Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an air pillow for pressure points that is particularly suitable for air pine surge.

Air pillows are well known, but conventional air pillows have the disadvantage that the central part of the pillow bulges out more than the peripheral part, making the whole body round, making it very difficult to stabilize the head, making it difficult to sleep soundly. Nakatsuta. Also, the central part is rounded,
For example, if you use it as a lumbar pillow and try to perform pine surge by repeatedly supplying and exhausting compressed air, as shown in Figures 4 and 6, the center line of the body, that is, the lumbar vertebrae, will be excessively compressed. This has the disadvantage that the pine surge effect is impaired. In addition, when using a lumbar pillow, the center part bulges out, so sufficient air pressure does not reach areas that require pine surge, such as the sides of the lumbar vertebrae where there are many acupuncture points.
The drawback was that it was not possible to obtain an appropriate pine surge effect, and only a waist stretching effect was obtained.

In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional air pillows, this invention has been developed to eliminate these drawbacks and to provide air pillows that are present on both sides of the cranial vertebrae, cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, spine, lumbar vertebrae, caudal vertebrae, etc. This relates to an air pillow for pressure points that was developed with the aim of being able to exert sufficient air pressure on a large number of pressure points to produce an extremely soft and precise pine surge effect. This invention will be explained below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Fig. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a slope showing an embodiment of the air pillow 1 for use with a pot according to this invention, and Figs. 2A and B
are a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A and a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B in FIG. In the combined state, from the frame-shaped joint line part 3a along the contour and the protruding joint line part 3b formed in a protruding state in a direction approaching each other at the opposing substantially center portions of the frame-like joint line part 3a. The flat bag 4 is airtightly joined along the joining line 3, and the airtight flat bag 4 whose interior is connected to each other is formed in the part surrounded by the joining line 3. An air supply/exhaust port 6 and an air supply port 7 are provided at appropriate locations.

When air is supplied into the flat bag body 4 through the air supply/exhaust port 6 or the air supply port 7, the flat bag body 4
A concave portion 5 as shown in FIG. 5 is formed between the tops of b and 3b.

Further, the flat bag 4 is provided with an air supply/exhaust port 6 and an air supply port 7, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, respectively. The air supply port 7 has a check valve 8 to prevent exhaust from being discharged from the air supply port 7.

FIG. 3 is a slope explanatory diagram showing a state in which an air supply source is connected to the air pillow 1 shown in FIG. It is an electromagnetic reciprocating type in which a piston is reciprocated by intermittent electromagnets), and is equipped with a flow rate regulator (flow rate adjustment knob 22), a timer (time setting knob 23), and the like. And two air supply and exhaust tubes 25
A, 25b are provided with a plug 26 that fits into the socket 21a of the air supply source 21 on the base side, and a plug 27 that can be attached and detached to the supply/exhaust port 6 and the air supply port 7 on the tip side.
The one provided with a and 27b is used.

Next, the manner of use of the air pillow 1 will be explained.

First, the air supply/exhaust tube 25a is connected to the air supply port 7 and the supply/exhaust port 6 of the air pillow 1 for the pot.
and 25b, and the base plug 26 is fitted into the socket 21a of the air supply source 21.

Next, after placing the pressure point air pillow 1 under the waist and lying supine, the air supply source 2 is placed.
Turn on the power of 1. When the power is turned on, air is first supplied into the flat bag body 4 from the supply/exhaust tube 25a to inflate the air pillow, and then the next supply is started by the operation of a compressed air distributor (not shown). Air is supplied into the bag body 4 from the exhaust tube 25b. In this case, the air supply port 7 is provided with a check valve 8, and when the supply air is switched from the intake/exhaust tube 25a to the intake/exhaust tube 25b, the air inside the bag body 4 is removed from the air supply port 7. Since no air is discharged from the valve 7, as shown in FIG. 4, the pressure point air pillow 1 remains in its largely inflated state without being dented. FIG. 5 shows a cross section of the air pillow 1 when it is inflated. As shown in the figure, the lumbar vertebrae protrude toward the lumbar surface, but in the air pillow 1 for pressure points according to this invention, the amount of air filled near the center is smaller than the amount of air filled on both the left and right sides, resulting in a concave shape. Because the striations 5 are formed, the lumbar vertebrae are not compressed at all, and pressure is applied from the diagonal direction shown by the arrows in Fig. 5 to the numerous pressure points scattered on both the left and right sides of the lumbar vertebrae. It applies air pressure extremely effectively to the pressure points and around them, giving a pine surge effect that is comparable to that of shiatsu. Subsequently, when the predetermined pine surge time set by the time setting knob 23 has elapsed,
Air supply through the supply/exhaust tube 25a and the air supply/exhaust port 7 is connected, but exhaustion of the inside of the bag body 4 through the supply/exhaust port 6 and the supply/exhaust tube 25b is started with back pressure due to body weight applied. By reducing the amount of grooves 5 formed, application of local pine surge pressure to both sides of the lumbar vertebrae is stopped.

In this case, the amount of air supplied to the bag 4 is adjusted by turning the flow rate adjusting knob 22, and the pine surge time is set by turning the time setting knob 23 of the timer.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of a condition in which pine surgery is performed on the neck using the air pillow 1 for pressure points according to this invention, and in this case also, an elongated concave portion 5 is formed in the vertically central portion. Because of this, it is possible to effectively apply pressure to the many pressure points scattered on both the left and right sides without putting pressure on the cervical vertebrae.
You can get a pine surge effect that is comparable to shiatsu.

Furthermore, the air pillow 1 shown in the figure can also be used as a normal pillow by filling the pillow with air and then closing the air supply/exhaust port 6 with a lid, stopper, etc. (not shown).

Incidentally, it is also good to cover the outside of the air pillow 1 for the pressure point with a suitable cover. Naturally, it is also good to use it in a prone position.

Above, this invention has been explained based on the examples, but the air pillow for pressure points according to this invention is made by overlapping two pieces of flexible horizontally shaped airtight material and following the contour of the air pillow. The inside is airtightly joined by a joining line consisting of a ivy frame-like joining line part and a protruding joining line part formed in a protruding state in a direction approaching each other from the opposing substantially central part of the frame-like joining line part. In addition to forming an airtight flat bag with communication between each part,
An air supply/exhaust port is provided at a proper location of the flat bag, and a concave portion is formed between the tops of the opposing protruding joint line portions when the flat bag is filled with air. Because the head, neck,
When performing pine surgery on the back, hips, buttocks, etc.,
By adopting an extremely simple posture of simply positioning each vertebrae, such as the cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, and caudal vertebrae, in the concave portion 5, each vertebrae is not compressed more than necessary, and each of these vertebrae is This makes it possible to very effectively massage the numerous pressure points scattered on both the left and right sides in the direction of the arrows in Figure 5, resulting in significantly improved blood circulation.
It has the remarkable effect of being able to quickly recover from fatigue. In addition, this device can be used as a regular pillow by closing the air supply and exhaust ports after filling it with air.Compared to conventional air pillows, the head is much more stable and you can sleep soundly. There is. Furthermore, when not in use, if the air inside the flat bag is removed, it becomes extremely thin, equal to the thickness of the two airtight materials, so it does not take up much space when transported or stored, making it highly portable and easy to store. It is also very good. In addition, when manufacturing a flat bag, two sheets of flexible, oblong airtight material are stacked one on top of the other, and the joining line is heated and fused only once from one direction. Since it is only necessary to perform the process, it also has the effect of being extremely easy to manufacture.
