Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 66, the head of the human body has a wind pond P1, a celestial column (first point of the back neck) P2, a basin hollow (amon) P3, and a mastoid process. There is an area B1 where important points that are effective for eyestrain, stiff shoulders, headache, activation of brain function, etc., such as the nerve spot P4 underneath, are gathered. Since this area B1 is a connecting point between the skull and muscles, it is a place where fatigue accumulates. By pushing this area B1, the fatigue of the head can be relieved. On the other hand, on the shoulder of the human body, there is an area B2 where important acupuncture points such as the fourth point P5 of the back neck and the lateral neck and the acupoint P6 of the upper part of the shoulder are gathered.

The curved portion 55a (particularly, the convex curved portion 62, the surface side of the inclined surface portion 59) presses the acupuncture points on the lumbar region of the human body (for example, the sacral region, the Nanetsu pressure point, the acupuncture points on the upper part of the iliac crest, etc.). The second curved portion 55d presses the acupuncture points on the lumbar region and the lower part of the shoulder of the human body. Further, the entire lumbar region is lifted upward and stretched by the linear portion 55c, the first curved portion 55a, and the second curved portion 55d. Since the body is supported by a relatively long straight portion 55c that descends diagonally, stretching can be performed for a long time without pain. As a result, low back pain can be effectively alleviated, eliminated or prevented. When the kidney P32 is lightly pressed by the linear portion 55c, it feels like Sue and Qi pass through the nose, and the fatigue of the entire waist disappears at once.

As described above, by lifting the hip bone upward by the first auxiliary acupressure device 51 and stretching the entire waist, the muscles of the entire waist are stretched to recover from fatigue, and at the same time, the range of motion of the waist is increased. Low back pain occurs because the muscles of the lower back become tired and the muscles cannot expand and contract, and the muscles become like sticks, and when the hips are bent there, all the compression force goes to the bones and the bones become deformed. It ends up. This causes back pain. Therefore, it is important to stretch the lower back muscles once a day to make them flexible and stretchable. When you are young, your muscles are soft and highly elastic, but as you get older, your muscles become stiff and less elastic. Be especially careful of elderly people who lack exercise and stretch. Therefore, according to the first auxiliary acupressure device 51, the important acupuncture points (for example, the sacral portion, the Namikoshi pressure point, the acupuncture point on the upper part of the iliac crest, etc.) that should be pressed most strongly at the first curved portion 55a are pressed. .. Furthermore, since the body is supported by a relatively long straight portion 55c that descends diagonally, pain does not occur, it is comfortable, and it is possible to stretch for a long time. Further, since the acupuncture points away from the first curved portion 55a are softly pressed by the second curved portion 55d, the two acupuncture points are stimulated and the comfort is doubled. Further, since it is supported by a large number of portions of the first curved portion 55a, the second curved portion 55d, and the linear portion 55c, the lateral stability of the pressed portion is high.

Further, in the second auxiliary acupressure device 52, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 42, the first auxiliary acupressure device 52 is in a state where the acupuncture points of the lumbar region and the lower part of the shoulder are pressed by the linear portion 55c to support the body (spine). The curved portion 55a (particularly, the convex curved portion 62, the surface side of the inclined surface portion 59) presses the acupuncture points on the back (for example, the acupuncture points on the liver P31 and the interscapular region), and the second curved portion 55d presses them. The acupoints on the lower back and lower shoulders are pressed. Further, the entire back portion is lifted upward and stretched by the linear portion 55c, the first curved portion 55a, and the second curved portion 55d. In particular, by pressing the liver P31, the back is stretched in the opposite direction, so that the back of the cat is corrected and the posture is improved. Furthermore, the deltoid muscle in the vicinity of the liver P31 is very tired and comfortable, and when it is turned sideways, it pushes the deltoid muscle under the armpit. As a result, the stoop is effectively alleviated, eliminated or prevented, and stiff shoulders are also alleviated, eliminated or prevented.

(3) Effect of Example According to the acupressure device set 50 of this example, the left and right main acupressure devices composed of the above-mentioned acupressure device 1 and the first auxiliary acupressure for pressing the local areas of the lumbar region and buttocks of the human body. A device 51 and a second auxiliary acupressure device 52 for pressing a local area on the back of the human body are provided. As a result, for example, when the user puts his head on the main acupressure device 1 on his back or sideways, and further puts each part of the human body on the auxiliary acupressure devices 51 and 52, the main acupressure device 1 takes measures against stiff shoulders. At the same time, the auxiliary acupressure devices 51 and 52 take measures against fatigue in each part of the human body.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned examples, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention according to the purpose and application. That is, in the above embodiment, the acupressure device set 50 including the left and right main acupressure devices 1, the first and second auxiliary acupressure devices 51, 52, and the left and right secondary acupressure devices 21, 22, 24 to 27 has been illustrated. Not limited to this, for example, as shown in FIG. 44, the acupressure device set 50A including the left and right main acupressure device 1 and the first auxiliary acupressure device 51, or the left and right main acupressure device 1 and the second auxiliary acupressure device 52 The acupressure device set 50B including the left and right main acupressure devices 1 and the acupressure device sets 50C including the first and second auxiliary acupressure devices 51 and 52 may be used.

The acupressure device set 50E including the second secondary acupressure device 22 may be used.

Further, in the above embodiment, the leg portion 55e connected to one end side of the second curved portion 55d is connected to the one end side of the first curved portion 55a together with the first auxiliary acupressure device 51 facing the main acupressure device 1 side. The second auxiliary acupressure device 52 facing the main acupressure device 1 side has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the first auxiliary in which the leg portion 55b connected to one end side of the first curved portion 55a faces the main acupressure device 1 side. The acupressure device 51 may be used, or the second auxiliary acupressure device 52 may be used such that the leg portion 55e connected to one end side of the second curved portion 55d faces the main acupressure device 1 side.

<About each example>
According to the acupressure device 1 and the acupressure device sets 20 and 50 of this embodiment, an amateur can carry out the care of his / her own body as firmly as an expert. For example, you can get rid of stiff shoulders at your favorite time every day, and you can spend time without stiff shoulders. Therefore, it is possible to prevent diseases caused by stiff shoulders and contribute to reduction of medical expenses. Further, according to this acupressure device 1, the user is pressed by a total of two acupressure teachers, one on the head and one on the shoulder, by simultaneously pressing the head and shoulders at a plurality of points. I get the feeling of being. Further, by placing the user's head on the first outer peripheral side pressing body 4 and applying a part of the body weight, the nerve in the vicinity of the dairy process is caused by the side surface of one leg of the second outer peripheral side pressing body 5. The spot is pressed and a strong acupressure effect can be obtained. Further, by increasing the width of each outer peripheral side pressing body, the stiff shoulder by the acupressure device 1 can be used for a long time as a pillow for a good night's sleep and a deep sleep. Further, capturing and pressing the nerve spot near the dairy protrusion on the side surface of one leg of the second outer peripheral side pressing body 5 is wonderful because it captures and presses the acupuncture point of the source of life energy. A health-promoting effect can be obtained.

The nerve spot near the dairy process is a universal, super spot of nerve. It leads to the whole body and activates the nerves of the whole body. It is also a life energy generation switch and a health energy generation switch. Pressing here daily makes your body healthier and your mind more stable. In addition, it smoothes the flow of nerves and makes them healthy.

On the other hand, in acupressure by a shiatsu master, the shiatsu master applies his or her own weight through the finger surface around the fulcrum of one knee to apply the strength of pressure to the acupressure body. The area of acupressure by this shiatsu master is the tip of the thumb, which is relatively small. On the other hand, according to the acupressure device sets 20 and 50, the pressure due to the weight of the acupressure person is dispersed and applied to each acupressure device. The acupressure area of each of these acupressure devices is a convex surface such as an outer peripheral side pressing body, and is larger than the acupressure area by the thumb of a acupressure master. Then, since the human being is placed on the acupressure device, a strong pressing force can be obtained, and a constant pressing force can be obtained for a long time. On the other hand, the acupressure by the shiatsu master is a small pressing pressure, and the shiatsu master gets tired, so it is impossible to maintain a stable pressing pressure for a long time.

In addition, since a large pressing force can be obtained with the main acupressure device 1 and the acupressure device sets 20 and 50, when obtaining a pressing force equivalent to that of a shiatsu master, it is possible to press with a convex area larger than the thumb (that is, the acupressure area). Become. Since the acupressure area is large, even if an amateur who does not know the position of the acupoints presses with about, the acupoints can easily enter the acupressure area. As a result, you can easily press the same acupoints as a professional shiatsu master. That is, the acupressure device 1 and the acupressure device sets 20 and 50 that "even an amateur can produce a professional-level acupressure effect". Further, since the acupressure device 1 and the acupressure device sets 20 and 50 can perform constant pressing for a long time, it can be applied to the development of a sleep sound sleep pillow and a sleep sound sleep bed by reducing the acupressure pressure. It should be noted that the acupressure master can use the main acupressure device 1 and the acupressure device sets 20 and 50 as the body care of the acupressure device himself, although the body gets tired when acupressure is applied to 4 to 5 people a day.

Furthermore, according to the acupressure device sets 20 and 50, the main part of the acupressure person can be pressed, so that "backache, lower back bending, stoop, constipation, leg fatigue, visceral fatigue, etc. The effect comes out clearly. In addition, the same acupressure effect as a total of five acupressure masseurs, including the head, shoulders, back muscles, lumbar region, and buttocks, is obtained at the same time.

Massage has been around the world since ancient times. This is because human beings want to eliminate muscle stiffness and fatigue throughout the body. If you use these acupressure device sets 20 and 50, you can achieve the same or better effect without receiving acupressure (including massage) from others, at your own self-confidence, at your favorite time and place, and on your own body. Can take care of.

Further, when the acupressure device 1 and the acupressure device sets 20 and 50 are used to service acupressure to another person, a large number of acupressure persons can be managed by one person. In addition, acupressure people can provide acupressure services by learning a little acupuncture points. As a result, the acupressure charge is significantly reduced. When the acupressure fee goes down, the number of people who do acupressure will increase significantly. Even in developing countries, there are more opportunities to receive acupressure. This will increase shiatsu jobs in developing countries, increase employment, improve people's lives, and increase the country's GDP.

Here, "acupressure" means applying pressure with a finger (through a finger). Also, in the case of self-acupressure, the trick of self-acupressure is to balance the whole body, gradually apply pressure, and gradually release the pressure without applying force to the fingertips. Also, be sure to apply acupressure perpendicular to the skin surface. Furthermore, the shiatsushi method applies pressure by applying the weight of the shiatsushi through the fingertips without exerting force on the fingertips. It is effective when the pressure penetrates from the skin to the muscles comfortably and gently. The so-called acupressure is to apply pressure by applying the "natural force" of body weight.

In the acupressure device 1 and the acupressure device sets 20 and 50, a pressing body made of an elastic material is used at the contact point with the body in order to express the "softness of the skin of the hand" of the acupressure master. Further, the structure of the pressing body can be changed depending on the strength of the applied pressure.

In addition, in order to gently convey the weight pressure of the acupressure to the skin of the hand, the "flexibility of the joints of the fingers, wrists, elbows, and shoulders" of the acupressure is an essential condition for acupressure, and here "the essence of acupressure". There is. Therefore, in this acupressure device 1, in order to express "flexibility of the joint", a leg portion for ground contact is provided, and the contact point with the body to the leg portion of the ground contact surface is formed of a single elastic material. Has been done. By applying body weight pressure, the entire leg structure of the pressing body is deformed and acts as a joint.

Further, in the acupressure device 1 and the acupressure device sets 20 and 50, instead of the weight of the acupressure teacher, the acupressure device 1 is placed on the acupressure device and pressed by oneself "using the weight". Being able to use one's own weight is the use of true natural power, and the use of true natural power is the essence of acupressure. A good acupressure teacher is to be able to make full use of one's own weight and give a change in pressure by "body gravity" to apply acupressure.

On the other hand, the acupressure of the shiatsu master is that the person under pressure wears only one piece of light clothing and sleeps. It can be said that this is a 100% stable state because the acupressure person relaxes all the physical strength and sleeps in a weakened state. The shiatsu master is in a state where he can fully utilize his weight pressure. On the other hand, when standing or sitting, you are using your strength to maintain that posture. This is not true acupressure, but is called massage or massage. According to the acupressure device 1 and the acupressure device sets 20 and 50, the user is completely weakened and gets on the acupressure device. It's true acupressure. In addition, the acupressure device 1 and the acupressure device sets 20 and 50 are also "tools for an amateur to search for acupuncture points on his / her body". Further, in the acupressure device 1, all the pressing portions in contact with the body are R curved surfaces. Further, the acupressure device 1 can be easily moved and adjusted in all the XYZ axial directions. You can adjust the part to be pressed by the body and the strength of the pressing pressure.

Also, be sure to apply acupressure perpendicular to the skin surface. Since it is acupressure, there is only one point of contact with the skin. The acupuncture points are points, and even if they are pressed with a line, the acupuncture points cannot be pressed and the acupressure effect does not appear. You can only massage with a line. On the other hand, in this acupressure device 1, the contact portion with the body is always in contact with one point on the R curved surface, and the force direction is perpendicular to the tangent line. That is, it is pressed perpendicular to the skin.

Further, since the acupressure device 1 is made of an elastic body and the stability of ground contact is maintained by the four legs, the acupressure device does not move and is stable, and the user's own weight as described above is obtained. It is possible to execute pressing using. In short, you can take advantage of the natural force of 100% body weight. If the device that receives the body weight moves, the body weight cannot be fully utilized. This is not acupressure.

In addition, this acupressure device 1 specializes in being able to simultaneously press the head around the mastoid process and the shoulder around the upper part of the shoulder, which is the source of shoulder stiffness, thereby epoch-making stiff shoulders. The purpose is to reduce the problem.

Further, according to the acupressure device 1 and the acupressure device sets 20 and 50, not only physical health but also "mental health is promoted": it has an effect of relaxing consciousness. Place your body on the acupressure device and you will be completely weakened. "When you weaken, your consciousness relaxes." You can relax your consciousness, such as when you are relaxing in an open-air hot spring or when you are drawn into a starry sky. It is indispensable to relax the consciousness of the person who lives in tension in daily life. There are two times when you are nervous and relaxed, and you can maintain your mental health for the first time. This acupressure device (self-care all-purpose acupressure device) that can relieve the fatigue of the body and relax the consciousness of the day is a necessary item for the healthy life of human "body and mind".

Your hands can grab things dexterously, write letters, and eat with chopsticks. This is because the carpal bones, metacarpal bones, and finger bones can move well. If these bones do not move, the hands will be very inconvenient. Compare the same with the bones of the foot. What about tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges? It doesn't move as much as the bones of the hand, and you can't do detailed work like the hand. The reason for this is that the bones of the foot do not move as finely as the bones of the hand. If the bones of the foot move as finely as the bones of the hand, the force to grasp the ground will increase, which will prevent the elderly from falling and prevent the athlete's foot from being injured. Stretching the base of the foot, the back of the foot, and the toes is inevitably effective for moving the bones of the foot. By sitting upright on the O-leg correction finger pressure set or bending back, body gravity causes pressure on the perimeter of the knee joint, the three points of the leg, and the lateral part of the lower leg, and stretches the base, back of the foot, and toes. it can. On the other hand, if you lie on your back and place your leg on the O-leg correction acupressure set, you can press the calf, Achilles tendon, posterior side of the tumor, lateral part of the tumor, and medial part of the tumor. By combining both sitting and lying on the back, the ability to grasp the ground is doubled, which helps prevent falls in the elderly and prevents injuries to the feet of athletes. It also improves blood flow in the legs and improves sensitivity to cold.

Furthermore, regarding the applicable range of the above-mentioned acupressure device set 20 "(O-leg correction acupressure set 20"), by sitting upright on the O-leg correction acupressure set or bending back, you can immediately get drowsy and get rid of tiredness. , Vitality is restored. Place it in the office to wake up employees, relieve fatigue, and restore vitality in "a few minutes." If you put it in a massage shop in the city, you can operate "5-minute fatigue recovery" at a low price. If you put it at home, you will recover from fatigue in "a few minutes" when you return from work or going out. Can be used as a leg pillow when sleeping. Athletes can use it as an injury prevention stretch before exercising and as a fatigue recovery after exercising. There are many people who are actually having trouble with genu varum. Actresses, talents and models are essential items. Correct O-legs, create more beautiful legs, and recover from fatigue. Standing workers such as department stores and flight attendants are also essential items.
