Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a novel far-infrared rays-applied foot-stomping health device that combines the so-called bamboo-stepped health device with the heating effect of far-infrared rays that penetrate deep inside the human body. It is something.

The heat rays that have traditionally been used as heating sources have been near-infrared rays ranging from visible light to wavelengths of about 3 microns. When the human body is heated by this near-infrared rays, it gives a burning sensation to the skin, and if used for a long period of time, there is a risk of sunburn or eye damage. On the other hand, if the wavelength is 5 microns or more, preferably 10
Far infrared rays with a wavelength of ~25 microns have little irritation to the skin, but can penetrate deep into the subcutaneous tissue and heat it, expanding blood vessels, improving blood circulation, and relieving muscle pain, etc. The inventors of the present invention have confirmed that there are various thermal therapeutic effects, such as the ability to relieve pain.

As a heating source that emits far infrared rays with a wavelength of 5 microns or more, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 47-25010,
Metal oxide-based or ceramic-based heating elements known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-9494, Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-31723, etc. are well known. This kind of heating element is the third
As shown in the figure, whose radiation characteristics are shown for each surface temperature, it is unique in comparison with conventional heating elements in that it has a high emissivity for far-infrared rays with wavelengths of 5 microns or more.

In addition, in Oriental medicine, the soles of the feet are considered important as they are closely related to health promotion and disease treatment, and there is a well-known health method that stimulates the soles of the feet by stepping on curved green bamboo. When you directly stimulate the soles of your feet by stepping on bamboo, it not only stimulates your muscles and nerves, but also stimulates your muscles and nerves.
Shiatsu has the effect of stimulating the acupuncture points and blood vessels that are concentrated on the soles of the feet, improving blood circulation and having a positive effect on internal organs.

This invention synergizes the acupressure effect of such conventional bamboo pedal health equipment with the heating effect of far infrared rays that penetrate deep into the human body, further increasing the acupressure effect and further improving appetite and preventing diseases. We also aim to provide effective health equipment.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a so-called semicylindrical semicircular cross-sectional, semicylindrical instrument body having a required length, and small protrusions 2, 2, . . . are appropriately formed protruding from the surface thereof. 3,3...
is a radiation plate made of a metal oxide or ceramic material embedded in the device main body 1 so as to be exposed on the surface. The radiation plates 3, 3, . . . are made of black zirconia ceramics known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 47-25010, and emit far infrared rays with a wavelength of 5 microns or more. Reference numeral 4 designates an electric heater buried under the radiation plates 3, 3, . . . in order to heat the radiation plates 3, 3, . 5 is a power cord connected to the electric heater 4.

The far-infrared applied foot health appliance of the present invention configured as described above radiates heat from the electric heater 4 using electricity input from the power cord 5 connected to the power outlet, and uses the heat to radiate the radiation plates 3, 3... is heated to emit far-infrared rays with a wavelength of 5 microns or more. Then, in this state, you can step on both feet alternately on the left and right in the same way as with the conventional bamboo stomping health device, or stand up while stepping on them, or apply pressure to your feet while sitting on a chair. By touching the soles of the feet intermittently or continuously with the radiation plates 3, 3, etc. in any way, it is possible to synergize with the acupressure effect and exert the thermal effect of far infrared rays that penetrates deep into the human body. .

By the way, some examples of treatments using this foot health device are as follows.

When a 28-year-old woman suffering from coldness and lower back pain used the product for about 15 minutes twice a day, her lower back pain disappeared within 3 days, and after continuing for another 2 weeks, there was a significant improvement in her sensitivity to cold.

A 48-year-old man suffering from sexual fatigue and weak stomach used the product for about 20 minutes every day. Within a week, the fatigue that had not been improved by simply stepping on green bamboo disappeared, and the accompanying fatigue was gone. My lack of appetite gradually returned.

In this way, the foot pedal health device of the present invention not only stimulates the muscles and nerves brought about by conventional bamboo foot health devices, but also has the acupressure effect of mechanically stimulating pressure points and blood vessels that are concentrated on the soles of the feet. The synergistic thermal effect that penetrates deep into the subcutaneous tissue promotes blood circulation and has a positive effect on internal organs, helping to recover from fatigue, increase appetite, relieve back pain, sensitivity to cold, obesity, lack of exercise, and more. It is also effective for body beauty and sleep. Moreover, since it is easy to handle, it has many advantages, including the fact that it can be easily used by anyone to improve their health.
