A massage device that can be used at bedtime to relieve muscle stiffness in the back of the head, the sides of the human neck, and the chest

Abstract

To provide a massage device having a pressure contact effect on the "subgate (depression of the pelvis)" at bedtime. 【Solution means】The massage device has an elastic spherical protrusion 2 at the topmost part of a resin U-shaped main shaft body 1, resin protrusions 3 and 4 for pressure contact with the neck side part inside the resin U-shaped main shaft body 1, and a resin protrusion 5 for pressure contact with the chest downward at the release handle part of the resin U-shaped main shaft body 1.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention is a massager devised for the purpose of relieving muscle stiffness in the back of the head (a part commonly referred to as the "hollow of the pelvis"), the left and right sides of the neck, and the upper part of the nipples of the chest, promoting blood circulation, improving the autonomic nervous system, and activating the activity of the lymphatic nerves by utilizing the weight of one's own head even during sleep.

Background Art

[0002] The spindle of the alphabet "U - shaped" is integrally molded with a resin material, and a spherical protrusion made of an elastic material is provided upward at the top of this spindle. While using this by pressing it against the back of the head, two resin - made spherical protrusions are formed on each of the left and right sides of the curved part of the "U - shaped" spindle, and by applying pressure to both sides of the human neck, it is structured to obtain the effect of relieving muscle and tendon stiffness in the neck. Also, one spherical protrusion similar to that of the neck is provided on each side, downward, at a position slightly inside from the entrance part of the spindle "U - shaped", and by pressing this, it is also possible to relieve muscle stiffness in the chest. A stretchable band is provided at the entrance part of the spindle so that the width and strength of the neck pressure can be adjusted.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] In modern society, with the rapid progress of IT, the amount of work that involves sitting for long hours while operating a personal computer or other tasks that strain the eyes has increased. Among the upper body, the burden on the chest muscles and neck has increased rapidly, and as a result, eye fatigue and autonomic nerve disorders caused by neck stiffness have been reported. However, in this invention, among the neck muscles, a particularly elastic material with an upward protrusion of the device is used at the part where nerves called the "hollow of the pelvis" are concentrated. It is sandwiched between a pillow used at bedtime and the "headrest" provided in automobiles and office chairs, and the purpose is to relieve it by the weight of one's own head and pressure on the neck.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] It relieved the stiffness of the chest muscles and neck muscles caused by long hours of sitting work or PC input work, etc., awakened a sense of refreshment around the neck, and at the same time improved eye fatigue and increased the sleep effect by using it for a long time at bedtime, and enhanced the light feeling of the head nerves the next morning.

Effects of the Invention

[0007] Although many such manual massage devices are commercially available and widespread, all of them are in the form of being manually operated by one's own will while awake, and no invention has been made with the aim of obtaining an effect even during sleep. However, this invention effectively utilizes the unconscious time of "bedtime" that everyone needs, uses the "lever principle" with the weight of one's own head as the point of action, and applies an appropriate stimulus to the part called the "hollow of the pelvis" where the most nerves gather in the neck, making it possible to relieve the stiffness in parts that have been difficult to massage by finger pressure. In addition, by using the "strength adjustment belt" with width adjustment for the four protrusions inside the main shaft part even during sleep, it becomes possible to freely obtain the effect and obtain the effect of gradually relieving the stiffness around the neck.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] The massage device created by the present invention is manufactured by an integral molding technique using acrylic or plastic resin. A rod-shaped protrusion with a diameter of about 9 mm and a length of about 20 mm is molded upward at this top, and a rubber-like spherical member with elasticity is inserted here. The "belt for adjusting width and strength" provided inside the handle at the entrance part of the U-shaped body is a belt with elasticity. One side is fixed, and the other side can be adjusted in a detachable manner.

Example

[0010] By sandwiching the elastic spherical protrusion protruding upward at the top of the U-shaped spindle between the pillow used when going to bed and the "hollow of the pelvis" part at the back of the head and lying on the back, a natural pressing state is generated by the weight of one's own head, and this can maintain a state similar to the "acupressure treatment" of massage for a long time.

Industrial Applicability

[0011] The present invention enables a pressing state of the "hollow of the pelvis" that is completely different from the manual massage devices currently sold on the market. Furthermore, it is also characterized by being usable even during sleep. It is an invention that can greatly contribute to the relaxation of the conditions of many people who suffer from stiff neck, autonomic nerve disorders, or eye fatigue. If commercialized, it is expected that there will be a very large number of people interested in its use.
