Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a body compression device for applying pressure to various parts of the body to relieve stiffness. [Background technology]

[0002] Some devices apply pressure to desired parts of the body by applying a load to them, and the present inventor has also developed various devices (see Patent Documents 1 and 2). The devices disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 have a columnar structure with legs that have a roughly trifurcated cross section with a constriction roughly in the center in the axial direction, and any two of the three legs are set as lower legs, and are used by applying pressure to various parts of the body with the legs that stand upright from the centers of the lower legs.

[0003] When these devices are placed on the desired part of the body and weight is applied, the action of the constriction located approximately in the center of the leg causes the device to bend slightly, which relieves the pressure on the body part and reduces the pain caused by excessive pressure.In addition, by applying pressure to the body with the two humps formed by dividing the body by the constriction, the pressure applied to the body is dispersed, making it possible to reduce the pain caused by applying strong pressure to a part of the body.

[0004] These devices have three legs with different thicknesses at the top, so that the user can apply a small amount of pressure to the body by selecting a wider or thinner leg and applying pressure to it, or a larger amount of pressure by selecting a thinner leg and applying pressure to it, and this, combined with the user's ability to adjust the load pressure, allows for the most comfortable feeling of pressure.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Design Registration No. 1683804 [Patent Document 2] Design Registration No. 1669963 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] As is well known, the skeleton and muscles that make up the human body do not have straight lines; they are all curved. In order to apply appropriate pressure to a body with such a shape, it is necessary to change the position and shape of the pressure member depending on the part to be pressed. Furthermore, the range that can be addressed with one device is limited, so there is a situation where multiple devices must be used to address the issue.

[0007] The devices disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are also based on the inventor's findings and have succeeded in applying appropriate pressure to each part of the body by varying the thickness of the tops of the legs, making it possible to apply small or large pressure to the body. However, there is still room for improvement.

[0008] The present invention has been made in light of the above circumstances, and has as its object to apply appropriate pressure to various parts of the human body using a single device. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The body compression device of the present invention is a body compression device having a block portion and a base on which the block is mounted, wherein the block portion is a horizontally elongated, approximately rectangular block body having a plurality of approximately cylindrical protrusions in the longitudinal direction of the top surface, and the base has a recess extending in the longitudinal direction, which is formed by recessing the entire flat, elongated top surface, and the block portion is detachably accommodated in the recess.

[0010] According to the above configuration, the block part having the protrusions that apply pressure to the body can be removed from the base, and by using multiple block parts with different protrusion patterns interchangeably depending on the application, it is possible to apply appropriate pressure to each part of the human body with a single device.

[0011] In the above configuration, the base has a bottom portion of the recessed portion that is inclined in the longitudinal direction.

[0012] According to the above configuration, by inclining the bottom of the base that houses the block parts, the arrangement of the protrusions when the block parts are housed is also inclined, so that by using a plurality of block parts with different protrusion patterns interchangeably according to the application, even more protrusion patterns can be provided.

[0013] In the above-described configuration, at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the block portion is inclined from one end to the other end in the longitudinal direction to form a wedge shape in a side view.

[0014] According to the above configuration, by tilting at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the block portion in the longitudinal direction, the arrangement of the protrusions can be changed by inverting the orientation of the block portion by 180 degrees and storing it in the base, making it possible to provide even more protrusion patterns.

[0015] In the above-described configuration, the block portion has a plurality of protrusions arranged on an upper surface that is arched in side view.

[0016] According to the above configuration, by curving the upper surface of the block portion in an arched shape, the arrangement of the protrusions on the upper surface can be configured to be curved, and a block portion can be configured that can apply appropriate pressure to curved parts of the human body.

[0017] In the above configuration, the block portion has a plurality of protrusions of different heights arranged on the upper surface thereof.

[0018] According to the above configuration, by varying the height of the protrusions, the arrangement of the protrusions can be configured as straight lines, curves, or a combination of these, and a block can be configured that applies appropriate pressure depending on the part of the human body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] According to the present invention, the block part having the protrusions that apply pressure to the body can be removed from the base, so that by replacing and using multiple block parts with different protrusion patterns depending on the application, it is possible to apply appropriate pressure to each part of the human body with a single device.

[0021] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0022] 1 is a schematic exploded perspective view showing a body compression device 100 according to the present invention. Body compression device 100 has a flat, long base 120 in which a recess 123 is formed in the longitudinal direction by recessing the center of an upper surface 121, and a bottom 125 of recess 123 is inclined in the longitudinal direction, with twin walls 127a, 127b provided on both sides of recess 123.

[0023] The body compression device 100 further has a block portion 140 which is an elongated, approximately rectangular parallelepiped block body in its entirety, with a plurality of approximately cylindrical protrusions 143 formed in the longitudinal direction of the upper surface 141, and a recessed portion (not shown) formed in the lower surface 145 which is fitted and engaged with a protrusion 129 formed in the bottom 125 of the recess 121 of the base 120.

[0024] A number of uneven structures are formed around the periphery of the base 120, which not only provide a grip when operating the body compression device 100 but also apply appropriate pressure to parts of the body (see Figures 6 and 7).

[0025] 2 is a schematic perspective view of the block portion 140 as viewed from below. The block portion 140 has recessed portions 147 on the lower surface 145 at the front and rear in the longitudinal direction, which are engaged with protrusions 129 formed on the front and rear in the longitudinal direction of the bottom 125 of the recessed portion 121 of the base 120 to be positioned.

[0026] The block portion 140 has an upper surface 141 that is inclined from one end to the other in the longitudinal direction, and has a wedge shape when viewed from the side. A plurality of protrusions 143 formed in the longitudinal direction of the upper surface 141 are all approximately equal in height.

[0027] Figure 3 is a side view showing the state in which the base 120 and the block portion 140 are engaged with each other, and Figures 3(1) and 3(2) show the state in which the block portion 140 is engaged with the base 120 with its orientation different from each other.

[0028] That is, as shown in FIG. 3(1), when the base 120 and the block portion 140 are engaged, the lower slope of the underside of the block portion 140 is engaged with the higher slope of the recess 121 of the base 120, thereby forming a shape in which the underside B of the base 120 and the line L connecting each protrusion of the block portion 140 are approximately parallel in side view.

[0029] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3 (2), when the base 120 and the block portion 140 are engaged, the side of the recess 121 of the base 120 with a higher slope is engaged with the side of the lower surface of the block portion 140 with a higher slope, thereby forming a shape in which the lower surface B of the base 120 and the line L connecting each protrusion of the block portion 140 are not parallel in side view.

[0030] Other than the configuration in which the underside B of the base 120 and the line L connecting each protrusion of the block portion 140 are approximately parallel in side view, there are configurations in which the line L slopes continuously from one end to the other end in side view, as shown in Figure 3 (2), configurations in which the line L slopes discontinuously from one end to the other end in side view, and configurations in which the line connecting each protrusion forms an arc in side view.

[0031] These configurations can be realized by adjusting the inclination angle of the upper and / or lower surfaces of the block portion 140, or by changing the curvature of the upper surface of the block portion 140 to adjust the curve of the upper surface.

[0032] 4 is a perspective view showing another form of block to be engaged with base 120. Block portion 240 is a horizontally elongated, approximately rectangular block body as a whole, with a plurality of approximately cylindrical protrusions 243 formed in the longitudinal direction of upper surface 241, and a recess (not shown) formed in lower surface 245 that is fitted to and engaged with protrusion 129 formed in bottom 125 of recess 121 of base 120.

[0033] The block portion 240 has an upper surface that is formed in a generally arc shape from slightly rearward of the center toward the rear end, and is configured to be generally wedge-shaped in side view by inclining from the center of the upper surface toward the front end. The block portion 240 has a plurality of protrusions 243 of generally equal height formed on the upper surface, and in the illustrated example, two protrusions are formed from slightly rearward of the center toward the rear end, and three protrusions are formed from the center to the tip.

[0034] Figure 5 is a side view showing the state in which the base 120 and the block portion 240 are engaged, and Figures 5(1) and 5(2) show the state in which the block portion 240 is engaged with the base 120 with its orientation different from each other.

[0035] That is, as shown in FIG. 5(1), when the base 120 and the block portion 240 are engaged, the lower slope of the underside of the block portion 240 is engaged with the higher slope of the recess 121 of the base 120, and the line L connecting each protrusion of the block portion 240 to the lower surface B of the base 120 forms a smooth arc in side view, with the apex slightly to the right of the center in the figure, and the one protrusion to the right of the center is slightly lower, and the height of the three protrusions to the left of the center is gradually lower.

[0036] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5 (2), when the base 120 and the block portion 240 are engaged, the side of the recess 121 of the base 120 with the side with the higher slope of the underside of the block portion 240 is engaged with the side with the higher slope, so that the line L connecting each protrusion of the block portion 240 with the underside B of the base 120 slopes from one end on the left side to the other end on the right side in the figure so that the two protrusions on the left side in the figure are at approximately the same height in side view, and the height of the three protrusions on the right side is gradually lower.

[0037] By changing the inclination angle or curvature of the upper surface of the block portion, the line connecting the protrusions can be configured to be inclined or to draw an arc in side view, or by changing the height of each protrusion, the line connecting the protrusions can be configured to be inclined or to draw an arc in side view.Furthermore, the height of each protrusion can be adjusted by changing the inclination angle or curvature of the upper surface of the block portion, or the height of each protrusion, or by combining these.

[0038] The body compression device 100 can be used by applying the protrusions on the block portion to parts of the body, or by applying the uneven structure on the side of the body compression device 100 to parts of the body.

[0039] As shown in Figure 6, the body compression device 100 has a roughly "T" shape in side view with the block portion 140 engaged with the recess 123 of the base 120, and can be used in either a form in which it is supported by one side surface 131 of the base 120 and the protrusion 143 of the block portion 140, with the other side surface 133 of the base 120 being placed against a part of the body, or a form in which it is supported by the other side surface 133 of the base 120 and the protrusion 143 of the block portion 140, with one side surface 131 of the base being placed against a part of the body, as shown in Figure 7.

[0040] One side 131 and the other side 133 of the base 120 are each provided with different unevenness. In the illustrated example, one side 131 of the base 120 has sawtooth-like unevenness formed thereon, and the other side 133 is recessed slightly toward the center and front end, and multiple uneven portions are formed on the other surfaces.

[0041] The user can apply the desired pressure to a part of the body by selecting one of the three parts, one side surface 131 and the other side surface 133 of the base 120, and the protrusion 143 of the block portion 140.

[0042] Also, the body compression device 100 can be used in the same manner by engaging the block portion 240 with the base 120 instead of the block portion 140 .

[0043] According to the embodiment described above, the block members 140, 240 having protrusions that apply pressure to the body can be removed from the base 120. Therefore, by replacing a plurality of block members with different protrusion patterns depending on the application, it is possible to apply appropriate pressure to each part of the human body with a single device.

[0044] Furthermore, since the base 120 and the block portions 140, 240 are engaged via an inclination, by shifting the positions of the base and the block portions relative to one another in the horizontal direction, the height from the bottom surface of the base 120 to the protrusions of the block portions can be lowered or raised, and appropriate pressure can be applied to different parts of the body.

[0045] Furthermore, by storing the block portions 140 and 240 in the base 120 with their orientations changed by 180 degrees, the inclination angle and curvature of the protrusion pattern can be changed. [Explanation of symbols]
