Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a warm moxibustion device for indirect moxibustion developed to effectively bring about the therapeutic effect of moxibustion without leaving moxibustion marks on the skin.

<Prior Art> Various types of moxibustion have been used in the past, but the most popular one currently is indirect moxibustion, which provides gentle thermal stimulation to the skin.

As shown in Figure 9, the structure of a conventional moxibustion device used for indirect moxibustion consists of a columnar molded body 10 containing nutritional components in moxa, and a metal foil 11 glued to the top surface. And, it is wrapped in a vertically long cylindrical paper 14 and placed vertically so as to cover the heat moiety component passage hole 12, and then glued and integrated to the pedestal 13, which has a heat moiety component passage hole 12 in only one place in the center. are mainly used.

In addition, there is a dish-shaped pedestal with many holes in the bottom on which moxa are placed (Jitsukai No. 50-62385),
Mixed nutritional ingredients on a pedestal and molded (Jitsukaiaki)
50-145784), or a pedestal with a cloth stretched on the underside of a hard ring, on which nutritious ingredients are applied and the moths are burned on top of the pedestal (Utility Model Publication No. 57-33855).

<Problem to be solved by the invention> Since the conventional product has the structure as described above, first,
The conventional product shown in FIG. 9 has the following drawbacks.

The glue bonding the metal foil 11 and the pedestal 13 may block the hot moth component passage hole 12, and the moth nourishing components may not penetrate into the human body.

Since the metal foil 11 reflects and radiates the combustion heat of the moxa molded body 10, it does not contribute to the heat retention of the pedestal 13 itself, and the duration of the heat is short.

Since the moxa molded body 10 is erected in the shape of a vertical column, combustion heat is easily diffused into the atmosphere, and the adhesion area between the moxa molded body 10 and the pedestal 13 is small, so that heat and moxa nutritional components are transferred to the moxa molded body. There is no effective conduction or movement from 10 to pedestal 13, and the efficacy of moxibustion is not fully demonstrated.

Next, using a dish-shaped pedestal improves the transferability of the active ingredients of moxa, but on the other hand, it results in an extreme supply for a short period of time. The pedestal containing nutritional components prevents direct contact of the mole combustion gas with the skin.

<Means for Solving the Problems> Therefore, in the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, a recessed portion for supporting a flat mosaic molded body 3 formed to burn in a detour manner is provided. We have developed a moxibustion device in which a plurality of heated moxa component passage holes 5 are provided below the recess 4 on a moxa support pedestal 1 which is provided with a moxa 4 on the upper surface.

In particular, it is possible to provide a nutrient-containing layer 2 having a plurality of conduction holes 6 communicating with a plurality of thermal moxa component passage holes 5 on the lower surface of the moxa-supporting pedestal 1, or to make the moxa-supporting pedestal 1 contain nutritional components. In addition, a pedestal for holding moxa 1
It is preferable to provide a nutritional component-containing layer 2 between the moxa molded body 3 and the moxa molded body 3, or to make the moxa molded body 3 contain nutritional components. Even in such a combination with nutritional components, the shape of the pedestal is such that a plurality of passage holes 5 for the heating components are provided on the lower surface of the detoured recess.

<Function> With the above structure, the contact area between the moxa molded body and the moxa support pedestal is large, resulting in good heat conduction, and since the extended dimension of the moxa molded body, that is, the combustion path is long, the combustion time is shortened. is also longer. There is no temporary overheating phenomenon, so there is no need to worry about burns. In addition, since most of the area of the pedestal is used to support the moxa molded body,
A plurality of thermal moxa component passage holes can be provided, and by having these passage holes directly under the concave portion of the moxa support base, the moxa nutritional components can be directly transferred toward the human body more effectively than conventional products.

The figure is a central vertical sectional view showing a conventional moxibustion device.

In the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, a nutrient-containing layer 2 is integrally bonded to the lower surface of a moxa-supporting pedestal 1. A recess 4 is provided on the upper surface of the pedestal 1 in a shape capable of supporting the mosaic molded body 3 formed so as to burn in a detour manner. A spirally shaped body that burns in a detour has never been seen before, and the inventor of the present invention described it in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
As proposed in No. 197430, it was only possible to mold the material by mixing it with other natural fiber materials. In addition, the pedestal 1 for supporting moxa is provided with heat moxa component passage holes 5 at multiple locations so as to penetrate from the recess 4 to the back surface, and the nutrient component containing layer 2 has a large number of conduction holes 6. A 1/2 conduction hole 6 is provided so as to match the heating element passage hole 5.

Moxa molded body 3 in the recess 4 on the upper surface of the moxa support pedestal 1
When combustion starts at the ignition point P, the combustion gradually progresses in the → direction (lateral direction). Since the moxa molded body 3 is shaped like a flat plate and is formed to burn in a detour in the horizontal direction, the area in contact with the moxa support pedestal 1 is large, and the combustion path is long, so the combustion time is long. Become. Thermal component passage holes 5 are provided at a plurality of locations in the recess 4 which serves as a combustion path.
Due to the conduction holes 6 connected thereto, the heat generated by the combustion of the moxa molded body 3 effectively penetrates into the human body while fusing the moxa components and nutritional components, thereby healing the affected area.

The heat generated by the combustion of the moxa molded body 3 is gradually reduced by the moxa support pedestal 1, the nutrient component containing layer 2, and the air layer provided by the heat moxa component passage holes 5 and conduction holes 6, resulting in a skin-friendly temperature. Become.

As described above, compared to the conventional product shown in FIG. 9, the product of the present invention is a moxibustion device that provides gentler thermal stimulation to the human body and has a greater moxibustion effect.

FIG. 3 shows another shape of the moxa molded body 3 in the first embodiment, and the shape of the moxa molded body 3 is not limited as described above, but may be a flat shape that burns in a detour. Preferably. This also applies to other embodiments to be described later.

As shown in FIG. 8, the conventional moxibustion device takes about 3 minutes and has a maximum temperature of about 75°C, but the product of the present invention takes about 9 minutes and reaches a maximum temperature of 65°C. It maintains a heated state for a long time while repeatedly changing the temperature at a temperature that is gentle on the human body. This is one of the reasons why the product of the present invention exhibits much superior moxibustion efficacy compared to conventional products.

In addition to the above, the present invention can include various embodiments as described below.

In the second embodiment shown in FIG.
It has a structure in which a moxa molded body 3 is placed on top and a pedestal 1 contains nutritional components. Since nutritional components alone have poor physical strength, they may be supported on nonwoven fabric or paper, or they may be hardened with a binder or the like with the addition of various pulps, short fibers, fiber waste, etc.

In the third embodiment shown in FIG.
A nutritional component-containing layer 2 is provided between the moxa molded body 3 and the moxa molded body 3.

In the fourth embodiment shown in FIG.
The moxa molded body 3 that fits into the recess 4 contains nutritional components.

FIG. 7 shows a fifth embodiment, which is the basis of the present invention. This example has a structure in which the nutrient component-containing layer 2 is not provided, and the moxa molded body 3 is simply placed on the moxa support pedestal 1, and is the simplest and cheapest to manufacture. In this manner, the present invention can exhibit effective moxibustion effects using only the moxa component.

As mentioned above, the moxa molded body 3, the moxa support pedestal 1,
There are various ways to combine the nutritional component-containing layers 2, and the combination is not limited to these.

The material for the moxa support pedestal 1 is preferably paper, pulp non-woven fabric, cork, tanned leather, etc. In order to omit the metal foil 11 used in conventional products, the surface of the recess 4 on the top surface of the moxa support pedestal 1 is It is a good idea to apply flame retardant.

Regarding the mosaic molded body, it is preferable to re-refine the moxa and mix adhesives, quick-drying agents, softeners, foaming agents, flame retardants, etc. in consideration of combustion time and component effects.

As for the nutritional component layer, by solidifying it, material preparation and complicated labor are eliminated, but powdered garlic is used as a nutritional component.
It is best to use materials such as green leaves, ginger, hatsuka, miso, and salt, and mix them with a binder, quick-drying agent, foaming agent, and softener.

As is conventionally known, in order for the moxibustion device of the present invention to easily adhere to the human body, a rewetting adhesive may be applied to the back surface of the moxibustion device, or an adhesive layer with release paper may be formed. It is preferable to keep it.

<Effects of the Invention> As detailed above, the moxibustion device of the present invention produces excellent moxibustion by effectively utilizing the combustion heat and volatile components of moxa, without leaving moxibustion marks on the skin, since it causes less thermal stimulation to the human body.
