Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a moxibustion device.

Conventionally, moxibustion involves placing moxa directly on the skin surface and igniting it, which leaves severe burns, blisters, ugly moxibustion marks, etc. on the skin, making it difficult for young women in particular to use it. In order to obtain the effect of moxibustion while preventing such moxibustion marks, warm moxibustion tools are commercially available.This moxibustion tool involves inserting a cylindrical moxa into an auxiliary tool that is fixed to the skin. In some cases, a vertically elongated through hole is provided in the center of the pedestal, and a space is maintained in the lower part of the through hole, and a cylindrical cylinder is provided in the upper part of the through hole, as proposed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 54-60977. Since the former method involves setting moxa upright, it is difficult to adjust the space between the skin and the moxa, making it difficult to adjust the sensation of heat, making it inconvenient for elderly people to handle. In both of the latter cases, the heat of burning moxa is transmitted to the skin through space;
Due to the insulating effect of the air in the space, it takes a long time after ignition to obtain the moxibustion effect on the skin, and the heat transferred to the skin through the space has varying degrees of strength, causing side effects such as burns. During combustion, moxa soot, burnt residue, essential oil components, etc. adhered to the skin, which was not only unsanitary, but also caused the risk of leaving marks on the skin.

In the present invention, a heat transfer base made of heat-resistant silicone resin is housed in the lower part of a vertical hole in the center of the pedestal, and the grass body is erected in the upper part of the hole on the base. Moreover, by providing an adhesive layer molded from silicone resin on the bottom of the pedestal so that it can be attached to the skin, it is convenient to handle and can be used immediately after ignition. It has a moxibustion effect, and there is no risk of side effects such as burns because the heat transmitted to the skin is constant, and it is hygienic because there is no soot, burnt residue, or essential oil components attached to the skin when moxa is burned. It is an object of the present invention to provide a moxibustion tool that is free from the possibility of leaving marks caused by these factors.

Embodiments of the present invention will be explained in detail based on the drawings.

The fifth embodiment is shown in FIG. 6, and the sixth embodiment is shown in FIG. 6. First, the first embodiment will be explained as follows.

That is, in the first embodiment, A indicates a warm moxibustion tool, and the warm moxibustion tool A has a vertical through hole 3 in the center of a substantially cylindrical base 2 having a tapered part 1 on the upper surface. A cylindrical heat transfer base 4 made of a heat-resistant resin is housed in the lower half of the hole 3, and on the base 4, a grass 6 is wrapped in wrapping paper 5 at the upper part of the through hole 3 to form a rod shape. A moxa body 7 is erected. Further, an adhesive layer 8 for adhesion to the skin is formed on the bottom surface of the base 4, and a release paper 9 is releasably adhered to the surface of the adhesive layer 8. In addition, when the heat transfer base 4 is attached to the skin,
The adhesive layer 8 for adhesion to the skin may be the same as long as it has a suitable adhesiveness.

In the second embodiment, a thermally conductive metal piece 10 whose lower end is embedded in the heat transfer base 4 is embedded in the moxa 6 of the first embodiment. The thermally conductive metal piece 10 may have any shape such as a rod or a plate, and may not have its lower end buried in the heat transfer base 4. Further, instead of the thermally conductive metal piece 10, powdered or fibrous thermally conductive metal may be mixed into the moxa 6.

In the third embodiment, the bottom surface of the heat transfer base 4 of the first embodiment is bulged downward to form a protrusion 11.
Incidentally, the number of protrusions 11 is not limited to one, but a plurality of protrusions may be provided on the bottom surface of the base 4.

In the fourth embodiment, a stick-shaped garlic 12 is housed inside the moxa 6 of the first embodiment. In addition, garlic 1
You may use ginger, miso, salt, chives, etc. in place of 2.

In the fifth embodiment, a filler layer 13 is formed at the base end of the moxa 6 of the first embodiment, and the same layer 13 and the heat transfer base 4 are formed.
An adhesive layer 14 is formed between the two. still,
The adhesive layer 14 was deliberately not formed without the filler layer 13.
may also be used as a filler. In the sixth embodiment, the upper surface of the pedestal 2 of the first embodiment has a tapered portion 1.
It is not formed as a horizontal surface, but as a horizontal surface.

In the seventh embodiment, the heat transfer base 4 is housed in the through hole 3 of the pedestal 2, the moxa body 7 is erected on the heat transfer base 4 without being inserted into the through hole 3, and the wrapping paper 5 The lower end of is glued to the pedestal 2 and fixed.

Next, the materials of the constituent elements of each example will be explained.
It is as follows.

That is, the pedestal 2 may be made of heat-resistant synthetic resin such as ebonite, paper, or the like, but thick paper is particularly preferable, and it is more preferable if the upper part of the pedestal 2 is covered with aluminum, noncombustible paper, or the like.

The heat transfer base 4 made of heat-resistant resin and the adhesive layer 8 for sticking to the skin are most preferably silicone-based resins, particularly diorganopolysiloxane whose terminal group is a vinyl group, and diorganopolysiloxane whose terminal group is a vinyl group and active hydrogen atoms whose terminal groups are both A product obtained by reacting a certain organohydrodiene polysiloxane is preferable because it has good biocompatibility, has a suitable adhesion to the skin, and is highly heat resistant. Other silicone resins are also preferred. Note that the heat transfer base 4 and the adhesive layer 8 may contain medicinal ingredients such as anti-inflammatory analgesics, transdermal absorption aids, etc., and may also be sprinkled with garlic, ginger, salt, miso, chives, etc. .

Further, the thermally conductive metal piece 10 and the thermally conductive metal powder may be made of nickel, aluminum, shell, iron, cobalt, an alloy, or an inorganic sintered body such as glass fiber.

Further, garlic, ginger, salt, miso, chive, etc. may be scattered or mixed in the moxa 6 in the form of powder, layers, or sticks.

The wrapping paper 5 is made of Japanese paper, strong Western paper, or the like.

Further, the release paper 9 may be made of polyethylene, polypropylene, or the like.

In addition, the filler layer 13 includes a clay binder.
Any solution of polyvinyl alcohol, starch, carboxymethyl cellulose, etc. may be used.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the shapes and materials of each component may be arbitrarily combined.

The embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, and when using the first embodiment, the release paper 9 is peeled off and the exposed adhesive layer 8 for sticking to the skin is removed.
If the moxibustion tool A is supported on the skin surface by adhering it to the skin surface, and the tip of the moxa body 7 is ignited, the heat from the combustion of the moxa 6 will be transmitted to the skin surface via the heat transfer base 4, producing a moxibustion effect. is obtained. At this time, the heat transfer base, which transmits the heat of combustion of the moxa to the skin surface and produces a moxibustion effect, is molded from heat-resistant silicone resin, so that the heat is transferred to the skin immediately after the moxa is ignited. By keeping the heat transmitted to the skin constant, it is possible to obtain an optimal thermal effect without overheating, and there is no risk of side effects such as burns.

Moreover, since the soot, burnt residue, essential oil components, etc. from moxa combustion do not adhere to the skin, it is hygienic, so there is no risk of leaving marks on the skin caused by these.

In addition, the adhesive layer for adhering the moxibustion device itself to the skin surface is also molded from silicone resin.
The same silicone resin has good biocompatibility, moderate adhesion suitable for skin adhesion, and high heat resistance, so it not only ensures good adhesive function but also prevents skin damage. etc. can be prevented.

In order to prove the moxibustion effect of the first example, a comparison was made between the first example and a commercially available moxibustion device.

In other words, a commercially available moxibustion device has a vertical hole in the center of the pedestal, a space is maintained in the lower part of the hole, and a rod-shaped moxa body is erected in the upper part of the hole. I use this commercially available moxibustion tool,
The tip of the moxa body of Example 1 was ignited, and the heat transfer temperature to the skin surface of each was observed over the elapsed time. The data are shown in graphs, where a is that of the first example and b is that of a commercially available moxibustion device. These data show that the heat transfer temperature to the skin of the first example increases in a short time after the moxa body 7 is ignited, and maintains a constant temperature for a long time after the increase.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the heat of burning the moxa 6 is conducted through the thermally conductive metal piece 10, so that the moxibustion effect can be obtained in a short time after ignition.

In the third embodiment, an acupressure effect can be obtained at the same time by the projections 11, in the fourth embodiment, a special moxibustion effect can be expected, and in the fifth embodiment, the sealant layer 13 or the adhesive layer 14 This prevents the heat transfer base 4 from entering the moxa 6 and also allows the moxa 6 to be fixed to the pedestal 2 by the adhesive layer 14. Further, in the fifth embodiment, the moxa main body 7 can be easily attached to the pedestal 2 during manufacturing. According to the present invention, the heat transfer base is housed in the lower part of the through hole provided vertically in the center of the pedestal, the grass body is erected in the upper part of the through hole on the base, and the bottom of the pedestal is It is convenient to handle because it can be attached to the skin, and the moxibustion effect can be obtained immediately after ignition, and the heat transmitted to the skin is constant, so there is no risk of side effects such as burns, and when moxa is burned. It is hygienic because there is no soot, burnt residue, or essential oil components attached to the skin, and there is no risk of leaving marks on the skin caused by these.
