Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate rash or the like by a method wherein a circular material used as a substitute for a tape of tape dieting to stimulate meridian points of a finger is formed with a diameter thereof smaller than the finger involved so that it is expanded to tighten the finger when fitted onto the finger to facilitate the mounting thereof on or removing thereof from the finger. SOLUTION: A coil-shaped circular material 1 is made by forming a resilient tape-like resin into a coil. For example, the circular material is made in a coil with the diameter smaller than the size of an index finger. When the circular part thus obtained is put on the finger, the end of the coil thereof is hooked on a part corresponding to a meridian point and it is wound on the finger to fit. A ring-shaped circular part 2 with a cut may be made up of a thin metal spring plate. When put on the finger, this circular material is also fitted onto a part corresponding to the meridian point of the finger by expanding the cut of the ring. Otherwise, a rubber ring shaped circular material 2 is formed into an endless tape using rubber as material and two or three thereof are fitted at a proper interval to stimulate the meridian points. The material herein used for the circular material can be a shape memory alloy.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tape diet in which a narrow tape is wrapped around a finger such as a human hand or foot, and a diet effect is produced by stimulating acupoints of the finger. The present invention relates to an annular member for a tape diet used by being fitted to a finger.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A dieting method called a tape diet is to wrap a narrow tape around a finger or a limb, and this tape stimulates acupoints of a finger to produce a diet effect. In addition, this acupoint corresponds to each part of the body depending on the type of finger, such as the thumb and middle finger, or the location of the first and second joints of the finger. ing. Therefore, it is widely spread that a diet effect can be obtained only by wrapping a tape around a desired point.

As this tape, a non-stretch cloth or plastic surgical tape is generally used. However, these ready-made products are too thick to be used for tape diet, so they are split into narrow pieces of about 4 mm, and several fingers are prepared in a length that allows about 1 to 4 coil windings on the finger. He wraps it in several places around his fingers, both hands and both feet. The winding method is coil-shaped in many cases. For example, in the case of a diet for the upper arm portion, the upper arm portion is wound four times from the fingertip of the index finger of both hands to the base of the finger and straddling the second joint. In addition, it is wound in various ways such as double and triple depending on the points.

[0004] When the tape is wound as necessary, the wound state is maintained with three to four weeks as one guide, depending on the individual, and the effect during that time is determined. Then, they continue to do so, or change the location of the finger and rewind it again.

[0005]

However, since the wound state is continued for a long time, the tape often peels off,
Therefore, it is necessary to frequently reapply each time. In such a case, a tape having a narrow width suitable for a tape diet is not generally provided, so that it is necessary to separate the tape from a commercially available wide tape. Also, each time the tape is wound, the excess tape must be cut off with scissors.

[0006] Further, since the wound state is long, it is inevitable that the white tape is stained, especially when the finger is wound around, or the adhesive material of the tape protrudes and becomes black. In such a case, the dirty tape is peeled off, and a new beautiful one is rewound. Such dirt poses a cosmetic problem, especially in light of the fact that dieting is common for women.

[0007] Even if it is not soiled, wrapping a white tape around a finger during the daytime may be a problem depending on the type of job and the work environment. On the other hand, although the effect is delayed, even if it is wound only at night, a certain effect is obtained. If you only roll it at night, you roll it up or peel it off every day, which is troublesome in this respect.

[0008] In any case, since the state in which the tape is directly applied to the skin continues for weeks or months, there are many people who get rash, which is a cause that this dieting method cannot be continued.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and has as its object the purpose of being easily attached to and detached from a finger, having no cosmetic problems, and being gentle on skin without rash. Another object of the present invention is to provide an annular material for a tape diet.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention proposes that a ring material can be inserted into a finger instead of a tape. This ring material is a coil-shaped spring material,
A ring-shaped spring material with a part of the ring cut off, or a rubber band-like shape, but in any case, its diameter is formed narrower than the finger, so when it is fitted to the finger It was expanded and my fingers were tightened.

In the case of the coil-shaped annular member 1, the coil loop is wound around the finger. At this time, if the coil loop is made slightly smaller than the finger, the finger can be tightened properly, so that the force of the spring It gives the same stimulus to the acupoint as when the tape is wound. In the case of the link-shaped annular member 2 having a cut, the cut may be expanded and fitted to the finger, and the restoring force of the spring stimulates the acupoint. The ring-shaped rubber material 3 may be simply inserted so as to pass through from a fingertip. Of course, these may be used in combination.

The material may be any material having elasticity such as spring force or rubber, such as metal, silicon rubber, and resin. The cross-sectional shape may be a tape having a width of about 4 mm, which is the same as the conventional one, but is not limited thereto, and may be a circle, an oval, or any other shape.

It is preferable that the diameter of the ring material is variously adjusted from a little finger to a thumb. Further, in the case of the coil-shaped annular material 1, the coil diameter may be changed in the middle of one coil,
For example, if it is possible to fit in the joint of the finger, the middle of the coil is thicker. Conversely, if it is possible to fit between the joints, the ends of the coil are thicker.

[0014]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows various embodiments of annular members 1, 2, and 3 for a tape diet according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a coil-shaped annular material, which is formed by forming a tape-shaped resin having spring elasticity into a coil shape. And it is formed in a triple coil shape with a diameter slightly smaller than the thickness of the index finger. When attaching to a finger, the end of the coil can be hooked on a portion to be a point of the finger and wound around the finger as shown in FIG. When the winding is completed, it looks like the index finger in FIG.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a ring-shaped annular member having a cut, which is made of a thin metal spring plate. When attaching to the finger, it is only necessary to widen the cut of the ring and fit it into the portion that becomes the acupoint of the finger, and when the fitting is completed, it becomes like the middle finger in FIG.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a rubber band-like annular member, which is formed in an endless tape shape made of rubber. What is necessary is just to insert it so that it may pass through from a fingertip, and it is possible to stimulate acupoints by inserting two or three pieces at an appropriate interval.

The material used for the annular material is not limited to the above, and any material may be used within the scope of the present invention.

For example, a shape memory alloy may be used, and is suitable for a coil-shaped annular member or a cut annular member. In this case, an alloy exhibiting a shape memory effect at room temperature can be used, and the ring material can be wound or removed in hot water. That is,
Even when the ring material is plastically deformed in hot water at a temperature higher than room temperature, for example, when it is wound around a finger, when the temperature is returned to room temperature, plastic deformation is lost due to the shape memory effect, and the material returns to its original shape. If the diameter of the original shape is smaller than the wound predetermined finger, the finger can be tightened. As a specific example of use, an example in which the body is unloaded when taking a bath is suitable as a recommended example.

Alternatively, if a magnetic metal is used as the material of the ring material and magnetized, the effect of promoting blood circulation and the like can be obtained by fitting the material into the finger. The effect of such magnetization is not limited to metal, but may be a resin material or a rubber material mixed with magnetic powder.

Further, a material such as tourmaline which has a purifying effect on the body may be used. Further, for a person with weak skin, a ring material using a material that does not irritate the skin such as silicone rubber is suitable.

The shape of the annular material is not limited to the above example. For a coil-shaped annular material, a single coil, a double coil, a quadruple coil or the like is prepared as shown in FIG. By doing so, the length of the coil can be properly used according to the size of the point.

In the case of a ring-shaped annular material having a cut,
A single annular material shown in FIG. 5 (a) may be connected to two or three to adjust the size of the acupoint, and if it is troublesome to fit individually, as shown in FIG. A series of several ring-shaped annular members may be prepared.

In any of the ring materials, the color can be devised in various ways. In particular, if the color can be fitted to the fingers of the hand, the color is made colorful, so that the decoration is higher than that of the conventional tasteless diet tape. The nature is also obtained.

[0024]

As described above, according to the annular material of the present invention, it is convenient to save the trouble of producing a diet tape from a commercially available tape each time as in the prior art. In addition, the finger can be easily removed and used repeatedly. Also, compared to tapes and the like, they are not stained and can be devised in color, which is suitable for diet beauty purposes. Also,
Since it does not adhere to the skin unlike conventional tapes, it does not cause rash, and the choice of materials that are gentle on the skin is expanded.
