Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an acupressure device, and more particularly to an acupressure device for pressing an acupoint of a human body.

[0002]

[Prior art and problems]

 According to Oriental thought, there are more than a thousand acupuncture points in the human body, and each one is connected to internal organs and tissues, and these acupoints are used as points for disease treatment. There is. Treatments such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and acupressure are all performed by applying stimulation to these acupuncture points. In fact, acupressure is effective in relieving stiffness in the neck and shoulders and fatigue in the arms and legs. Without having to think about the acupuncture points in oriental medicine, it is easy for even an amateur to do it by simple acupressure that considers the points where you feel comfortable when you push the shoulders, arms, etc. as acupoints. Acupressure is literally pressing the acupuncture point with the pad of the finger, so gently press the prescribed point with the finger pad, moderately rubbing or squeezing it to relieve muscle stiffness and tension. It's good.

When acupressure is applied to another person, it is possible to apply pressure by applying one's own weight, so it is easy to apply force and a sufficient acupressure effect can be provided. However, when applying acupressure to oneself, since it is necessary to use only the force of the fingertip, it is not possible to apply the force well depending on the place of pressing, and the finger becomes tired before the acupressure effect is obtained.

[0006] Therefore, if the tip portion of a familiar thin rod-like body having a round tip portion such as chopsticks or a pen is pressed without directly pushing it with the finger, it is possible to push more strongly than pushing with only the fingertip. Can be increased. However, it is difficult to press the acupuncture points accurately with the tips of these thin rod-shaped bodies, and it takes a long time to perform the positioning, so that a satisfactory finger-pressure effect cannot be obtained.

The present invention provides a finger pressing tool for pressing acupoints, which enables strong and accurate pressing of the acupuncture points when the user presses a predetermined acupoint by himself or herself without the fingers and hands becoming tired. Is an issue.

[0006]

[Technical means]

 The technical means of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problem is to provide a "a substantially spherical head (1) of a size that can be gripped, and a handle (1) extending below the head (1). 11) and a plurality of acupressure shafts (10) and (10) connected below the handle portion (11) ”.

[0007]

[Action]

 The above technical means act as follows. By gripping the head (1) from above, the handle part (11) and a plurality of acupressure shafts (10) (10) continuous with the handle part (11) project from the palm side of the gripped state. Apply the tip of this acupressure axis (10) (10) to a predetermined place where you feel pain when you feel stiffness and push it on your shoulders, arms, etc., while holding the head (1), The acupressure shafts (10) (10) are pressed against the predetermined locations. Then, the tip portions of the acupressure shafts (10) (10) simultaneously press a plurality of places within a predetermined range where stiffness and pain are felt in the body.

[0008]

【effect】

 When the tip of the acupressure shaft (10) (10) is pressed against a predetermined part of the body, the acupressure device can be supported with the head (1) grasped, so that the acupressure shaft (10) (10) The tip of the can be pressed against one's own body with the force of the hand or arm on the side supporting the acupressure device. Therefore, compared with the case of pressing with only the force of the fingertip, it is possible to press a predetermined position where the user feels his / her stiffness with a strong pressing force without feeling fatigue.

[0009] Furthermore, a predetermined portion where stiffness or pain is felt on the shoulder or arm, or a predetermined portion where a comfortable pain is felt by pushing is simultaneously pressed by the tip of the acupressure shaft (10) (10) at several places. Therefore, one of the acupressure shafts (10) and (10) presses the appropriate acupoint, and the acupressure tool can be easily positioned on the body.

【Example】

 Next, the embodiments of the present invention described above will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a head (1) having an upper lid (1a) and a lower lid (1b) fitted to each other, and a lower portion from the lower end of the lower lid (1b) downward. A handle portion (11) which is extended and has a wide portion (12) formed in the lower portion, and three acupressure shafts (10) and (10) which extend downward from the wide portion and are formed in a fork shape. The continuous body extending from the upper lid (1a) and the lower lid (1b) to the acupressure shafts (10) and (10) is integrally molded of synthetic resin.

The head portion (1) is a substantially spherical body having a horizontal diameter of 38 mm and a vertical diameter of 32 mm, and the handle portion (11) is a wide portion having a horizontal width of 30 mm from a bar-shaped upper region having a diameter of 12 m and a length of 20 mm. It is formed in a shape that overhangs (12). The three acupressure shafts (10) and (10) extending downward from the lower end of the wide portion (12) are rod-shaped bodies each having a diameter of 7 mm and a length of 23 mm, and are slightly tapered toward the front end. In addition, the tip portion is formed in an arc shape in cross section. The acupressure shafts 10 and 10 are arranged side by side in a horizontal line as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, the acupressure device is grasped in such a manner that the entire head (1) is grasped from above, and the tip end portion of the acupressure shaft (10) (10) protruding downward is attached to the other side. Push on your hands, arms, shoulders, etc. to a certain area of your body where you feel comfortable pain, and apply force to the hand that supports the head (1) as it is and gently press it. As a result, the three points on the pressed portion (A) are simultaneously pressed, as shown in FIG. With this structure, three acupressure shafts (10, 10) are arranged side by side, which is effective for acupressure of acupuncture points in a relatively wide pressing range such as a shoulder or an arm.

As this kind of acupressure device, as shown in FIG. 4, two acupressure shafts (10) (10) may be provided, and in this device, the range of pressing at a time is Since it is narrower than that provided with three acupressure axes (10), (10), it is effective for acupressure on the acupuncture point between the two bones of the thumb and the index finger and between the fingers. As the accommodating container (3) for accommodating the acupressure device of the above-described embodiment when not in use, ones shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 can be adopted, and the accommodating container (3) formed therein If the acupressure shafts (10) and (10) are inserted into the accommodation holes (30) (30) opened upward in a pair, the acupressure tool can be stood up and accommodated. The size of the accommodation holes (30) (30) is such that the three acupressure shafts (10) (10) or the two acupressure shafts (10) (10) are accommodated in a substantially fitted state. It should be set to a large size.

Then, when the acupressure shafts (10) and (10) are inserted into the accommodating container (3), the acupressure shafts (10) and (10) are accommodated in a package (31) as shown by a chain double-dashed line in FIGS. 5 and 6. , It can be distributed as it is. Further, when a plurality of protrusions (2) (2) are formed on the top of the head (1) as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 3, the tip of the acupressure shafts (10) (10) are formed. At the same time when a predetermined acupoint is pressed with, the acupoint on the palm on the side gripping the head (1) is stimulated, and a further acupressure effect is obtained.
