  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

  An outline of a conductor storage container (storage container) 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3 (a) and 3 (d). Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the electrode conductor 10. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the adhesive sheet 20. FIG. 3A is a perspective view of the conductor storage container 30 in an open state. FIG. 3D is a perspective view of the conductor storage container 30 in the closed state. The X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis indicate three different axes that are orthogonal to each other.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the electrode conductor 10 has a circular circular fixing member 11 having a circular center in a plan view, and a divergent shape in a direction away from the circular fixing member 11. A thin plate shape (electrode plate) in which a pair of divergent ring-shaped conductive members 12 that are point-symmetric with respect to the circular fixed member 11 is combined, and one surface is a conductive surface and the other surface is Insulating surface. The conductive surface is provided with a protruding terminal portion 13 which is a protruding connection terminal protruding from a thin plate shape, and this protruding terminal portion 13 is connected to an energization cord of an electric stimulator (not shown). Moreover, the adhesive sheet 20 which has the adhesive conductive surface 21 which made the hydrogel a base material on this conductive surface side is stuck. On the insulating surface side, an energization current (pulse signal of a predetermined frequency) from the protruding terminal portion 13 is energized to the affected area of the user via the adhesive sheet 20.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 20 is a thin soft sheet such as a substantially rectangular nonwoven fabric, and has a pressure-sensitive adhesive conductive surface 21 having a hydrogel as a base material on one side (see FIG. 2). The adhesive conductive surface 21 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape having an area smaller than that of the adhesive sheet 20, and a non-water-permeable film such as a plastic sheet is generally attached in an unused state. When the adhesive sheet 20 is attached to the electrode conductor 10 in the use state, the film is peeled off and adhered so as to face the conductive surface of the electrode conductor 10. In the present embodiment, the cooling sheet uses a hydrous gel as the adhesive, but other sheets may be used as long as they have a conductive adhesive surface.

  Further, the adhesive conductive surface 21 of the adhesive sheet 20 can contain various components such as various drugs or cosmetics, and further pigments and fragrances. For example, various components such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C component), l-menthol, methyl salicylate, and the like can be used as a drug or cosmetic component that contains the adhesive conductive surface 21.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, the conductor storage container 30 includes a first conductor storage part 31 (first storage container part) and a second conductor storage part 32 (second storage container part). Including. A pair of bearing portions 40 a are formed side by side in the X-axis direction on one end surface (outer surface) in the Y-axis direction of the first conductor housing portion 31. A rotating shaft portion 40b is rotatably supported on the bearing portion 40a. The rotating shaft portion 40b is fixed to an arm portion (not shown) formed on the outer surface of the second conductor housing portion 32. According to the above-described configuration, the second conductor housing portion 32 can be rotated around the rotation shaft portion 40 b with respect to the first conductor housing portion 31. The conductor housing container 30 is substantially sealed from the outside air in the closed state.

  A projecting claw engaging portion 41 is formed on the other end surface (outer surface) in the Y-axis direction of the first conductor housing portion 31. A rotation lock portion 42 bent at about 90 degrees is formed on the outer surface of the second conductor storage portion 32 opposite to the rotation shaft portion 40b. A claw portion (not shown) that can be engaged with the claw engagement portion 41 is formed on the inner end surface of the rotation lock portion 42 (the surface on the back side that is not visible in FIG. 3B). The rotation lock part 42 is configured to be rotatable around the X-axis direction. The rotation lock portion 42 is configured to engage the claw portion and the claw engagement portion 41 to lock the first conductor storage portion 31 and the second conductor storage portion 32 in a closed state, and the claw portion. And the unlocking position where the engagement of the claw engaging portion 41 is released.

  The first conductor housing portion 31 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape, and includes a bottom surface portion 31a and a side wall portion 31b formed so as to rise from the outer edge of the bottom surface portion 31a. The bottom surface portion 31a is rectangular when viewed in the Z-axis direction (however, the corners are formed by curved surfaces), and the bottom surface portion 31a accommodates a first adhesive sheet formed substantially along the outer edge of the bottom surface portion 31a. Ribs 391 (first mark portions) are formed. The first adhesive sheet storage rib portion 391 is rectangular in the Z-axis direction view and is set to be approximately the same as the size of the adhesive sheet 20.

  A first electrode fixing portion 34 for detachably fixing the electrode conductor 10 is formed at the approximate center of the bottom surface portion 31a. The first electrode fixing portion 34 includes a first arc rib portion 341 having an arc shape when viewed in the Z-axis direction, and a first minute protrusion 342 formed on the first arc rib portion 341. The first arc rib portion 341 is configured by arranging two first long arc rib portions 341a and two first short arc rib portions 341b at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction. . These first long circular arc rib portions 341a face each other in the Y-axis direction. These first short arc rib portions 341b face each other in the X-axis direction. The curvature radius of the 1st long circular arc rib part 341a and the 1st short circular arc rib part 341b is the same. The inner diameter of the first arc rib portion 341 is set slightly larger than the outer diameter of the circular fixing member 11. The dimension in the height direction (dimension in the Z-axis direction) of the first arc rib portion 341 is set larger than the dimension in the thickness direction of the circular fixing member 11. The circular fixing member 11 is accommodated in the region surrounded by the first arc rib portion 341.

  The first minute protrusions 342 are formed on the inner surfaces of the first long arc rib portions 341a, and face each other in the Y-axis direction. The distance between the two points connecting the first minute protrusions 342 is set to be shorter than the diameter of the circular fixing member 11. As a result, the circular fixing member 11 housed in the region surrounded by the first arc rib portion 341 can be fixed by contacting the first microprojection portion 342. Further, by arranging the first minute protrusions 342 so as to face each other in the Y-axis direction, the circular fixing member 11 can be pressed at both ends in the diameter direction. Thereby, the circular fixing member 11 can be more firmly fixed.

  A pair of first divergent ring-shaped storage portions 36 are formed on the bottom surface portion 31a. These first diverging ring-shaped storage portions 36 are formed on both sides in the X-axis direction with the first electrode fixing portion 34 interposed therebetween. The first divergent ring-shaped storage part 36 includes a first outer rib part 36a and a first short arc rib part that extend from the circumferential end of the first long arc rib part 341a toward the side wall part 31b. And a first inner rib portion 36b extending from the circumferential end of 341b toward the side wall portion 31b. The interval between the first outer rib portion 36 a and the first inner rib portion 36 b is set to be larger than the widthwise dimension of the divergent ring-shaped conductive member 12. The divergent ring-shaped conductive member 12 is accommodated in a region sandwiched between the first outer rib portion 36a and the first inner rib portion 36b. Therefore, among the electrode conductors 10 accommodated in the first conductor housing part 31, only the circular fixing member 11 is fixed, and the diverging ring-shaped conductive member 12 is not fixed.

  Next, the 2nd conductor accommodating part 32 is demonstrated. The second conductor storage portion 32 includes a second electrode fixing portion 44, a second arc rib portion 441, a second long arc rib portion 441a, a second short arc rib portion 441b, and a second microprojection portion. 442, a second divergent ring-shaped storage portion 46, a second outer rib portion 46a, a second inner rib portion 46b, and a second adhesive sheet storage rib portion 491. Since these configurations are the same as the corresponding components of the first conductor housing portion 31, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  However, it is preferable to form the first electrode fixing portion 34 and the second electrode fixing portion 44 so that the positions of the first electrode fixing portion 34 and the second electrode fixing portion 44 are different in the in-plane direction including the bottom surface portion 31a in the closed state of the conductor housing container 30. Thereby, in the closed state of the conductor storage container 30, the protruding terminal portions 13 of the electrode conductors 10 respectively stored in the first conductor storage portion 31 and the second conductor storage portion 32 interfere with each other. Can be prevented. In this embodiment, the formation positions of the first electrode fixing portion 34 and the second electrode fixing portion 44 are different in the container longitudinal direction (X-axis direction).

  According to the above-described configuration, the first conductor storage portion 31 and the second conductor storage portion 32 can be made closer to each other in the closed state of the conductor storage container 30. Thereby, the conductor storage container 30 can be reduced in size in the container height direction.

  According to the above-described configuration, the positive electrode conductor 10 and the negative electrode conductor 10 that are simultaneously used during electrical stimulation can be stored in a compact case. Thereby, the convenience of the user can be improved.

Next, the mounting method of the electrode conductor 10 and the adhesive sheet 20 and the storage method of the electrode conductor 10 with the adhesive sheet 20 attached will be described. Since the first and second conductor housing portions 31 and 32 have the same structure, the first conductor housing portion 31 will be mainly described. As shown to Fig.3 (a), in the initial state, the 1st and 2nd conductor accommodating parts 31 and 32 shall be in an open state.

  In step 1, the circular fixing member 11 of the electrode conductor 10 is positioned along the inner surface of the first arc rib portion 341. In the step 1, the circular fixing member 11 is only in contact with the upper end portion of the first minute protrusion 342, and is in a state before fixing.

  In step 2, the circular fixing member 11 is pushed with a finger toward the bottom surface portion 31a. As a result, the first microprojection portion 342 is slightly elastically deformed, and the circular fixing member 11 abuts against the side surface of the first microprojection portion 342 and is sandwiched between the first electrode fixing portions. 34 (FIG. 3B).

  In step 3, the adhesive sheet 20 from which the film has been peeled is positioned so as to be along the first adhesive sheet storage rib portion 391. In the stage of Step 3, the projecting terminal portion 13 is in contact with the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 20, and is not attached through (FIG. 3 (c)).

  In step 4, a current-carrying cord connecting member (not shown) is pushed in and attached from the adhesive sheet 20 toward the protruding terminal portion 13. During the pushing operation, the protruding terminal portion 13 penetrates the adhesive sheet 20.

  In step 5, the adhesive sheet 20 is penetrated and attached to the electrode conductor 10 accommodated in the second conductor accommodating portion 32 in the same procedure.

  In step 6, the electrode conductor 10 fixed to the first and second electrode fixing portions 34, 44 is removed and affixed to the user. Thereby, electrical stimulation can be given to a user.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, only the circular fixing member 11 is fixed to the first electrode fixing portion 34, and the diverging ring-shaped conductive member 12 is not fixed. Thereby, when the electrode conductor 10 is attached or detached, it is possible to prevent an excessive load from being applied to the divergent ring-shaped conductive member 12 having a mechanical strength lower than that of the circular fixing member 11.

  Only by positioning the adhesive sheet 20 along the first adhesive sheet storage rib portion 391, the protruding terminal portion 13 can be mounted through in substantially the center of the adhesive sheet 20. Thereby, a user's burden can be reduced.

  As illustrated in FIG. 3B, a groove portion similar to a trapezoid is formed in a region adjacent to the first arc rib portion 341, the first outer rib portion 36a, and the first inner rib portion 36b. Thereby, in the accommodation state of the adhesive sheet 20 shown in FIG.3 (c), the contact area with respect to the bottom face part 31a of the adhesive sheet 20 can be reduced. Thereby, the load by the adhesive force of the adhesive sheet 20 can be reduced when the electrode conductor 10 is removed in step 6.

  When the electrode conductor 10 is not used, the electrode conductor 10 having the adhesive sheet 20 penetrated through is fixed to the first electrode fixing portion 34, and as shown in FIG. Store in the closed state. Thereby, the fall of the adhesive force of the adhesive sheet 20 by adhesion and drying of a foreign material can be suppressed.

  Further, by closing the conductor storage container 30, the electrode conductor 10 having the protruding terminal portions 13 can be completely covered with the conductor storage container 30. Thereby, the injury by the contact with the said part and the damage of the electrode terminal 10 can be prevented.

  In the above-described embodiment, the first and second electrode fixing portions 34 and 44 are provided in the different conductor housing portions 31 and 32, respectively, but may be provided in one conductor housing portion. In this case, it is necessary to set the horizontal dimension of the conductor container 30 large.

  Furthermore, the circular fixing member 11 can be changed to another shape (for example, a rectangle). In this case, it is preferable to change the rib structure of the electrode fixing portions 34 and 44 to a shape along the other shape. Further, the divergent ring-shaped storage portions 36 and 46 can be appropriately changed according to the shape of the electrode conductor 10.

  The divergent ring-shaped storage portions 36 and 46 can be omitted. In this case, a groove portion is formed in the bottom surface portion 31a so that the ring-shaped conductive member 12 can be positioned in the same plane as the circular fixing member 11 buried and fixed in the electrode fixing portions 34 and 44. Just do it.

  In the above-described embodiment, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet storage rib portion 391 is used as a positioning mark, but other configurations can also be used. For example, a mark can be formed on the bottom surface portion 31a using a score line or marking.

  Although the present invention has been described in detail according to particular embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
