Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a cold/thermal massage device that aims to recover from physical fatigue by alternately repeating body heating and heat absorption.

(Prior art) Generally, when the body heats up and absorbs heat alternately, the muscles repeatedly contract and relax.
It is medically known that it improves blood circulation in capillaries, stimulates peripheral nerves, promotes sweating, and relieves physical fatigue.

Focusing on this point, the applicant has filed an application for the device shown in FIG. 5 (Utility Application No. 163817-1981). That is,
A transparent cover body 2 having a semicircular cross section is placed on a table 1 on which the body is placed, and a flow pipe 3 is provided in which a high-temperature heat medium and a low-temperature heat medium alternately flow through the table 1 and the cover body 2. This is a cold/thermal pine surge device.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the cold/thermal massage device, the circulation pipe 3 alternately heats and absorbs heat from the body, promoting sweating. Since the device is not equipped with a music device or the like, there is a problem in that it becomes boring and even painful when the device is physically restrained for a long period of time.

In addition, as mentioned above, since heat is directly conducted to the body that comes into contact with the distribution pipe 3 and the body is immediately heated and heat absorbed, care must be taken to avoid causing heat shock such as myocardial infarction. It was necessary to do this in a way that would not cause burns or frostbite on the body. Therefore, the temperature range between cold and hot temperatures is small, and there is a possibility that the effect of recovering from physical fatigue cannot be sufficiently achieved.

(Purpose of the invention) In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention recovers physical fatigue without causing boredom or pain, and without causing heat shock, even when used for a long time. Can be made cold
The present invention aims to provide a thermal pine surge device.
