Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hot moxibustion device for obtaining a hot moxibustion effect by exposing hot smoke produced by the combustion of moxa and other herbs to the skin.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are various types of moxibustion devices of this type. However, a moxibustion device main body having an open bottom is provided with a rostle portion having a recess for mounting a hook and the like, and the top is closed with a lid. Those described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-170040.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention
In the moxibustion device described in Japanese Patent No. 0040, the warm moxibustion device main body emits hot smoke caused by burning a bark or the like on the rostr by covering the bottom surface of the opened moxibustion device main body with the skin. Although it fills the inside of the moxibustion device so that the warm smoke is exposed to the skin, the warm moxibustion device itself has a large number of ventilation holes, so some of the warm smoke generated in the moxibustion device body is In addition to leaking from the ventilation holes, the hot smoke flows in the ascending direction, so that the hot smoke becomes lean at the bottom surface of the main body of the moxibustion device, and it is not possible to obtain a sufficient moxibustion effect.

The present invention is intended to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional moxibustion device, in which the warm smoke generated in the box body is caused to flow toward the bottom surface portion to be opened, and the warm smoke is applied to the skin. It is an object of the present invention to provide a hot moxibustion device capable of effectively bathing, and preventing the leakage of warm smoke by making the box body non-perforated to further improve the warm smoke effect. is there.

Another object of the present invention is to facilitate the loading of herbs such as barley and the elimination of used herbs.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following constitution.

That is, the moxibustion device according to the present invention has a porous top surface on which a herb such as a barb is placed in a non-perforated box body having an open bottom surface and a detachable closing lid on the top surface. An open combustion receiver is provided, an air blowing port is provided in the closing lid in correspondence with the combustion receiver, and a flexible air supply pipe is connected to the air blowing port.

According to the present invention, in the above construction, a support for mounting a combustion receiver is provided in the box body, and the combustion receiver is detachable from the upper surface of the box body.

[0009]

According to the hot moxibustion device of the present invention, the box main body for burning herbs such as abacus is non-perforated inside, but since air is supplied into the box main body from the air blowing port of the closing lid, The medicinal herbs are burning well and the hot smoke is generated efficiently. The hot smoke generated in the box body is forced to flow toward the bottom surface of the box body by the air supplied from the air blowing port, and the hot smoke strongly adheres to the skin on the open bottom surface of the box body. Moreover, it can be effectively bathed. In addition, since the box body is non-perforated, waste of warm smoke does not occur.

In the present invention, if a support for placing the combustion receiver is provided in the box body and the combustion receiver is removable from the upper surface of the box body, it is easy to load the herbs and after use. By taking out the combustion receiver, cleaning such as removal of used medicinal plants can be performed easily and quickly.

[0011]

1 and 2, reference numeral 1 is a moxibustion device. The hot moxibustion device 1 includes a box body 2 made of a flame-retardant material such as wood, plastic, or ceramics, and a combustion unit 3 for burning a medicinal plant such as a barb. In the illustrated embodiment, the housing main body 2 is provided with two combustion sections 3,
The combustion unit 3 may be one.

The box body 2 is a non-perforated body having a bottom face 4 opened and a detachable closing lid 5 on the top face.
In the box body 2, a combustion unit 3 is provided with a combustion receiver 6 having a porous top surface on which a herb such as a barb is placed.
As shown in FIG. 3, the combustion receiver 6 is a porous, substantially semi-circular cartridge type, has an open upper surface, and is a medicinal herb such as a barb formed in a cylindrical shape, a cylindrical shape, a granular shape, or the like. The solid body 7 is placed and held. The combustion receiver 6 is made of metal. Reference numeral 8 denotes a support, and the combustion receiver 6 is supported on the support 8 in an immovable state by being placed on the support 8. The combustion receiver 6 can be detached from the upper surface by removing the closing lid 5. The bottom surface 4 of the box body 2 has a porous safety plate 9
It is shielded so that the breathability is not hindered. An adherent band (not shown) having a cloth fastener is attached to the box body 2.

The closing lid 5 that closes the upper surface of the box body 2 is stopped and held in a closed state by the locking members 10, 10. An upper surface pressing plate 11 that closes the upper surface of the combustion receiver 6 is attached to the closing lid 5 in a bulging manner. The upper surface pressing plate 11 is porous. The closing lid 5
Is provided with an air blowing port 12 corresponding to the combustion receiver 6, that is, the upper pressing plate 11, and a flexible air supply pipe 13 such as a rubber pipe is connected to the air blowing port 12. ing.

The combustion receiver 6 is not necessarily limited to the substantially semicircular shape shown in FIG. 3, but may be an appropriate shape such as a rectangular tube shape or a polygonal shape.

In order to use the moxibustion device 1 configured as described above, first, the lid 5 is removed from the box body 2, and the combustion receiver 6 loaded with the ignited herb solid 7 is placed on the support 8. Then, the lid 5 is closed, and the herb solid 7 is fixedly held on the combustion receiver 6 by the upper pressing plate 11. Next, the box body 2 is fixed to the body with an adherent band so that the open bottom surface 3 of the box body 2 contacts the skin to which the moxibustion is applied.

When air is blown from the flexible air supply pipe 13, the air for combustion is supplied into the box body 2, so that the herb solid 7 placed on and held by the combustion receiver 6 is solid. Continues burning, and hot smoke is generated in the box body 2. The air supplied from the air supply pipe 13 may be blown by a blower, a manual pump, or a mouth.

In this way, the warm smoke generated in the box body 2 is forced to flow toward the bottom surface 4 of the box body 2 by the air supplied from the air supply pipe 13, so that the skin to be heated is warmed. The smoke is delivered powerfully and effectively. Also, since the box body 2 is non-perforated, warm smoke does not leak out,
The waste does not occur.

In addition, when the air supply pipe 13 is simply communicated with the outside air and the air is not forcedly sent, the combustion amount of the herb solid 7 in the combustion section 3 is set to the minimum state where the pilot fire remains. Since it can be maintained, wasteful consumption of medicinal herbs does not occur during waiting time for hot moxibustion treatment.

In the above embodiment, the combustion receiver 6 is a cartridge type, and the combustion receiver 6 can be easily taken out from the upper surface of the box body 2 by removing the closing lid 5 from the box body 2. Loading and cleaning after use can be done easily and quickly.

[0020]

According to the present invention, the hot smoke generated in the box body is made to flow toward the bottom surface portion where the box is opened, and the hot smoke is effectively applied to the skin to obtain a high moxibustion effect. Further, it is possible to obtain the moxibustion device in which the box body is made non-perforated to prevent the hot smoke from leaking and the hot smoke effect is further improved.

Further, in the present invention, a support for mounting the combustion receiver is provided in the box body, and the combustion receiver is removable from the upper surface of the box body, so that the herbs are loaded and cleaned after use. Can be done easily and quickly.
