Description

  The present invention relates to a device for stimulating the acupoints of the palm and / or for enhancing the muscular strength to bend from the tip of the nail to the second joint in the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of the hand, and in particular , A device that is comfortable when gripped by the palm of the hand, and that can efficiently stimulate the acupoints of the palm, and / or a force equivalent to an intermediate position between finger pressure and grip strength, specifically, The present invention relates to a device for strengthening the force to bend from the tip of the nail to the second joint in the index finger, middle finger and ring finger.

The thing which provided the some protrusion in the part grasped with the hand of daily necessities and an instrument in order to stimulate the point of a palm is proposed.
For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 06-254177 (Patent Document 1) discloses a structure in which a plurality of protrusions are provided on a hand portion of an iron array, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-112122 (Patent Document 2). , An umbrella provided with a plurality of protrusions in the grip part of the handle is disclosed, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 08-182716 (Patent Document 3) discloses a massage health device having a large number of protrusions, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-333958 (Patent Document 4) discloses a hand and foot or other urticane simultaneous stimulation device in which a plurality of urinal stimulation projections are fixed to the surface of a rod-like body that can be grasped by a palm.

On the other hand, methods for strengthening hand strength include methods for strengthening grip strength and finger pressure.
Strengthening the grip strength is to strengthen the muscle strength from the four fingers except the thumb to the palm. As a method for strengthening the grip strength, for example, it is generally strengthened by using a device such as a hand gripper. Has been done. The finger pressure enhancement is to strengthen the force of pressing with a finger, and as a method of enhancing finger pressure, for example, it is generally performed by performing exercise such as finger push-up. ing.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 06-254177 JP-A-08-112122 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-182716 JP 2001-333958 A

As shown in Patent Documents 1 to 4, there has been proposed a device in which a plurality of protrusions are provided on a portion held by a hand of daily necessities or instruments in order to stimulate acupoints of the palm.
However, the size, shape, and hardness of the protrusions described in each of the above documents are various and inconsistent, and the distribution ratio of the protrusions per unit volume is also various and inconsistent. . In addition, the devices provided with the protrusions described in the above-mentioned documents have not been sufficiently considered with respect to the grip comfort.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an instrument that can comfortably and efficiently stimulate the acupoints of the palm when grasped with the palm.

On the other hand, in relation to strengthening the strength of the hand, for example, in baseball hitting, an excellent way to grip the bat is to hook the bat with four fingers of the hand (indicator, middle finger, ring finger and little finger), It is known that it can be used only by attaching it lightly, and by doing so it can soften and use the wrist softly, but in this way, the four fingers of the hand (indicator, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger) In order to hold the bat by simply hooking the bat, it will be important to strengthen the bending force from the tip of the nail to the second joint on the three fingers of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger Can understand.

  However, even if finger pressure is strengthened to acquire the excellent way to grip the bat as described above, it is not possible to grip the bat by itself, and it is also necessary to strengthen the grip strength and hold the bat with the grip strength. This time, too much force is applied to the hand and it becomes difficult to use the wrist softly, so it becomes difficult to wear the excellent bat gripping method as described above, and as a result, to master the excellent bat gripping method On the other hand, it can be a hindrance.

The excellent way to grip the bat as described above, that is, how to grip the bat with the four fingers of the hand (indicator, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger) and just attach the thumb gently, is excellent in golf clubs. It is also common to the good grip of bamboo swords in kendo and kendo, the good grip of rackets in tennis and badminton, and good hand use in other sports and competitions, so It is expected that excellent results can be achieved in a number of sports and competitions as described above if the force of flexing the nail tip from the tip of the nail to the second joint can be strengthened. .
However, as far as the inventor knows, no proposal has been made for a device that can effectively enhance the force of bending the fingertip, middle finger, and ring finger from the tip of the nail to the second joint.

  Therefore, the further subject of this invention is providing the instrument which reinforces the muscular strength which bends from the front-end | tip of a nail in a finger | toe of a hand, a middle finger, and a ring finger to a 2nd joint.

As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventor,
As an instrument for stimulating the acupuncture points of the palm, an elastic body is used which has a back part in contact with the palm, a side part with a curved shape that is easily gripped, and a front part that is gripped by the terminal joints of five fingers. And a plurality of protrusions for pressing the acupuncture points of the hand are provided on the portion of the back surface facing the palm, and a plurality of protrusions are formed on the front surface. Grooves are formed between the parts, and the hardness of the elastic body is E35 to E60, and the plurality of protrusions are formed at a rate of 5 to 6 per 10 cm ² , and all or one of the protrusions is formed. The part is a cone having a bottom diameter of 9 to 11 mm, an apex angle of 80 to 100 degrees, and the apex may be a curved surface, and the groove has a length of 5 to 7 cm and a width of 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm and the bottom of the groove When the thickness of the elastic body is 1.5 cm to 2.5 cm, the obtained device is found to be a device that is comfortable to grip and can stimulate the acupoints of the palm efficiently. As a device for enhancing the muscular strength that bends from the tip of the nail to the second joint in the middle finger and the ring finger, the entire index finger of the hand, the middle finger and the ring finger, and from these base nodes to at least the middle part of the palm A device having a size that occupies a range is integrally formed with an elastic body, and at this time, a flat part that faces the most part of the part extending from the base of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger to at least the center part of the palm. A first convex portion that is in contact with the distal end of the finger, middle finger, and ring finger when the instrument is gripped with the five fingers of the hand, and a portion that is in contact with the distal end of the thumb and little finger. Two convex portions, the first convex portion and the second convex portion And the groove between the first and second joints of the index finger, the middle finger, and the ring finger. It has also been found that the body can be pinched, thereby effectively enhancing the muscular strength of flexing from the tip of the nail to the second joint in the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of the hand, and the present invention has been completed.
