LEG MASSAGE PATCH, PRESSURE LEG AND PRESSURE STOCKING

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of leg massage techniques, and in particular, to a leg massage patch, a tube of compression stocking, and a compression stocking.BACKGROUND

[0002] Running and skipping have always been popular sports for most people, which mainly exercise the leg muscles. During running, the anterior muscles of the thigh, namely the quadriceps femoris muscle, including the vastus medialis muscle, the vastus lateralis muscle, and the vastus intermedius muscle and rectus femoris muscle between the vastus medialis muscle and the vastus lateralis muscle, will be frequently used. During skipping, the posterior muscles of the shank, the gastrocnemius muscle, will be frequently used. Therefore, it is necessary to perform appropriate massage for relaxation after the corresponding exercise process, to relieve the muscle soreness and other sports sequelae that will occur after the exercise.

[0003] One of the existing muscle massage methods is micro-current massage, which places a certain number of conductive patches on the corresponding leg surface, and then the control portion sends out low-frequency current pulses to simulate the current signals sent by the brain, to achieve the periodic contraction and relaxation of the corresponding muscles. For example, the patent with the publication No. CN2558224Y with the title of massage health underpants.

[0004] Regarding the above related technologies, the shape of the conductive patch is generally round or square, but the quadriceps femoris muscle or the gastrocnemius muscle that needs to be massaged for relaxation is not round or square, making it difficult for the conductive patch to fully cover the corresponding muscles during a micro-current massage, resulting in insufficient muscle massage.

[0005] WO 2018 / 206067 A1 discloses a compression garment, preferably a compression stocking, for providing neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), the compression garment comprises at least two integrated electrode pads enabling NMES, wherein the integrated electrode pads comprise silicone polymers the silicone polymer further comprising graphene, the electrode pads being adapted to be in contact with the skin when in use. TW M 583 297 U discloses massage health underpants that feature conductive patches and massage pads for micro-current stimulation of specific body parts or acupoints. While primarily focused on areas like the waist, buttocks, and abdomen, this document generally teaches the concept and application of micro-current massage for muscle stimulation.SUMMARY

[0037] The present invention is defined by the appended claims. Further aspects, embodiments and examples described hereinafter are only of exemplary nature and are presented for better understanding the present invention. The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] An embodiment of the present application discloses a leg massage patch. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 2, the leg massage patch includes a conductive patch 1 that fits a surface of a leg of a user, and the conductive patch 1 may be an electrotherapy cloth that can generate a certain deformation. The conductive patch 1 includes a thigh patch 35 and a shank patch 36, the thigh patch 35 fits a front portion of a thigh of the user, and the shank patch 36 fits a rear portion of a shank of the user, to perform a micro-current massage on corresponding muscles of the thigh and the shank of the user.

[0039] Referring to FIG. 1, two ends of the thigh patch 35 in a length direction are close to, in a one-to-one correspondence manner, two ends of a vastus medialis muscle or the vastus lateralis muscle in a length direction. A side edge of one end of the thigh patch 35 in a width direction is of an arc shape, and one end of the arc-shaped side edge of the thigh patch 35 in the width direction is close to any arch-shaped side edge of two side edges that are away from each other of the vastus medialis muscle and the vastus lateralis muscle. A straight edge of one end of the thigh patch 35 in the width direction is close to any arc-shaped side edge of two side edges that are close to each other of the vastus medialis muscle and the vastus lateralis muscle.

[0040] Referring to FIG. 2, the shank patch 36 includes an upper portion region 38 close to the thigh of the user and a lower portion region 37 close to a foot of the user, and the upper portion region 38 and the lower portion region 37 are close to, in a one-to-one correspondence manner, two ends of a gastrocnemius muscle in a length direction. The width of the upper portion region 38 is greater than the width of the lower portion region 37, edges of the upper portion region 38 and the lower portion region 37 are of arc shapes, and a joint between the upper portion region 38 and the lower portion region 37 is of an arc shape for transition.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 3, the conductive patch 1 further includes a support patch 21 close to a tibialis anterior muscle of the shank. The shank patch 36 and the support patch 21 release a current in sequence. The support patch 21 is first operated for 0.1 s to 0.2 s, and then the shank patch 36 is operated for 0.3 s to 0.4 s, to form a minimum action step; and an interval between every two minimum action steps is 0.4 s to 0.6 s, and a cycle continues. In addition, one shank patch 36 and one support patch 21 are disposed on each leg of the user correspondingly, one shank patch 36 and one support patch 21 that are on the same leg of the user form a group of walking patches 23, and two groups of walking patches 23 are operated in sequence.

[0042] For example, when simulating human walking, it is assumed that a left leg is moved first. When a left foot is in contact with the ground, the support patch 21 of a left shank releases a current at this time to stimulate the tibialis anterior muscle to contract for 0.2 s, to play a role of stabilizing the body. Then a right leg is moved, and the shank patch 36 of the left shank releases a current at this time to stimulate the gastrocnemius muscle to contract for 0.4 s, to play a role of pushing the human body to move forward. When the right leg is in contact with the ground, the support patch 21 of a right shank releases a current to stimulate the tibialis anterior muscle to contract for 0.2 s, to play a role of stabilizing the body. Then the left leg is moved, and a cycle continues, to simulate muscle contraction during human walking.

[0043] An implementation principle of the leg massage patch of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: two thigh patches 35 may be used to fit the vastus medialis muscle and the vastus lateralis muscle, so that the vastus medialis muscle, the vastus lateralis muscle, and a vastus intermedius muscle and a rectus femoris muscle that are between the vastus medialis muscle and the vastus lateralis muscle can be comprehensively subjected to the micro-current massage effect of two conductive patches 1. The shank patch 36 can adaptively and comprehensively cover a medial head and a lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle of the user.

[0044] An embodiment of the present application further discloses a tube of compression stocking, provided with the above leg massage patch. Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the tube of compression stocking includes an upper tube body 34 that is tightly sleeved on a thigh of a user and a lower tube body 32 that is tightly sleeved on a shank of the user. According to requirements, the upper tube body 34 and the lower tube body 32 can be integrally formed or separated to be used separately. Two thigh patches 35 are attached to an inner wall of the upper tube body 34, and two shank patches 36 are attached to an inner wall of the lower tube body 32. Each of the upper tube body 34 and the lower tube body 32 is provided with a contact portion 2, the contact portion 2 may be an insulating cloth and two metal electrode sheets, and the contact portion 2 of the upper tube body 34 is electrically connected to the two corresponding thigh patches 35.

[0045] Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the contact portion 2 of the lower tube body 32 is electrically connected to the two corresponding shank patches 36 and one support patch 21, and the metal electrode sheet of the contact portion 2 is exposed outside the upper tube body 34 or the lower tube body 32. The contact portion 2 may be detachably connected to a control portion in a magnetic attraction manner, and the control portion 3 may be a pulse generator with a built-in power supply.

[0046] Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the two thigh patches 35 cover the vastus medialis muscle and the vastus lateralis muscle in a one-to-one correspondence manner, and adjacent straight edges of the two thigh patches 35 in the length direction are close to, in a one-to-one correspondence manner, two sides of the vastus intermedius muscle and the rectus femoris muscle in a length direction. A distance between upper portion regions 38 of the two shank patches 36 is greater than a distance between two lower portion regions 37. The contact portion 2 of the lower tube body 32 is close to the upper portion region 38 of one shank patch 36, and the contact portion 2 is away from the lower portion region 37. At the same time, an elasticity modulus of the contact portion 2 is far greater than an elasticity modulus of the upper tube body 34, so that the contact portion 2 is not prone to deformation, and a distance between the two metal electrode sheets of the contact portion 2 is not prone to change, thereby facilitating connecting the control portion 3 to the two metal electrode sheets of the contact portion 2.

[0047] Referring to FIG. 7, two air permeable regions 31 are formed at positions, away from the thigh patch 35, of the upper tube body 34, and the two air permeable regions 31 are located at two ends of the upper tube body 34 in a one-to-one correspondence manner. Knitting quality of the air permeable region 31 is less than knitting quality of the upper tube body 34, so that an elasticity modulus of the air permeable region 31 is less than the elasticity modulus of the upper tube body 34, air permeable performance at the air permeable region 31 is better, and the two ends of the upper tube body 34 are looser. Adjacent side edges of the two air permeable regions 31 are of arch shapes, so that pressure on the leg of the user gradually increases from the two ends of the upper tube body 34 to the middle.

Referring to FIG. 8, one end, close to a foot of a user, of a lower tube body 32 is provided with a stocking body 33 in an integrally-formed manner. The stocking body 33 fits the foot of the user for the user to wear on the foot. One end, away from the stocking body 33, of the lower tube body 32 may be integrally formed on an upper tube body 34 according to requirements, and the upper tube body 34 may be separated from the lower tube body 32.

[0050] An implementation principle of the compression stocking of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the compression stocking can adapt to requirements of different users and helps a wearing position of the lower tube body 32 or the upper tube body 34 not to have large deviation.
