Description

  The present invention relates to a biobattery treatment device, and more particularly, to a biobattery treatment device that is used in contact with the skin and treats a target site by energization stimulation of a weak DC electromotive force to a subcutaneous tissue.

  In recent years, an increasing number of patients suffer from chronic stiff shoulders and low back pain, and so far, many poultices, hot tubs, metal particles, magnetic treatment devices, low frequency treatment devices, etc. have been marketed as home treatment devices. These therapeutic tools promote the circulation of the affected area according to various principles, and have the effect of purifying locally accumulated waste.

  As a treatment tool based on a principle different from the above-described general treatment tool, a biological battery treatment tool that heals muscle and nerve fatigue by energization stimulation has been proposed (Patent Documents 1 to 4). The biobattery treatment device is a superior treatment device that forms a biobattery when it comes into contact with the skin and gives a direct current, and has a therapeutic effect equivalent to or higher than that of the above-mentioned home treatment device. Has been demonstrated.

  FIG. 1 shows a general shape of such a conventional biological battery treatment device. The biological battery treatment device includes a pedestal 1, a semiconductor 2, and a support 3 and is attached to the skin S. The pedestal 1 is a pedestal made of synthetic resin to which gold plating is applied, and acts as a positive electrode of the battery. On the other hand, the semiconductor 2 is held upright on the pedestal 1 and functions as a negative electrode of the battery, and the pedestal 1 and the semiconductor 2 form one battery.

As is apparent from the figure, the biological battery treatment tool has a large skin area to be covered compared to the area of the skin contact point, and it is difficult to apply a plurality of parts to the parts close to each other. There are also points to be improved in size, skin contact feeling, shape and the like. Furthermore, there are many accidents that damage the skin when such a conventional biobattery treatment tool is applied to the skin.

  For example, in order to prevent skin damage, techniques for improving the surface structure have been proposed (Patent Documents 5 and 6). However, when such a proposed biobattery treatment tool is used by being attached to the skin, the skin contact feeling is still not sufficient, and there is a possibility of damage to the skin. Also, a stable current stimulation effect cannot be obtained sufficiently.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor has previously proposed a biobattery treatment tool that has a good skin contact feeling and provides an excellent current stimulation effect (Patent Document 7).

  This biological battery treatment device is a biological battery treatment device comprising a support and an electromotive layer fixedly formed on the surface of the support, wherein the electromotive layer is dispersed in the base material and the base material. And a negative electrode of zinc oxide fine particles functioning as an N-type semiconductor, and a positive electrode of noble metal fine particles dispersed and contained in the base material, and at least a part of the negative electrode of the zinc oxide fine particles, Further, at least a part of the positive electrode of the noble metal fine particles is in contact with each other to constitute a biological battery unit, and at least a part of the biological battery unit is disposed on the surface of the substrate.

  Although this biological battery treatment device has solved the above-described problems, the following problems are not always sufficiently solved. That is, this type of biological battery treatment device uses two kinds of conductive fillers (for example, a noble metal and zinc oxide) of an anode and a cathode, but not only the fillers of both electrodes are connected in the binder, but also the surface of the binder. In addition, both electrodes must be exposed and contact the skin to form a biobattery treatment device. On the other hand, the biological battery treatment tool assumes that the binder itself is not completely cured and also has a pressure-sensitive adhesive (sticky) state, so that it is surely conductive even if the binder itself is not sufficiently contracted. Must be maintained.

  In order to solve these problems, it is conceivable to increase the amount of the bipolar binder mixed, but in that case, the adhesiveness of the binder itself is lowered and it becomes impossible to continue to contact the skin, and the anode is configured. It is uneconomical because a large amount of precious metals with high unit prices must be used.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a biobattery treatment tool that has a good skin contact feeling and provides a current stimulation effect.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a biobattery treatment device that can reliably maintain conductivity even when the binder itself is not sufficiently contracted.

  Furthermore, this invention is providing the biological battery treatment tool which can be manufactured without using a noble metal with a high unit price.

Since the biological battery treatment tool of said (1)-(10) can make the surface which touches skin the smooth structure without a level | step difference or a space | gap, it is remarkable that the damage of the skin by biological battery sticking can be prevented.

A biological battery treatment device formed of a relatively high material.

  The biological battery treatment device of the above (13) and (14) is a so-called chain in which the number of cathodes is increased (or the number of anodes is increased) in a combination of a plurality of N-type semiconductors (cathodes) and noble metals (anodes). Invention of a living body type battery. In the combination of an N-type semiconductor (cathode) and a noble metal (anode), the number ratio of the number of batteries (the number of lines) is much larger when the number of cathodes is larger. The reason is that the N-type semiconductor (cathode) in an unstable state and the noble metal (anode), which is a stable metal, have a larger number of electromotive forces in the cathode-rich situation as a whole. It is more efficient to concentrate the number of lines (electric flux) and apply stimuli to muscles and other parts that cause stiffness.

  However, since zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium oxide have difficulty in electrical conductivity, it is not easy in terms of electrical characteristics to increase the number of chain-type living cells having a contact resistance mass.

  The biological battery treatment device according to the above (13) and (14) is an invention that satisfies the contradictory characteristics of being cathode-rich and reducing contact resistance. This will be specifically described with a subordinate concept.

  (1) Titanium, which is expensive and difficult to process, is joined with a steel alloy that is highly conductive and relatively easy to process to reduce contact resistance and connect precious metals such as gold and silver to appropriate locations. Alternatively, it is constructed by an appropriate method such as coating to obtain a chain-type biological battery.

  (2) The entire comb is made of gold (Au), silver (Ag) or copper alloy having high conductivity, or made of copper alloy or the like and made of gold (Au) or silver (Ag) having higher conductivity. By treating the surface with coating or plating or the like, not only the conductivity is improved, but also the appearance is beautifully increased in value, and a chain made of a coated copper alloy is formed.

  The copper alloy or the coated steel alloy chain is covered with conductive zinc oxide or titanium, for example, with ion plating to form an N-type semiconductor chain as a whole, and is further formed on the N-type semiconductor coating at an appropriate location. Then, they are connected so as to be covered with a noble metal such as gold or silver, or are applied by printing or other appropriate methods to form a chain-type biological battery. Unlike zinc, titanium oxide can form a chain-type biological battery using a stable titanium oxide film (N-type semiconductor). When titanium is ion-plated, for example, the surface thereof becomes a titanium color, and even if the base is gold or silver, its beauty is lost. However, when conductive zinc oxide (ZnO) is ion-plated, the coating is almost transparent and has the merit of utilizing the beauty of the base.

  (3) Or, since this copper alloy or coated copper alloy chain itself has anodic characteristics, before covering conductive zinc oxide or titanium with, for example, ion plating, mask the necessary parts by an appropriate method. By performing ion plating after applying, a chain type biological battery in which the masked portion becomes the anode can be produced.

  By applying the above means, it is possible to simultaneously obtain the contradictory characteristics of being rich in the cathode and reducing the contact resistance.

Of course, the method is not limited to ion plating, and may be performed by an appropriate method. If the reverse method is taken, an anode-rich chain-type biological battery can be obtained.

  In addition, the chain-type biological battery treatment device (13) has an advantage in industrial production that enables mass production. That is, the present inventor has found that there are the following manufacturing problems in the structure of a chain-type biological battery that is generally assumed.

  In general, a chain-type biological battery is assumed in which linked contact portions of chains linked to each other are exposed to the outside. In order to maintain high conductivity, the connecting contact portion is preferably made of silver, gold, copper, or an alloy thereof having high conductivity instead of a cathode material.

  However, it is difficult to process the cathode while maintaining the high conductivity of the connecting contact portion, regardless of whether wet plating or dry plating is applied to such a generally assumed chain-type biological battery. It is totally unsuitable for mass production.

  Further, in a chain-type biological battery, it is naturally necessary that the chain main body (core material) through which electricity flows is a highly conductive substance.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors propose to create a chain in which the connecting contact portion is not exposed, for example, a ball chain, and use it as a base material for a chain-type biological battery. The connecting contact portion of the chain is covered with a ball-like member and has a shape that is not exposed (see, for example, FIG. 13B and reference numeral 84a). A chain-type biological battery using such a ball chain as a base material is manufactured by the following process as an example.

  First, in order to improve electrical conductivity, the chain itself is made of silver, gold, copper and their alloys having high electrical conductivity, or a material having electrical conductivity equivalent to these. Alternatively, the surface of the chain made of an inexpensive material is treated with silver, gold, copper, or an alloy thereof having high conductivity. As a surface treatment method in this case, it is preferable to perform wet plating so that even the connecting contact portion is immersed in the electrolytic solution and plated.

  Next, a cathode material is coated by surface treatment. This surface treatment is preferably performed by dry plating, and it is particularly preferable to use a sputtering method or an ion plating method among dry plating.

  First, the ion plating method is a method of creating a film by allowing vaporized particles to pass through the plasma to have a positive charge and applying a negative charge to the substrate to attract and deposit the vaporized particles. . Evaporated particles are so strong that they cannot enter shadows. Therefore, by using a chain (for example, a ball chain) having a structure in which the connection contact portion is not exposed as a base material, the connection contact portion remains highly conductive, and only the outside that touches the skin as a biological battery is covered with a cathode material. be able to. The same can be said for the sputtering method.

  Secondly, “conductive zinc oxide” or “titanium” doped with aluminum or the like suitable as a cathode material is effectively dry-plated by using a sputtering method or an ion plating method. The anode part of the biological battery can be prevented from adhering to the cathode material by appropriately performing a masking treatment.

  With the above-described method, the linked contact portion and the chain core material maintain good conductivity, and the portion that comes into contact with the skin can be easily and inexpensively manufactured with a chain-type biocell made of a negative electrode material (N-type semiconductor).

  In addition, when the surface treatment is performed by wet plating, the electrolyte solution enters from the gap between the balls, and the connecting contact portion inside the balls is covered with a cathode material having poor conductivity, so that compared to dry plating. It is not preferable.

  In this example, the ball chain has been described as an example, but in addition to this, a chain with a concatenated contact part, such as a “ball joint” or a structure with a joint, is developed and used. You may do it. In short, any shape may be used as long as the base is a chain having a shape in which the chain connecting contact portion is not substantially exposed to the outside.

In this specification and claims,
The “member having a relatively large ionization tendency” (first member) means a member having a larger ionization tendency than the “member having a relatively small ionization tendency” used in the present invention. In the following description, the negative electrode (filler), the negative electrode (filler), or the N-type semiconductor may be specifically expressed, but these are included in the category of “members having a relatively large ionization tendency”. Is. Although the material is not particularly limited, zinc oxide that constitutes an N-type semiconductor can be given as a highly practical material. “Zinc oxide” includes fine particles whose surface is zinc oxide at least.
In addition, the first member of the present invention is not limited to the entire member made of a cathode component, but also includes a base (base material) coated with a material constituting the cathode. That is, the pedestal itself can be made of, for example, solid zinc or titanium and covered with an oxide on the surface, such as zinc oxide (ZnO) or titanium oxide (TiO2), so that it can be used as an N-type semiconductor for the cathode. However, this is uneconomical, and zinc oxide (ZnO) on the surface of zinc is particularly suitable as a cathode because it is an unstable substance that is then transformed into zinc carbonate, zinc hydroxide or zinc hydroxide. Absent.

  Therefore, it is possible to cover the doped conductive zinc oxide (ZnO) or titanium oxide (TiO2) on the pedestal (base material) using ion plating or sputtering. In this way, a stable cathode can be produced easily and inexpensively as in the case where the pedestal (base material) itself is used as the anode. However, since conductive zinc oxide (ZnO) or titanium oxide (TiO2) itself is a semiconductor and forms a cathode in a thin film, there is a disadvantage that the electrical resistance value is large when configured as a biological battery. In particular, when a cathode is formed by covering these oxides with a non-conductive material such as plastic, the electric resistance is even greater.

  Therefore, a pedestal (base material) is formed of an inexpensive and pure metal such as aluminum or iron, and conductive zinc oxide (ZnO) or the like is formed on the surface of the pedestal (base material) by ion plating or sputtering. By forming the cathode by covering titanium oxide (TiO2), it is possible to drastically reduce the electric resistance when energized. In addition, when a cathode is formed on a non-conductive material such as plastic by these methods, it is preferable to cover the base (base material) with a highly conductive material as a base treatment before ion plating or sputtering. is there. For example, a plastic pedestal is pretreated with, for example, copper (Cu) or an alloy thereof, and a cathode in a thin film is formed with conductive zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium oxide (TiO2), etc. with copper as a semiconductor. Even when the battery is energized, it has good conductivity. The ground treatment may be performed by an appropriate method including plating, vapor deposition, ion plating, sputtering and other coating methods.

  The “member having a relatively small ionization tendency” (second member) means a member having a smaller ionization tendency than the “member having a relatively large ionization tendency” used in the present invention. In the following description, it may be specifically expressed as a positive electrode (filler), an anode (filler), or a noble metal, but these are included in the category of “members having a relatively low ionization tendency”. is there. The material is not particularly limited, but a noble metal is particularly mentioned as a highly practical material. “Noble metal” includes at least a surface region covered with a noble metal by plating or a positive resin. For example, silver-coated copper powder is a noble metal according to the present invention.

  “A member that has conductivity and does not form any of the anode and cathode of the battery and does not have an ionization tendency” means “a material that has conductivity but does not constitute a positive electrode or a negative electrode of a biological battery. , A member that does not have an ionization tendency or a member that includes this material, and further “has conductivity, and the material itself is a material that can constitute a positive electrode and a negative electrode of a biological battery, but does not substantially contact the skin, It means “a member that does not constitute a positive electrode or a negative electrode of a biological battery and does not have an ionization tendency”. “A member having conductivity but the material itself does not constitute a positive electrode or a negative electrode of a biological battery and does not have an ionization tendency” is not particularly limited. However, as a highly practical material, particularly carbon or a conductive polymer is used. Etc. In the case of carbon, it is usually formed by, for example, carbon paint, binder, printing or the like. If a gel-like conductive polymer is applied, it has an adhesive effect on its own, and there is no need to combine it with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, binder, filler, or the like.

  In addition, the “member having conductivity and does not form any of the anode and cathode of the battery and does not have an ionization tendency” means that the first material (substance) is not electrically conductive, but the first When the member and the second member come into contact with the skin, the structure and / or processing is performed such that a current flows through the skin between the first member and the second member, thereby forming a battery. In addition, a battery in which neither an anode nor a cathode of a battery electrode is formed and a member having no ionization tendency is disposed.

  For example, a substance other than carbon described above may be replaced with the first member or the second member by sputtering or ion plating in a thin film structure, resulting in the formation of a battery, or The substance may be a foam or a porous body, and consequently the first member or the second member is impregnated or permeated, and as a result, forms a battery. As long as the substance does not form any other material.

In the present invention, the term “having conductivity” in “a member that has conductivity and does not form any of the anode and cathode of the battery and does not have an ionization tendency” means “electric resistance R [Ω] determined by the following formula:
R = ρ · L / A (R: electrical resistance, L: length [m], A: cross-sectional area [m ² ])
The electrical resistivity ρ [Ωm] is preferably 1 Ωm or less, more preferably 10 ⁻² Ωm or less, and particularly preferably 10 ⁻⁴ Ωm or less. In particular, when a metal is contained, this member is 10 ⁻ It can also be set to ⁵ to 10 ⁻⁸ Ωm. Incidentally, the electrical resistivity ρ of human skin is about 5.0 × 10 ⁵ Ωm.

The third member having an ionization tendency between the first member and the second member means a material that can constitute the positive electrode or the negative electrode of the biological battery. When the first member is zinc oxide and the second member is gold, An example is silver.
“Skin” means the skin, mucous membrane and the like of a living body (human body, animal, etc.) in a broad sense, and is intended to be a place where the biological battery treatment device according to the present invention can be attached.
“Fine particle” refers to a particle having a particle size of a size necessary for constituting the biological battery treatment device according to the present invention.
The average particle diameter of the zinc oxide fine particles (first member) is a value calculated from the specific surface area with a BET meter.

  The average particle diameter of the noble metal fine particles (second member) such as silver powder is a value of D50 measured by a laser diffraction method.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a biobattery treatment tool having a good skin contact feeling and an excellent current stimulation effect. In addition, the present invention can provide a biobattery treatment device that can reliably maintain electrical conductivity even if the binder itself is not sufficiently contracted. Furthermore, the present invention can manufacture a biological battery treatment device without using a large amount of a noble metal with a high unit price.

  Hereinafter, each embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

(First embodiment)
A first embodiment of a biological battery treatment tool will be described with reference to FIG.

  The biological battery treatment tool includes the first member 12 and the second member, which are electrically conductive and do not form any of the anode and the cathode of the battery and have no ionization tendency, together with the first member 12 and the second member 14. 14 so as to be interposed between them.

  The second member 14 is formed of a plate material, and at least the member 16 side is formed of a material that is relatively less ionized than the first member 12. For example, at least the member 16 side is formed of a gold-plated plate material, positive resin, or the like. Although the 2nd member 14 is plate shape, the shape and thickness in particular are not ask | required. Including any shape such as rectangle, round, ellipse.

  The member 16 is not particularly limited as long as it is a material that has conductivity and does not constitute an anode or a cathode of a battery and does not have an ionization tendency, and preferably includes carbon. It is formed by applying to the surface of the second member 14. Or the binder which mix | blended carbon can also be formed by techniques, such as printing. In this case, it is necessary not to apply to the entire surface of the second member 14, but to apply at least portions that are not applied to the outer periphery, that is, portions 14a and 14b where the second member 14 is exposed. The exposed portions are not limited to two as shown in FIG.

  Examples of materials other than carbon include graphite, salt inclusions, conductive polymer materials and conductive polymers. When a gel-like conductive polymer is used, it has an adhesive effect by itself, and it is not necessary to add a binder, a pressure-sensitive adhesive or the like, which is preferable. Typical examples of the conductive polymer material include polyacetylene, polyaniline, poly (p-phenylene vinylene), polypyrrole, polythiophene, polyaniline, poly (p-phenylene sulfide), PEDOT (polyethylenedioxythiophene), and the like. There are other oligothiophenes. Some of the actual properties are more like semiconductors than conductors. In other respects, carbon (including carbon nanotubes) is the cheapest and most stable material and safe for the human body.

  In this member 16, the ionization tendency can disperse and arrange the fine particles of the member between the first member 12 and the second member 14. Examples of the fine particles include silver powder when the first member 12 is zinc oxide and the second member 14 is gold.

  The first member 12 is arranged dispersed on the surface of the member 16. The first member 12 preferably includes zinc oxide. For example, the first member 12 can arrange the binder containing the fine particles of the first member in one island shape on the member 16 or in a number of island shapes. The area of the island-like region is arbitrary.

  When the first member 12 is the skin S side and the exposed portion 14a of the first member 12 and the second member 14 is brought into contact with the skin, the conductivity between the first member 12 and the second member 14 is increased. Since the member 16 that does not have an ionization tendency is interposed, a biological battery unit is formed between the first member 12 and the second member 14, and current flows through the skin. Thereby, the function as a biological battery treatment tool is exhibited.

  In the following, with regard to suitable components, blending amounts, particle sizes of the fine particles, etc., the first member 12 will be described by taking zinc oxide constituting the semiconductor particles, the second member 14 by precious metal, and the member 16 by carbon. To do.

  The zinc oxide fine particles functioning as the N-type semiconductor constituting the first member have a standard unipolar potential lower than that of the metal used for the noble metal fine particles. In order for the zinc oxide fine particles to function as an N-type semiconductor, the zinc oxide fine particles may be processed by any means known per se. For example, the zinc oxide fine particles may be treated with aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), antimony. An N-type dopant by doping with (Sb) or the like may be performed. However, the present invention is not limited to the zinc oxide fine particles that have been subjected to this treatment to function as an N-type semiconductor.

  The particle diameter of the zinc oxide fine particles is not particularly limited, but considering the good feel when touched, 50 μm is appropriate as the upper limit, and the average particle diameter is 1 nm to 200 nm, preferably 1 nm. It is ˜100 nm, particularly preferably in the range of 1 nm to 50 μm. Furthermore, the thing of an average particle diameter of 20 nm-15 micrometers, 10 micrometers-15 micrometers, 20 nm-40 nm, etc. may be sufficient.

  The particle diameter of the carbon fine particles constituting the member 16 having conductivity and no ionization tendency is not particularly limited, but the average particle diameter is 1 nm to 200 nm, preferably 1 nm to 100 nm, particularly preferably. It is in the range of 1 nm to 50 μm. Furthermore, the thing of an average particle diameter of 20 nm-15 micrometers, 10 micrometers-15 micrometers, 20 nm-40 nm, etc. may be sufficient.

  The blending amount of the member 16 with respect to the binder is preferably 25 to 50 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the binder.

It is also possible to mix a member having an ionization tendency between the member 12 and the member 14, for example, silver fine particles, in the binder for blending the carbon fine particles.

  The particle diameter of such silver fine particles is not particularly limited, but the average particle diameter is in the range of 1 nm to 200 nm, preferably 1 nm to 100 nm, and particularly preferably 1 nm to 50 μm. Furthermore, the thing of an average particle diameter of 20 nm-15 micrometers, 10 micrometers-15 micrometers, 20 nm-40 nm, etc. may be sufficient.

  The blending amount of the member 16 with respect to the binder is preferably 25 to 50 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the binder.

  Examples of those that function as a binder include thermoplastic resins, acrylic resins, polyurethane resins, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride, polyesters, polyethers, polyacrylonitrile, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamides, polycarbonates, and phenoxy resins. It is a synthetic resin.

  25 mass parts-50 mass parts is suitable with respect to 100 mass parts of zinc oxide fine particle binder contained in a binder.

  The mixing of the zinc oxide fine particles or carbon fine particles into the binder may be performed by any means known per se, for example, by dissolving the base material in a solvent and dispersing and mixing the zinc oxide fine particles or carbon fine particles therein.

  And the binder containing carbon (it is possible to contain fine particles such as silver) on the second member 14 is fixed by any known means such as coating, spraying, mesh screen, scribe binder ejection molding and / or mold molding. Then, the biological battery of the present invention is fixed on the binder containing zinc oxide fine particles by any known means such as coating, spraying, mesh screen, screen printing, injection molding and / or mold molding. A treatment tool is formed.

  The thickness (maximum thickness) of the biological battery treatment device may be selected as desired according to the method of using the biological battery treatment device 20. For example, it is 150 μm or less, 100 μm or less, 50 μm or less, 10 μm or less, preferably 5 to 10 μm.

  In this example, the second member 14 is configured such that the member 16 side is gold-plated, but the gold-plated base material is a paper, cloth, non-woven fabric, plastic film, or the like having flexibility that can be adapted to the shape of the skin. The base material may be any material. When this biobattery treatment tool is used by adhering to the skin, paper, cloth, non-woven fabric, or plastic film having flexibility that can be adapted to the shape of the skin is preferable, and by applying these materials, It is possible to further improve the skin contact feeling.

  The region where the member 14 is exposed to the skin side is not limited to the region shown in FIG. The point is that the biological battery may be configured between the member 12 and the region exposed on the skin side of the member 14.

  In the above embodiment, the first member 12 is formed of a material having a relatively small ionization tendency, and the second member 14 is formed of a material having a relatively large ionization tendency. Even if the second member 14 is formed of a material having a relatively large ionization tendency and a material having a relatively small ionization tendency, a biological battery is formed. Within range.

  In this case, the noble metal fine particles constituting the second member may be a noble metal or an alloy thereof that is less susceptible to chemical changes and has a higher electrode potential than the semiconductor particles that are to be the negative electrode. For example, gold (Au) silver (Ag), platinum group, and alloys thereof may be used. Although the particle diameter of the noble metal fine particles is not particularly limited, a finer particle diameter is preferable from the viewpoint of constituting a large number of biological battery units, but a coarser particle is handled from a manufacturing viewpoint. Cheap. If a compromise between the two is intended, for example, noble metal fine particles having an average particle diameter of 1 nm to 50 μm, an average particle diameter of 20 nm to 15 μm, an average particle diameter of 10 μm to 15 μm, and an average particle diameter of 20 nm to 40 nm can be used. However, the present invention is not limited to these fine particles.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described based on FIG.

  Dispersed on the biological battery binder substrate 20 shown in the figure are fine particles of the first member 22, fine particles of the second member 24, and fine particles 26 of a material that has conductivity and does not constitute an anode or cathode of the battery and does not have an ionization tendency. Thus, the blended binder 28 is applied and pasted.

  As the base material 20, any material can be applied as long as it can apply and paste a binder such as cloth and sheet. The substrate can be any stretchable binder. A form without a substrate (form of a coating agent) is also possible.

  Any material can be applied to the binder 28 as long as the fine particles can be dispersed and blended. For example, rubber-based adhesives, acrylic-based, silicon-based, and urethane-based binders can be used.

  In addition to the fine particles 26 having conductivity and not having an ionization tendency, the binder 28 may further include a member (fine particles) having a material whose ionization tendency is within the range of the first member and the second member. Is possible.

  Next, functions of “binder” and “member having conductivity but not ionization tendency (for example, carbon particles)” will be described.

  By the volume shrinkage due to the hardening of the binder, the first member and the second member (two kinds of conductive fillers of an anode and a cathode) in the binder are connected to exhibit conductivity. However, in order to constitute a biological battery, the first member and the second member (two kinds of conductive fillers of an anode and a cathode) must be exposed on the surface of the binder and contact the skin.

  The biological battery according to the present invention is in a state where the binder itself is not completely cured and maintains an adhesive state (that is, a state where the binder itself cannot be sufficiently contracted and cannot exhibit sufficient conductivity). It is also assumed to be used.

  In order to bring the bipolar filler into contact with the skin under conditions where volume shrinkage of the binder itself cannot be expected, the diameter of the anode / cathode filler (first member, second member) is increased and It is conceivable that a part is exposed. However, if the diameter of the anode / cathode filler (first member, second member) is made too large, the bondability (number of bonds) of the anode / cathode particles in the binder will be extremely lowered, and the conductivity cannot be maintained. . That is, the function as a biological battery is reduced.

  Therefore, in the present invention, by blending a third conductive material that fills the gap between the anode and cathode filler, that is, “a member that has conductivity but does not have an ionization tendency (for example, carbon)”, the binder itself is blended. The anode / cathode filler can be brought into contact with the skin even under conditions where volume shrinkage cannot be expected so much. Therefore, it is not necessary to unnecessarily increase the particle diameter of the anode / cathode filler, and as a result, the conductivity can be maintained. That is, the function as a biological battery can be maintained even under conditions in which the volume shrinkage of the binder itself cannot be expected so much.

  A suitable anode-cathode filler (first member, second member) and a third conductive material that fills the gap between the anode-cathode filler, ie, “a member that has conductivity but does not tend to ionize (for example, carbon The particle size of “)” is as follows.

(1) A third conductive material having a medium to small diameter that connects a large-diameter anode (up to about 200 μm) and a large-diameter cathode (up to about 200 μm), such as carbon (several tens of μm to nanosize).

(2) A small-diameter carbon that connects a large-diameter anode and a small-diameter cathode (can be nano-sized).

(3) Small-diameter carbon (nano-sized) that connects a medium-diameter anode (about 30 μm or less) and a small-diameter cathode (nano-sized).

(4) A small-diameter carbon that connects a small-diameter anode (nano-sized) and a small-diameter cathode (nano-sized).

(5) A mixture of two or more selected from (1) to (4).

  These suitable average particle diameters and blending ratios of the cathode filler and the third member are the same as those in the first embodiment. Moreover, the suitable average particle diameter of an anode filler is based on the average particle diameter of the cathode filler in 1st Embodiment. Furthermore, suitable particle diameters, blending ratios, and the like of members (for example, silver fine particles) having an ionization tendency between the first member and the second member blended as necessary are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In the second embodiment, if a conductive polymer is used instead of carbon, the conductive polymer can also serve as a binder.

(Third embodiment)
Further, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  The illustrated biological battery treatment device includes a binder in which fine particles of a first member 32, fine particles of a second member 34, and fine particles 36 of a material that has conductivity and does not have an ionization tendency are dispersed on a base material 30. 38 is applied and pasted.

  As the base material 30, any material can be applied as long as the binder can be applied and pasted, such as cloth and sheet. The base material can be either stretchable or non-stretchable.

  Any material can be applied to the binder 38 as long as it can disperse and blend the fine particles. For example, rubber-based adhesives, acrylic-based, silicon-based, and urethane-based binders can be used.

  In addition to the fine particles 36 of a material that has conductivity and does not tend to ionize, the binder 38 may further include a member (fine particles) of a material whose ionization tendency is within the range of the first member and the second member. Is possible.

The first member 32 and the second member 34 are disposed at locations separated from each other. For example, FIG.
According to this, it is arrange | positioned at the both ends of the strip | belt-shaped base material. The fine particles 36 of a material that has conductivity and does not have an ionization tendency are dispersed and blended between the first member 32 and the second member 34. A member (fine particles) of a material having an ionization tendency between the first member and the second member, which is blended as necessary, is also dispersed and blended between the first member 32 and the second member 34.

  The types of materials constituting these members, the particle diameters of fine particles, the blending ratio, and the like are in accordance with the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above. However, since the first member and the second member are each arranged on a part of the base material, the blending ratio is based on the arranged region.

  In the third embodiment, if a conductive polymer is applied as a material that has conductivity and does not have an ionization tendency, it itself serves as a binder, so that it is not necessary to add fine particles to the binder. The configuration is simplified.

(Fourth embodiment)
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a usage mode of the biological battery treatment device according to the fourth embodiment. This biological battery treatment device is configured by attaching a second base material 42 to a first base material 40. The shapes and thicknesses of the first base material 40 and the second base material 42 are arbitrary depending on the application, but here, a biological battery to be applied from the chest to the armpit will be described. The first base material 40 corresponds to the base material 30 of the third embodiment, and a specific example thereof conforms to the third embodiment. The 2nd base material 42 is the structure which apply | coated and stuck the thing which mixed the conductive filler appropriately in resin (adhesive). As the conductive filler, for example, gold, silver, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, or other metals that can achieve the purpose as a conductor may be used, but carbon is preferable as a general and inexpensive material regardless of the ionization tendency. The resin (adhesive) may contain only a conductive filler, and does not need to contain a positive / negative filler for constituting a battery.

  The first base material 40 has a belt shape suitable for being applied from the chest to the armpit, and a conductive anode 40a and a conductive cathode 40b that also function as a pedestal are provided on both sides thereof. The conductive anode 40a and the conductive cathode 40b correspond to the first member and the second member of the third embodiment. The shape of the conductive anode 40a and the conductive cathode 40b is arbitrary, but a round shape with no corners is preferable for contact. In particular, the dome shape is suitable for the skin-friendly shape. The conductive anode 40a may be an anode made of a solid noble metal, and the conductive cathode 40b may be a solid N-type semiconductor or a metal whose surface is an N-type semiconductor. However, considering the cost of the product, an appropriate process may be applied to a base made of an inexpensive resin to make them a conductive anode and a conductive cathode. For example, the conductive anode and the conductive cathode may be fitted or bonded to the base, and for example, plating, vapor deposition, sputtering, printing, or the like may be used. If a large number of electrodes are formed on the pedestal together with the positive and negative electrodes, a battery with a larger amount of current can be formed.

  The 2nd base material 42 is stuck on the 1st base material 40, and is stuck on a biological body (skin) at the time of use. The second base material 42 is longer in the width direction than the first base material 40 and shorter in the length direction than the first base material 40. Therefore, the conductive anode 40a and the conductive cathode 40b at both ends of the first base material 40 are in direct contact with the living body (skin) without passing through the second base material 42.

  Next, an operation and effect in the case where an attempt is made to regulate the flow of lymph in the body using the thus configured biological battery will be described.

  There are two flow paths in the lymph trunk of the lymph flow: the right lymph trunk and the thoracic duct. The provincial lymphatic trunk is a 1-3 cm lymphatic trunk that collects lymph in the upper right half. There is a right venous angle at the junction of the internal jugular vein and the subclavian vein, where it joins the vein. The thoracic duct is a lymphatic trunk with a length of 35 to 40 cm that collects lymph of the upper left body and lower body. The milky tank is the result of typhoon of the left and right intestinal lymph trunks and lumbar lymph trunks in front of the second lumbar vertebra. As this breast tank rises and enters the thoracic cavity, it becomes a thoracic duct.

  FIG. 5 shows a state where the biological battery according to the present invention is attached from the waist of the left half body to the armpit. Here, the first base material 40 is attached so as to cover the second base material 42, and the conductive anode and the conductive cathode are attached to both ends of the first base material 40.

  Due to the battery effect of the second base material 42, the portion along the lymph stem flow is activated and activated at the cell level. However, since the second base material 42 is formed of batteries at random, the direction of current is also random. On the other hand, in the battery made of the first base material 40, the anode and the cathode are respectively installed at the end portions, so that the direction of the current is determined in advance and reaches the deep portion.

  If the conductive anode is disposed on the lower side as shown in FIG. 5, a synergistic effect can be expected in that current flows from the waist to the armpit and the path is activated and activated by the battery action of the second base material 42.

(Fifth embodiment)
FIG. 6 shows a button-shaped biological battery. This biological battery includes a button-like pedestal 50, and this pedestal forms threading holes 52 and 52. In the illustrated example, two threading holes are formed, but the present invention is not limited to this. At least one surface of the pedestal has an ionization tendency that is formed of members (first member, second member) of at least two kinds of materials having different ionization tendencies, and has conductivity and neither of an anode and a cathode of the battery. A biobattery is formed by blending a member that does not have (by blending a third member having an ionization tendency between the first member and the second member if necessary). The method of configuring the biological battery is not particularly limited. For example, the configuration shown in FIG. 2, the configuration shown in FIG. 3, and the configurations shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are possible. And the function as a biological battery treatment tool can be exhibited by arrange | positioning the biological battery comprised in this way to the biological body (skin) side.

(Sixth embodiment)
FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the button-shaped biological battery treatment device. This biological battery treatment device includes a button-shaped pedestal 60, and this pedestal forms threading holes 62 and 62. Further, a cap-shaped battery 64 is provided on the pedestal.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (c), this cap-shaped battery constitutes a battery as a pair, and the member constituting the anode of the present invention is blended on the surface of one cap-shaped battery 64a, and the other cap-shaped battery. A member constituting the cathode of the present invention is arranged on the surface of the battery 64b, and is one end of a member 66 (for example, carbon yarn) that has conductivity and does not form any of the anode and cathode of the battery and does not have an ionization tendency. However, the other end is tied to the threading hole 62 of the pedestal in which the member constituting the cathode is arranged.

  As a result, the anode and the cathode are electrically connected via a member that has conductivity and does not form any of the anode and cathode of the battery and does not have an ionization tendency. And the function as a biological battery treatment tool can be exhibited by arrange | positioning these anodes 64a and cathodes 64b to the biological body (skin) side.

(Seventh embodiment)
8 to 12 show a chain-like biological battery treatment device that can be used as a necklace or the like, and FIG. 13 shows a tape-like material, a core material, and the like used in the manufacture of this embodiment.

  The so-called neck stiffness and shoulder stiffness, especially the neck stiffness, mainly the trapezius, scapulolevator, sternocleidomastoid, and oblique muscles project their heads forward by desk work or computer operation. It is said that by continuing for a long time, these muscles become tired and lactic acid accumulates, causing poor circulation. In particular, tension due to fatigue of the occipital and scapular muscles of the back of the head is the main factor.

  Various treatments are generally used for stiff neck and stiff shoulders. For example, a poultice or the like extinguishes inflammation with menthol or the like, or penetrates a drug such as felbinac or loxonin that reduces pain. However, these approaches are only temporary anesthetic procedures. For neck stiffness and shoulder stiffness, improvement of blood circulation is the most effective treatment, and low frequency treatment devices and massages are known as conventional treatment devices and treatment methods of this type. However, these temporarily stimulate the muscles and pump the muscles to promote blood circulation, but if the pumping is stopped, the blood circulation becomes poor again. In addition, it is impossible to continue to receive low frequency therapy equipment and massage during work. Muscle relaxants etc. are too dangerous to be used in general. In other words, there is no real cure.

  The biological battery type necklace proposed by the present inventors is a treatment device that solves these problems.

  When the biological battery is in contact with the skin, a weak current of about voltage 700 mV and current of several μA to 100 μA flows. This weak current stimulates polymodal receptors, which are nociceptors in the body, and CGRP causes blood flow by nerve reflex. In addition, since the biological battery is very small, it can be worn on the body at all times, unlike low-frequency treatment devices and massagers. That is, it continues to promote improvement of blood flow at all times.

  However, stiff neck and stiff shoulders result in poor circulation centering on the base of the neck. That is because the large muscles from the back to the neck, the trapezius and scapula levator muscles, the sternocleidomastoid muscle, and the oblique muscles are poorly circulated.

  Since these stiff portions are at the base of the neck, the present inventors put a ring-shaped biological battery such as a necklace around the neck, so that the trapezius, scapulolevator, sternocleidomastoid, and oblique muscles I found out that everything can be energized. In addition, it was found that concentrating the electrodes (electric flux) at the positions of the trapezius, scapulolevator, sternocleidomastoid, and oblique oblique muscles at the base of the neck had a greater effect.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a necklace is alternately configured with anodes 72 and negative electrodes 70, and these electrodes are in a state where the anodes 72 and the negative electrodes 70 are in direct contact using, for example, conductive chains (not shown). The anode 72 and the anode 70 are connected arbitrarily or alternately, and a clasp portion 76 is attached to both ends thereof to form a circular biological battery (necklace). Here, the anode 72 and the negative electrode 70 may be composed of the materials of the anode and the negative electrode themselves, or those whose surfaces are coated with the materials of the anode 72 and the negative electrode 70 may be used.

  A specific example of a method for producing these biological battery type necklaces will be described with reference to the illustrated necklace.

  First, a linear core 84 shown in FIG. 13B is prepared. The material of the core member 84 is not particularly limited as long as it is a material having good conductivity. For example, the core member 84 is made of titanium and has large-diameter convex portions 84a and 84a that are opposed to each other at a constant interval (after processing and forming). This core material can be cut by applying a tensile force of a predetermined level or more between the large-diameter convex portions 84a and 84a facing each other. The core material 85 is covered with a tape 82 as shown in FIG. 13A, and the spherical portion (ball chain) is a material that constitutes the cathode at locations corresponding to the large-diameter convex portions 84a and 84a of the core material 85. A large number of spherical portions 82a... Are sequentially formed so as to be formed (see FIG. 13B). In addition, a well-known and usual technique can be applied to the processing of the spherical portion. Next, by pulling the core member 84, the opposing large-diameter convex portions 84a and 84a are separated. As a result, the spherical portions are connected by a core material separated between the large-diameter convex portions 84a (connecting contact portions) (see FIG. 13B). Next, the clasp portions 76 are attached to both ends of the core material (see FIG. 8). Further, as shown in FIG. 13C, for example, a pair of substantially hemispherical members 86 that can be opened and closed are fixed in a spherical shape on the desired spherical portion. 70 is formed. As a result, the anode 70 and the negative electrode 72 in which a pair of hemispherical members are not fixed in a spherical shape are arbitrarily arranged. Since the core member 84 does not substantially contact the skin, the core member 84 has conductivity and does not constitute either an anode or a cathode, and is a member having no ionization tendency.

  As a pair of substantially hemispherical members 86 that can be opened and closed with a plurality of different materials, for example, a substantially hemispherical member composed of a member 70 that constitutes a negative electrode, a member 72 that constitutes an anode, and conductivity. Having a member 74 that does not have an ionization tendency and that does not constitute either an anode or a cathode, and further, a substantially hemispherical member in which two or more of members 70, 72, and 74 are mixed, is prepared in advance. By covering and fixing these substantially hemispherical members at appropriate locations in the desired spherical portion of each member according to the user's request, use location, application, etc., each user's request was met. Necklaces can be made as a single item.

  Although the manufacturing method of the necklace of FIG. 8 was demonstrated, the whole or a part of this manufacturing method is applicable also when manufacturing the necklace of FIGS. 10-12 mentioned later.

  The necklace of FIG. 9 is an anode 72 and a negative electrode 70 that are coated with a material of an anode and a negative electrode or a surface thereof with a material of an anode and a negative electrode, and the anode 72 and the negative electrode 70 are connected using, for example, a conductive joint 74, A ring-shaped biological battery (necklace) is formed by arbitrarily or alternately connecting the anode 72 and the negative electrode 70 in a state where they are not in direct contact, and attaching clasp portions 76 to both ends thereof.

  Since these chains can be mass-produced mechanically, they can be produced stably at low cost. However, although the members are alternately or randomly arranged as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, two kinds of members are combined. Mass production is not easy.

  The necklace in FIG. 10 is a ring-shaped biological battery (necklace) that solves these problems.

  In this annular biological battery, the entire necklace is made of a noble metal. This is selected not only from the appearance problem but also from the viewpoint of conductivity. That is, as long as it is a ring-shaped biological battery, conductivity is an indispensable element, and a material having even better conductivity is required. However, when chained, the chains are simply in contact with each other and are not firmly fixed, so the reality is a mass of contact resistance. Therefore, silver, copper, gold or the like having good conductivity is preferable from the viewpoint of conductivity. For this reason, in this embodiment, the entire necklace is composed of precious metal (for example: silver / gold) combs. And the clasp part 76 is comprised with a N-type semiconductor, and a battery is comprised as a whole.

  Further, the cathode 70 is concentrated and installed near the rear neck (right side in FIG. 10) to concentrate the current (electric flux). This can effectively stimulate the trapezius, scapulolevator, sternocleidomastoid, and oblique muscles. In particular, the current (electric flux) is concentrated on important parts such as the trapezius muscle and scapulolevator muscle of the back neck. However, in this case, a noble metal with a high price occupies the majority of the members and is an anode-rich structure, which is not economical. The anode and the anode may be reversed to make the anode rich, but the overall resistance increases by orders of magnitude.

  Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the present inventors propose a ball chain type wedge made of a noble metal (for example, silver / gold) as a whole on the negative electrode rich necklace. An anode-rich ball chain, such as a gold or silver ball chain, comprises a ball chain body made of brass or the like, which is plated with a chain to form a gold or silver ball chain.

  In this example, if the plating is performed in advance before manufacturing the comb, the plating is peeled off. In other words, when manufacturing the chain, the tape-shaped flat plate is pressed into several times to be processed into a spherical shape, and finally the spherical adjacent portions that are partially connected are cut into individual balls. This is because if the plate is rolled before being processed, the plate is peeled off. On the other hand, the joint material itself is pressed from the tape in the same way, forming a ball around the joint material continuously connected to each other, and finally receiving the press by simply pulling and cutting the joint material. is not. Therefore, the joint material can be pre-plated on silver or gold with low electrical resistance in advance after pressing, and the cathode material (zinc / titanium) is pressed into a spherical shape around it and processed into a ball chain. It is possible to obtain a circular biological battery that is rich in cathode and has good conductivity. Finally, the clasp portion is made of an N-type semiconductor or noble metal, and the battery is formed as a whole. Then, an anode is disposed on the cathode chain as necessary. In terms of location, the current (electric flux) is concentrated by installing it near the shoulder levator muscle, the sternocleidomastoid muscle, and the oblique muscle near the base of the shoulder on the side, not directly behind the neck. In particular, the trapezius and levator scapula muscles in the back neck are important parts. The anode may be formed by covering or printing the anode of the cathode chain.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, a metal wire 74 (copper wire, zinc wire, titanium wire, etc.) itself may be used instead of the metal cord, and the anode material or cathode material is impregnated, plated, or kneaded into the fiber. What is necessary is just to add metal by the method. You may comprise a cyclic | annular biological battery with resin or rubber | gum. As described above, when an anode filler is used for various resins and rubbers, an anode-rich annular biological battery is obtained, and when a cathode filler is used, it can be easily constructed. Then, a conductive material such as a conductive polymer or carbon may be appropriately added, or only an inexpensive conductive polymer can be used for the conductive material.

  Of course, in order to efficiently stimulate the trapezius, levator creator, sternocleidomastoid, and oblique muscles as well, the current (Dento) is concentrated mainly on the posterior cervical trapezius and scapulolevator muscles. This is more effective (see FIG. 12). Since the purpose is to concentrate the current (electric flux), the arrangement of the positive and negative electrodes may be reversed.

  FIG. 13A shows a tape-shaped base material 82 wound around a reel 80. On this base material, members constituting an anode and a cathode are previously applied and mounted by sputtering, vapor deposition, printing or other appropriate methods. By processing this base material into a chain, a necklace can be easily manufactured.

(Eighth embodiment)
FIG. 14 shows an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to an ultrasonic facial device (vibration masage device), where (a) is an overall view thereof, and (b) is a portion 92 (vibrator) that contacts the skin of the vibration massager. Indicates.
This vibration massager has a portion 92 (vibrator) that contacts the skin and a handle portion 94 (placed by hand), and the vibrator 92 that contacts the skin is made of, for example, a noble metal (including copper) as an anode, or is plated, vapor-deposited, Processed by coating such as sputtering, printing, painting, etc., made of N-type semiconductor with the handle part 94 (placed by hand) or part touched by hand as cathode, or plating, vapor deposition, sputtering, printing, It is made by processing by coating such as painting or other known methods. And it operates by electrically connecting with a vibrator. According to this bio-battery facial device (vibration massager), the weak current generated by the bio-battery has the effect of stimulating a blood flow by stimulating nociceptive receptors such as polymodal receptors in the skin. It also promotes a massage effect and synergistic effect by mechanical vibration. In addition, by using the skin contact side (the part that contacts the skin) as an anode, a current flows from the vibrator toward the skin, so that a so-called ion introduction effect is enhanced, and an active ingredient contained in cosmetics or the like is easily absorbed.

  The base material of the vibrator may be made of a noble metal, but the base material is made of a first N-type semiconductor, and a noble metal that can serve as an anode is plated, vapor deposited, sputtered, and printed on the island. Many current circuits can be formed by using a well-known method, such as a material processed by coating such as painting, and the effect is further improved. Further, a third conductor, for example, carbon (having conductivity, does not constitute the battery anode and cathode, and does not have an ionic tendency) is formed on the skin surface, and the anode and the inside of the binder are similarly formed. By enforcing, it is possible to increase the energization distance between the first N-type semiconductor of the vibrator base material and the noble metal, and the energization effect is increased.

  Furthermore, the handle portion is made of a second N-type semiconductor different from the first N-type semiconductor, so that an effect can be generated between the noble metal and the first N-type semiconductor and the second N-type semiconductor. Double. Also, the electrode can be easily multipolarized by coating the surface of the vibrator with a resin (binder) mixed with carbon and noble metal fine particles. The arrangement of the anode and the cathode can be reversed with respect to the skin and the handle as required.

(Ninth embodiment)
FIG. 15 shows one embodiment applied to a beauty roller.

  This beauty roller is made of precious metal (including copper) with the rotor 100 that touches the skin as an anode, or processed by coating such as plating, vapor deposition, sputtering, printing, painting, etc., and the handle part 102 (placed by hand) is entirely or A part that can be touched by hand is made of an N-type semiconductor or processed by coating such as plating, vapor deposition, sputtering, printing, painting, etc., and other well-known methods and functions by electrically connecting to the rotor To do.

  The weak current generated by the biological battery has the effect of stimulating blood flow by stimulating nociceptive receptors in the skin, such as polymodal receptors. It also promotes a mechanical massage effect and synergistic effect by rotation.

  In addition, by using the skin side as an anode, current flows from the rotor toward the skin, so that the so-called ion introduction effect is enhanced, and the active ingredients contained in cosmetics and the like are easily absorbed.

  The base material of the rotor may be made of noble metal, but the base material is made of the first N-type semiconductor, and the noble metal that can be used as the anode is plated, vapor deposited, sputtered, printed on the island. Many current circuits are formed and the effect is further improved by using a well-known method that is processed by coating such as painting. Further, a third conductor, for example, a carbon layer 104 (a material that has conductivity, does not constitute a battery anode or cathode and does not have an ionic tendency) is formed on the skin surface, and an anode is similarly formed thereon. As a result, the energization distance between the first N-type semiconductor of the roller base material and the noble metal can be extended, and the energization effect on the skin is increased. Furthermore, the handle 106 is made of a second N-type semiconductor different from the first N-type semiconductor, so that an effect can be generated even when the noble metal is in contact with the first N-type semiconductor and the second N-type semiconductor. Double (see FIG. 15B).

  Further, the rotating surface is made of a resin 108 (mixed with a third conductor such as carbon (a material that does not form an anode and a cathode of the battery and does not have an ionic tendency) and noble metal fine particles 110 (gold powder, silver powder) ( The anode can be easily multipolarized by coating with a binder) (see FIG. 15C). The arrangement of the anode and the cathode can be reversed with respect to the rotor and the handle as required.

  Furthermore, as a biological battery-type beauty roller that directly contacts the scalp and generates electricity without being disturbed by the hair, the roller 120 is extended into a needle shape as shown in Fig. 16 (a), and the hair is scraped. Presents a roller that allows direct contact with the scalp. In this case, the roller portion is assumed to be an anode and the handle 124 is assumed to be a cathode.

  FIG. 16B shows another example of the embodiment applied to a beauty roller.

In this example, two needle rollers 120 and 122 are mounted. Of course, it is preferable that three or more needle rollers are mounted. Each needle roller is connected via a spacer. Of course, it is possible to connect directly or a plurality of needle rollers integrally molded. However, if the same material is integrated, it will be regarded as one even if it touches two places. Only the circuit can be energized, but there is an advantage that a circuit is generated in each case through a spacer. Of course, each needle roller is electrically connected to the handle portion 124 inside the core member or the like.

  In the case of this embodiment, an electric current flows from the anode directly in contact with the scalp to the hand holding the handle. For example, a medicinal component of the hair restorer can be expected to have an ion introduction effect into the skin together with the electric current.

  Furthermore, the biological battery treatment tool of the present invention can be effectively applied to various devices.

  For example, when applied to an ultrasonic facial device, the ultrasonic facial device main body is used as a support, and the electromotive layer according to the present invention is formed on this (for example, the main body side is the positive electrode side and the side in contact with the face is the negative electrode side). Thus, the synergistic effect of the ultrasonic wave as the ultrasonic facial device and the current stimulation effect as the biological battery treatment device can be exhibited.

  Furthermore, it can be applied to a beauty roller.

  In addition, the electronasal layer according to the present invention is formed by forming the nasal cavity expansion member of the nasal cavity expansion tape with a conductive material. As the electromotive layer, for example, the positive electrode and the negative electrode may be formed as a whole even if one end is on the positive electrode side and the other end is on the negative electrode side. The nasal cavity expansion tape formed in this way has an effect of improving blood circulation disorders such as when the user has a nasal congestion. In addition, if the nasal cavity expansion tape thus configured is combined with a mask that can be bent along the shape of the nose through a conductive material such as a wire on the upper side, the conductive material such as a wire can be passed through. Furthermore, a current stimulation effect can be added.
