【発明の属する技術分野】本発明は、Ｔシャツやトレー
ナなどを含め肌につける衣服としての下着に電極を取り
付け、これらの電極を肌に導電接触させて微弱電流を流
し、生体を電気的に刺激する下着電極に関する。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technique for attaching electrodes to underwear, such as T-shirts and trainers, as clothes to be worn on the skin, and bringing these electrodes into conductive contact with the skin to apply a weak current to electrically connect a living body. For stimulating underwear electrodes.

【発明が解決しようとする課題】人体にはその生体を維
持するために、休みなく生体電流が流れて細胞活動や筋
肉の収縮運動を行っている。このため、外部から人為的
に微弱電流を流して生体を刺激すると、生体電流と同じ
ように細胞活動を活性化し、筋肉の収縮運動を喚起して
生体機能を高める効果がある。In the human body, in order to maintain the living body, a bioelectric current flows without a break to perform cell activity and muscle contraction. Therefore, when the living body is stimulated by artificially applying a weak current from the outside, the cell activity is activated in the same manner as the bioelectric current, and there is an effect that the muscle contraction movement is aroused and the biological function is enhanced.
【０００３】この微弱電流を流すには、多数の電極を身
体の各部に適切に配置して導電接触させる必要がある。
このため、従来は電極を装着するのに手間と時間がかか
って面倒であった。そこで、肌につける下着の内側に電
極を付けてこれを着ると、多数の電極を一度に装着する
ことができ、多くの電極を身体の各部に配置して装着す

着と同じように普段着用できるので、日常生活の中で時
間や場所を選ばず、いつでも、どこでも好きなときにト
リートメントできて便利である。In order to flow this weak current, it is necessary to appropriately arrange a large number of electrodes on each part of the body and make conductive contact.
For this reason, conventionally, it took time and effort to mount the electrodes, which was troublesome. Therefore, by attaching electrodes to the inside of the underwear to be worn on the skin and wearing them, many electrodes can be attached at once, and it is convenient to save the trouble of arranging and attaching many electrodes to each part of the body . In addition, since the underwear electrode can be worn on a regular basis in the same manner as ordinary underwear, it is convenient because it can be treated anytime and anywhere in daily life, anytime and anywhere.
【０００４】この下着電極は、ウレタンゴムの表面にカ
ーボンをコーティングした面状電極をミシンなどで縫い
付けるのが一般的であった。このため、多くの電極を一
つ一つ縫い付けるのに手間を要し、当然工数がかさみ、
生産コストが上昇した。[0004] The underwear electrode is generally sewn with a sewing machine or the like to a sheet-like electrode having a surface coated with carbon on urethane rubber. For this reason, it takes time and effort to sew many electrodes one by one, and naturally the man-hour is increased,
Production costs rose.
【０００５】また、電極のへりにギザギザの縫い目がで
き、このギザギザの尖った部分に電流が強く流れてピリ
ピリしたり、ギザギザが皮膚に当たってチクチクして着
心地がよくなかった。また、下着電極を装着するときに
電極のへりがめくれたり、ギザギザが擦れて皮膚に傷を
付けることもあった。In addition, jagged seams are formed at the edge of the electrode, and a strong current is applied to the sharp portions of the jagged edges, and the jagged edges hit the skin, resulting in tingling and poor comfort. In addition, the edge of the electrode may be turned up when the underwear electrode is worn, or the skin may be scratched due to rubbing.
【０００６】そこで本発明は、下着に縫い付けるのでは
なく、電極のへりにギザギザのない特にへりの部分がフ
ラットで滑らかな下着に付ける電極を提供することを目
的になされたものである。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an electrode which is not sewn to underwear, but is provided on an underwear in which the edge of the electrode has no jagged edges, and particularly the edge portion is flat and smooth.
