Abstract

PURPOSE:To generate an adjustment effect over the entire body simply by mounting a head phone and listening to music by building a bioelectric actuator into the side of an acoustic diaphragm which comes into contact with the ear. CONSTITUTION:The bioelectric actuator 3 is built into the outer side of the diaphragm 2 in an ear contact part 1. The structure of this actuator consists of loops 4 formed by winding fine wires of good conductors, such as copper, gold and silver, to a coil shape and parts 5 extended in the diametral direction of the loops. The bioelectric actuator 3 usually acts on the body by making relative motion, such as vibration and rotation to the body. The bioelectric actuator 3 is known to generate a high reaction at the acupuncture point of the human body by its effect and acts on the route systems. The acupuncture points extending to the entire area of the human body concentrate at the ear. The entire part of the human body is eventually activated by acting the bioelectric actuator 3 on the ear. This action is highly effective coupled with the effect of stabilizing mind by music.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a headphone, and more particularly to a headphone having a bioelectrical element built therein.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A bioelectric actuator was invented by Mr. Natsui (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 49-16280) and was known by some people to have a great effect on normalization of the human body.
However, in recent years, its effect has been evaluated objectively, and mainly in the Biomagnetic Society, etc. (for example, Special Issue of the Biomagnetic Society of Japan Vol.3 No.1 June 1990), Western medical methods have been used. The evaluation trial of is starting. However, conventionally, the bioelectric actuator vibrates near the part that requires adjustment of the human body,
A method of giving a motion such as rotation and directly acting on the part has been performed.

[0003]

The above-mentioned adjustment method has a strong impression that it is a kind of medical treatment, and it is psychological and time-sensitive to make adjustments at any time. It was one obstacle. The present invention seeks to obtain a device that does not feel resistance and can be easily adjusted.

[0004]

According to the present invention, an electric actuator is built in the side of the headphone that contacts the ear of the acoustic diaphragm, and when the user listens to music, the bioelectric operator is vibrated by the acoustic vibration.

[0005]

It is known that a bioelectrical operator causes a large reaction in the acupoints of the human body by its action, and is considered to act on the meridian system. By the way, the acupuncture points that cover the whole area of the human body are concentrated in the ear, and the action of the bioelectrical element on the ear activates the entire human body. And, this effect is highly effective in combination with the effect of music to stabilize the mind.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an overall image of a headphone according to the present invention, and reference numeral 1 denotes an ear pad portion containing an acoustic diaphragm. A cross section of the ear pad 1 is shown in FIG. 2, and the bioelectric effector 3 is built in the outside of the diaphragm 2.

The structure of the bioelectric actuator is the same as that of a well-known one, and typically, as shown in FIG. 3, a loop 4 of a fine conductor wire of copper, gold, silver or the like is wound in a coil shape. ,
It consists of a diametrically extending portion 5 of this loop. Usually, this bioelectrical operator exerts its action by making relative motion such as vibration and rotation with respect to the body. However, the bioelectrical operator referred to here is not limited to the above structure, but a copper wire is stretched in a fine mesh shape in the loop 4, and the same coil as the loop 4 is densely spirally formed. Various shapes can be used, such as those that are rolled up.

In the present invention, the relative movement of the bioelectrical operator is given by acoustic vibration. In music therapy and the like, particularly low-frequency vibrations are transmitted not only through the eardrum but also directly to the body or bones, and it is considered that the low-frequency vibrations are particularly large also in the headphones of the present invention. In addition, it is considered that the action of the bioelectrical element is amplified by being given by music in a relaxed state. In fact, it has a great effect on music with 1 / f vibration such as classical music, but even if the music does not have a 1 / f structure such as rock or disco music, it is always appreciated like young people. The person can also see the effect by these music.

In order to confirm the effect of the above-mentioned headphone, a visceral-autonomic nerve function diagnostic device (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 52-4878 and 62-62) by measuring impedance fluctuation between an appropriate portion of the body and the acupuncture point. -324)
The diagnostic result by is shown. FIG. 4 is a chart of the measurement results, which corresponds to FIG. 11b of JP-A-62-324. In the figure, the thin line is before use, and the thick line is after use. In both cases, the area surrounded by the thick line expands, showing activation of the meridian system and the left-right balance is also improved. Further, FIG. 5 shows the measurement results corresponding to FIG.
Is the result before use and b is the result after listening to music for 15 minutes. After listening to music, the average value decreases from 50 to 25, the deviation from the average value becomes extremely small, and it is clear that the activity of the autonomic nerves has subsided.

[0010]

Since the headphone of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, the adjustment effect over the whole body is produced only by wearing the headphone and listening to music. Especially in Qigong teachers, the emission of aura was remarkably increased, and it was impossible to listen to music for a long time.
