DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a warming effect and an acupuncture point stimulating effect by constantly flowing hot water such as a hot spring into a walking section having a protrusion and walking on the walking section. The present invention relates to a health promotion promenade using a combination of protrusions and warm water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It has been well known that a lot of acupoints are concentrated on the soles of a foot, and by stimulating those acupoints, symptoms such as low back pain, stiff shoulders, anemia and tired eyes are alleviated. I have. Therefore, recently, a product has been developed in which a plurality of protrusions are provided on the bottom surface of a sandal, a slipper, or the like, and stimulates acupoints on the sole of the foot while being worn.

[0003] There is also a method of adhering a compress to the soles of the feet or immersing the feet in warm water to warm the feet, thereby promoting blood circulation of the feet and eliminating physical fatigue.

[0004]

However, in the case of sandals or slippers provided with projections, the projections can stimulate the acupoints, but have not been able to promote blood circulation in the feet. In addition, since the shape and size of the projections were constant, a particularly excellent acupoint stimulation effect could not be expected.

[0005] In addition, sticking a compress on the soles of the feet or immersing the feet in warm water to warm them is effective for recovery from fatigue, but it was impossible to stimulate the acupoints.

[0006] In view of the above, the present invention uses a combination of warm water and a projection that can stimulate acupoints on the sole of the foot while warming the foot and promoting blood circulation effectively by using hot water, particularly hot spring water. The purpose is to provide a promenade.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a walking section having a projection on the bottom surface, a handrail section for supporting a body, installed beside the walking section. It is composed of hot water flowing to the walking section.

In addition, the projections are arranged so that the shape of the projections differs depending on the location of the walking section.

[0009] With the above configuration, only by walking on the walking portion, the protrusions effectively stimulate the acupoints on the soles of the feet, and further, the feet are warmed by hot water (hot spring water) flowing through the walking portion, and blood circulation is achieved. Can be promoted. In addition, the health promotion promenade using the protrusion and the warm water of the present invention in combination is most effective when installed in a hot spring resort or a rehabilitation facility.

[0010]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is an overall view, FIG. 2 is a use state diagram, FIG. 3 is another embodiment, and FIGS. 4 and 5 are use states.

[0011] The health promotion promenade using the protrusions and the warm water of the present invention is preferably installed in a hot-spring resort or a rehabilitation facility such as a hospital. Can be demonstrated.

The health promotion promenade according to the present invention, which uses a combination of a projection and warm water, comprises a walking section 1 having a projection 2 provided on a bottom surface 3 and a handrail section provided beside the walking section 1 for supporting a body. 5
And warm water 10 such as a hot spring flowing through the walking section 1.

The walking section 1 is slightly inclined as shown in FIG. 1, and is formed to have a width that allows two or three adults to freely walk. Both side portions of the walking portion 1 are covered with a frame 4, and a handrail portion 5 for supporting the body is installed on the frame 4. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, if the walking section 1 is formed in a circle shape and the walking section 1 is walked around, it can be used continuously for a long time.

A plurality of projections 2 are provided on the bottom surface 3 of the walking section 1. The protrusion 2 is formed in a corrugated or protrusion shape so as to effectively stimulate the acupoint portion of the sole of the foot.

It is preferable that the shape of the projections 2 be different depending on the location of the walking section 1. For example, as shown in FIG.
A protruding projection 2 is provided at the portion. Also, C
A hemispherical projection 2 is provided at the portion, and large and small projections 2 are provided at the portion D. With the above configuration, the sole of the foot can be stimulated with various strengths.

A hot water outlet 11 for discharging hot water 10 is provided at the tip of the walking section 1. The hot water 10
The water is constantly flown from the hot water port 11 to the walking section 1 to keep the walking section 1 warm.

The hot water 10 may be one obtained by artificially warming tap water to a certain temperature by using equipment such as solar energy, but in particular, a hot spring which is effective for recovery from fatigue and skin disease. Preferably, water is used. Further, a chemical exhibiting a heating effect may be mixed in the artificial warm water.

[0018]

As described above, the health promotion promenade according to the present invention using the protrusions and the hot water together has the following effects by adopting the above-mentioned configuration.

By simply stimulating the acupoints of the soles of the feet by the protrusions simply by walking on the walking section, and simultaneously warming the feet with hot water (hot spring water) flowing through the walking section to promote blood circulation. Can be. Therefore, it becomes possible to alleviate symptoms such as low back pain, stiff shoulders, anemia and tired eyes.

Further, since the shape of the projection is different depending on the location of the walking portion, the stimulation intensity of the sole of the foot can be freely adjusted.

The health-promoting promenade of the present invention using both the protrusions and the warm water exhibits more excellent effects if it is installed in a hot-spring resort or a rehabilitation facility.
