Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a health sheet having a blood circulation promoting function and a health tool using the health sheet. [Background technology]

[0002] A known example of this type of health sheet is described in Patent Document 1 (JP 2004-8389 A). This health sheet is made by mixing a negative ion-generating substance into a resin such as silicone rubber and molding it into a sheet. The negative ion-generating substance is made of one or more minerals, such as tourmaline, germanium, selenium, guiyang stone, maifan stone, or diaperites.

[0003] This health sheet can be used, for example, as a floor mat, carpet, clothing lining, etc. When this health sheet is worn or placed in contact with the body, for example, directly or indirectly, the negative ions from the negative ion generating material act effectively on the human body, thereby balancing the bioelectric current that causes an excess of positive ions and promoting health. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-8389 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] By the way, in this health sheet, the negative ions from the negative ion generating material act effectively on the human body, but since the main function is to generate negative ions, it is not necessarily excellent in performance, and in particular there is a problem that it is inferior in its function of warming the body. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a health sheet that enhances the heating function and promotes health, and a health tool using the same. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve this purpose, the health sheet of the present invention comprises a base made of fabric and an adhesive material that is applied to the base and then dried to adhere, and the adhesive material is made from a mixture of at least hot spring mineral powder, conductive charcoal powder, and a binder for these.

[0007] The binder can be anything that can bind the hot spring mineral powder and charcoal powder together and adhere them to the base fabric, but examples include those that are primarily made of resin paint. A mixture of the powders of each substance dissolved in this is applied to the base fabric, and then dried. The binder maintains this adhesion state upon drying.

[0008] This health sheet can be used as it is, but can also be attached to or used as an interior decoration for various items, such as mats in the broad sense described below, including rugs that come into contact with the body, as well as chairs, seats, shoe soles, stationery, and accessories. In other words, it can be made to come into direct or indirect contact with people.

[0009] This allows the health sheet to effectively act on the body. Specifically, the hot spring deposits and charcoal in this health sheet emit far-infrared rays. The addition of the hot spring deposits, especially the radioactive substances contained in them, creates the same effect as bathing in a hot spring, improving the sheet's warming function. This warms the body, improves blood circulation, and stimulates metabolism. The conductive charcoal also helps to suppress static electricity buildup. Furthermore, the charcoal is porous, absorbing moisture when humidity levels rise and releasing moisture when humidity levels drop, providing humidity-regulating properties. Furthermore, its porous nature allows it to adsorb harmful substances such as microorganisms and odorous components, providing deodorizing and disinfecting functions. This improves the surrounding ambient environment, synergistically enhancing the warming effect of the hot spring deposits, ensuring reliable and stable performance.

[0010] If necessary, the adhesive may be made by mixing salt powder. The salt itself generates a certain amount of negative ions, which can be combined with other substances to produce a synergistic effect.

[0011] Furthermore, if necessary, the binder is primarily composed of a resin paint, and is formed in a mesh-like structure with an open area ratio of 30% to 60% and 80% or more of small holes with a maximum width of 1 mm to 3 mm. Because the health sheet uses a resin paint as the binder, it feels like a cloth base coated with resin, providing a pleasant feel, overall flexibility, and ease of handling. Furthermore, the mesh-like structure increases the surface area of ​​the attachment body, improving the ambient environment around the attachment body and further enhancing the heating function of the hot spring deposits.

[0012] If necessary, the deposit of hot spring mineral deposits is a deposit remaining after evaporation of water from mineral spring water containing at least one of radium and radon or both. When the radon in the hot spring deposits enters the body, the strong ionizing effect that radon is thought to have stimulates the body, for example, ionizing the blood and bodily fluids and activating the blood, and one can expect the same effects as bathing in a radon hot spring, making one feel refreshed and comfortable. As a result, it is extremely beneficial for the body and mind, and is extremely effective in restoring health, relieving stress, and improving mental well-being. Furthermore, radium generates radon during its radioactive decay. The radon generated by the radioactive decay of radium also has the same effect as above. Furthermore, because radium is a mineral and a solid, it is more stable than radon, which is a gas, and has a longer half-life, so radon generation can be maintained for a long period of time.

[0013] In this case, the hot spring deposits of the adhesion body are those collected from Tamagawa Onsen in Shibukurosawa, Tamagawa, Lake Tazawa, Senboku City, Akita Prefecture, and the charcoal is made from binchotan charcoal made from ubamegashi oak. This ensures that the functions and effects of the present invention can be fully achieved.

[0014] In this case, it is effective to mix 20 to 40 parts by weight of the deposits, 15 to 30 parts by weight of the charcoal, 0.5 to 2 parts by weight of the salt, and 30 to 60 parts by weight of the binder to form the deposits, where parts by weight are the component ratios of the deposits on a dry basis. This ensures that the functions and effects of the present invention can be fully achieved.

[0015] Furthermore, if necessary, the adherent body is formed by mixing tourmaline powder. This health sheet contains tourmaline, which generates negative ions. The charcoal itself also generates negative ions, which, combined with the tourmaline, produce a negative ion effect. In particular, the conductive charcoal helps suppress static electricity buildup. Furthermore, charcoal is porous, absorbing moisture when humidity levels rise and releasing moisture when humidity levels fall, providing humidity control. Furthermore, its porous nature allows it to adsorb harmful substances, such as microorganisms and odorous components, providing deodorizing and disinfecting functions. This improves the surrounding environment and allows the tourmaline to steadily generate negative ions. Negative ions are abundant in forests and on beaches, and are generally known to have beneficial effects on the body and mind. Therefore, using this health sheet allows one to enjoy the refreshing sensation of forest bathing, leaving one feeling invigorated. As a result, it is extremely beneficial for the body and mind, and is extremely effective in restoring health, relieving stress, and improving mental well-being.

[0016] Tourmaline, hot spring deposits, and charcoal radiate far-infrared rays, and the addition of hot spring deposits, in particular, creates the same effect as a hot spring bath, improving the heating function. This warms the body, improves blood circulation, and stimulates metabolism. The conductive charcoal also helps to suppress static electricity buildup. Furthermore, charcoal is porous, absorbing moisture when humidity levels rise and releasing moisture when humidity levels drop, providing humidity-regulating properties. Furthermore, its porous nature allows it to adsorb harmful substances such as microorganisms and odorous components, providing deodorizing and disinfecting functions. This improves the surrounding atmosphere, ensuring reliable and stable heating by the hot spring deposits and other materials.

[0017] In this case, it is effective to mix 15 to 30 parts by weight of the tourmaline, 10 to 25 parts by weight of the hot spring deposits, 5 to 20 parts by weight of the charcoal, 0.5 to 2 parts by weight of the salt, and 30 to 60 parts by weight of the binder in the adhered body. Here, the parts by weight are the component ratios of the adhered body determined on a dry basis. This ensures that the functions and effects of the present invention can be achieved.

[0018] To achieve this objective, the health device of the present invention comprises a first sheet that is a health sheet without the tourmaline powder and a second sheet that is a health sheet with the tourmaline powder, and the first and / or second sheets are covered with a fabric cover so that they can be used by contacting the human body. The health device is a broad concept, and can be used for any purpose as long as it can be directly or indirectly contacted with the human body. For example, it includes not only health devices intended to be directly or indirectly contacted with the human body to improve physical health, but also various other uses such as cushions, futons, bed mats, cushions, mattresses, carpets, and other rugs. The same actions and effects as those described above are achieved. In particular, health devices using both the first and second sheets can achieve the synergistic effects of both sheets.

[0019] Alternatively, a health sheet without the above-mentioned tourmaline powder mixed therein is designated as a first sheet, and a health sheet with the above-mentioned tourmaline powder mixed therein is designated as a second sheet, the first sheet is formed into a rectangular shape with a side of 200 mm to 350 mm, the second sheet is formed into a rectangular shape smaller than the first sheet and with a side of 150 mm to 250 mm, one or a plurality of overlapping second sheets are joined to the first sheet so as to be positioned approximately in the center of the first sheet, and the first sheet and second sheet are contained in a cloth cover to form a main mat, a support mat formed to be the same size as or larger than the main mat and containing a cushion member in a bag, to which the first sheet side of the main mat is attached; The health sheet side of the main mat attached to the holding mat is configured to be in contact with the human body so that it can be used.

[0020] Unlike the second sheet, the first sheet does not contain tourmaline. The first sheet is primarily intended to provide a strong backup for the heating function while maintaining the negative ion generation function of the second sheet, thereby significantly improving the heating function.

[0021] As a result, when using this fitness tool, for example, the second sheet side of the main mat attached to the support mat is placed against the abdomen of the person and the support mat is held down with the hands. Alternatively, the fitness tool can be placed on the abdomen while lying on one's back with the second sheet side of the main mat attached to the support mat placed against the abdomen. In this state, the above-mentioned functions of the first and second sheets can be applied to the abdomen of the person. In this case, since the first sheet is formed larger than the second sheet, the negative ions and warming effect of the second sheet are exerted in the center, while the warming function due to the hot spring deposits of the first sheet is exerted more around the second sheet, warming the body and improving blood circulation, further improving physical and mental health. Furthermore, since the main mat is covered with the support mat, it has excellent heat retention, which also warms the body and improves blood circulation, further improving physical and mental health.

[0022] In addition, in the above configuration, there is provided a health tool that can be used as a cushion as needed, The health sheet without the tourmaline powder mixed therein is designated as the first sheet, and the health sheet with the tourmaline powder mixed therein is designated as the second sheet. The first and second sheets are superimposed and supported by a heater mat equipped with an electric heater, and the first and second sheets and the heater mat are housed within a surface cover.

[0023] As a result, when this health device is used, the first and second sheets are heated by a heater mat equipped with an electric heater, which promotes the generation of negative ions and the heating function, thereby warming the body and making it easier to improve blood circulation, thereby further improving the physical and mental health. [Effects of the Invention]

[0024] According to the present invention, the health sheet emits far-infrared rays from the hot spring deposits and charcoal. In particular, the addition of hot spring deposits, due to the effects of the radioactive substances contained therein, can provide the same effect as bathing in a hot spring, improving the warming function. This warms the body, improves blood circulation, and stimulates metabolism. The conductive charcoal also helps to suppress static electricity buildup. Furthermore, charcoal is porous, absorbing moisture when humidity increases and releasing moisture when humidity decreases, providing humidity-regulating functionality. Furthermore, its porous nature allows it to adsorb harmful substances such as microorganisms and odorous components, providing deodorizing and disinfecting functions. This improves the surrounding ambient environment, synergistically enhancing the warming function of the hot spring deposits, ensuring reliable and stable performance.

[0026] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A health sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention and a health tool using the health sheet will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1(a) shows a health sheet K1 (which constitutes the "first sheet S1" described below) according to a first embodiment of the present invention. This health sheet K1 is composed of a base B made of fabric and an adhesive material F that is applied to the base B, then dried and attached thereto.

[0027] The fabric used as the base B may be a knitted fabric, woven fabric, or nonwoven fabric made of natural fibers, chemical fibers, or a mixture of these fibers. In this embodiment, the fabric is formed in a mesh shape with small holes having a maximum width of 3 mm or more arranged in a matrix pattern and an opening rate of 80% or more. However, the fabric is not limited to this.

[0028] The adhesion body F is composed of a mixture of at least hot spring deposit powder, conductive charcoal powder, and a binder for these. In the embodiment, salt powder is also mixed. Note that other components may be mixed as appropriate. The particle size of the powder of each substance is not particularly limited, but for example, powders with a median particle size of 100 μm or less can be used. It is 60 μm or less, preferably 20 μm or less.

[0029] Yunohana is a deposit remaining after evaporation of mineral water containing at least one of radium and radon. In this embodiment, Yunohana collected from Tamagawa Onsen in Shibukurosawa, Tamagawa, Lake Tazawa, Senboku City, Akita Prefecture, is used. Binchotan charcoal made from ubamegashi oak is used as charcoal. Natural salt such as sea salt is used as salt.

[0030] The binder may be any material capable of bonding the powders of the various substances together and adhering them to the fabric of the base B, but in this embodiment, a resin paint is used. Examples of resin paints that may be used include phenolic resin paint, phthalic acid resin paint, vinyl resin paint, polyurethane resin paint, silicone resin paint, and epoxy resin paint.

[0031] The adhesive body F is composed of a mixture of 20 to 40 parts by weight of hot spring deposits, 15 to 30 parts by weight of charcoal, 0.5 to 2 parts by weight of salt, and 30 to 60 parts by weight of binder. Here, the parts by weight are the component ratio of the adhesive body determined on a dry basis.

[0032] The adhesion body F is formed as follows. A solution is first prepared by mixing powders of each substance into a liquid resin paint and stirring it. This solution is then applied to the surface of the fabric in a film thickness of, for example, 10 to 1000 μm. It is then dried to form the adhesion body F. The binder is dried to maintain the adhesion state.

[0033] In this embodiment, the health sheet K1 has a mesh-like pore ratio of 30% to 60%, with 80% or more of the pores having a maximum width of 1 mm to 3 mm. In addition, the health sheet K1 uses a resin paint as a binder, so it feels like a cloth fabric coated with resin, has a pleasant feel, is flexible overall, and is easy to handle.

[0034] Fig. 1(b) shows a health sheet K2 (constituting the "second sheet S2" described below) according to a second embodiment of the present invention. This health sheet K2 is formed in substantially the same manner as the health sheet K1 according to the first embodiment, but differs from it in the structure of the adhesive F that is attached to the base B made of fabric. The adhesive F is composed of a mixture of tourmaline powder and its components.

[0035] Tourmaline is a well-known mineral that is a group name of silicate minerals and is also known as "electric stone" in Japan. Tourmaline generates a weak electric current that electrolyzes water and moisture in the air, generating negative air ions.

[0036] In this embodiment, the adhesive F is composed of a mixture of 10 to 25 parts by weight of hot spring deposits, 5 to 20 parts by weight of charcoal, 0.5 to 2 parts by weight of salt, 15 to 30 parts by weight of tourmaline, and 30 to 60 parts by weight of binder. Here, the parts by weight are the component ratio of the adhesive determined on a dry basis. The other components are the same as those of the health sheet K1 described above.

[0037] Next, a health tool according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in Fig. 2, this health tool M is a mat-like object that is applied directly or indirectly to the human body to improve physical condition, and is constructed using a health sheet K1 (referred to as "first sheet S1") according to a first embodiment of the present invention. This health tool M is constructed by superimposing this health sheet K1 (first sheet S1) on a cushion sheet 1 made of cotton or the like, which is then housed in and covered by a cloth cover C.

[0038] Therefore, when using this fitness device M, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the fitness sheet K1 is placed on the electric anchor 2 with the cushion sheet 1 facing down, and the feet of the fitness device M are placed on the fitness sheet K1 side to warm them. The feet are then warmed by the electric anchor 2 via the fitness sheet K1. In this case, the hot spring deposits and charcoal in the fitness sheet K1 radiate far infrared rays, and the addition of hot spring deposits, in particular, creates the effect of a hot spring bath, improving the heating function. This warms the feet, improving blood circulation and stimulating metabolism. Furthermore, the conductive charcoal helps prevent static electricity buildup. Furthermore, charcoal is porous, absorbing moisture when humidity increases and releasing moisture when humidity decreases, providing humidity-regulating properties. Furthermore, its porous nature allows it to adsorb harmful substances such as microorganisms and odorous components, providing deodorizing and disinfecting properties. This improves the surrounding atmosphere, ensuring reliable and stable heating by the hot spring deposits.

[0039] In particular, the deposit F, the hot spring deposits, is a deposit remaining after evaporation of mineral water containing at least one or both of radium and radon. For example, when radon from the deposits enters the body, the strong ionizing effect of radon is thought to stimulate the body, ionizing the blood and bodily fluids, revitalizing the blood, and providing the same effects as a radon hot spring bath, leaving one feeling refreshed. As a result, it is extremely beneficial for the body and mind, and is extremely effective in restoring health, relieving stress, and improving mental well-being. Furthermore, radium generates radon and other compounds during its radioactive decay. Similar effects can be achieved from the radon generated by the radioactive decay of radium. Furthermore, because radium is a mineral and a solid, it is more stable than radon, which is a gas, and its long half-life allows radon generation to continue for a long period of time.

[0040] Furthermore, since the adhesive F is made by mixing salt powder, the salt itself generates negative ions, which can produce a synergistic effect in combination with other ingredients.Furthermore, the health sheet K1 has a pore rate of 30% to 60% and is formed in a mesh shape with 80% or more of small holes with a maximum width of 1 mm to 3 mm, so the surface area of ​​the adhesive is increased, improving the ambient environment around the adhesive, and further increasing the heating function of the hot spring deposits.

[0041] Furthermore, in this example of use, the electric anchor 2 is used, which further activates the attachment F of the health sheet K1, allowing it to fully demonstrate its function. Of course, the above-mentioned action and effect of the health sheet K1 can be obtained even without using the electric anchor 2. Furthermore, in this example of use, the feet are heated, but this is not necessarily limited to this, and it is of course also possible to heat other parts of the body, such as other parts of the feet, hands, arms, or head.

[0042] Figures 3 to 6 show a fitness tool M according to another embodiment. This fitness tool M is intended to be applied directly or indirectly to the human body to improve physical fitness, and is used by being placed mainly against the abdomen of the human body, as shown in Figure 6. This fitness tool M is composed of a main mat Ms and a holding mat Mh that holds the main mat Ms.

[0043] The main mat Ms is constructed using a health sheet K1 (referred to as the "first sheet S1") according to the first embodiment of the present invention, which does not contain tourmaline powder, and a health sheet K2 (referred to as the "second sheet S2") according to the second embodiment of the present invention, which does contain tourmaline powder. Specifically, the first sheet S1 is formed in a rectangular shape with sides measuring 200 mm to 350 mm, while the second sheet S2 is formed in a rectangular shape smaller than the first sheet S1, with sides measuring 150 mm to 250 mm. One or more overlapping second sheets S2 are joined to the first sheet S1 so as to be positioned approximately in the center of the first sheet S1, and the main mat Ms is constructed by encasing the first sheet S1 and the second sheet S2 in a fabric cover C.

[0044] The retaining mat Mh is formed to be the same size as or larger than the main mat Ms, for example, in a rectangular shape with one side measuring 250 mm to 450 mm (in the embodiment, it is formed to be larger than the main mat Ms), and is formed by containing a cushion member 4 in a bag 3. The main mat Ms has its first sheet S1 side attached to the retaining mat Mh, and the fitness tool M is formed by containing the main mat Ms and the retaining mat Mh in an outer bag 5.

[0045] If the main mat Ms is attached to the holding mat Mh by an attachment means, the outer bag 5 does not need to be provided. As the attachment means, various means can be used, such as a hook-and-loop fastener having one part with a hook and the other part with a loop to which the hook can be attached or a button, a hook, or the like.

[0046] Therefore, when using this fitness tool M, for example, the health sheet K2 side of the main mat Ms attached to the support mat Mh is placed against the abdomen of the human body and the support mat Mh side is pressed down with the hand, as shown in Fig. 6. Alternatively, the fitness tool M may be placed on the abdomen while lying on one's back and the health sheet K2 side of the main mat Ms attached to the support mat Mh is placed against the abdomen of the human body. In this state, the first sheet S1 as the health sheet K1 and the second sheet S2 as the health sheet K2 can function on the abdomen of the human body.

[0047] Specifically, the second sheet S2, which functions as the health sheet K2 positioned on the human body side, contains tourmaline, which generates negative ions. The charcoal itself also generates negative ions, which, combined with the tourmaline, produce a negative ion effect. In particular, the conductive charcoal helps suppress static electricity buildup. Furthermore, charcoal is porous, absorbing moisture when humidity levels rise and releasing moisture when humidity levels fall, providing humidity control. Furthermore, its porous nature allows it to adsorb harmful substances such as microorganisms and odorous components, providing deodorizing and disinfecting functions. This improves the surrounding environment and allows the tourmaline to steadily generate negative ions. Negative ions are abundant in forests and on beaches, and are generally known to have beneficial effects on the body and mind. Therefore, using this health device M allows you to enjoy the refreshing sensation of forest bathing, leaving you feeling invigorated. As a result, it is extremely beneficial for the body and mind, and is extremely effective in restoring health, relieving stress, and improving mental well-being.

[0048] Tourmaline, hot spring deposits, and charcoal radiate far-infrared rays, and the addition of hot spring deposits, in particular, creates the same effect as a hot spring bath, improving the heating function. This warms the body, improves blood circulation, and stimulates metabolism. The conductive charcoal also helps to suppress static electricity buildup. Furthermore, charcoal is porous, absorbing moisture when humidity levels rise and releasing moisture when humidity levels drop, providing humidity-regulating properties. Furthermore, its porous nature allows it to adsorb harmful substances such as microorganisms and odorous components, providing deodorizing and disinfecting functions. This improves the surrounding atmosphere, ensuring reliable and stable heating by the hot spring deposits and other materials.

[0049] In particular, the deposits of hot spring deposits F are deposits remaining after evaporation of the water content of mineral spring water containing at least one or both of radium and radon, so that when radon from the deposits enters the body, the strong ionizing effect of radon is thought to stimulate the body, for example, ionizing the blood and bodily fluids and activating the blood, and one can expect the same effects as bathing in a radon hot spring, invigorating the mood, improving the comfort of sleep, and allowing for a comfortable sleep. As a result, it is extremely beneficial for the body and mind, and is extremely effective in restoring health, relieving stress, and improving mental well-being.

[0050] Furthermore, radium generates radon during its radioactive decay. The radon generated by the radioactive decay of radium also has the same effect as above. Furthermore, because radium is a mineral and a solid, it is more stable than radon, which is a gas, and has a longer half-life, so radon generation can be maintained for a long period of time.

[0051] Furthermore, since the attachment F is made by mixing salt powder, the salt itself generates negative ions, and in no small measure, it can exert a synergistic effect in combination with tourmaline and other elements.

[0052] Furthermore, in the main mat Ms, the first sheet S1 (health sheet K1) is made larger than the second sheet S2 (health sheet K2), so that the negative ions and warming effect of the second sheet S2 (health sheet K2) are exerted in the center, while the heating function caused by the hot spring deposits of the first sheet S1 (health sheet K1) is exerted from the periphery of the second sheet S2 (health sheet K2), warming the body and facilitating improved blood circulation, further improving the physical and mental health. Furthermore, since the main mat Ms is covered with the support mat Mh, it has an excellent heat retention effect, which also warms the body and facilitates improved blood circulation, further improving the physical and mental health.

[0053] Fig. 7 shows a fitness tool M used as a cushion according to yet another embodiment. This fitness tool M is also composed of a health sheet K1 (referred to as "first sheet S1") according to the first embodiment of the present invention, which does not contain tourmaline powder, and a health sheet K2 (referred to as "second sheet S2") according to the second embodiment of the present invention, which does contain tourmaline powder.

[0054] Specifically, the health sheet K1 (first sheet S1) and the health sheet K2 (second sheet S2) are housed separately in cloth covers Ca and Cb, respectively, and are stacked inside the covers Ca and Cb. The first sheet S1 and the second sheet S2 may be housed together in a single cloth cover. The first sheet S1 is larger than the second sheet S2, and the covers Ca and Cb are accordingly different in size. The first sheet S1 and the second sheet S2 housed in the covers Ca and Cb are covered with a filling material 6 such as cotton in a stacked state, and are supported by a heater mat 8 containing an electric heater 7 and cushioning material (not shown). These are then housed inside a surface cover 9.

[0055] As a result, the same actions and effects as those described above can be achieved by using this fitness tool M. In particular, the first sheet S1 and the second sheet S2 are heated by the heater mat 8 equipped with the electric heater 7, which promotes the generation of negative ions and the heating function, thereby warming the body and improving blood circulation, thereby further improving the physical and mental health.

[0056] FIG. 8 shows a fitness device M according to another embodiment. This fitness device M is a rug that can be placed on a mattress or bed to lie on, and is, for example, approximately 500 mm wide and 1500 mm long. This fitness device M is formed by covering a second sheet S2 (health sheet K2) between two pieces of cloth 10 together with a filling material 11 such as cotton, interlining, or wool waste, and stitching the resulting material with a sewing machine or by hand, using a so-called quilting technique. When using and lying on this fitness device M, the tourmaline, hot spring deposits, and charcoal synergistically generate negative ions and provide heat, as described above.

[0057] FIG. 9 shows a fitness tool M according to another embodiment. This fitness tool M is to be worn by inserting it into the human foot, starting from the toes. A first sheet S1 as a fitness sheet K1 is sandwiched between and covered with cloth 12, and then formed into a cylindrical shape so that it can be worn on the foot. The ends are sewn together by a sewing machine or by hand. When this fitness tool M is used and worn on the foot, it provides the same heat-retaining action and effect as described above using the hot spring deposits and charcoal. For example, when used while sleeping, the feet are warmed and a sound sleep is achieved.

[0058] The fitness device M according to the above embodiment is described as a foot mat, a stomach mat, a cushion mat, a mattress on which to lie down on a futon or bed, or a cylindrical object to be worn over the feet, with the aim of improving the physical condition by directly or indirectly applying the fitness sheet K1 and / or K2 to the human body. However, the fitness device M may also be applied to various mat-like objects in a broader sense, such as futons, bed mats, cushions, mattresses, carpets, and other mats. Furthermore, the fitness device M may be attached to or used as an interior of various objects, such as chairs, seats, shoe soles, stationery, knee pads, elbow pads, and lumbar supporters, and accessories. In short, the fitness device M may be applied to any object that can be directly or indirectly touched by a person, and modifications may be made as appropriate. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many modifications may be made to these exemplary embodiments without substantially departing from the novel teachings and effects of the present invention, and such modifications are within the scope of the present invention.
