Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a skin patch therapy device for treating stiff shoulders, lower back pain, and other diseases by bringing two or more metals with different ionization tendencies into contact with the patient's skin.

Between two or more metals having different ionization tendencies, there is a property that the metal with a greater ionization tendency tends to be cationized.

Therefore, when two or more metals with different ionization tendencies are brought into contact with the skin, a potential difference is generated between these metals, which can stimulate bioelectricity within the skin.

When applying this effect to treatment, etc., on the back side of the human body, by simultaneously contacting a metal with a low ionization tendency above the human body and a metal with a high ionization tendency below the body, On the front side of the human body (abdominal side), on the contrary, pain and stiffness can be effectively treated by simultaneously contacting a metal with a high ionization tendency above the body and a metal with a low ionization tendency below the body. but,
It has been announced that the opposite arrangement has no effect at all.
Published by Shizensha).

Based on these studies, two metals with different ionization tendencies
A pair of treatment instruments is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 53-74994.

However, this treatment device is difficult to use because it is easy for those who do not have specialized knowledge of the above theory to make mistakes in determining which metal has a greater tendency to ionize and which metal should be applied above or below. There are some serious drawbacks.

In addition, a therapeutic device from a different perspective is disclosed in Utility Model Application No. 57-10374.
It is disclosed in Publication No. 3.

This is made by arranging one of two metals with different ionization tendencies at the center and the other around it, with the surface of the central metal protruding so as to dig into the skin, so it is not suitable for specialized It is easier to use than the previous example because it can be simply pasted on the affected area without any prior knowledge.

However, since the structure is such that two different metals are electrically short-circuited, that is, the two different metals are connected, a current flows in a loop due to the potential difference between the two metals. flows.

Therefore, on the skin surface to which this treatment tool is applied, current flows not in one direction, such as from the central metal to the surrounding metal, but in a reciprocating direction.

As a result, there are disadvantages in that the therapeutic effect is weakened and the durability of the therapeutic tool is poor.

Furthermore, in order to form the loop-shaped current, the surface of the central metal must protrude so as to bite into the skin, which makes the molding process complicated and also has the disadvantage of damaging the skin surface. Ta.

This idea was developed in view of these circumstances, and its feature is that metal plates are selected and pasted so that their ionization tendency gradually decreases from the periphery of a given place toward the given place. In addition, at least an electrically insulating gap is provided between the metal plates having different ionization tendencies.

An embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example in which two metals, copper and aluminum, are used as metals with different ionization tendencies.

Aluminum has a greater tendency to ionize than copper.

The skin patch treatment device 1 of this embodiment is composed of an adhesive sheet 2, a copper plate 3, and an aluminum plate 4.

The adhesive sheet 2 is a so-called adhesive plaster, which is a circular sheet of cloth, synthetic resin, or the like, coated with an insulating adhesive on one side, and is larger than the outer dimensions of the copper plate 3 and aluminum plate 4 .

The copper plate 3 is a disk-shaped copper plate that is sufficiently smaller than the adhesive sheet 2, and is attached to the center of the adhesive surface 5, which is the side of the adhesive sheet 2 on which the adhesive is applied.

The aluminum plate 4 is a ring-shaped aluminum plate having approximately the same thickness as the copper plate 3, and has a ring-shaped inner diameter larger than the copper plate 3 and an outer diameter smaller than the adhesive sheet 2.

Then, this aluminum plate 4 is pasted onto the adhesive surface 5 of the adhesive sheet 2 so that the copper plate 3 is fitted into the ring-shaped inner diameter with a gap left therebetween.

In this embodiment configured as described above, the circular adhesive sheet 2 is made larger than the outer diameter of the copper plate 3, so these copper plates 3 and aluminum plates 4 are placed on a part of the adhesive surface 5 of the adhesive sheet 2. Can be pasted.

Thereby, an exposed portion of the adhesive surface 5 can be left around the copper plate 3 and the aluminum plate 4, and the adhesive sheet 2 can be applied to the skin at this exposed portion.

Therefore, the adhesive sheet 2 is not necessarily limited to a circular shape, as long as the exposed adhesive surface 5 remains even after the copper plate 3 and aluminum plate 4 are attached.

Further, since the copper plate 3 and the aluminum plate 4 are pasted on the adhesive surface 5 with a gap between them, and since the adhesive surface 5 is made of an insulating material, they are electrically insulated from each other.

Furthermore, the copper plate 3 and the aluminum plate 4 are attached to the adhesive surface 5 by fitting the copper plate 3 into the ring-shaped inner diameter of the aluminum plate 4, so that when the adhesive sheet 2 is attached to the skin, there is no ionization tendency. A smaller copper plate 3 is placed in contact with the skin in the center and an aluminum plate 4 with a greater tendency to ionize is placed in contact with the skin at the periphery.

Note that the copper plate 3 and the aluminum plate 4 are not necessarily limited to the case of a copper plate and an aluminum plate, since the material of the metal in the part that comes into contact with the skin is an issue. For example, a steel plate may be plated with copper or aluminum/zinc, respectively. It may also be something that has been subjected to.

3 to 10 show other embodiments of this invention.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show an example in which a copper plate 3 and an aluminum plate 4 are integrated and attached to an adhesive sheet 2. FIG.

The aluminum plate 4 of this embodiment is a disc-shaped aluminum plate with a depression 6 provided on one side, and by fitting the copper plate 3 into the depression 6 of the aluminum plate 4, the copper plate 3 and the aluminum plate 4 are separated. It is integrated with.

However, this fitting of the copper plate 3 is carried out via an insulating material 7 such as epoxy resin, and is carried out so that the copper plate 3 and the aluminum plate 4 are electrically insulated.

Then, this aluminum plate 4 is pasted on the adhesive surface 5 of the adhesive sheet 2 with the side on which the depression 6 is not provided.

In this embodiment, by arranging the copper plate 3 and the aluminum plate 4 in this way, the copper plate 3 has a smaller ionization tendency when the adhesive sheet 2 is applied to the skin, without necessarily forming the aluminum plate 4 into a ring shape. will come into contact with the skin in the center, and the aluminum plate 4, which has a greater tendency to ionize, will come into contact with the skin around the periphery.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show an example in which copper, nickel, and aluminum are used as metals with different ionization tendencies.

Nickel has a greater tendency to ionize than copper and a less tendency to ionize than aluminum.

In this embodiment, a nickel plate 8 is attached to an adhesive sheet 2 between a copper plate 3 and an aluminum plate 4.

The nickel plate 8 is a ring-shaped nickel plate with approximately the same thickness as the copper plate 3 and the aluminum plate 4. The inner diameter of the ring is larger than that of the copper plate 3, and the outer diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the ring of the aluminum plate 4. is also smaller.

Then, the nickel plate 8 is fitted so that the copper plate 3 is fitted into the inner diameter of the nickel plate 8 with a gap left, and the outer diameter of the nickel plate 8 is fitted into the inner diameter of the aluminum plate 4 with a gap left therein. It is pasted on the adhesive surface 5 of the adhesive sheet 2 as shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, each plate 3. By arranging 4.8 in this way, when the adhesive sheet 2 is applied to the skin, which metal has a greater tendency to ionize, that is, the nickel plate 8 than the copper plate 3, and the aluminum plate 4 more than the nickel plate 8. This will cause contact with the skin in the surrounding area.

7 and 8 show an example in which the aluminum plate 4 is divided into six small plates and attached to the adhesive sheet 2.

The aluminum plate 4 of this embodiment consists of six disc-shaped aluminum plates that are approximately the same size as the copper plate 3, and these six aluminum plates 4 are arranged around the copper plate 3 in the center with a gap. They are arranged so as to surround each other and are pasted on the adhesive surface 5 of the adhesive sheet 2.

In this embodiment, by dividing the aluminum plate 4 into small plates and arranging them in this way, the copper plate 3, which has a smaller ionization tendency, can be formed when the adhesive sheet 2 is applied to the skin, without necessarily forming it into a ring shape. It is shown that the aluminum plate 4, which has a greater tendency to ionize, comes into contact with the skin at the periphery, with the central part being in contact with the skin.

9 and 10 show an embodiment in which a large number of granular copper pieces 9 are used instead of the copper plate 3, and a large number of granular aluminum pieces 10 are used instead of the aluminum plate 4. FIG.

A large number of granular copper pieces 9 are pasted near the center on the adhesive surface 5 of the adhesive sheet 2, and granular aluminum pieces 10 are
A large number of pieces of copper are pasted around the granular copper pieces 9 with gaps left between them so as to be electrically insulated from the copper pieces 9.

In this way, the metal attached to the adhesive sheet 2 is not necessarily a metal plate as in other embodiments, but may be a large number of granular metal pieces.

The skin patch treatment device of this invention configured as described above is
By applying it to the patient's skin (especially the affected area),
It can treat stiff shoulders, back pain, and other illnesses.

In other words, when the skin treatment device of this invention is applied to the skin, metals with a greater tendency to ionize have a strong tendency to cationize, and therefore emit a large number of electrons, causing the skin surface that comes into contact with the metal to become negatively charged. to be charged.

When the skin surface is negatively charged in this way, the lower part of the skin is positively charged due to electrostatic induction.

Conversely, when the skin comes into contact with a metal that has a smaller tendency to ionize, the surface of the skin becomes relatively positively charged and the lower part of the skin becomes negatively charged.

Therefore, in the lower part of the skin, a flow of negative ions occurs from the central part, which is in contact with metals with a smaller tendency to ionize, toward the peripheral part, which is in contact with metals, which have a greater tendency to ionize.

This corrects imbalances in bioelectricity within the patient's body, relieves tension in muscles and tiles, and is effective in treating stiff shoulders, lower back pain, and other illnesses.

As explained above, compared to conventional treatment devices, the skin patch treatment device of this invention has a gap between two different metal plates, so the current flowing through the skin does not form a loop. Since the flow is one-way from the central metal to the surrounding metal, it is possible to obtain a therapeutic effect consistent with the above-mentioned theory.

Furthermore, since only a flat metal plate is used, the molding process is easy and does not damage the skin surface.
