Description

  The present invention relates to a ring-shaped accessory such as a bracelet, a necklace, an anklet, a rosary or a watch band.

  Conventionally, various ring-shaped accessories such as bracelets, necklaces, anklets, rosaries and watch bands have been used and proposed for decoration and health and beauty purposes. The jewels of such accessories are said to contain a magnetic material, a negative ion generator, or a far infrared radiation material. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a material using silicon carbide, silicon nitride, titanium nitride, obsidian, or the like as a far-infrared emitting material.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No.7-19-1919

  However, carbon materials are known as far-infrared emitting materials, and the inventor of the present application is light in carbon materials and high in safety to the human body because it is the same as the constituent material of organic matter forming the human body. Focusing on the fact that it is suitable for ring-shaped accessories from the above point, as a result of earnest research, the inventors have come up with an accessory described in detail below.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the reason which concerns, The objective is to use the carbon material as a far-infrared radiation | emission substance, and to provide the accessory provided with the high characteristic as a ring-shaped accessory.

  In order to achieve the above object, the jewelry according to claim 1 is a ring-shaped jewelry formed by connecting a plurality of beads, and at least one of the beads is a carbon-fired crystal structure processed into the shape of the beads. Body and coated.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a ring-shaped carbon material accessory that is lightweight, highly safe, hardly worn or damaged, and emits a large amount of far infrared rays.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a jewelry 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This accessory 1 has a ring shape formed by connecting a plurality of beads 2, 2,. That is, each pearl 2 is provided with a through hole (not shown) through which a string (not shown) is passed, and the ends of the laces that pass through the through holes of all the beads 2, 2,. Ring.

  The pearl 2 is a carbon fired body having a high density and a crystal structure (the whole is integrated). This carbon fired body can be manufactured as follows. That is, about 5% by weight of a binder such as a phenol-based adhesive, pitch, or tar is added to a carbon powder of a carbide such as graphite or bamboo charcoal, and is hardened and pressure-molded into a predetermined lump (for example, a rectangular shape). And it heats in the state which oxygen deficient, and bakes at about 2000-3000 degreeC. In this state, the raw carbon powders are bonded and crystallized (graphitized). In addition, the phenol component, pitch, or tar is volatilized at about 1200 ° C. during the temperature increase. Thereafter, the heating is stopped and the pearl 2 is processed. Since the binder is volatilized in this carbon fired body, almost 100% (99% or more) is a carbon material.

  Since the pearl 2 is a carbon material, it is extremely light and is the same as the constituent material of the organic matter that forms the human body, and therefore has high safety to the human body. In addition, since the carbon fired body having a crystal structure has a crystal structure, it is hard to be worn or damaged even though it is a carbon material. The bead 2 is used in a state where it contacts and rubs against the adjacent bead 2, and may accidentally collide with something by dropping or the like, but has sufficient physical strength against them. Further, since the pearl 2 is almost 100% carbon material, it emits a large amount of far-infrared rays by the energy absorbed in the form of external heat or light, and acts on the subcutaneous tissue, blood vessels, etc. of the person wearing the accessory 1. It improves blood flow and contributes to health promotion. In addition, it has been confirmed by the present inventor that the carbon material has an effect of increasing the α wave of the brain, and the health promotion effect can be expected accordingly.

  Table 1 below shows the experimental results of wearing the accessory 1 as a necklace and measuring the neck temperature and necklace temperature by thermography. After wearing the necklace, the neck gradually rises in temperature, while the necklace rises at a temperature about 1 ° C. higher than the neck temperature. This is probably because the necklace improved the blood flow by the necklace, and the necklace temperature rose. Moreover, since the amount of far infrared rays radiated increases as the temperature of the necklace rises, it is considered that a synergistic effect is produced.

  It is desirable to coat the surface of the pearl 2 with water-based acrylic or the like in order to prevent fine wear and loss. The pearl 2 is black and has sufficient decorative properties even if it is as it is, but it can be glossy or colored by coating. In addition, the method of coating with a DLC (diamond-like carbon) thin film is fine because the DLC thin film formed by implanting plasma carbon ions and the carbon fired body have good adhesion, and the DLC thin film is extremely hard. It is highly desirable in terms of preventing wear and breakage.

  In addition, although the shape of the pearl 2 is a spherical shape, a disk shape, a meteorite shape, or a spindle shape, for example, it is not limited. The size of the pearl 2 and the number used for the accessory 1 are arbitrarily determined according to taste or usage (bracelet, necklace, anklet, rosary, watch band, etc.). For example, the size of the pearl 2 is 6 mm, 10 mm, or the like. Moreover, you may form the jewelry 1 with the pearls 2, 2, ... from which a magnitude | size differs.

  The carbon fired body of the pearl 2 can also be made porous. The porous carbon fired body has many voids (porous), although not as much as the carbide itself. Specifically, when a binder is added to the carbon powder of the raw material and hardened, it can be made into a porous shape by making it into a fibrous form or an aggregated form of particles.

  The porous carbon fired body can adsorb (deodorize) sweat itself, sweat odor, etc., and makes the accessory 1 comfortable to wear. The porous carbon fired body has a slightly lower physical strength than the non-porous carbon fired body. However, the above-mentioned physical strength to be possessed as the pearl 2 is sufficient.

  The porous carbon fired body preferably contains silver (for example, about 1% by weight). It is known that the smell of human sweat is mainly caused by germs decomposing sweat. Silver can suppress the generation of odors from the adsorbed sweat while suppressing bacteria due to its antibacterial action. In addition, silver on the surface of the carbon fired body also has an effect of directly exerting an antibacterial action against bacteria on the skin. Silver can be included in the carbon fired body by dissolving or dispersing in a solution and impregnating it.

  The porous carbon fired body preferably contains phthalocyanine (for example, about 1% by weight). Phthalocyanine exhibits a deodorizing action by catalyzing the oxidation reaction of odor components. Since the carbon fired body contains phthalocyanine, the odorous component adsorbed in the voids can be changed to another substance, so that the deodorizing action is prevented from being saturated and the deodorizing action can be exhibited. This phthalocyanine reacts well even at room temperature and has a long life because it performs a cycle reaction. Thereby, a deodorizing function can be maintained for a long period. In addition, phthalocyanine exists, for example as compounds, such as metal phthalocyanine polycarboxylic acid (specifically tetracarboxylic-acid cobalt phthalocyanine, tetracarboxylic-acid iron phthalocyanine, octacarboxylic-acid cobalt phthalocyanine, or octacarboxylic-acid iron phthalocyanine etc.). The phthalocyanine compound can be dissolved or dispersed in a solution and impregnated to be included in the carbon fired body.

  It is also possible to make some of the beads 2, 2,... Forming the accessory 1 into a porous carbon fired body and the rest as a non-porous carbon fired body. In addition, it is desirable that all of the beads 2, 2,... That form the accessory 1 are carbon fired bodies, but some of them may be other materials (for example, platinum).

  Moreover, a protrusion can be provided in some or all of the beads 2, 2, ... forming the accessory 1. Since this protrusion is integrally formed as a carbon fired body having a crystal structure, it is difficult to break. 2 and 3 show two examples of the beads 2A and 2B, wherein (a) is an enlarged schematic plan view and (b) is an enlarged schematic side view. The bead 2A or 2B is incorporated into the accessory 1 so as to abut against a part of the human body to be stimulated by the protrusion.

  The bead 2A has a spherical shape, has a through hole 3A, and has a plurality of protrusions 4A, 4A,. Even if the pearl 2A rotates around the string passing through the through hole 3A, any one of the protrusions 4A, 4A,... Contacts the human skin, and stimulates the subcutaneous tissue to provide blood flow. Further improvements can be made. In addition, since the contact area with the human skin is small, sweat is unlikely to accumulate in summer, and the possibility of discomfort due to wearing can be reduced. The bead 2A can be appropriately modified and applied to a spindle or other rotating body.

  The pearl 2B has a circular disk shape in plan view, has a through hole 3B penetrating the side surface, and has a protrusion 4B on one of the bottom surfaces. If the bead 2B has the bottom surface with one protrusion 4B on the human body side, the protrusion 4B contacts the skin of the human body and can stimulate the subcutaneous tissue to further improve blood flow. In addition, since the contact area with the human skin is small, sweat is unlikely to accumulate in summer, and the possibility of discomfort due to wearing can be reduced. Further, when the stimulation by the protrusion 4B is not desired, the bottom surface without the other protrusion 4B can be on the human body side. The pearl 2B can be applied with appropriate deformation to a meteorite shape or other substantially flat plate shape.

  As described above, the accessory according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described, but the present invention is not limited to that described in the embodiment, and various design changes can be made within the scope of the matters described in the claims. It is. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of beads are formed into a square plate shape, a carbon fired beads 2C are arranged in the center, and other materials (for example, stainless steel) beads 2C ′ and 2C across the row. By arranging a plurality of beads 2C, 2C,... And beads 2C ', 2C', ... through screws (not shown) in each through hole 3C. A watch band can also be constructed.

It is a schematic plan view of the accessory which concerns on embodiment of this invention. The modification of the bead which comprises the same accessory as above is shown, Comprising: (a) is an enlarged schematic plan view, (b) is an enlarged schematic side view. The other modification of the bead which comprises the same accessory is shown, Comprising: (a) is an expansion schematic plan view, (b) is an expansion schematic side view.
