Abstract

PURPOSE:To generate an electromotive force between fibers and to medically care and protect against sickness through stimulation of an effective spot for a medical care by forming a covering film with a thickness of approximate 1-5mu on a firmament surface, knitting the filament in a clothform manner, and creating DC electric connection during contact with a skin. CONSTITUTION:A paint compound is prepared by means of a high molecular resin material serving as a vehicle and mixture powder, serving as a filler, of metallic powder and semiconductor crystal powder. In a fiber treating work by using the paint compound, a coating work is applied on a filament by means of a plurality of paint compounds having different compositions of the filler. When a DC electrical connection circuit formed of the filaments is brought into contact with a skin, an electromotive force wherein a fiber coated with paint rich iN metallic power as the filler produces an anode and a fiber coated with paint rich in semiconductor crystal powder produces a cathode is generated. This constitution medically cures and protects against sickness by bringing a clothform skin contacting tool into contact with a patient.

In recent years, in Oriental medicine, acupuncture points (hereinafter referred to as ``acupoints'') are contacted with some kind of physical or medical stimulation.
Many skin health treatments have been proposed that affect the ``acupoints''.
It is commercially available and contributes to the treatment and prevention of diseases of the human body, especially lower back pain and stiff shoulders, but for amateurs it is important to check the appropriate ``acupoint'' position and apply the skin contact tool to that position. However, there are drawbacks such as the difficulty in achieving the therapeutic and preventive effects of skin fittings.

The present invention uses a paint compound that uses a polymeric resin material as a paint vehicle and a mixed powder of a metal powder and a semiconductor crystal powder as a filler, but the composition of the filler is different! The fibers coated with several paint compounds are knitted into a cloth shape and applied to the skin.The fiber coating coat with the paint compound is processed by coating monofilaments of fibers with paint as shown in Figures 1 to 4. The compound is dip-coated, dried and cured to form a coating film approximately 1 to 5 microns thick on the surface of the fiber filaments.This is woven into a cloth and when it is in contact with the skin, a direct current electrical connection is created between the fibers. It generates electricity, which stimulates ``acupoints'' to treat and prevent diseases.

The present invention uses a polymeric resin material as a vehicle and a mixed powder of metal powder and semiconductor crystal powder as a filler to form a fiber processing treatment using a paint compound with a plurality of paints having different filler compositions. When a DC electrical connection circuit composed of fiber filaments coated with a compound is brought into skin contact with a living body, the fiber coated with a paint rich in metal powder, which is the filler in the paint compound, is used as an anode, and the fibers coated with a paint rich in semiconductor crystal powder are used as an anode. It was discovered that paint can generate an electromotive force using the coated fiber as a cathode, and the electromotive skin joint of the present invention was completed.

The above-mentioned electromotive force is generated by using a fiber cloth woven from fiber filaments processed with a coating compound made by using a polymer material as a vehicle and using a mixed powder of metal powder and semiconductor crystal powder as a filler. This phenomenon is caused by the formation of a battery when the body comes into contact with the skin and uses body fluids on the surface of the human skin as an electrolyte.The physics of this phenomenon has not been fully elucidated, but the electrochemistry between metals and semiconductors, which are used as fillers in paint compounds, is known. It is fully predicted that this is due to physical or quantum physical mechanisms.

On the other hand, in the example, a single 300-meter semiconductor crystal powder obtained by mechanically crushing an n-type germanium single crystal was used, but other semiconductor single crystal materials such as silicon or gallium arsenide single crystals can also be used. When drying and curing a paint compound that uses only semiconductor single crystal powder as a filler, the semiconductor single crystal powder has a high specific resistance, so if left as is, the internal resistance of the cured film would be high, and other materials with different filler compositions Even if a connection circuit is constructed with the cured film of the paint compound, the current is too small and the therapeutic effect as a textile/skin joint is insufficient. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the table -
As shown in the composition examples of paint compound types B-1 to B-4 in No. 1, by replacing a part of the semiconductor single crystal powder filler with metal powder, that is, silver powder, sufficient skin build-up can be achieved as a fiber-skin joint. It becomes possible to obtain electricity.

Vehicles for paint compounds containing metal powder and semiconductor single crystal powder as fillers are used to promote thermosetting reactions when thermosetting resins such as evoxin resin, phenol resin, and urethane resin, which are widely used in paints, are used. A small amount of catalyst is added. Thermal curing reaction usually takes place at 60 to 150°C.
Heating for about 3 hours is required. In addition, in the case of thermoplastic resin panels such as acrylic resin panels, about 10 to 100 parts by weight of butyl cellosolve, acetic acid, etc.
The paint film is cured and formed by volatilization of the solvent by heating to about 100°C.

In addition to the above-mentioned organic polymeric materials, inorganic materials such as phosphoric acid cement and various other cements can also be used as the vehicle for the paint compound used in the electromotive fiber-skin joint of the present invention. Since it does not have suitable flexibility and also has electrical insulation properties, it has the disadvantage of not being able to generate a sufficient electromotive force, making it unsuitable as a vehicle for the paint compound.
