Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention employs a pad body with a special support form that supports the neck and a special filler for acupressure, so that it can be easily applied to the neck during use. The present invention relates to a neck acupressure pad that can always be in contact and exert a natural and comfortable acupressure effect.

(b) Problems with the prior art Traditionally, pine surge, which involves applying acupressure to localized areas called "acupoints" in the neck that extend from the head to the shoulders, has been one of the effective means for recovering from fatigue in the human body. Many pine surgery devices and instruments have been developed that can effectively recover from fatigue.

However, none of the conventional pine surge devices and instruments has been able to easily provide an optimal acupressure effect commensurate with the unique shape of the neck region from the head to the shoulders.

In other words, conventional pine surge devices, such as a chair type, which have a drive device that generates pressure, clamping pressure, vibration, etc. can apply a regular mechanical acupressure effect to the neck, but the acupressure part of the Because the neck is restricted by the shape and gives a stiff acupressure sensation, it is not only difficult to achieve a sufficient acupressure effect commensurate with the unique shape of the neck, but also the weight and shape of the device make it inconvenient to handle. Moreover, it had many drawbacks such as being expensive.

In addition, conventional pine surge devices such as acupressure pillows filled with or wound with acupressure bodies are easy to handle and have a simple structure, so there are few that match the unique shape of the neck, resulting in acupressure effects. It had the disadvantage of not being able to demonstrate its full potential.

(C) Problems to be solved by the present invention The problems to be solved by the present invention, that is, the purpose of the present invention is to solve the drawbacks of the prior art, and to solve the problem by constantly contacting the neck and making it comfortable. To provide a lightweight and inexpensive neck acupressure pad that can exhibit a comfortable acupressure effect and promote recovery from fatigue, and has excellent shape retention, durability, and other properties in handling.

(d) Means for solving the problems The present invention has the following structure in order to achieve the object (c) above. That is, the present invention provides an inflator for neck muscle acupressure, which has an occipital fitting recess and a U-shaped neck muscle acupressure part, and a bag formed in the U-shaped neck muscle acupressure part is filled with a large number of hollow small spheres. It is characterized by forming a protrusion.

The hollow small spheres used in the present invention are made of synthetic resin such as polyethylene or polyvinylene.
It is hollow-molded into a small spherical shape of about 10 to 20 mm, and has spherical elasticity that allows for a pleasant, soft-touch acupressure effect on the nape of the neck, and the ability for the small spherical bodies to roll against each other and move freely. It has a certain degree of familiarity.

In addition, the pad body is made of mesh cloth, artificial leather,
It is made from a slightly hard sheet such as deer lining tanned leather, and is preferred in that it further improves the shape retention of the pad body when using acupressure, compared to materials made from general dish towels. In particular, products made from tanned deer lining produce a luxurious feel and can further improve added value, although the product cost is somewhat higher.

Furthermore, the specific form of the U-shaped bulge for neck acupressure is that two left and right neck clamping pressure areas that clamp the sides of the neck are formed with a width of 80 to 120 mm, and these two left and right neck clamping pressure areas are communicated. and a neck pressing area that presses the rear part of the neck. In addition, the center of the bulge for neck acupressure, which is formed in a U shape by the two left and right neck clamping areas and the neck pressing area, has a recessed part to fit into the back of the head, so it can be removed from the head. This helps to comfortably and stably support the neck, which has a unique shape that extends over the shoulders.

(e) Effects of the present invention Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it has the following effects.

a By filling the bulge for neck acupressure with a large number of hollow small spherical bodies, it is able to exhibit a cushion function with high elasticity and a soft-touch acupressure effect when in use, and it also prevents the movement of the neck during use. The mutual movement of hollow spherules caused by this also produces a pine surge effect.

b By forming the scruff acupressure bulge in a U-shape, when the scruff acupressure bulge surrounds and holds the area around the neck that extends from the head to the shoulders, and body pressure from the head, etc. is applied, An acupressure effect is generated by clamping pressure on the sides of the neck, and an acupressure effect is generated by pressing on the rear part of the neck, providing a reasonable acupressure effect on the entire neck and a stable acupressure effect. .
Moreover, due to body pressure fluctuations in the head, etc., the hollow small spherical body is caused to move between the two left and right neck clamping pressure areas in the U-shaped neck acupressure bulge and the neck pressure area that communicates the lower part thereof. Because it moves freely, the scruff acupressure bulge adapts to the shape of the neck and always comes into contact with the scruff of the neck with an even pressing force, allowing for a natural and comfortable acupressure effect.

c By forming the neck acupressure bulge in a U-shape, the upper end of the U-shape can be removably attached to the head support position of a pillow, easy chair, etc. using a string, Velcro tape, hook, etc. In addition, the position of the pad can be fixed by fitting the back of the head into the concave part of the back of the head, so it is stable and will not fall off from the pillow even when used by inserting it under the pillow cover. It is possible to exhibit a suitable mounting effect.

(F) Embodiment Figures 1 to 4 relate to an embodiment of the neck acupressure pad of the present invention, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing its appearance, and Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the neck acupressure pad. - It is a cross-sectional view when in use as seen from the cross-section of the A line, Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view when in use as seen from the cross-section of the B-B line in Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a sectional view when filling the neck acupressure bulge. FIG. 2 is an enlarged partially cutaway view of a small hollow spherical body.

First, the neck acupressure pad as shown in FIG.
The inside of the bag body 3 of the U-shaped neck acupressure part of the flat pad main body 2 made of two pieces of mesh cloth (300 x 300 mm) is filled to form the neck acupressure bulge 4, and the occiput fitting concave part 5 is filled. was formed.
Here, the height of the U-shaped neck acupressure bulge 4 is determined in order to comfortably exert the acupressure effect by pinching and pressing.
It is preferable to set it as 40-50 mm. In addition, the neck clamping pressure area, which forms part of the U-shaped neck acupressure bulge 4 and is arranged on the side of the neck, is tapered upward in order to exert the neck acupressure effect without the feeling of a foreign body.

Furthermore, the hollow small sphere 1 as shown in Fig. 4 is made of polyethylene resin and is formed into a small sphere shape with a diameter of about 20 mm by blowing like a soap bubble, and is used to ventilate the inside of the sphere. A type with one air supply and exhaust hole was adopted.

Here, a large number of uniform small spherical objects are used as the hollow small spherical objects 1, but in order to obtain a unique acupressure effect, a large number of spherical objects of two or more different sizes may be mixed.

When the neck acupressure pad of this example obtained in this way is inserted between the pillow body and the pillow cover and used, it easily adapts to the shape of the neck due to body pressure such as the head, and always stays in place. It exerts acupressure effect that can relieve the stiffness that occurs in the muscles of the neck by applying pressure evenly to the front part of the body without straining, and also causes pine surge due to the mutual movement of small hollow spherical bodies due to changes in body pressure such as the head. It was effective, had excellent shape retention, was lightweight and easy to handle.

(g) Effects of the present invention Since the present invention has the above-described configuration and operation, it has the following effects.

By filling the neck acupressure bulge with a large number of hollow small spherical bodies, both a soft acupressure effect and a pine surge effect can be exerted, thereby significantly promoting recovery from fatigue. Moreover, since the hollow small spheres are lightweight, they are easy to handle.

By forming the neck acupressure bulge in a U-shape, it is possible to exert a rational and stable acupressure effect on the neck by pinching and pressing, allowing accurate acupressure treatment on local areas of the neck called "acupoints". can do.

By forming the occiput fitting recess surrounded by the neck acupressure bulge, the usage position can be fixed, and it can also be securely attached to pillows, easy chairs, etc., making it easy to handle. The effect is significant.
