Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a gua sha with an acupressure stick. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, technologies related to massage rods (acupressure rods) and kassa (water swabs) have been available in the beauty industry. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-000285 (Patent Document 1) discloses a qigong massage rod comprising a massage rod body, a rod-shaped body, a rolling element, and a pipe. The massage rod body has a continuous ring-shaped longitudinal ridge, and the rod-shaped body protrudes from both ends of the massage rod body. The rolling elements are connected to the ends of the rod-shaped body, and the pipes are rotatably fitted to the rod-shaped bodies at both ends. It is used for practicing internal qigong, and the diameter of the rolling element is larger than the outer diameter of the massage rod body. This allows even elderly people to easily achieve results from the practice, contributing to the maintenance of health and treatment of illnesses for the elderly and reducing medical expenses for the elderly.

[0003] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2007-144193 (Patent Document 2) discloses a massage tool comprising a main body and a friction edge. The main body has a handle hole in the center, and the friction edge is provided on the outer periphery of the main body. The massage tool also has curved protrusions and recesses, and the edge is multi-stepped. This provides a simple structure that is easy to grip, allowing anyone, regardless of gender, to easily perform a massage without feeling significant pain. Furthermore, the tool claims that muscle massage can have effects such as promoting blood circulation, relaxing muscles, and preventing adhesions, and can prevent obesity by breaking down fatty tissue, maintain body shape, and manage facial contours and skin.

[0004] Furthermore, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2017-074340 (Patent Document 3) discloses a massage device. Here, the massage device has a structure in which three or more convex protrusions are attached to the cut portion of a thick, hollow hemisphere. As a result, when the convex protrusions come into contact with the body, a compressive force is generated, and the tips of the protrusions exert a pressure stimulation effect. Furthermore, it is said that if the shape of the protrusions is wavy and the tips are rounded, it will be possible to provide a gentle and comfortable massage against the skin surface.

[0005] Furthermore, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2024-062781 (Patent Document 4) discloses a Gua Sha device and a method for manufacturing the same. The Gua Sha device is used to improve blood circulation in a target area of ​​the body by rubbing the skin surface while applying pressure. The Gua Sha device is a ceramic ware made from Okinawan clay, Kucha clay, and fired in an unglazed state. The device itself is flat. When pressed against the skin surface, the Gua Sha device promotes blood circulation in the target area while simultaneously absorbing sebum from the skin surface or removing dirt by exfoliating the skin surface. This makes it easier to handle than a mud pack, and the blood circulation-promoting properties of Gua Sha therapy, combined with the chemical adsorption and abrasive properties of Kucha clay, are said to enhance beauty and skin-beautifying effects.

[0007] Until now, there have been no massage tools that combine a massage stick and a gua sha, and it was necessary to switch between the two depending on the purpose of use. For busy modern people, switching between tools takes time and effort, which has hindered the continuation of daily skin care. Furthermore, many people are unable to adequately care for their skin and appearance, which can be a concern with aging, due to their busy daily schedules. Therefore, skin care requires not only an approach to the entire face, but also detailed treatment of specific areas such as the eyes, mouth, and nose.

[0008] However, there is no device that combines a massage stick and a gua sha, and there is a problem that one device cannot provide detailed treatment. Here, the technologies described in the above-mentioned Patent Documents 1-4 are either massage sticks or gua sha devices, and cannot solve the above-mentioned problem.

[0009] Therefore, the present invention was made to solve these problems, and aims to provide a gua sha with an acupressure stick that eliminates the hassle of using separate devices for facial massage and acupressure, and performs both functions in one, making it easy to provide detailed care tailored to an individual's skin type and specific areas of concern. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] The gua sha with acupressure rod according to the present invention comprises a gua sha main body, a tapered portion, acupressure portion, and an elastic member. The gua sha main body is flat in plan view, and the tapered portion is provided at one end of the gua sha main body in a curved shape corresponding to the surface area of ​​the face, tapering outward. The acupressure portion is formed as a rod with a hemispherical tip and is arranged at a specific end of the gua sha main body other than the tapered portion so that it can move in and out along the longitudinal direction of the gua sha main body. An elastic member is provided inside the gua sha main body and biases the tip of the acupressure portion outward with a predetermined elastic force. A user holds the gua sha main body and presses the tapered portion of the gua sha main body against the surface area of ​​the user's face to improve blood circulation in the surface area, and presses the tip of the acupressure portion against the acupressure point on the user's body to stimulate the acupressure point. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] This invention eliminates the hassle of using separate devices for facial massage and acupressure, and by performing both functions in one, it becomes possible to easily provide detailed care tailored to individual skin types and specific areas of concern.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The following describes embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings to help understand the present invention. Note that the following embodiments are examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention.

[0014] First Embodiment

[0015] First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in Figure 1, the gua sha with acupressure rod 1 according to the first embodiment comprises a gua sha body 10, a tapered portion 11, an acupressure portion 12, and an elastic member 13.

[0016] Here, the gua sha main body 10 is formed flat in a planar view, and the tapered portion 11 is provided at one end 10a of the gua sha main body 10 in a curved shape corresponding to the surface area of ​​the face, and is tapered outward.

[0017] In the gua sha with acupressure rod 1 according to the first embodiment, the gua sha main body 10 has a wing-like shape, and three tapered portions 11 are formed on the curved periphery of the wing of the gua sha main body 10. The first tapered portion 11a is located on the left side of the gua sha main body 10 and is a smooth, mountain-like straight curve, the second tapered portion 11b is located on the upper side of the gua sha main body 10 and is a double mountain-like curve, and the third tapered portion 11c is located on the right side of the gua sha main body 10 and is a two smooth, arched curve. The gua sha with acupressure rod 1 according to the first embodiment has three differently curved tapered portions 11, allowing the user to use the three differently curved tapered portions 11 according to the purpose of use, adapting them to the complex curves of the skin and smoothing the skin.

[0018] The straight curve of the first tapered portion 11a is ideal for treating a wide area of ​​the face, providing a gentle stimulation with a light touch, allowing for quick application across a wide area of ​​skin, such as the cheeks and jawline. The double curve of the second tapered portion 11b is a finely curved, inclined shape, making it ideal for treating areas under the chin and around the eyes, while the gently pointed curve is convenient for pressing and stimulating the skin in a pinpoint manner. Furthermore, the arched curve of the third tapered portion 11c is gently curved, making it ideal for treating a wide area with curves, such as from the cheeks to the ears and the nape of the neck. Thus, the acupressure stick-equipped kassa 1 according to the first embodiment is designed to allow for delicate application to small areas of the face, and the above-mentioned shape makes it easy to reach areas of concern, such as the eyes, mouth, and nose.

[0019] Furthermore, the acupressure unit 12 has a tip 12a formed in a hemispherical rod shape, and is arranged so that it can move in and out along the longitudinal direction of the gua sha main body 10 at a specific other end 10b other than the tapered portion 11 of the gua sha main body 10. Here, since the gua sha main body 10 has a feather-like shape and the tapered portion 11 is provided on the periphery of the feather of the gua sha main body 10, the specific other end 10b corresponds to, for example, the base of the feather of the gua sha main body 10, and the acupressure unit 12 is arranged so that it can move in and out from the base of the feather of the gua sha main body 10 along the longitudinal direction of the feather.

[0020] The elastic member 13 is provided inside the gua sha main body 10 and biases the tip 12a of the acupressure part 12 outward with a predetermined elastic force. Here, since the elastic member 13 is built into the gua sha main body 10, it cannot be seen from the outside, but the elastic force of the elastic member 13 can be sensed by pressing the tip 12a of the acupressure part 12 from the outside toward the inside. In this device, the elastic member 13 can repeatedly stimulate the skin, and is designed to deliver a comfortable stimulation to each part of the face.

[0021] Here, the elastic force is preferably a force that provides a comfortable stimulation when pressing the acupoint, and is preferably set within a range of, for example, 0.5 kgf to 2.0 kgf. This makes it possible to provide a comfortable but not painful stimulation when the acupoint pressing unit 12 is placed against the acupoint.

[0022] As shown in Figure 2, the gua sha with acupressure rod 1 of the first embodiment allows the user U to hold the gua sha main body 10 and press the tapered portion 11 of the gua sha main body 10 against a surface area S of the user U's face, thereby improving blood circulation in the surface area S.

[0023] Here, the surface region S refers to the cheeks, face line, under the chin, around the eyes, the nape of the neck, the décolleté, and the scalp, as shown in Fig. 2. Specifically, it includes the zygomatic major muscle, zygomatic minor muscle, levator anguli oris muscle, nasal muscle, levator labii superioris muscle, levator ala labii superioris muscle, sternocleidomastoid muscle, and areas around the clavicle. Here, the user U can firmly contact the tapered portion 11 with these muscles and apply a firm pressure to relieve stiffness in these muscles and improve blood circulation.

[0024] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, the gua sha with acupoint pressing rod 1 of the first embodiment allows the user U to stimulate an acupoint P on the user U's body by pressing the tip 12a of the acupoint pressing portion 12 against the acupoint P.

[0025] 3, the acupressure points P correspond to areas of the facial muscles where stiffness tends to accumulate and points where blood circulation should be promoted, and specifically include acupressure points such as the zygomatic major muscle, zygomatic minor muscle, levator anguli oris muscle, nasal muscles, levator labii superioris muscle, levator labii alae naris superioris muscle, sternocleidomastoid muscle, and areas around the clavicle. Here, it is preferable that the user U applies the acupressure pressing unit 12 perpendicular to the skin and repeatedly stimulates each acupressure point P at a rhythm of twice per second within a range of 10 to 30 seconds.

[0026] This eliminates the hassle of using separate devices for facial massage and acupressure, and by performing both functions in one unit, it becomes possible to easily provide detailed care tailored to an individual's skin type and specific areas of concern.

[0027] That is, conventionally, the user U has to prepare a facial massage tool and an acupressure tool separately, which makes it difficult for the user U to use them during busy times such as in the morning. Also, the user U has to switch between the tools, which is time-consuming to use two different tools, and reduces the efficiency of the treatment.

[0028] Therefore, in this invention, by incorporating the acupressure section 12 into the gua sha main body 10, both the facial massage and acupressure functions can be performed continuously with the same device, thereby improving convenience for the user U.

[0029] For example, in the past, if a user U had to use two different types of equipment, it would take several minutes to switch between the equipment. However, with the present invention, the user U only needs to prepare one type of equipment, and it only takes a few seconds to switch between the equipment. This significantly improves the convenience for the user U.

[0030] Furthermore, in this invention, the acupressure section 12 is seamlessly built into the gua sha main body 10, making it easy to use and having a good appearance, and allowing the user U to use it without feeling uncomfortable wherever they carry it.

[0031] There are no particular limitations on the material of the gua sha main body 10, and any type of material can be used, such as resin, wood, metal (e.g., zinc alloy), or ceramic. There are also no particular limitations on the shape of the gua sha main body 10, and it can have, for example, a feather-like shape as described above, or other shapes as described below. There are also no particular limitations on the surface of the gua sha main body 10, and it can be metal-plated (e.g., zinc-plated), anodized (anodized aluminum treatment), blackened (iron tetroxide coating), chemical conversion coating, shot blasting, sand blasting, polishing, painting (powder coating, baking coating, etc.), resin coating, Teflon (registered trademark), ceramic coating, nitriding, carburizing, etc.

[0032] Here, for example, the acupressure bar-equipped gua sha 1 according to the first embodiment can combine functionality and aesthetics by forming the outer surface of the gua sha main body 10 from a metallic silver-colored metal material. Furthermore, since the acupressure bar-equipped gua sha 1 according to the first embodiment has a relatively small size of the gua sha main body 10, the compact configuration makes it highly portable and easy to use on the go.

[0033] Furthermore, there is no particular limitation on the shape of the tip of the tapered portion 11, but for example, considering the use of the kassa, the tip of the tapered portion 11 may have a pointed and rounded shape. Furthermore, as described above, the shape of the tapered portion 11 is not particularly limited as long as it is a curved shape that corresponds to the surface of the face, and a wide variety of curved shapes can be adopted.

[0034] Furthermore, there are no particular limitations on the configuration of the acupressure portion 12 and the elastic member 13, but for example, as shown in Figure 1, the acupressure portion 12 has a hemispherical tip 12a and a disk-like or plate-like base 12b that extends outward (for example, flange-like), and a specific other end 10b of the gua sha main body 10 is provided with a cylindrical opening 10c through which the base 12b of the acupressure portion 12 can enter and exit. In addition, an elastic member 13 is provided between the opening 10c of the gua sha main body 10 and the base end 12b of the acupressure portion 12, and a lid portion 12d having an insertion hole 12c through which the tip end 12a of the acupressure portion 12 can be inserted is provided at a specific other end 10b of the gua sha main body 10, and by fixing the lid portion 12d to the opening 10c, the tip end 12a of the acupressure portion 12 can move in and out through the insertion hole 12c of the lid portion 12d, and the base end 12b of the acupressure portion 12 is urged outward by the elastic member 13, so that the tip end 12a of the acupressure portion 12 can be urged outward with a predetermined elastic force.

[0035] There is no particular limitation on the material of the acupressure part 12, and any kind of material can be used, such as resin, wood, metal (e.g., zinc alloy), ceramic, etc. Similarly to the above, there is no particular limitation on the surface of the acupressure part 12. There is no particular limitation on the type of elastic member 13, and any kind can be used, such as a coil spring, leaf spring, or T-shaped spring.

[0036] Furthermore, in addition to the above-mentioned elements, other elements may be added to the acupressure bar-attached gua sha 1 according to the first embodiment. For example, a detachable element such as a magnet or an electric element to the elastic member 13 can be added to the acupressure bar-attached gua sha 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0037] Second Embodiment

[0038] Next, a second embodiment will be described. As shown in Figure 4, the gua sha with acupressure rod 1 according to the second embodiment has a large rectangular gua sha body 10 and three acupressure rods 12.

[0039] Specifically, the gua sha main body 10 has a rectangular shape with gently tapered left and right sides, and three tapered portions 11 are formed on the curved left and right sides of the gua sha main body 10 and on the curved top surface of the gua sha main body 10. The first tapered portion 11a and the second tapered portion 11b are located on the left and right sides of the gua sha main body 10 and are two smooth arched curves, while the third tapered portion 11c is located on the top side of the gua sha main body 10 and is two mountain-shaped double curves.

[0040] The kassa with acupressure stick 1 according to the second embodiment also has two types of curved tapered portions 11, allowing the user U to use one tool with the two types of curved tapered portions 11 depending on the purpose of use, allowing the tool to fit complex skin curves and smooth the skin, as shown in Fig. 5. In particular, the third tapered portion 11c has a double curve that forms a V-shape to smooth out small areas.

[0041] Here, the acupressure stick-equipped gua sha 1 according to the second embodiment has two types of curves, an arched curve and a double curve, such as the first tapered portion 11a, the second tapered portion 11b, and the third tapered portion 11c. The arched curve can be slid upward along the cheeks to promote lymphatic flow throughout the face, while the double curve is ideal for small areas such as around the eyebrows and the bridge of the nose. For example, the acupressure stick-equipped gua sha 1 according to the second embodiment can be applied to a wide range of areas, such as the scalp, face, neck, décolleté, and shoulders, using various types of tapered portions 11, allowing the user U to easily care for the area at their convenience, such as after bathing or while relaxing. Furthermore, the user can press the tapered portion 11 against the skin even after applying a beauty serum or cream, or even over a face pack.

[0042] In addition, three acupressure units 12 are arranged in parallel on the lower side of the gua sha main body 10, and the three acupressure units 12 are configured to be applicable to a wide range of skin and to be able to press delicately even in small areas. In particular, by arranging the three acupressure units 12 in parallel, for example, as shown in Fig. 6, the user U can place the three acupressure units 12 on areas of concern around the face such as the scalp, eyes, mouth, and nose, and even the décolleté line, and firmly press down to loosen the muscles.

[0043] Here, there is no particular limitation on how to use the acupressure unit 12, but for example, the user can effectively stimulate the muscles by placing three acupressure units 12 against the skin at a predetermined angle and repeatedly pressing one area of ​​the skin at a rhythm of once to twice per second for a range of 10 to 30 seconds.

[0044] There is no particular limitation on the elastic force of the three acupressure portions 12, but for example, the elastic force of the three acupressure portions 12 may all be the same or different. For example, the elastic force of the acupressure portions 12 on both sides may be weaker than the elastic force of the central acupressure portion 12, or conversely, the elastic force of the acupressure portions 12 on both sides may be stronger than the elastic force of the central acupressure portion 12. This makes it possible to apply various stimuli to the skin using the elastic forces of the three acupressure portions 12.

[0045] Incidentally, there is no particular limitation on the shape of the gua sha main body 10 of the gua sha with acupressure rod 1 according to the first embodiment, and as shown in Fig. 1, the gua sha main body 10 may be shaped like a feather, or as shown in Fig. 7, depending on the area to which the tapered portion 11 is applied and the purpose of use, it may be shaped like a Y, a rectangle, a fish, a small feather, an eyebrow, a comma-shaped bead, a spatula, a cone, a stick, or a butterfly. Other shapes that may be used include, for example, a comb, a wave, a heart, or a miniature shape.

[0046] Furthermore, there is no particular limit to the number of acupoint pressing parts 12 of the kassa with acupoint pressing rod 1 according to the first embodiment, and it is possible to have three acupoint pressing parts 12 as shown in Fig. 4, or two, four, or five acupoint pressing parts 12 as shown in Fig. 8, or it is also possible to increase the number of acupoint pressing parts 12. This allows for a wider range of target areas and allows for delicate pressing even on small areas.

[0047] The shapes of the gua sha main body 10 and the tapered portion 11 may be changed as appropriate depending on the number of acupressure portions 12. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when there are two acupressure portions 12, the gua sha main body 10 has a rice grain shape, is elongated, and has rounded ends, and the tapered portion 11 has a rice grain shape or an elongated mountain shape. When there are four acupressure portions 12, the gua sha main body 10 has a heart shape, with a concave upper portion and a wider lower portion. The tapered portion 11 has an asymmetrical mountain shape with a concave portion. When there are five acupressure portions 12, the gua sha main body 10 has an apple shape, is generally rounded, and has a concave or protrusion in some areas. The tapered portion 11 has a curved, symmetrical mountain shape.

[0048] Here, there is no particular limitation on the total weight of the acupressure bar-attached gua sha 1 according to the present invention, but for example, it is preferable that the total weight of the acupressure bar-attached gua sha 1 be within the range of 50 g to 140 g. By making the total weight of the acupressure bar-attached gua sha 1 moderate enough to be held in one hand, the user can firmly press both the tapered portion 11 and the acupressure bar-attached portion 12 against the skin, improving the feeling of use and enabling continuous use for long periods of time even when used with one hand.

[0049] Here, the effects of different weights of the acupressure bar-equipped gua sha 1 will be explained. First, a prototype was made of the acupressure bar-equipped gua sha 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the material of the gua sha main body 10 of the acupressure bar-equipped gua sha 1 was resin, and the acupressure bar-equipped gua sha 1 with a total weight of 35 g was designated Comparative Example 1. Furthermore, the material of the gua sha main body 10 of the acupressure bar-equipped gua sha 1 was stainless steel, and the acupressure bar-equipped gua sha 1 with a total weight of 150 g was designated Comparative Example 2. Meanwhile, the material of the gua sha main body 10 of the acupressure bar-equipped gua sha 1 was zinc alloy, and the acupressure bar-equipped gua sha 1 with a total weight of 115 g was designated Example 1.

[0050] When a user used Comparative Example 1 as a gua sha, they evaluated that the weight of the gua sha with acupressure bar 1 was too light and that it was not able to thoroughly loosen muscle stiffness. The same was true for the acupressure part 12. When a user used Comparative Example 2 as a gua sha, they evaluated that the weight of the gua sha with acupressure bar 1 was too heavy and that it was not possible to hold it in one hand for a long time, causing hand fatigue. The same was true for the acupressure part 12.

[0051] On the other hand, when a user used Example 1 as a gua sha, the user evaluated that the weight of the gua sha with acupressure stick 1 was appropriate, and that the user could firmly press both the tapered portion 11 and the acupressure portion 12 against the skin. Furthermore, the user evaluated that the acupressure portion 12 was also comfortable to use, as it could be used continuously for more than an hour even with one hand. Furthermore, the acupressure portion 12 was also evaluated as comfortable to use.

[0052] Next, a prototype of a gua sha 1 with acupressure bar according to the second embodiment was produced. As shown in Fig. 10, the material of the gua sha main body 10 of the gua sha 1 with acupressure bar was changed to resin, and the gua sha 1 with acupressure bar was made into a total weight of 45g, which was designated Comparative Example 3. On the other hand, the material of the gua sha main body 10 of the gua sha 1 with acupressure bar was changed to zinc alloy, and the gua sha 1 with acupressure bar was made into a total weight of 115g, which was designated Example 2.

[0053] When a user used Comparative Example 3 as a gua sha, the user evaluated that the weight of the gua sha with acupressure bar 1 was too light and that it was unable to thoroughly loosen muscle stiffness, similar to Comparative Example 1. On the other hand, when a user used Example 2 as a gua sha, the user evaluated that the weight of the gua sha with acupressure bar 1 was appropriate, similar to Example 1, and that the user could firmly press both the tapered portion 11 and the acupressure portion 12 against the skin, and that the user could use it continuously for more than one hour even with one hand, resulting in a good usability.

[0054] In this way, if the total weight of the gua sha with acupressure rod 1 according to the present invention is within the range of 50g to 140g, the user can press both the tapered portion 11 and the acupressure portion 12 firmly against the skin, improving the feeling of use and enabling it to be used continuously for long periods of time even with one hand.

[0055] In this way, the gua sha with acupressure stick 1 of the present invention eliminates the hassle of using separate devices for facial massage and acupressure, and by performing both functions in one, it becomes possible to easily provide detailed care according to an individual's skin type and specific areas of concern. Furthermore, because the gua sha with acupressure stick 1 of the present invention is lightweight and highly portable, users can easily perform daily care, and it is also effective in fields such as beauty, health, relaxation, and nursing care. [Industrial Applicability]

[0056] As described above, this device is useful for a wide range of applications, including facial massage and acupressure according to individual skin type and area, as well as treatments at beauty salons and esthetic salons.It is effective as a kasha with an acupressure stick that can perform both functions in one, eliminating the hassle of using separate tools for facial massage and acupressure.
