  The sensate-containing massage agent having specific physical properties used in the present invention contains a sensate, has a viscosity at 25 ° C. (viscosity before dilution) of 500 to 300,000 mPa · s, and doubles with water (mass basis) 2), the viscosity at 25 ° C. is 50 to 15000 mPa · s, which will be described in detail later.

The body massage tool 10 shown in FIG. 1 is used by being worn on the hand as shown in FIG. 1. For example, a massage agent attached to a massage target site such as a shoulder or a neck can be applied to the massage target site with a scissors, By rubbing and rubbing, it has a function to massage the body while spreading the massage agent smoothly along the skin of the body.
As shown in FIG. 1, the body massager 10 is used by attaching the palm to one hand 11 a of a plate-like substrate 11 having an opening 14 along the hand.
As a method of attaching the massage agent to the massage target part, a method of taking the massage agent once in the palm and attaching it to the massage target part with the palm without attaching a body massage tool to the hand is preferable. In this case, the massage agent adhered to the massage target site is spread while being massaged by a body massager attached to the hand that has taken the massage agent or the opposite hand. For example, the massage agent is preferably stored in a container or the like provided with a manual discharge mechanism and discharged to the palm or the like. The method of applying the massage agent to the massage target part is not limited to the above method, and the massage agent discharged from the container or the like may be directly attached to the massage target part, or the massage agent is taken in the palm of the palm. After the body massage tool 10 is mounted so that the substrate 11 is placed on the body 11, the massage agent may be transferred to the massage target site through the opening 14.

According to the body massage kit or body massage system of this embodiment including the body massage tool 10 and the sensory agent-containing massage agent shown in FIG. 1, the viscosity at 25 ° C. before dilution of the sensory agent-containing massage agent is 500 to 300,000 mPa · s and moderate viscosity, so it can be taken on the palm without dripping, and a massage agent containing massage agent is attached to the massage target site such as the shoulder or neck, and the body massage tool 10 is used for the massage target site. In addition, it is possible to apply it to the massage target part and the palm without any unevenness by applying, rubbing, or rubbing, so that irritation due to uneven adhesion is also prevented.
Furthermore, the sensate-containing massage agent has a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s when diluted twice with water, so it is diluted with wet skin water and massaged with the body massager 10. Thus, the massage agent spreads well from the opening of the body massager to the palm, and massage can be performed while feeling the coolness and warmth due to the sensate component with the palm. As a result, body massage can be performed while smoothly spreading a sensate-containing massage agent containing a sensate component such as a cooling sensation agent or a warm sensation agent along the skin of the body. In addition, a massage agent is applied to the shoulders and neck muscles, and massage is performed using a body massage tool. Massage can be performed while actually feeling warmth or the like with the palm of the hand, and as a result, warmth and coldness can be obtained over a wider range of the body. Furthermore, the massage agent can be spread between the palm side and the body side through the opening so that the massage agent can be easily applied to the appropriate part by adjusting the appropriate amount. .

  The body massage tool 10 according to the present embodiment is used by attaching the palm to one side 11a of the plate-like substrate 11 having the opening 14 and attaching it to the hand. It has a function that allows you to massage while feeling the coolness and warmth of the sensation agent component with the palm of your body. Furthermore, the body massage tool 10 according to the present embodiment allows the massage agent to easily pass through the opening 14 between the palm side and the body side, so that the massage agent can be easily applied to an appropriate site with the sense of the palm. It has a function to adjust the amount and spread it.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the body massage device 10 of the present embodiment includes a plate-like substrate 11 having an opening 14 and a palm 11 along one side 11 a of the substrate. And positioning means 15 for positioning the hand so that the opening 14 is disposed in the finger crotch portion or in the vicinity of the finger crotch portion when worn.

  In the present embodiment, the substrate 11 has a palm size and shape. Moreover, in this embodiment, the opening part 14 is formed in the magnitude | size which does not protrude from the palm. In the present invention, the palm means the whole side opposite to the back side of the hand among the whole part ahead of the wrist including the finger part.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the positioning means 15 is composed of a finger crotch gripping portion 12 provided so as to protrude from the one surface 11a of the substrate 11 in the vicinity of the opening portion 14, preferably between the index finger and the middle finger. The opening 14 is arranged in the finger crotch portion or in the vicinity of the finger crotch portion by sandwiching the finger claw holding grip portion 12 by the finger crotch portion.

  When the positioning means 15 is attached to the hand along the palm of the one surface 11a of the substrate 11, the opening 14 is arranged in the finger crotch or in the vicinity of the finger crotch. Through the opening 14, it is possible to positively induce a sensate-containing massage agent to contact the root part of the finger crotch, in particular, so that the sensation of the sensation component and the sensation of warmth can be realized more strongly. It becomes possible to massage while.

  In addition, since the finger crotch is widened by the positioning means 15 being the finger claw sandwiching gripping part 12, the sensory agent-containing massage agent is the finger that is most likely to feel warmth or coldness due to the sensory agent component in the palm of the hand. It spreads well to the crotch, especially the crotch part between the index finger and middle finger, which is particularly easy to feel, and the base of the finger crotch part between the middle finger and ring finger. It becomes possible to realize more effectively.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the finger crotch pinching grip part 12 has the plate-shaped part 16 provided with a flat vertically long cross-sectional shape (refer FIGS. 2-4). Here, the term “longitudinal” means that the longitudinal direction of the flat cross-sectional shape is the longitudinal direction, and the length is longer than the lateral length.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the height is so low as not to hinder the sensation agent-containing massage agent from reaching the base of the finger crotch portion on the other surface 11b of the substrate 11 specifically, about 20 mm or less. A plurality of protrusions 13 having a height of 5 are distributed.

  In the present embodiment, the body massager 10 is preferably a substrate using, for example, an elastomer resin such as a styrene resin, a polyester resin, an olefin resin, or a urethane resin, a synthetic rubber, or the like as an elastic resin that can be deformed by a hand grip force. 11, a finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12, and a plurality of protrusions 13 are formed integrally. Thus, the substrate 11 is made of a flexible elastic resin that can be deformed by a hand gripping force. Since the substrate 11 is made of a flexible elastic resin that can be deformed by the gripping force of the hand, the substrate 11 is coupled with the movement of the palm or the finger of the palm in combination with the opening 14 formed in the substrate 11. Not only can it be elastically deformed smoothly, but also a sensation agent with a viscosity of 50 to 15000 mPa · s at 25 ° C. when diluted twice with water by flexibly fitting the shape of the massage target part The contained massage agent is easily transferred from the target site to the palm through the opening of the massage tool. In addition, the substrate 11 fits in the palm of the hand, preventing the sensate-containing massage agent that has a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s from diluting out of the palm when diluted twice with water. It ’s easy to stay in the palm of your hand.

  Here, the elastic resin constituting the substrate 11 is an elastic resin having elasticity that can be easily elastically deformed by the gripping force of the hand, and has a rubber hardness (Shore A hardness, a rubber hardness meter (GS709N type manufactured by Teclock Co., Ltd.). (A) It is preferable that it is an elastic material provided with the physical property of 30-80 in the numerical value measured based on ASTM D2240A 0-100 (Shore A hardness). Moreover, it is preferable that the elastic resin which comprises the board | substrate 11 is provided with the elasticity whose same hardness is 35-75, and it is still more preferable that it is provided with the elasticity of 40-70.

  In the present embodiment, the substrate 11 preferably fits in the palm of an adult woman and can be deformed by the hand gripping force, so-called palm size size and shape, for example, a vertical width of 100 to 160 mm, preferably Is a size of 105 to 155 mm, more preferably a size of 110 to 150 mm, and a lateral width of 65 to 105 mm, preferably 70 to 100 mm, more preferably 75 to 95 mm. It is formed so as to have a vertically long planar shape. A sensory agent-containing massage agent that has a palm-sized size and shape that fits roughly in the palm of the substrate 11 so that when diluted twice with water, the viscosity at 25 ° C. is 50 to 15000 mPa · s. However, it is easy to stay in the palm by preventing it from protruding from the palm. The substrate 11 preferably has a peripheral edge portion 20 (see FIG. 5), for example, a thickness of 1 to 6 mm, preferably 1.5 to 4 mm, and more preferably 2 to 3 mm. It is formed in a flat plate shape with a thickness of. In addition, the width of the peripheral thick part 20 is preferably 2 to 8 mm, more preferably 3 to 6 mm, and still more preferably 3.5 to 4.5 mm. The maximum thickness of the peripheral thick part 20 is 1.1 to 3 times the thickness of the flat plate portion of the substrate 11, preferably 1.2 to 2.5 times, and more preferably 1. The thickness is 3 to 2 times. Such a width and thickness of the peripheral thick portion 20 are not only preferable in terms of reinforcement, comfort, and elastic deformation, but also because the substrate 11 fits into the palm, When diluted twice, the sensory agent-containing massage agent having a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s is prevented from sticking out from the palm and tends to stay in the palm.

  The substrate 11 is sandwiched between the finger crotch gripping portion 12 as the positioning means 15 and preferably the finger crotch between the index finger and the middle finger, and the body massage tool 10 is held in the hand along the palm 11. When mounted, an arcuate border is formed on the outer peripheral edge 11c of the rear end disposed on the wrist side in the longitudinal direction of the substrate 11, and the front end of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger is disposed. An uneven edge portion is formed on the outer peripheral edge portion 11d. It is preferable that the unevenness has a length between adjacent recesses of 15 to 30 mm. By forming such an uneven-shaped border on the outer peripheral edge 11d of the substrate 11, for example, when performing massage by a light rubbing method, a strong rubbing method or an acupuncture method, the index finger, the middle finger or the ring finger is held. It becomes easy to attach to the site | part which massages, As a result, the opening part 14 is more reliably arrange | positioned in a finger crotch part or a finger crotch part vicinity. As a result, the sensation agent can be realized at the finger crotch part, and the massage agent can be easily transferred with the sensation of the palm by moving back and forth between the palm side and the body side through the opening. , Can be spread in an appropriate amount on an appropriate site. Furthermore, since the uneven outer peripheral edge portion 11d of the substrate 11 is formed with an uneven rim, it is easy to attach an index finger, middle finger, and ring finger to the site to be massaged with an appropriate interval when performing massage. Therefore, when diluted with water twice, the sensate-containing massage agent with a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s spreads well to the base of the finger crotch. It becomes possible to realize more effectively.

  In addition, a finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 serving as a positioning means 15 is preferably sandwiched between the finger crotch portion between the index finger and the middle finger, and the substrate 11 is placed on one surface 11a of the substrate 11 along the palm of the hand. When the body massage tool 10 is worn on the hand, a constricted portion that is recessed in a concave shape is formed on the side edge portion 11e on at least one side of the substrate 11 arranged along the thumb and little finger. By forming a concave constricted portion on the side edge portion 11e on at least one side of the substrate 11, for example, when performing massage by a light rubbing method, a strong rubbing method or an acupuncture method, It becomes easy to attach to the part which massages, and as a result, the opening part 14 is more reliably arrange | positioned in a finger crotch part or a finger crotch part vicinity. As a result, the sensory agent is actually felt at the finger crotch, and when diluted twice with water, a sensory agent-containing massage agent having a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s passes through the opening. By going back and forth between the palm side and the body side, it is possible to easily spread the massage agent in an appropriate amount and spread it on an appropriate site with the sense of the palm. Particularly preferably, constricted concavities are formed in the side edge portions 11e on both sides of the substrate 11, respectively. By forming concave and constricted constricted portions on the side edge portions 11e on both sides of the substrate 11, for example, when performing massage by the acupuncture method, the thumb and little finger are placed on a predetermined part of the body to be massaged. As a result, the opening 14 is more reliably arranged near the finger crotch or the finger crotch. As a result, the sensory agent is actually felt at the finger crotch, and when diluted twice with water, a sensory agent-containing massage agent having a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s passes through the opening. By moving back and forth between the palm side and the body side, the massage agent can be easily spread in an appropriate amount at an appropriate site with the sense of the palm.

  In the present embodiment, an opening 14 that penetrates the substrate 11 across the front and back is formed in the vicinity of the finger claw sandwiching grip 12. A sensory agent-containing massage agent having a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s when diluted twice with water by forming the opening 14 in the vicinity of the finger claw sandwiching gripping part 12 It spreads well from the part to the base of the finger crotch through the opening 14, thereby enabling the sensory agent to be effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand. The opening 14 is preferably formed in the central region of the substrate 11, and in particular, a shape that wraps around the finger claw sandwiching grip 12 is preferable. Among them, a shape extending to at least one of the side surfaces of the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 is preferable, specifically, for example, having a substantially heart shape, a substantially concave shape, or a substantially bean shape, The sensate-containing massage agent taken in the palm of the hand is preferable because it penetrates well into the finger crotch region and allows the massage to be performed while the sensation of the sensation agent is efficiently felt with the palm. Unlike the dotted holes and the linear slits, the opening 14 is formed as an opening hole having an opening width of a considerable size in the vertical and horizontal directions. Since the opening 14 is formed in the form as described above, the vertical direction of the finger claw sandwiching gripping part 12 having a flat vertical cross-sectional shape centered on the opening 14 is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction. It is possible to bend the substrate 11 by setting not only the intersecting direction but also any direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 as the direction of the bending valley line X (see FIG. 1). As a result, for example, when performing massage by the acupuncture method, the massage by the acupuncture method can be more effectively performed while the substrate 11 is bent along the shape of each part of the body having various three-dimensional shapes. It becomes possible. In addition, a sensate-containing massage agent that has a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s when diluted twice with water spreads well from the massage target site to the base of the finger crotch. Thus, the sensory agent can be effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand. In the present embodiment, the opening 14 is formed in the central region of the substrate 11 and has a substantially heart shape.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the opening 14 is in a cross section along a line segment that bisects the opening 14 (a line segment that is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the substrate 11 and bisects the area of the opening). The opening 14 is preferably formed on the substrate 11 so that the opening width is 20 to 70% of the width of the substrate 11. Since the opening width of the opening 14 is 20 to 70% of the width of the substrate 11, the massage agent applied to the palm or applied to the body can be easily along the skin of the body while performing massage. In addition to being able to spread smoothly, it is possible to massage while feeling the coolness and warmth of the sensate component. If the opening width of the opening 14 is an appropriate size as described above with respect to the width of the substrate 11, the width of the portion where the opening 14 is not formed is secured to a certain extent and the substrate 11 is rigid against bending. If the substrate 11 becomes too small during massage, the sensate-containing massage agent with a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s protrudes from the palm of the hand when diluted twice with water. It is possible to effectively avoid the occurrence of defects. Moreover, since the rigidity with respect to the bending of the substrate 11 is not too large and can be secured moderately, the viscosity at 25 ° C. becomes a viscosity of 50 to 15000 mPa · s when diluted twice with water by appropriately fitting the palm. The agent-containing massage agent tends to stay in the palm without protruding from the palm. Furthermore, since the rigidity with respect to the bending of the substrate 11 is not too large and can be secured appropriately, the viscosity at 25 ° C. is 50 to 15000 mPa · s when diluted twice with water by flexibly fitting the shape of the target part. Thus, the sensate-containing massage agent spreads well from the target site to the base of the finger crotch through the opening, thereby enabling the sensory agent to be effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is preferable that the opening part 14 has an opening area of ² to 24 cm ² . By forming the opening 14 so that the opening area is ² to 24 cm ² , the sensate-containing massage agent applied to the palm or applied to the body can be easily and smoothly along the skin of the body while performing massage. In addition to being able to spread, the massage can be performed while feeling the coolness and warmth of the sensate component with the palm of the hand. If the opening area of the opening 14 is an appropriate size as described above, the rigidity against deformation of the substrate 11 becomes too small, causing the substrate 11 to be twisted during massage, or when diluted twice with water. It is possible to effectively avoid the occurrence of a problem that the sensate-containing massage agent having a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s protrudes from the palm. Moreover, since the rigidity with respect to the bending of the substrate 11 is not too large and can be secured moderately, the viscosity at 25 ° C. becomes a viscosity of 50 to 15000 mPa · s when diluted twice with water by appropriately fitting the palm. The agent-containing massage agent tends to stay in the palm without protruding from the palm. Furthermore, since the rigidity with respect to the bending of the substrate 11 is not too large and can be secured appropriately, the viscosity at 25 ° C. is 50 to 15000 mPa · s when diluted twice with water by flexibly fitting the shape of the target part. Thus, the sensate-containing massage agent spreads well from the target site to the base of the finger crotch through the opening, thereby enabling the sensory agent to be effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the ratio between the value of the opening area (cm ² ) of the opening 14 and the value of the viscosity (mPa · s) at 25 ° C. when diluted twice with the water of the massage agent [massage Viscosity at 25 ° C. (mPa · s): Opening area (cm ² )] when diluted twice with water of the agent is preferably 1: 1 to 10000: 1, more preferably 5: 1 The sensate-containing massage agent having a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s when diluted 2 times by being 5000: 1, more preferably 10: 1 to 1000: 1 This is preferable because it spreads well through the opening to the base of the finger crotch, thereby enabling the sensory agent to be effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the opening 14 preferably has an opening area of 2 to 25% of the substrate area. When the opening area is 2 to 25% of the substrate area, the massage agent-containing massage agent applied to the palm or applied to the body can be easily and smoothly spread along the skin of the body while performing massage. In addition, the massage can be performed while feeling the coolness and warmth of the sensate component with the palm of the hand. If the opening area of the opening 14 is an appropriate size as described above, the rigidity against deformation of the substrate 11 becomes too small, causing the substrate 11 to be twisted during massage, or when diluted twice with water. It is possible to effectively avoid the occurrence of a problem that the sensate-containing massage agent having a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s protrudes from the palm. Moreover, since the rigidity with respect to the bending of the substrate 11 is not too large and can be secured moderately, the viscosity at 25 ° C. becomes a viscosity of 50 to 15000 mPa · s when diluted twice with water by appropriately fitting the palm. The agent-containing massage agent tends to stay in the palm without protruding from the palm. Furthermore, since the rigidity with respect to the bending of the substrate 11 is not too large and can be secured appropriately, the viscosity at 25 ° C. is 50 to 15000 mPa · s when diluted twice with water by flexibly fitting the shape of the target part. Thus, the sensate-containing massage agent spreads well from the target site to the base of the finger crotch through the opening, thereby enabling the sensory agent to be effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the opening part 14 is formed in the magnitude | size which does not protrude from the palm. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the opening 14 is at most the size from the first joint of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger to the base of the thumb.

  Since the opening portion 14 is formed in a size that does not protrude from the palm, the massage agent moves back and forth between the palm side and the body side via the opening portion 14, so that the massage agent can be more easily performed with the feeling of the palm. Can be spread in an appropriate amount on an appropriate site. In addition, a sensate-containing massage agent that has a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s when diluted twice with water spreads well from the target site to the root of the finger crotch. The sensory agent can be effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand. In addition, since the opening 14 is at most the size from the first joint of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger to the base of the thumb, the opening 14 is more reliably arranged near the finger crotch or finger crotch. Therefore, the sensory agent can be more effectively realized at the finger crotch portion of the hand.

  In the present embodiment, a surface rib 17 having a non-slip function is provided on one surface 11a of the substrate 11 on which the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 stands. In the present embodiment, the surface rib 17 is an abbreviated shape of the one surface 11a of the substrate 11 as a linear rib extending in a direction perpendicular to the vertically long direction of the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 having a flat vertically long cross-sectional shape. Over the entire region, a plurality of fingers are provided in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 at a predetermined interval. Since the surface rib 17 having a non-slip function is provided on the one surface 11a of the substrate 11, for example, when performing massage by acupuncture method, it becomes more difficult to slip, so the fit property to the palm surface 11a Improves, and it becomes possible to perform massage by acupuncture more effectively. As a result, since the opening 14 is more reliably disposed in the finger crotch or in the vicinity of the finger crotch, the sensation agent can be more effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand, and the massage agent can be opened. By going back and forth between the palm side and the body side through the massage agent, it is possible to spread the massage agent in an appropriate amount in an appropriate amount more easily with the sense of the palm. In addition, a sensate-containing massage agent that has a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s when diluted twice with water spreads well from the target site to the root of the finger crotch. The sensory agent can be effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand.

  In this embodiment, the finger claw sandwiching grip 12 provided upright on one surface of the substrate 11 has a plate-like portion 16 having a flat and vertically long cross-sectional shape. Since the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 has a plate-like portion 16 having a flat and vertically long cross-sectional shape, the finger crotch sandwiching gripping portion 12 is, for example, a finger crotch between an index finger and a middle finger. The body massage tool 10 can be attached to the hand in a more stable state. As a result, since the opening 14 is more reliably disposed in the finger crotch or in the vicinity of the finger crotch, the sensation agent can be more effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand, and the massage agent can be opened. By going back and forth between the palm side and the body side through the massage agent, it is possible to spread the massage agent in an appropriate amount in an appropriate amount more easily with the sense of the palm. In addition, as for the horizontal width of the cross-sectional shape of the plate-shaped part 16 provided with a flat vertically long cross-sectional shape, 2-14 mm is preferable. By making such a width, the finger crotch is appropriately spread. Therefore, when diluted twice with water, a sensate-containing massage agent having a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 50 to 15000 mPa · s is applied to the base of the finger crotch. As a result, the sensory agent can be more effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the finger crotch pinching and gripping portion 12 having the plate-like portion 16 has a shape in which the opening portion 14 turns around. That is, in the present embodiment, the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 has an opening formed in the central region of the substrate 11 with the base end portion 12a on the rear end edge portion 11c side of the substrate 11 in a flat vertically long cross-sectional shape. Fourteen substantially heart-shaped constricted portions are provided in close proximity. Further, the finger claw sandwiching grasping portion 12 extends from the central region of the substrate 11 toward the outer peripheral edge portion 11d, and preferably reaches the first joint of these fingers from the root of the finger crotch portion between the index finger and the middle finger. It extends in a length shorter than the length, and is provided in a region closer to the outer peripheral edge 11 d of the substrate 11 than the opening 14. Since the opening 14 is formed so as to wrap around the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12, specifically, in the present embodiment, the rear end outer peripheral edge portion 11c side of the substrate 11 of the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 is used. Since the base end portion 12a is arranged close to the opening 14, the substrate 11 can be bent easily when performing massage by the acupuncture method, so that the massage by the acupuncture method is effective. It becomes possible to do. The finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 having the plate-like portion 16 extends with a length shorter than the length from the root of the finger crotch between the index finger and the middle finger to the first joint of these fingers. It is easy to bend these fingers at the first joint part, and when diluted with water, the viscosity is 25 to 15000 mPa · s. The massage agent spreads well from the target site to the base of the finger crotch through the opening, thereby enabling the sensory agent to be effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the side surface 12b of the finger crotch pinching grip part 12 having the plate-like portion 16 is formed in an inward concave shape as shown in FIG. That is, the side surface 12b of the finger claw sandwiching gripping part 12 having the plate-like portion 16 is preferably a central portion in the longitudinal direction of the plate-like portion 16, and the width is narrowed to 90% to 40% of the maximum width. Particularly preferably, it is formed in a concave shape that is gently curved. Since the side surface 12b of the finger claw sandwiching gripping part 12 is inwardly concave, for example, the finger claw sandwiching gripping part 12 is sandwiched between the finger crotch part between the index finger and the middle finger, and the substrate 11 is placed in the palm of the hand. When the body massage device 10 is worn along the hand, the protruding portion of the second joint of the index finger and the middle finger fits into the concave portion of the side surface 12b, so that the opening 14 can be more securely connected to the finger crotch or finger. Because it is placed near the crotch part, the sensation agent can be more effectively felt at the finger crotch part of the hand, and the massage agent can move between the palm side and the body side through the opening. Thus, it is possible to spread the massage agent in an appropriate amount in an appropriate amount more easily with the sense of the palm.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, side ribs 18 having a function of preventing slipping are provided on the side surface 12 b of the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 having the plate-like portion 16. It has been. In the present embodiment, a plurality of side ribs 18 are provided as linear ribs extending in the vertical direction perpendicular to the substrate 11 and arranged in parallel at predetermined intervals in the horizontal direction. Since the side ribs 18 having the anti-slip function are provided on the side surfaces of the finger claw sandwiching gripping part 12, it becomes more difficult to slip, so that the index finger and the middle finger can be held with respect to the finger claw sandwiching gripping part 12. Since it improves, it becomes possible to perform a massage in a more stable state. As a result, since the opening 14 is more reliably disposed in the finger crotch or in the vicinity of the finger crotch, the sensation agent can be more effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand, and the massage agent can be opened. By going back and forth between the palm side and the body side through the massage agent, it is possible to spread the massage agent in an appropriate amount in an appropriate amount more easily with the sense of the palm.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a finger hooking collar portion 19 is provided so as to project outward from the upper end portion of the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12. By providing the finger-hook collar 19, for example, the finger massage pinching and gripping part 12 is sandwiched between the finger crotch between the index finger and the middle finger, and the body massage tool 10 is placed along the palm of the hand 11. During the massage to each part of the body that is worn on the hand, it is possible to lock the dorsal side of the index finger and the middle finger to the finger-hook collar portion 19. Accordingly, for example, when performing massage by bending while the substrate 11 is bent and deformed, the finger crotch portion does not come out of the finger claw sandwiching gripping portion 12 so that the massage can be performed in a more stable state. It becomes possible. As a result, since the opening 14 is more reliably disposed in the finger crotch or in the vicinity of the finger crotch, the sensation agent can be more effectively felt at the finger crotch of the hand, and the massage agent can be opened. By going back and forth between the palm side and the body side through the massage agent, it is possible to spread the massage agent in an appropriate amount in an appropriate amount more easily with the sense of the palm.

[Examples 1 to 4, Comparative Examples 1 to 6]
The raw materials shown in Tables 1 and 2 were mixed to prepare a massage agent and evaluated by the above method. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2. The viscosity (25 ° C.) was measured using a BM type digital viscometer (TVB-10M manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd.) as described above with the rotor and the number of rotations corresponding to the viscosity. . Moreover, the viscosity at the time of 2 times dilution measured the viscosity of the 2 times dilution liquid obtained by adding the same amount of 25 degreeC ion-exchange water in the mass to the massage agent hold | maintained at 25 degreeC, and stirring.

According to the results in Table 1, in Examples 1 to 4, when the agent is taken on the palm, the viscosity is moderately reduced when the body massager is used on wet skin (when diluted 2 times), and the opening is reduced. The agent spread from the department to the palm, and the effect of the sensation agent could be felt even with the palm. In particular, Example 1 using vanillyl butyl ether as a warming agent was better than Example 2 in terms of skin hypoallergenicity.
On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 in which the viscosity at the time of 2-fold dilution is too low, when the body massager is used on wet skin (at the time of 2-fold dilution), the viscosity becomes too low and the agent does not reach the palm. I couldn't feel the warmth in Comparative Example 3 in which the viscosity could not be measured while being separated from water at the time of 2-fold dilution was not preferable in terms of irritation. About the comparative example 1 whose viscosity before dilution is too low, it drooped also about the easiness of spreading and was not preferable. Further, Comparative Examples 4 and 5 having too high a viscosity at the time of 2-fold dilution were not preferable in terms of irritation because the viscosity was high when the body massager was used on wet skin (at the time of 2-fold dilution). Comparative Examples 5 and 6 were not preferable in terms of irritation at the target site because the elongation was poor and uneven adhesion was observed with respect to the ease of spreading. In Comparative Example 7, since it was a massage tool without an opening, the agent did not spread from the opening to the palm, and the warmth in the palm was not felt.
