Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a key holder which can be used as an instrument for acupressure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A key holder for suspending and holding a plurality of keys on a metal ring has been conventionally used. In addition to practical products such as shoehorns and coin purses, many key holders of this type have accessories such as dolls attached thereto.

On the other hand, as a means for promoting health and treating the affected area,
Acupressure therapy, which pushes the acupoints on the body, has recently been widely adopted, and many people are incorporating this acupressure into their daily lives. It is said that acupressure points are often found on the soles of the feet, for example, but acupressure points in such areas must be pressed with a finger (usually the thumb) to a certain degree.
Imposing an unreasonable posture, I had great fatigue and pain in my fingers.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to apply acupressure to the sole of the foot or the like at any time by using a key holder that is always carried.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following configurations. That is, the key holder according to the present invention has a distal end portion having a curved surface, and a hollow rod body having an opening portion communicating with the inside and the outside in an intermediate portion,
A ring capable of suspending a key is attached by a cord body, and a single or a plurality of crystal balls are rotatably housed inside the hollow rod.

[0006]

This key holder, like the conventional key holder, holds the key by suspending it from the ring. Further, the acupuncture point of the body is pressed by the curved surface portion of the tip of the hollow rod to which this ring is attached. Shiatsu is done not by the finger but by the stick held by the hand, so the fingers and arm do not get tired. A crystal ball is rotatably housed inside the hollow bar for acupressure, and the crystal ball can be seen from the outside, so that the decorative effect is high. Moreover,
Many people believe that a crystal ball has a mysterious power that affects the human mind and body, but it gives such a person a sense of security.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an example of a key holder-1 according to the present invention. The key holder-1 includes a hollow round bar 2 made of reinforced wood, and the tip of the hollow round bar 2 is shown. The part 3 is formed as a smooth spherical surface. Further, the outer shape of the rod 2 is formed as a conical inclined surface 2b in which the diameter of the rear portion 2a is large and the tip side is gradually narrowed from there to the tip portion.

The hollow portion 5 of the rod 2 is formed along the axial direction, and its rear end is covered with a metal cap 6. On the side surface of the rod 2, a pair of long hole-shaped windows 7, 7 which extend in the axial direction and communicate with the hollow portion 5 and the outer surface are formed in contrast.
Further, inside the hollow portion 5, two crystal balls 10 having a size that can freely roll within the hollow portion 5 without departing from the window 7 are housed.

A small ring 12 is attached to the metal cap 6.
Is fixed to the suspension ring 1 via a chain 13
5 is attached. A joint 13a that is rotatable around the center line is provided in the middle of the chain 13.

The suspension ring 15 is made by winding thin metal rods in a plurality of layers in a circular shape and elastically deforming both ends of the metal rods to form a hole 20a provided at the base of the key 20.
The key can be suspended and held swingably by being inserted into.

Like the conventional key holder, this key holder-1 has one or more keys 2 on the suspension ring 15.
Used to suspend and hold 0, ... Since the key that is individually held and easily lost when being carried is attached to the ring 15 connected to the rod 2 having a relatively large volume, it is hard to lose and easy to take out when using. .

Further, the key holder-1 can perform acupressure by using the rod 2 connected to the ring by a chain. That is, by pressing the spherical tip 3 of the rod 2 against the acupoint of the body, the acupuncture point can be stimulated and acupressure effect such as blood circulation promotion can be obtained. For this,
It is preferable that the rod 2 be as large as a finger of a human hand. FIG. 2 shows an example of performing acupressure on the sole of the foot using this key holder, and the stick 2 held in the hand can be pressed to any place with any strength. Unlike the pressing of the human finger, the acupressure using the stick 2 does not apply a great force to the finger, and thus is easy and can be applied to the portion where the finger cannot reach easily.

A crystal ball is housed inside the hollow rod 2. Since the crystal ball can be seen through the window 7,
It is effective for decoration. It has long been believed by people in many countries that crystal balls have the power to affect the human body and spirit, but it is possible to provide such people with a sense of spiritual security. It can be estimated that the acupressure effect is further enhanced. You may put only one crystal ball, but it is not possible to put a very large ball in the volume of the hollow part 5, so it is better to put a plurality of small balls when you roll them, which makes a pleasant sound. Because it is lively, it is preferable.

In the illustrated example, a metal chain is used as a string for connecting the suspension ring 15, but a braid, a leather string, etc.
Other cords having suitable strength and flexibility may be used. Also,
As the material of the rod 2, synthetic resin, metal, or the like may be used, but it is preferable to use natural wood as it is, or after it is subjected to a strengthening treatment, since it is easy to use. In the illustrated example, the window 7 is formed as a simple opening, but it may be covered with transparent plastic or the like. The shape of the window 7 is not limited to the elongated hole shape as shown in the figure, and may be any shape as long as the crystal ball inside can be seen. The suspension ring 15 is not limited to the circular shape as shown in the drawing, but may be a hook shape or the like as long as it can securely hold the key.

[0015]

As described above, the key holder according to the present invention can hold the key so as not to be lost, like the conventional key holder, and uses the attached rod. Acupressure of the body can be performed appropriately, which is convenient for practical use. This kind of key holder
Since it is worn and carried at all times, there is also an advantage that it is possible to apply acupressure easily at any time and no excessive force is applied to the finger or the like.
