Description
Title of the invention: VITALITY SHIATSU AT HOME
[0001] THE INVENTION CONCERNS: The creation of a range of VITALITE SHIATSU AT HOME products developed by a qualified SHIATSU professional, which would allow a maximum number of people to benefit from SHIATSU, in a simplified manner, in the form of self-acupressure (DO IN) without any particular knowledge.
[0002] This project is based on ancestral know-how, SHIATSU: Shi means fingers, and atsu means pressure. It consists of stretching and applying pressure to certain points in order to facilitate the free circulation of energy.
[0003] Shiatsu is an alternative medicine officially recognized since 1955 by the Ministry of Health of JAPAN, aiming to stimulate acupuncture points (without needles), by exerting pressure or friction on the whole body, along the lines of the meridians by manipulation carried out using the thumbs, fingers, palms, elbows ...
[0004] Nowadays, Shiatsu is declared: Unconventional Medicine worthy of interest in the Senate
[0005] The meridians, discovered more than 2500 years ago by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), are channels connected to each other and in which circulates the energy that makes our body live.
[0006] SHIATSU allows you to let go, to refocus and move towards harmonious well-being by balancing your ki (vital energy), to draw on your own answers and your true self-healing abilities, or even to reinvest your body to recreate the precious link between body and mind. With a DO IN application
[0007] Do-in is a self-massage practice of Japanese origin.
[0008] Do-in consists of applying a series of pressures, smoothings, and kneading movements along the body using a technique derived from shiatsu and traditional Chinese medicine. It is a true art of family living.
[0009] DESCRIPTION OF THE VITALITE SHIATSU AT HOME RANGE VITALITE SHIATSU AT HOME the art of DO IN for well-being, at home.
[0010] The VITALITE SHIATSU AT HOME range was created in 2023, thanks to the VITALITE SHIATSU practice, located in the RHONE (69). The SHIATSUKI of this practice, a professor of Martial Arts, a qualified specialist certified by the Professional Shiatsu Union in the RNCP register, brought his knowledge and his 10 years of practice in a SHIATSU therapy salon, to imagine and design a product which would allow as many people as possible to benefit from SHIATSU, in a simplified way, in the form of self-acupressure (DO IN).
[0011] VITALITE SHIATSU AT HOME aims to create a product, using an ancestral technique and know-how, to improve the physical condition of the consumer, who would not necessarily have the time to come for a consultation, at the price of a simple session.
[0012] The VITALITE SHIATSU AT HOME range is intended to be therapeutic, but also educational, since it lays the foundations for self-acupressure (DO IN) at home without any particular knowledge, thanks to the precise location of the spheres placed on the different sleeves and derived products.
[0013] By exerting finger pressure on the V2 spheres 2 (above the fabric), the consumer will be able to provide treatment by acting directly on the acupuncture points, along certain meridians, without any particular knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
[0014] For those who would like to discover a little more about this Art of Living, we are currently developing a VITALITY SHIATSU AT HOME well-being BOX, including the products and future products in the range, associated with diagrams, drawings, courses, explanations, etc., allowing us to clarify the basics of shiatsu (DO IN), for relaxing and family use at home.
[0015] This is a first in the field of SHIATSU (DO IN).
[0016] HOW DOES THE VITALITY SHIATSU AT HOME RANGE WORK?
[0017] For its product range, VITALITE SHIATSU AT HOME uses an ancestral technique from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and the know-how of a SHIATSUKi specialist qualified and certified by the Professional Shiatsu Union in the RNCP register, to allow you to try needle-free acupuncture in DO-IN (self-acupressure), at your home, at the price of a traditional shiatsu session in a salon.
[0018] Our Do-in spheres, placed in the form of KATA, act by contact on the acupuncture points along the meridians.
[0019] Without specific knowledge of acupuncture, by applying finger pressure to localized points, you can improve the treatment to reduce your pain: Tennis elbow, tendonitis, sprain, joint mobility, tension, loss of energy, sports recovery, sciatica, lower back pain, stress...
[0020] This process improves the dispersion of muscular and energetic tensions and facilitates the revival of energy in the body. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
[0021] [Fig.l] Diagram of the do-in spheres: the processes and the forms of nesting of the 2 half-spheres can evolve during the industrialization phase depending on the finalized prototypes. [Fig.2] Arm sleeve project [Fig.3] Method [Fig.4] Logo [Fig.5] Shiatsu specialist
[0022] METHOD OF USE: DIAGRAMS AND EXPLANATORY PHOTOS ATTACHED AT THE END OF THE DOCUMENT
[0023] 1 / Put on the product from the chosen range (arm sleeve, bra, back protector, etc.), depending on the area to be treated.
[0024] Remember to follow the instructions for a perfect fit.
[0025] 2 / Let the F? spheres 1 (under the fabric) placed along the meridians act, for continuous stimulation at the acupressure points for a duration ranging from 30 minutes to approximately 1 hour 00 to 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on the need felt.
[0026] 3 / To accentuate the expected results, exert pressure in the form of DO IN, on the V2 spheres 2 (above the tissue) with the tip of the finger, passing from one point to another (either going up or down the area), approximately every 30s, to intensify the stimulation of the acupuncture points and produce the desired therapeutic effect.
[0027] The operation can be repeated 3 to 4 times a day or when there is pain.
[0028] Our VITALITE SHIATSU AT HOME product range is dedicated to a industrial production.
[0029] VITALITE SHIATSU AT HOME device according to claim 1 characterized in that
[0030] The SPECIFICATIONS, SPHERES, for the ARM SLEEVE PROJECT, as well as the entire range derived from VITALITE SHIATSU AT HOME, based on the same know-how, the same concept and the same manufacturing process.
[0031] THE Do-in SPHERES (diagrams at the end of the file):
[0032] Design of the interior notches of each sphere:
[0033] Each sphere is cut into 2 parts.
[0034] The notch of the hemisphere 1 must be precisely designed to perfectly match the nipple of the corresponding hemisphere 2 for a perfect coupling taking into account the thickness of the fabric...
[0035] Make sure it is deep enough for the nipple to fit securely, but not too tight to avoid forcing the assembly or damaging the fabric.
[0036] Material:
[0037] We would like to use durable, somewhat flexible materials for the hemispheres, preferably recyclable, water resistant.
[0038] Resistance:
[0039] Ensure that the 2 half-spheres are securely fixed to avoid any loosening.
[0040] Possibility of gluing the two Vz spheres to accentuate the solidity.
[0041] Maintenance and wear cases: 1 red sphere + 1 black sphere will be included in the packaging for replacement if necessary.
[0042] Nipple shape:
[0043] For a solid attachment, it is preferable that the nipple is cylindrical in shape + / -4 / 6mm.
[0044] This allows for a more precise fit and better force distribution. The rounded edges also reduce the risk of premature wear.
[0045] The notch must be deep enough to allow the half-sphere 1 to fit securely into the half-sphere 2.
[0046] On the Arm Sleeve, approximately 23 spheres will cover the acupuncture points, clipped around a fabric.
[0047] PLEASE NOTE: THIS INDUSTRIALIZATION PROCESS MAY EVOLVE AND BE CARRIED OUT BY THERMOFORMING OR OTHER PROCESSES TO ALLOW THE ASSEMBLY OF THE 2 HALF-SPHERES AROUND THE FABRIC
[0048] THE FABRIC: We would like, as far as possible, a textile linked to sport and environmental protection that would possess a certain number of qualities to be considered optimal. These qualities seem essential to us to guarantee both sporting performance and environmental sustainability.
[0049] Here are some of the important qualities that we would like to see as much as possible with the textile industry:
[0050] Respect for the environment:
[0051] Sustainable materials: Use of recycled, organic or renewable materials to reduce the environmental footprint.
[0052] Sports performance:
[0053] Breathability: The textile must allow effective evacuation of perspiration to maintain comfort during physical activity or in everyday activities.
[0054] Elasticity: A certain elasticity to adapt to several sizes, and to improve mobility and comfort.
[0055] Abrasion resistance: To resist friction and wear.
[0056] Thermal insulation: To maintain body heat or to limit UV rays from the sun...
[0057] Comfort
[0058] Lightness: Lightweight textiles are often preferred to minimize fatigue.
[0059] Quick drying: Quick drying is essential to avoid feelings of dampness and cold.
[0060] Flexibility: Textiles must be flexible to allow good freedom of movement.
[0061] Breathable fabric wicks away excess heat, keeping you comfortable and dry.
[0062] We would also like a V-shaped knit that fits the curve of the arm, helping the arm to better release pressure.
[0063] A reinforcing band will be placed along the Small Intestine (SI) and Large Intestine (GI) meridians on the arm sleeve project, to support the muscles and tendons during movements and around the thumb to prevent tearing, without creating friction or pain on the contours, because the forces exerted at this location are significant and the hole for the thumb to pass through could weaken the structure of the arm sleeve, which could cause a tear at this location.
[0064] The thickness of the fabric will also evolve according to needs and tests...
[0065] The SPECIFICATIONS, SPHERES, for the BACK PROJECT, as well as the entire range derived from VITALITE SHIATSU AT HOME, based on the same know-how, the same concept and the same manufacturing process.
[0066] Do-in SPHERES (diagrams at the end of the file)
[0067] Design of the interior notches of each sphere:
[0068] Each sphere is cut into 2 parts.
[0069] The notch of the hemisphere 1 must be precisely designed to perfectly match the nipple of the corresponding hemisphere 2 for a perfect coupling taking into account the thickness of the fabric...
[0070] Ensure that it is deep enough for the nipple to fit securely, but not too tight to avoid forcing the assembly or damaging the fabric.
[0071] Material: We would like to use durable, somewhat flexible materials for the hemispheres, preferably recyclable, water resistant.
[0072] Resistance:
[0073] Ensure that the 2 half-spheres are securely fixed to avoid any loosening.
[0074] Possibility of gluing the two V2 spheres to increase the solidity.
[0075] Maintenance and wear and tear: 1 red sphere + 1 black sphere will be included in the packaging for replacement if necessary.
[0076] Diameter of the spheres:
[0077] In order to intensify the therapy at the iliac level (main hip bone), several diameters will be used.
[0078] Nipple shape: For a solid attachment, it is preferable that the nipple is cylindrical in shape + / - 4 / 6mm, or more on spheres larger than 17mm.
[0079] This allows for more precise adjustment and better distribution of forces.
[0080] Rounded edges also reduce the risk of premature wear.
[0081] The notch must be deep enough to allow the half-sphere 1 to fit securely into the half-sphere 2.
[0082] On the BACK Sleeve, approximately 24 spheres will cover the acupuncture points, clipped around a fabric.
[0083] PLEASE NOTE: THIS INDUSTRIALIZATION PROCESS MAY EVOLVE AND BE CARRIED OUT BY THERMOFORMING OR OTHER PROCESSES TO ALLOW THE ASSEMBLY OF THE 2 HALF-SPHERES AROUND THE FABRIC.
