[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a health device that supports a body by lying down along the curve of the back when the body is supine and mechanically swings both ankles horizontally.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, there is JP-A-8-117359 as a health appliance of this type. This is a suspension of the head, buttocks, and feet, and in use, after putting the buttocks, head, and feet on these feet, for example, placing them on the feet. If you consciously shake your feet horizontally, the butt rests on the hips will move in the opposite direction to the foot rests and the head rests on your head. It can be swung without using an electric motor in the opposite direction to the “bottom part”.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above is that when the foot is shaken horizontally, ideally each movement of the head, buttocks, and feet is repeatedly swung in an S-shape or an inverted S-shape. In order to obtain such an ideal movement, it was important to take good timing when swinging the foot horizontally, but it was very difficult to move.
[0004]
In order to eliminate this difficulty, the inventor of the above-mentioned health appliance has a relatively reverse movement between the “foot rest” and the “butt rest” and the “butt rest” and the “head rest”. This suggests that it is possible to connect using a “pulley and rope” in order to be able to do it positively. Forcibly moving the buttocks and legs in the other direction was not preferable because it forced the body to be forced.
[0005]
Furthermore, in the above-mentioned health appliance, the head, buttocks and foot rests are supported by the three parts of the head, buttocks and feet, respectively. The whole back, the back side of the thigh and shin between the buttocks and legs floats in the air and is uneasy when it is not stably supported, and on the back side of the body and the back side of the thigh and shin The massage effect of the acupoints to concentrate (including relaxing muscle stiffness) was not obtained at all.
[0006]
The present invention intends to solve the above-mentioned various problems at once, and its purpose is to be applied to the back side of the back, thighs, and shins due to lying down along the dorsal curve of the supine body. An object of the present invention is to provide a health device having a massage effect of concentrated points and a whole body massage function capable of correcting the distortion of the spine without difficulty by shaking the body in an S shape or an inverted S shape in a natural state.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the health device according to the present invention has a rubber hose placed in a parallel frame at small intervals so that when the body is supine, it hits along the curve on the back to the shoulder blades, buttocks and calves. A bed made of hardwood, which is bound in a U-shape and bound to the lower surface of the U part, is placed at the same level along the length of the body, and both ankles protruding from the bed It is equipped with a driver that supports and swings horizontally in a direction perpendicular to the body's height direction. It is linked to the acupuncture point by a rubber hose supported by a recumbency that hits the back of the body and the driver. Thus, it is configured such that S-shaped or inverted S-shaped alternating repetitive movements that are naturally performed can be obtained.
[0008]
Moreover, the health device according to the invention of claim 2 is characterized in that the rubber hose is a rubber hose that is widely used for watering households , and the elastic elasticity of the rubber hose and the preferred acupoint push combined with the hard material It was configured to be obtained.
[0009]
Moreover, health appliances according to the invention of claim 3, wherein the driver is characterized in that at least on-off and rocking speed is intended to be adjusted by hand switch, supine in bed alone, their According to the preferred timing, the driver can be operated remotely.
[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a representative example of the health appliance of the present application, FIG. 2 is a sectional front view schematically showing the use state, FIG. 3 is a plan view schematically showing the use state, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing a lying heel and a bullet supporting the same, and FIG. 5 is a local sectional view showing a contact relationship between the lying heel and the body.
[0011]
In FIG. 1, 1 indicates the present health appliance. The health device 1 of the present application includes a bed 2 and a driver 3 that supports both ankles protruding from the bed 2 and horizontally swings in a direction perpendicular to the body height direction.
[0012]
2 and 3, the bed 2 moves up and down independently along the dorsal curve when the body A is lying on its back (suppose) (scapula which appears as a bulge on the dorsal side of the body). The horizontal ribs 5 supported by the elastic body 4 are arranged at the same level in the height direction of the body A with a small interval 6 so that the portion corresponding to the portion a, the heel portion b, the calf portion c, etc. sinks deeply). . Although the specific numerical value of the small interval 6 can be determined freely, it is preferable to arrange it as finely as possible (for example, an interval of around 5 cm).
[0013]
The elastic body 4 can be used as long as it has elasticity such as a rubber string, a coil spring or the like, but in the embodiment, the elasticity of “a rubber hose widely used for home watering” is used. That is, a rubber hose cut to an appropriate length is formed in a U-shape, and both ends 4 'and 4' are looped to form parallel frames 7 and 7 of the same height on the left and right (not necessarily the same height). It is preferable to wind and fix the neck of the loop by using a binding tool 8 such as a strong string or a ring-shaped metal fitting. Of course, if there is a method of fixing the both ends of the rubber hose to the parallel frames 7 and 7 by a method other than this, it is also free to do so.
[0014]
As shown in FIG. 4, a hard material 9 made of wood, hard plastic, or the like is applied to the lower surface of the U portion (bottom) 4 ″ of the rubber hose, and the horizontal bar 5 is placed on both sides of the U portion 4 ″ of the rubber hose. The hard material 9 may be fastened and fixed using a binding tool 8 'such as a strong string or a ring-shaped metal fitting. As shown in FIG. 5, the horizontal gutter 5 having such a shape has a rubber hose U portion 4 ″ hitting the back side of the body, and its elasticity is regulated by the hardness of the hard material 9. This is because it functions effectively to effectively stimulate the acupoint on the back side.
[0015]
The driver 3 includes an ankle receiving portion 3a and a driving portion 3b. This can be satisfied by using a commercially available goldfish exercise apparatus as it is. The ankle receiving portion 3a of the driver 3 is provided with two recesses for receiving both ankles protruding from the bed 2 when the body A is supine on the bed 2. Further, the driving section 3b of the driver 3 can be turned on / off at least by the hand switch 10 and the swing speed (90 to 150 times / min) of the horizontal swing can be adjusted. In the case of the driver 3 used now, the swinging width of the ankle receiving portion 3a is constant at 3.5 cm, but may be adjustable. This hand switch 10 is effective not only when the patient himself / herself lies on the bed and remotely controls the driver according to his / her preferred timing, but also when the patient and the operator are different persons. It is.
[0016]
Next, the operation will be described. First, lie on the bed 2 of the health device 1 of the present application. In this case, it approaches the end of the bed 2 from the side on which the driver 3 of the health device 1 of the present application is installed and faces backward, and sits down on the end of the bed 2 (dashed line in FIG. 2). Next, sleep slowly while shifting back (solid line in FIG. 2). At this time, the pillow 11 may be used as shown in FIG. 2, or a towel (not shown) may be laid on the bed 2 in advance.
[0017]
The recumbent limb 5 supported (arranged) by the bullet 4 at the same level as the body A is supine sunk as a whole, and therefore deformed as shown in FIG. Hit almost evenly along the back curve). That is, the scapula part a, the heel part b, and the calf part c that appear as bulges (convex parts) on the back side of the body A will sink deeply correspondingly.
[0018]
Thereafter, both ankles are placed on the ankle receiving portion 3a of the driver 3. Thereby, the preparation for use of the present health appliance 1 is completed. Next, the hand switch 10 is operated to actuate the prime mover 3b of the driver 3. Thus, only the two ankles “horizontally swing” at the initial stage of driving of the driver 3, but the horizontal swinging motion constitutes the bed 2 on which the waist, scapula, and head of the body rest. It will gradually spread to each side 5 that is.
[0019]
As a result, the body A lying on the recumbent limb 5 is swung alternately and repeatedly in an S-shape (dashed line in FIG. 5) or an inverted S-shape (dashed line in FIG. 3) with the back muscles in a natural state. It will be. Therefore, when there is distortion in the spine (spine), the distortion of the spine (spine) can be corrected without difficulty, and the body acupuncture points 5 are effectively stimulated (including loosening the muscle stiffness). ) And exert full body massage function.
[0020]
In the description of the above embodiment, the bullet 4 supporting the horizontal rod 5 uses a rubber hose attached to the left and right parallel frames 7, 7. However, the bullet 4 is a coil spring or leaf spring raised from the floor. Of course, the horizontal bar 5 may be pushed up and supported.
[0021]
Further, in the above embodiment, the horizontal bar 5 can effectively stimulate the acupuncture points on the back side of the body by the synergistic effect of the elasticity of the rubber hose and the hardness of the hard material 9, but a simple metal or plastic round A bar, a bar having a cross-sectional shape, a bar having a polygonal cross section, and a bar covered with a rubber film may be used. In some cases, rubber buttons are arranged at regular intervals in the length direction on the upper surface of the hard material 9. Needless to say, it may be configured, or the upper surface of the hard material 9 may be provided with a rubber-like rib protrusion continuous in the length direction, or the like.
[0022]
【Example】
Now, the parallel frames 7 and 7 are made of wood, assembled in a height of 80 cm, a width of 64 cm, and a length of 240 cm, and a rubber hose previously cut into 180 cm is bent into a U-shape on the parallel frames 7 and 7, and both ends 4 ' 4 'is wound and tied with a strong string, hardwood 9 made of wood is applied to the lower surface of the U part of the rubber hose, and both sides of the U part are tied to the hardwood 9 with a strong string 35 are arranged on the same level at small intervals (5 cm intervals) to form a bed 2, and the health appliance 1 of the present application is completed by placing a driver 3 commercially available as a so-called goldfish exercise device at the end of the bed 2. .
[0023]
Next, the health appliance 1 of the present application is sent to a total of eight neighbors (two men in their 50s, two women, two men in their 60s, and two women) who visited the applicant's clinic. I laid on my bed 2 and treated both ankles with the driver 3 by swinging with an amplitude of 3.5 cm and a swinging speed of 110 times / minute for 15 minutes. The following good results were obtained.
[0024]
・ Acute back pain was removed.
・ I felt tired all day.
・ Back pain improved.
・ Heartburn improved.
・ I feel relaxed and sleepy.
[0025]
From the above, the health device of the present application under the above conditions relieves muscle stiffness throughout the body, restores spine distortion, removes back and back pain, promotes circulation of tissue fluid, lymph fluid and blood, recovers fatigue, and acupressure effects Was confirmed to be high.
