Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a health appliance for stimulation such as ear acupuncture points. More specifically, the present invention relates to a health appliance that can be used as a body accessory such as earrings, bracelets, and anklets.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various acupuncture points in acupuncture are concentrated in the human auricle, and in particular, the lower part of the inner surface of the auricle balances hormones, which are so-called "hormone-adjusting acupoints". There are acupoints, so-called "thinning acupoints" that suppress appetite, and acupoints that improve the function of internal organs and increase metabolism. Therefore, conventionally, there is a case where the acupuncture point is hit with a needle for treatment, a placement needle is pierced, or a small magnet is applied and left for a few days as it is.

On the other hand, conventionally, an earlobe (ear lobe) is sandwiched by springs and screws to hang ornaments, or a through hole is formed in the ear lobe to pass a noble metal shaft, and both ends of the shaft are ringed. Earrings that are used to hang ornaments by connecting them in a line are used, but these earrings and earrings are also said to have acupoint stimulation effects to some extent. Further, there is known a bracelet in which a metal main body is bent in an arc shape, a pair of metal bulge portions are fixed to both ends thereof, and a permanent magnet is embedded inside the bulge portions. In this device, the main body part is elastically or plastically deformed to widen the interval between the enlarged parts and is attached to the wrist, and the decorative effect and the magnet therapeutic effect are combined.

[0004]

When hitting a needle on the acupuncture point, it is necessary to repeat the treatment several times. Moreover, the therapeutic effect of the placement needle is maintained for a long period of time, but the user continues to have pain and is unsightly. On the other hand, earrings and piercings cannot stimulate the various acupuncture points inside the auricle. Further, in the bracelet having the above-mentioned magnetic therapeutic effect, the magnet cannot be replaced. Therefore, if the magnetic force becomes weak, magnetic therapy cannot be expected and it is necessary to replace the whole.

The present invention provides a novel health device for stimulation such as acupuncture points which are capable of constantly stimulating hormone-adjusting acupuncture points inside the auricle or thin acupuncture points, and which have a good appearance and are hard to fall off. This is a technical issue. Further, a second technical object of the present invention is to provide a health appliance which can easily replace the magnet when the magnet of the health appliance having the magnetic therapeutic effect becomes weak. Further, a third technical object of the present invention is to provide a health appliance in which a decorative article can be easily attached to the ring-shaped main body and can be easily replaced.

[0006]

A health appliance for stimulation such as an ear point according to the present invention comprises a central portion, a hook portion bent from one end thereof, and a tip of the hook portion so as to be folded back from the other end. It is characterized in that it comprises a back-pressing portion that extends to the vicinity of, and the tip of the hooking portion is rounded. In such a device, the central portion gradually tapers toward both ends and smoothly connects to the hooking portion and the back holding portion, respectively, and the hooking portion and back holding portion tapers toward the tip, respectively. It is preferable that the tip of the back-pressing portion extends to the extension line of the tip of the hooking portion and is rounded. Furthermore, the whole is integrally formed of a rigid material, and between the tip of the hooking portion and the tip of the back pressing portion is 2 to

Alternatively, the whole or a part of the elastic member may be made of an elastically deformable material so that the distance between the tip of the hooking portion and the tip of the back pressing portion can be elastically expanded. Further, a mechanism for adjusting the gap between the tip of the hooking portion and the tip of the back pressing portion may be provided. In the case where the whole is integrally manufactured from a material having rigidity or elasticity, it is preferable that the central portion, the hook portion and the back pressing portion are smoothly curved so as to have a C-shape as a whole. It may also be made entirely of transparent material, especially glass. The weight of the equipment is 8 in each case.
It is preferably about 30 to 30 g, particularly about 10 to 20 g. Further, a tube-shaped main body with one end opening formed in a substantially arc shape so that a gap can be formed between both ends, an arc-shaped inner shaft inserted into the retracting itself from the opening end of the main body, It may be composed of a spring for urging the inner shaft so as to always project. In any of the above cases, it is preferable that the tip portion that comes into contact with the auricle has magnetism.

According to another aspect of the health appliance of the present invention, a main body made of a wire bent in a substantially arc shape, and a spherical shape constituting the tips of the hooking portion and the back pressing portion attached to both ends of the main body portion. It is characterized in that it is composed of an enormous part, at least one of the enlarging parts is embedded with a permanent magnet, and the entire size is the size of an earring. In that case, it is preferable that the end of the main body is inserted into the hole formed in the enlarged portion and the magnet is embedded in the extension direction of the hole with the magnetic pole exposed from the other end. Further, it is more preferable that the magnets are embedded in both the enlarged portions and the exposed magnetic poles of both magnets are the N pole and the S pole.

Still another aspect of the health appliance of the present invention is composed of a main body made of a wire bent in a substantially arc shape, and an enlarged portion attached to both ends of the main body portion, at least one enlarged portion being the main body portion. It is characterized by being detachably attached to. It is preferable to suspend a decorative member having a ring-shaped connecting ring of a size that allows the main body portion to pass therethrough and does not allow the enlarged portion from passing through the main body portion. Further, it is preferable that the end portion of the main body portion is linear and a male screw is provided, and a female screw that is screwed with the male screw is formed in the enlarged portion. Further, it is possible to adopt a structure in which a hole for attaching the end part of the main body part penetrates the enlarged part, a magnet is embedded in the tip end side of the through hole, and the size of the entire earring is further adopted. .

Further, the main body portion is formed of a wire material curved in an arc shape, and the male threads formed on both ends of the main body portion are detachably screwed to the inner surface sides of the flattened flat portions, respectively. In addition, a female screw that is screwed with the male screw is formed, a permanent magnet is embedded on the inner surface side, and the entire size is a bracelet or anklet. In that case, it is preferable that the permanent magnets are embedded in such a manner that different magnetic poles are exposed, and further, a ring having a size that allows the main body portion to pass through the main body portion and does not pass through the enlarged portion. It is preferable that a decorative member having a ring-shaped connecting ring is suspended.

[0011]

In the device of the present invention, the hooking portion is hooked near the lower end of the arc-shaped ridge part which is somewhat inward from the inner surface side of the auricle, and the back pressing portion is applied to the back side of the auricle. Installing. In this state, the ear canal can be hung in a relatively free state without falling down without being strongly tightened. Therefore, when you move your body, the device shakes, and the tip of the hook part repeatedly stimulates your acupoint.

In the case where the entire body is made of a rigid body such as glass or metal, the gap between the hook portion and the back-pressing portion is passed through the portion of the upper portion of the auricle that has a low ridge or a portion without a ridge, and the hook portion Move along the inside of the arc-shaped ridge to the lower side and hang it at the lower end.

A device having elasticity in whole or in part is mounted in the same manner as described above, but at this time, it can be easily mounted by widening the gap between the hook portion and the back pressing portion. The device provided with the mechanism for adjusting the gap can adjust the gap according to the thickness of the ear of the user, so that the wearing feeling can be further improved and the fall-off preventing action is great. When the tip has magnetism, the stimulation by contact and the action of magnetism are combined, and a more excellent health promoting action is achieved.

An instrument comprising a main body curved in a substantially arc shape and spherical bulging portions provided at both ends thereof, and a magnet embedded in one or both of the bulging portions is easy to manufacture. Furthermore, since the swelling part is spherical, there is no risk of damaging the body. When used as earrings, one ampulla is hooked inside the ear and the other ampulla is applied to the back of the earlobe. Further, if the insertion hole at the end of the main body formed in the enlarged portion and the accommodation hole for accommodating the magnet are communicated with each other, the manufacturing is further facilitated. In the case where a pair of permanent magnets are provided on both ampulles so that different magnetic poles face each other, the opposing magnets cooperate to stimulate the acupoints of the ears, which is more healthy.

In the case where one or both of the bulged portions are detachable, a separate ornament can be attached to the main body portion with the bulged portion removed. Furthermore, if the magnetic force of the permanent magnet becomes weaker, it is possible to easily replace the enormous part. Since the enormous part is attached during use, it is difficult for the ornaments to fall off. Moreover, since the decoration member moves on the main body, the decoration effect is high. Further, when the hole for attaching the permanent magnet and the hole for the female screw are formed as a common through hole, the parts can be easily manufactured. Since the permanent magnet can be pushed out using the through hole, only the permanent magnet can be replaced. In a bracelet or anklet having an inflated part with a magnet directed inside, a pair of permanent magnets and a main body form a closed magnetic path. Therefore, it is good for your health by putting it on your wrists or ankles. Furthermore, since the permanent magnets can be exchanged for each enormous part, when the magnetic force weakens, it can be easily exchanged for a strong magnetic force.

Is.

In the instrument A shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, one end of a so-called spindle-shaped rod, which has a thick central portion 1 and narrows toward both ends, is bent at a substantially right angle to form a hooking portion 2, and the other end is folded back. Has the shape of the back pressing portion 3
It has a C shape as a whole. It should be noted that "bending" in the above description does not mean actually bending and manufacturing, but is merely for explaining the shape, and a mold is used to form the shapes shown in FIGS. It may be molded or may be formed by cutting.

The tip 4 of the hooking portion 2 and the tip 5 of the back-pressing portion 3 are formed in a round shape because they are portions that come into contact with the auricle. Further, the tip 5 of the back-pressing portion 3 extends to the position of the extension line 6 of the tip 4 of the hooking portion 2, and 2 to 5 are provided between the tip 4 of the hooking portion 2 and the tip 5 of the back-pressing portion 3.
There is a gap 7 of about 8 mm, preferably about 3-5 mm.

The above-mentioned device A is preferably integrally formed of a transparent material such as glass, particularly crystal glass containing lead, so that a beautiful appearance can be provided.
However, precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum, ceramics, fine ceramics, synthetic resins such as acrylics,
You may manufacture by combining these. Alternatively, it may be manufactured by mixing a glass material with a dielectric substance.

The instrument A formed as described above is attached to the auricle 8 as shown in FIG. In general, there is a soft peripheral edge 9 which is raised somewhat forward around the ear shell 8, and an earlobe 10 is provided at the lower end of the peripheral edge 9. Further, inside the peripheral edge portion 9 is a somewhat hard ridge 11 including cartilage extending from the vicinity of the center to the lower portion of the auricle 8 in the vertical direction. Therefore, the instrument A is first inserted into the upper portion of the auricle 8 having only the soft peripheral edge portion 9 so as to pass through the gap (7 in FIG. 1) between the ends of the hook portion 2 and the back pressing portion 3 (FIG. 4).
See the solid line). At that time, the tip of the hooking portion 2 has a peripheral edge portion 9
, And the back-pressing portion 3 is on the back side of the auricle 8.

Then, as indicated by an arrow P from that state,
The instrument A is rotated clockwise and lowered along the peripheral edge 9 (see the imaginary line E1). At this time, the tip 4 of the hook 2 is to be fitted inside the somewhat hard ridge 11. Then, as indicated by an arrow Q, the instrument A is brought to the lower end of the auricle 8 while the tip 4 of the hook 2 is placed along the inside of the raised portion 11. Then, the central portion 1 is hung at the lower end thereof so as to face downward (see imaginary line E2). In this suspended state, as shown in FIG. 5, the hooking portion 2 is a narrow portion between the raised portion 11 of the auricle 8 and the somewhat hard protrusion 12 protruding rearward from the base side of the auricle 8. 13 and the tip 4 of the hooking portion 2 and the tip 5 of the back pressing portion 3 are thin portions 14 of the auricle 8.
It is in a state of sandwiching. Further, since the soft earlobe 10 is in the empty space 15 in the middle of the device A, it does not get in the way.

Therefore, in this state, the tip 4 of the hooking portion 2 stimulates a so-called "hormone adjusting acupuncture point" of the thin portion 14, and the instrument A relatively shakes freely, so that the ear acupoint is repeatedly stimulated. . Also, when rocking, other acupuncture points and acupoints for adjusting the built-in points are stimulated. The device A is usually used for treatment at home, especially for men, but since it has the appearance of earrings, it can also be worn while being worn by women.

The instrument B shown in FIG. 6 has the same appearance as the instrument A shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, but most of it is made of a magnetically permeable metal, and the tip side of the hook 2 and the back-pressing portion 3 are formed. Permanent magnets 16 and 17 are attached or embedded on the tip side. The permanent magnets 16 and 17 are arranged so that their magnetic poles are opposite to each other. The permanent magnet 17 of the back pressing portion 3 may be omitted. In addition to physically stimulating the acupoint of the ear, the instrument B with a magnet like this
Magnetic therapy can also be performed. In the example of FIG.
The instrument B is hollow with a cavity 18 inside, but it may of course be solid, and parts other than the magnet may be synthetic resin, glass, or the like. In that case, a dielectric substance may be mixed in the glass material.

The instrument C shown in FIG. 7 has substantially the same shape as that of FIG. 1, but is entirely made of an elastic material such as synthetic resin. Therefore, when the user holds the hooking portion 2 and the back-pressing portion 3 and pulls them in the directions of the arrows R1 and R2, they are bent as shown by imaginary lines, and the gap 7 between the tips of both is widened. Therefore, the work of attaching to the auricle is easy. When the gap 7 is made narrower than in the case of FIG. 1, for example, the thin portion of the auricle where they are to be attached (reference numeral 14 in FIG. 4).
If it is made somewhat thinner than the wall thickness of the ear, the restoring force based on elasticity can provide a stimulus that constantly presses the ear pot. The magnets 16 and 17 similar to those in the case of the instrument B in FIG. 6 may be provided in this.

Although the instrument D shown in FIG. 8 has rigidity in each part, it is rotatably jointed by a pin 19 or the like in the middle of the central portion 1 or between the central portion 1 and the back pressing portion 3, and the back pressing is performed. A spring 20 elastically urges the portion 3 side closer to the hook 2 side. Further, an angle adjusting mechanism including a screw 21 is provided between the two. This can expand the gap 7 at the time of mounting like the device C of FIG. Further, if the size of the gap 7 is selected, the ear shell can be sandwiched and the ear pot can be pressed at all times. By further adjusting the screw 21, the size of the gap 7 can be adjusted, so that an appropriate feeling of pressure can be obtained according to the user's ear.
And it can be adjusted so as not to fall off. The magnets 16 and 17 similar to those in the case of the device B of FIG.
May be provided.

As described above, the device of the present invention is useful for promoting health by stimulating the acupuncture points at the time of use, but it looks almost the same as the earrings and looks good. Especially when the whole is made of transparent glass or synthetic resin as described above, it gives a refreshing and cool impression. In addition, when a grain diamond or the like is embedded in such a transparent glass or a synthetic resin to form a pattern or a pattern is formed on the surface with a gold wire or a silver wire, a decorative effect can also be achieved. In addition, although all of the above-described embodiments have a C-shape, other shapes such as a polygonal shape, for example, a U-shape can be used. Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the central portion, the hook portion and the back pressing portion all have a circular or elliptical cross section, but may have a polygonal cross section or the like.

An instrument F shown in FIG. 9 has a main body 24 in which a tube having a circular cross section closed at one end is bent into an arc shape so that a gap 23 is provided between both ends, and a spring 25 inserted into the main body 24.
And an arcuate inner shaft 26 inserted into the main body 24 so as to be constantly urged by the spring 25 in the direction of exiting from the opening end 24a. All of these parts are usually made of metal. However, parts other than the spring 25 may be molded of synthetic resin or the like. A flange portion 27 is formed at the free end of the inner shaft 26 to prevent the inner shaft 26 from entering the main body 24, and the flange portion 27 has a protrusion 2 for ear point stimulation.
8 are provided. Further, the inner shaft 26 has a protrusion 28 on the main body 2.
4 is fully in contact with the closed end 24b of the main body 2
The length remains within 4. The closed end 24b is flat or is concave so as to receive the protrusion 28.

In this product, with the inner shaft 26 retracted into the main body as shown by an imaginary line, both ends of the main body 24 are mounted so as to sandwich the thin portion 14 (see FIG. 4), and then the inner shaft 26 is inserted.
Is made to project by the urging force of the spring 25, and the thin portion 14 is attached so as to be elastically sandwiched between the closed end 24b of the main body and the flange portion 27 of the inner shaft 26. Therefore, once attached, it is hard to come off, and the elastic force of the spring 25 can always stimulate the ear pot. In this case, the inner shaft 26 acts as a hooking portion, and the closed end 24b side acts as a back pressing portion.

It should be noted that the closed end 24b of the main body may be provided with a protrusion to flatten the collar portion 27. In that case, the hooking portion and the back holding portion are reversed. In addition, protrusions may be provided on both of them, and the protrusions may stimulate the ear pots. In that case, both can function as both the hooking portion and the back-pressing portion. Furthermore, even when the inner shaft 26 is most protruding,
Slight (2-4 mm) between the tip and the closed end of the body
You may make it provide the stopper which regulates the protrusion length of the inner shaft 26 so that a clearance may remain. Such a stopper is, for example, a depression (part of the imaginary line 2) in a part of the main body 24.
It can be configured by providing 9). Figure 10
The instrument F2 shown in FIG. 9 has a protrusion 28 and a closed end 24b of the instrument F of FIG.
Relatively large magnets 34, 35 of about 0 to 2000 gauss
It is attached or embedded. This one is as easy to install as the instrument F of FIG. 9 and has the same magnetic therapeutic effect as the instrument B of FIG.

11a and 11b each show an embodiment of a health appliance having a relatively high remanence to increase the therapeutic effect of the magnet. The instrument G of FIG. 11a has a ring-shaped body portion 30 that is elastically deformable, and spherical abutting portions or enlarged portions 31 and 32 fixed to both ends thereof. The main body portion 30 is usually a wire rod having a diameter of 2 to 5 mm formed into a ring shape having a diameter of 2 to 4 cm, preferably about 2.5 to 3 cm. The enlarged portions 31 and 32 are formed by embedding permanent magnets 34 and 35 in a metal frame 33 having a diameter of 4 to 8 mm. The magnetic poles of both magnets 34, 35 are opposite to each other. Then, when attaching to the auricle, the enlarged parts 31, 32 are expanded to some extent, one is brought into contact with a delicate point of the ear, and the other is brought into contact with the back side of the auricle.
A magnet having a considerably large remanence, for example, about 300 to 5,000 gauss, particularly about 500 to 2,000 gauss, can be attached to this magnet. In addition to the elasticity of the ring-shaped main body 30, the magnets attract each other so that they can be firmly attached to the ear shell. However, as described below, a gap may be provided between the expanded portions 31, 32. In that case, it can be mounted in the same manner as in FIG.

1 In the instrument G2 shown in FIG.
A gap 7 of about 2 to 8 mm, preferably about 3 to 5 mm, is opened between 1 and 32. Then, an insertion hole 36 into which the end portion of the main body portion 30 is inserted is formed in the enlarged portions 31 and 32, and the end portion of the main body portion 30 is inserted into the insertion hole 36 and fixed by brazing, soldering or welding. There is. Further insertion hole 36
Embedded holes 37 for embedding the magnets 34, 35 are formed on the extension of the magnetic poles so that the end portions of the cylindrical magnets 34, 35 are exposed and the magnetic poles on the exposed side. They are embedded so that they are opposite to each other and fixed by press fitting or adhesive. The insertion hole 36 and the embedding hole 37 may communicate with each other, or may have the same diameter. Note that the end portion of the main body portion 30 and the enlarged portions 31, 32 may be directly joined without providing the insertion hole 36.

The body portion 30 is made of, for example, main metal, gold alloy, brass, copper, titanium alloy, stainless steel or the like having a diameter of 2 to 2.
It is obtained by forming a metal wire of about 3 mm into a ring shape by bending with a press. The enlarged portions 31 and 32 are manufactured by forming a rod made of the same metal as above with a diameter of 6 to 8 mm into a spherical shape by cutting and cutting an embedded hole 37 having a diameter of 3 mm and a depth of 3 mm. obtain. However, it may be formed of other metal or nonmetal such as synthetic resin. In all of these instruments G2, except for magnets, the surface of the instrument G2 is made of gold, especially 2
It is preferable that a noble metal such as 4K gold or rhodium is subjected to surface treatment such as electrolytic plating or vacuum deposition plating. This device G2 also has the same effect as the device G of FIG. 10a. Further, since the insertion hole 36 and the embedding hole 37 are concentric, manufacturing is easy. Especially both holes 3
When 6 and 37 are holes having the same diameter and communicating with each other, the manufacturing is further simplified.

The appliance G3 shown in FIG. 13 is an embodiment of the earring to which the health appliance of the present invention is applied, like the appliances shown in FIGS. 11 to 12, and the appliance G3 has a circular shape partially cut away. Body 30 having the shape of a body, and body 30
Enlarged parts 31, 3 detachably attached to both ends of the
2 and an additional decorative component 40 that is hung on the main body 30. The body portion 30 has a diameter of 2.5 to 3.5 mm, for example.
Male screws 38, 38 are formed at both ends of a metal wire rod having a circular cross section, and the whole except the both ends is bent and formed into a substantially circular shape. The surface is plated with a noble metal such as silver or gold (18K or 24K). Each end portion of the main body portion 30 is formed in a straight line in order to form a screw and screw the enlarged portion together, and in this embodiment, both end portions are arranged so as to ride on the straight line 39. Either one of the enlarged portions 31 and 32 may be fixed by brazing or the like like the instrument G2 in FIG.

The enlarging parts 31 and 32 are made of metal and have a diameter of 6 to 8 m.
m is a sphere, and a through hole 41 is formed in the sphere.
A female screw 42 that is screwed into the male screw 38 is formed on one end side of the through hole 41, and columnar magnets 34, 35 are fitted and fixed on the other end side. Other parts are shown in FIGS.
It is the same as the instrument of 2. The decorative component 40 includes a ring-shaped connecting member 43, a hanging portion 44 connected to the connecting member 43, a pearl,
It is composed of a jewel such as diamond, a jewel called power stone such as crystal, jade and emerald, and an ornament main body 45 such as precious metal. The connector 43 is sized to allow the main body portion 30 to pass through, but not the enlarged portions 31 and 32. Such a decorative component 40 may be a commercially available product or may be a product manufactured for this earring.
In addition, it is possible to reuse the commercially available earrings that have the pinched part or the like broken down, or to use the top of a pendant or a necklace. Of course, it is also possible to use it as an earring consisting of only the main body portion 30 and the enlarged portions 31 and 32 without attaching the decorative component 40.

In the instrument G3 constructed as described above, first, one enlarged portion 31 is twisted to be removed from the main body portion 30, and the connector 43 of the decorative component 40 is inserted from the end portion of the main body portion 30.
Then, the enlarged portion 31 is attached again and used. It should be noted that, with one enlarged portion 31 removed, the main body portion 30 on that side is removed.
2 to 4 m between the enlarged portions 31 and 32 so that there is at least a gap 46 through which the enlarged portion 31 passes, between the end portion and the other enlarged portion 32.
The distance between the end portions of the main body portion 30 is set so that there is a gap 47 of about m.

As shown in FIG. 14, the instrument G3 is inserted from the upper portion of the auricle 8 so that the enlarged portions 31, 32 are arranged on the front and back sides of the auricle 8, and the peripheral portion 9 of the auricle 8 is inserted. By moving it downward along the inner side, the front side bulge 31 is put into the recess 48 above the earlobe 10, and the other bulge 32 is brought into contact with the back side of the auricle 8 and suspended. That is, the earlobe is not pinched like a normal earring, or is not passed through the through hole formed in the earlobe, but is a recess 48 of the ear shell 8.
Try to hook it on. In this state, since the peripheral edge portion 9 and the earlobe 22 are thick, they do not fall even if they are pulled downward or sideways with a considerably strong force. When removing the instrument G3, it may be removed by moving it above the auricle 8 in the reverse order of the above. Note that the instruments G and G2 in FIGS. 12a and 12b and FIG. 13 can be attached and detached in the same procedure.

In this instrument G3, since the pair of magnets 34 and 35 face each other with the thin portion of the auricle 8 interposed therebetween, the acupuncture points of the ears are magnetically stimulated, and each time the earring sways, the enlarged portion 3
Combined with the fact that 1 and 32 press and stimulate the acupoints of the ears, they have an excellent effect on health maintenance. Further, since the decorative component 40 can be easily replaced by removing the enlarged portion 31, there is an advantage that a preferable decorative product can be freely selected according to the mood of the day. If the magnetic force of the magnet becomes weaker,
It is possible to replace only the enormous part, and in some cases only the magnet, and use the other parts as they are.

The instrument G4 shown in FIG. 15 is the same as the instrument G3 of FIG. 14 except that the ends of the main body 30 face each other at a constant obtuse angle θ. This one is easy to process,
Further, since the shape of the main body 30 is close to a circle, the appearance is excellent. Note that FIG. 3 shows the hanging of two types of decorative parts 40 and 40a. In this way, the enormous part 31,
