Description

Eye massager {Massage apparatus for eyes}

The present invention relates to a massager for massaging by stimulating and relaxing the eye area, and more particularly, to an eye massager that is detachably provided with a massage function capable of acupressure around the eyes, and is foldable and can be stored in a narrow space.

In general, the eye secures a field of view necessary for human activity, and in order to obtain accurate information, the eye performs a considerable amount of movement inside the eyeball, and in a work or game using a computer or a smartphone, the user is easily fatigued because the screen is viewed for a long time.

As a way to relieve eye strain, there are ways to rest your eyes by sleeping or closing your eyes for a while, or by switching to a natural movement or exercise state, such as walking, to rest your eyes. There is a method of simply massaging the skin, and there is a method of massaging the eyes with an eye massager.

Modern people live very busy lives, and more and more people are using eye massagers as a way to relieve eye fatigue. The eye massager relieves eye fatigue through heat or stimulation to relax the muscles around the eyes or to improve blood circulation.

As an example of the eye massager, there are Patent No. 1586684 document (Prior Document 1) and Patent No. 2034386 document (Prior Document 2).

In Prior Document 1, it is possible to relieve eye fatigue by massaging the eye area and temple, and by supplying heat to the eye, it stimulates the oil glands of the eye to help the formation of an oil layer in the eye, thereby preventing the evaporation of tears. By using an eye patch made of natural cotton fiber that emits far-infrared rays (wet it in water), it can supply sufficient moisture to the eyes, induce antibacterial action and smooth blood circulation, and set the time for heat supply and massage step by step according to the condition of the eyes. An eye massage device that can be used is disclosed.

In Prior Document 2, a massage pad through which compressed air flows in and out so as to massage the eyeballs, and acupressure protrusions connected to and configured with the massage pad are used, and acupoint points around the eyes (Jung Myunghyeol, Chan) good for dry eye syndrome. An eye massage device using compressed air and acupressure projections that inflate the massage pad with compressed air according to the location of the acupressure point to apply acupressure to acupressure points, and also use acupressure projections made of jade has been disclosed. have.

Although the eye massage device of Prior Document 1 has the advantage of stimulating the eye area with heat and supplying moisture to the eye, it is insufficient to stimulate the muscles or blood vessels around the eye by direct mechanical stimulation. There were difficult aspects.

The eye massage device of the prior document 2 is attached to a massage pad having a space in which air is injected and is attached to the massage pad and moving to prevent dry eye syndrome and acupressure by direct acupressure to the acupressure points such as Jeong Myunghyeol, Chanjukhyeol, and Sunhyeol. As a focus on massage for the prevention of dry eye syndrome for users, it was not suitable for use as a massage to relieve general eye fatigue.
