Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hydrogen gas inhalation device. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, there has been a growing interest in taking in hydrogen gas into the body to maintain and improve health. Inhaling hydrogen gas into the body is said to remove active oxygen such as hydroxyl radicals, which are deeply involved in many diseases such as aging, cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure, and it is being incorporated into advanced medical treatments.

[0003] It is said that the amount of hydrogen gas required for inhalation per person per day is about 40 ml. Although the amount is not particularly large, for daily inhalation, it is desirable to be able to generate at least 40 ml of hydrogen gas with simple operations.

[0004] Hydrogen gas is a gas that can be easily produced by electrolysis of water, and Patent Document 1 describes an invention for an inhalation device that inhales hydrogen gas generated by electrolysis of water. This inhalation device is small enough to be carried around in a bag or the like, supplies power for electrolysis with a built-in battery, is equipped with a control means for controlling the supply of said power, and uses a mesh electrode plate connected to a titanium electrode in the electrode section, resulting in a large number of parts, and therefore the operations related to hydrogen gas generation are complicated and the device is inevitably expensive. Because this inhalation device has been made small so that it can be carried around, it is limited by its electrode area and battery capacity, and can only generate a relatively small amount of hydrogen gas in a short period of time. It is said that it takes about 30 minutes to inhale about 40 ml of hydrogen gas, and it is not possible to inhale a relatively large amount of hydrogen gas in a short period of time.

[0005] On the other hand, Patent Document 2 describes an invention for a small, lightweight, portable hydrogen gas inhalation device that is not based on the electrolysis of water. This device has a cylindrical case that houses a tubular nonwoven fabric (hydrogen gas generator) with a hydrogen gas generating mixture made of magnesium powder, citric acid powder, and powdered cellulose inside, with the front and rear ends closed, and a cartridge filled with a water retaining material at the front end and a water absorbing material at the rear end of the cylindrical case, which is attached to the holder of the inhalation device to inhale hydrogen gas.

[0006] In the hydrogen gas inhalation device described in Patent Document 2, when the tip of the cartridge containing the hydrogen gas generator is immersed in water stored in a container or cup for a few seconds and then pulled out, the water is retained in the water retention material packed in the tip of the cartridge. This retained water then permeates the inside of the hydrogen gas generator due to the water absorption effect of the powdered cellulose, and the magnesium reacts with the citric acid to generate hydrogen gas. When the generated hydrogen gas begins to be sucked in through the suction port of the holder, water is supplied to the hydrogen gas generator from the water-retaining material at the tip of the cartridge, and the reaction continues, generating hydrogen gas for a predetermined period of time.

[0007] The hydrogen gas inhalation device described in Patent Document 2 has a cartridge containing a hydrogen gas generator that is approximately 50 mm long, and the holder is also approximately 70 mm long, so it can be carried in a bag, handbag, or clothing pocket. However, in this invention, hydrogen gas is generated by immersing the tip of the cartridge in water stored in a container or cup for a certain period of time and then pulling it up, but since the reaction of hydrogen gas generation occurs from the tip of the cartridge to the rear end, it is necessary to pay close attention to the operation such as how to immerse the tip of the cartridge in water and how to tilt it, and it is somewhat difficult to stably generate hydrogen gas to be inhaled, and it takes time for the reaction of hydrogen gas generation to be completed from the tip to the rear end of the cartridge, so it is not possible to inhale a relatively large amount of hydrogen gas in a short period of time, as with the hydrogen gas inhalation device described in Patent Document 1. Furthermore, water mixed with unreacted citric acid and magnesium citrate, a by-product generated by the reaction, may enter the mouth during inhalation, causing discomfort.

[0009] In view of these circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a hydrogen gas inhalation device that is compact and portable, generates hydrogen gas reliably and stably with simple operation, and can inhale a relatively large amount of hydrogen gas in a short period of time. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following means. [1] A hydrogen gas inhalation device comprising a container having an opening, a lid attached to the opening and having a hydrogen gas inhalation port formed thereon, and a hydrogen gas generator housed in the container and generating hydrogen gas when water is sprayed therein, the hydrogen gas generator being made of a nonwoven fabric package containing a hydrogen gas generating mixture consisting of magnesium powder, citric acid powder, and powdered cellulose; A hydrogen gas inhalation device characterized in that the cross section of the nonwoven fabric packaging body, excluding the closing margin, is flattened such that the maximum thickness in the vertical direction of the cross section is 3 mm or more and 8 mm or less, and the length in the left-right direction of the cross section is 5 times or more the maximum thickness in the vertical direction of the cross section. [2] The hydrogen gas suction device described in [1], characterized in that the container is an inverted truncated cone-shaped container, a hydrogen gas generator is placed at the bottom of the container, and an inverted truncated cone-shaped installation eave member with a hole formed in the center is attached to the circumferential portion of the side of the inner wall of the container so that its lower end is positioned above the hydrogen gas generator. [3] A hydrogen gas suction device as described in [1] or [2], characterized in that the hydrogen gas suction port is nozzle-shaped protruding from the surface of the lid, the lid has a side formed of a circular ring having a stepped portion on the back side, and the lid can be attached to the opening of the container with the nozzle-shaped suction port facing upwards, or the lid can be inverted and attached to the opening of the container with the nozzle-shaped suction port facing downwards. Effect of the Invention

[0011] In the hydrogen gas inhalation device of the present invention, the hydrogen gas generator is made of a nonwoven fabric package containing a hydrogen gas generating mixture consisting of magnesium powder, citric acid powder, and powdered cellulose, and the cross section of the nonwoven fabric package is flat, so that the sprayed water immediately penetrates and the hydrogen gas reaction proceeds to completion in a relatively short time, so that hydrogen gas can be reliably and stably generated and inhaled in a relatively large amount in a short time by a simple operation. Furthermore, the hydrogen gas generator can be made to a size that can be stored in a portable container, so that the hydrogen gas inhalation device can be made small and suitable for carrying.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] An embodiment of the hydrogen gas suction tool of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The hydrogen gas suction tool is shown in Figure 1. Reference numeral 1 denotes the hydrogen gas suction tool, 2 denotes a container with an opening, 3 denotes a lid attached to the opening of container 2, 31 denotes a hydrogen gas suction port formed in lid 3, and 4 denotes a hydrogen gas generator. The hydrogen gas suction device 1 comprises a container 2, a lid 3, and a hydrogen gas generator 4 placed at the bottom of the container 2, and the hydrogen gas generator 4 used is one that can generate hydrogen gas when water is sprayed onto it. Details of this type of hydrogen gas generator 4 will be described later. A person who inhales hydrogen gas can generate hydrogen gas by spraying water onto the hydrogen gas generator 4 placed in the container 2, and then attach the lid 3 that fits onto the opening of the container 2, and inhale the hydrogen gas from the suction port 31 formed in the lid 3.

[0014] The lid 3 can be fitted into the opening of the container 2, and has a hydrogen gas suction port 31 formed therein. In FIG. 1, the nozzle-shaped hydrogen gas suction port 31 is formed in the center, but this is not limited thereto. Unlike the one shown in FIG. 1, a hole may be formed near the edge of the lid 3, and this may be used as the hydrogen gas suction port 31, like the suction ports formed in the lids 3 of paper cups for hot coffee commonly seen on the street. Also, a suction pipe may be inserted into such suction port 31, and hydrogen gas may be sucked through this pipe. The suction port 31 may be covered in advance with a sheet, which may be peeled off at the time of suction. Also, when the suction port 31 is nozzle-shaped, a cap may be attached to the tip of the suction port 31.

[0015] The hydrogen gas generator 4 consists of a nonwoven fabric packaging in which a mixture for generating hydrogen gas is enclosed. When this hydrogen gas generator 4 is stored at the bottom of the container 2 and water is sprayed onto it, the water passes through the nonwoven fabric packaging and permeates the mixture for generating hydrogen gas, generating hydrogen gas. FIG. 2 shows an example of an embodiment of a nonwoven fabric package in which a mixture for generating hydrogen gas is enclosed, that is, a hydrogen gas generator 4.

[0016] In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the hydrogen gas generator 4 can be manufactured by folding a rectangular nonwoven fabric in half, gluing and closing the joined width ends to form a bag, pouring the hydrogen gas generating mixture into the inside through the opening, and then gluing and closing the opening. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the part excluding the closing margin 41 has a rectangular shape in plan view, and the closing margin 41 is formed on three of the four sides. For example, a food-grade nonwoven fabric used in tea bags can be used as the nonwoven fabric, and it can be easily bonded by thermocompression. The hydrogen gas generator 4 is not limited to one having a rectangular shape in plan view excluding the closing margin 41, and may be an ellipse, a circle, or a polygon other than a rectangle, but a rectangular shape is easier to manufacture.

[0017] Metallic magnesium (hereinafter simply referred to as magnesium) is lightweight, easily oxidized, and is known to react with acid to generate hydrogen gas. Because the acid used to generate hydrogen gas for inhalation cannot be highly toxic, it is not possible to use Citric acid, a non-toxic organic acid, is used in the hydrogen gas generating mixture. Magnesium and citric acid alone do not produce hydrogen; in the presence of water, the citric acid and magnesium undergo a chemical reaction to produce hydrogen gas. Magnesium and citric acid generally undergo the following chemical reaction: 3Mg+2C6H8O7→Mg3(C6H5O7)2+3H2↑ This reaction does not produce oxygen gas, as occurs with the electrolysis of water.

[0018] In the present invention, a mixture of magnesium powder, citric acid powder, and powdered cellulose is used as the hydrogen gas generating mixture enclosed in the nonwoven fabric packaging of the hydrogen gas generator 4, which generates hydrogen gas by spraying water. When water is sprayed onto this mixture, the magnesium and citric acid react to generate hydrogen gas. In this case, the term "granular material" refers to a material whose particles include powder-like particles and granular particles having a particle size of about 1 mm or less.

[0019] It is desirable to use a mixture for generating hydrogen gas in which citric acid powder particles combine with magnesium powder particles and powdered cellulose particles to form irregular, coarse particles with a particle size of about 2.5 mm or less. These three materials have different specific gravities and tend to separate into their respective materials during handling and transportation, but this can be prevented by combining the three materials into particles.

[0020] To produce such irregular, coarse particles of the mixture for generating hydrogen gas, magnesium powder, citric acid powder, and powdered cellulose are put into a mixer, ethyl alcohol is sprayed on while mixing and stirring, and then the mixture is dried with hot air (80°C or less), which removes the ethyl alcohol and turns the mixture of the above three materials into irregular, coarse particles. Alternatively, a large amount of ethyl alcohol can be added to magnesium powder, citric acid powder, and powdered cellulose to mix uniformly and turn them into a clay-like material, which is then placed in a mold and dried to form a block, which can then be crushed and sieved to produce a similar product.

[0021] When water is sprayed onto the hydrogen gas generator 4, i.e., the nonwoven fabric package containing the hydrogen gas generating mixture consisting of magnesium powder, citric acid powder, and powdered cellulose, the water passes through the nonwoven fabric package and penetrates between the particles of the hydrogen gas generating mixture, causing the magnesium and citric acid to react and generate hydrogen gas. Since the hydrogen gas generating mixture contains powdered cellulose scattered throughout, the water penetrates quickly and stably through the powdered cellulose, sustaining the reaction.

[0022] The cross section of the hydrogen gas generator 4 excluding the closing margin 41 is flattened so that the maximum length (thickness) in the vertical direction is 3 mm or more and 8 mm or less, preferably 5 mm or less, and the length in the left-right direction is 5 times or more the maximum length (thickness) in the vertical direction. Figure 3 shows a schematic cross section of the hydrogen gas generator 4 excluding the closing margin 41. In Figure 3, T is the maximum length (thickness) in the vertical direction, and W is the length in the left-right direction. Here, when the hydrogen gas generator 4 has a rectangular plan view as shown in FIG. 2, the cross section of the portion excluding the closing margin 41 is taken as a cross section of a plane passing through the midpoint between two pairs of opposing sides of the rectangle. There are two such cross sections, but both of the cross sections satisfy the above conditions. When the hydrogen gas generator 4 has an ellipse plan view as a cross section of a plane passing through the major and minor axes of the ellipse. In this case, there are two cross sections, but both of the cross sections satisfy the above conditions. For shapes that are neither rectangular nor elliptical in plan view, the cross section may be determined by regarding the shape of the plan view as either rectangular or elliptical.

[0023] In this way, by making the cross section of the nonwoven fabric packaging in which the hydrogen gas generating mixture of the hydrogen gas generator 4 is enclosed flat with a maximum vertical length (thickness) of 3 mm to 8 mm, preferably 5 mm or less, and a left-right length of 5 times or more the vertical length, the thickness of the hydrogen gas generator 4 can be reduced and its area in a plan view can be increased, so that the sprayed water quickly permeates the entire hydrogen gas generating mixture, the reaction can be continued and completed for about 1 minute, and a relatively large amount of hydrogen gas can be generated in a short time. In addition, since the hydrogen gas generator 4 is flat, the surface in a plan view is wide, making it easy to spray water and easy to absorb the sprayed water.

[0024] The mixing ratio of magnesium powder and citric acid powder is as follows: if there is less citric acid, the magnesium However, in order to avoid wasting magnesium, the mass ratio of citric acid powder to magnesium powder (referred to as "A") should be approximately 5.3 or more. However, even if A is less than 5.3, hydrogen can be generated as long as the amount of citric acid relative to the magnesium is not extremely small, and the ratio (mass ratio) of magnesium powder to citric acid powder may be approximately 3 to 9 g of citric acid powder per 1 g of magnesium.

[0025] Also, if the powdered cellulose mixed as the water-absorbing material is too little or too much, the reaction between magnesium and citric acid will not continue. It is sufficient to add it so that the volume is approximately the same as the sum of the volume of the magnesium powder and the volume of the citric acid powder, so about 1 to 3 g of powdered cellulose should be added for 1 g of magnesium and 3 to 9 g of citric acid powder.

[0026] In the case of the hydrogen gas generator 4 having a rectangular shape in plan view, when about 3 g of a mixture for generating hydrogen gas, which is a mixture of magnesium powder, citric acid powder, and powdered cellulose in a mass ratio of about 1:3 to 9:1 to 3, is enclosed in a nonwoven fabric package, the mixture has a rectangular shape of 40 mm x 50 mm in length excluding the closing margin in plan view, and the cross section can be flattened with a maximum vertical length (thickness) of about 5 mm and a horizontal length of about 40 mm (8 times the vertical length). When water is sprayed on this and reacted, a total amount of about 80 ml of hydrogen gas can be generated per minute. At this time, about 2.5 ml of water is required for the reaction, but about 3 to 5 ml of water to be sprayed is sufficient. With this amount of water, most of the sprayed water is absorbed by the hydrogen gas generator 4, and even if the container 2 is tilted when hydrogen gas is sucked from the suction port 31 of the lid, the sprayed water will not enter the mouth.

[0027] As described above, about 3 grams of hydrogen gas generating mixture is sufficient to generate a total amount of about 80 ml of hydrogen gas per minute, and the nonwoven fabric packaging body 4 containing the hydrogen gas generator can be a flattened body with a length and width of about 50 mm excluding the closing margin and a maximum thickness of about 5 mm when rectangular in plan view. At this time, the nonwoven fabric packaging body is not filled to the brim with the hydrogen gas generating mixture, but the hydrogen gas generator 4 is in a soft and flexible state. If the area of ​​the hydrogen gas generator 4 in a plan view excluding the closing margin is set to be equal to or smaller than the area of ​​the bottom surface inside the container 2, it can be placed so as to contact the bottom surface inside the container 2. If the hydrogen gas generator 4 is made flexible, it can be placed even more easily.

[0028] In this way, the hydrogen gas generator 4 can be loaded into the cylindrical container 2 having a height and diameter of, for example, about 40 to 50 mm, so that the hydrogen gas inhalation tool 1 can be made small enough to be carried in a bag or handbag, even including the lid 3. Therefore, it is possible to inhale hydrogen gas anytime and anywhere where water is available. The water to be sprayed onto the nonwoven fabric packaging containing the hydrogen gas generating mixture of the hydrogen gas generator 4 can be taken from a water tap or a plastic bottle, but it is also possible to carry a water pack containing about 3 ml of water and take water from this to spray.

[0029] Hydrogen gas is generated when water is sprayed onto the hydrogen gas generator 4 placed at the bottom of the container 2. At this time, since the water is sprayed directly onto the hydrogen gas generator 4, the water quickly penetrates into the entire hydrogen gas generating mixture in the nonwoven fabric, causing a reliable reaction and stable generation of hydrogen gas. In this way, the person inhaling can directly spray water onto the hydrogen gas generator 4 in the paper cup 2, then attach the lid 3, and immediately inhale hydrogen gas through the hydrogen gas suction nozzle portion 31 of the lid. With simple operations, a relatively large amount of hydrogen gas can be reliably and stably generated and inhaled in a short period of time.

[0030] As already described, by spraying water on a nonwoven fabric package (hydrogen gas generator 4) containing about 3 g of a mixture for generating hydrogen gas, about 80 ml of hydrogen gas can be generated per minute. In the suction device described in Patent Document 2, the amount of hydrogen gas generated is at most about 80 ml in 15 minutes. In addition, the suction device described in Reference Document 1 is also a small electrolysis type, so the amount of hydrogen gas generated is thought to be at most a few ml per minute. In this way, the suction device of the present invention can suck in a relatively large amount of hydrogen gas in a short period of time, and can shorten the time spent sucking in hydrogen gas.

[0031] Since the reaction between the magnesium of the hydrogen generator and citric acid is an exothermic reaction, when hydrogen gas is generated inside the container 2, the surface of the container 2 may reach approximately 50°C. If the container 2 has an insulating effect or is a paper cup, this can be addressed by using an embossed one or wrapping a cardboard sleeve around the container 2.

[0032] If the hydrogen gas generating mixture enclosed in the nonwoven fabric packaging of the hydrogen gas generator 4 is about 3 g, then the cylindrical container 2 can have a height and diameter of 40 to 50 mm, and the total length (height) of the hydrogen gas inhalation device 1 can be made about 60 mm or less, making it possible to make the dimensions convenient for carrying.

[0033] 4 shows an example of an embodiment in which a container having an inverted truncated cone shape is used as the container 2. For the container 2, a commercially available paper cup or the like can be used. 4, a hydrogen gas generator 4 is placed in advance on the bottom surface inside the container 2, and an installation eaves material 5 is attached to a circumferential portion of the inner wall side surface of the container 2. The installation eaves material 5 has a hollow inverted truncated cone shape with a mortar-shaped slope extending from the circumferential portion of the inner wall side surface of the container 2 like an eaves toward the inside of the container 2, and has a hole formed in the center. The installation eaves material 5 is attached to the circumferential portion of the inner wall side surface of the container 2 so that the lower end of the installation eaves material 5 is located above the hydrogen gas generator 4 placed on the bottom surface inside the container 2. When water is sprayed onto the container 2 to which this erection eaves material 5 is attached, it passes through the holes at the lower end of the erection eaves material 5 and is sprayed reliably onto the hydrogen gas generator 4 located below the erection eaves material 5. Even if water that cannot be absorbed by the hydrogen gas generator 4 is sprayed, it will not escape beyond the erection eaves material 21 toward the opening of the container 2 even if the container 2 is tilted, as long as the amount is not excessive.

[0034] Since the container 2 has an inverted truncated cone shape, the erection eaves material 5 can be attached to the circumferential portion of the inner wall side surface of the container 2 simply by pressing it toward the bottom of the container 2, but it may also be attached by providing an adhesive margin (glue margin) on the outer periphery of the upper end of the erection eaves material 5. The erection eaves material 5 can also be made of paper, like the container 2.

[0035] The container 2 has an inverted truncated cone shape and can be stacked, so that the containers 2 containing the hydrogen gas generators 4 can be stacked and carried in a bag or handbag. When a paper cup is used as the container 2, the container 2 containing the used hydrogen gas generator 4 can be disposed of each time hydrogen gas is sucked from the container 2, and a new container 2 containing a new hydrogen gas generator 4 can be used to suck hydrogen gas repeatedly.

[0036] Fig. 5 shows an example of an embodiment of the lid body 3 different from that shown in Fig. 1. Furthermore, Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 show the state in which this lid body 3 is attached to the opening of the container 2. This lid body 3 has a nozzle-shaped hydrogen gas suction port 31 protruding from the front side, like the lid body 3 shown in Fig. 1, but as will be described below, not only can the lid body 3 be attached to the opening of the container 2 with the front side of the lid body 3 facing up and the suction port 31 facing upward, but it can also be attached to the opening of the container 2 by inverting the lid body 3 so that the back side of the lid body 3 faces upward (i.e., the suction port 31 faces downward).

[0037] As can be seen from Figure 6, near the outer peripheral edge of the lid body 3, a side surface is formed by stacking two circular rings of different diameters toward the back surface of the lid body 3, and the diameter of the upper ring 32 is slightly larger than the diameter of the lower ring 33, and a stepped portion 34 is formed at the connection between the two. The "upper" of the upper ring 32 and the "lower" of the lower ring 33 are based on the state of the lid 3 shown in Figure 5, i.e., the state of the lid 3 with the nozzle-shaped hydrogen gas suction port 31 facing upward. As can be seen from Figures 5 and 6, the nozzle-shaped hydrogen gas suction port 31 has a bottom surface with a hole in the center that extends from the lower end peripheral edge of the lower circular ring 33 toward the center of the lid body 3, and is formed so that the upper end of the suction port 31 rises from this central hole, with the position of the upper end of the suction port 31 exceeding the height of the upper edge of the peripheral edge of the lid body 3.

[0038] 6 shows the state in which the lid 3 is attached to the opening of the container 2 with the nozzle-shaped hydrogen gas suction port 31 facing upward, and as can be seen from this figure, the portion of the ring 33 located below the stepped portion 34 fits into the opening of the container 2, thereby attaching the lid 3. In this state, hydrogen gas generated inside the container 2 can be sucked in through the hydrogen gas suction port 31. 7 shows the state in which the lid 3 is inverted so that the hydrogen gas suction port 31 faces downward and is attached and fitted to the opening of the container 2. As can be seen from this figure, the portion of the ring 32 located at the top (located at the bottom because it is inverted) is located on the outer surface of the opening of the container 2, and the lid 3 is attached by fitting to the opening of the container 2.

[0039] 6, in order to attach the lid 3 to the opening of the container 2 with the nozzle-shaped hydrogen gas suction port 31 facing upward, the outer diameter of the lower circular ring 33 is set equal to the inner diameter of the opening of the container 2. In this way, the circular ring 33 located below the stepped portion 34 formed by the upper and lower circular rings of different diameters abuts against the inner surface of the opening of the container 2, and the stepped portion 34 abuts against the upper edge of the opening of the container 2, thereby allowing the lid 3 to be attached to the opening of the container 2. If the container 2 is an inverted truncated cone container, it is desirable that the outer diameter of the lower circular ring 33 decreases downward in accordance with the inner diameter of the upper end of the container 2.

[0040] 7, the lid 3 can also be attached to the opening of the container 2 in an inverted manner, i.e., with the nozzle-shaped hydrogen gas suction port 31 protruding downward. In this case, the inner diameter of the upper circular ring 32 is set equal to the outer diameter of the opening of the container 2. In this way, the upper circular ring 32 is positioned outside the opening of the container 2 and the stepped portion of the stepped portion 34 abuts against the upper edge of the opening of the container 2, allowing the lid 3 to be fitted and attached to the opening of the container 2. Note that at this time, the upper circular ring 32 is positioned at the bottom.

[0041] 7, when the lid 3 is attached to the opening of the container 2 with the nozzle-shaped hydrogen gas suction port 31 facing downward, the nozzle-shaped hydrogen gas suction port 31 is stored toward the inside of the container 2, so the height of the hydrogen gas suction tool 1 can be lowered, making it convenient to carry in a bag, handbag, etc. In addition, there is little risk of damaging the protruding nozzle-shaped hydrogen gas suction port 31, and it can be kept clean. In the hydrogen gas suction device 1 shown in FIG. 7, a sticker can be attached to the surface of the lid 3 (the back surface of the lid in FIG. 5) to block the base of the nozzle-shaped suction port 31, thereby preventing dust and other particles from entering the inside of the container 2 and keeping the nozzle-shaped suction port 31 clean.

[0042] In this way, the lid body shown in Figures 5 to 7 has a side formed of a circular ring having a stepped portion on the back side, so that not only can the lid body 3 be attached to the opening of the container 2 with the front surface facing up, and therefore the suction port 31 facing upward, but it can also be attached to the opening of the container 2 by inverting the lid body 3 so that the back surface facing up, and therefore the suction port 31 facing downward. [Industrial Applicability]

[0043] The hydrogen gas inhalation device of the present invention reliably and stably generates hydrogen gas with simple operation, can inhale a relatively large amount of hydrogen gas in a short period of time, can easily inhale hydrogen gas anytime and anywhere where water is available, and is relatively inexpensive, so it meets the expectations of people who wish to inhale hydrogen gas on a daily basis.
