Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

This invention relates to a heating device that aims to improve health by heating local areas on the surface of the human body.In particular, the heating device uses an incense-shaped burning stick to heat the tip, and then holds it in the hand to heat the heated part. The present invention relates to a device that heats a local part of the body surface while moving it by lightly pressing the body surface into contact with the body surface.

[Conventional technology]

A so-called moxibustion device, which has the overall shape of a fountain pen and heats the tip by placing a thick incense stick inside, is well known. This heating device, a moxibustion device, consists of an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder that can be inserted into and taken out from each other, an incense stick protrudes from the tip of the inner cylinder, and the incense stick is lit to heat the tip of the outer cylinder. When in use, the incense stick must not touch the heating surface at the tip of the outer cylinder to prevent the flame from extinguishing.
For this reason, to prevent the position of the outer cylinder and inner cylinder from shifting,
It is necessary to press the tip of the outer tube against the body surface while holding both tubes with your hands.
It had the disadvantage that it was difficult to easily move it freely to any part of the body surface by hand. In particular, with this type of device, two tubes are placed in parallel and held together, and the two tubes heat the body surface, so it is best to hold the inner tube and outer tube in a preferred position and move them along the body surface. It had a difficult drawback. Furthermore, since the incense stick burns from the tip and gradually becomes shorter, it is necessary to gradually push the inner cylinder into the outer cylinder according to the length of the incense stick. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the positions of the inner and outer cylinders while checking the burning state of the incense stick. A moxibustion device has been developed in which a flange is provided at the rear end of the inner cylinder, a coil spring is inserted between the flange and the outer cylinder, and the coil spring elastically rebounds when the inner cylinder is pushed into the outer cylinder. There is. However, in this moxibustion device, the inner tube and outer tube cannot be stopped in a predetermined position, so the inner tube and outer tube must be held by hand to prevent them from shifting, similar to moxibustion devices without coil springs. , it was necessary to press the body surface, which was inconvenient to operate. Furthermore, a moxibustion device in which the inner cylinder can be stopped at a predetermined position of the outer cylinder is described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 48-51191. This moxibustion device has a clip on the outer cylinder to stop the inner cylinder at a predetermined insertion position. The clip presses against the surface of the inner cylinder through the through window of the outer cylinder to stop the inner cylinder in a predetermined position. In a moxibustion device with this structure, the inner cylinder can be taken in and out by opening the clip by hand.

[Problem that this idea aims to solve]

Since the moxibustion device having this structure can stop the inner cylinder at a predetermined position, it can be used without moving the inner cylinder with respect to the outer cylinder. However, the moxibustion device with this structure has the drawback that it is difficult to adjust the heating surface at the tip of the outer cylinder to an optimal temperature, and it is difficult to comfortably heat the surface of the human body. The reason for this is that when the clip is opened, the inner cylinder can be moved freely, making it difficult to adjust the distance between the tip of the combustion rod set in the inner cylinder and the heating surface to an optimum value. That is, when the clip is opened, the inner cylinder becomes freely movable, making it difficult to make fine adjustments to the inner cylinder. In addition, since the user had to open the clip with one hand and insert and remove the inner tube with the other hand, there was also the drawback that it was not possible to adjust the insertion position of the inner tube while holding the moxibustion device with one hand. Furthermore, a moxibustion device whose insertion position into an outer cylinder can be adjusted by rotating the inner cylinder is described in Utility Model Application Publication No. 6412 of 1932. The moxibustion device described in this publication has screw threads on the rear ends of the outer and inner cylinders, a wire mesh is attached to the tip of the outer cylinder, and a combustion rod is inserted into the inner cylinder to hold it as a weight. The structure is such that the tip of the combustion rod is pressed against the wire mesh. This moxibustion device can adjust the insertion amount into the outer cylinder by rotating the inner cylinder. In the moxibustion device having this structure, the tip of the combustion rod is brought into contact with the wire mesh to adjust the distance between the combustion rod and the wire mesh. Therefore, it has the advantage that the distance between the tip of the combustion rod and the heating surface of the outer cylinder can be kept constant at all times. However, moxibustion devices with this structure cannot smoothly discharge the ash, which is the remains of the combustion rod, and the temperature of the heating surface at the tip of the outer cylinder fluctuates due to the ash, and if a large amount of ash accumulates, There was a drawback that the burning stick disappeared. This device was developed with the aim of solving these drawbacks.The important purpose of this device is to be able to easily and accurately adjust the temperature of the heating surface, and to The purpose of the present invention is to provide a convenient local warming device for the human body. Another important object of the present invention is to provide a local warming device for the human body that will not disappear due to the inner cylinder being inadvertently displaced and the tip of the combustion rod coming into contact with the outer cylinder. Furthermore, another important purpose of this invention is that the inner cylinder can be easily and quickly inserted into and removed from the outer cylinder by simply pulling or pushing the inner cylinder. It can be easily removed, and
To provide a local warming device for a human body that can quickly draw out the amount equivalent to the combustion amount of a combustion rod.

It is opened. (d) Furthermore, the inner cylinder 2 is inserted into and out of the outer cylinder 1, and the combustion rod 5 attached to the inner cylinder 2 directly heats the heating surface 4 at the tip of the outer cylinder. It is configured to locally warm the human body by bringing it into contact with the human skin. (e) A plurality of protrusions 11 are provided at the rear end of either the inner tube 2 or the outer tube 1 to extend in the circumferential direction. (f) The plurality of protrusions 11 are arranged at constant intervals in the axial direction. (g) The inner tube 2 and the outer tube 1 are not provided with the protrusions 11, and the elastic body 3 is attached thereto. (h) The elastic body 3 includes elastic projections 14, 18, and 19 that are elastically pressed against the projection 11 provided at the rear of either the inner cylinder 2 or the outer cylinder 1.

[Action, effect]

The local heating device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 according to a preferred embodiment of this invention is used in the following conditions. A combustion rod 5 is inserted into the inner cylinder 2 and set, and the tip of the combustion rod 5 is lit. Inner cylinder 2 with combustion rod 5 set therein is inserted into outer cylinder 1. At this time, if the inner tube 2 is strongly inserted into the outer tube 1, the elastic body 3 will be deformed.
The inner cylinder 2 can be inserted into a predetermined position. Insert the inner cylinder 2 into the optimal position of the outer cylinder 1. Do it as follows. The inner cylinder 2 is inserted into the outer cylinder 1 until the tip of the combustion rod 5 lightly collides with the heating surface of the outer cylinder 1. The inner tube 2 is pulled out by a certain length from the outer tube 1. The amount by which the inner cylinder 2 is pulled out can be determined by the number of protrusions 11 that exceed the locking position of the elastic body 3. Inner cylinder 2
When the elastic body is pulled out from the outer cylinder 1, the elastic body exceeds the unevenness of the protrusions 11, so every time it passes through the protrusions 11,
There is a steady pause sound, and the elastic body 3 is lightly locked in the groove between the protrusions 11. Therefore, the amount by which the inner cylinder 2 is pulled out can be determined by counting the number of elastic bodies that exceed the protrusions 11.
For example, if the inner cylinder 2 is inserted to a position where the tip of the combustion rod 5 touches the heating surface 4, and then the inner cylinder 2 is pulled out beyond the two protrusions 11, the tip of the combustion rod 5 and
The distance from the heating surface 4 can be determined by the width of the two protrusions 11. That is, the local heating device of this invention can adjust the distance between the tip of the combustion rod 5 and the heating surface 4 by counting the number of elastic bodies 3 exceeding the protrusions 11, and as it is used, The combustion rod 5 burns from the tip and becomes shorter. When the combustion rod 5 becomes shorter, the distance from the heating surface 4 becomes longer, and the temperature of the heating surface 4 becomes lower. When the combustion rod 5 becomes short, it is pulled out from the inner tube 2 and the outer tube 1, and after removing the ash adhering to the tip of the combustion rod 5, the inner tube 2 is inserted into the outer tube 1 again. In this case, the distance between the tip of the combustion rod 5 and the heating surface 4 of the outer cylinder 1 is adjusted accurately in the same manner as described above. When the elastic body 3 is fitted between the protrusions 11 of the inner cylinder 2, the movement of the inner cylinder 2 is stopped. Therefore, in this state, by holding the outer cylinder 1 in the hand and bringing the heating surface 4 into contact with a desired part of the body surface, thermal stimulation can be performed. In other words, the human body local warming device of this invention is
By strongly pressing or pulling the inner cylinder, it can be easily inserted and removed from the outer cylinder, and by counting the number of elastic bodies that exceed the protrusions, the tip of the combustion rod and the It has the advantage of being able to accurately adjust the distance from the hot surface. Therefore, the local heating device of this invention has the advantage of being able to simply and easily and accurately control the temperature of the heating surface and effectively stimulating the body surface with heat. In addition, in the local heating device of this invention, after inserting the inner cylinder into a predetermined position, the inner cylinder is pulled out a certain length and stopped at a predetermined position, so that the tip of the lit combustion rod Another feature is that it prevents the fire from extinguishing due to contact with the inner surface of the outer cylinder. Furthermore, the local heating device of this invention can be easily removed from the outer cylinder by pulling the inner cylinder strongly, and then the inner cylinder can be inserted into the correct position, making it easy to remove ash from the combustion rod. It also has the advantage of being able to accurately adjust the subsequent stopping position. By the way, the local heating device of this invention is often used by holding two devices in parallel in the hand in order to simultaneously heat stimulate two places that are close to each other. In this case as well, each local heating device can be kept in a state where the inner cylinder does not move, making it extremely convenient to use.
