Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hot spring eye treatment device. [Background technology]

[0002] There are many hot springs in Japan, and among them, Kaikake Onsen, Ubako Onsen, and Tsubonyu Onsen are famous for being effective in treating the eyes. Metaboric acid, a hot spring ingredient, has a moisturizing effect, and by bathing in the hot spring for a long time, the metaboric acid is absorbed into the body and is said to be effective against cataracts, retinal hemorrhage, dry eyes, and eye fatigue. Sodium metasilicate, another hot spring ingredient, is also known as a skin-beautifying ingredient.

[0003] Patent Document 1 proposes a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, a skin disease in horses, made primarily from mesopore diatomaceous earth, which has a high content of metasilicic acid and metaboric acid and is found in hot springs contaminated with petroleum and the strata from which they emerge.

[0004] Patent Document 2 proposes a neck-wrapped float that prevents the face from sinking when undergoing spa therapy. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-89753 [Patent Document 2] Jippan No. 56-44739 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] As shown in previous literature, hot springs have been known since ancient times to be effective in treating eyes. Treatment methods include soaking in a hot spring and exposing the hot spring steam to the eyes, or directly washing the eyes with hot spring water.

[0007] Active ingredients such as metaboric acid are more effective when the hot spring water comes into direct contact with the eyes or eyelids (skin) rather than through steam. The longer the contact time, the better. However, prolonged contact requires immersing the face in the hot spring, which makes it difficult to breathe, making prolonged contact impossible.

[0008] As shown in Patent Document 2, with a neck-wrapped float, the area above the neck is exposed, so it is not possible to immerse the eyes in the hot spring. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the eye treatment jig of the present invention is a goggle-type treatment jig that covers the front of the face including the eyes, and has a contact portion at the upper edge of the treatment jig that comes into contact with the forehead, and a space is formed between this contact portion and the upper edge of the treatment jig for supplying hot spring water into the treatment jig, and cushions are attached to the side and lower edges of the treatment jig to prevent the hot spring water from falling out of the treatment jig.

[0010] The space for supplying the hot spring water into the treatment jig can be provided with a guide to allow the flowing hot spring water to be directed directly onto the eyes, stimulating acupressure points. Also, small holes can be formed in the lower edge of the treatment jig so that the hot spring water inside the treatment jig can be gradually discarded and new hot spring water can be taken in and circulated. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the present invention, the eyes can be immersed in hot spring water without immersing the face in the hot spring, which allows the eyes to be in contact with the hot spring water for a long period of time, and is expected to have a therapeutic effect.

[0012] The eye treatment device of the present invention is convenient because it can be used not only in public hot spring baths but also in ordinary home baths and showers. When using a shower, the temperature of the water in the treatment device can be easily changed between hot water and normal water. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 3] FIG. 10 is a front perspective view of an eye treatment device according to another embodiment. [Figure 4] FIG. 10 is a top view of an eye treatment jig according to another embodiment. [Figure 5] FIG. 10 is a top view of an eye treatment jig according to another embodiment. [Figure 6] FIG. 10 is a bottom view of an eye treatment jig according to another embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the upper edge 2 of the goggle-type treatment jig 1 is provided with a contact part 3 that comes into contact with the user's forehead, and a space 4 is formed between the upper edge 2 and the contact part 3 to allow hot spring water to flow into the treatment jig 1, and this space 4 is provided with a guide 5 that changes the direction of the hot spring water flowing in so that it hits the eyes directly.

[0015] Furthermore, cushions 8 are attached to the side edges 6 and bottom edge 7 of the goggle-type treatment jig 1 to prevent the hot spring water that has flowed into the treatment jig 1 from leaking out.

[0016] In the above, the user wearing the treatment jig 1 pours hot spring water from the space 4 into the treatment jig 1 using a ladle while soaking in the bathtub, and then slowly soaks in the hot spring water while bringing the hot spring water into direct contact with the eyes to provide treatment.

[0017] 3 to 6 show other embodiments. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a pipe-shaped spacer 10 is placed in the center of the upper edge portion in order to ensure a space 4 between the upper edge portion 2 of the treatment jig 1 and the contact portion 3.

[0018] In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, the contact portion 3 is made of a soft material, which allows it to fit snugly against the forehead, and two pipe-shaped spacers 10 are sandwiched on the left and right to ensure a space 4. In particular, by using flexible resin pipes for the pipe-shaped spacers 10, the fit to the forehead is improved.

[0019] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, both the contact portion 3 and the pipe-shaped spacer 10 are made of flexible resin pipes, thereby further improving the fit to the forehead.

[0020] In the embodiment shown in Figure 6, small holes 11 are formed in the lower edge 7 of the treatment jig 1 to adjust the amount of hot spring water that drains out. By forming small holes 11 in this way, the hot spring water that has accumulated inside the treatment jig 1 gradually drains out of the treatment jig 1, and by adding new hot spring water to the treatment jig 1 to replace it, fresh hot spring water is constantly circulating inside the treatment jig 1, which increases the therapeutic effect. [Industrial Applicability]

[0021] The eye treatment device of the present invention can be installed and used at spa resorts. [Explanation of symbols]
