Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow each effective spot of an ear to be stimulated while passing unnoticed even before others by mounting the earphone having each projection at a position thereof opposite to the effective spot of the ear to the ear resulting that the projection strikes on the effective spot of the ear so as to properly stimulate the effective spot of the ear through the delivery of sound vibration when a music or the like is given to the earphone thereby readily stimulating the effective spot of the ear. SOLUTION: The earphone 1 is used while being inserted in an ear hole and a projection 2 is provided to a position of the earphone 1 opposite to the effective spot of the ear. The earphone 1 aims at, e.g. reducing one's weight and has four projections 2 corresponding to the four effective spots of the ear to decrease one's appetite. When the earphone 1 is mounted to the ear, each projection 2 strikes on each effective spot of the ear. When a tape of a music or a language is reproduced, the sound vibration is delivered to each projection 2 to stimulate each effective spot of the ear. That is, each effective spot of the ear is stimulated by having only to mount the earphone 1 to the ear and to listen to a music or the like and the effective spots of the ear are stimulated without regarding the occasions.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an earphone capable of stimulating an ear pot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various vases are gathered in the ear, and by stimulating them, it is possible to restore the autonomic imbalance to normal and bring an obese body weight closer to a healthy body weight. As a slimming method utilizing this, conventionally, a slimming method for suppressing the appetite by stimulating the ear pots for the purpose of weight loss has been known.

[0003]

However, for slimming, it is necessary to continuously stimulate the ear pots for a long period of time, which requires a strong will and is generally not easy to continue. There wasn't. Also, it was difficult to hold the exact position of the pot because I could not see the ear directly. On the other hand, there are cases where specialists stimulate the pot while receiving counseling,
In this case, it was necessary to go to the specialist's place, which was troublesome and the financial burden was great. In other words, it was not possible to easily stimulate the ear pot.
There was also a request from the image of the word "slimming" to stimulate the ear pot without being noticed by others.

An object of the present invention is to provide an earphone which can easily stimulate the ear pot and can stimulate the ear pot without being noticed even in public.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a structure in which a projection is provided at a position facing an ear pot in an earphone that is used by being fitted in a recess of the ear. Therefore, if you put the earphone on your ear,
The protrusion hits the ear pot. When music is played, the vibration of the sound is transmitted to the protrusions and stimulates the ear pots appropriately.

In this case, if the ear pot against which the protrusions face is a pot that is effective for slimming, it is possible to diet by vibrating sound.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The configuration of the present invention will be described below in detail based on the best mode shown in the drawings.

1 and 2 show an embodiment of an earphone to which the present invention is applied. This earphone 1 is shown in FIG.
It is of a type that is used by fitting it into the recess 6a of the ear 6 shown in FIG. 2 and has the protrusion 2 at a position facing the pot of the ear 6. The earphone 1 of the present embodiment is intended for slimming, for example, and has four pots 7 effective for suppressing appetite.
10 to 10 are provided with four protrusions 2. In each drawing, only one of the pair of left and right earphones is shown, but the other not shown has the same configuration.

FIG. 3 shows the positional relationship between the jars 7 to 10 of the ear 6 and the earphone 1. The four crucibles 7 to 10 are arranged along the convex portion 6b in the recess 6a of the ear 6. Of these pots 7 to 10, the protrusions 2 corresponding to the mouth pot 7, esophagus pot 8 and cardia pot 9 are attached to the flat plate portion 3a of the annular body 3 fitted in the earphone body 4 having a substantially hemispherical shape. They are formed side by side. Further, the protrusion 2 corresponding to the remaining stomach pot 10 has an arm 4 extending from the earphone body 4.
It is formed at the tip of a. Each protrusion 2 has a shape and a size that appropriately stimulates each pot 7-10 when the earphone 1 is attached to the ear 6. Each of these protrusions 2 is
For example, it is made of resin and is set to a hardness that does not damage the ears 6.

When the earphone 1 is attached to the ear 6, the protrusions 2 come into contact with the pots 7 to 10 of the ear 6. Then, when a tape such as music or language is played, vibration of sound is transmitted to each protrusion 2 and stimulates each pot 7-10. That is, each pot 7-10 of the ear 6 can be stimulated only by wearing the earphone 1 and listening to music or the like, and the pots 7-10 of the ear 6 can be stimulated regardless of the place. Also, while listening to music, etc.
Since each of the pots 7 to 10 is stimulated, no special effort is required to stimulate the pots. Further, by properly mounting the earphone 1 in the depression 6a of the ear 6, the protrusions 2 can be applied to the pots 7 to 10, and the risk of removing the pot is reduced. Furthermore, when the earphone 1 is attached to the ear 6, the protrusions 2 are hidden behind, so that the vases 7 to 10 can be stimulated without being noticed by the surrounding people.

The ear pot stimulation by the projections 2 of the earphone 1 may be performed while listening to, for example, ordinary music or a language tape, or a tape recording a sound suitable for the pot stimulation may be used. . As a tape on which a sound suitable for stimulating a pot is recorded, for example, a tape capable of stimulating each pot with the same strength about 90 to 100 times a minute is preferable. Also, the ear pot stimulation using the earphone 1 may be performed for a certain length of time during movement such as commuting, or 3 to 20 minutes before meals, when hungry, or when it is desired to eat between meals. You may go for about 5 minutes.

The above-mentioned embodiment is an example of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the earphone 1 described above suppresses appetite 4
Although the vase 7 to 10 are stimulated, it is possible to stimulate the vase having another effect by changing the position and the number of the protrusions 2.

Further, in the earphone 1 described above, the projection 2 is formed on the flat plate portion 3a of the annular body 3, but other members that come into contact with the ears 6, for example, a large number of small holes that produce sound as shown in FIG. The projections 2 may be formed on the thin plate 5 itself having the. Further, the protrusion 2 may be formed on the pad side of the earphone used by covering the pad (earphone cover).

[0014]

As described above, in the earphone according to the present invention, since the protrusion is provided at the position facing the ear pot, the protrusion can be applied to the ear pot only by mounting the earphone on the ear. And, the vibration of the sound transmitted to the protrusion can stimulate the ear pot. For this reason, it is possible to easily and properly stimulate the ear pot regardless of the location, and it is possible to stimulate the ear pot without being noticed by the surrounding people.

In particular, when the ear pot is a pot that is effective for slimming, the earphone can be used for dieting.
