Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to the improvement of health promotion tools that utilize the so-called acupressure effect, such as foot health devices and lying mats. Of course, the invention relates to a health promotion tool that can be commonly used, for example, for sitting on a seat.

(Conventional technology) For a long time, people have applied pressure to certain areas of the human body in order to improve blood circulation and normalize abnormal autonomic nervous excitement, thereby relieving fatigue and promoting health. Health promotion tools that apply the so-called acupressure effect are well known, and various foot health devices, lying mats, massage devices, etc. have been provided for this purpose.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, as mentioned above, the conventional health promoting devices mentioned above, for example, the foot-operated health device, are only used for stepping, and are not suitable for other types of use such as lying down. Similarly, lying mats were used only for lying down, and were unsuitable for other uses such as foot stepping. Furthermore, because of this limited use, suitable tools that can be conveniently and easily used, for example, for sitting, have not generally been provided.

In other words, these conventional health-promoting devices have limited uses and cannot be used for other purposes, and there are also no devices available that can be used conveniently and easily for sitting, etc. It had some drawbacks and problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a health promotion tool that can be commonly used for many purposes such as stepping, lying down, or sitting on a seat, and is convenient to handle. In order to achieve this purpose, the health promotion tool of the present invention includes a pressure body A for acupressure effect, which has at least a spherical top portion 1b.
and a holding board B to which each pressing body A for acupressure effect is attached, and the pressing body A for acupressure effect and this holding board B are removably fitted, and the holding board B is attached to each one. The substrates B, B... are configured such that the side edges 3c, 3c... of the holding substrates are butted against each other, and are detachably connected to each other with a strip c. Therefore, by appropriately selecting the number of press body holding substrates B to be connected and, if necessary, appropriately selecting the shape and material of the press body A, it is possible to easily form health promotion tools for various uses. This is what I did.

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In Figures 1, 2, and 3, the health promotion tool is a pressing body A for acupressure effect that presses a local area of the human body.
, a holding board B that removably holds the pressing bodies A one by one, and a strip-shaped piece that removably connects the boards B, B... to each other with their side edges 3c, 3c... in a butting shape. It is composed of C. The pressing body A is a flat spherical body having a cut bottom 1a and a spherical top 1b.
It extends from a toward the top 1b, has a fitting recess 2 whose upper edge is enlarged in diameter 2a, and whose upper surface 2b is formed along the surface of the top 1b, and is molded from a synthetic resin material or the like. The holding substrate B is a square plate, and has a pressing body fitting recess 2 in the center of the plate surface 3a.
It has a hollow cylindrical fitting convex part 4 whose upper end has a reduced diameter 4a, which can be freely fitted into the body, and whose axis is located on the orthogonal central axes X-X and Y-Y of the back surface 3b of the plate. It has four wide grooves 5 extending from the sides to the center with the center at the center, and through-connecting holes 6 that penetrate into the hollow parts of the fitting convex parts 4 in the grooves 5, respectively. It is integrally molded. The strip C is a rectangular plate that is attached to the groove 5 of the holding board B, and has a connecting plate on the top of the surface 7a with an expanding locking part 8a that is inserted into the connecting hole 6. It has a mounting protrusion 8, and as shown in detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, the holding substrates B and B
In the connected state, the longitudinal direction L of the strip C has a distance of △L, △L between the edge of the groove 5, and a distance △L' between the side edges 3c, 3c of the substrate, respectively. The width direction dimension W is smaller than the groove part dimension W' and the dimensions are made to form distances △W and △W, respectively, between the groove part 5 and the edge of the groove part 5. The shape of the attachment protrusion 8 is such that gaps b and b are formed in the radial direction between it and the connecting hole 6, and a gap a is formed on the lower surface of the expansion locking part 8a, and the attachment protrusion 8 is made of a soft material. It is integrally formed from synthetic resin.

In addition, in the example, the pressing body A, the holding substrate B,
Each of the strips C is merely an example of a preferred embodiment; for example, the top portion 1b of the pressing body A may have a swollen center portion depending on the application, and the planar shape of the holding substrate B may be may be formed not only in a rectangular shape but also in a triangular or hexagonal shape, and the fitting recess 2 and the protrusion 4 may be provided with female and male threads for screwing, respectively, or the protrusion 4 may have a protruding end. A plurality of locking posts each having claws that engage with the enlarged diameter portion 2a of the concave portion may be erected and formed on the circumference, and the strip C may be attached to the substrate 2 without providing the groove portion 5. It is also possible.

However, such health promotion tools are formed into shapes and sizes according to their respective uses, such as for stepping on, lying down, and sitting, but in forming them, First, the holding substrates B are arranged with their back surfaces 3b facing upward, and then the adjacent substrates B are sequentially connected to each other by the strip C through the connecting holes 6 and the connecting protrusions 8, respectively. In this case, since the protrusion 8 is made of a soft material, the expanded locking portion 8a is easily inserted into the hole 6 and is securely locked by the jaw portion of the locking portion 8a. Then, in this way, the desired shape,
Turn the board B matte formed to the right size inside out,
One pressing member 1 is fitted onto each substrate B through the fitting convex portion 4 and the recessed portion 2.
In this case, since the fitting convex part 4 is provided with the reduced diameter part 4a, the pressing body 1 can be easily fitted and secured.

In this way, the health promotion tool 9 as shown in FIG. 4 can be simply and easily formed.

Note that in forming the substrate B mat, first, the pressing bodies A are inserted and attached to the holding substrate B, and then the holding substrates B and B are formed.
...Of course, it is also possible to sequentially connect the strips C to each other. Further, the shape of the substrate B mat is not limited to a rectangular shape, and it goes without saying that it can be formed freely to match the shape of the floor surface, such as a narrow or irregular floor surface. Note that the board B mat connected in this manner is disassembled by releasing the engagement between the hole 6 and the protrusion 8, but in this case, the protrusion 8 is made of a soft material as described above. Therefore, the engagement of the locking portion 8a can be easily released by applying an appropriate amount of tension.

As mentioned above, the shape and size of the substrate B mat, that is, the health promotion tool 9 formed in this way can be freely set, and if necessary, the shape and material of the pressing body A can also be changed. It can be set as appropriate, and at the same time, the strip C is made of a soft material and has an appropriate distance ΔL, ΔW or a, b between it and the holding substrate B,
However, since the substrate B mat can be freely adapted to any curved shape and adhered, it can be suitably used not only for stepping, lying down, and seating, but also for a wide variety of uses, such as pillow covers. Moreover, due to the uniform and appropriate acupressure action of the pressing body A, excellent fatigue recovery effects and health promotion effects can be obtained. That is, FIG. 5 shows an example of such a case in which it is used as a seat back. A uniformly presses the back of the human body, producing an excellent acupressure effect. Note that 10 is a hanging tool, and one end thereof is provided with a protrusion (not shown) that is engaged with the board connecting hole 6. Also,
As mentioned above, these health promotion tools are separated into each component and can be easily carried and carried as needed, making them ideal for use when attending a theater or traveling. It is.

As explained above, the health promotion device of the present invention can be used for an extremely wide variety of purposes, and even for portable use, and its pressing body uniformly exerts an appropriate acupressure effect. Therefore, it has excellent usefulness and can provide excellent fatigue recovery effects and health promotion effects that have not been previously available with this type of health promotion tool.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the health promotion device of the present invention includes a pressure body for acupressure effect whose top portion is at least spherical, and a pressure body that can be attached and removed one by one.
