Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a palette for painting, and more specifically, when gripping the palette to create a painting, pressure stimulation is applied to pressure points (acupuncture points) on the back of the hand to relieve mental stress and improve the human body. The present invention relates to a collapsible painting palette that activates the physiological functions of the body and allows one to comfortably create paintings.

When creating a painting or sketching, you have to hold the palette with one hand for a long time, so
Blood circulation in the hands becomes poor, the physiological effects of the human body become purified, and the physical condition is disturbed, and this tendency becomes even stronger when using large pallets.
The disadvantage is that the palette does not fit into the art box, making it inconvenient to carry.

In the past, large collapsible palettes have been proposed, but although they can be easily carried around in a paint box, they have problems with the human body's physiology caused by holding them for long periods of time. It does not relieve the mental stress caused by the slowing down of the work and the mental stress caused by the creation of paintings, and moreover, it is necessary to install a spacer between the used surfaces of the pallets, which is necessary to prevent the opposing surfaces of the folded pallets from coming into contact with each other. Since the spacer is provided in the pallet, the spacing member prevents the space from being used, and there is a drawback that the entire surface of the pallet, which has limited space, cannot be used effectively.

This invention was developed in light of the above-mentioned circumstances, especially in the treatment of Oriental medicine, where there is an acupuncture point called ``Hegu'' between the thumb and index finger, which can be stimulated to relieve mental stress. Focusing on the well-known fact that the physiological effects of the human body become more active,
A painting palette was created based on a completely new concept, and a protrusion for pressing the tip of the thumb is protruded from a position near the grip which has an insertion hole through which the thumb is inserted. By forming pressure points for pressure points on the hand holding the pallet body through the insertion holes, the pressure points (acupuncture points) on the hand can be stimulated simply by pressing the thumb against the projections at any time while holding the pallet. The object is to provide a collapsible painting palette that activates the physiological functions of the human body, improves physical condition, and allows one to create paintings comfortably.

The structure of the present invention will be explained based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a pallet body formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and the pallet body 1 includes an upper plate body 2 and a lower plate body 3. It is composed of both plates 2,
3 is a position where it is fixed in a flat plate shape via a hinge 4;
It can be opened and closed to a position where the opposing surfaces are folded into a superposed state.

An insertion hole 5 through which the thumb is inserted when gripping the pallet body 1 is opened on one side of the lower plate 3, and an insertion hole 5 is formed on one side of the peripheral edge of the lower plate 3 opposite to the insertion hole 5. A finger rest recess 6 is formed, and the pallet main body 1 is formed by the insertion hole 5 and the finger rest recess 6.
The grip part is composed of Also, the recess 6 of the insertion hole 5
The inner circumferential surface located on the side, that is, the side edge 5a, is formed into a slope with a wide upper end and a reduced lower end, and when the pallet main body 1 is gripped, the side edge 5a comes into contact with the pressure point called the "godani". It is becoming more and more common.
An oil-resistant elastic body 5b made of nylon or the like is attached to the entire inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole 5 to provide a good contact sensation with the thumb inserted into the insertion hole 5. Reference numeral 8 denotes a protrusion protruding near the gripping part 7, and the protrusion 8 and the side edge 5a of the insertion hole 5 form a pressing part 9 for pressure points on the back side of the hand that grips the pallet 1. is formed. Further, the protrusion 8 is attached to the upper plate body 2 when the pallet body 1 is folded.
It also has the function of a holder that maintains an appropriate distance.

In the above configuration, the upper plate 2 and lower plate 3 of the pallet main body 1 are now opened to a fixed position in parallel, the thumb is inserted into the insertion hole 5 from below, and the other finger is inserted into the recess 6. If you hold it around, you can use it for painting, sketching, etc., just like a conventional palette.

However, in the present invention, since the protrusion 8 protrudes particularly near the grip portion 7, the thumb inserted into the insertion hole 5 can be easily locked. Therefore, if you hold and use a palette for a long time, or if you become irritated due to creating a painting, your nerves are irritated due to mental stress, or your blood pressure rises, you should use your thumb. When the finger is pressed toward the protrusion 8, the side edge 5 of the insertion hole 5 is
A appropriately stimulates a well-known acupuncture point called ``Gotani'' located at the bifurcation of the thumb and index finger,
It activates the physiological functions of the human body and allows you to create paintings comfortably.

On the other hand, when the pallet main body 1 is closed to the folded position, the projections 8 hold the opposing surfaces of the upper plate 2 and lower plate 3 with an appropriate distance between them.
Even if the paints on 3 are not dry, they will not come into contact with each other and mix colors. In addition, the pallet body 1 has a gripping part 7.
Since the distance between the two plate bodies 2 and 3 can be maintained reliably only by the protrusion 8 provided nearby, it is possible to reliably maintain the distance between the two plate bodies 2 and 3. The use surface of the pallet body 1 is not obstructed, and the entire surface of the pallet body 1, which has only a limited space, can be effectively used.

In short, the present invention consists of a pallet main body made of a plate formed into an appropriate shape, which is foldable, and a gripping part with a thumb insertion hole formed on one side of one of the plates of the pallet main body. , a protrusion for pressing the thumb tip is protrudingly provided near the gripping part, and acupuncture points (acupuncture points) on the back side of the hand are gripped by the pallet main body by the protrusion and the side edge of the thumb insertion hole.
Since the projections are also used as spacing members for the plates that overlap when the pallet main body is folded, when the pallet is grasped by inserting the thumb into the insertion hole, the projections are released. is located near the gripping part, so you can press your thumb against the pressing body at any time to stimulate the pressure points (acupuncture points) on your hand, and even if you hold the pallet for a long time, you can maintain your physical condition and feel comfortable. Not only does it allow you to create paintings on your own, but it also allows you to easily carry the palette by folding it up. It is possible to hold the opposing surfaces of the folded pallet main body at an appropriate distance without contacting only by the body, and therefore,
In particular, there is no need to provide a separate spacing member at all, and the entire surface of the pallet body, which has only a limited space, can be used effectively, which brings about extremely useful practical effects.
