Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the manual therapeutical material with which the pressing effect increases with lapse of sticking time by disposing a hygroscopic (water absorptive) expanding material which presses the effective spot for treatment to the adhesive surface of a sheet-like base plate which is coated with a self-adhesive agent on one side face and is stuck to the human body. CONSTITUTION:The manual therapeutical material 1a for the effective spot to be treated is formed by attaching the hygroscopic (water absorptive) expanding material 4 on the sheet-like material 2 and coating the self-adhesive agent 3 on the part exclusive of the expanding material 4 of the base plate. Moisture absorption (water absorption) of the expanding material 4 is prevented by a separator 5 prior to use. The expanding material 4 in the use state is gradually expanded by receipt of the sweating of the human body or by the water supplied before use to press the effective spot P for treatment. The expanding material 4 includes rubber, elastomer, water expandable urethane resin, compressed fibers, etc., and may be any materials which are not harmful to the human body and are expanded in volume by moisture or water absorption. The expanding force can be properly changed by the substances and materials to be used.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is applied to the human body and pressed against acupuncture points to produce an acupressure effect.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a sheet-like patch (No. 12
(see figure) is well known. In addition, it is well known that a magnetic patch is attached to the adhesive surface of the medicine patch and is applied to a private part of the human body to exert a magnetic effect on the human body (see FIG. 13).

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Such conventional sheet-like patches or magnetic patches have not been expected to produce acupressure effects.

In view of this problem, the present invention aims to provide an acupressure point material whose pressing effect increases as the application time elapses.

(Means for Solving the Problems) As a means of the present invention, an adhesive is applied to one side of a sheet-like substrate that is attached to a human body, and the adhesive surface has a moisture absorption (water absorption) property that presses the human body's tail against the adhesive surface. Or rf! ! This is an acupressure point material with an acupressure plate made of a thermal expansion material or a shape memory alloy (synthetic resin).

(Function) By attaching the acupressure material of the pressure point to the upper part of the human body, the expanding material absorbs moisture or moisture from the human body or senses body temperature and expands, and the expanding material expands over the upper part of the human body over time. Increase the pressing force to promote acupressure on the acupuncture points.

In addition, the acupressure plate made of shape memory alloy (synthetic resin) returns to its original shape (protruding shape) due to body temperature and presses against the upper part of the human body.

(Example) Figures 1 to 11 show examples of the acupressure material of the present invention.

(First Example) Acupuncture material 1 (Ia, lb, 1c+1d, Is)
In this example, a hygroscopic (water-absorbing) expandable material 4 for applying finger pressure to pressure points P on the human body 3 is disposed on the adhesive surface of a sheet-like substrate 2 that is applied to one side of the adhesive 3 and attached to the human body B. It is.

The acupressure material 1a shown in FIG. 1(a) absorbs moisture (water)
The adhesive 3 is attached to a sheet-like substrate 2, and an adhesive 3 is applied to the area other than the expandable material 4. Reference numeral 5 is a separator. Of course, before using this separator 5
This prevents the expansion material 4 from absorbing moisture (water).

(in Fig. 1) shows the state of use. The expansion material 4 gradually expands due to the perspiration of the human body or when water is supplied before use, and applies acupressure to the pressure point P.

The expansion material 4 may include rubber, elastomer, water-swellable urethane resin, compressed fiber, etc., but any substance that is harmless to the human body and expands in volume by absorbing moisture or water may be used. The expansion force can be changed as appropriate depending on the substance and materials used.

The acupressure point material 1b shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) is an example of a sheet-like base vi2 in which an expansion material 4 is disposed on an adhesive 3 coated on the entire surface. FIG. 2(b) shows its usage state.

The acupressure point 1c shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) is obtained by attaching an acupressure plate 6 to the inflatable material 4 of the acupressure point 1a, lb shown in FIG. 1 or 2. It is.

Of course, this acupressure plate 6 may be formed of a magnetic plate. FIG. 3(b) shows its usage state. The acupressure plate 6 enhances the acupressure effect.

The acupressure material 1d shown in FIG.
A plurality of heat passing (water passing) holes 31 are formed in the adhesive 3 coated with an expanding material 4.

In the acupressure pot 1e shown in FIG. 5, a back-up plate 7 is provided on the back side of the expansion material 4. This back-up plate 7 allows the expansion material 4 to effectively expand only in the direction of the human body. It also serves to prevent moisture and water from entering from the back of the expansion material 4.

Note that the adhesive 3 and the expansion material 4 of the acupressure materials 1a to 1e in each pot are covered with a separator 5 before use.

If immediate effect is expected, it is recommended to pour water into the expansion material 4 and then apply the acupressure materials 1a-1e of each acupuncture point to the human body B.

<Second Embodiment> The acupressure material of this second embodiment uses a temperature-sensitive expansion material as the expansion material 4.

The structure is based on the moisture absorption of the acupressure materials 1a to 1e of the first embodiment (
The only difference is that the water-absorbing expansion material 4 is replaced with a temperature-sensitive expansion material.
