Description

  The present invention relates to a wearable massager that can be used daily at home without difficulty and that promotes hair growth.

  Today, it is said to be a stress society. Stress affects the hormonal balance of the human body and also affects blood flow and lymph flow. Along with changes in hormone balance due to aging, stress is recognized as a factor that inhibits hair growth. Hair thinning and hair loss are troublesome problems for both men and women, and the development of pharmaceuticals and hair restorers that promote hair growth is advancing day by day. However, pharmaceuticals have problems of side effects, and the hair restorer is expected to have a combined effect of hair washing method to remove dirt on the scalp, the effect of shampoo used, and scalp massage to penetrate hair restorer, etc. There is a problem that the effect varies depending on the method of use.

  Many massage devices that promote hair growth and hair growth have been proposed and are commercially available. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-11040 is a brush structure that can apply vibration and light stimulation to the scalp, and can promote hair growth and hair growth by using the brush with a flexible brush material. Is disclosed. Japanese Patent No. 5496042 discloses a hand-type technique that allows energization and light irradiation while massaging the scalp with the protrusions of a brush. Furthermore, JP-A-2006-22041 is a hand-type massager that can apply vibration stimulus of reciprocating motion not only to the scalp but also to the face and skin.

  It is known that the effect of hair growth and hair growth is enhanced by promoting blood circulation of the scalp and improving the flow of lymph. For example, head massage at specialty stores such as hair salons and beauty salons is a technique that sequentially massages not only the head but also a wide area including the ear circumference and neck circumference that promote lymph flow and blood circulation. By using careful massage for at least 30 minutes while making full use of techniques such as rubbing and tapping, the scalp and hair are made healthy and hair growth is realized. Therefore, it can be said that hair growth can be promoted by a measure for increasing the frequency of treatment in addition to the treatment area, treatment method, and treatment time, such as head massage at a specialty store.

  There has been proposed a massager that can be worn on the head and can be used for a long time. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-196006 is a stationary wearing device that can apply a vibration stimulus having a controlled frequency and amplitude to the entire scalp, and is generated by inducing skin reflex by the vibration stimulus and activating the scalp. Techniques for promoting hair are disclosed. JP-T-2006-537176 is a technique of a helmet-type multifunction massager that can massage not only the head but also the eye. Furthermore, Japanese Patent No. 5886264 is a technique that can massage the head and temples simultaneously with vibrating projections. With these fixed massagers, the user expects a long-term massage just by maintaining a relaxed posture.

JP 2011-11040 A Japanese Patent No. 5496042 JP-A-2006-22041 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2015-196006 JP-T-2006-537176 Japanese Patent No. 5886264

  Conventional head massagers for the purpose of hair growth and hair growth include hand-type techniques for stimulating the scalp with a brush or protrusion while being held by hand, or helmet-type techniques for covering the head. However, the hand type requires a hair-growing action by itself and is a method that depends on the user's perseverance and effort. For example, a hand type massage is performed while gripping for more than 30 minutes. There was a problem with difficulty. The fixed type that covers the head that can be expected to massage for a long time is mainly the scalp, and there are structural inadequacies to massage a wide area including around the ear and neck. Compared to massage, there was a problem that the treatment area was limited. Furthermore, the fixed type has a problem that the structure becomes more complicated when the massage area is expanded, and the operability for the user becomes more complicated.

  In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, it is a treatment method that can deal with a wide treatment area from the head to the neck like a head massage at a specialty store, and can massage any selected part sequentially, and the treatment time is The object is to provide a simple hair-promoting massager that can be carried out at least 30 minutes without difficulty and that can be used daily as a treatment frequency.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is not a conventional massager fixed to the head, but a wearing tool capable of contacting an arbitrary part in a wide region from the head to the neck, It is like a head massage at a specialty store by carefully studying a shape-variable and semi-fixed wearing device that can be worn as appropriate and can massage a wide area from the head to the neck sequentially while moving the wearing part in a timely manner. As a result, the present invention has been achieved by obtaining knowledge that a proper treatment area, treatment method, and treatment time can be reproduced every day at home.

The massage device of the present invention is a massage device that is attached to contact with any desired part from the head to the neck, and includes a main body portion made of an elastic material and a connecting portion, and the main body portion Includes a shape-retaining material that can be plastically deformed, and the connecting portion is composed of a composite material having flexibility and shape-retaining properties, and a pair of end portions of the connecting portion is connected to a pair of end portions of the main body portion. A control unit and a power source for controlling the vibration at any desired part of the main body part and the connecting part. Part.
Moreover, the massage device of the present invention is a massage device that comes into contact with and wears an arbitrary desired part from the head to the neck, and includes an annular main body made of an elastic material, A shape-holding material that can be plastically deformed is provided inside, a vibration generator is built in a desired part of the main body, and a control unit and a power supply unit that control vibration are provided at the desired part of the main body.

  In the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. The massage device of the present invention can be attached to any part from the head to around the ear and neck, and can apply vibration stimulation to the part selected by the built-in vibration generator. Lymph nodes are localized around the neck and ears. For example, there are superficial cervical and deep cervical lymph nodes on the side of the neck, and pre-auricular and post-auricular lymph nodes around the ear. By applying vibration stimulation to these lymph nodes, lymph flow can be improved, and waste and fatigue substances in the body can be efficiently discharged to promote blood circulation. In addition, there are blood vessels in the vicinity of the lymph nodes.For example, the external carotid artery and the external jugular vein flow around the neck and ears. Can improve. Furthermore, in the head, by stimulating three cutaneous muscles (frontal, occipital, and temporal), muscle fatigue can be alleviated and blood flow can be improved by restoring the original muscle function. Furthermore, in the parietal region, blood circulation can be promoted by applying vibration stimulation to the skin layer on the cap-shaped aponeurosis that connects the frontal and occipital muscles. In particular, the top of the head has thin skin and no muscles, and vibrational stimulation easily propagates to the bone surface. Therefore, it efficiently stimulates the root of the hair on the cap aponeurosis and connects the capillaries to the dermal papilla. It improves blood circulation in the blood vessels and enables activation of hair matrix cells.

  The physical vibration stimulation of the massage device of the present invention can sequentially stimulate a wide area from the head to the neck to improve blood circulation, promote blood circulation of the scalp and promote hair growth of the hair. Further, the massage device of the present invention has no risk of damaging the cuticle of the skin or hair, unlike the strong stimulation of rubbing and hitting the scalp and the stimulation of rubbing the scalp with the tip of the brush. The massage device is made of an elastic material that is comfortable even in contact with the skin and hair, and enables a long-term use, for example, a careful massage over 30 minutes.

The stopper mechanism can be embodied by making the end portion of the connecting portion 12 located in the hollow portion of the main body portion 11 large enough to close the through hole of the fixture 14.

  Next, the usage method of the massage device of this invention is demonstrated.

  5-8 is a specific example at the time of mounting | wearing of the massage device 1 of this invention. The loop composed of the main body part 11 and the connecting part 12 is plastically deformed and attached to a desired site. For example, FIG. 5 is an example of mounting on the head. FIG. 6 is an example of wearing from the top of the head to the back of the ear, and FIG. 7 is an example of wearing from the front of the ear to the lower jaw. FIG. 8 shows an example of wearing when worn on the neck. These are merely examples, and the massage device 1 of the present invention can be optionally attached to any part other than the described examples.

  Next, the mounting method of the massage device 1 of this invention is demonstrated. First, the size of the loop can be adjusted by sliding the connecting part 12. Next, the main body part 11 and the connecting part 12 that plastically deform the loop can be easily deformed with bare hands. Next, the power switch is turned on, the strength of vibration is selected, and the vibration motor is driven. It can be worn so as to be covered from the head by an operation of expanding the loop (however, a weak force that does not cause plastic deformation), and the main body 11 is brought into close contact with the skin and hair. The adhesiveness of the main body 11 can be finely adjusted by the connecting portion 12, for example, it is strongly attached by an operation of narrowing the ring of the connecting portion 12, and weakened by an operation of spreading the connecting portion 12. When moving the mounting part, adjust the loop shape again, and attach and detach as necessary to attach to the next part. These series of operations are repeated to continue the massage while changing the wearing site. It is not always necessary to turn off the vibration motor at the time of attaching / detaching, and it is possible to change the shape of the loop and attach / detach the loop simultaneously while continuing the vibration.

Next, a recommended example of the massage application time for each part will be described. Adjust the time in consideration of the presence of muscle and its thickness. Specifically, since the neck has thick muscles and a plurality of muscles are stacked, a long massage is preferable. In particular, the cervix is an important part for lymphatic and blood circulation promotion, for example, it continues for at least 3 minutes, and the wearing position is slightly shifted, for example, massage in several places such as under the neck, in the neck, above the neck Is preferred. Next, as is apparent from FIGS. 6 and 7, the massage around the ear can massage the head and neck and simultaneously apply vibration stimulation to the periphery of the ear. It is preferable to stimulate the lymph nodes evenly, evenly selecting before or after the ear. Next, as for the head massage, the muscles are cutaneous muscles and thin and slightly shorter massages are preferable. Furthermore, the top part, muscles scalp absent thin, more preferably short massage, for example, while a one to two minutes to move the mounting position as a guide, effectively prefer to Repetition rate massage the same site It is.

  Next, a recommended example of the order of massage parts will be described. Thinning and hair loss start from the hairline of the frontal head and the top of the head, and there are many patterns that spread gradually. The hair growth pattern progresses from the opposite hair part to the hair loss part, so the massage starts from the neck instead of being stimulated from the top of the head, then around the ears, and then the muscle region of the head The stimulation to the top of the head is preferable. The hair growth effect can be further enhanced in the order starting from the neck, around the ears, the hair part of the head, and finally the hair removal part of the head.

  The massage device of the present invention has a function of selecting the intensity of vibration and can maintain a comfortable massage according to the user's preference. For example, in a region where muscles are thick, it is possible to experience a feeling of massage more by increasing vibration stimulation. On the contrary, the part where the muscle is thin or the part where the muscle does not exist can be dealt with by weakening the vibration stimulation. The power supply unit is a rechargeable battery type, and can be used outside the home, for example, on business trips or travel destinations, and can be used every day.

  In specialized head massage stores, olive oil and aroma oil are used. Moisturizes and slips hair, and can be expected to relax and promote blood circulation. The massage device of the present invention does not limit the use of these oils, and may or may not be used. The massage device of the present invention does not move the hair and does not hinder the use of oil or the like. Moreover, although the massage device of the present invention is basically used alone, it does not limit the use of the hair restorer. However, since the massage device of the present invention promotes the secretion of sebum and sweat by vibration stimulation, it is recommended that the shampoo removes sebum dirt after the massage, and the use of the hair-restoring agent is after the shampoo.

  The massage device of the present invention was created for those who have difficulty in frequent visits to external specialist stores, and the user can freely select the massage site and the massage application time, and the user's thin hair and hair loss It is possible to effectively promote the growth of hair by applying massage in the reverse order of the pattern. In order to promote hair growth, it is necessary to carry out a massage for at least about 30 minutes every day. If time permits, there is no problem even if the use is doubled for 60 minutes. As long as a pleasant massage continues, the massage device of the present invention Can be used. It is known that hair grows most during night sleep. By properly using the massage device of the present invention, hair growth can be realized after 3 to 4 months at the latest. During massage, it is preferable to relax as much as possible. You can sit on a chair or sofa, lie on the floor, etc. Also, you can enjoy reading and watching TV while you are massaged. Use is also possible.

  The above-described embodiment is an exemplification, and the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the control unit 16 and the power supply unit 17 are arranged in the center of the main body 11 as protruding shapes, but are provided in the hollow portion of the main body 11 to provide the protruding portions. Alternatively, the control unit 16 and the power supply unit 17 may be arranged in the connecting unit 12 instead of in the main body unit 11. Furthermore, the both ends of the main body part 11 may be joined to form a loop only with the main body part 11, and the connecting part 12 may not be provided. Furthermore, although the main body part 11 and the connecting part 12 are curved, only the skin contact surface has a curved surface, it is not necessary to be a curved surface over the entire circumferential direction, and there is no hindrance to plastic deformation of the loop. The shape can be changed as long as there is no problem.

  The present invention is effective for people suffering from thinning hair and hair loss, and is indispensable for hair growth and hair growth in people who are in a stressful environment and who are troubled by thinning hair or hair loss that is a further stress factor. There can be no demand as a necessity.
