Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an adhesive magnetic therapy device for applying small magnetic pieces to the skin surface to improve blood circulation and relieve stiffness using magnetic lines of force.

This type of magnetic therapy device uses a disc of ferrite or the like with a diameter of 3 to 5 mm, magnetized so that the front and back sides become NS poles, and then attach it to the affected skin surface with adhesive tape or adhesive pads. It is known that it can be pasted on.

Adhesive tapes, adhesive pads, etc. usually have cloth as their base material, so that when they are applied to the skin surface, the skin will not get stuffy and irritated. In the case of a vinyl adhesive tape or pad, a large number of small holes are formed in the tape or pad to ensure air circulation so that skin breathing and perspiration are not inhibited.

However, these adhesive tapes or adhesive pads have a very low resistance to water, and there is a problem in that when taking a bath, water penetrates into the area to which they are applied, resulting in a rapid decrease in adhesive strength. Using waterproof tape or the like will prevent the adhesive strength from decreasing, but the skin will tend to get stuffy, and in severe cases, it may cause inflammation.

Further, according to the research conducted by the inventor of the present application, it has been confirmed that this type of magnetic therapy device is slow-acting and that a certain effect can be obtained by continuously applying it to the same affected area for at least one week. Therefore, there is a need for an application means that can withstand several baths and has little effect on the skin.

Another problem is that once the adhesive tape or pad deteriorates, the small magnet piece must be thrown away together with the adhesive tape or pad, which is very uneconomical, even though the performance of the small magnet piece does not deteriorate at all.

In order to solve these problems, the present applicant has already proposed a magnetic therapy device that has an adhesive portion on the surface to be attached to the human body in a patent application dated November 7, 1981. According to such a magnetic therapy device, there is no need to use adhesive tape or adhesive pads as in the past, so it does not impede the skin's breathing or perspiration at all, and can withstand application for a very long period of time. Magnet pieces can be reused.

However, as mentioned above, such magnetic therapy devices are very small, with a diameter of about 3 to 5 mm. For this reason, it is extremely difficult to handle the treatment device alone. For example, in order to peel off such a magnetic therapy device from a release paper (mounting paper) or apply it to an affected area of the human body, the main body of the therapy device must be directly picked up with fingers or the like. However, since the main body of this treatment device is very small, it is often difficult to pick it up and drop it, resulting in unsanitary conditions or the inconvenience of being lost. In particular, it has been very difficult to handle this type of magnetic therapy device, especially for elderly people who often use it.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to facilitate handling of the magnetic therapy device by removably attaching a gripping member to the back surface of the device.

The present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments and the drawings.

First, a first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a small magnet piece for a magnetic therapy device according to this embodiment.
It consists of a bell-shaped protrusion 3 formed at the center of the surface to be applied to the skin. The small magnet piece 1 is magnetized in the thickness direction as shown in the sectional view of FIG. 2, and is enclosed in a case 4 made of synthetic resin or synthetic rubber. This case 4 has an opening on the side of the convex portion 3 of the small magnet piece 1, and an adhesive 5 is applied to this opening as an adhesive portion.

The adhesive 5 is applied so as to surround the convex part 3 in an annular manner and reach a level near the top of the convex part 3. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the surface of the convex portion 3 can be affixed directly to the skin surface 6 without using an adhesive tape or adhesive pad. Therefore, even if it is applied for a long period of time, the skin will not become stuffy or irritated.

Adhesive 5 should be used in case 4 in sufficient amount for pasting.
Since the convex part 3 of the small magnet piece 1 is in close contact with the skin surface 6, the effect is not diminished by a thick adhesive layer, and the magnetic energy of the disc-shaped base 2 is can be intensively penetrated into the skin through the convex portions 3. Moreover, the excess adhesive does not protrude from the outer periphery of the attachment surface of the small magnet piece 1, allowing stable and reliable attachment.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, on the back side of the magnetic therapy device of this example, that is, on the side opposite to the side where it is attached to the human body, there is a flexible material made of paper or plastic as a gripping member. A holding sheet 7 is attached. This gripping sheet 7 is attached to the back surface of the case 4 via an adhesive layer (not shown). As shown in the figure, the gripping sheet 7 protrudes outward from the back surface of the case 4 to a relatively large extent. Therefore, this gripping sheet 7
As shown in FIG. 3, the protruding portion can be easily grasped with fingers or the like. By gripping the protruding portion of the gripping sheet 7, it is extremely easy to peel off the magnetic therapy device from the release paper (mounting paper) 8 and attach it to the skin surface 6 of the human body. It is done. Note that such magnetic therapy devices are usually commercially available in a state in which a plurality of therapy devices are attached to a single piece of release paper 8.

After the magnetic therapy device is attached to the human body, the gripping sheet 7 is peeled off and removed together with the adhesive layer from the main body of the magnetic therapy device. That is, the adhesive force between the gripping sheet 7 and the case 4 of the magnetic therapy device main body is configured to be weaker than the adhesive force of the magnetic therapy device main body to the human body. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
After being attached to the holding sheet 7, it can be easily peeled off by lifting only the holding sheet 7 upward. Gripping sheet 7 and treatment device case 4
The adhesive force between the two can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the adhesive area between them, the type of adhesive, the surface condition of the surface to be adhered in the case 4, and the like.

A second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B.

In the magnetic therapy device main body of this example, a ring-shaped double-sided adhesive sheet material 11 is used for attachment to the human body without using a fluid adhesive. This double-sided adhesive sheet material 11 is made by applying an adhesive 13 to both sides of a base material 12 such as synthetic rubber, polyurethane resin, or paper, and punching it out into a ring shape.
By attaching this double-sided adhesive sheet material 11 to the periphery of the convex portion 3 of the small magnet piece 1 as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. A treatment device is obtained.

As shown in FIG. 4B, a flexible gripping sheet 7 similar to that of the first embodiment is attached to the back surface of the small magnet piece 1. By gripping this gripping sheet 7 with fingers or the like, handling of the magnetic therapy device is facilitated. 8 is release paper.

A third embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B.

In this example, a circular recess 18 is formed in the center of the surface 17 of the small magnet piece 16 that is attached to the skin. Then, adhesive 19 is applied or filled into this recess 18 as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 5A. Such an adhesive portion allows the magnetic therapy device main body to be directly attached to the skin surface. Small piece of magnet 1
A gripping sheet 7 is also attached to the back side of 6.

In the embodiment described above, the gripping sheet 7 was configured to protrude from the back surface of the main body of the magnetic therapy device over the entire circumference, but the gripping member of the present invention is , it is sufficient that at least a portion of such an adhesive sheet protrudes like a tab.

Moreover, it is also possible to configure the gripping member as follows. That is, the adhesive sheet is bent to have a T-shaped cross section, and the T-shaped horizontal bar is attached to the back of the main body of the magnetic therapy device so as to grip the T-shaped legs.

Furthermore, the small magnet piece of the present invention is not limited to the disk shape as in the above embodiments, but is square, hexagonal,
It may be semi-spherical or the like.

As explained above, in the present invention, the gripping member is removably attached to the back surface of the magnetic therapy device, which has an adhesive portion on the surface to be attached to the human body. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the magnetic therapy device from the release paper (mounting paper),
When applying the material to an affected part of the human body, the holding member can be held with fingers or the like, so it can be handled extremely easily and reliably.
Further, such a gripping member can be removed from the treatment device main body after the magnetic treatment device main body is attached to the affected area of the human body, so that it does not get in the way. moreover,
Since the magnetic therapy device of the present invention has an adhesive portion on the surface to be applied to the human body, there is no need to use adhesive tapes, adhesive pads, etc. as in the past. Therefore, it does not impede the skin's breathing or perspiration at all, can withstand application for a very long period of time, and can be reused.
