STICKING PIECE FOR HEALTH PROMOTION

PIECE ADHESIVE POUR LA PROMOTION DE LA SANTE

English Abstract

An improved sticking piece for health promotion is
described. In order to obtain a universal availability and cost
reduction, a stimulator having a flat base portion and at least
a projection is fixed onto an adhesive sheet so that the projec-
tion may be held pushing effective spots or affective parts in
use. The stimulator may preferably have a first projection
crossing center of the base portion and a pair of second projec-
tions positioned in parallel with the first projection at the
both sides. The second projections are made lower than the
first projection so that the stimulator may work to give
stimulation with different strength.

STICKING PIECE FOR HEALTH PROMOTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an improved sticking piece
for health promotion, more particularly to a sticking piece to
stimulate an effective spot or an affected part of human body
for facilitating circulations of blood and relieving stiffness
of shoulders or muscular pains or the like by applying the
pieces on the effective spots or the affected parts of human
body.
2. Description of Related Art
There has been known a conventional sticking piece for
health promotion which comprises a circular adhesive sheet piece
and a magnetic substance fixed on the center of the sheet. Such
conventional sticking piece is to stimulate effective spots with
working of magnetic force of the magnetic substance so as to
facilitate circulations of blood and relieving stiffness of
shoulders or muscular pains or the like.
However, such conventional sticking piece for health promo-
tion requires rather high manufacturing cost owing to the use of
magnetic substance, and must be thrown away when passed a
predetermined term without use since it may not keep universal
availability due to the marginal efficiency of the magnetic
force.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
One object of the present invention is to provide an im-
proved sticking piece for health promotion which can reduce the
manufacturing cost and may keep a universal availability.
To attain this object according to the present invention, a
sticking piece for health promotion comprises an adhesive sheet
having an adhesive layer on one side surface thereof, and a
stimulator fixed to the sheet at its center through the adhesive
layer, the stimulator having a flat base portion and at least a

- 2188718
projection. With this arrangement, the projection is held push-
ing sharply a surface of human body to which the sticking piece
is applied by sticking.
The stimulator may preferably have a first projection
crossing a center of the flat base portion and a pair of second
projections positioned in parallel with the first projection at
the both sides, said second projection being made lower than the
first projection. The first and second projections may work to
give stimulation with different strength onto an effective spot
or affected part of human body.
Further, the adhesive sheet piece may preferably have a
plurality of holes at surrounding the base portion of the
stimulator and the stimulator may preferably be made of syn-
thetic resin including ceramics. The holes may prevent evil in-
fluence by sticking adhesive sheet onto a skin such as swellingdue to musty, perspiration or the like. Also, use of resin
stimulator makes it easy to incorporate the projections and the
base portion into one body and accordingly enables mass produc-
tion. Ceramics included in the stimulator brings a thermal ef-
fect derived from far infrared ray to warm the effective spot oraffected part the sticking piece applied, thereby facilitating
circulations of blood.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will
be understood from the following description of preferred em-
bodiments of the present invention, which are shown in accom-
panying drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to Figs.l and 5, a sticking piece "A" for health
promotion according to one embodiment of the present invention
comprises an adhesive sheet 1 and a stimulator 2 attached onto
the adhesive surface of the sheet.
The sheet 1 is made of cloth or synthetic resin film in
circular shape and an adhesive layer la is formed at its one
side surface, which the stimulator 2 is attached on the center
of the sheet through the adhesive layer la. A plurality of
holes 3, 3 (preferably 6 to 8 holes) are formed in the sheet
1 surrounding the stimulator 2 to prevent causing evil influence
by sticking adhesive sheet onto a skin such as swelling due to
musty, perspiration or the like.
The stimulator 2 is made of synthetic resin including pow-
dered ceramics and having an orbicular flat base portion 2c and
projections formed identically. The projections are a first
projection 2a crossing the center on the flat base portion 2c
and a pair of second projections 2b, 2b positioned at the both
sides of the first projection 2a.
The first projection 2a extends from one end to the other
end of the base portion 2c, and is made its top end higher than
the second projections 2a, 2a as seen from Fig.4. The second
projections 2b, 2b are arranged in parallel with the first
projection 2a keeping a predetermined gap therebetween, and each
center of the second projections is depressed as seen in Eig.5.
The free end edges of the projections 2a and 2b are rounded not
to harm the skin to which the sticking piece "A" is applied.
In use of the sticking piece for health promotion "A"
structured as above described, it is stuck, as shown in Fig.6,
onto the skin surface of human body corresponding to effective
spots or affected parts by pressing the circumferential portion
of the sheet 1 thereto. Under the condition the piece "A" being
stuck the stimulator 2 is held between the sheet 1 and the skin
keeping to give pressure to the effective spots and/or affected
parts and thus stimulating the effective spots and/or affected

2~887~8
parts. Such stimulation to effective spots or affected parts
may facilitate circulations of blood and effectively relieve
stiffness of shoulders and/or muscular pains or the like.
Thanks to the arrangement of the first and second projec-
tions 2a and 2b differentiated the height, varied stimulations
can be given to the effective spots and/or affected parts. Also
the sticking piece may keep a universal availability in com-
parison with the conventional piece using magnetic substance,
since stimulation may be given by the projections as above.
Further, a plurality of the holes 3, 3 formed at sur-
rounding the stimulator 2 make ventilation well, thereby
preventing perspiration and peeling off.
