Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a health appliance, and particularly to an appliance having the function of performing acupressure and massage on the soles of the feet, the surfaces of the hands, the surfaces of the body, etc.

[Conventional technology]

In the past, various health devices have been proposed for applying acupressure to the soles of the feet, for example, by preparing a foot pedal with one or more protrusions on the surface, and stepping on the soles of the feet so as to touch the protrusions. Accordingly, a structure in which pressure points are applied with acupressure has been proposed.

However, conventional health equipment of this type only has protrusions fixed in a predetermined pattern on the foot treads, and users feel uncomfortable when they place the sole of their foot on the protrusion and step on it.
If you don't try to move your feet to a position that feels good,
The structure was such that it was impossible to align the protrusion of the health equipment with the tip of the sole of the foot where acupressure was to be applied.

However, the soles of the feet are scattered with a large number of protrusions, and it is actually difficult to arrange the protrusions so that acupressure can be applied to these many protrusions at once. Therefore, in order to apply acupressure to many acupuncture points, it is necessary to press the pressure points one by one, and in practice, it is difficult for a general user who does not have knowledge about acupuncture points to apply acupressure to a large number of acupuncture points.

In order to solve this problem, it is possible to arrange the protrusions to resemble the arrangement of pressure points, but even if this could be done, it would actually be difficult to step on the foot in order to accurately align the tip of the foot with a large number of protrusions. It would be difficult to repeat this, and no health equipment that would have sufficient medical effects had been proposed.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The present invention was made in consideration of the following points. In fact, each part of the body such as the feet, hands, and back is made up of a large number of relatively fine bones and ligaments that connect these large numbers of bones. By focusing on the fact that acupuncture points are distributed in ligament areas, in addition to being able to obtain effective acupressure effects by adapting to the structure of each part of the body, it is also possible to apply pine surgery to the ligaments, etc. This is an attempt to propose health equipment that can also provide benefits.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve this problem, in the present invention, the bottom plate 2
A large number of small balls 5 are placed in a small ball storage box 4 having a frame plate 3 so as to be able to roll or slide, and by pressing a part of the body against the small balls 5 and making a sliding movement, To obtain an acupressure effect and a pine surge effect on a part of the body.

[Effect]

When the - part of the monthly salary is pressed against the small moon (5), the small ball is pushed against the bone part and rolls or slides depending on the structure of the part of the body, and the space between the bones is position, thus pressing number 1
The force causes the small balls 5 to press against the rice grain between the bones, and kneading can produce an acupressure effect. At the same time, if the body part is slid onto the small ball 5-H, a pine surge effect can be obtained as the small ball 5 rolls and changes its contact position with respect to the body part. In this way, it is possible to realize a health appliance that can simultaneously obtain the acupressure effect and the pine surge effect.

〔Example〕

Embodiments in which the present invention is applied to foot care will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 indicates the (&I[E) instrument as a whole, which is rigid and has a surface S
A frame plate 3, which stands upwardly on the periphery of the rectangular bottom plate 2 magnetized to the north pole, is fixed together with an adhesive, for example. In this way, the frame plate 3 and the bottom plate 2 form a small ball storage box 4 having an upwardly open rectangular parallelepiped internal space, and a large number of small balls 5 are placed on the bottom plate 2 of this small ball storage box 4.

Here, the small sphere 5 is made of a magnetic material, has a diameter of about 8 [-], and is magnetized to the north pole and the south pole. The size of this small ball 5 is selected to be about the same size as the fine bones that make up the part of the body to be taken care of, in this example, the foot 6. Therefore, the small ball 5 is placed on the bottom plate 2. When a user stands on the small balls 5 while wearing the shoes lined up, each small ball 5 can come into contact with the ligament between the bones.

In the above configuration, a large number of small balls 5 are laid out on the bottom plate 2 of the health appliance 1 so as to occupy about 80% of the area, and the user stands with his or her feet 6 on top of these small balls 5.

If the user is simply standing on a part of the small sphere 5,
Since each of the small balls 5 is designed to be able to roll or slide, the small balls that hit the bones of the sole of the foot are subjected to a force that causes them to roll and hit the ligament between the bones. Move position. At this time, since the diameter of the small balls 5 is selected to be about the same size as a small bone, each small ball 5 naturally avoids the position of the bone and comes into contact with the ligament that connects the bones. become. In this state, the weight of the user is placed on the sole of the foot, so the small balls 5 press against the ligament, thus producing an acupressure effect on pressure points scattered around the ligament.

In addition to this acupressure effect, when the user slides the foot 6 back and forth or left and right against the bottom plate 2, each of the small balls 5 that were in contact with the ligaments between the bones of the foot It repeatedly moves to other ligament positions on the back of 6 while rolling or sliding. When the small ball 5 moves the ligament position on the sole of the foot 6 in this way, the same effect as when the sole of the foot 6 with medical shoes is subjected to pine surgery can be obtained.

Therefore, by applying the acupressure effect and the pine surge effect to the sole of the foot 6, the blood circulation of the ligament is improved, and therefore the foot 6
This will relieve your fatigue.

In addition to this effect, since the small sphere 5 and the bottom plate 2 are both magnetized, the magnetic flux β can produce a medical effect on the blood. The medical effect of this magnetic flux is
The above-mentioned acupressure effect and massage effect improve the blood flow, which increases synergistically.

Furthermore, in the case of the configurations shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, since the small balls 5 are magnetized and the surface of the bottom plate 2 is magnetized, the small balls 5
By applying a suction force from the bottom plate 2, it is possible to effectively prevent the small balls 5 from exceeding the frame plate 3 and jumping out from the small ball storage box 4.

According to experiments, the size of the bottom plate 2 is horizontal.

When Lz = 30 (cm) and length Lz = 40 (cm), a practically sufficient effect could be obtained.

In the above embodiment, the small balls 5 were magnetized to attract them to the bottom plate 2, but instead of this,
By making the pellet 5 from a paramagnetic material, it may have no magnetic pole itself. In this way, the small balls 5 are magnetized by the magnetic field of the bottom plate 2 and attracted to the bottom plate 2. However, even in this case, since the feet 6 are within the magnetic field of the sole plate 2, the medical effects of the magnetic field can be obtained.

Furthermore, the small balls 5 and the bottom plate 2 may not be magnetized, and in this case, the acupressure effect and the pine surge effect by the small balls 5 can be obtained.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the small ball storage box 4 consisting of a bottom plate 2 and a frame plate 3. A lid 7 that can be opened and closed by a hinge (not shown) is attached to the frame plate 3. The lid 7 can be fastened to the frame plate 3 by closing it on the frame plate 3 and engaging the fastener 8 with the receiver 9.

In this way, when the health appliance 1 is not in use, the small ball storage box 4 can be closed with the lid 7, which effectively prevents the small balls 5 from being accidentally scattered outside, thus improving portability. An excellent health appliance 1 can be realized.

The small ball storage box 4 is not limited to a rectangular shape, but may be square or polygonal, or may be circular or oval as shown in FIG. 4.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which a hemispherical depression 1 formed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 2 has a small ball 5C.
It is rotatably fitted into the 0.

Here, the placement position of the small ball 5 is selected to be approximately the size of the fine bones of the foot 6, so that when the user stands on the small ball 5, the small ball 5 is placed on the ligament between the bones. The protruding ends of the balls 5 are brought into contact with each other, thus producing an acupressure effect. In addition, since the small ball 5 is rotatably fitted into the recess 10, when the user slides the foot 6, the small ball 5 rotates accordingly, and the sole of the foot 6 is rotated. Can give a pine surge effect to.

In the above, an embodiment has been described in which the present invention is applied to acupressure or pine surgery on the soles of the feet, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The present invention may also be applied when performing pine surgery, and in this case, the shape and size of the small ball storage box 4 may be changed according to the main purpose. In this case, the diameter of the small ball 5 may be selected depending on the size of the bone in the part of the body to be contacted, the spacing between the acupuncture points, etc.
] ~ 311 (am), it was possible to obtain good acupressure and pine surge effects.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the user's monthly salary portion is pressed against the small balls 5 placed in the small ball storage box 4 so as to be able to roll or slide, and is made to slide. By doing so, the small ball 5 can be brought into contact with the position outside the acupressure area with good adaptability, and the contact position can be moved by utilizing the rotation of the small ball 5 in accordance with the sliding motion of the foot. By being able to do this, it is possible to easily obtain health equipment that can achieve the pine surge effect.
