Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The invention consists of a combination of a movable magnet and a support magnet that supports the movable magnet, and the magnetic effect due to the lines of magnetic force emitted by both magnets and the magnets repelling each other. It relates to a magnetic acupressure body that can synergistically obtain the acupressure effect due to repulsive force, and is particularly applicable to blankets, sheets,
This invention relates to a magnetic acupressure body that can be easily and securely attached to thin fabrics such as pillows, or bamboo to be stepped on.

[Prior art and its drawbacks] It is well known that when a magnet is applied to an affected area or pressure point on the human body, the lines of magnetic force emitted by the magnet improve blood circulation and relieve stiffness. A magnetic acupressure body for promoting health that applies the acupressure effect due to the repulsive force between like poles is already known, for example, as shown in Utility Model Application No. 56-176753, but the one in this publication is Two magnets are housed in the case, and due to the mutual repulsion of both magnets, only one magnet (the movable magnet) protrudes from the case and comes into contact with the human body, so the lines of magnetic force of the other magnet (the fixed magnet) inside the case are No irradiation to the human body,
It is inferior to the magnetic effect.

On the other hand, in order to recover and improve health while sleeping, there is a demand for its application to bedding such as blankets, sheets, and pillows.
To deal with this, for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 53-62090, there is a method in which a magnet is fixedly attached to the fabric, but this has a magnetic effect, but Since it did not apply the acupressure effect caused by the repulsion of two magnets, there was no acupressure effect at all.

On the other hand, there is a known device that has both the magnetic effect and the acupressure effect, such as that shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-20236. is a protective material made of a non-magnetic material, b is a fixed permanent magnet, and c is a sliding permanent magnet.A fixed permanent magnet b and a sliding permanent magnet c are housed in the protective material a, and the fixed permanent magnet b and sliding permanent magnet c
The tip of the sliding permanent magnet c is made to protrude from the surface of the protective material a due to the repulsive and attractive force of the sliding permanent magnet c.
However, according to this, since the fixed permanent magnet b and the sliding permanent magnet c are covered with a protective material a made of a non-magnetic material as a third member, both permanent magnets b and c are
Most of the lines of magnetic force emitted from the protective material a are spaced apart by the thickness of the protective material a, which weakens the action of the lines of magnetic force and reduces the magnetic effect. In addition, since the one in the publication is simply a protective material a covering both permanent magnets b and c, as shown in the publication, it is built into a predetermined location of footwear such as geta, sandals, shoes, etc. Although there is no problem when using it as a hand, it is difficult to apply it to an affected area or pressure point on the human body, and even if you try to use it with acupressure, it is inconvenient and cannot withstand long-term use.

Moreover, since the fixed permanent magnet b and the sliding permanent magnet c are arranged in parallel and independently, it is necessary to use a protective material as a storage case, which is a third member, to place them in a predetermined position. A was indispensable, and there were difficulties in production and economic problems. Therefore, there has been a long-awaited desire for a simple magnetic acupressure body that can be manufactured by simply combining only magnets b and c, without the need for many components and complicated manufacturing processes.

[Purpose of the present invention] In view of these conventional drawbacks, the present invention aims to achieve a synergistic effect between the magnetic effect of two magnets, the movable magnet and the support magnet, and the acupressure effect due to the mutual repulsive attraction of the two magnets. It is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic acupressure body that exhibits sufficient performance and does not require a protective material as a third member. Another object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic acupressure body that can be easily attached to and removed from bedding such as blankets, sheets, and pillows.

[Operation of the present invention] Since the lower end polarity of the movable magnet is formed to be different from the upper end polarity of the support magnet, the movable magnet can be slid within the support magnet due to the mutual repulsive attraction force of the magnets. At this time, the outer flange provided around the movable magnet only needs to slide on the inner peripheral surface of the support magnet.
Since the outer flange makes surface contact with the support magnet and is strongly locked, the acupressure effect is stronger, and since there is no need to use any protective material around the magnet, contact resistance can be reduced and smooth sliding can be achieved. Not only is this possible, but it also enables sufficient irradiation without shielding or interference with magnetic lines of force.

Furthermore, since the movable magnet is housed inside the support magnet, manufacturing is extremely simple.

[Example] An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numerals 1 and 2 indicate a support magnet and a movable magnet, both of which are made of permanent magnets.The support magnet 1 is formed into a short hollow cylinder shape with an inner flange 3 around the inner periphery of the upper end, and the movable magnet 2 is formed inside the lower end. It is formed into a bullet shape with an outer flange 4 that engages with the inner flange 3 provided around the periphery.
Both magnets 1 and 2 have the same polarity at their upper ends and at their lower ends (for example, the upper ends of both magnets 1 and 2 have an N pole and the lower ends have an S pole. ) Note that the shoulder portion of the upper outer peripheral edge of the support magnet 1 is formed into a rounded shape for rounding. Thus, the movable magnet 2 is inserted from the bottom side of the support magnet 1 with the top side first, and the movable magnet 2 is slidably mounted inside the support magnet 1. thus,
The acupressure body is composed only of the combined magnets, and does not require any protective material. In addition, both magnets 1 and 2 have the characteristics of magnets where like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other, so that under normal conditions, the acupressure body is as shown in Figure 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the top side of the movable magnet 2 protrudes from the upper end opening of the support magnet 1 while the outer flange 4 of the movable magnet 2 is locked to the lower surface of the inner flange 3 of the support magnet 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes a bottom plate attached to the lower surface of the support magnet 1 by adhesion, etc. A shaft cylinder 6 is provided protruding from the center of the lower surface of the bottom plate 5, and a female thread 7 is carved in the shaft cylinder 6. Reference numeral 8 denotes a locking plate detachably attached to the lower surface of the bottom plate 5. The locking plate 8 has a male threaded shaft 9 protruding from the center of one side thereof, which can be screwed into the female thread 7. Note that 10 indicates a screwdriver slot provided at the center of the other surface of the locking plate 8.

The magnetic acupressure body configured in this way is, for example, a fourth
As shown in the figure, there are many holes 1 in the required places on the fabric A.
1 in a scattered manner, insert the male threaded shaft 9 of the locking plate 8 into these holes from the back side of the fabric A, and carve the male threaded shaft 9 into the shaft cylinder 6 of the bottom plate 5 on the front side of the fabric A. By screwing the provided female screw 7, the locking plate 8 and the bottom plate 5 integrally fix the fabric A in a state where it is clamped from the front and back sides.

When the magnetic acupressure body attached to the fabric A comes into contact with the human body, the lines of magnetic force emitted from both the support magnet 1 and the movable magnet 2 penetrate into the human body and exert a magnetic effect. When the magnet 2 is pressed by the body weight as shown by the imaginary line in Fig. 5, strong finger pressure is exerted by the repulsion between the same polarities of the movable magnet 2 and the support magnet 1 and the attraction force between the different polarities. The movable magnet 2 presses against the human body, producing a great acupressure effect.

Fig. 6 shows another example of application of the magnetic acupressure body of the present invention to a stepping bamboo B. Holes are bored in the bamboo at appropriate intervals, and the bottom plate 5 is inserted from both sides of the holes. It is fixed by screwing the locking plate 8. Similarly to so-called green bamboo stepping, when a person steps on a magnet with the sole of the foot, the magnetic acupressure effect of both magnets 1 and 2 is applied to the human body through the sole of the foot.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, the magnetic acupressure body of the invention is used with both the movable magnet and the support magnet in direct contact with the human body, so that sufficient magnetic force lines penetrate into the human body. A satisfactory magnetic effect can be obtained, and since the outer peripheral surface of the outer flange of the movable magnet slides within the support magnet, the contact resistance can be reduced and the movable magnet can move smoothly.
Furthermore, since the outer flange is locked in surface contact with the inner peripheral surface of the support magnet, the mutual magnetic action is further strengthened.
As a result, the repulsive and attractive forces of the magnets enhance the acupressure effect, and the synergistic effect of the magnetic effect and the acupressure effect produces remarkable effects such as promoting blood circulation and relieving stiffness.

Moreover, since the movable magnet is housed inside the support magnet, no other protective material is required, resulting in significant savings in materials and processes, and has excellent effects on product miniaturization and ease of production. . In addition, since the bottom plate and the locking plate are engaged and disengaged by screwing means, they can be easily attached and detached, and the magnets will not fall off even under severe usage conditions, making it easy to use. Extremely convenient.
