Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an acupressure device.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As a conventional acupressure device, an appropriate number of acupressure balls are fixed at a predetermined position on the base, and this acupressure device is placed on the floor, etc. It was used to press acupressure points on the body such as the back with shiatsu balls.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the position of the acupuncture points is slightly different depending on the body shape and body part of each person.Therefore, if the position of the acupressure ball is fixed like a conventional acupressure device, the acupressure ball can be accurately placed at the acupoint position. There was a problem that it was difficult to apply and the acupressure effect was small.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a acupressure device capable of finely adjusting the position of the acupressure ball according to the body type or body part of an individual. Suru

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides two arm portions that intersect in an X-shape, a shiatsu ball attached to both ends of each of the arm portions, and an intersection portion of the two arm portions. In this case, the intersection angle adjusting mechanism for increasing or decreasing the intersection angle is configured.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to the acupressure device configured as described above, both arm portions can be swingably fixed at a desired intersection angle by the intersection angle adjusting mechanism. In other words, the position of the acupressure ball can be freely adjusted according to the position of the pot.

[0007]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings illustrating an embodiment.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show an acupressure device according to the present invention. The acupressure device includes two arm portions 1a and 1b intersecting in an X shape and two arm portions 1a and 1b at both ends thereof. An acupressure ball 2 ... Attached thereto, and an intersection angle adjusting mechanism 3 for adjusting the intersection angle θ between the two arm portions 1a and 1b at the intersection of the two arm portions 1a and 1b. There is.

The arm portion 1 a includes a pair of holding members 4 and 4 for holding the acupressure balls 2 and 2 having a substantially U-shaped cross section so as to be vertically movable, and a connecting plate interposed between the holding members 4 and 4. And 5a.

Further, the holding member 4 is an elastic member such as a compression coil spring interposed between the bowl-shaped upper and lower covers 6 and 7, the stepped portion 10 of the acupressure ball 2 and the recess 11 of the lower cover 7. 8 and screws 9, 9 for screwing the upper cover 6 and fixing the upper and lower covers 6, 7.

The upper and lower covers 6 and 7 are sandwiched between both ends of the connecting plate 5a through the holes 12 at both ends of the connecting plate 5a.

The elastic member 8 constantly elastically urges the acupressure ball 2 inserted in the upper hole of the upper cover 6 upward, and the inner bottom surface 13 of the upper cover 6 has a collar portion 14 of the acupressure ball 2. Is locked by the elastic force, resulting in the state shown in Fig. 1.

Since the elastic force of the elastic member 8 is applied to the acupressure ball 2 in this way, an appropriate finger pressure can be obtained during use.

The arm portion 1b includes holding members 4 and 4 which are the same as those of the arm portion 1a, and a connecting plate 5b interposed between the pair of holding members 4 and 4.

The arms 1a and 1b are rotated around the axis A by a bolt 17 and an adjusting knob 18 screwed to the bolt 17 through the respective through holes 15 and 16 in the center. They are swingable with respect to each other and are cross-connected in an X shape.

Reference numeral 19 is a hexagonal hole that fits in the hexagonal shape of the head of the bolt 17, and serves as a stopper for the rotation of the bolt 17. On the outer peripheral surface of the adjustment knob 18, a plurality of concave grooves 20 ... For preventing slippage are formed.

As shown in FIG. 3, conical upper and lower meshing surfaces 21 and 22 are formed at the joints (intersections) at the center of both arms 1a and 1b.

The upper and lower meshing surfaces 21 and 22 are provided with triangular grooves extending in the radial direction at a predetermined pitch in the circumferential direction--a fine pitch is desirable--in the circumferences of the through holes 15 and 16, respectively, and the upper meshing surfaces are meshed with each other. The surface 21 has a convex shape and the lower meshing surface 22 has a concave shape so that they can be meshed.

The upper and lower meshing surfaces 21 and 22, the through holes 15 and 16, the bolt 17 and the adjusting knob 18 constitute the intersection angle adjusting mechanism 3.

Therefore, according to the acupressure device configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 2, the adjustment knob 18 is slightly loosened, and both the arm portions 1a and 1b are swung to each other so that the virtual The cross angle θ can be increased or decreased like a line.

Then, by tightening the adjusting knob 18, both arm portions 1a, 1b can be fixed at a desired intersection angle θ. That is, the positions of the acupressure balls 2 ... Can be adjusted by the intersection angle adjusting mechanism 3 and fixed at desired positions.

At this time, since the upper and lower meshing surfaces 21 and 22 are meshed with each other, the arm portions 1a and 1b are not easily displaced even when an external force is applied, and the intersection angle θ (position of the shiatsu balls 2 ... ) Can be maintained, and fine adjustment of the crossing angle is possible.

Further, it is convenient that the two arm portions 1a and 1b can be detached at the intersecting portion and separately used as the acupressure device having the two acupressure balls 2 and 2.

Next, a method of using the acupressure device will be described.

The positions of the acupressure balls 2 ... are adjusted and fixed by the intersection angle adjusting mechanism 3 as described above according to the positions of the acupuncture points such as the back of the user, and the acupressure device is fixed to the floor or the like. Place it.

Then, the body is placed on the acupressure device, the shiatsu balls 2 are placed at the positions of the acupressure points, and the acupressure balls 2 ...

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the design can be freely changed without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the lengths of the arms 1a and 1b can be increased or decreased. ..

[0028]

[Effect of the device]

 Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following great effects.

The positions of the acupressure balls 2 ... Can be finely adjusted according to the body shape and body part of an individual, and the acupressure balls 2 ... can be accurately aligned with the acupressure points. Therefore, a sufficient acupressure effect can be obtained in a short time.
