there are the following effects.
(1) The herb heating tool 10 is composed of the cloth bag 12, the dried herb 30 filled therein, and the flat cords 24A and 24B provided at both ends of the bottom 16 of the cloth bag 12.

Moreover, since it can be used without getting wet, it can be used easily even from the top of clothing, and can be stored for a long time at room temperature while being repeatedly used.
(2) Since the cloth bag 12 has a substantially triangular shape, the apex 14 side can be used as a grip portion 32 when rounded, and the filling portion 28 becomes thinner toward the both ends of the base 16, so when rounding Easy to cross both ends.

(3) A seam 18 was provided in a position near the top 14 of the cloth bag 12 in parallel with the bottom 16, and a space 28 between the seam 18 and the bottom 16 was used as a filling portion 28 filled with the dried herb 30. For this reason, the said seam 18 can be used as a standard of the position which winds flat string 24A, 24B.
(4) When the height of the perpendicular line extending from the apex 14 to the base 16 is the height of the cloth bag 12, the seam 18 is positioned from the apex 14 to a height of 1/3 to 1/4 of the height. We decided to provide it. For this reason, it is easy to grasp the filling amount of the dry herb 30 and the grip portion 32 on the apex 14 side is easy to grip.

(5) Since the cloth bag 12 is formed by folding the square cloth into two at the opposite corners of the square cloth and sewing the periphery thereof, it is easy to manufacture.
(6) Since the flat belt-like flat cords 24A and 24B are used when rounded into a ball shape, the portions around which the flat cords 24A and 24B are wound are easily gripped during use.
(7) Both ends of the base 16 are cut perpendicularly to the base 16 and one end of the flat cords 24A and 24B is attached to the cut portion by sewing. By cutting off both ends in this way, excess fabric does not overlap when it is rolled up, and it is easy to roll up neatly. Further, the flat cords 24A and 24B can be attached together with the sewing of the cut portion.
