JPH05220198A - Using method for suction type health implement - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To hold a pressure reduced state for many hours by a single suction by using a foaming body sheet as packing. CONSTITUTION:At the time of using the suction type health implement consisting of a suction pump 3, and a cup 2 made of transparent plastic, this using method is applied to the suction type health implement in which a foaming body sheet 1 of a doughnut shape having flexibility is interposed between a peripheral edge of an opening part of the cup 2 and the skin 4.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of using a suction type health appliance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a suction type health appliance including a suction pump and a transparent plastic cup has been proposed.
The health device applies the opening of the cup to the human skin and pulls the piston of the suction pump to decompress the inside of the cup to improve the blood circulation of the sucked human skin and eliminate stiff shoulders. is there.

[0003]

However, the health appliance cannot maintain the decompressed state for a long time even when sucked, because air is introduced from between the peripheral edge of the opening of the cup and the human skin. In particular, in the curved surface part of the arm etc., it is not possible to maintain the reduced pressure state,
It is troublesome because the piston must be redrawn many times. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a safe and reliable method of using a suction-type health appliance that can maintain a reduced pressure state of a cup for a long time.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a method of using a suction-type health appliance according to the present invention is such that, when a suction-type health appliance including a suction pump and a cup is used, the periphery of an opening of the cup and a human It is characterized in that a foam sheet is interposed between the skin and the skin. The foam sheet has a closed cell structure and is in a donut shape substantially along the periphery of the opening of the cup. The foam sheet is preferably a flexible foam, for example, a plastic foam such as a polyolefin foam, a foam of natural rubber or a synthetic rubber can be applied, and a crosslinked polyethylene foam is particularly preferable. When the crosslinked polyethylene-based foam has an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer as a base material, the foam has excellent flexibility, and the effect is particularly remarkable. The expansion ratio of the foam sheet is 10 to 5
A range of 0 times is preferable. The thickness of the foam sheet is 2 to
20 mm is preferable in terms of packing effect.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the following embodiments are examples of how to use the suction-type health appliance for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and are not limited to the following structures.
In the method of using the suction-type health appliance shown in the perspective view of FIG. 1, 1 is a crosslinked foamed product having an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer as a base material and having a foaming ratio of about 40 times and a uniform fine closed cell structure. .. 2 is a cup made of transparent plastic. Reference numeral 3 denotes a suction pump, and the cup 2 and the suction pump 3 can be freely attached and detached. Reference numeral 4 denotes human skin, which improves the blood circulation by applying the foam sheet 1 and reducing the pressure with the suction pump 3. Workability can be improved by attaching an adhesive to one side of the foam sheet 1 and adhering the foam sheet 1 to the peripheral edge of the opening of the cup 2 so as to be integrated. Alternatively, after the foam sheet provided with the adhesive surface is attached to human skin, the peripheral edge of the opening of the cup 2 may be applied to the surface of the foam sheet 1 and suctioned.

[0006]

As described above, according to the method of using the suction type health appliance of the present invention, the reduced pressure state can be maintained for a long time due to the packing effect of the foam sheet interposed between the cup and the human skin. The effect of the present invention is particularly remarkable when applied to curved surfaces such as arms. According to the method of the present invention, the depressurized state can be maintained for a long time with a single suction, so that an affected area such as shoulder stiffness can be easily treated with good workability.
