It is characterized by being formed in a size corresponding to the interval between one protruding piece. According to the structure of (2), since the dimension of the short direction of a metal plate becomes substantially equal in all the area | regions, the dispersion | variation in the electrical resistance not only in a long direction but a short direction can be suppressed. Thereby, better electrical stimulation can be provided.

(6) In the above configurations (1) to (5), the metal plate has a protruding portion extending in the thickness direction of the metal plate, and the electrode terminal can be fixed to the protruding portion.
According to the present invention, variations in current density can be suppressed in a band-shaped electrical stimulation wearing device that applies electrical stimulation to a human body.
(First embodiment)
With reference to the drawings, an electrical stimulation wearing device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a front view of a wearing device for electrical stimulation. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a part of a metal plate in which a portion surrounded by a dotted line in FIG. 1 is enlarged. FIG. 3 is a rear view of the electrical stimulation wearing device. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the electrical stimulation wearing tool of FIG. 1 taken along the line AA. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of an encircled region in FIG.
Referring to these drawings, the electrical stimulation wearing device 1 extends in a band shape, and includes a metal plate 10, a holding layer 20, and a nonwoven fabric sheet 30. In addition, the nonwoven fabric sheet 30 is illustrated only in FIG. 5 and is omitted in other drawings. With reference to FIG. 2, the metal plate 10 includes a long main body portion 11, a plurality of first protruding piece portions 12, and a plurality of second protruding piece portions 13. The long main body 11 extends in the longitudinal direction of the electrical stimulation wearing device 1 (hereinafter referred to as the long direction) and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape. In addition, the area | region between the dashed-dotted lines among the metal plates 10 is equivalent to the elongate main-body part 11. FIG.
The 1st protrusion piece part 12 and the 2nd protrusion piece part 13 are formed alternately. In other words, the 1st protrusion piece part 12 and the 2nd protrusion piece part 13 are arrange | positioned at zigzag form, and the 2nd protrusion piece part 13 is in the position corresponding to the clearance gap between the 1st protrusion piece parts 12 located in a line with the said elongate direction. The first protruding piece 12 is formed at a position corresponding to the gap between the second protruding pieces 13 arranged in the longitudinal direction.
Here, when the dimension of the first protruding piece 12 in the longitudinal direction is X1, and the gap of the second protruding piece 13 aligned in the longitudinal direction is Y0, the dimension X1 and the gap Y0 are formed to be substantially equal. Is preferred. Further, when the dimension of the second projecting piece 13 in the longitudinal direction is Y1, and the gap of the first projecting piece 12 aligned in the longitudinal direction is X0, the dimension Y1 and the gap X0 are formed substantially equal. Is preferred. That is, it is preferable that the metal plate 10 is formed so that dimensions in a direction orthogonal to the long direction (hereinafter referred to as the short direction) are substantially equal in all regions.
An R-shaped portion 12 a is formed at a location where the long main body portion 11 and the first protruding piece portion 12 are connected. An R-shaped portion 13 a is formed at a location where the long main body portion 11 and the second protruding piece portion 13 are connected. By forming these R-shaped portions 12a and 13a, the rigidity of the metal plate 10 can be increased. Titanium can be used for the metal plate 10.
Referring to FIG. 5, a screw portion (corresponding to a protruding portion) 14 having a screw groove on the outer peripheral surface is formed at substantially the center in the longitudinal direction of the metal plate 10. The screw portion 14 extends in the plate thickness direction of the metal plate 10, and the electrode terminal 15 is fastened. When the electrode terminal 15 is fastened to the screw portion 14, the metal plate 10 and the electrode terminal 15 become conductive. Note that the screw portion 14 may be a protruding portion having no thread groove. In this case, the protruding portion and the electrode terminal 15 can be fixed using caulking means.
Here, the metal plate 10, the screw portion 14, and the electrode terminal 15 can be assembled in advance as a unit product. The metal plate 10 can be held by the holding layer 20 by performing insert molding in which a resin as a base material of the holding layer 20 is injected while the unit product is set in a mold. The electrode terminal 15 protrudes from the holding layer 20. However, the holding layer 20 can be made of non-conductive rubber. In this case, the metal plate 10 can be held by forming a concave housing portion for housing the metal plate 10 in the holding layer 20 and fixing the metal plate 10 housed in the concave housing portion with an adhesive. .
Referring to FIG. 5, the nonwoven fabric sheet 30 is disposed at a position facing the holding layer 20 with the metal plate 10 interposed therebetween. With reference to FIG.1 and FIG.3, the pinching part 50 is provided in the position which pinches the four corners of the nonwoven fabric sheet 30, the fixed position which pinches and fixes the nonwoven fabric sheet 30, and pinching the nonwoven fabric sheet 50 It is possible to operate between non-fixed positions that allow replacement without In the wearing state of the electrical stimulation wearing device 1, the nonwoven fabric sheet 30 contacts the human body.
A small surface fastener 60 is provided on one surface of the holding layer 20 (see FIG. 1), and a large surface fastener 70 is provided on the other surface of the holding layer 20 (see FIG. 3). By adjusting the attachment / detachment position of the small surface fastener 60 with respect to the large surface fastener 70, the electrical stimulation attachment device 1 can be attached to a desired stimulation site.
Next, how to use the electrical stimulation wearing device 1 will be described. The electrical stimulation wearing device 1 of the present embodiment is used in pairs of a positive electrode type and a negative electrode type. The positive-type electrical stimulation wearing device 1 is attached to a stimulation site, the negative-type electrical stimulation wearing device 1 is attached to another stimulation site, and an electrical signal is applied to each electrode terminal 15 of these electrical stimulation wearing devices 1. Electrical stimulation can be applied by connecting a cord extending from an output device (not shown). The stimulation site may be, for example, an ankle, above the knee, or waist. Further, the stimulation site may be a plurality of locations. For example, it is possible to stimulate the left and right ankles and the left and right knees using the four electrical stimulation wearing devices 1. Moreover, you may mount | wear each with a waist | hip | lumbar part, a knee top, and an ankle using the three mounting devices 1 for electrical stimulation. In this case, the polarity of the electrical stimulation wearing device 1 mounted on the knee can be the positive polarity, and the polarity of the electrical stimulation mounting device 1 mounted on the waist and ankle can be the negative polarity.
Here, since the metal plate 10 of this embodiment is configured in a staggered shape in which the first protruding piece portions 12 and the second protruding piece portions 13 are alternately formed, the flexibility of the electrical stimulation wearing device 1 is increased. be able to. Thereby, the mounting device 1 for electrical stimulation can be bent and it can be made to adhere | attach easily on a desired stimulation site | part.
When the current path is narrowed by forming the metal plates 10 in a zigzag shape, the electrical resistance may increase and heat may be generated. Therefore, the metal plate 10 as a conductive plate is usually formed in a flat plate shape. However, in the case of EMS, since the output is low, even if the metal plates 10 are formed in a staggered pattern, heat generation that causes discomfort to the user does not occur. That is, the present invention has been created based on the knowledge that cannot be easily conceived from the technical common sense that the metal plates 10 are formed in a staggered pattern.
Further, by using the metal plate 10 extending in a strip shape instead of the rubber electrode, variation in electric resistance in the longitudinal direction is suppressed. Thereby, the electrical stimulation in the elongate direction is stabilized and a favorable electrical stimulation can be provided.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, by forming the dimension X1 and the gap Y0 substantially equal and the dimension Y1 and the gap X0 substantially equal, the dimension in the short direction of the metal plate 10 becomes substantially equal in all regions. Variations in electrical resistance not only in the long direction but also in the short direction can be suppressed. Thereby, better electrical stimulation can be provided.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the metal plate 10 is punched by shifting the phase of the projections and depressions, so that the loss of the metal material can be eliminated and the cost can be reduced.
Moreover, since the hydrophilic film is formed by disposing the nonwoven fabric sheet 30 on the surface that comes into contact with the human body, the stimulation sensation can be softened. By attaching the nonwoven fabric sheet 30 to the pinching part 50 so as to be detachable, the nonwoven fabric sheet 30 can be easily replaced, and the hygiene aspect can be improved.
