Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pressing tool provided with a pressing member that is movably provided on a grip body and presses a treatment section.

Conventionally, acupuncture points and specific parts of muscles scattered on the human body are pressed with fingers or tools to loosen and relax the muscles, giving medical and health effects to the body. ing. As a tool for pressing such a treatment site, pressing tools disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are known.

The pressing tool of Patent Document 1 includes a grasping body formed in a substantially spherical shape to be grasped by hand, a main body having a hollow pipe shape inside, a coil spring housed in the main body, and an upper half of the main body. and a lower half of the pressing shaft projecting loosely from the bottom of the main body. Rotation prevention means is provided for preventing rotation in the left-right direction.

The pressing assisting device of Patent Document 2 is, for example, a pressing stick that is held by a user's hand and is used to apply pressure to a patient from the tip thereof. It comprises a pusher that is slidably inserted into an opening in the vicinity of the tip of the tubular body and directly applied to the patient's body, and a coil spring that elastically supports the rear end of the pusher.

By the way, in recent years, in order to effectively relax the muscles by massage, the pressing area of the finger or the tip of the pressing member is set to about 1 cm ² , and the treated area is pressed vertically with about 500 gf/cm ² to relax the muscles. It is known that the loosening effect is dramatically improved.

However, in the pressing tool of Patent Document 1, although the pressing shaft is urged against the treatment site by the coil spring, the pressing tool is only pressed against the treatment site by grasping the gripping body by hand. It is difficult to adjust the pressure to be constant, and the pressing shaft cannot keep pressing the treatment site at about 500 gf/cm ² . Furthermore, since only the pressing shaft is pressed against the treatment site, the shaft tends to sway, and it is difficult to press the pressing shaft vertically against the treatment site.

In addition, in the pressing assisting device of Patent Document 2 as well, although the presser is urged against the treatment site by the coil spring, since the pressing assisting device is simply pressed against the treatment site by gripping the cylindrical main body with the hand, the coil spring is not applied during the treatment. It is difficult to adjust the amount of shrinkage to be constant, and the pressing shaft cannot keep pressing the treated area at about 500 gf/cm ² .

On the other hand, unlike the pressing tool of Patent Document 1, the pressing assisting device of Patent Document 2 can be pushed until the pressing element is flush with the tip of the tubular body, so that the tip of the tubular body is pushed during treatment. It is also conceivable to press until it touches the periphery of the treatment area, and press the treatment area at approximately 500 gf/cm ² depending on the contraction amount of the coil spring at that time. However, the outer diameter of the tip of the tubular body is not so large as compared to the outer diameter of the pusher, and the tip of the tubular body is only large enough to support the pusher. If it is pushed in until it is flush with the tip, the tip of the cylindrical main body together with the presser bites into the treatment site, and as a result, it is difficult to press the treatment site with about 500 gf/cm ² . Furthermore, since the outer diameter of the tip of the tubular body is not so large as compared to the outer diameter of the presser, the shaft tends to sway even when the tip of the tubular body is brought into contact with the treatment site. difficult to press on.

Registered Utility Model No. 3191340 Japanese Patent No. 6356284

In view of the above points, it is an object of the present invention to provide a pressing tool capable of setting the pressing area of the tip portion of the pressing member to a predetermined area and vertically pressing the treatment site with a predetermined force. .

[1] A long and narrow grip body that can be grasped by hand, a rod-shaped pressing member that is provided at the tip of the grip body so as to be able to move back and forth and presses the treatment site, and a pressing member that is provided inside the grip body and is used for the treatment. A pressing tool comprising a biasing member that biases the part,
The grip body is provided with a guide stopper formed at the tip of the grip body, which is in contact with the periphery of the treatment area during treatment to restrict movement thereof, and guides the pressing member so as to advance and retreat perpendicularly to the treatment area,
The projected area of the pressing member with respect to the treatment site is 0.5 cm ² or more and 1.5 cm ² or less,
The pressing member is set to press the treatment area with a pressure of 400 gf/cm ² or more and 600 gf/cm ² or less while the guide stopper is in contact with the periphery of the treatment area during the treatment. and

According to this configuration, the grip body includes a guide stopper formed at the tip of the grip body and guiding the pressing member so as to advance and retreat perpendicularly to the treatment site. can be made Furthermore, since the guide stopper is formed at the tip of the grip body and is in contact with the periphery of the treated area during treatment to restrict movement, the guide stopper does not bite into the treated area during treatment and the movement is restricted. It is possible to press the treated area with a proper pressure. Furthermore, the projected area of the pressing member with respect to the treatment area is 0.5 cm ² or more and 1.5 cm ² or less, and the pressing member is projected onto the treatment area by 400 gf/cm ² with the guide stopper in contact with the periphery of the treatment area during treatment. As described above, since it is set to press with a pressure of 600 gf/cm ² or less, the pressing area of the tip portion of the pressing member can be set to a predetermined area, and the treatment site can be pressed vertically with a predetermined force. .

[2] Preferably, the guide stopper is a flat surface formed to extend in a direction perpendicular to the advancing/retreating direction of the pressing member and to face the treatment site,
The outer diameter of the guide stopper is 2 cm or more and 4 cm or less.

According to such a configuration, the guide stopper is a flat surface formed to extend in the direction perpendicular to the advancing/retreating direction of the pressing member and face the treatment site, so that the configuration can be simplified. If the outer diameter of the guide stopper is smaller than 2 cm, the contact surface with the treatment area is small, so that the grip body tends to wobble during treatment. The main body can be maintained vertically without wobbling with respect to the treatment area. Also, if the outer diameter of the guide stopper is larger than 4 cm, the guide stopper will not fit into a narrow area to be treated such as the hip joint between the leg and the torso when the patient is sitting on a chair, making treatment difficult. In the embodiment of the present invention, the outer diameter of the guide stopper is set to 4 cm or less, so that the guide stopper can be brought into contact with a narrow treatment area to press the treatment area vertically.

[3] Preferably, the grip body includes a diameter-reduced portion formed behind the guide stopper and having an outer diameter that gradually narrows, and an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the guide stopper formed behind the diameter-reduced portion. and a bulging portion formed behind the constricted portion and having an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the constricted portion.

According to such a configuration, the grip body includes a reduced-diameter portion formed behind the guide stopper and gradually narrowing in outer diameter, and a constricted portion formed behind the reduced-diameter portion and having an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the guide stopper. , the hand gripping the grip body can be prevented from slipping to the front of the grip body during treatment and can be suitably pressed. Furthermore, since the grip body is provided with a bulging portion formed behind the constricted portion and having an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the constricted portion, the grip body can be easily gripped by wrapping the bulging portion with the palm of the hand. The pressing tool can be easily handled.

[4] Preferably, the pressing member has a hemispherical portion formed at the tip of the pressing member.

Depending on the location of the treatment site, such as an acupuncture point or the border of the fascia, it may be more suitable to press with a spherical surface than with a flat surface. According to this configuration, since the distal end portion of the pressing member is provided with a hemispherical portion, even a treatment portion that is more suitable to be pressed by a spherical surface can be preferably pressed.

[ 1 ] Preferably, the grip body includes a timer mechanism for notifying that a predetermined time has elapsed after the pressing member has been pushed to a position where the guide stopper contacts the periphery of the treatment site during treatment.

In the step of vertically pressing the treatment site with a pressing area of about 1 cm ² and about 500 gf/cm ² , the pressing member is vertically pressed against the treatment site, and the muscle is stretched and contracted for, for example, 2 seconds while being pressed. By repeating the exercise three times, the muscles can be loosened more effectively. According to such a configuration, the timer mechanism can accurately notify two seconds from the start of the treatment, and the effect of the treatment can be further improved.

[ 5 ] Preferably, the timer mechanism includes a movable contact piece provided at the rear end of the pressing member, a fixed contact piece provided on the grip body and brought into contact with the moved movable contact piece, and the movable contact piece. A light source connected to the piece and the fixed contact piece via an electric wiring, and controlled so that the light source illuminates after a predetermined time has passed since the movable contact piece contacts the fixed contact piece and the switch is turned on. and a battery for supplying power to the control unit and the light source.

According to this configuration, the switch is turned on when the movable contact piece provided at the rear end of the pressing member comes into contact with the fixed contact piece, so that the configuration can be simplified. Furthermore, since it is equipped with a control unit that controls the light source to shine after a predetermined time has passed since the switch was turned on, for example, by setting the light source to shine two seconds after the start of treatment, the pressure can be reliably applied. The step can be performed for 2 seconds.

The pressing area of the tip of the pressing member can be set to a predetermined area, and the treatment site can be vertically pressed with a predetermined force.

It is a principal part cross section of the press tool based on the Example of another aspect. FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of a pressing tool according to 5 in FIG.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the action diagram conceptually (schematically) shows the pressing tool.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the pressing tool 10 vertically presses a pressing member 50, which is provided in the grip body 20 so as to be able to move back and forth, against a treatment site such as an arm 91 or a shoulder, and maintains the pressed state. It is a suitable tool for loosening muscles by repeating stretching and contracting muscles at intervals of 2 seconds three times.

The pressing tool 10 includes a grip body 20 formed long and narrow and held by a hand 90 (see FIG. 4), a bar-like pressing member 50 provided at the tip of the grip body 20 so as to be able to move back and forth to press the treatment site, and a grip body. 20 and a biasing member 60 that biases the pressing member 50 toward the treatment site.

The grip body 20 is provided with a guide stopper 26 which is formed at the tip of the grip body 20 and which contacts the periphery of the treated area during treatment to limit movement and guide the pressing member 50 so as to advance and retreat perpendicularly to the treated area. there is The guide stopper 26 is a flat surface that extends in a direction perpendicular to the advance/retreat direction of the pressing member 50 and faces the treatment site.

On the outer surface of the grip body 20, the grip body 20 includes a flat and circular guide stopper 26 having an outer diameter D1, a step portion 25 formed so as to extend straight rearward from the outer periphery of the guide stopper 26, and a A reduced-diameter portion 24 formed rearward and gradually narrowing in outer diameter, a constricted portion 23 formed rearward of the reduced-diameter portion 24 and having an outer diameter D4 smaller than the outer diameter D1 of the guide stopper 26, and the constricted portion 23. It has a bulging portion 22 formed rearward and having an outer diameter D3 larger than the outer diameter D4 of the constricted portion 23, and a constricted portion 21 formed so as to narrow rearward from the bulging portion 22. - 特許庁

As for the dimensions of each part, for example, the outer diameter D1 of the guide stopper is 3.0 cm, the outer diameter D4 of the constricted portion 23 is 2.2 cm, the outer diameter D3 of the bulging portion is 3.0 cm, and the pressing member has an outer diameter D2 of approximately 1.13 cm. The length L1 of the grip body 10 is 13.0 cm, and the length L2 of the stepped portion 25 is 0.5 cm. Further, the amount of the pressing member 50 taken out from the guide stopper 26 when not in use is 1.2 cm.

In the embodiment, the dimensions and time for each part are set as described above, but the invention is not limited to this, and the outer diameter D1 of the guide stopper may be 2 cm or more and 4 cm or less. If the outer diameter D1 of the guide stopper 26 is smaller than 2 cm, the grip main body 20 tends to wobble during treatment due to the small contact surface with the treated area. Therefore, the grip body can be maintained in a vertical state with respect to the treatment site without wobbling. Further, if the outer diameter D1 of the guide stopper 26 is larger than 4 cm, the guide stopper 26 will not enter a narrow treatment area such as the vicinity of the hip joint between the leg and the trunk when the patient is sitting on a chair, making treatment difficult. By the way, in the embodiment of the present invention, the outer diameter D1 of the guide stopper 26 is set to 4 cm or less, so that the guide stopper can be brought into contact with a narrow treatment area to press the treatment area vertically.

In the embodiment, the outer diameter D4 of the constricted portion 23 is 2.2 cm, but it may be 1.8 cm, 2.0 cm, 2.5 cm, or the like, which is larger than the outer diameter D1 of the guide stopper 26 and the outer diameter D3 of the bulging portion. Other values may be used as long as they are small. In addition, in the embodiment, the outer diameter D3 of the bulging portion was set to 3.0 cm, but it may be set to 2.7 cm, 3.3 cm, 3.6 cm, etc. If it is 2.7 cm or more and 3.6 cm or less, It is easy to grasp and is preferable. Also, in the embodiment, the length L1 of the grip body 10 is 13.0 cm, but other lengths such as 10.0 cm, 12.0 cm, and 15.0 cm may be used. Also, in the embodiment, the length L2 of the stepped portion 25 is set to 0.5 cm, but it may be set to other lengths such as 0.3 cm and 0.7 cm.

The pressing member 50 has a hemispherical portion 51 formed at the tip of the pressing member 50 . The projected area (pressing area) of the pressing member 50 with respect to the treatment site is 1.0 cm ² . The outer diameter D2 of the pressing member 50 in this case is approximately 1.13 cm.

In the embodiment, the projected area (pressing area) of the pressing member 50 with respect to the treatment site was set to 1.0 cm ² , but the present invention is not limited to this. It may be 0.5 cm ² or more and 1.5 cm ² or less. If the projected area (pressing area) of the pressing member 50 with respect to the treatment site is less than 0.5 cm ² , it will bite into the treatment ^site more. It becomes difficult for the pressing member 50 to enter into. Therefore, the projected area (pressing area) of the pressing member 50 is preferably 0.5 cm ² or more and 1.5 cm ² or less, and more preferably 1.0 cm ² . Usability can be improved. In this case, the outer diameter D2 of the pressing member 50 should be 0.80 cm or more and 1.38 cm or less.

The projected area (pressing area) of the pressing member 50 to the treatment site may be less than 0.5 cm ² or greater than 1.5 cm ² . Further, in the embodiment, the length of the pressing member 50 that is not in use is set to 1.2 cm from the guide stopper 26, but it is not limited to this, and may be 0.8 cm, 1.0 cm, 1.4 cm, or the like. can be the value of

As shown in FIG. 3(a), the grip body 20 is composed of a first grip member 30 forming the front end side and a second grip member 40 forming the rear end side.

The first grip member 30 includes a large-diameter hole 31 provided at a rear end 37 , a female screw portion 32 provided in the large-diameter hole 31 , a bottom portion 33 of the large-diameter hole 31 , and a large-diameter screw portion provided at the bottom portion 33 . A storage hole 34 having an inner diameter smaller than the diameter hole 31 , a bottom portion 35 of the storage hole 34 , and a support hole 36 provided in the bottom portion 35 for slidably supporting the pressing member 50 are provided.

The second grip member 40 includes a protrusion 41 that protrudes from the main body of the second grip member 40 toward the tip end and is inserted into the large-diameter hole, a male threaded portion 42 that is provided on the protrusion 41, and the protrusion 41. A receiving surface 43 provided at the distal end, a mating surface 44 provided at the proximal end side of the projecting portion 41, a small diameter hole 45 provided in the receiving surface 43, and a recessed hole 46 provided deep inside the small diameter hole 45. and Regarding the molding method, the projection 41 may be molded separately from the main body and then integrally attached to the main body, and any molding method may be used.

The pressing member has a semispherical portion 51 formed in a hemispherical shape at the tip, a columnar portion 52 extending rearward from the semispherical portion 51 and slidably supported in the support hole 36, and an outer diameter of the columnar portion 52. A flange portion 53 formed with a large outer diameter and a spring support portion 54 extending rearward from the flange portion 53 are provided. The biasing member 60 is a coil spring and is supported by the spring support portion 54 .

As shown in FIG. 3(b), the male threaded portion 42 of the second grip member 40 is screwed into the female threaded portion 32 of the first grip member 30, the rear end of the biasing member 60 is in contact with the receiving surface 43, The tip of the biasing member 60 is in contact with the flange portion 53 . The biasing member 60 is set so that the pressing member 50 presses the treated area with a pressure of approximately 500 gf/cm ² while the guide stopper 26 is in contact with the periphery of the treated area during treatment. The state in which the guide stopper 26 is in contact with the periphery of the treatment site during treatment means that the pressing member 50 is pushed into the grip body 20 and the tip of the pressing member 50 is substantially flush with the guide stopper 26 or the tip of the pressing member 50 is in the guide position. It means a state of retreating to the vicinity of the stopper 26 .

In the embodiment, the biasing member 60 is set so that the guide stopper 26 is in contact with the periphery of the treated area during the treatment, and the pressing member 50 presses the treated area with a pressure of approximately 500 gf/cm ² . However, the pressing member 50 may be set to press the treated area with a pressure of 400 gf/cm ² or more and 600 gf/cm ² or less. In order to effectively relax the muscles by massage, the pressing member 50 presses the treated area vertically with ^{approximately} 500 gf/cm ² , thereby dramatically improving the effect of relaxing the muscles. By pressing with a pressure of 400 gf/cm ² or more and 600 gf/cm ² or less, which is not so far away, the effect of relaxing muscles can be obtained to the same extent as pressing with 500 gf/cm ² . If the pressing member 50 presses the treated area vertically with a force of approximately 500 gf/cm ² , the muscle relaxation effect can be further improved.

The male threaded portion 42 of the second grip member 40 is screwed into the female threaded portion 32 of the first grip member 30 . By changing the contracted length, the pressing force of the pressing member 50 can be changed. In the embodiment, the first grip member 30 and the second grip member 40 are connected by screwing the female threaded portion 32 and the male threaded portion 42 together. may be connected by bonding, welding, press-fitting, screwing with separate screws, or the like. In the embodiment, the length of contraction of the biasing member 60 is adjusted by moving the receiving surface 43 by changing the degree of engagement between the female threaded portion 32 and the male threaded portion 42. However, the present invention is not limited to this. A spacer having a different thickness may be provided between the member 60 and the receiving surface 43 to adjust the contraction length of the biasing member 60 .

Next, the operation of the pressing tool 10 described above will be described.
FIG. 4(a) is a diagram showing a state before starting treatment with the pressing tool 10 of the embodiment, in which the operator holds the pressing tool 10 with a hand 90. FIG. The pressing tool 10 is moved in the direction of arrow (1) so that the pressing member 50 contacts the treatment site of the arm 91 .

FIG. 4(b) is a diagram showing a state in the middle of treatment by the pressing tool 10 of the embodiment. With the pressing member 50 in contact with the treatment site, the pressing tool is pushed until the guide stopper 26 contacts the periphery of the treatment site. 10 is further moved to the treatment site, and the pressure member 50 presses the treatment site as indicated by arrow (2).

FIG. 4(c) is a diagram showing the pressing state of the pressing tool 10 of the embodiment, in which the pressing member 50 presses the treatment site of the arm 91. FIG. Here, since the outer diameter D1 of the guide stopper 26 is as large as 3.0 cm, for example, the guide stopper 26 is in contact with the periphery of the treatment site to limit movement, and the guide stopper 26 does not bite into the treatment site during treatment. Therefore, it is possible to press the treatment site with an appropriate pressure only with the pressing member 50 . Furthermore, since the outer diameter D1 of the guide stopper 26 is as large as 3.0 cm, for example, the pressing tool 10 can be prevented from tilting with respect to the treatment site and can press the treatment site vertically with a predetermined force.

Furthermore, in the pressing tool 10 of the embodiment, by using the position of the stepped portion 25 on the surface of the arm 91 as a guideline, it is possible to visually confirm that the guide stopper 26 does not bite into the treatment site. By repeating the action of pressing the treatment site with the pressing tool 10 and the action of separating the pressing tool 10 from the treatment site at intervals of 2 seconds, the muscles can be loosened and relaxed. Furthermore, since the pressing tool 10 has a constricted portion 23 (see FIG. 2) and a reduced diameter portion 24, even if the hand 90 gets sweaty due to repeated motions, the hand 90 does not slip toward the tip of the grip body 20. It is possible to prevent the device from moving and coming into contact with the periphery of the treatment site, and it is possible to always press with an appropriate pressure even with repeated operations. In addition, depending on the position of the treatment area, it can be used not only for relaxing the muscles, but also for so-called myofascial release, in which the fascia is peeled off.

FIG. 4(d) is a view showing the pressing state of the pressing tool 100 of the comparative example, and the outer diameter of the tip 102 of the tubular body is not so large as compared to the outer diameter of the pressing element 101. FIG. Since the tip 102 of the tubular body is only large enough to support the pressing element 101, when the pressing element 101 is pushed until it becomes flush with the tip 102 of the tubular body during treatment, the pressing element 101 and the tubular body are pushed together. Even the tip 102 of the arm 91 bites into the treatment site, and as a result, the treatment site cannot be pressed with an appropriate pressure. Furthermore, since the outer diameter of the distal end 102 of the tubular body is not so large as compared to the outer diameter of the pressing element 101, even if the distal end 102 of the tubular body is brought into contact with the treatment site, the axis tends to incline and the treatment site is pressed. It is difficult to press the child 101 vertically.

Next, another embodiment will be described. 1 to 4 are assigned reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the grip body 20 is divided into two parts in the longitudinal direction, one of which is a first grip member 30a and the other of which is a second grip member 40a. consists of

The pressing tool 10 has a timer mechanism 70 for notifying that a predetermined time has passed since the pressing member 50 was pushed to the position where the guide stopper 26 comes in contact with the periphery of the treatment site during treatment.

The timer mechanism 70 includes a movable contact piece 73 locked to the rear end of the pressing member 50 with a screw 74, a locking piece 75 locked to the first grip member 30a of the grip body 20 with a screw 77, and A fixed contact piece 76 provided on the locking piece 75 and in contact with the moved movable contact piece 73 , a light source 79 connected to the movable contact piece 73 and the fixed contact piece 76 via electrical wirings 72 and 78 , and a light source 79 . A diffusing member 81 provided to surround the light source 79 diffuses the light from the light source 79, and the movable contact piece 73 contacts the fixed contact piece 76, and the light source 79 is controlled so that the light source 79 shines after a predetermined time has passed since the switch is turned on. and a battery 80 for supplying power to the control unit 71 and the light source 79 .

In the step of vertically pressing the treatment site, the pressing member 50 is pressed vertically against the treatment site, and the muscle is stretched and contracted for, for example, 2 seconds while being pressed, which is repeated three times to relax the muscle more effectively. However, according to this configuration, the timer mechanism 70 can accurately inform the user of two seconds from the start of the treatment, and the rhythm for stretching and contracting the muscles can be given to further improve the treatment effect. In addition, you may set the interval of seconds freely.

In the embodiment, the timer mechanism 70 is provided with a light source 79, and the light source 79 is configured to notify the practitioner of the passage of a predetermined time. may be configured to notify the Moreover, the light source 79 is preferably an LED, and if it is an LED, power can be saved.

Next, the effects of the pressing tool 10 described above will be described.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the grip body 20 is provided with a guide stopper 26 which is formed at the tip of the grip body 20 and guides the pressing member 50 so as to advance and retreat perpendicularly to the treatment site. The treatment area can be pressed vertically. Further, since the guide stopper 26 is formed at the tip of the grip body 20 and contacts the periphery of the treated area during treatment to restrict movement, the guide stopper 26 does not bite into the treated area during treatment and the movement is restricted. Only the pressing member 50 can press the treated area with an appropriate pressure. Furthermore, the projected area of the pressing member 50 with respect to the treatment site is 0.5 cm ² or more and 1.5 cm ² or less. /cm ² or more and 600 gf/cm ² or less. can do.

Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the guide stopper 26 is a flat surface formed to extend in the direction perpendicular to the advance/retreat direction of the pressing member 50 and face the treatment site, so that the configuration can be simplified. . If the outer diameter of the guide stopper 26 is smaller than 2 cm, the grip body 20 tends to wobble during treatment due to the small contact surface with the treated area. As a result, the grip body 20 can be kept vertical to the treatment site without wobbling. Also, if the outer diameter of the guide stopper 26 is larger than 4 cm, the guide stopper 26 will not fit into a narrow treatment area such as the hip joint between the leg and the torso when the patient is sitting on a chair, making treatment difficult. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the outer diameter of the guide stopper 26 is set to 4 cm or less, so the guide stopper 26 can be brought into contact with a narrow treatment area to press the treatment area vertically.

Further, the grip body 20 has a reduced diameter portion 24 formed behind the guide stopper 26 and gradually narrowing in outer diameter, and a constricted portion 24 formed behind the reduced diameter portion 24 and having an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the guide stopper 26. Since the portion 23 is provided, it is possible to prevent the hand 90 gripping the grip body 20 from slipping to the front of the grip body 20 at the time of treatment and to suitably press the grip body 20 . Furthermore, since the grip body 20 is provided with the bulging portion 22 formed behind the constricted portion 23 and having an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the constricted portion 23, the grip body 20 can be grasped by wrapping the bulging portion with the palm of the hand. can be easily gripped, and the pressing tool 10 can be easily handled.

Furthermore, depending on the location of the treatment site, such as an acupuncture point or the border of the fascia, it may be more suitable to press with a spherical surface rather than with a flat surface. According to this configuration, since the tip portion of the pressing member 50 is provided with the hemispherical portion 51 formed in a hemispherical shape, it is possible to preferably press even a treatment portion that is more suitable to be pressed with a spherical surface.

Further, in the step of vertically pressing the treatment site with a pressing area of about 1 cm ² and about 500 gf/cm ² , the pressing member 50 is vertically pressed against the treatment site, and the muscle is contracted for, for example, 2 seconds while being pressed. By repeating stretching and contracting three times, the muscles can be loosened more effectively, and according to this configuration, the timer mechanism 70 can accurately notify two seconds from the start of the treatment, and the treatment effect is further improved. can be made

Furthermore, since the movable contact piece 73 provided at the rear end of the pressing member 50 contacts the fixed contact piece 76 to turn on the switch, the construction can be simplified.
