[0033] The pressure point road cover of the present invention is a pressure point road cover comprising a biodegradable polymer and includes a fragrance discharge portion.

[0034] In order to prevent damage to the acupressure rod and to solve hygiene problems that may occur when foreign substances get stuck between the acupressure protrusions of the acupressure rod, the acupressure rod cover of the present invention is provided.

[0035] The pressure point rod cover of the present invention is a cover that covers the space between pressure point protrusions. For its function as a cover, it is preferable that it be made of a polymer material. Since disposal after a certain period of use is essential and, considering that its size is not small, it is proposed that the pressure point rod cover be made of a biodegradable polymer to prevent environmental pollution caused by disposal.

[0036] In the case of polymer resins, they are suitable for delivering the beneficial effects of acupressure protrusions while also providing durability and anti-contamination functions. In particular, since polymer resins possess a certain level of flexibility and variability, they can be effective for covering acupressure protrusions of various shapes.

[0037] Meanwhile, the acupressure rod cover of the present invention includes a fragrance discharge section, which may be regularly or irregularly arranged on the upper surface of the acupressure rod cover. The fragrance discharge section may also cover the entire surface of the acupressure rod cover.

[0038] When walking on the acupressure road, stepping on the scent emission part may cause the inherent fragrance substances to be emitted. This can further promote the use of the acupressure road and differentiate it from existing acupressure roads.

[0040] The above-mentioned biodegradable polymer may comprise one or more selected from the group consisting of polylactic acid (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), and polyglycolic acid (PGA). However, it is not limited to the above-mentioned biodegradable polymers; any biodegradable polymer having sufficient durability, flexibility, and shrinkage to function as a pressure point road cover is applicable, and in particular, any biodegradable polymer capable of natural decomposition is not limited to the biodegradable polymers listed above.

[0041] In addition, while it may be desirable to be made of 100% biodegradable polymers in terms of eco-friendliness, it may include a certain level of non-biodegradable polymers for other necessary functions such as durability. In particular, including non-biodegradable polymers at a level permitted by environmental regulations does not impair the purpose of the present invention and is considered to fall within the scope of the pressure rod cover of the present invention.

[0043] The thickness of the pressure point rod cover may be 0.2 cm to 2 cm.

[0044] If the thickness of the acupressure rod cover is thinner than 0.2 cm, there may be a problem with reduced durability and failure to provide protection for the acupressure rod and acupressure protrusions, and if the thickness of the acupressure rod cover is thicker than 2 cm, there may be a problem with the effect of the acupressure protrusions not being transmitted to the soles of the feet, and there may be a problem with the acupressure rod cover not adhering to the shapes of the various acupressure protrusions.

[0045] The thickness of the acupressure rod cover is 0.2 cm to 1.8 cm, 0.2 cm to 1.6 cm, 0.2 cm to 1.4 cm, 0.2 cm to 1.2 cm, 0.2 cm to 1.0 cm, 0.2 cm to 0.8 cm, 0.2 cm to 0.6 cm, 0.2 cm to 0.4 cm, 0.4 cm to 2.0 cm, 0.6 cm to 2.0 cm, 0.8 cm to 2.0 cm, 1.0 cm to 2.0 cm, 1.2 cm to 2.0 cm, 1.4 cm to 2.0 cm, 1.6 cm to 2.0 cm, 1.8 cm to 2.0 cm, 0.4 cm to 1.8 cm, 0.6 cm to 1.6 cm, 0.8 cm to 1.4 cm, or 1.0 cm to 1.2 cm. It could be.

[0047] The fragrance discharge portion may include microcapsules, and the microcapsules may be applied to one surface of the acupressure rod cover. The microcapsules may also be made of a biodegradable material.

[0048] Microcapsules may burst when stepped on, releasing fragrance substances contained within. Microcapsules may be spherical capsules with a size (diameter) of several micrometers, and may contain phytoncides, aromatic substances, etc.

[0050] The above pressure rod cover may include a pressure projection through hole.

[0051] If the acupressure rod cover covers the acupressure protrusions, the stimulation of the soles of the feet by the protrusions may be reduced, and some people may desire stronger pressure.

[0052] Accordingly, the pressure rod cover of the present invention may include pressure projection through-holes. Although the pressure projections may be regularly arranged, in many cases they are irregularly arranged; therefore, it is preferable that the pressure projection cover having pressure projection through-holes be made of a more flexible and elastic material so that the pressure projection through-holes can be aligned with them.

[0053] In addition, in the case of a pressure rod containing standardized pressure protrusions arranged in a regular and consistent manner, a pressure rod cover having a pressure protrusion penetration hole is provided so that the position of the pressure protrusions and the position of the pressure protrusion penetration hole can be aligned.

[0055] The pressure rod cover of the present invention may further include a roll-up loop formed at the end of the pressure rod cover.

[0056] Since acupressure rod covers can be quite large, it is important to store them easily for easy installation, removal, and reuse. In particular, for acupressure rod covers installed on outdoor acupressure rods, if water remains in the space between the acupressure rod and the cover when it rains, it will rot and mold will grow, which is very unhygienic. Therefore, there is a need for repeated installation and removal, such as removing it when it rains and reinstalling it only after it is completely dry. Accordingly, the acupressure rod cover of the present invention may include roll-up loops at both ends of the acupressure rod so that it can be easily rolled up and stored on a circular rod. A rod (rod) is provided having roll-up loops at both ends of the acupressure rod and a loop that can be fastened thereto. One end of the acupressure rod cover is fixed to the rod, and the cover is rolled up to wrap around the rod, allowing the cover to be easily removed and stored in a rolled form. During installation, the acupressure rod cover in a rolled form can be placed on one end of the acupressure rod and rolled to easily install the cover on the acupressure rod.

[0058] The earthenware protrusion pressure rod of the present invention comprises: an earthenware pressure protrusion; and a pressure rod cover created on the earthenware pressure protrusion.

[0059] The pressure rod cover of the present invention may be a pressure rod cover installed and used on an existing pressure rod, and furthermore, the pressure rod of the present invention may include a pressure rod and a pressure rod cover installed thereon, and the pressure rod may include a pottery protrusion.

[0060] Acupressure bumps can come in various shapes and materials. If the bumps are made of earthenware, they can be provided in an eco-friendly and traditional manner, and depending on the temperature during the firing stage, they can have various colors and textures. Additionally, since earthenware bumps have a far-infrared radiation effect, they can provide blood circulation and muscle relaxation effects as additional health benefits to users of the acupressure road.

[0062] Although various examples have been described above, a person of ordinary skill in the art can apply various technical modifications and variations based on the foregoing. For example, appropriate results can be achieved even if the described techniques are performed in a different order than described, and / or the components of the described system, structure, device, circuit, etc. are combined or assembled in a form different from described, or replaced or substituted by other components or equivalents.

[0063] Therefore, other implementations, other embodiments, and equivalents to the claims also fall within the scope of the claims set forth below.
