The low frequency massage glove 1000 may include a glove body 100 and 200 having an external shape of a glove and a low frequency application device 300 electrically connected to the glove body 100 and 200 .

The glove body 100 or 200 may accommodate any one of the user's right hand or left hand. 1 shows the glove body 100 and 200 that can be worn on the right hand, but this is only an example, and the features and functions of the present invention can be equally applied to the glove body that can be used for the left hand.

The low-frequency application device 300 is an example of a device for applying a low-frequency electric pulse for EMS. If it is possible to apply a low-frequency electrical pulse to the armor body (100, 200) may be provided in another way.

EMS is not only for training and treatment purposes, but recently it has also been used for cosmetic purposes. In the medical world, EMS has been used for therapeutic purposes to prevent muscle atrophy caused by not using muscles in people with injuries to bones, joints, and muscles.

In addition, the frequency of the pulse-shaped current applied through the low-frequency applying device 300 uses a low frequency (low frequency). A low frequency generally means 1 Hz (hertz) or more and 1000 Hz (hertz). Preferably, it may mean a frequency of 1 Hz (hertz) or more and 200 Hz (hertz).

For example, in the case of massage, 8 Hz (hertz), and in the case of aerobic exercise, 30 Hz (hertz) or 40 Hz (hertz) may be frequently used. For strength training, 60 Hz (Hertz) or 70 Hz (Hertz) may be used. In addition, as another example of use, between 100 Hz (Hertz) and 200 Hz (Hertz), there is an effect of relaxing the muscles, and at 100 Hz (Hertz), it is known that there is an effect of dilating blood vessels by catching chronic pain. .

In addition, the low-frequency application device 300 may apply a low-frequency electric pulse to the user's body through the glove body 100 or 200 for a preset application time or according to a preset pulse width. The application time and the pulse width may vary depending on the purpose of use, the frequency of use, and the area of use.

That is, the low-frequency massage glove is equipped with an EMS function on the glove, so that when the user touches the low-frequency applying device 300 , the user's body can be directly stimulated. In particular, the present invention implements the EMS function with only one glove by putting both the positive and negative electrodes in one glove of the right or left hand, without using both gloves.

The glove body 100, 200 includes an opening 105 on one side in the form of a general glove, so that the glove body 100, 200 can be worn by inserting a hand through the opening 105.

In addition, the low-frequency application device 300 may be provided in a form that can be attached to the glove body (100, 200) after charging by mounting a battery. This will be described later with reference to FIG. 4 .

Hereinafter, the glove body 100 is described based on the right hand, but this is only an example, and only the position of the fingers is reversed in the glove body for the left hand, and other structures and functions may be equally applied.

In order to flow the current applied through the low frequency application device 300 to the user's body through the hand, the glove body 100 should be made of a conductive material, particularly, a conductive fiber. In addition, in order to allow the user to send current even if the user wears the low-frequency massage glove 1000 on only one hand of the right or left hand, the positive (+) and negative (-) are located on one hand, but are electrically insulated from each other. there will be

The first conductive part 141 may be made of a conductive material. In general, gloves may be manufactured by using a fabric in which fibers are woven or by knitting fibers. The first conductive part 141 may be formed integrally with the glove body 100 , rather than being attached to a general glove in the form of an electrode pad. For this purpose, the fiber itself to weave or knit the glove body 100 must have conductivity.

For example, the conductive material may include a silver fiber or copper fiber having conductivity. Alternatively, the conductive material is _{a conductive fiber made by reacting copper sulfate (CuSO 4} ) with an acrylic fiber to have conductivity, or a conductive fiber in which carbon black, which is a conductive material, is mixed in the fiber, or conductive fiber made to have conductivity by depositing a metal on the surface of the fiber may include.

In order to prevent this, the conductive material may be formed by mixing conductive fibers with yarns having a high moisture absorption rate, such as cotton, nylon, and polyester.

In addition, when silver or copper is used as the conductive fiber, additional effects such as bacterial suppression and odor removal can be obtained.

That is, the tunnel weaving unit is knitted so that a valley is formed in the yarn with a predetermined width between each connection terminal and the heart rate sensor 410 to form a tunnel-type valley.

The heart rate measured by the heart rate sensor 410 may be displayed to the user through the display unit 315 in real time.

Although an example is shown in which the heart rate sensor 410 is accommodated in the middle accommodating part 115 , it may be located in the detection accommodating part 113 .

On the other hand, the low-frequency massage glove 1000 is positioned between the thumb receiving part 111 and the index receiving part 113 inside the hand body part 130 to surround the back of the user's hand and a part of the palm, and both ends are It may further include a contraction portion 450 in the form of a strip toward the user's wrist.

The constriction portion 450 is made of a material called an electroactive polymer (electroactive polymer), and when electricity is applied, the surface in contact with the user's hand of the contraction portion may be bent more than the surface in contact with the glove body. Therefore, the contraction part 450 can bring about an effect of pressing the blood, specifically, the hapgok blood, located between the thumb bone and the index finger of the hand body part 130 .

The second conductive part 142 is spaced apart from the second connection terminal 182 on the second connection part 139 to provide a second sub connection terminal 1821 capable of supplying power to the constriction part 450 . may include more.
