はじめに実施形態に係る耳装着具の概要について説明する。わが国は、現在男女ともに世界屈指の長寿国となっており、高齢人口の増加とともに美容改善に関するニーズが高まっている。本考案者は、装着具を装着することによって顔つきを改善する観点から、多くの実証実験を重ね、耳朶の顔側の付け根に頭頂側に向かう当接力を付与することにより顔つきを改善し得ることを見出した。具体的には、耳朶の付け根に上向の力を付与し続けることにより、例えば１０分から２０分程度で、頬の位置や目尻の位置が徐々に上昇し、顔の輪郭がシャープに見えるようになることを見出した。このような変化は多くの人にとって顔つきの改善につながる。 First, an outline of the ear wearing device according to the embodiment will be described. Japan is now one of the world's longest living countries for both men and women, and the need for improved beauty is increasing with the increase in the elderly population. From the viewpoint of improving the appearance by putting on the wearing equipment, the present inventors have repeated many demonstration experiments, and can improve the appearance by applying a contact force toward the top of the head of the earlobe toward the top of the face. Was found. Specifically, by continuously applying an upward force to the base of the earlobe, for example, in about 10 to 20 minutes, the position of the cheek and the corner of the eye gradually rises, so that the outline of the face looks sharp. I found out. Such a change leads to an improved appearance for many people.

この効果は、耳朶の付け根に当接力が付与されたことにより耳朶の周辺の皮膚や神経が刺激され、外側翼突筋など一部の筋肉が収縮することによって生じているものと考えられる。また、耳朶周辺には、いわゆるツボと称される経穴が散在しており、その経穴が刺激されることにより効果を生じている可能性も考えられる。 It is considered that this effect is caused by stimulation of the skin and nerves around the earlobe due to the application of the contact force to the base of the earlobe, and contraction of some muscles such as the outer pterygoid muscle. Around the earlobe, acupoints called so-called acupoints are scattered, and it is possible that the acupuncture points are stimulated to produce an effect.

また、耳装着具が自重で簡単に外れると、日常の活動に支障をきたす。このため装着具を耳介の上下から強く接触させることが考えられるが、この場合その接触部分が痛くなることがある。そこで本実施形態は、耳の後面で翳風の窪みに当接する翳風当接部と、耳朶の前面に当接する前面当接部とを有する。翳風当接部が翳風の窪みに嵌まることにより、耳装着具の落下を抑制できる。以下の説明において、本考案の例示的な構成を実施形態を例に示す。 Also, if the ear wearing device is easily removed by its own weight, it will interfere with daily activities. For this reason, it is conceivable that the wearing tool is strongly contacted from above and below the pinna, but in this case, the contact portion may be painful. Therefore, the present embodiment has a shade contact portion that contacts the recess of the shade on the rear surface of the ear, and a front contact portion that contacts the front surface of the earlobe. The gable abutment portion fits into the gable wind depression, so that the fall of the ear wearing device can be suppressed. In the following description, an exemplary configuration of the present invention will be described by taking an embodiment as an example.

The second connecting portion 18 connects the wind contact portion 16 and the earlobe engaging portion 20. The third connecting portion 22 connects the earlobe engaging portion 20 and the front contact portion 24. Hereinafter, each part will be described in detail.

（上部係合部）
上述したように、上部係合部１２は、耳介６６の上部の顔側の付け根６６ｂに係合するための部分である。上部係合部１２の形状は、付け根６６ｂに係合可能なものであれば特に限定されない。上部係合部１２は、様々な形状であってもよい。本実施形態の上部係合部１２は、曲折された線状の部材で金属材料で形成されている。図１では、上部係合部１２は、下向きに開いた大きなＵ字形状を有し、Ｕ字形状の底部が付け根６６ｂに係合している。上部係合部１２は、金属材料の他に樹脂材料や自然由来の材料（木や石など）で形成されてもよい。 (Upper engaging part)
As described above, the upper engaging portion 12 is a portion for engaging with the base 66b on the face side above the auricle 66. The shape of the upper engaging portion 12 is not particularly limited as long as it can be engaged with the base 66b. The upper engaging portion 12 may have various shapes. The upper engaging portion 12 of the present embodiment is a bent linear member made of a metal material. In FIG. 1, the upper engaging portion 12 has a large U-shape that opens downward, and the bottom of the U-shape is engaged with the base 66b. The upper engaging portion 12 may be formed of a resin material or a naturally-derived material (such as wood or stone) in addition to the metal material.

上部係合部１２の先端側が、耳や顔に当たると痛感を与える懸念がある。そこで、本実施形態では、上部係合部１２の先端側に、基端側につながる部分より膨らんだ膨らみ部１２ｇが設けられている。膨らみ部１２ｇの形状に限定はないが、本実施形態の膨らみ部１２ｇは楕円をその長軸周りに回転させて得られる回転楕円体形状（例えば、ラグビーボール形状）を呈する。膨らみ部１２ｇは、回転楕円体形状の他に球形状、折り曲げ形状を有してもよい。膨らみ部１２ｇを有することにより、上部係合部１２が付け根６６ｂから外れにくくなり、耳装着具１０の位置を安定化できる。膨らみ部１２ｇの基端側は上部係合部１２の先端側に接続される。図１の例では、膨らみ部１２ｇは、上部係合部１２と一体ｂに金属材料で形成されている。膨らみ部１２ｇは、金属材料の他に樹脂材料や自然由来の材料（木や石など）で形成されてもよい。膨らみ部１２ｇは、上部係合部１２と別途に形成されて接続されてもよい。 When the distal end side of the upper engaging portion 12 hits the ear or the face, there is a concern that it gives a feeling of pain. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a bulging portion 12g bulging from a portion connected to the base end side is provided on the distal end side of the upper engaging portion 12. The shape of the bulging portion 12g is not limited, but the bulging portion 12g of the present embodiment has a spheroidal shape (for example, a rugby ball shape) obtained by rotating an ellipse around its long axis. The bulging portion 12g may have a spherical shape or a bent shape in addition to the spheroidal shape. By having the bulging portion 12g, the upper engaging portion 12 is less likely to come off from the base 66b, and the position of the ear wearing device 10 can be stabilized. The base end of the bulging portion 12g is connected to the tip end of the upper engaging portion 12. In the example of FIG. 1, the bulging portion 12g is formed integrally with the upper engaging portion 12 from a metal material. The bulging portion 12g may be formed of a resin material or a naturally-derived material (such as wood or stone) in addition to the metal material. The bulging portion 12g may be separately formed and connected to the upper engaging portion 12.

（翳風当接部）
上述したように、翳風当接部１６は、耳の後面で翳風６４の窪みに当接するための部分である。なお、翳風６４は、耳朶６２の後面で乳様突起と下顎枝（かがくし）の間の窪み（陥凹部）である。翳風当接部１６の形状は、翳風６４の窪みに当接可能なものであれば特に限定されない。翳風当接部１６は、様々な形状であってもよい。本実施形態の翳風当接部１６は、曲折された線状の部材で金属材料で形成され、翳風６４の窪みに当接する曲折部１６ｂを有する。図２では、曲折部１６ｂは、斜め下向きに開いたΩ字形状を有しており、Ω字形状の頭部が翳風６４に当接するように構成されている。翳風当接部１６は、金属材料の他に樹脂材料や自然由来の材料で形成されてもよい。翳風当接部１６は、基端側につながる部分より膨らんだ膨らみ部を有してもよい。この膨らみ部は、曲折形状の他に球形状などでもよいし、翳風６４に当接する部分が凸曲面を有してもよい。 (Shadow contact section)
As described above, the wind contact portion 16 is a portion for contacting the depression of the wind 64 on the rear surface of the ear. The wind 64 is a dent (recess) between the mastoid and the mandibular ramus on the rear surface of the earlobe 62. The shape of the wind breeze contact portion 16 is not particularly limited as long as it can contact the depression of the wind breeze 64. The shade contact portion 16 may have various shapes. The wind contact portion 16 of the present embodiment is a bent linear member formed of a metal material, and has a bent portion 16b that comes into contact with the depression of the wind 64. In FIG. 2, the bent portion 16 b has an Ω shape that opens diagonally downward, and is configured such that the head of the Ω shape contacts the wind 64. The wind contact portion 16 may be formed of a resin material or a naturally-derived material other than the metal material. The shade contact portion 16 may have a bulging portion bulging from a portion connected to the base end side. The bulging portion may have a spherical shape or the like in addition to the bent shape, or may have a convex curved surface at a portion that contacts the wind 64.

上述したように、耳装着具が自重で簡単に外れると、日常活動中に簡単に外れるので、ユーザは外れないように注意していなければならず煩わしい。外れにくくするために、上下から耳介を強く押さえることが考えられるが、この場合、耳に圧迫感を与えるおそれがある。そこで、本実施形態の翳風当接部１６は、翳風６４に掛着する形状を有する。つまり、翳風当接部１６は、翳風６４の窪みに入り込んで、引っ掛かるように取り付けできる。この構成により、耳装着具１０は、日常活動中に外れる可能性を低くできる。 As described above, if the ear wearing device comes off easily due to its own weight, it comes off easily during daily activities, so the user must be careful not to come off and troublesome. In order to make it difficult for the ear to come off, it is conceivable to strongly press the auricle from above and below. Therefore, the gable abutment portion 16 of the present embodiment has a shape that hangs on the gable 64. In other words, the wind contact portion 16 can be attached so as to enter into the depression of the wind 64 and be hooked. With this configuration, the possibility that the ear wearing device 10 comes off during daily activities can be reduced.

翳風６４における金属アレルギーを抑制するため、翳風当接部１６の表面は金属アレルギーを生じ難い材料で形成されてもよい。このような金属として、チタン、サージカルステンレス、金、銀およびプラチナ等が挙げられる。翳風当接部１６の表面は、これらの中から選択される１以上の金属で形成されてもよい。 In order to suppress metal allergy in the wind 64, the surface of the wind contact portion 16 may be formed of a material that is unlikely to cause metal allergy. Such metals include titanium, surgical stainless steel, gold, silver, platinum and the like. The surface of the wind contact portion 16 may be formed of one or more metals selected from these.

第１接続部１４は、上部係合部１２と翳風当接部１６とを繋ぐために概ね上下に延びる線状の部分である。第２接続部１８は、翳風当接部１６と耳朶係合部２０とを繋ぐために、斜め下に延びる部分である。第３接続部２２は、耳朶係合部２０と前面当接部２４とを繋ぐために斜め上に延びる部分である。本実施形態の第１、第２、第３接続部１４、１８、２２は、所定形状に曲折された線状の部材で金属材料で形成されている。 (Connection part)
The first connection portion 14 is a linear portion extending substantially vertically to connect the upper engagement portion 12 and the wind contact portion 16. The second connecting portion 18 is a portion extending obliquely downward to connect the wind contact portion 16 and the earlobe engaging portion 20. The third connecting portion 22 is a portion extending obliquely upward to connect the earlobe engaging portion 20 and the front contact portion 24. The first, second, and third connection portions 14, 18, and 22 of the present embodiment are linear members bent into a predetermined shape and are formed of a metal material.

耳形状の個人差に対応するために、耳装着具１０はスプリング性を有することが望ましい。そこで、本実施形態では、第１接続部１４と、翳風当接部１６と、第２接続部１８と、耳朶係合部２０と、第３接続部２２とはスプリング性を有する線状の部材で一体に形成されている。それぞれの部分が柔軟性を備えるので、耳形状の個人差に対応できる。また、容易に装着可能な耳装着具１０を提供できる。 In order to cope with individual differences in the ear shape, it is desirable that the ear wearing device 10 has a spring property. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first connecting portion 14, the wind contact portion 16, the second connecting portion 18, the earlobe engaging portion 20, and the third connecting portion 22 are formed of linear springs. It is formed integrally with the member. Since each part has flexibility, it is possible to cope with individual differences in ear shapes. Further, the ear wearing device 10 that can be easily worn can be provided.

第１、第２、第３接続部１４、１８、２２が伸縮性や可撓性を全く有しない場合、長時間使用したときに耳６０が痛くなる可能性がある。このため、第１、第２、第３接続部１４、１８、２２は、伸縮性または可撓性を有する柔軟な素材で形成してもよい。第１、第２、第３接続部１４、１８、２２は、サージカルステンレスの一種であるＳＵＳ３１６Ｌで形成される。第１、第２、第３接続部１４、１８、２２は、表面に樹脂層を有してもよいし、表面に樹脂製のチューブを被せてもよい。 If the first, second, and third connection portions 14, 18, and 22 have no elasticity or flexibility at all, the ear 60 may be hurt when used for a long time. Therefore, the first, second, and third connection portions 14, 18, 22 may be formed of a flexible material having elasticity or flexibility. The first, second, and third connection portions 14, 18, and 22 are formed of SUS316L, which is a type of surgical stainless steel. The first, second, and third connection portions 14, 18, and 22 may have a resin layer on the surface, or may cover a resin tube on the surface.

耳装着具は、脱落し難いことが望ましい。そこで、本実施形態では、図１に示すように、装着状態で正面からみたとき、翳風当接部１６の当接領域と前面当接部２４の当接領域とは少なくとも一部で重複するように構成されている。翳風当接部１６と前面当接部２４の重複領域で耳朶６２を挟むことにより、脱落防止を図れる。 It is desirable that the earwear is hard to fall off. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, when viewed from the front in the mounted state, the contact area of the wind contact section 16 and the contact area of the front contact section 24 at least partially overlap. It is configured as follows. By sandwiching the earlobe 62 in the overlapping region of the wind contact portion 16 and the front contact portion 24, the falling off can be prevented.

耳装着具は、装着時に圧迫感が小さいことが望ましい。そこで、本実施形態では、図１に示すように、装着状態で正面からみたとき、耳朶６２を捻るように、翳風当接部１６の当接領域の中心は前面当接部２４の当接領域の中心からオフセットするように構成されている。この構成により互いの当接力の方向をズレさせることが可能になり、荷重の集中を緩和して装着時の圧迫感が小さくなる。また、耳朶６２が捻られることにより、耳朶６２が翳風当接部１６または前面当接部２４に接触する面積が大きくなるため、摩擦力が増えて脱落防止に一層有利になる。オフセット方向に制限はないが、図１の例では、翳風当接部１６の当接領域の中心は前面当接部２４の当接領域の中心から、上方で顔から離れる方向にオフセットしている。 It is desirable that the ear wearing device has a small feeling of pressure when worn. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, when viewed from the front in the mounted state, the center of the contact area of the wind contact section 16 is in contact with the front contact section 24 so that the earlobe 62 is twisted. It is configured to be offset from the center of the area. With this configuration, the directions of the contact forces can be shifted from each other, so that the concentration of the load is reduced, and the feeling of oppression at the time of mounting is reduced. In addition, since the area where the earlobe 62 contacts the wind contact portion 16 or the front contact portion 24 is increased by twisting the earlobe 62, the frictional force is increased, which is more advantageous for preventing falling off. Although there is no limitation on the offset direction, in the example of FIG. 1, the center of the contact area of the wind contact section 16 is offset from the center of the contact area of the front contact section 24 in a direction upward away from the face. I have.

次に、このように構成された本実施形態の耳装着具１０の使用結果を説明する。図７は、耳装着具１０を耳６０に装着した状態の顔つきの変化の一例を示す模式図である。図７では、比較のため左耳に耳装着具１０を装着し、右耳には何も装着していない状態を示している。この図では、耳装着具１０を装着してから２０分経過後の時点の顔つきを示している。図７の符号Ｄ、Ｅ、Ｆに示すように、左耳に耳装着具１０を装着したことにより、左目尻７６ｂが右目尻７６ｃより上方に位置し、左頬７６ｄが右頬７６ｅより上方に位置し、左口角７６ｆが右口角７６ｇより上方に位置している。両耳それぞれに耳装着具１０を装着した場合には、両方の目尻、頬、口角が上昇する効果を生じた。このような効果は、耳装着具１０を装着している間は連続して保持され、耳装着具１０を耳から外すことにより徐々に消えて装着前の状態に戻った。 Next, the results of using the ear wearing device 10 of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a change in the appearance when the earwear 10 is worn on the ear 60. FIG. 7 shows a state in which the ear wearing device 10 is attached to the left ear and nothing is attached to the right ear for comparison. In this figure, the face is shown at the point of time 20 minutes after the wearing of the earwear 10. As shown by reference signs D, E, and F in FIG. 7, by attaching the ear fitting 10 to the left ear, the left eye corner 76b is located above the right eye corner 76c, and the left cheek 76d is located above the right cheek 76e. The left corner 76f is located above the right corner 76g. When the ear wearing device 10 was attached to each of both ears, the effect of raising both the outer corner of the eyes, the cheeks, and the corner of the mouth occurred. Such an effect was continuously maintained while the ear wearing device 10 was being worn, and gradually disappeared when the ear wearing device 10 was removed from the ear, and returned to the state before the wearing.

次に、本実施形態の耳装着具１０の特徴を説明する。本実施形態の耳装着具１０は、耳朶６２の付け根６２ｂに当接力を付与するための耳装着具であって、耳介６６の上部の顔側の付け根６６ｂに係合する上部係合部１２と、耳６０の後面で翳風６４の窪みに当接する翳風当接部１６と、耳朶６２の顔側の付け根６２ｂに係合する耳朶係合部２０と、耳６０の前面に当接する前面当接部２４と、上部係合部１２と翳風当接部１６とを繋ぐ第１接続部１４と、翳風当接部１６と耳朶係合部２０とを繋ぐ第２接続部１８と、耳朶係合部２０と前面当接部２４とを繋ぐ第３接続部２２と、を備える。 Next, features of the ear wearing device 10 of the present embodiment will be described. The ear mounting device 10 of the present embodiment is an ear mounting device for applying a contact force to the base 62b of the earlobe 62, and includes an upper engaging portion 12 that engages with the base 66b on the face above the auricle 66. And a shade contact portion 16 that contacts the depression of the shade 64 on the rear surface of the ear 60, an earlobe engaging portion 20 that engages the base 62 b on the face side of the earlobe 62, and a front surface that contacts the front surface of the ear 60. A contact portion 24, a first connection portion 14 connecting the upper engagement portion 12 and the wind contact portion 16, a second connection portion 18 connecting the wind contact portion 16 and the earlobe engagement portion 20, A third connecting portion 22 that connects the earlobe engaging portion 20 and the front contact portion 24;

この形態によれば、耳朶６２の付け根に当接力を付与することができる。耳朶６２の付け根に当接力を付与することにより、使用者の顔つきの変化が期待できる。特に、耳装着具１０を装着しない場合に比べて、目尻、頬、口角などの顔のパーツのいずれかの位置がアップするいわゆるフェースアップ効果が期待できる。また、翳風当接部１６を有することにより、耳装着具１０が外れにくくなる。 According to this embodiment, a contact force can be applied to the base of the earlobe 62. By applying a contact force to the base of the earlobe 62, a change in the user's face can be expected. In particular, a so-called face-up effect can be expected in which the position of any part of the face, such as the outer corner of the eyes, the cheeks, and the corners of the mouth, is increased as compared with the case where the earwear 10 is not worn. Further, the provision of the shade contact portion 16 makes it difficult for the ear wearing device 10 to come off.

本実施形態では、翳風当接部１６は、翳風６４に掛着する形状を有する。この場合、翳風当接部１６が翳風６４の窪みに入り込んで引っ掛かるように取り付けできる。このため、耳装着具１０は、日常活動中に外れる可能性を低くできる。 In the present embodiment, the wind contact section 16 has a shape that hangs on the wind 64. In this case, it can be attached so that the wind contact portion 16 enters into the depression of the wind 64 and is caught. For this reason, the possibility that the ear wearing device 10 comes off during daily activities can be reduced.

本実施形態では、装着状態で正面からみたとき、翳風当接部１６の当接領域と前面当接部２４の当接領域とは少なくとも一部で重複している。翳風当接部１６と前面当接部２４の重複領域が耳朶６２を挟むことにより、脱落防止を図れる。 In the present embodiment, when viewed from the front in the mounted state, the contact region of the wind contact portion 16 and the contact region of the front contact portion 24 at least partially overlap. Since the overlapping area of the wind contact portion 16 and the front contact portion 24 sandwiches the earlobe 62, it can be prevented from falling off.

本実施形態では、装着状態で正面からみたとき、耳朶６２を捻るように、翳風当接部１６の当接領域の中心は前面当接部２４の当接領域の中心からオフセットしている。この構成により、互いの当接力の方向をズレさせて荷重の集中を緩和できる。また、耳朶６２が捻られるので、翳風当接部１６または前面当接部２４の耳朶６２への接触面積が増えるので、脱落防止に有利になる。 In the present embodiment, the center of the contact region of the wind contact portion 16 is offset from the center of the contact region of the front contact portion 24 so as to twist the earlobe 62 when viewed from the front in the mounted state. With this configuration, the directions of the contact forces are shifted from each other, and the concentration of the load can be reduced. Further, since the earlobe 62 is twisted, the contact area of the wind contact portion 16 or the front contact portion 24 with the earlobe 62 increases, which is advantageous in preventing falling off.

本実施形態では、翳風当接部１６は、曲折された線状の部材で形成され、翳風６４の窪みに当接する曲折部１６ｂを有する。この場合、翳風６４との接触面積を増やし、荷重の集中を緩和し、装着時の違和感を低減できる。 In the present embodiment, the wind contact portion 16 is formed of a bent linear member, and has a bent portion 16 b that comes into contact with the depression of the wind 64. In this case, the contact area with the wind 64 can be increased, the concentration of the load can be reduced, and the uncomfortable feeling at the time of mounting can be reduced.

本実施形態では、第１接続部１４と、翳風当接部１６と、第２接続部１８と、耳朶係合部２０と、第３接続部２２と、はスプリング性を有する線状の部材で一体に形成されている。この場合、それぞれの部分が柔軟性を備えるので、耳形状の個人差に対応できる。 In the present embodiment, the first connecting part 14, the wind contact part 16, the second connecting part 18, the earlobe engaging part 20, and the third connecting part 22 are linear members having a spring property. And are formed integrally. In this case, since each part has flexibility, it is possible to cope with individual differences in ear shapes.

本実施形態では、翳風当接部１６の表面は、チタン、サージカルステンレス、金、銀およびプラチナの中から選択される１以上の金属で形成されている。この場合、翳風６４における金属アレルギーを抑制できる。 In the present embodiment, the surface of the wind contact portion 16 is formed of one or more metals selected from titanium, surgical stainless steel, gold, silver, and platinum. In this case, metal allergy in the wind 64 can be suppressed.
