Description

本発明は肩こりや腰痛、筋肉痛などの患部に、温湿布効果と共に、鎮痛・消炎効果をもたらす貼り薬に関する。  The present invention relates to a patch that provides an analgesic / anti-inflammatory effect as well as a hot compress effect to affected areas such as stiff shoulders, low back pain, and muscle pain.

患部に蒸しタオルなどを当てる温湿布の効果は、人口に膾炙されている。また、患部に貼った鎮痛、消炎剤の上から温湿布をすると一層効果が増すことも知られている。この常識的民間療法を、より有効にアレンジしたいと考えた。  The effect of hot compresses that apply steamed towels to affected areas is deceived by the population. It is also known that the effect is further increased by applying a hot compress over the analgesic / anti-inflammatory agent applied to the affected area. We wanted to arrange this common sense folk remedy more effectively.

蒸しタオル対策は、肩凝りや腰痛などには特に有効であるが、保温時間が短いのが欠点であった。一方、鎮痛、消炎効果をもたらす貼り薬も患部に貼った直後は、薬の成分が浸透して効果を体感できるが、間もなく感覚はなくなる。本発明は従来の欠点を補い、長時間にわたり相乗的効果を高めたい。  The steam towel measure is particularly effective for stiff shoulders and back pain, but the short heat retention time is a drawback. On the other hand, immediately after applying a patch that provides analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects to the affected area, the components of the drug can permeate and experience the effect, but soon the sense disappears. The present invention is intended to compensate for the conventional drawbacks and enhance the synergistic effect over a long period of time.

課題を解決する為の手段Means to solve the problem

課題を達成する為の手段として、まず、患部を加熱する蒸しタオルと同じく効果を持続させる方策として、鉄粉の酸化作用で長時間発熱する使い捨てカイロに着目し、これと鎮痛、消炎作用のある薬液を浸透させた吸水材を接合させる。カイロの温熱で吸水材中の薬液も加熱されて温湿布効果が増して、血行が増進した患部に、徐徐に薬液も浸透するので、長時間にわたって効率的な治療効果が期待できる。  As a means to achieve the problem, first of all, as a measure to maintain the same effect as the steam towel that heats the affected area, paying attention to the disposable body warmer that generates heat for a long time due to the oxidation of iron powder, it has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. A water absorbing material infiltrated with a chemical solution is joined. The warming heat of the body warms the medicinal solution in the water-absorbing material to increase the warm compress effect, and the medicinal solution gradually permeates into the affected area where blood circulation has been promoted. Therefore, an effective therapeutic effect can be expected over a long period of time.

薬液を含む吸水材を密封した袋の片面には、水蒸気や薬の成分の発散口として無数の孔穴を分布しておく。尚、この面には身体に付着させるために、接着剤を塗布する。本発明は熱源のカイロの袋と、薬液を含む吸水材を封じた二つの袋を接着させ一体化させた扁平な形状である。  Innumerable hole holes are distributed on one side of the bag sealed with a water-absorbing material containing a chemical solution as a diverging port for water vapor and chemical components. Note that an adhesive is applied to this surface in order to adhere to the body. The present invention has a flat shape in which a warmer bag of a heat source and two bags sealed with a water-absorbing material containing a chemical solution are bonded and integrated.

吸水材への薬液の浸透度合いは、市販のウェットティッシュよりも湿り気が高く、吸水材から溢流しないことが望ましい。なお、吸水材入りの袋の表面に分布する孔穴から、水分や薬の成分の蒸発防止策として、また、袋の表面の接着剤をカバーする目的で、接着剤の前面にフィルムを密着させておく。  The degree of penetration of the chemical into the water absorbing material is higher than that of a commercially available wet tissue, and it is desirable that the chemical does not overflow from the water absorbing material. In addition, from the holes distributed on the surface of the bag containing water absorbent material, as a measure to prevent evaporation of moisture and chemical components, and to cover the adhesive on the surface of the bag, a film is adhered to the front surface of the adhesive. deep.

本発明は，１辺が約７〜８ｃｍ前後の扁平状であるから、携行しやすく、且つ、手軽に患部に貼ることができる。患部に貼る場合は、吸水材入りの袋の表面のフィルムを剥がし、直接患部に貼る。  Since the present invention has a flat shape with one side of about 7 to 8 cm, it is easy to carry and can be easily attached to the affected area. When sticking to the affected part, peel off the film on the surface of the bag containing the water-absorbing material and stick it directly to the affected part.

鉄粉の酸化作用で発熱する市販のカイロの例をあげれば、発熱時間は１２時間を超えるすぐれものである。この発熱剤は通気性のある袋に入っているので、まず、空気を遮断しておく必要がある。その対策として吸水材入りの袋と接着させて一体化したら、両者を完全に密封する袋に包容する。以下、この袋を外袋と記す。使用にあたって外袋を破れば、通気性の袋を通して発熱材は空気に触れるので、酸化が進み、徐徐に発熱する。  An example of a commercially available body warmer that generates heat due to the oxidizing action of iron powder is excellent in heat generation time exceeding 12 hours. Since this exothermic agent is contained in a breathable bag, it is necessary to block air first. As a countermeasure, when bonded and integrated with a bag containing a water absorbent material, the bag is completely sealed. Hereinafter, this bag is referred to as an outer bag. If the outer bag is broken during use, the heat generating material comes into contact with air through the breathable bag, so that oxidation proceeds and heat is gradually generated.

本発明で用いる薬液は、鎮痛・消炎作用がある市販の薬剤と同じようなものであれば、特に限定しない。  The drug solution used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is the same as a commercially available drug having an analgesic / anti-inflammatory effect.

広く利用されている上記の発熱カイロの場合、低温火傷の恐れがあるので、直接患部に貼らぬように、と注意書きが添えられているが、本発明の場合は、構造上に発熱カイロ入りの袋が直接人体には接触しないので安全である。  In the case of the above-mentioned fever body warmer widely used, there is a risk of low-temperature burns, so a note is attached that it should not be applied directly to the affected area, but in the case of the present invention, a fever body warmer is included on the structure The bag is safe because it does not touch the human body directly.

発明の効果The invention's effect

上記のカイロの持続的な発熱で、吸水材の袋の孔穴から、水蒸気や薬の成分が発散することにより、温湿布同様の効果で、患部の血流を促すと共に、薬の浸透作用を、長時間にわたって助長する効果がある。  With the continuous heat generation of the above body warmer, the water vapor and the components of the drug diverge from the hole in the bag of the water absorbing material, and the effect similar to a warm compress, It has the effect of promoting for a long time.

発明を実施する為の最良の形態BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面によって詳細に説明する。
図１は袋の片面に接着剤を塗布した発熱カイロの上面図である。１は袋、２は発熱材の収容部で、この表面に接着剤を塗布しておく。図２は図１とほぼ同じ面積の袋で、内部には吸水性に富む材料に、液状の鎮痛・消炎薬の成分を浸透させた吸水材を詰めてある。３は袋で、袋の表面の４には、肌に安全な接着剤を塗布しておく。５は孔穴で水蒸気や薬の成分の排出口である。
図３は図２の横断面を示した斜視図で、６は吸水材を示した。本発明を構成するにあたって、図１について加筆すると、袋には、通気性の材料を用い、その片面のみに接着剤を塗る。図２の袋には、非通気性の材料を用いる。次に図１の接着面２に、図２の裏面を接着させたら、上面の４の接着剤を保護する為に全面にフィルム７を貼る。図４は、図１の上に図２を乗せた後、フィルム７を貼った状態を示した上面図である。
図５は完成後の上面である。ただし、この状態では発熱材を収容した袋は通気性があり、発熱材の酸化を招くので、その対策として、完成した図５を、ただちにセロハンやビニールなどの袋で密封する必要がある。図６は最終工程後の断面図で、３´は発熱材、８は空気を遮断するための袋を示した。
患部に貼り付ける場合は、まず８を破り、次にフィルム７を剥離すれば接着剤を塗布した面が現れる。患部にこの面を押し付けるだけで、まもなく発熱現象が生じる。以後、長時間にわたって、温湿布効果と薬の成分の相乗効果がつづく。Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a top view of an exothermic body with an adhesive applied to one side of a bag. Reference numeral 1 denotes a bag, and 2 denotes a heat-generating material accommodating portion, on which an adhesive is applied. FIG. 2 is a bag having substantially the same area as FIG. 1, and a water-absorbing material in which a liquid analgesic / anti-inflammatory agent is infiltrated into a material having high water absorption is packed inside. 3 is a bag, and a safe adhesive is applied to the skin 4 on the surface of the bag. Reference numeral 5 denotes a hole, which is a discharge port for water vapor and chemical components.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a cross section of FIG. 2, and 6 is a water absorbing material. In constructing the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a breathable material is used for the bag, and an adhesive is applied only to one side thereof. A non-breathable material is used for the bag of FIG. Next, when the back surface of FIG. 2 is adhered to the adhesive surface 2 of FIG. 1, a film 7 is stuck on the entire surface in order to protect the adhesive 4 on the upper surface. FIG. 4 is a top view showing a state in which the film 7 is pasted after placing FIG. 2 on FIG.
FIG. 5 is a top view after completion. However, in this state, the bag containing the heat generating material has air permeability and causes oxidation of the heat generating material. Therefore, as a countermeasure, the completed FIG. 5 needs to be immediately sealed with a cellophane or vinyl bag. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view after the final process, 3 ′ indicates a heat generating material, and 8 indicates a bag for blocking air.
When affixing to an affected part, if the film 8 is first broken and then the film 7 is peeled, a surface to which an adhesive is applied appears. Just pressing this surface against the affected area will soon cause a fever phenomenon. Thereafter, the synergistic effect of the hot compress effect and the ingredients of the medicine continues for a long time.

近年はパソコンなどの普及のせいか、若年層にも腰痛や肩凝り、筋肉痛を訴える人が増加していると聞く。このような症状には貼り薬が広く用いられていた。しかし、その効果は一時的で持続性が渇望されていた。
本発明は鉄粉などの酸化で発熱し、その発熱持続時間が長い使い捨てカイロに着目し、これと鎮痛・消炎効果のある成分を含む薬液を滲透した吸水材を併用し、患部に温湿布効果を与えて血流を促し、ここに薬の成分を滲透させることによる相乗効果を持続させるので治療効果を高めることができる。使用法も極めて簡単で、随時、随所で患部に貼れる長所がある。また、製造工程も単純で、薬液も従来の市販品で済む。尚、発熱材による低温火傷の心配もない。
従来、皮膚に貼った膏薬に発熱材を接触させる温熱用具があるが、蒸しタオルによる温熱効果は欠落していた。つまり、患部の血流促進や凝りを解く温湿布効果と相乗的に作用する治療効果が軽視されていた。しかし、本発明はこの空白を埋めるので、新しい治療効果を手軽に持続させることができる。I hear that the number of people complaining of back pain, stiff shoulders and muscle pain is increasing in recent years because of the spread of personal computers. Patches have been widely used for such symptoms. However, the effect was ephemeral and persistent.
The present invention focuses on a disposable body warmer that generates heat due to oxidation of iron powder, etc., and uses a combination of this and a water-absorbing material that permeates a chemical solution containing an analgesic / anti-inflammatory component, and a hot compress effect on the affected area. To promote blood flow and to maintain a synergistic effect by permeating the components of the medicine here, so that the therapeutic effect can be enhanced. It is very easy to use and has the advantage that it can be applied to the affected area at any time. In addition, the manufacturing process is simple, and conventional chemical products are sufficient. In addition, there is no worry of low temperature burns due to the heat generating material.
Conventionally, there is a heating tool for bringing a heating material into contact with a plaster applied to the skin, but the heating effect by a steaming towel has been lacking. In other words, the therapeutic effect acting synergistically with the warm compress effect that dissolves blood flow promotion and stiffness in the affected area was neglected. However, since the present invention fills this gap, a new therapeutic effect can be easily maintained.
