Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an abdominal treatment device for the purpose of treating constipation, abdominal pain, stiff shoulders caused by gastrointestinal problems, and other gastrointestinal diseases that can be cured by physical therapy.

Many gastrointestinal diseases can be cured by so-called physical therapy that physically stimulates the abdomen, but in the past, in the case of this type of gastrointestinal disease, it was necessary to manually press or massage the abdomen. In addition to being inconvenient, it also had the drawback that the therapeutic effect was low unless it was done by an experienced person. There are also therapeutic devices that warm the abdomen, but these only provide a single stimulus and are therefore unable to produce sufficient therapeutic effects.

The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned inconveniences and drawbacks, that is, to be able to use it easily even by unskilled people, to be able to treat it by oneself without bothering others, and to be able to treat the abdominal pain easily. The object of the present invention is to provide an abdominal treatment device that can provide a more sufficient therapeutic effect by applying complex stimulation to the abdomen.

The abdominal treatment device according to the present invention that achieves such an object has a substantially vertical rotating shaft that is decelerated and rotated by a motor built into the case supported on the case,

Each of the switches c and b can be operated from the outside of the case 1, as shown in FIG.

The abdominal treatment device according to the above embodiment adjusts the elasticity of the elastic body 6 according to the patient, and adjusts the position of the idler wheel 5 according to the width of the patient's abdomen and the affected area. The patient places the lower sheet 8 in contact with the patient, and the patient holds the handle 14 by himself/herself.A power cord (not shown) is connected to the power source.
When switches b and c are turned on, the idler wheel 5 begins to rotate freely on a predetermined circular orbit due to the rotation of the rotary shaft 3, and at the same time, the abdomen is warmed by the heater 81. . If the temperature of the treatment area is high, turn off switch c.

Since the sheet 8 is interposed between the surface of the abdomen and the idler wheel 5, the rotation of the idler wheel 5 will not damage the skin of the abdomen. The abdomen is pressed down and gently rubbed by the rotation and free rotation of the idler wheel 5, and is stimulated by the pressure of the idler wheel 5, stimulated by being rubbed in the direction of rotation, and the heater 81.
A complex thermal stimulus is applied to the abdomen, which produces a favorable therapeutic effect. Also,
Due to the elasticity of the elastic body 6, the idler wheel 5 rotates while pressing the abdomen while following the relatively hard and soft parts of the abdomen up and down, so that a very smooth feeling of pressure is given.

3, 4 and 6 show other embodiments, in which the auxiliary case 1 as in the previous embodiment
2 is provided, a sleeve-shaped part 16 is formed at the bottom of this case 1, and the flange-shaped part 34 of the rotating shaft 3 is supported by a bearing 33 attached to the bottom of this sleeve-shaped part 16. The rotating shaft 5 is supported in a substantially vertical state, and is freely rotated on a circular orbit around the axis of the rotating shaft 3 via the arm 4 to the rotating shaft 3 below the case 1. car 5
is installed.

The arm 4 is a main arm 41 that is substantially the same as in the embodiment described above.
The support arm 42 consists of a base 4a attached to the tip of the main arm 41 so as to be able to rotate together with a mounting shaft 43, a case 4b attached to the lower end of the base 4a, and a case 4b. It consists of a shaft 4c that is fixed to the lower end of 4b in a manner that prevents it from coming off, and a retainer 51 that holds an idler wheel 5 is fixed to the lower end of this shaft 4c. The shaft 4c is
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the case 4b is attached to the case 4b with the notch-shaped flange 4d formed at the upper end thereof being engaged with the notch-shaped inner flange 4e formed at the lower end of the case 4b. On the other hand, it has a retaining shape and is pressed downward by an elastic body 6 provided inside the case 4b.

Numeral 9 is a lever for changing the diameter of the circular orbit on which the idler wheel 5 rotates, as in the previous embodiment, one end of which is fixed to the mounting shaft 43 of the arm 4, and the other end is a lever that is substantially parallel to the rotating shaft 3. It is connected to rod 9a. The rod 9a is connected to the rotating shaft 3 as shown in FIG.
The insertion hole 35 formed in the flange-shaped part 34 protrudes into the sleeve-shaped part 16 of the case 1, and the U-shaped engagement part 9b formed at the upper end of the sleeve-shaped part 16 of the case 1 is inserted into the sleeve-shaped part 16 of the case 1. The inner flange 9d of the collar 9c, which is slidably inscribed in the collar 9c, is engaged with the collar 9c so that the collar 9c does not rotate even if the rod 9a rotates together with the rotating shaft 3. Another rod 9e extending upward is attached to the collar 9c, and an adjustment shaft 9g inserted through an E-shaped hole 9f formed on the side surface of the case 1 is connected to the rod 9e. Each step is used as a locking part 9h, 9j, 9k for adjustment, and a knob 9m is attached to the end of the shaft 9g. In the illustrated state, the adjustment shaft 9g is locked to the suspension locking portion 9j, and the idler wheel 5 is also in the intermediate position. When the locking portion 9k is locked, the rotation radius of the idler wheel 5 becomes the minimum, and when the adjustment shaft 9g is locked to the lowermost locking portion 9h, the rotation radius of the idler wheel 5 is maximized. It's meant to be.

The other configurations of the therapeutic devices of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5 are the same as those of the previous embodiments, except that the elasticity of the elastic body 6 cannot be adjusted. It has an effect.

In addition, in the treatment device of the present invention, as shown in Fig. 7, T
A letter-shaped arm 4 may be used and the idler wheels 5 may be attached to both ends thereof, and in this case, the rotation radius of each idler wheel 5 may be configured to be different. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of idle wheels 5 are attached to the angled arm 4
may be installed in parallel.

The above abdominal treatment device according to the present invention can be easily used by oneself by placing it on the abdomen, so even an unskilled person can easily use it, and it is possible to perform treatment by oneself without bothering others. In addition, since a sheet is interposed between the abdominal surface and the idler wheel, the abdominal skin will not be damaged by the rotation of the idler wheel. In addition, the abdomen is pressed down and gently kneaded by the rotation and idling of the idle wheel, and is stimulated by the pressure of the idle wheel, the stimulation of being rubbed in the direction of rotation, and the heat of the heater. A complex stimulation is applied to the abdomen, which produces a favorable therapeutic effect. Further, due to the elasticity of the elastic body, the free wheel rotates while pressing the abdomen while following the relatively hard and soft parts of the abdomen up and down, so that a very smooth feeling of pressure is given.
