Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] This invention is applied to so-called pressure points on the human body and presses and stimulates the pressure points to promote the body's metabolism and relieve fatigue. Related to acupressure tools for recovery and curing of affected areas.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional acupressure devices that press and stimulate pressure points on the human body, especially those on the feet, include split bamboo that you step on, or a split bamboo that you step on and transmit vibrations to the soles and arches of your feet, stimulating blood circulation. Vibrating acupressure devices and the like that promote this are known.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The split bamboo, which is the conventional acupressure tool mentioned above, requires a person to stand on it and perform a stepping motion.

Furthermore, although the vibrating acupressure device does not require a stepping motion, the device itself is expensive, which has hindered its widespread use.

Furthermore, conventional acupressure devices, including other acupressure devices, require special time and actions to apply acupressure, so they cannot be used by busy people or people who dislike such actions. It was hot.

〔the purpose〕

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional acupressure tools, and does not require any special time or action for acupressure; it can be simply attached to acupuncture points on the human body, and presses and stimulates them. Rather, the aim is to promote blood circulation by applying pressure similar to acupressure by repeating strong and relaxing pressure during daily activities such as walking, to recover from fatigue and treat affected areas, and to be able to provide it at a low price. shall be.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention is intended to achieve the above-mentioned object, and includes an acupressure part whose upper surface is formed into a spherical surface, an elastic part formed in an inverted conical shape from the hem of the acupressure part toward the upper surface, and a an adhesive part connected to the outer periphery of the part and having an upper surface substantially parallel to the top surface of the spherical surface; and an exhaust hole formed in at least one side of the acupressure part and the elastic part. A small protrusion is formed on the top surface of the acupressure part of the acupressure body having elasticity such as rubber or synthetic resin, and an adhesive sheet with the upper surface as the adhesive surface is attached to the lower surface of the acupressure body. This is a summary.

[Effect]

The acupressure device of this invention applies its small protrusions to pressure points on the body and attaches the adhesive sheet to the skin.
The small protrusions always slightly press and stimulate acupuncture points.

When external pressure is applied to the acupressure body during daily activities such as walking, the elastic part curves and the acupressure part and small protrusions press pressure points, etc., and when the pressure is removed, the elastic part returns to its original shape. Then, the pressure returns to slight pressure from the small protrusions, and the pressure is repeated in the same way as acupressure.

[Example of idea]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an acupressure body made of an elastic synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride or polyethylene, or an elastic body such as rubber.

This acupressure body 1 includes an acupressure part 1a whose upper surface is a spherical surface, a small protrusion 1b formed on the top surface of the acupressure part 1a, and an inverted conical shape from the hem of the acupressure part 1b toward the upper surface. An elastic part 1c, an adhesive part 1d extending outward continuously from the outer periphery of the elastic part 1c in a plane parallel to the top surface of the acupressure part 1a, and the acupressure part 1.
It consists of an exhaust hole 1e formed on the side surface of a.

2 has double-sided adhesive tape 3 attached to the top surface,
This is an adhesive sheet with this surface serving as an adhesive surface, and the double-sided adhesive tape 3 is adhered to the lower surface of the adhesive part 1d of the acupressure body 1.

This acupressure tool is made by temporarily adhering the double-sided adhesive tape 3 of the adhesive sheet 2 around the hole in the paper 4, which has a smooth surface and is coated with non-adhesive silicone, etc., as shown by the dashed line in FIG. The double-sided adhesive tape 3 is sold while being prevented from sticking to utensils, etc.

The customer who purchased this peels it off from paper 4,
The double-sided adhesive tape 3 of the adhesive sheet 2 is applied to the sole of the foot, with the small protrusions 1b aligned with the pressure points of the arch of the foot.

Then, since the top surface of the acupressure part 1a and the end surface of the adhesive part 1d of the acupressure body 1 are approximately horizontal, the small protrusion 1b is moved against the skin by the elasticity of the elastic part 1c by the height of the small protrusion 1b. It creates an inward force, thus applying slight pressure to the center of the skin to which it is applied.

Therefore, even when the person to whom it is attached is sitting on a chair, sitting, or lying down, it provides a gentle pressure sensation even when the person is not walking, and the stimulation promotes blood circulation and relieves fatigue. and treatment of the affected area.

During daily activities such as walking, the acupressure part 1a is
Since pressure corresponding to the person's weight is applied to the lower surface of the body, the elastic portion 1c deforms as shown in FIG. 3, and the acupressure portion 1a tends to protrude upward in accordance with the amount of deformation.

At this time, the air present between the acupressure part 1a and the elastic part 1c is discharged from the exhaust hole 1e, so that it does not interfere with the deformation of the elastic part 1c.

Due to this upward protrusion of the acupressure part 1a, the part of the body to which it is attached is strongly pressed, and is subjected to pressure similar to the pressure exerted by the fingertip in acupressure.

Next, when the foot rises while walking, air is sucked in through the exhaust hole 1e and the elastic part 1c returns to its initial state, so that the part of the body to which it is attached receives gentle pressure from the first small protrusion 1b. becomes.

In this way, while walking, strong pressure and gentle pressure are repeated, and similar to acupressure with fingertips, the area of the body where the adhesive is applied is massaged, promoting blood circulation in that area and massaging the muscles. It is used to recover from fatigue and treat painful affected areas.

In the above explanation, we have explained the state in which it is attached to the foot, especially the arch of the foot, but even if it is attached to other parts, gentle pressure is always applied, and as the area moves, pressure will be applied between it and clothes etc. The effect is similar to that of the foot.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which a small protrusion is formed by a magnet 5, and the lines of magnetic force coming out of this magnet 5 cause
Magnetic therapy is applied to the affected area, and the effect of the acupressure is further enhanced by applying gentle pressure from the small protrusions and applying strong pressure from the acupressure part 1a.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, with this invention, the small protrusions always give a gentle pressure to the part of the body to which it is attached and continue to stimulate that part, so you can use it while working at your desk.
Alternatively, the compression effect is maintained even when the body is not exercising, such as during night sleep, to relieve fatigue and treat painful affected areas.

Then, as the body moves, such as running, the attached part of the body is repeatedly subjected to strong pressure and gentle pressure due to the strong pressure from the acupressure part and the return of the acupressure part due to the elasticity of the elastic part. You can get the same acupressure effect as massaging and loosening.

Therefore, during physical exercise, the above-mentioned acupressure effect is
Since the effect of 46-hour gentle compression can be obtained even when the patient is at rest, there is no accumulation of fatigue, and painful affected areas can be effectively treated.

Moreover, this acupressure device has the advantage that it can be produced in large quantities through simple steps of molding the acupressure body, punching out the adhesive sheet, and pasting, and can be provided at a low price.
