Therefore, It should be understood that various equivalents and modifications may be present. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.

Hereinafter, a thermal pad for acupressure according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 3, the thermal pad for acupressure according to the present invention includes a film 100, an elastic layer 200 formed on one surface of the film 100 and formed to have elasticity, an elastic layer 200, A heating gel 300 applied to one side of the film 100 to contact the skin of the user and applying heat to the skin contacted with the elastic layer 200 and the heated gel 300, And the other side includes a plurality of protrusions 500 positioned on the same line as the upper end of the hot gel 300.

First, the film 100 is a general film of a transparent or opaque shape having a predetermined thickness, and may be made of polyester (PET) or the like. The film 100 is a member to which the elastic layer 200 is to be applied. In the present embodiment, the film 100 is described as a transparent or opaque PET film, but is not limited thereto. That is, the film 100 may include several means by which the elastic layer 200 may be applied. The film 100 is formed so as to cover the abdomen and the side of the user, and a hole 400 is formed at the center of the film 100 to expose a user's belly button. In this embodiment, the film 100 is formed so as to cover the user's abdomen and side, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The shape of the film 100 may be changed according to various parts of the user . The elastic layer 200 is formed on one side of the film 100 formed as described above.

The elastic layer 200 is a foam formed of soft polyurethane, and is formed to adhere to one surface of the film 100, and is formed to have a high elastic recovery rate. At this time, the elastic layer 200 preferably has an elastic recovery rate of at least 80% or more.

On the other hand, the hot gel 300 is applied on one side of the elastic layer 200.

The hot gel 300 may be prepared by mixing an acrylic adhesive, tocopherol, tocotrienol, capsaicin, red ginseng extract, and rooibos extract.

The acrylic adhesive includes an ethyl acetate, an acrylic copolymer, and an acetone.

Tocopherol is a kind of fat-soluble vitamin E, and it appears in the form of four kinds of tocopherols (α, β, γ, δ), but the most common one is α-tocopherol Is used. The important function of vitamin E in human body is antioxidant, which inhibits the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, which constitute a substance which is easily oxidized in cells, especially cell membranes, thereby functioning to prevent cell membrane damage and further damage to tissues. The above-mentioned tocopherol can be extracted from wheat germ oil, rice bran, soybean oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, vegetables, green and yellow vegetable legumes and the like.

Tocotrienol is a type of vitamin E, which has four forms of alpha, beta, gamma and delta. It has antioxidant, anticancer, hyperlipidemia, hypoglycemia, and arteriosclerosis. And it is known that it is 40 ~ 60 times stronger than tocopherol in terms of effect. In particular, the generation of free radicals and lipid peroxidation caused by oxidation leads to a strong antioxidative action that inhibits aging by inhibiting the loss of physiological activity of cell membrane and intracellular biofilm, weakening of cell function and necrosis. Generally, it is known that tocotrienol acts synergistically more effectively than alpha-tocopherol alone to prevent disease and prevent aging. These tocotrienols can be extracted from rice bran, palm oil, barley embryo, corn, tea, and the like.

Capsicum Annuum Fruit Extract is a colorless, volatile compound extracted from red pepper. It is an alkaloid having the formula of C ₁₈ H ₂₇ NO ₃ and is a spicy ingredient. It is most abundant in red pepper seeds and skin, and is used as medicinal and fragrance. It is known to be used as an analgesic agent using an analgesic effect, a preservative using a bactericidal action, an appetite stimulating agent using a salivary gland and a stimulation of gastric stimulation, and has recently been shown to have an effect of inhibiting cancer metastasis. It also functions to inhibit fat accumulation in the body by activating the metabolism and burning and decomposing the fat.

Red ginseng saponin is a saponin contained in red ginseng. Saponin has antioxidant activity and it can reduce skin lipid peroxidation and prevent skin abnormality such as vitiligo, liver and recurrent dermatitis. It prevents skin aging by antioxidant action. It does.

The rooibos extract is superoxide dismutase (SOD). Superoxide dismutase is excellent in antioxidative activity, has an effect of inhibiting active oxygen production, and has a skin abnormality such as atopic dermatosis, warts, It is effective. This superoxide dismutase serves to protect cells from toxicity by replacing excess oxygen ions with oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, and prevents skin aging.

The thermal gel 300 may contain 97 to 98% by weight of acrylic adhesive, 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of tocopherol, 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of tocotrienol, 0.6 to 1.2% by weight of capsaicin, 0.07 to 0.4% by weight of red ginseng extract, 0.4 wt% are mixed and formed.

In addition, the hot gel 300 may further contain 0.1 to 0.3% by weight of vanillyl butyl ether. Vanilylbutylether is an organic compound used in hair, oral cavity and skin care. It is used as an additive to cosmetics as a flavoring substance, or it is also used as an effective ingredient in hair conditioning, skin conditioning and oral cleansing itself. Vanilyl Butyl Ether is absorbed deep into the skin to provide a warm effect, so it relaxes the muscles and is effective in pain relief. It is preferable that vanillyl butylether is added in the winter of minus 10 ° to 40 °. Namely, during the winter season, vanillyl butyl ether can stimulate the pressure of the skin and enhance the fat decomposition efficiency by promoting circulation of blood with warm feeling that is applied when it is applied.

The hot gel 300 may be divided into a warm region for imparting heat to the user's skin and an aging prevention region for preventing skin aging of a user who is in contact with the skin, Capsaicin content. That is, more capsaicin is contained in the warm region and more heat is transferred to the skin of the user in contact with the warm region. Here, the capsaicin content in the warm region is formed to be about 3 to 5 times higher than the capsaicin content in the skin aging prevention region. When the content of capsaicin in the hot zone is higher than three times the content of capsaicin in the skin antiaging zone, the capsaicin content of the hot zone does not provide adequate warmth to the skin to be contacted, The content of capsaicin in the skin antiaging area is too small to transmit heat to the skin in contact with the skin aging prevention area due to the limited capsaicin content. The thermal region may be disposed at any position in the entire region of the elastic layer 200.

On the other hand, a plurality of fine holes may be formed in the film 100, the elastic layer 200, and the hot gel 300. The sweat produced when the warmth is transferred to the abdomen may deteriorate the adhesion force even though the hot gel 300 has a residual heat component. Therefore, the adhesive force of the hot gel 300 can be maintained by allowing sweat to be discharged by the minute holes formed in the film 100, the elastic layer 200, and the hot gel 300.

The thermal pad for acupressure according to the present invention may further include a hole 400 formed through the film 100, the elastic layer 200, and the thermal gel 300 at the center thereof. When the user uses the thermal pad for acupressure at the abdomen, the position of the hole 400 and the position of the user's navel can be matched to prevent the adhesive component and the heat generating component from penetrating into the user's navel, and the protrusion 500, To guide the correct hemostasis.

The projecting portion 500 is formed so as to have a smaller cross-sectional area toward one side end, and is formed so as to pass through the elastic layer 200 and the hot gel 300. The other end, which faces the one side end, (Not shown). The one end of the protrusion 500 is disposed so as to be on the same line as the upper end of the hot gel 300. The protrusions 500 are formed in eight directions with respect to the holes 400. Each of the positions is located in accordance with the abdominal hemorrhage, moisture, bowel, sacrum, dagger, and paralysis, and the elastic layer 200 and the hot gel 300 are stacked to be able to shrike the hemorrhages. Hydration is located at the center of the abdomen along the line from the navel up to a village (the width of the finger joint width of the thumb) blood pressure, blood pressure, chiropractic abdominal obesity, gastrointestinal disease is effective. Hemorrhagic bleeding is effective for gastrointestinal diseases and constipation when it is applied to blood vessels which are located at a distance of 2 cms from left to right in the blood. Chubu blood is located at a point two o'clock to the left and right side of the umbilical cord blood pressure, chiropractic, gastrointestinal disease, constipation and lower abdomen is effective in obesity. Dagger blood is located in the lower part of the chubu blood, which is located in the lower part of the blood vessels of the stomach, gastrointestinal disease, constipation, abdominal obesity is effective. It is also called densen, which is located at a point 1.5 촌 away from the umbilicus. It is effective in enhancing the stamina and blood circulation. The position of the protrusion 500 is not limited to the above-described position, but may be located in other hemispheres of the abdomen.

2 is a cross-sectional view of the thermal pad for acupressure according to line A in Fig.

The thermal pad for acupressure is formed on a film 100, an elastic layer 200 formed on the film 100, a hot gel 300 formed on the elastic layer 200, and an elastic layer 200 formed on the film 100, And protrusions 500 formed through the thermal gel 300. The protrusions 500 are formed up to the height of the elastic layer 200 and the thermal gel 300. Also, the elastic layer 200 may be made of polyurethane foam and have a high elastic recovery rate.

A material with a high elastic recovery rate is deformed due to elongation, compression, bending, etc. when an external force is applied, and it is good to return to its original state after the external force disappears. For example, a sponge is a material with a high elastic recovery rate.

When the abdomen is inflated by the user's breathing, the elastic layer 200 is contracted and compressed, and at the same time pressure is exerted on the abdomen through the protrusion 500 to obtain an acupressure effect. When the abdomen is contracted, the elastic layer 200 returns to its original shape and the pressure applied to the abdomen disappears.

The protrusions 500 are preferably formed to a height at which the elastic layer 200 and the hot gel 300 are laminated. When the height of the protrusion 500 is higher than the height of the elastic layer 200 and the hot gel 300 as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the height difference between the protrusion 500 and the hot gel 300, A region P in which the film is not adhered properly may occur. If the hot gel 300 is not adhered to the abdomen, the heat generating component included in the hot gel 300 is not absorbed by the abdomen and can not transmit heat. 2 (c), when the protrusion 500 is formed lower than the height of the elastic layer 200 and the heated gel 300, when the user expands the abdomen through respiration, the elastic layer 200 is first contracted And when the elastic layer 200 is contracted by a certain level or more, the repulsive force becomes strong and a force pushing the abdomen is generated. Therefore, the effect of abutting the abdomen with the protrusion 500 can be reduced.

3 is a cross-sectional view of the protrusion 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The protrusions 500 further include a plurality of fine protrusions 501 formed as a tourmaline on the surface exposed to the outside. The tourmaline component is a mineral belonging to the hexagonal system having crystal structure like crystal and is also called tourmaline. The tourmaline absorbs the heat energy that is always emitted from the body with the characteristic of emitting far infrared ray and negative ion, and it converts it into far infrared ray and negative ion and returns it to the body again. Far infrared rays warm the somatic cells, help the blood circulation, activate the metabolism, and produce the warm effect. Tourmaline is also known to be promoted by friction or pressure, so if it is additionally formed in the protrusions, it is possible to continuously apply friction and pressure to the tourmaline to improve the effect. Also, it is possible to increase the surface area of tourmaline by forming fine protrusions 501 without containing a tourmaline component in the protrusions 500 themselves, thereby improving the tourmaline effect.

Also, the fine protrusions 501 are formed in a conical shape having a blunt end. Therefore, it is possible to provide stimulation by further subdividing the range in which the projection is provided and the pressure is desired to be applied.

According to the present invention, capsaicin is added to the hot gel 300 to transmit heat to the skin of the user, thereby promoting the decomposition of adipocytes of the user, thereby providing a diet effect. , Anti-oxidizing substances such as tocopherol and tocotrienol are added to the hot gel 300 to prevent the skin of the user from being aged. The hot gel 300 is divided into a hot zone and an anti-aging zone, Thereby selectively providing a warm or skin anti-aging effect to the area.

In addition, according to the present invention, the protuberance 500 formed on the film 100 can pressurize the abdominal hemisphere by the up and down movement of the abdomen caused by the user's breathing, thereby obtaining a hypo pressure effect. In addition, fine protrusions may be formed in the protrusions 500, and tourmaline components may be included in the fine protrusions to provide far infrared rays and anion effects to the abdomen of the user along with acupressure effect.

The foregoing embodiments are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing detailed description. It is intended that all changes and modifications that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims, as well as all equivalents thereof, be within the scope of the present invention.
