Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention exerts a local negative pressure on the skin to promote the metabolism of subcutaneous tissue.
Stops pains such as rheumatism and hernia, or stiff shoulders,
The present invention relates to a subcutaneous tissue metabolism promoting device for recovering muscle fatigue such as tight back.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are meridians (so-called acupoints) in the human body, and by rubbing, loosening, acupressure, or hitting the meridian, back pain, rheumatism, hernia, stiff shoulders, or a slight back pain can be recovered. Heading has been known for a long time. The prescription for such a meridian can be easily received not only by a technique of an expert but also by a device such as mechanical acupressure using a variety of electric devices, a shoulder tap, a kneading machine, etc. recently. Of course, these devices also have the purpose of acting not only on the meridians but directly on the muscles to massage and loosen them, remove waste products accumulated in the muscles, and burn unnecessary fat.

However, such a device is relatively expensive, and since electric equipment is used, there is a problem that it can be used only in the house where the electric equipment is installed.
On the other hand, since a relatively old age, a glass container is brought into close contact with the surface of the skin, and the pressure inside the container is reduced using a combustion method or a rubber gripping tool (pump), and the skin surface is decompressed. The prescription was such that the blood under the skin was aspirated.

This type of tool has the advantage that it is primitive but inexpensive and does not use electrical means. However, in order to reduce the pressure inside the container, the operation of a rubber-made gripping tool or the operation of burning the internal air has a problem in that it is not possible to obtain a great reduction in pressure, which is very troublesome.

[0005]

Therefore, the present inventor has proposed:
Considering that the therapeutic effect is very high even if only a local subcutaneous decompression effect called a meridian is obtained, the local subcutaneous decompression was tackled. As a method of obtaining local decompression action with a simple structure, we paid attention to a small suction cup used as a pen holder, a hanger stopper, a towel rack, and a hook fastening to a glass window of an automobile. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the suction cup 10 is formed of a flexible synthetic resin in a semi-circular shape with a flat cross section, and its inner surface is made smooth.
The air inside is exhausted by pressing it against the glass plate 11 or the like and pressing it from the outside, and when the hand is released, atmospheric pressure acts to bring it into close contact. It is used for various purposes.

When this sucker was applied to the skin, it was found that the sucker was brought into close contact with the skin, but the suction surface was pressed by the atmospheric pressure to pressurize the skin surface, resulting in no effective depressurizing action on the skin. Moreover, the flat, semi-circular suction cup is
It has a drawback that it will peel off immediately even if it comes into close contact. Therefore, although some measures were taken to increase the smoothness of the inner surface of the suction cup, the adhesion was not improved.

In view of the above situation, the present invention has a simple structure, yet has sufficient decompression action on the skin,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a subcutaneous tissue metabolism-promoting device that does not easily come off.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is a subcutaneous tissue metabolism stimulating device for effecting negative pressure on skin to metabolize subcutaneous tissue, which is hollow by a synthetic resin. Is formed into a hemispherical shape and its top 1
It has a flexibility that can be turned inside out by pushing a, and has a strength that retains a hemispherical shape even when the internal pressure is reduced. Further, the engagement protruding radially inside the opening peripheral edge 1b. The means of having the part 2 was taken. In the present invention, the hemispherical shape may be somewhat distorted as long as the action and effect of the present invention can be obtained, and it is preferable that the engaging portion 2 has a continuous annular shape. Projections may be used.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the lower surface 1c of the opening peripheral edge 1b is formed smooth.

[0010]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS According to the present invention, in prescribing an accelerator as shown in FIG. 5, a substantially inverted state is created by pushing the top portion 1a of the original body shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. In this state, it is pressed in close contact with the affected part or the position of the meridian, and then the surroundings are gripped and pressed to reverse the inverted state to the original state. At this time, the elastic restoring force of the synthetic resin acts to bring the skin into the hemisphere. At this time, the inside of the hemisphere of the accelerator is in a reduced pressure state. If water is applied to the opening edge 1b (or the whole) in advance, the adhesion is improved and it is useful for maintaining the reduced pressure state.

In particular, since the accelerator of the present invention has a deep hemispherical shape unlike the conventional flat sucker, it has the effect of sucking the skin into the inside thereof, and even when the internal pressure is reduced. Since it has a hemispherical shape-retaining property, it secures an internal negative pressure space and forcibly concentrates blood in the subcutaneous tissue by local suction of the skin, thereby improving local blood circulation. It is possible.

Further, since the engaging portion 2 protruding in the radial direction is provided inside the opening peripheral edge 1b, when the skin is sucked, the soft skin bulges above the engaging portion 2 and the skin is caught. It can be grasped in the state of being. Therefore, if the suction surface is a hard and smooth glass plate like a conventional suction cup, sufficient negative pressure can be obtained and a large suction force can be obtained by simply making the inner surface smooth. However, in the present invention, the problem of easy detachment due to its softness when applied to the skin has not been solved, but in the present invention, it has been solved satisfactorily despite its simple structure.

[0013]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment of a subcutaneous tissue metabolism promoting device according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a subcutaneous tissue metabolism promoting tool 1 is formed of synthetic resin into a hollow hemisphere and has a top portion 1a.
It has a flexibility that can be turned inside out substantially by pressing, and as shown in FIG. 4, it has a hemispherical shape-retaining property even when the internal pressure is reduced (not exactly the same as the original state as in FIG. 1).
There is strength. In this embodiment, in FIG.
Two sizes are shown, but if the size is, for example, a hemispherical diameter of about 10 mm to 25 mm, it can be applied to the meridian and an appropriate size can be used to make the muscle symmetrical. Further, as this kind of synthetic resin,
It is known per se.

The engaging portion 2 is provided inside the opening edge 1b so as to project in the radial direction. In this embodiment, the engaging portion 2 has a continuous annular shape,
It may be composed of a plurality of independent protrusions. As shown in FIG. 4, the protrusion-shaped engaging portion 2 allows the soft skin to be sucked up together with the subcutaneous meat and bulge upward when the skin is adsorbed to a local portion, so that the skin is locked. Further, the lower surface 1c of the opening peripheral edge 1b is formed to be smooth so that a contact area with the skin is secured and a negative pressure is prevented from escaping.

When this accelerator was used, a sufficient negative pressure was obtained, the surface of the skin was hyperemic, reddish, and the blood circulation under the skin was improved. By improving blood circulation at the meridian, we were able to eliminate stiff shoulders and muscle pain.

[0016]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, since it has a shape-retaining property and has a deep hemispherical shape, sufficient internal decompression can be obtained, and local suction of the skin promotes metabolism by improving blood circulation in the subcutaneous tissue. However, this has the advantage of being able to treat stiff shoulders and low back muscle fatigue.

In particular, by providing the engaging portion protruding in the radial direction inside the opening peripheral edge of the hemispherical facilitator, the soft skin bulges above the engaging portion even though the structure is simple. There is also an advantage that the skin can be gripped in a rolled-up state, it does not easily come off while a sufficient negative pressure is obtained, and good treatment can be continued.
