Description

  The present invention relates to a beauty tool which can be worn on a part of the body such as a calf, a knee, a thigh (thigh), an abdomen, an upper arm, an elbow, a wrist, a heel, an ankle, a face, a neck, a decollete, and a nail area. About. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cosmetic tool useful as an edema improvement device, a beautiful skin device, a moisturizing cover, a sweat-promoting device, a fatigue recovery device, a slimming device, and a pore removing device.

  In modern society, an increasing number of people are suffering from swelling (edema) of calves. Edema is caused by the retention of lymphatic fluid in various parts of the body. Moisture retention is a phenomenon that occurs remarkably when the same posture is continued for a long time, and is particularly likely to occur in the lower body. Here, as a garment for preventing the accumulation of water in the calf, there is a sock which has an effect of applying pressure to the calf during wearing to push back water containing lymph fluid to the upper part of the body (see Patent Document 1). In addition, a covering tool has been developed that can obtain the same effect on edema of the thigh and edema of the upper arm and the like.

  Further, although the technical fields are different, it is known to cover the wound with a waterproof cover so as to prevent the diseased part from getting wet with water and entering bacteria when bathing after suturing the wound or after surgery (Patent Reference 2). Such a waterproof cover is formed in a bag shape so as to cover an affected part, and a mechanism for waterproofing is provided in an opening for inserting an arm or the like, and water enters from the opening. It is designed to prevent that.

<Coating tool 1>
〔overall structure〕
FIG. 1 is a view showing an overall configuration of a covering tool 1 applied to a calf, which is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1A shows a left side view, and FIG. 1B shows a rear view. The covering tool 1 has a substantially cylindrical shape having upper and lower openings 10A and 10B at upper and lower ends, respectively, as openings at both ends, and is made of a material having elasticity and waterproofness. In the present embodiment, since the covering tool 1 is applied to the calf, the diameter of the upper opening 10A is set to be larger than the diameter of the lower opening 10B, so that the diameter gradually decreases from the upper part to the lower part. ing. The entire covering tool 1 is set to have a smaller diameter than the calf so that the covering tool 1 can be stretched during wearing and a predetermined pressure is applied to the calf. In addition, a support portion 20 which is a thick portion is formed on the outer surface of the covering tool 1. The support part 20 is a part of the covering tool 1 and is formed integrally with the covering tool 1.

〔material〕
As a material for forming the coating tool 1, an elastomer is suitable. Elastomer is a general term for materials having rubber elasticity. Generally, silicone rubber is known as an elastomer having both elasticity and waterproofness. However, the material forming the covering tool 1 is not limited to silicone rubber, and may be another material as long as it has elasticity and waterproofness.

[Elasticity and waterproofness of the covering tool 1]
The elasticity of the covering tool 1 is not particularly limited as long as it can be stretched during wearing and a predetermined pressure can be applied to the calf. Due to the elasticity of the covering tool 1, a restoring force for returning the stretched shape to the original shape is used as a force for pulling the skin.

  The waterproofness of the covering tool 1 is such that when the bathing or bathing (pool, sea, river, lake, pond, etc.) is carried out while the covering tool 1 is worn, water does not enter the inside of the covering tool 1. However, there is no particular limitation. Since the elastomer has a self-adhesive property, the covering tool 1 sticks to the skin of the user, and can maintain the shape of the attached state, and prevents water from entering when the covering tool 1 is worn and bathed. Can be prevented.

(Type E durometer hardness)
The lower limit of the type E durometer hardness of the coating tool 1 is preferably 1 or more, and more preferably 3 or more. If the type E durometer hardness is too small, the covering tool 1 is too soft, and the force given to the part to be mounted may be insufficient.

  In addition, the upper limit of the type E durometer hardness of the coating tool 1 is preferably 30 or less, more preferably 20 or less, still more preferably 10 or less, and even more preferably 8 or less. . If the type E durometer hardness is too large, a sufficient force is applied to the site to be mounted, but the self-adhesiveness is reduced, and the state of sticking to the site to be mounted may not be maintained. It can also affect the waterproofness of the covering tool 1.

  In the present embodiment, the type E durometer hardness of the coating tool 1 (molded body of the above-mentioned material) is JIS K6253-3: 2012 “Vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic rubber—How to determine hardness—Part 3: Durometer hardness Of the type E durometer measured at an ambient temperature of 23 ± 2 ° C.

The coating tool 1 in the embodiment is made of an elastomer such as silicone rubber, and the thermal conductivity of the elastomer is 0.10 W / m · K or more. In addition, if the material constituting the coating tool 1 does not contain a thermally conductive additive, the thermal conductivity of the elastomer is generally 0.50 W / m · K or less. By adding an additive such as an organic fiber filler, the thermal conductivity of the elastomer can be made much larger than 0.50 W / m · K. As the thickness of the coating tool 1 is smaller and the thermal conductivity is larger, the heat of the warm water in the bathtub can be transmitted to the wearer as it is when the user bathes while wearing the coating tool 1, and a higher warm bath effect is obtained. Can be As a result, the blood flow and the flow of lymph are promoted, and the effect of pushing up the lymph that tends to stay in the lower body is obtained. Further, the synergistic effect of the pressurizing effect and the warm bath effect by the covering tool 1 itself further prevents edema. It is possible to obtain an effect, a beautiful skin effect, a moisturizing effect, a sweating effect, a slimming effect, and an effect of removing dirt from pores.

[Support unit 20]
The support part 20 is provided for fixing and supporting the gastrocnemius muscle (Hifukun) constituting the calf. The support portion 20 is a portion which is made thicker than other portions constituting the covering tool 1 and has a shape capable of supporting the gastrocnemius muscle. That is, the support portion 20 includes a portion formed at the center in the up-down direction along the center of the gastrocnemius, and a V-shaped portion formed along the left and right ends of the gastrocnemius. The portion formed at the center has a lower end at a position corresponding to the lower end of the inner gastrocnemius muscle and the outer gastrocnemius muscle, and is formed up to the upper end, that is, the upper opening 10A. The portion formed at the center can maintain the shape of the muscle and prevent the loss of the pumping effect by the muscle. The V-shaped portion formed along the left and right ends includes a portion along the inner end of the inner gastrocnemius and a portion along the outer end of the outer gastrocnemius. With this V-shaped portion, the gastrocnemius muscle can be supported from both ends, and the gastrocnemius muscle can be stabilized.

  In the present embodiment, the thickness of the support portion 20 is the same without being different from place to place. In addition, a portion formed in the center of the support portion 20 and a portion formed in a V-shape on the left and right are formed so as to gradually increase in width from a lower portion to an upper portion. With this configuration, it is possible to more reliably and stably support the gastrocnemius muscle and maintain the function of the muscle, thereby preventing the water containing lymph from staying.

[Waterproof part 30]
FIG. 2 is an AA cross-sectional view of the covering tool 1 shown in FIG. The upper opening 10A and the lower opening 10B of the covering tool 1 are provided with waterproof portions 30A and 30B on their inner surfaces to prevent water from entering the inside of the covering tool 1 during wearing. In the present embodiment, the waterproof portions 30 </ b> A and 30 </ b> B are formed of three ridges formed on the inner peripheral surface of the covering tool 1 in the circumferential direction.

  Each of the waterproof portions 30A and 30B in the present embodiment is formed of three convex ridges having a substantially rectangular cross section provided on the inner peripheral surfaces of the upper opening 10A and the lower opening 10B, respectively. The radial height of the ridge is the highest on the outermost ridge, and the height of the two inner ridges is set lower than the height of the outermost ridge. In this case, the heights of the two inner ridges are set to be the same, but the outermost ridges are the highest, the innermost ridges are the lowest, and the middle ridges are the same. The configuration may be such that the portion has an intermediate height.

[Rib 40]
In the present embodiment, on the inner peripheral surface of the covering tool 1, a rib 40 formed in the circumferential direction and formed of a ridge having a substantially square cross section is provided. The rib 40 is provided to fix the gastrocnemius muscle and maintain its shape, and is provided at a position corresponding to the lower end of the gastrocnemius muscle. That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the support portion 20 is provided, the rib 40 is provided at the same position as the starting point of the support portion 20. As described above, by using the support portion 20 and the rib 40 together, the shape of the gastrocnemius muscle can be maintained, and the loss of the pumping effect by the muscle can be further prevented. The rib 40 does not necessarily need to be used in combination with the support portion 20, and the rib 40 alone may have the function of maintaining the gastrocnemius muscle without the support portion 20.

〔how to use〕
In order to wear the covering tool 1 formed in this manner, first, a toe is inserted through the upper opening 10A. Then, the part near the ankle is taken out from the lower opening 10B, and the upper opening 10A is pulled up so that the support part 20 is located near the gastrocnemius muscle of the calf, and the wearing is completed. At this time, since the entire covering tool 1 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the calf, it is necessary to insert a finger through the upper opening 10A and to pull the covering tool 1 upward while expanding the covering tool 1. Since the waterproof portion 30A composed of the ridge portion of the book is formed, the upper opening 10A can be smoothly pulled up by putting a finger on the ridge portion.

  During wearing, since it has a smaller diameter than a part of a human body to be worn and has openings at both ends, a high moisturizing effect can be obtained without losing moisture of the skin. In addition, pressure is applied to the gastrocnemius muscle constituting the calf in order to press the calf in close contact with the fabric forming the covering tool 1 in a stretched state. This has the effect of preventing lymph from staying in the vicinity of the calf and edema can be prevented. Further, since the covering device 1 is formed with the support portion 20 for fixing the gastrocnemius muscle and holding the muscle, the pumping effect by the muscle can be maintained without breaking the shape of the gastrocnemius muscle, and further edema prevention can be prevented. The effect of can be obtained. Further, since the ribs 40 are formed inside the covering tool 1 at positions corresponding to the lower end of the gastrocnemius muscle, the shape of the gastrocnemius muscle is maintained in addition to the effect of the support portion 20, and the pumping effect by the muscle is improved. Can be further improved.

  In addition, the covering tool 1 may be worn on bare skin, but the effect can be improved by applying oil having a tightening effect or a massage effect to the skin, and then wearing the covering tool 1 thereon. That is, in addition to the pressurizing effect and the gastrocnemius muscle supporting effect of the covering tool 1, the effect of the oil is added, so that a further edema prevention effect can be obtained. Also, by applying oil, friction between the skin and the fabric is eliminated, and smooth wearing becomes possible. As the oil to be applied to the skin, a so-called aroma oil having a scent can be applied in addition to the one having a tightening effect and a massage effect.

  In addition, by taking a bath while wearing the covering tool 1 of the present embodiment, an effect of preventing edema can be expected. That is, since the covering tool 1 in the embodiment is made of an elastomer such as a thin silicone rubber, it has a high thermal conductivity, and a higher warm bath effect can be obtained by bathing while wearing it. As a result, the blood flow and the flow of lymph are promoted, and the effect of pushing up the lymph that tends to stay in the lower body is obtained. Further, the synergistic effect of the pressurizing effect and the warm bath effect by the covering tool 1 itself further prevents edema. The effect can be obtained.

  In addition, since the covering tool 1 in the embodiment is made of an elastic elastomer, the covering tool 1 has a predetermined thickness before being attached to a human body, and has a predetermined thickness after being attached to a human body. Can be made as thin as possible. If the coating tool 1 is too thin, it affects the ease of mounting the coating tool 1, but by providing the coating tool 1 with elasticity, the coating tool 1 is given a predetermined thickness before mounting on a human body. Easy installation can be ensured.

  On the other hand, the covering tool 1 can be made as thin as possible after being attached to the human body. As the thickness of the coating tool 1 is thinner, the heat loss due to the elastomer is suppressed, and when the user bathes while wearing the coating tool 1, the heat of the hot water in the bathtub can be transmitted to the wearer as it is, and a higher warm bath effect Is obtained. As a result, the blood flow and the flow of lymph are promoted, and the effect of pushing up the lymph that tends to stay in the lower body is obtained. Further, the synergistic effect of the pressurizing effect and the warm bath effect by the covering tool 1 itself further prevents edema. It is possible to obtain an effect, a beautiful skin effect, a moisturizing effect, a sweating effect, a fatigue recovery effect, a slimming effect, and a pore dirt removing effect.

  And since the waterproofing parts 30A and 30B are provided in the upper opening 10A and the lower opening 10B in the covering tool 1 in this embodiment, it is possible to prevent hot water stretched in the bathtub from entering between the covering tool 1 and the skin. Can be prevented. That is, each of the waterproof portions 30A and 30B is formed with three ridges, and these ridges bite into and adhere to the skin, thereby preventing water from entering.

  At this time, since the ridge has a substantially square cross section, a wide area where the ridge and the skin are in close contact with each other can be ensured widely, and water intrusion can be reliably prevented.

  In addition, the radial height of the ridges is set so that the outermost ridges are higher than the two inner ridges, so that the intrusion of water at the end of the covering tool 1 is ensured. Has a function to prevent. In addition, since the height of the outermost ridge portion is the highest, the covering tool 1 can be pulled up without distortion when worn. That is, since the covering tool 1 according to the present embodiment has elasticity as a whole and has a smaller diameter than the calf, if the height of the three ridges is the same, a finger is put through the upper opening 10A. When the covering tool 1 is pulled upward while spreading, the fingers may not be caught well, and the shape after wearing may be distorted. In such a case, the waterproof portions 30A and 30B do not function, and water enters. In the present embodiment, since the radial height of the outermost ridge is set higher than the inner two ridges, the outermost ridge is easy to put a finger on. ing. Therefore, the covering tool 1 can be pulled up without distortion, and the effects of the waterproof portions 30A and 30B can be sufficiently exhibited.

  Due to such functions of the waterproof portions 30A and 30B, the covering tool 1 according to the present embodiment is used not only for the purpose of preventing swelling but also as a waterproof cover for preventing wounds or the like from getting wet when bathing. Can be. In this case, even if water infiltrates from the upper opening 10A and / or the lower opening 10B, since the covering tool 1 is formed to have a small diameter so as to be in close contact with the calf, it is possible to prevent water from reaching the affected part. Can be. Therefore, by attaching the covering tool 1 in the present embodiment to the affected part, it is possible to take a bath with confidence.

  While one embodiment for carrying out the present invention has been described above, another embodiment will be described below.

  FIG. 3 shows the structure of various types of waterproof parts 30A. A desired function can be obtained depending on the radial height and shape of the ridge. Note that the waterproofing portion 30B in the lower opening 10B has the same structure as the waterproofing portion 30A in the upper opening 10A except that it is upside down, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  The waterproof part 30A shown in FIG. 3A has the same type of structure as that shown in FIG. That is, the waterproof portion 30A is composed of three ridges 31A, 32A, and 33A having a substantially square cross section and provided on the inner peripheral surface of the upper opening 10A in the circumferential direction. The radial height of the ridges is the highest on the outermost ridges 31A, and the height of the two inner ridges 32A, 33A is set lower than the height of the outermost ridges 31A. Have been. In this case, the heights of the two inner ridges 32A and 33A are set to be the same, but the outermost ridge 31A is the highest and the innermost ridge 33A is the lowest. Alternatively, the middle ridge 32A may have a middle height.

  In this case, as described above, since the outermost ridge 31A is set higher than the two inner ridges 32A and 33A, the intrusion of water is surely prevented at the end of the covering tool 1. It has a function to do. In addition, since the finger is easily put on the outermost ridge 31A, the covering tool 1 can be pulled up without distortion when worn.

  A waterproof part 30A shown in FIG. 3B is a modification of the waterproof part 30A shown in FIG. That is, the heights of the outermost ridge portion 31A and the middle ridge portion 32A are the same as the waterproof portion 30A shown in FIG. 3A, but the height of the innermost ridge portion 33A is the highest. The height is set to be the same as the height of the outer ridge 31A.

  In this case, the height of the innermost ridge 33A is set as high as the height of the outermost ridge 31A. The covering tool 1 can be pulled up so as to be worn without distortion. In addition, even if water invades through the ridges 31A and 32A, an effect is obtained that the intrusion of water can be reliably prevented in the ridge 33A.

  The waterproof part 30A shown in FIG. 3 (c) further shows a modification of the waterproof part 30A shown in FIG. 3 (b). That is, the protruding portion 34A is further provided inside the protruding portion 33A, and the height of the protruding portion 34A is set lower than the protruding portions 31A and 33A, similarly to the height of the protruding portion 32A.

  In this case, the effect of preventing water from entering can be improved by the function of the four ridges. In addition, since the height of the innermost ridge 34A is set to be low, it does not give an excessive feeling of pressure on the calf, and maintains a comfortable wearability that can withstand wearing for a long time while preventing water from entering. The effect can be improved.

  The waterproof part 30A shown in FIG. 3D further shows a modification of the waterproof part 30A shown in FIG. 3C. That is, the height of the innermost protruding portion 34A is set as high as the outermost protruding portion 31A, and the height of the protruding portion 33A is the same as the height of the protruding portion 32A. It is set lower than the height.

  In this case, the effect of preventing water from entering can be improved by the function of the four ridges. Further, since the height of the innermost protruding portion 34A is set as high as the height of the outermost protruding portion 31A, it is easy to put a finger on the innermost protruding portion 34A, so that the innermost protruding portion 34A is more securely covered. The tool 1 can be pulled up so as to be worn without distortion. Further, even if water invades through the ridges 31A, 32A, 33A, an effect is obtained that the intrusion of water can be reliably prevented in the ridges 34A.

  The waterproof part 30A shown in FIGS. 3E and 3F is an example in which the shape of the ridge is changed. That is, although the cross-sectional shapes of the ridge portions 31A to 34A of the waterproof portion 30A shown in FIGS. 3A to 3D are substantially rectangular, FIGS. 3E and 3F show the same. The cross section of the projected ridges 31A to 33A of the waterproofing part 30A shown has a mountain shape in which the width of the base end is wide and the width of the tip end is narrow. FIG. 3E shows an example in which the cross sections of the ridges 31A to 33A are reduced linearly, and FIG. 3F shows an example in which the cross sections of the ridges 31A to 33A are reduced in a curve.

  When the cross-sectional shape of the ridge is a mountain shape with a wide base end and a narrow width at the tip, the ridge does not fall down when worn. That is, since the covering tool 1 is elastic and has a smaller diameter than the calf, it can be lifted upward while being in close contact with the shin or calf when worn. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3D, if the cross-sectional shape of the ridge is substantially rectangular, the ridge may fall down. If the ridges fall down, the force with which the ridges are pressed against the calves is weakened, and the waterproof function as a waterproof part cannot be exhibited. In the present embodiment, since the cross-sectional shape of the ridge is a mountain shape with a wide base end and a narrow width at the tip, the ridge does not fall down when worn, and has a stable waterproof effect. Can be demonstrated.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3E, the cross sections of the ridges 31A to 33A are linearly reduced, and have a substantially triangular cross section. In this case, as described above, it is possible to prevent the ridge portion from falling down and fail to exhibit the waterproof function, and it is possible to exert a reliable waterproof effect by the ridge portion. That is, since the cross-sections of the ridges 31A to 33A are substantially triangular, they can easily penetrate the skin and can more reliably prevent water from entering.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3 (f), the cross sections of the protruding ridges 31A to 33A are curvilinearly reduced, and the cross section at the tip has a substantially semicircular shape or a substantially parabolic shape. In this case, it is possible to prevent the ridge portion from falling down and to exert the waterproof function as described above, and to obtain more comfortable wearability. In other words, since the tips of the ridges have a smooth curved surface, they have little irritation to the skin, and the ridges can fall down and exhibit a waterproof function while maintaining comfortable wearability that can withstand long-time wearing. It can be prevented from disappearing.

  3 (e) and 3 (f) can be used in combination with the pattern of the ridges shown in FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (d). Alternatively, it is also possible to make the heights of the plurality of ridges the same, and to make only the cross-sectional shape into a mountain shape as shown in FIGS. 3 (e) and 3 (f).

[Thick part 50]
In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the waterproof portion 30A has a structure in which a ridge is provided on the inner peripheral surface near the upper opening 10A. However, as shown in FIG. 4, the outer peripheral surface near the upper opening 10A is provided. It is good also as a structure which has a thick part 50 in a part. That is, by forming the outer peripheral surface of the region where the protruding ridges 31A to 34A are provided to be thicker than the portion constituting the entire coating tool 1, the upper opening 10A can be made to have a structure that is difficult to deform. Thus, it is possible to more strongly prevent water from entering from outside.

  The thick portion 50 on the outer peripheral surface in the vicinity of the upper opening 10A may be provided together with the ridges 31A to 34A on the inner surface, or may be provided alone without the ridges 31A to 34A. Is also good. In the case where the thick portion 50 is provided alone without providing the protruding ridge portions 31A to 34A, the structure becomes simpler, so that the covering tool 1 capable of maintaining the waterproof function while suppressing the manufacturing cost is suppressed. It can be.

  In the present embodiment, the thick portion 50 is provided only on the outer peripheral portion of the upper opening 10A, but the thick portion 50 may be provided on the outer peripheral portion of the lower opening 10B.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 4, when the thick portion 50 is provided on the outer peripheral surface near the upper opening 10 </ b> A, the support portion 20 and the thick portion 50 have the same thickness, so that the support portion 20 is formed. The thick portion 50 and the thick portion 50 may be connected without any step.

  In the above-described embodiment, the thickness of the support portion 20 is configured to have the same thickness in the portion formed at the center in the up-down direction and the V-shaped portion on the left and right. However, as shown in FIG. 5, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the thickness gradually increases from below to above. With such a configuration, since the support force can be gradually increased upward, a covering tool having a function of effectively pushing up water containing lymph fluid by utilizing a gradient of the support force. It can be.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the covering tool 1 is configured to be worn on the calf is shown.

  As described above, the covering tool 1 can be applied to various cosmetic effects, for example, an edema prevention effect, a beautiful skin effect, a moisturizing effect, a sweating effect, a fatigue recovery effect, a slimming effect, and a pore dirt removing effect.

  Further, since the tensile strength of the covering tool 1 is about 0.208 MPa, the covering tool 1 has a high durability that is not broken even if it is used a plurality of times. In addition, beauty tools are often used when taking a bath, and from the viewpoint of hygiene, it is not expected that the same beauty tool will be used repeatedly for an excessive number of times. It is preferable to replace the cosmetic tool with a new one after using the same cosmetic tool once or several times. However, since the tensile strength of the covering tool 1 is not excessively large, it is difficult to reuse and reduce cost. Excellent.

  In addition, since the tensile stress at 100% elongation of the coating tool 1 is 0.0163 MPa and the tensile stress at 200% elongation is 0.0244 MPa, the slip prevention and good fit of the coating tool 1 are ensured. In addition, the tightening to the wearer is too strong, so that it is possible to prevent excessive compression or a mark on the mounting portion when the covering tool 1 is removed.
