[0010]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a practical example of a supporter according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, applying to a human waist.

[0011]

[Practical example]

(First practical example) FIG. 1 is a sectional view in which a contact member is applied to a lumbar vertebra.

The supporter 4 having the fixing means for fixing the joint part over a wide area includes a fixing belt 6 as a fixing means for fixing the human lumbar region 1 as shown in FIG.
Contact member 3 which is provided on the body and contacts a part of the human waist 1
A pressurizing means A pressurizes the human body with respect to the fulcrum member 7a and the fulcrum member 7b by the seesaw phenomenon.

The fixed belt 6 is formed in a belt shape from a material having elasticity or a material having no elasticity. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the fixing belt 6 is wrapped around the human waist 1 to engage the hook-and-loop fasteners 11a and 11b.

The fixed belt 6 at the contact position of the contact members 3a, 3b has a portion 8 of the belt which the contact members 3a, 3b contact so that the contact members 3a, 3b can move easily. Use a material with a high degree of stretch, or
The contacting belt portion 8 may be hollowed out. And
The contact members 3a and 3b protrude in the figure, but may be concave as long as they are of a type suitable for the human body (not shown). When the contact members 3a and 3b do not protrude, it is better to change the material of the contact members 3a and 3b from a lever member (not illustrated).

The contact portion of the fixed member 6 of the fulcrum member 7a is more likely to perform a sawing motion by using a material (metal, plastic, etc.) which does not easily expand and contract. By mounting the fulcrum fixing members 9a and 9b, the seesaw movement can be more smoothly performed. The fulcrum member 7a may be attached to the fixing belt 6. Alternatively, the fulcrum member 7a may be attached to the fixed belt 6. Fix the fulcrum member 7a to the fixing belt 6
In this case, the fulcrum fixing member 9 may be attached to the lever member 10, or the portion of the lever member 10 in contact with the fulcrum member 7a may be penetrated so as to easily perform the panning movement.

The fulcrum member 7a can be used without the fulcrum member 7b.
Although there is a seesaw phenomenon, there is usually a depression between the spinous process S and the skin because the space between the spinous process S and the erector spinae attachment is small, and the fulcrum member 7b is required to fill the depression. In order to prevent the movement of the lever member 10 more, it is easier to perform the seesaw movement when the fulcrum member 7b is provided. When the fulcrum members 7a and 7b are located at the center of the lever member 10 or at a position close to the center, the seesaw movement can be performed more smoothly. At least one fulcrum member 7a, 7b
Individuals are fine.

When the fulcrum fixing member 9b is used, the fulcrum fixing member 9b is used. When the fulcrum fixing member 9b is not used, the fulcrum member 7b is used. The use of such an adhesive means makes the lever member 10 more difficult to shift.

In order to make the seesaw movement smoother, the specific gravity of the fulcrum portion and the contact portion of the lever member 10 is changed.
Alternatively, changing the weight of the fulcrum portion and the contact portion or changing the fulcrum portion of the lever member 10 to a shape that can be a fulcrum (such as a sphere, a cone, or a quadrangular pyramid) may combine the act of smoothing the seesaw motion. May be. In the figure, the lever member 10 is rectangular and linear in the upper and lower images, but the lever member 10 may be rounded in the upper and lower images. When the lever member 10 is rounded in the upper and lower images, the size of the arc is preferably 180 ° or less.

Although the above-mentioned supporter has the belt 6 attached to the pressing means A, the supporter can support the belt 6 without the belt 6 but with the pressing means A alone.

In the case of supporting only by the pressing means A,
Adhesive means such as an adhesive or a double-sided tape is used for the contact members 3a, 3b and the fulcrum member 7b, and when the fulcrum fixing member 9b is provided, the fulcrum member 7a,
Since the fulcrum fixing member 9a is unnecessary, it may be removed.

The contact members 3a and 3b can further promote blood circulation in the affected part by using magnets. Further, the opposite poles of the contact members 3a and 3b may be mounted.

Further, by using different metals (such as aluminum and copper) for the contact members 3a and 3b, an ion difference is generated and blood flow and the like are improved. Further, the same metal may be used.

Alternatively, by making stones such as quartz as the contact members 3a and 3b, the waves of the stones may be used.

Then, the lever member 10 and the contact member 3a,
3b, a pressure absorbing member 98 such as a spring is provided, and a detachable means such as a fastener or a double-sided tape is used.

If the long side of the lever member 10 is too long, it is difficult to perform the seesaw movement, so that the long side is preferably between 2 and 9 °.

By providing a plurality of pressurizing means A,
Bring even more effects.

Further, by attaching the pressurizing means A to the underwear, the general public becomes even more familiar.

According to the above configuration, when the lateral projection M2 is not movable, when the lateral projection M1 applies pressure to the rear of the human body, the force of the shearing phenomenon causes the contact member 3a to leverage the rear of the human body. A force is applied to the lateral protrusion M2 forward of the human body of the contact member 3b via the member 10, and the pressure can cause the lateral protrusion M2 to move without difficulty.

(Second Embodiment) FIG. 2 shows an embodiment using a tape 24 without using a fixed belt.

A tape 24 is attached to a rear portion of the lever member 21. The tape 24 serves as a fulcrum, and the contact members 23a, 23b
Allows a seesaw movement about the tape 24.

Further, the use of the fulcrum member 27 makes it possible to more smoothly perform the seesaw movement. The use of the fulcrum fixing member 29 prevents the fulcrum member 27 from applying extra pressure to the human body. The fulcrum fixing member 29 is more preferably made of a material such as an agar-like material or a sponge which serves as a cushion. At this time, the fulcrum member 27 may or may not be worn. In addition, the lever member 21 is provided behind the contact members 23a and 23b in the lever member 21.
And can be fixed with tape to fix the human body (not shown). Then, the lever member 21 and the contact members 23a, 23
By providing a pressure absorbing member 98 such as a spring between b and b, the pressure from the human body becomes milder.

The tape 24 can be used to remove the inflammation of the affected area and the surrounding area by using a plaster having an adhesive ability such as a salon pass, and can also give a refreshing feeling.

It should be noted that the lever member 21 can be used without using the tape 24.
When the fulcrum fixing member 29 is used, when the fulcrum fixing member 29 is not used, the fulcrum fixing member 29 is used. Exercise becomes possible. Further, by using an adhesive means such as an adhesive or a double-sided tape for the contact members 23a and 23b, the lever member 21 can be fixed to the human body.

The rear part (the side opposite to the human body bonding part) and the front part (the same side as the human body bonding part) of the lever member 21 are individually provided.
Alternatively, even if the lever member 21 is broken, the original part is kept without falling even if the lever member 21 is broken, so that when the peeling is performed, it is cheap when peeling, and the place where the lever is broken. There is no need to worry about hurting the human body at the cut end. The foam such as urethane may be any material that does not break and break even when folded, such as cloth or paper.

When the tape 24, the fulcrum member 27, and the fulcrum fixing member 29 do not exist on the lever member 21, an adhesive means may be used between the lever and the human body at a position that can be a fulcrum. This allows the present invention to be manufactured at lower cost.

In FIG. 2, since the operation is performed on the same human body as in the above embodiment, the description is omitted. The above embodiments may be combined or configured in any manner.

(Third Embodiment) FIG. 3 shows the use of contact members 33a and 33b in which the tip of a lever member 31 is formed in a coil shape.

The lever member 31 is made of a material that can be a spring, such as metal or plastic.

Thus, when the size of the vertebra V varies from person to person, by applying pressure from the belt 6, the distance between the contact members 33a and 33b is opened and the distance can be adjusted. By making the lever member 31 a spring, the pressure from the contact members 33a and 33b to the human body is more softly applied. By bending the fulcrum like the fulcrum 37, it becomes possible to perform a seesaw movement about the fulcrum 37. In this way, a part of the lever member may be deformed so as to become a fulcrum. Regardless of the shape of the fulcrum, any shape can be used as long as it becomes a fulcrum. At that time,
It is better to use a fulcrum fixing member (not shown).

When the lever member 31 is made of metal, the lever member 31 is magnetized to further promote blood circulation.

Further, the magnetizing members 32a, 32b can be attached to the apexes of the contact members 33a, 33b. or,
Metal, rubber, plastic, or the like may be attached to the apexes of the contact members 3a, 3b.

The above embodiments may be combined or configured in any manner.

(Fourth Embodiment) FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the pressing means 41 is used as a leaf spring.

The leaf spring 41 can be formed by changing the thickness of the center part and the two end parts of the lever member. Lever member leaf spring 4
The contact members 43a and 43b are attached to the tip of
When a rearward pressure F1 is applied from
, The pressure F2 of the contact member 43b on the human body is more softly applied. At this time, the size of the arc of the leaf spring 41 of the lever member is preferably 180 ° or less. And lever member 4
By providing a pressure absorbing member 98 such as a spring between the first member 1 and the contact members 43a and 43b, the pressure from the human body becomes more gentle.

In order to adjust the width of the contact members 43a and 43b, a fastener, a double-sided tape or the like is provided between the leaf spring 41 and a pressure absorbing member 98 such as a spring and the contact members 43a and 43b.
Attachable means can be used.

When the fulcrum member 47 is attached to the human body, it is better to use the fulcrum fixing member 44 so that the fulcrum member 47 does not apply extra pressure to the human body. still,
It is more preferable that the fulcrum fixing member 44 be made of a material such as agar, sponge, or the like that serves as a cushion. Also, leaf spring 41
May be a thin wire such as a piano wire. In that case,
A piano wire or the like may be used by overlapping in a shape like a leaf spring.
