Description

本発明は、頭蓋骨の矯正に用いられる枕に関する。 The present invention relates to a pillow used for cranial correction.

いびき、睡眠時無呼吸症候群、副鼻腔炎、偏頭痛、眩暈等の症状改善を図るための施術として、頭蓋骨の矯正(調整)が従来より知られている。頭蓋骨は二十数個の骨から構成されており、それらの歪みが上述の各症状の原因とされる。頭蓋骨矯正の施術手法としては、施術者の手技によって頭部の所定の部位に所定の外力を付加し、上述の歪みを低減する方法が一般的に知られている。 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Skull correction (adjustment) has long been known as a treatment for improving symptoms such as snoring, sleep apnea syndrome, sinusitis, migraines, and dizziness. The skull is made up of more than 20 bones, and distortion of these bones is said to be the cause of each of the above-mentioned symptoms. As a surgical technique for cranial correction, a method is generally known in which a predetermined external force is applied to a predetermined part of the head by a practitioner's technique to reduce the above-mentioned distortion.

また、上述した各症状をもたらす頭蓋骨の歪みは、例えば、枕が合わないことによる不適切な寝姿勢により、頭蓋骨に不適切な負荷が長期間付与されることで発生するとされる。頭蓋骨の歪みの原因としては、その他、スマートフォンやパーソナルコンピュータ等の長時間の使用等も挙げられる。そのような頭蓋骨への負荷発生を抑制するための枕として、頭部を所定の姿勢で保持することが可能な枕が種々開発されている(例えば、特許文献1)。 It is also said that the distortion of the skull that causes each of the above-mentioned symptoms is caused by an inappropriate load being applied to the skull over a long period of time due to, for example, an inappropriate sleeping position due to an inappropriate pillow. Other causes of skull distortion include prolonged use of smartphones, personal computers, etc. Various pillows capable of holding the head in a predetermined posture have been developed as pillows for suppressing the generation of such loads on the skull (for example, Patent Document 1).

I can do it.

図1に示すように、本発明の実施例に係る枕1は、概略、被施術者の頭部右側を支持する右側支持構造体2と、被施術者の頭部左側を支持する左側支持構造体3と、右側支持構造体2と左側支持構造体3を支持するベース部4と、を備える。 As shown in FIG. 1, a pillow 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention generally includes a right side support structure 2 that supports the right side of the head of a patient, and a left support structure 2 that supports the left side of the head of the patient. The present invention includes a body 3 and a base portion 4 that supports the right side support structure 2 and the left side support structure 3.

ベース部4は、右側支持構造体2を支持する右側可動台42と、左側支持構造体3を支持する左側可動台43と、を備える。右側可動台42と左側可動台43は、ベース板40上に左右方向に並ぶように配置されている。左右方向は、仰臥位の被施術者の頭部の幅方向に対応する。右側可動台42と左側可動台43は、ベース板40上における左右方向の相対位置を可変に構成されており、被施術者の頭部の大きさや形状に合わせて、頭部幅方向における間隔や位置を変更することができる。 The base portion 4 includes a right side movable base 42 that supports the right side support structure 2 and a left side movable base 43 that supports the left side support structure 3. The right movable base 42 and the left movable base 43 are arranged on the base plate 40 so as to be lined up in the left-right direction. The left-right direction corresponds to the width direction of the head of the patient in the supine position. The right side movable table 42 and the left side movable table 43 are configured to have variable relative positions in the left and right direction on the base plate 40, and the distance in the width direction of the head can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the patient's head. The position can be changed.

具体的には、右側可動台42と左側可動台43は、それぞれ、ベース板40における幅方向(頭部幅方向)の延びる長孔を備えた被固定部44を有し、長孔に挿通されるビス45の締付によりベース板40に固定される。右側可動台42と左側可動台43は、被固定部44の長孔に対するビス45の締付位置を変更することでベース板40における幅方向の固定位置を調整することができる。 Specifically, the right side movable base 42 and the left side movable base 43 each have a fixed portion 44 having a long hole extending in the width direction (head width direction) in the base plate 40, and the fixed portion 44 is inserted into the long hole. It is fixed to the base plate 40 by tightening the screws 45. The fixing positions of the right side movable base 42 and the left side movable base 43 in the width direction on the base plate 40 can be adjusted by changing the tightening position of the screw 45 with respect to the long hole of the fixed part 44.

図2、図3を参照して、右側支持構造体2の構成について説明する。なお、図3では、第1右側指部21、第2右側指部22、右側連結部23、第1左側指部31、第2左側指部32、左側連結部33について、それぞれの断面構成を示している。 The configuration of the right side support structure 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. In addition, in FIG. 3, the cross-sectional configurations of the first right finger section 21, the second right finger section 22, the right connecting section 23, the first left finger section 31, the second left finger section 32, and the left connecting section 33 are shown. It shows.

右側支持構造体2は、第1右側指部21と、第2右側指部22と、右側連結部23と、右側回転支持部24と、を備える。右側支持構造体2は、右側回転支持部24が右側可動台42に回転可能に支持されている。 The right support structure 2 includes a first right finger 21 , a second right finger 22 , a right connection 23 , and a right rotation support 24 . In the right support structure 2, the right rotation support part 24 is rotatably supported by the right movable base 42.

第1右側指部21は、被施術者の後頭部と首との境目の右側、より具体的には、右側の側頭骨53の乳様突起54と頸椎との間の部分に当接する。第2右側指部22は、被施術者の頭部右側面、より具体的には、頭部右側の側頭骨53から頭頂骨52に渡る部分に当接する。右側連結部23は、略L字形状を有し、互いに直交(交差)する方向に延びる第1右側腕部231と第2右側腕部232を備える。第1右側腕部231には、第1右側指部21が取り付けられ、第2右側腕部232には、第2右側指部22が取り付けられる(図3参照)。 The first right finger portion 21 abuts on the right side of the boundary between the back of the head and the neck of the subject, more specifically, on the portion between the mastoid process 54 of the temporal bone 53 on the right side and the cervical vertebrae. The second right finger portion 22 abuts on the right side of the head of the patient, more specifically, on the right side of the head, on the portion extending from the temporal bone 53 to the parietal bone 52. The right side connecting portion 23 has a substantially L-shape and includes a first right arm portion 231 and a second right arm portion 232 that extend in directions orthogonal to (intersect with) each other. The first right finger section 21 is attached to the first right arm section 231, and the second right finger section 22 is attached to the second right arm section 232 (see FIG. 3).

第1右側指部21、第2右側指部22は、被施術者の頭部に接触する部分であるため、
例えばゴム等の柔軟性を有する材料で構成されるのが好ましい。右側連結部23は、例えば、L字板金を用いることができるが、被施術者の頭部に対して後述する所定の圧迫力(あるいは、後述する所定のモーメント)を発生させることが可能な強度を有するプラスチック等の樹脂製のL字形状部材を用いてもよい。
Since the first right finger part 21 and the second right finger part 22 are the parts that come into contact with the head of the person to be treated,
For example, it is preferably made of a flexible material such as rubber. The right side connecting portion 23 can be made of, for example, an L-shaped sheet metal, but the strength is such that it can generate a predetermined compression force (or a predetermined moment, described later) on the head of the patient. An L-shaped member made of resin such as plastic having the following properties may also be used.

第1右側指部21と第2右側指部22は、垂直軸周りと水平軸周りの二軸で、位置や姿勢を変えることができるように、右側連結部23、右側回転支持部24を介して、右側可動台42に支持される。 The first right finger section 21 and the second right finger section 22 are connected to each other via a right side connecting section 23 and a right rotation support section 24 so that their positions and postures can be changed around two axes, around the vertical axis and around the horizontal axis. and is supported by the right side movable base 42.

具体的には、右側連結部23は、第1右側回転軸部25を介して右側回転支持部24に回転可能に連結され、右側回転支持部24は、第2右側回転軸部26を介して右側可動台42に回転可能に連結されている。第1右側回転軸部25の回転軸線と第2右側回転軸部26の回転軸線とは互いに直交する。具体的には、第1右側回転軸部25の回転軸線は、略水平方向に延び、第2右側回転軸部26の回転軸線は、略垂直方向に延びる。また、第1右側回転軸部25の回転軸線は、第1右側指部21が延びる方向(右側連結部23の第1右側腕部231が延びる方向)と略平行である。 Specifically, the right side connecting part 23 is rotatably connected to the right side rotation support part 24 via the first right side rotation shaft part 25 , and the right side rotation support part 24 is rotatably connected to the right side rotation support part 24 via the second right side rotation shaft part 26 . It is rotatably connected to the right side movable base 42. The rotation axis of the first right rotation shaft section 25 and the rotation axis of the second right rotation shaft section 26 are orthogonal to each other. Specifically, the rotational axis of the first right rotational shaft 25 extends substantially horizontally, and the rotational axis of the second right rotational shaft 26 extends substantially vertical. Further, the rotational axis of the first right rotation shaft portion 25 is approximately parallel to the direction in which the first right finger portion 21 extends (the direction in which the first right arm portion 231 of the right side connecting portion 23 extends).

右側支持構造体2と同様に、左側支持構造体3は、第1左側指部31と、第2左側指部32と、左側連結部33と、左側回転支持部34と、を備える。左側支持構造体3は、左側回転支持部34が左側可動台43に回転可能に支持されている。左側連結部33は、第1左側腕部331と第2左側腕部332を有する(図3参照)。左側支持構造体3の各部の具体的な構成は、右側支持構造体2の各部の構成と左右対称の構成であり、詳細な説明は省略する。 Similar to the right side support structure 2 , the left side support structure 3 includes a first left finger 31 , a second left finger 32 , a left coupling part 33 , and a left rotation support part 34 . In the left side support structure 3, the left side rotation support part 34 is rotatably supported by the left side movable base 43. The left side connecting part 33 has a first left arm part 331 and a second left arm part 332 (see FIG. 3). The specific configuration of each part of the left side support structure 3 is bilaterally symmetrical with the configuration of each part of the right side support structure 2, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

図3、図4を参照して、本実施例に係る枕1による頭蓋骨矯正効果について説明する。 With reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the cranial correction effect of the pillow 1 according to this embodiment will be explained.

本実施例に係る枕1は、頭蓋骨矯正において被施術者の頭部に対して施術者が手技によって付加する場合と同様の、あるいは類似した圧迫力を、被施術者の頭部に付加することが可能に構成されている。より具体的には、頭部自重に起因する圧迫力を、頭部の左右それぞれの所定の2箇所に集中的に発生させ、施術者が当該部位を指などで圧迫する場合と同様の施術効果を得ることができる。 The pillow 1 according to the present embodiment is capable of applying to the head of a patient the same or similar compressive force to the head of the patient in skull correction. is configured to allow. More specifically, the compression force caused by the head's own weight is generated intensively at two predetermined locations on the left and right sides of the head, producing the same treatment effect as when the practitioner applies pressure to the affected areas with fingers, etc. can be obtained.

図3、図4に示すように、右側支持構造体2の第1右側指部21と、左側支持構造体3の第1左側指部31は、一対の支持部として、それぞれ被施術者の後頭部と首との境目に接触し、頭部を支持する。より具体的には、被験者の頭部及び首の後ろ側における、側頭骨53の乳様突起54と頸椎との間の部分(乳様突起54周辺)に対応する部分に接触する。第1右側指部21と第1左側指部31が接触する2箇所において頭部の重量を集中的に受けることで、頭部重量に対する反力が当該部位に集中的に作用することになる。すなわち、側頭骨53の乳様突起54に圧迫力が作用することになる。したがって、左右一対の支持部としての第1右側指部21と第1左側指部31は、後述する左右一対の作用部としての第2右側指部22と第2左側指部32とともに、左右一対の第二の作用部としても機能する。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the first right finger section 21 of the right side support structure 2 and the first left finger section 31 of the left side support structure 3 serve as a pair of support sections, respectively, on the back of the head of the patient. It touches the boundary between the head and the neck and supports the head. More specifically, it contacts a portion corresponding to the portion between the mastoid process 54 of the temporal bone 53 and the cervical vertebrae (around the mastoid process 54) on the back side of the subject's head and neck. By receiving the weight of the head intensively at the two locations where the first right finger section 21 and the first left finger section 31 contact, the reaction force against the head weight acts intensively on those locations. That is, a compressive force is applied to the mastoid process 54 of the temporal bone 53. Therefore, the first right finger part 21 and the first left finger part 31 as a pair of left and right support parts, together with the second right finger part 22 and second left finger part 32 as a pair of left and right action parts, which will be described later, It also functions as a second acting part.

図3、図4に示すように、右側支持構造体2の第2右側指部22と、左側支持構造体3の第2左側指部32とが、左右一対の作用部として、被施術者の側頭部(頭部側面こめかみ後方周辺)を左右両側から挟み込むように圧迫する。頭蓋骨5における圧迫力の作用部位としては、側頭骨53と頭頂骨52の境界付近、より詳細には、頭頂骨52における前頭骨51、蝶形骨56、側頭骨53に囲まれた領域周辺となる。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the second right finger section 22 of the right side support structure 2 and the second left side finger section 32 of the left side support structure 3 serve as a pair of left and right action sections for the treatment subject. Apply pressure to the temporal region (around the back of the temple on the side of the head) from both the left and right sides. The area where the compressive force acts on the skull 5 is near the boundary between the temporal bone 53 and the parietal bone 52, more specifically, around the area surrounded by the frontal bone 51, sphenoid bone 56, and temporal bone 53 in the parietal bone 52. Become.

第2右側指部22と第2左側指部32による圧迫力は、右側可動台42、左側可動台4
3の間隔調整と、右側支持構造体2と左側支持構造体3のそれぞれの姿勢の調整と、によって調整可能に形成することができる。被施術者の側頭部に対し、痛みは与えず頭蓋骨5に十分な矯正効果のある大きさの力が加わるように、側頭部に対する第2右側指部22と第2左側指部32の当接具合(当たる強さや方向、姿勢など)が調整される。
The compression force by the second right finger section 22 and the second left finger section 32 is applied to the right movable base 42 and the left movable base 4
3, and by adjusting the respective postures of the right side support structure 2 and the left side support structure 3. The second right finger section 22 and the second left finger section 32 are applied to the temporal region of the patient's temporal region so as to apply a force large enough to have a sufficient corrective effect on the skull 5 without causing pain. The degree of contact (strength of contact, direction, posture, etc.) is adjusted.

ここで、右側支持構造体2における右側連結部23、右側回転支持部24と、左側支持構造体3における左側連結部33、左側回転支持部34と、ベース部4における右側可動台42、左側可動台43は、第1右側指部21、第1左側指部31、第2右側指部22、第2左側指部32の相対位置及び姿勢を可変に支持する支持機構を構成する。 Here, the right side connection part 23 and the right side rotation support part 24 in the right side support structure 2, the left side connection part 33 and the left side rotation support part 34 in the left side support structure 3, the right side movable base 42 and the left side movable part in the base part 4, The stand 43 constitutes a support mechanism that variably supports the relative positions and postures of the first right finger section 21, the first left finger section 31, the second right finger section 22, and the second left finger section 32.

また、第1右側指部21、第1左側指部31で受ける頭部重量(図中の白抜き矢印)により発生するモーメント(図中の円弧矢印)も、第2右側指部22と第2左側指部32による被施術者の頭部に対する圧迫力の形成に寄与し得る。第1右側指部21で受ける頭部重量により、右側連結部23と右側回転支持部24との連結部を基点としたモーメントが発生し得る。同様に、第1左側指部31で受ける頭部重量より、左側連結部33と左側回転支持部34との連結部を基点としたモーメントが発生し得る。 In addition, the moment (arc arrow in the figure) generated by the head weight (white arrow in the figure) received by the first right finger part 21 and the first left finger part 31 also applies to the second right finger part 22 and the second right finger part 22 The left finger portion 32 can contribute to the formation of a compressive force on the head of the patient. Due to the head weight received by the first right finger portion 21, a moment may be generated based on the connection portion between the right side connection portion 23 and the right rotation support portion 24. Similarly, the weight of the head received by the first left finger portion 31 may generate a moment based on the connection portion between the left side connection portion 33 and the left rotation support portion 34 .

第2右側指部22と第2左側指部32による左右一対で挟み込む圧迫力により、頭蓋骨5を構成する各骨の境界を広げる力が発生する。より具体的には、前頭骨51と側頭骨53、頬骨55、蝶形骨56、上顎骨57、鼻骨58との境界付近や、頭頂骨52と側頭骨53との境界付近(ラインL1の沿った領域)を広げるような力が発生する。また、頬骨55と上顎骨57との境界付近(ラインL2に沿った領域)や、頬骨55と蝶形骨56との境界付近(ラインL3に沿った領域)を広げるような力も発生する。 The compressive force exerted by the pair of right and left fingers 22 and 32 generates a force that widens the boundaries of the bones that make up the skull 5. More specifically, near the boundaries between the frontal bone 51 and the temporal bones 53, zygomatic bones 55, sphenoid bones 56, maxilla bones 57, and nasal bones 58, and near the boundaries between the parietal bones 52 and temporal bones 53 (along the line L1). A force is generated that expands the area. Further, a force is generated that widens the vicinity of the boundary between the cheekbone 55 and the maxilla 57 (the area along the line L2) and the vicinity of the boundary between the cheekbone 55 and the sphenoid bone 56 (the area along the line L3).

また、第2右側指部22と第2左側指部32による圧迫により、第一頸椎と、頭蓋骨底(前頭骨51,後頭骨50、側頭骨53、蝶形骨56、篩骨59など)と、の間を広げる力も発生する。 Also, due to the compression by the second right finger section 22 and the second left finger section 32, the first cervical vertebrae and the base of the skull (frontal bone 51, occipital bone 50, temporal bone 53, sphenoid bone 56, ethmoid bone 59, etc.) are A force is also generated that widens the space between .

以上のような圧迫力の発生により、睡眠時無呼吸症候群、副鼻腔炎、偏頭痛等の各症状の原因とされる頭蓋骨5の歪みの低減、解消を図ることができる。 By generating the compressive force as described above, it is possible to reduce and eliminate distortion of the skull 5, which is considered to be the cause of various symptoms such as sleep apnea syndrome, sinusitis, and migraine.

枕1による被施術者の頭部の支持姿勢は、被施術者の頭部の形状等に合せて、右側支持構造体2と左側支持構造体3のそれぞれの姿勢(位置や向きなど)や幅方向の間隔を調整することで形成することができる。第1右側回転軸部25、第1左側回転軸部35は、調整後は固定してもよいし、回転自在なままでもよい。一方、第2右側回転軸部26、第2左側回転軸部36は、調整中も調整後も回転自在のままとするのが好ましい。各回転軸部が回転自在な状態で、被施術者の頭部の支持のバランスが取れる右側支持構造体2と左側支持構造体3の位置を探し、被施術者の頭部の支持姿勢を決めることができる。 The posture in which the patient's head is supported by the pillow 1 depends on the posture (position, orientation, etc.) and width of the right support structure 2 and left support structure 3, depending on the shape of the patient's head, etc. It can be formed by adjusting the directional spacing. After adjustment, the first right rotation shaft portion 25 and the first left rotation shaft portion 35 may be fixed or may remain rotatable. On the other hand, it is preferable that the second right rotation shaft section 26 and the second left rotation shaft section 36 remain rotatable during and after adjustment. With each rotating shaft freely rotatable, find the position of the right side support structure 2 and the left side support structure 3 that balances the support of the patient's head, and decide the supporting posture of the patient's head. be able to.

本実施例に係る枕1の利用方法としては、種々の方法が挙げられる。 There are various ways to use the pillow 1 according to this embodiment.

例えば、施術者による頭蓋骨矯正施術において、枕1により上述した圧迫力を付加しながら、施術者の手技による施術を加えることで、より効果的な施術効果が見込める。すなわち、枕1は、補助器具として、施術者による頭蓋骨矯正施術に利用することができる。 For example, in cranial correction surgery performed by a practitioner, a more effective treatment effect can be expected by applying the above-described compressive force using the pillow 1 and adding the treatment using the practitioner's manual techniques. That is, the pillow 1 can be used as an auxiliary device for cranial correction surgery by a practitioner.

また、頭部を枕1に上述した所定の支持姿勢で載置する(本実施例の枕1によって被施術者の頭部を支持する)だけでも一定の頭蓋骨矯正効果が見込める。したがって、枕1は、施術者による頭蓋骨矯正施術の場面に限られず、使用者自らが頭部を枕1に一定時間載置する自己施術(自己マッサージ)に利用することができる。 Moreover, a certain skull correction effect can be expected by simply placing the head on the pillow 1 in the above-described predetermined support posture (supporting the patient's head with the pillow 1 of this embodiment). Therefore, the pillow 1 can be used not only for cranial correction surgery performed by a practitioner, but also for self-treatment (self-massage) in which the user himself or herself places his or her head on the pillow 1 for a certain period of time.

なお、上述した枕1の利用方法は、あくまで一例であり、特定の方法に限定されるものではない。例えば、座位の被施術者に対して使用することもできる。すなわち、本実施例に係る枕1は、椅子のヘッドレスト(頭部支持部)として用いることができる。右側支持構造体2と左側支持構造体3の姿勢、角度などを調整し、座位の被施術者の頭部を枕1で支えるようバランスさせるとよい。仰臥位の場合と比べて、第1右側指部21、第1左側指部31で受ける頭部重量に対する反力の作用方向が、より側頭骨53の乳様突起54側に向かう方向となる。これにより、例えば、側頭骨53と後頭骨50の境界周辺への圧迫力の作用をより高めた頭部支持姿勢を作ることができる。 Note that the method of using the pillow 1 described above is just an example, and is not limited to a specific method. For example, it can also be used for a patient in a sitting position. That is, the pillow 1 according to this embodiment can be used as a headrest (head support part) of a chair. It is preferable to adjust the postures, angles, etc. of the right side support structure 2 and the left side support structure 3 to balance the head of the patient in the sitting position so that it is supported by the pillow 1. Compared to the case of the supine position, the reaction force against the head weight received by the first right finger section 21 and the first left finger section 31 acts in a direction more toward the mastoid process 54 of the temporal bone 53. Thereby, for example, it is possible to create a head support posture that further enhances the effect of compressive force around the boundary between the temporal bone 53 and the occipital bone 50.

本実施例では、第1右側指部21と第2右側指部22とが互いに分離した構成としているが、第1右側指部21と第2右側指部22とを一体化したような構成、すなわち、L字形状の剛性部材全体を柔軟性を有する材料で覆ったような構成としてもよい。第1左側指部31と第2左側指部32についても同様である。 In this embodiment, the first right finger section 21 and the second right finger section 22 are separated from each other, but a structure in which the first right finger section 21 and the second right finger section 22 are integrated, In other words, the entire L-shaped rigid member may be covered with a flexible material. The same applies to the first left finger section 31 and the second left finger section 32.

また、本実施例では、右側支持構造体2の構成として、L字板金で構成される右側連結部23の一端に第1右側指部21が取り付けられ、他端に第2右側指部22が取り付けられた構成を採用しているが、かかる構成はあくまで一例である。すなわち、第1右側指部21と第2右側指部22をそれぞれ頭部における所定部位に当接させるように支持可能であれば、本実施例の構成に限定されない。左側支持構造体3についても同様である。 In addition, in this embodiment, as a configuration of the right side support structure 2, the first right side finger part 21 is attached to one end of the right side connecting part 23 made of an L-shaped sheet metal, and the second right side finger part 22 is attached to the other end. Although a mounted configuration is employed, such a configuration is merely an example. That is, the configuration is not limited to the present embodiment as long as it is possible to support the first right finger section 21 and the second right finger section 22 so as to abut respective predetermined parts of the head. The same applies to the left side support structure 3.

また、本実施例では、右側回転支持部24として、L字板金を用いているが、回転軸線が互いに交差する第1右側回転軸部25と第2右側回転軸部26とを形成することが可能な他の形態の部材を用いてもよい。すなわち、第1右側指部21と第2右側指部22を少なくとも上述した互いに交差する二軸周りで回動(旋回)可能にする構成としては、本実施例の構成に限定されるものではない。左側回転支持部34についても同様である。 Further, in this embodiment, an L-shaped sheet metal is used as the right rotation support part 24, but it is possible to form the first right rotation shaft part 25 and the second right rotation shaft part 26 whose rotation axes intersect with each other. Other possible forms of members may also be used. In other words, the configuration in which the first right finger section 21 and the second right finger section 22 can be rotated (swiveled) at least around the two mutually intersecting axes mentioned above is not limited to the configuration of this embodiment. . The same applies to the left rotation support portion 34.

本実施例では、第1右側指部21と第2右側指部22を回動(旋回)可能にする二軸を互いに直交する構成とした場合を例示したが、二軸の交差角度は直交(直角)でなくてもよい。例えば、第1右側指部21と第2右側指部22が、直角よりもより開いた角度でそれぞれ延びるように構成してもよい。 In this embodiment, a case has been exemplified in which the two axes that enable the first right finger part 21 and the second right finger part 22 to rotate (swivel) are orthogonal to each other, but the intersecting angle of the two axes is orthogonal ( It does not have to be a right angle). For example, the first right finger portion 21 and the second right finger portion 22 may each extend at an angle that is wider than a right angle.

また、本実施例では、右側支持構造体2において、支持部としての第1右側指部21と、作用部としての第2右側指部22とを一体的に支持する構成としているが、被施術者の頭部に対して上述した圧迫力を付与可能であれば、かかる構成に限定されない。すなわち、支持部を支持する構造と作用部を支持する構造とを別々に構成してもよい。左側支持構造体3についても同様である。 Further, in this embodiment, the right side support structure 2 is configured to integrally support the first right finger section 21 as a support section and the second right finger section 22 as an action section. The configuration is not limited to this, as long as it is possible to apply the above-described compressive force to the head of the person. That is, the structure that supports the support part and the structure that supports the action part may be configured separately. The same applies to the left side support structure 3.

さらに、本実施例では、被施術者の頭部の重量を最も受ける支持部を左右一対の構成(第1右側指部21と第1左側指部31)としたが、一体的な単一の支持部として構成してもよい。 Furthermore, in this embodiment, the support parts that bear the most weight of the patient's head are configured as a pair of left and right fingers (the first right finger part 21 and the first left finger part 31). It may also be configured as a support section.

また、ベース部4の構成も、本実施例で示した構成はあくまで一例であり、かかる構成に限定されない。例えば、右側可動台42、左側可動台43をそれぞれベース板40に左右方向に任意の位置で調整可能に固定する構成に関して、本実施例で示した長孔とビスによる固定構成はあくまで一例であり、既知の他の位置調整構成を適宜採用してよい。 Furthermore, the configuration of the base portion 4 shown in this embodiment is merely an example, and is not limited to this configuration. For example, regarding the configuration in which the right side movable base 42 and the left side movable base 43 are each fixed to the base plate 40 in an adjustable manner at any position in the left-right direction, the fixing configuration using elongated holes and screws shown in this embodiment is merely an example. , other known position adjustment configurations may be employed as appropriate.

また、本実施例では、右側支持構造体2と左側支持構造体3を、ベース板40に対してそれぞれ独立して位置調整可能に構成したが、かかる構成に限定されない。例えば、右側可動台42と左側可動台43のうちのいずれか一方の位置を変えると、これに連動して他方の位置も変わるような連動機構を採用してもよい。 Further, in this embodiment, the right side support structure 2 and the left side support structure 3 are configured so that their positions can be adjusted independently with respect to the base plate 40, but the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. For example, an interlocking mechanism may be adopted in which when the position of either the right movable base 42 or the left movable base 43 is changed, the position of the other is also changed in conjunction with this.

また、右側支持構造体2と左側支持構造体3のいずれか一方をベース板40に対して固定とし、他方のみをベース板40に対して左右方向に位置調整可能に構成してもよい。 Further, either one of the right support structure 2 and the left support structure 3 may be fixed to the base plate 40, and only the other may be configured to be adjustable in position relative to the base plate 40 in the left-right direction.
