Description

[Detailed description of the invention] 〔Technical field〕 The present invention relates to a blood circulation promoting device.

[Background technology]

In order to recover from stiff shoulders and muscle pain, it is effective to promote blood circulation by applying electromagnetic waves to specific parts of the body.

Therefore, a blood circulation promoting device was developed for this purpose. This blood circulation promoting device is composed of a high frequency generating circuit, a battery that drives the high frequency generating circuit, and an antenna that forms an electromagnetic field by the function of the circuit.

By the way, a recently proposed device has, in one case,
The above-mentioned high frequency generating circuit, battery, antenna, etc. have been incorporated into a unit, and this unit has been used by being directly attached to areas where blood circulation is stagnant, such as stiffness. As shown in Figure 5, the mounting method for this purpose is as follows.
The blood circulation promoting device A can be applied to the skin surface 40 of the body and then worn by covering the adhesive wound 1741, or as shown in Fig. 6, the blood circulation promoting device type can be attached to the back side of the double-sided device. The skin surface 40 is attached by an adhesive type adhesive sheet 42.
I was trying to attach it to. As described above, since the blood circulation promoting device A was attached using adhesive, the skin surface 40 became irritated or irritated, which was uncomfortable. Furthermore, the adhesive force of the attachment means gradually deteriorates due to peeling, etc., so that it is necessary to replace the attachment means with a new one.

In addition, joints are areas where stiffness is likely to occur, but they are also areas where there is a lot of movement. When the blood circulation promoting device A is attached to such a region using the adhesive attachment means, the attachment means immediately peels off and the blood circulation promoting device A is removed, so there is a restriction that the blood circulation promoting device A cannot be attached to the joint region. there were.

[Purpose of the invention]

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention eliminates the discomfort caused by swelling and rashes, and can be used in areas with rapid movement such as joints without fear of peeling. It is an object of the present invention to provide a blood circulation promoting device that does not require replacing mounting means.

[Disclosure of the invention]

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a blood circulation promoting device comprising an antenna worn on the body, the antenna generating a high frequency electromagnetic field by means of driving the antenna. The gist is a blood circulation promoting device that is incorporated into clothing.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing embodiments thereof.

1 to 4 show an embodiment of the blood circulation promoting device according to the present invention. As shown in these figures, this blood circulation promoting device is equipped with a garment IO serving as a means of attachment, and antennas 1 to 8 are arranged at eight locations on the garment IO. These antennas 1 to 8 are sewn into clothing 10 using flexible conductive wires such as copper wires and carbon wires. The stitching points correspond to the shoulders, back, waist, and arms of the body, and each location is divided into left and right sections, for a total of eight locations. One terminal a... of these antennas 1 to 8 is connected to each other, and the other terminal b... Arranged to be connected. This connector 11 has an operating device 2.
Plug 2 attached to the end of cord 21 extending from 0
2 are connected, and the terminals C... of the same plug 22 are electrically connected to the respective terminals B...

The operating device 20 is equipped with a power supply circuit (battery) 24, an operation control circuit 25, and an amplifier circuit 26 inside its body 23, and also has a number of course selection switches 27 corresponding to the eight positions. Built-in so that it can be operated from outside. A power switch 2 is provided outside the body 23 to turn on and off between the power supply circuit section 24 and the operation control circuit 25.
8 is protruded from the upper part of the right side wall when viewed from the front, and an operating knob 29a of the power volume 29 connected to the amplifier circuit 26 is provided at the upper part of the left side wall when viewed from the front.

On the front side of the body 23, each operating section 27a of each course selection switch 27... has a "
The parts that can be operated, such as "left shoulder", "left arm", etc., are displayed, and in the center of these, as you can see, there is a display 30 of the eight parts of the body, and each of the operating parts 27a. . . . Operating point display lamps 31 are arranged side by side. These lamps 31... blink when the sideways operation parts 27a are turned on, indicating that the power is turned on.
This is to simultaneously notify that a high frequency electromagnetic field is being radiated from the antenna corresponding to the ON operation. A changeover switch 32 connected to the operation control circuit 25 is provided on the upper surface of the operating device 20 .

This switch 32 has a function of switching between a mode in which all eight antennas 1 to 8 of the whole body are operated by operating the switch 32 alone, and a mode in which one to eight antennas are operated by individual selection operations. At a position above and to the right of this switch 32, a whole body operation indicator lamp 33 is provided for confirming the operation by blinking when the mode is switched to the whole body operation mode.

As shown in FIG. 4, this blood circulation promoting device
After wearing, the user inserts the plug 22 into the connector 11 and holds the operating device 20 in his/her hand. After the power switch 28 is turned on, the part to be treated is selected. For example, when it is desired to treat only the left hip, the selector switch 32 of the operating device 20 is lowered to switch to the partial operation mode, and then the operating section 27a with the "left abdomen" display is pressed. As a result, the course selection switch 27 corresponding to the "left flank" is turned on, the corresponding operating point display lamp 31 blinks, and the antenna 8 located on the left flank is activated. A high-frequency electromagnetic field is generated from this antenna 8 to promote blood circulation in the left abdominal region. In such a partial operation mode, two or more simultaneous operations are also possible. In particular, when selecting the whole body operation mode, by raising the selector switch 32, the full operation mode can be easily changed to the full operation mode with a single operation without having to perform all partial operation operations. The electromagnetic field generation strength can be changed by adjusting the power volume 29 by operating the operation knob 29a.

As mentioned above, since the antenna is built into clothing, it can be applied without using any adhesive sheets, eliminating discomfort caused by stuffiness or rashes, and is suitable for areas with rapid movement such as joints. It can be applied without fear of peeling off, expanding the scope of use and eliminating the need to replace the adhering means due to peeling or the like due to use. By using the operating device as in the embodiment described above, the selection of the operating region can be easily performed by hand. If the antenna is flexible, as in the above embodiments, it will be easier to adhere to the antenna, it will be possible to fit the antenna to local areas such as joints, and it will be less likely that rashes will occur.

Note that the means for driving the antenna may be integrated into clothing. In this case, batteries can also be incorporated into various parts of clothing. Apart from this invention, the antenna can also be constructed by incorporating the antenna into bedding such as a sheet or blanket instead of clothes.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the blood circulation promoting device according to the present invention includes an antenna that is attached to the body, and the antenna generates a high frequency electromagnetic field by means of driving the antenna. , since the antenna is incorporated into clothing, there is no discomfort due to stuffiness or rash, and the antenna can be used in areas with rapid movement such as joints without fear of peeling off,
The scope of use has expanded, and there is no longer a need to replace the attachment means with use.
