Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to various health appliances using compressed air, and particularly to an airbag used for promoting blood circulation near the neck of a human body.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems]

 Generally, it is said that if pressure is applied to the human body from the outside and then the pressure is released repeatedly, blood circulation in that part is promoted, blood circulation is improved, and it is effective in treating diseases.

A blood circulation promoter that can automatically and surely apply and release the above-mentioned compression by using compressed air is well known. However, such a blood circulation promoter is used for the neck and shoulder arms. Although it is thought to be effective in treating diseases such as whiplash, stiff shoulders, and headaches, it is not possible to exert a great amount of pressure on the neck, which poses the problem that the effect of such a blood circulation promoter cannot be fully exerted. there were.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and effectively treats blood circulation promotion and diseases of the cervical shoulder arm without applying a large pressing force to the neck of the human body. It is an object of the present invention to provide an air bag for a blood circulation promoter that can be used.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is an air bag for a blood circulation promoter, comprising an inflatable / contractible bag body attached to a body, and a blower mechanism for supplying compressed air into the bag body. The bag body is formed of a pair of concentric donut-shaped bag portions, and each bag portion is individually communicated with the blower mechanism.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to this invention, a pair of donut-shaped bag portions are concentrically connected to each other to form a bag body, and compressed air is simultaneously supplied to each bag portion. When it is wrapped around the neck and inflated / contracted, the upper donut-shaped bag part presses and releases the upper part of the neck, that is, around the jaw, and the lower donut-shaped bag part lowers the neck part. In other words, by pressing and releasing around the shoulder, the neck is not given a pressing force due to the presence of the recess between the bag portions. Therefore, by repeatedly pressing and releasing the respective bag portions, the neck and shoulder arms are sufficiently massaged, which is effective for promoting blood circulation and treating diseases.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an air bag for a blood circulation promoter according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an inflatable / contractible airbag that is attached to the neck of a human body, and has an elongated bag body 2 and tightening bands 10a and 10b for holding the bag body 2 in a donut shape. The Y-shaped pipe 20 is attached to the bag body 2.

The bag body 2 has a central portion 2c sewn along its longitudinal direction and is divided into a pair of bag portions 2a and 2b. Air tubes 3a and 3b (see FIG. 3) are housed in the bag portions 2a and 2b, respectively. The air tubes 3a and 3b are made of a flexible material such as soft vinyl chloride, and the skins of the bag portions 2a and 2b are made of cloth, for example.

Tightening bands 10a and 10b are sewn to one end sides of the bag portions 2a and 2b, and the other ends of the fastening band 10a and the bag portion 2a and the other ends of the fastening band 10b and the bag portion 2b. Velcro tapes 11a, 11b; 12a, 12b are planted on the respective sides. The velcro tapes 11a, 11b; 12a, 12b are fastened to each other by folding back the fastening bands 10a, 10b on the other ends of the bag portions 2a, 2b folded in a circle. (See Figure 2).

The Y-shaped pipe 20 attached to the bag body 2 includes a primary pipe 20a connected to a compressor (not shown) and a pair of bag portions 2a and 2b branched from the primary pipe 20a. And secondary pipes 20b and 20c connected to each other. Both pipes 20b 1 and 20c 2 are provided with air injection valves 21a 1 and 21b 2 which also function as air release assist valves in the airbag. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the air injection valves 21a and 21b have a valve hole 22 and a check valve 23 for opening and closing the valve hole 22 in the central portion. A valve body 25 slides in a valve box 26. It is installed as possible to divide the inside of the valve box 26 into a primary chamber 27 and a secondary chamber 28. Reference numeral 29 is a valve seat of the check valve 23, and 30 is a plurality of exhaust holes formed on the outer wall of the secondary chamber 28.

Next, a method of using the blood circulation promoting airbag will be described.

First, the bag body 2 of the airbag 1 shown in FIG. 1 is rolled into a donut shape and wound around the neck portion 40 (state of FIG. 3), and the tightening bands 10a and 10b are provided with Velcro tapes 11a and 11b; 12a and 12b. Is fastened to the other ends of the bag portions 2a and 2b. In this state, the compressor is started to supply compressed air to the primary pipe 20a of the Y-shaped pipe 20. As shown in FIG. 4, the supplied compressed air pushes down the valve body 25 to close the exhaust holes 30, 30 ... And also opens the check valve 23 to pass from the primary chamber 27 to the secondary chamber 28 to the state shown in FIG. The bag portions 2a and 2b shown in the figure simultaneously flow into the tubes 3a and 3b in the direction of the arrow to expand the respective bag portions 2a and 2b into a donut shape.

When the supply of the compressed air by the compressor is stopped after the expansion, the primary chamber 27 of the Y-shaped pipe 20 becomes negative pressure as shown in FIG. 5, the valve body 25 is pushed up, and the check valve 23 Comes into contact with the valve seat 29 to close the valve hole 22 (FIG. 4), the compressed air in the bag portions 2a, 2b is discharged in the direction of the arrow from the open exhaust holes 30, 30, ... , 2b rapidly become normal pressure.

The above-described series of operations is performed, for example, such that the bag portions 2a and 2b are inflated in 10 seconds, the inflated state is maintained for 4 seconds, the air is deflated instantaneously, and the contracted state is maintained for 8 seconds. In such expansion and contraction repeatedly, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper donut-shaped bag portion 2a presses and releases around the jaw 41, and the lower donut-shaped bag portion 2b of the shoulder 42. By pressing and releasing the circumference, the circumference of the neck 40 is not pressed by the presence of the recess 2d between the bag portions 2a and 2b. Therefore, by sequentially repeating the pressing and releasing by the bag portions 2a and 2b, the upper and lower parts of the neck 40 are sufficiently rubbed, and the neck 40 can be stretched and massaged.

Although the Y-shaped pipe 20 is connected to the bag portions 2a and 2b in the above embodiment, two air tubes are connected between the bag portions 2a and 2b and the compressor instead of the Y-shaped pipe 20. It is also possible to adopt a configuration that allows it.

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, a large compression force is not applied to the neck, and the upper and lower parts of the neck can be sufficiently pressed and released. It has a special effect of being useful for.
