Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides pain relief by applying magnetic lines of force to the human body.
This invention relates to a magnetic therapy device that eliminates physical discomfort such as numbness and heaviness, or is useful for improving health.

(Prior art, problem to be solved by the invention) It is well known that magnetism has an effect on the human body and has the effect of alleviating discomfort such as stiffness and pain and promoting health. Shi7 magnetic necklace, TNki MdtQ, (
Many magnetic treatment devices such as a-manotress, magnetic band magrain, and magnetic grain with adhesive hunt have been commercially available and in use.

On the other hand, magnetic particles with adhesive bands, which have been widely used recently, can apply magnetic field lines directly to the affected area, no matter what part of the body it is, but they do not affect the skin. Since the magnetic poles that are in contact are limited to the negative pole (mostly the north pole), it is not possible to create a strong magnetic field in the affected area, and the lines of force acting on the affected area are extremely large.

Therefore, when using magnets for magnetic therapy, various treatment methods have been proposed, but conventionally a single magnet with a pair of N and S poles has been used. The simplest usage is the single
This is a treatment method in which the north pole of a magnet is placed on the skin surface of the affected area and fixed with adhesive, etc.

However, as various magnetic therapy methods using magnets have been tried, treatments such as applying the north pole of a single magnet to the affected area and then applying the south pole of another single magnet adjacent to it have also been found to be effective. It is becoming more and more common. The inventors of the present invention previously discovered in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-215210 that it is very effective for treatment if a pair of strong magnetic forces with a large contact area that contact the affected area are used as a pair, and they developed a new magnetic therapy device. After proposing this idea, he discovered that using a magnet with multiple poles on the N, 8 sides on the contact surface would be even more effective when using tB alone or in combination, so he applied for a patent under Japanese Patent Application No. 61-259970. .

As a result of further studies, the inventors of the present invention found that if the magnetic pole surface that contacts the human body (hereinafter referred to as the contact surface) is configured to form a curved surface, the effect of magnetic therapy will be further enhanced. We learned that it can be done effectively and arrived at the present invention.

The contact surfaces of the conventional magnetic therapy device are all flat,
There are still no known structures that have a curved surface.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A new type of magnetic therapy device provided by the present invention is characterized in that the surface that comes into contact with the human body is wide and has a concave or convex curved surface.

The affected parts of the human body that are the targets of magnetic therapy all have curved surfaces and do not have flat parts 1.1. For example, the shoulders, arms, hips, and neck have convex surfaces, while the soles of the feet, armpits, and back of the knees have concave surfaces. The object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic therapy device having a curved surface that fits over a wide range of affected areas, and to further increase the therapeutic effect of magnetic lines of force. That is, by applying a concave surface to a convex surface of the human body and a convex surface to a concave surface, the lines of magnetic force can be applied evenly to the entire affected area compared to conventional flat surfaces, so that the -layer effect is increased. It is possible to achieve significant therapeutic effects.

There are conventional ones that use dust particles, and there are also ones that have a plurality of protrusions on the abutting surface, which the present inventors proposed earlier in Japanese Patent Application No. 62-15009, and strictly speaking, these are not flat, but In the former case, the contact area of the magnetic poles with the body is extremely small, and therefore the effect of magnetic lines of force is weak.

The latter is a wide magnet as a whole, but the protruding magnetic pole 414 is usually about 1 to 2 mm in diameter, so this is aimed at stimulating the acupuncture points.
Both fit uniformly over a wide range of affected areas according to the present invention,
This is a different effect from applying magnetic lines of force.

The magnetic therapy device of the present invention needs to have a wide contact surface, at least 1 c+f1 or more, and the appropriate size is usually 1 c+f or more and less than 200 cff1, preferably 2c+f or more and less than 100 cIIY. If the area is small, the effect of the magnetic lines of force on the human body is weak and the treatment takes time, and if the area is too large, the effect is strong. If such a head-shaped treatment device is manufactured, it is thought that the therapeutic effect will be remarkable, but it is difficult to manufacture and handle, so it is not preferable, and it is usually preferable to use a device with a diameter of less than 100c+f1.

There are no particular restrictions on the type of magnet used in the present invention.
- Ferrite magnets, alnico magnets, rare earth magnets, and plastic magnets using these magnets, which are widely used on the market, can be used, but rare earth magnets have a particularly strong magnetic force, so they have the advantage of shortening treatment time. Especially rare earths
CO-based and rare earth-Fe-13 based rare earth magnets can be advantageously used.

The manufacturing method for magnets that naturally form curved surfaces is particularly important in III.
! The alloy is not limited in any way, and it is sufficient to mold and magnetize a conventionally commonly used alloy in the steps of pulverization, molding in a magnetic field, compression, and sintering so as to obtain a desired curved surface during molding.

Of course, the magnetic therapy device of the present invention can be used as long as the abutting surface is a curved surface and the opposite side can be flat. If it is made convex, it is convenient because it can come into contact with either the concave or convex surface of the human body. For convex fins, you can not only apply the fins to the concave surface of the affected area, but also follow the convex surface or flat surface and press the shoulders, back, waist, etc., to obtain the same effect as sweating oil or massaging, so the effect of magnetic lines of force Together with this, the therapeutic effect can be further enhanced. In this sense, if the surface of the shoulder tap or automatic massaging device that comes into contact with the human body is made of the magnet of the present invention, the same synergistic effect as described above can be obtained. In particular, it is preferable to use a plus-senk magnet using a rare earth magnet or a rubber magnet because the feel is uneven.

The magnetic therapy device of the present invention can be used alone; for example, when a concave device is used to treat affected areas such as shoulders and lower back, it must be supported by hand each time, unlike conventional flat devices. There is no need to fix it with an adhesive pan 1, etc., and it can be sufficiently fixed during the treatment period simply by placing it on the affected area.

In addition, in the case of necks, arms, legs, etc., if you use two pieces of the same shape as a pair, with opposite magnetic poles facing each other, the two ends will touch and attract each other, and even if you move it a little, it will not come off. Depending on the size of the magnetic flux and the magnetic flux density, the two ends can be attracted and fixed to each other even if they do not contact each other. Furthermore, if the dimensions are insufficient, if a jig made of magnetically permeable material is used, it will exhibit the same effect as if both ends were brought into contact even when the magnetic flux density is low, and will not come off. Since 1500 Gauss or more is desirable for porcelain treatment, by appropriately selecting the size (thickness) of the magnet and the size of the contact surface, it is possible to self-hold when used as a pair. In this way, it is convenient because you can easily receive treatment at home while working.

In addition, as previously proposed by the inventors in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-259970, the N and S poles of a plurality of magnets are placed on the contact surface.
It can also be configured to have a wide contact surface by arranging the poles alternately. In this way, not only is the contact surface wider, but compared to the case where only one magnet is used, multiple magnetic circuits are constructed, and the action of magnetic lines of force into the body through the contact surface is stronger. As a result, superior therapeutic effects can be obtained. Furthermore, if they are used as a pair, with the opposite magnetic poles facing each other across the affected area, it is thought that a great therapeutic effect that could not have been predicted in the past can be obtained.

In the same sense, if a plurality of magnetic therapy devices of the present invention are combined and assembled, even more excellent therapeutic effects can be obtained.

The present inventors proposed a composite magnet in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-282800 and Japanese Patent Application No. 62-175764, in which 4 or a prime number of magnets are used.

By configuring the three sides in alternating rows, it exerts its own unique therapeutic effect, and when multiple pieces are combined in a three-dimensional direction as a unit magnet, handling such as assembly, disassembly, and removal is easy. We have invented a composite magnet that can be flexibly applied to the affected area. The present invention is also applied to the magnetic therapy device of the present invention, and a composite magnet made by combining a prime number of solid unit magnets such as 4, 2, 3, or 5 is used as it is for treatment, or this composite magnet is used as is. A composite magnet constructed by combining a plurality of magnets into one unit can be used.

In this case, it is usually important to make the radius of curvature of the curved surfaces the same, and when they are arranged on the contact surface, they do not necessarily have to be the same, and a certain effect can be obtained, but when they are overlapped, they must be the same. Does not come in close contact with

By using such a composite magnet, it is possible to obtain a magnetic therapy device that has excellent therapeutic effects and is easy to assemble and disassemble. Of course, in the case of a combination of four pieces, the adhesion force will definitely work on any surface and the pieces can be attached and detached freely, but in the case of a prime number of pieces, it is necessary to make them distinguishable by color or other method.

Since the magnetic therapy device of the present invention has a concave or convex contact surface that touches the affected area of the human body, the lines of magnetic force can be applied evenly over a wide area of the affected area, resulting in excellent therapeutic effects. Combining multiple pieces of this using the above method has even better therapeutic effects and is easy to handle, allowing you to adjust the magnetic strength and area of the contact surface as needed. It is extremely useful for magnetic therapy because it can wait for the self-retention property that cannot be achieved by other methods.

When using the magnetic therapy device of the present invention, it is of course possible to use the magnet as it is, but because it comes into contact with the human body and rare earth magnets are fragile, a protective member is usually used to protect the surface. In addition, when a plurality of magnets are combined and used as a composite magnet, they are combined and integrated by a commonly known method or a method described in the invention previously filed by the present applicant. This includes fixing with adhesives, covering with thin plates of non-magnetically permeable materials such as stainless steel, aluminum and its alloys, copper and copper alloys, and protecting materials such as plastic, rubber, leather, paper, and woven fabrics. A method of coating and fixing the material as a member can be advantageously used.

Specific examples of plastics include polyethylene, polypropylene, vinyl chloride resin, polyester, polyamide, acrylic resin, polycarbonate, polyurethane,
Examples of the rubber include natural rubber and synthetic rubber such as butadiene-styrene rubber, butyl rubber, chloroprene rubber, and silicone rubber.

To make protection and handling of the magnet advantageous when using a single magnet with a curved surface, or when constructing a composite magnet with alternating N and S poles by split magnetization of a single magnet. Similarly, protective members are used.

The protective member can be used in a variety of ways. The simplest way to use a magnetically non-permeable material is to coat the entire magnet. The coating strengthens the magnet and prevents it from being damaged during handling, and when used for magnetic therapy, it can have the effect of softening the contact with the skin during treatment and making treatment operations easier. can. Various coating methods can be used as the coating method. In addition to painting with ordinary liquid paints, when using plastics as a protective material, it is advantageous to use the fluidized dipping method using powder to paint beautifully.At the same time, since it has a certain thickness, it has great protection properties. It becomes a piece that has fallen apart as a member.

It is also possible to paint using metal plating or composite plating. Non-magnetic permeable material stainless steel, aluminum
1. When coating magnets with metals such as aluminum alloys, copper, and copper alloys, plastics, leather, paper, cloth, etc., bond foils, thin plates, etc. of the materials with adhesive, or
It is also possible to make a casing or bag of an appropriate shape and insert a magnet into it. When two magnets are stacked, it is desirable to configure the structure so that the contact surface is as smooth as possible.
