Description

Movable Armrest Assembly for Hyperthermo-therpeutic Treatment Apparatus

The present invention relates to a mobile armrest assembly used in a thermotherapy device and a frame assembly for a thermotherapy device using the same.

In general, the thermotherapy device is an alternative medicine product that performs spinal treatment by gently applying pressure and straightening the bent spine while the user heats his spine while lying on a bed mat. In order to further double the therapeutic effect on the spinal region of the user, the thermal therapy device is injecting far infrared rays to the user's treatment site in addition to the thermal steaming and acupressure treatment, thereby further improving its performance.

It is known that the heat treatment device was developed in Japan at the beginning, but it was further developed in Korea and released as a bag-type product and commercialized, and improved to a bed-type in consideration of the user's convenience. Typical examples of bed-type products include Korean Patent Registration No. 159994, "Therapeutic Bed", Korean Utility Model Registration No. 226573, "Therapeutic Heater", and Korean Patent Registration No. 355398, "Driver of Mat for Thermal Therapy". Can be mentioned.

However, Patent Registration No. 159994 "Therapeutic bed" was developed for the first time in Korea as a bed type thermotherapy device, the bed frame is completely fixed, and its volume is very large and its weight is very heavy so that the general public can There was a disadvantage that was not suitable for use.

On the contrary, the Utility Model Registration No. 226573 "Thermal Therapy" further improves these disadvantages, and manufactures a bed frame in a prefabricated manner and mounts a thermal therapy mat thereon. This method uses four bed leg frames to assemble them together, which greatly reduces the overall weight, promotes mobility and convenience, and has emerged as a universal model of bed type thermal therapy machines today. Doing.

FIG. 1 shows a frame assembly 50 'for a bed type thermotherapy device which is conventionally used. Conventional bed-type thermotherapy frame assembly 50 'includes a pedestal frame 30 on which the thermotherapy mat 40 can be placed. The pedestal frame 30 allows the user to mount the heat treatment mat 40 to allow the user to receive treatment, and performs the function of the supporting plate as a whole.

In addition, the conventional frame assembly 50 'couples the two upper leg frames 10 and the two lower leg frames 20 to both sides of the pedestal frame 30, the coupling method is typically It is by screwing. In addition, it is positioned and coupled to the lower side of the bed frame assembly 50 'to receive the load of the lower body of the user, one end 22 is formed to be in contact with the bottom face toward the outside of the bottom On the other hand, the other end 24 is coupled to the other end 14 of the upper leg frame 10.

However, such a conventional frame assembly 50 'has a width of the therapeutic mat 40 (the main mat and the auxiliary mat, which is the same below) placed thereon by the width of the pedestal frame 30. The treatment mat determines the space for the spine treatment of the user lying on it.

On the other hand, the size of the mat 40 is determined for mass production, the dimensions are based on the general public. Therefore, compared to the general public, the larger the size of the person, when lying on the mat 40, the weight of his body becomes larger, and in severe cases occupy the entire area of the mat 40. This phenomenon is more likely to occur to foreigners than to Koreans, because foreigners often have greater physical conditions than Koreans.

However, foreigners who have a higher physical condition than Koreans use the same type of bed heat treatment device, but their complaints are more severe and often occur. The reason is as follows.

Bed type thermal therapy device is to perform a thermal treatment and acupressure treatment for a considerable time while the user is lying on the mat 40, and in the process, the user relaxes in a naturally relaxed state. You fall asleep naturally. In this process, the user relaxes his body organs, especially his arms naturally descending on both sides of his stomach. At this time, in the case of the ordinary person, both arms that flow down both sides are placed on the main mat, or otherwise placed on the bed frame assembly, it is possible to continue to heat therapy and acupressure treatment in a comfortable state.

However, in the case of a person who is physically larger than a normal person, since his body lying on the mat 40 occupies all the space of the mat 40, his arms fall down on his stomach and at the same time by the bed frame assembly. It is not supported and falls cold downwards. At this time, the user is amazed and wakes up to sleep suddenly, nervous moments. The user puts his arms on his stomach again, falls asleep again, and repeats the above process.

As such, the conventional product repeats the above process, so that the user repeatedly performs the state of tension and relaxation, which leads to a very unsatisfactory rest time, and also tends to be halved in the therapeutic effect. This phenomenon was more severe in people with high physical conditions, including foreigners, than those with small physical conditions.

As such, the conventional bed type heat therapy device does not provide a more comfortable and calm rest time using a mat for people with large physical conditions in its use process.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a bed rest of the thermal therapy apparatus of the same product, regardless of the physical condition of the user can provide a sufficient rest time in a comfortable and relaxed state, and also to assist in enjoying a sufficient therapeutic effect To provide an armrest assembly.

In addition, another object of the present invention by combining the armrest assembly so as to move freely in the pedestal frame, even if the physical conditions are different people, bed type thermal therapy that allows anyone to enjoy a sufficient therapeutic effect comfortably It is to provide a frame assembly for the instrument.
