The present application is National Phase of International Application No. PCT/JP2010/052239 filed Feb. 16, 2010, and claims priorities from, Japanese Applications No. 2009-037109 filed Feb. 19, 2009 and No. 2009-037110 filed Feb. 19, 2009, the disclosure of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
The present invention relates to a gas mist pressure bath system, in which a mist (called as “gas mist” hereafter) is prepared by pulverizing and dissolving carbon dioxide or oxygen, otherwise a mixed gas (called as “gas” hereafter) of carbon dioxide and oxygen, and liquid, and the thus prepared gas mist is directly contacted to a skin and mucous membrane of a living organism at pressure of not less than a predetermined value, thereby to improve a gas absorption efficiency into the skin and mucous membrane.
It has conventionally been known that carbon dioxide (carbonic acid anhydride: CO2) has both properties of being not only soluble in water (water-soluble) but also soluble in fat (fat-soluble) and, therefore, by only contacting the skin and mucous membrane of the living organism being like mixed with water and fat, carbon dioxide penetrates under a subcutaneous layer and expands blood vessels around the parts of penetrated carbon dioxide, and it works to improve the blood circulation. Owing to this action of accelerating the blood circulation, it displays various physiological effects such as dropping of blood pressure, improving of metabolism or accelerating to remove pain substance or waste product. Further, it has also anti-inflammation and anti-bacterial. Therefore, carbon dioxide has recently been given attentions also from viewpoints of improving health or beauty other than the purpose of medical cares.
Carbon dioxide in the tissue of the living organism works to release oxygen carried in combination with hemoglobin in a red blood cell. Around parts at a high density of carbon dioxide, the red blood cell releases more oxygen. Thus, supply of oxygen to cells by the red blood cell is mainly controlled by carbon dioxide. In short, being without carbon dioxide, hemoglobin remains as combined with oxygen and the cell becomes unable to receive oxygen. As is seen, carbon dioxide seems to be a waste product resulted from action of the cell, however, it plays in fact very important roles in the living organism.
Further, in recent times, oxygen of the high density has also widely been known as effective inactivity of metabolism, accelerating the blood circulation, fatigue recovery, or stability of blood pressure. Other than them, oxygen has disinfection or sterilization by oxidative effect.
As a prior art for causing carbon dioxide to be absorbed into the living organism, a most broadly used technique is (1) a bathing agent generating carbon dioxide in water. Throwing this bathing agent into hot water in a bathtub, it generates carbon dioxide by reacting carbonate and acid contained in the bathing agent, and dissolves it in hot water. Carbon dioxide dissolved in hot water contacts the skin of a bathing person and penetrates his subcutaneous layer to display physiological effects as above mentioned.
As the prior art for causing more carbon dioxide to contact the living organism, (2) a carbon dioxide bathing device has been known. This emits and disperses carbon dioxide in hot water and dissolves it at the high density. When bathing in hot water dissolving carbon dioxide, the skin directly contacts it like the above mentioned bathing agent.
A blood circulation accelerating device (for example, Patent Document 1) has now been disclosed, which (3) attaches a cover to a human living organism on one part of his surface to form a sealed space together with his surface, and introduces carbon dioxide into the sealed space from a carbon dioxide supply means for carrying out a carbon dioxide bathing.
A carbon dioxide pressure bathing device which is equipped with at least (4) the carbon dioxide supply means, a pressurizing means, and a covering material for covering the living organism's skin and causing carbon dioxide to contact the skin at pressure of not less than predetermined value, has been proposed by an inventor of the present invention.
As the prior art for causing oxygen to be absorbed into the living organism, (5) a high density oxygen bathing device has been known. Being similar to the carbon dioxide bathing device, this emits and disperses oxygen dioxide in hot water, in which taking a bath, oxygen is caused to directly contact the skin.
However, each of the above prior arts (1), (2) and (5) dissolves carbon dioxide or oxygen in hot water when taking the bath, and causes carbon dioxide or oxygen to be absorbed into the skin of the living organism. Accordingly, they were involved with difficult points of using only when taking the bath. In addition, since carbon dioxide is easily dissolved in water, and even if much consuming it for dissolving in hot water, an absorption rate into the skin is never much high.
On the other hand, since the above prior arts (3) and (4) cause carbon dioxide to directly contact the living organism and if comparing with the prior arts (1) and (2), effects are high and efficiency is good. But these have not optimized to control the amounts or pressures of carbon dioxide, oxygen and the mist to be introduced into the shielding member (cover).
In view of the above mentioned problems, it is an object of the invention to provide a gas mist pressure bath system which is possible to control the amounts, pressures and others of gas and liquid, and cause the gas mist to be absorbed through the skin and mucous membrane of the human living organism under an optimum condition.
For solving the above mentioned problems, the present invention is to provide a gas mist pressure bath system, in which a mist (called as “gas mist” hereafter) is prepared at a density of not less than a predetermined value by pulverizing and dissolving carbon dioxide or oxygen, otherwise a mixed gas (called as “gas” hereafter) of carbon dioxide and oxygen, and a liquid, and the thus prepared gas mist is contacted to the skin and mucous membrane of the living organism. The present system comprises a gas supply means, a liquid supply means, a gas mist supply means for storing inside the liquid, discharging the gas into the stored liquid, thereby to change the above mentioned liquid into fine liquid drops, and pressure-supplying the fine liquid drops under a condition of the mist pulverized and dissolved together with the gas, a covering member for covering the skin and mucous membrane of the living organism as well as forming a space for sealing inside the gas mist supplied from the gas mist supply means. Since the above mentioned gas supply means generates the gas mist, the gas supply means is composed of a first gas supply means for generating the gas mist by discharging the gas into the liquid stored in the gas mist supply means as well as a second gas supply means for dissolving the gas in the liquid by discharging the gas into the liquid stored in the gas mist supply means, and thus, the present system is characterized by contacting the gas mist within the living organism covering member to the skin and mucous membrane of the living organism at a pressure of not less than a predetermined value.
By the way, the invention refers it as “pulverizing and dissolving” to pulverize the liquid into fine liquid drops, and cause to contact and mix with gas (carbon dioxide, or oxygen, or a mixed gas of carbon dioxide and oxygen).
Herein, more desirably, the above mentioned gas mist pressure bath system of the invention is further provided with a sensor for measuring supplying conditions of the gas, liquid and gas mist, and control means for controlling supplies thereof based on the measuring values of the sensor.
In addition, the above gas mist pressure bath system is desirably further provided with a pressurizing means for pressurizing the living organism covering member.
The control means may supply the gas mist intermittently into the living organism covering member to perform interval pressurization (pulse pressurization) thereon. Otherwise, the pressurizing means may pressurize the living organism cover member intermittently to perform interval pressurization (pulse pressurization) thereon.

Desirably, this liquid further contains any one or plural combination of menthol, vitamin E, vitamin C derivative, retinol, anesthetic, cyclodextrin, photocatalyst, complex of photocatalyst and apatite, hyaluronic acid, coenzyme Q10, seed oil, propolith, ethanol, gluconic acid chlorohexizine, amphoteric surface active agent, benzalkonium chloride, alkyldiamino ether glycin acetate, sodium hypochlorite, acetyl hydroperoxide, sodium sesquicarbonate, silica, povidone-iodine, sodium hydrogen carbonate, high density carbonate spring, anti-allergic agent, anti-inflammatory agent, anti-febrile, anti-fungus agent, anti-influenza virus, carcinostatic substance, anti-hypertensive agent, cosmetic agent, or trichogen.
Preferably, the liquid is supplied into the gas mist supply means under a condition of being heated. Sizes of the gas mist supplied from the gas mist supply means into the living organism covering member are suitably not more than 10 μm.
The control means preferably holds pressure at 1.02 to 2.5 air pressure in the living organism covering member when pressure-bathing of the gas mist.
There may be provided an electric charge supply means for supplying charge to the mist from the gas mist supply means. At this time, the charge is preferably minus.
Desirably, the gas mist supply means has a gas mist supply pipe for supplying the gas mist into the living organism covering member, and this gas mist supply pipe has a filter for removing liquid drops attached to the pipe inside. Further, a whole or one part of the gas mist supply pipe is suitably composed of a cornice shaped pipe, and this gas mist supply pipe is provided with a check valve.
In addition, the gas mist supply port of the living organism covering member is also provided at its supply port with the check valve.
Further, the gas mist supply means has a storage for storing the liquid and the gas mist. The storage is shaped in dome of convex having a curved face toward an upper portion and is formed with a gas mist discharge portion at the dome shaped top.

The control means desirably stops the gas from the gas supply means when the pressurizing value within the living organism covering member is higher than a predetermined value.
According to the gas mist pressure bath system of the invention, since it is possible to control the amount and pressure of the gas mist in the pressure bathing cover for the living organism by the control device, the gas mist pressure bathing can be always taken under the best condition.
Further, pressurization into the pressure bathing cover for the living organism is easy, and skin-pass breathing of the gas can be carried out more efficiently.

In the following description, explanations will be made to embodiments of this invention, referring to the attached drawings.
The gas supply means 11, 12 supply the gas into the liquid stored in the gas mist supply device 31. Firstly, the first gas supply means 11 is served for generating the gas mist by injecting the gas at high pressure into the liquid stored in the gas mist supply device 31. On the other hand, the second gas supply means 12 is served for releasing the gas nearly the surface of the liquid stored in the gas mist supply device 31 for dissolving the gas in the stored liquid. In case the gas mist is enough supplied in the pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism, only the gas is directly supplied from the second gas supply means 12 into the pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism. As the gas supply means 11, 12, to use a gas bomb is optimum. Omitting illustration, the gas supply means 11, 12 are desirably disposed with respective regulators for adjusting pressure. Further omitting illustration, the gas supply means 11, 12 may be provided with heaters for heating the gas or thermometers for controlling temperature.
The liquid supply means 21 is composed of such as a pump and supplies water to the gas mist supply device 31. As the liquid, it is suitable to use water, ionic water, physiological salt solution, ozone water, purified water or sterilized water. Further, these liquids may contain medicines useful to user's diseases or symptoms. For the medicines, enumerated are, for example, anti-allergic agent, anti-inflammatory agent, anti-febrile, anti-fungus agent, anti-influenza virus, carcinostatic substance, anti-hypertensive agent, cosmetic agent, or trichogen. Further, these liquids are further possible to generate synergistic effects by coupling with a gas physiological action with single or plurality of menthol having a cooling action; vitamin E accelerating circulation of the blood; vitamin C derivative easily to be absorbed to a skin tissue and having a skin beautifying effect; retinol normalizing a skin heratinizing action and protecting the mucous membrane; anesthetic moderating irritation to the mucous membrane; cyclodextrin removing odor; photocatalysis or a complex of photocatalysis and apatite having disinfection and anti-phlogistic; hyaluronic acid having excellent water holding capacity and a skin moisture retention effect; coenzyme Q10 activating cells and heightening immunization; a seed oil containing anti-oxidation and much nutrient; or propolith having anti-oxidation, anti-fungus, anti-inflammatory agent, pain-killing, anesthetic, and immunity. Otherwise, the liquids may be added with ethanol, gluconic acid chlorohexizine, amphoteric surface active agent, benzalkonium chloride, alkyldiamino ether glycin acetate, sodium hypochlorite, acetyl hydroperoxide, sodium sesquicarbonate, silica, povidone-iodine, sodium hydrogen carbonate. In addition, high density carbonate spring may be added (as examples organic components, sulfate, carbonate, sodium dichloroisocyanurate) having main components of carbonate and organic acid.
In the liquid supply means 21, it is desirable to dispose a heater (not shown) heating the liquid (for example, heating to a hot water of around 40° C.) or a thermometer (not shown) controlling temperature.
The gas mist supply device 31 is such a device which stores inside thereof the liquid supplied from the liquid supply means 21, discharges the gas of high pressure hereinto from the first gas supply means 11, thereby to change the liquid into fine liquid drops, generates the gas mist by pulverizing and dissolving together with the gas, and supplies the gas mist under pressure into the pressure bathing cover for the living organism. Further, the gas is supplied to the liquid stored inside thereof from the second gas supply means 12 to keep the gas dissolved. It is possible thereby to generate the gas mist having dissolved the gas at high density.
For generating the gas mist, at first, the liquid is poured from the liquid supply port 33 into the storage 32 and kept there, and the liquid supply port 33 is closed. By discharging the gas from the second gas supply means 12, the gas is dissolved in the liquid. The second gas supply port 35 is, as shown in
The generated gas mist spreads over inside of the storage 32 and is discharged from the gas mist discharge port 36 following a gas convection. Herein, the discharged gas mist is supplied into the pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism via the gas mist supply pipe 38. A gas mist supply pipe 38 is connected to a supply port 43 of the pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism. The gas mist supply pipe 38 has a liquid drop removing filter 39 for removing droplets attached to a pipe inside. Although not illustrating, the gas mist supply pipe 38 is provided inside with a check valve for checking back-flow of gas mist and gas.
Further, as shown in
The structure of the gas supply means 11 is the small sized gas bomb of the cartridge type, but instead, it may employ a large sized gas bomb of a business operation.
Further, the storage 32 has a structure as shown in
The storage 32 may be, as shown in
The pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism is a cover which enables to form a space for covering the skin and mucous membrane (herein, as the example, a lower extremity of the living organism) and to seal the gas mist and the gas inside. The pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism is composed of a pressure resistant, non-air permeable and non-moisture permeable material, for example, preferably, the natural rubber, silicone rubber, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylidene, polystylene, polyvinylacetate, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide resin, polytetrafluoroethylene. The pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism has a supply port 43 for introducing the gas mist and the gas inside. The supply port 43 is inside provided with a check valve for checking back flow of the gas mist and the gas. The pressure bathing cover 41 may be provided with an opening or a valve for discharging the gas and the gas mist. The pressure control may be carried out manually, but desirably automatically by a control device 51 together with supply control of the gas and the gas mist on the basis of measuring values of a later mentioned manometer. A safety valve (recess valve) may be provided for automatically opening a valve when the inside of the pressure bathing cover 41 becomes more than a constant pressure.
The pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism is inside installed with the manometer 61 for measuring an internal pressure. The control device 51 controls supply of the gas mist and the gas on the basis of measuring values of the manometer 61 for maintaining a pressure value within the pressure bathing cover 41 to be more than 1 air pressure (more preferably, around 1.02 to 2.5 air pressure). For example, the control device 51 controls or stops the supply of the gas or gas mist from the gas supply means 11, 12 and the gas mist supply device 31 or discharges the gas or gas mist from the pressure bathing cover 41. Further, the pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism is inside installed with a thermometer 62 for measuring a temperature within the pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism. The control device 51 performs on-off of a heater installed in the liquid supply means 21 on the basis of measuring values of the thermometer 62 for maintaining a pre-determined temperature (for example, around 38° C.) bringing about warm bath effects within the pressure bathing cover 41.
The pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism has, around its opening, a stopper 42 for attaching to and detaching from the living organism (herein, as the example, the lower extremity of the living organism) and for stopping leakage of the gas mist and the gas. The stopper 42 is suitably composed of, e.g., a face stretching fastener, or may have a sole string or rubber or their combination. For heightening a sealing property in the pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism, the inside (that of the stopper 42) may have a material attaching to the user's skin. The adhesive material is preferably, e.g., a visco-elastic gel of polyurethane or silicone rubber. Further this adhesive material is detachably used and exchangeable each time or if viscosity becomes weak.
The control device 51 is composed of a computer having CPU, memory and display. This device 51 performs various kinds of controls for carrying out the gas mist pressure bath under the optimum condition, such as pressure control of or on-off switch of the gas supplied from the gas supply means 11, 12, supply and switch of the gas into the gas mist supply device 31/the pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism, controls of supplying pressure or temperature of the liquid from the liquid supply means 21, or on-off switch of the gas mist. In particular, preferably, when the pressure value becomes more than a predetermined value in the pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism, such a structure is composed to stop supplying the gas from the gas supply means 11, 12 by the control device 51.
For carrying out the gas mist pressure bathing by using the gas mist pressure bath system of the present embodiment, the pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism is secured to the living organism (herein, as the example, the lower extremity) and closed. Into the gas mist supply device 31, the liquid is supplied from the liquid supply means 21, and next, into this liquid, the gas is supplied from the second gas supply means 12 for causing the gas to be dissolved in the liquid. Next, the gas is injected into the liquid from the first gas supply means 11 to generate the gas mist. Then, the control device 51 controls the supplying pressures, amounts, or temperatures of the liquid and the gas. The generated gas mist is supplied from the supply port 43 into the pressure bathing cover 41. If the mist is enough filled in the pressure bathing cover 41, only the gas is directly supplied from the second gas supply means 12 into the pressure bathing cover 41. When the inside of the pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism becomes an optimum pressurized and heated condition (around 1.02 to 2.5 air pressure and around 38° C.) in view of the measuring values of the manometer 61 and the thermometer 62, the control device 51 once stops supply of the gas mist or the gas, and under this condition the gas mist pressure bath is carried out.
The above mentioned explanation has been made with the example of the lower extremities of the human living organism, and the invention is applicable to various parts. Then, the optimum gas mist pressure bathing is performed, employing forms of the pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism meeting object parts of the living organism.
Further,
In regard to the pressure bathing cover 41, other than the examples shown in
In addition, since pressurization in the gas mist pressure bath heightens the effects by pressurizing in pulsing at predetermined interval, the control device 51 may supply the gas mist into the pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism intermittently at fixed rhythm. As to the pressurizing interval at such a case, if synchronizing with pulsations, the effects are more heightened.
As shown in
The pressure bathing cover 81 has almost the same structure of the pressure bathing cover 41 shown in the first embodiment, and has the stopper 82 and the gas mist and gas supply port 83, provided herein that the supply port 83 is connected to the pressurizing part 71. By the way, the example hereof illustrates the pressure bathing cover 81 of a shape for covering a hand of the living organism.
The pressurizing part 71 is the gas storage being hollow connecting the pressure bathing cover 81 because of carrying out pressurization therein. The pressurizing part 71 is connected to the supply port 83 of the pressure bathing cover 81 and has also the supply port 72 of itself from which the gas mist or the gas are supplied inside. The supply port 72 of the pressurizing part 71 is also provided with the check valve for checking back flow of the gas mist and the gas. After storing the gas mist or the gas in the pressurizing part 71, if pressurizing as crushing the pressurizing part 71 as showing with arrows, since the gas mist or the gas in the pressurizing part 71 are discharged as escaping into the pressure bathing cover 81, its inside can be pressurized.
The pressurizing part 71 may be structured as pressing manually, and mechanically by controlling the control device 51 using a driving device or the like. As mentioned above, pressurization in the gas mist pressure bath system heightens effects by performing interval pressurization in pulse, and so the pressurizing part 71 may be pressed intermittently. The pressurizing interval heightens effects by synchronizing with pulsation of pulse.
For carrying out the pressure bathing by using the gas mist pressure bath system of the present embodiment, the pressure bathing cover 81 is secured to the living organism (herein, as the example, the hand) and closed. To the gas mist supply device 31, the liquid is supplied from the liquid supply means 21, and subsequently, the gas is supplied into this liquid from the second gas supply means 12. Next, the gas is injected into the liquid from the first gas supply means 11 to generate the gas mist. At this time, the control device 51 adjusts the supplying pressures, amounts or temperatures of the liquid and the gas. The generated gas mist is supplied from the supply port 83 via the pressurizing part 71 into the pressure bathing cover 81 for the living organism. When the mist is enough filled in the pressure bathing cover 81 for the living organism, only the gas is directly supplied from the second gas supply means 12 into the pressure bathing cover 81 for the living organism via the pressurizing part 71.
Thereby, in the gas mist supply device 31, the gas mist is generated by the fluid nozzle, and the generated gas mist is supplied from the supply port 83 into the pressure bathing cover 81 for the living organism via the pressurizing part 71. When the mist is enough filled in the pressure bathing cover 81, only the gas is directly supplied from the second gas supply means 12 into the pressure bathing cover 81 for the living organism via the pressurizing part 71. The control device 51 so controls that the inside of the pressure bathing cover 81 is to be at an optimum temperature (for example, around 38° C.) from the measuring values of the thermometer 62. When the gas mist or the gas of the optimum amount is stored in the pressure bathing cover 81 and the pressurizing part 71, the pressurizing part 71 is pressurized as crushed. Thereby, the gas mist or the gas in the pressurizing part 71 are discharged into the pressure bathing cover 81, and the inside of the pressure bathing cover 81 for the living organism is pressurized moderately (around 1.02 to 2.5 air pressure) and the gas mist pressure bath is carried out.
As having mentioned in the first embodiment, since the pressure bathing cover 81 is applied to various parts of the living organism, various shapes may be used, provided in this embodiment that shapes (size) must be easily pressurized by the pressurizing part 71. This substantially depends on the dimension of the pressurizing part 71. Actually, so far as pressurizing means are any one, the pressurizing part 71 is desirably compact as not demanding large spaces, and accordingly, the pressure bathing cover for the living organism is also desirably applied to comparatively compact objects (covering the limited parts of the living organism).
An discharge port may be formed for discharging the gas mist and the gas from the inside of the pressure bathing cover 81 for the living organism. In addition, the invention may be applied not only to the humans but also to animals.
In the above embodiment, the pressurizing part 71 is the hollow gas storage connected to the pressure bathing cover 81 for the living organism, and so far as materials of easily pressurizing as crushing externally the pressure bathing cover 81 itself, any materials are sufficient.
As shown in
The electrode 92 supplies an electric charge (minus charge is desirable) when discharging the mist generated by the gas mist supply device 31 from the gas mist discharge port 36. Thereby, the mist is made turn out charged so that adhesion to a charged material can be heightened. For example, if adhesion to the skin and the mucous membrane of the living organism, an effect of increasing absorption of the gas by the mist is further heightened, and if the mist contains medicines as above mentioned, penetration into the skin and the mucous membrane can be accelerated.
For carrying out the gas mist pressure bathing by using the gas mist pressure bath system of the present embodiment, the pressure bathing cover 41 is secured to the living organism (herein, as the example, the hand) and closed. To the gas mist supply device 31, the liquid is supplied from the liquid supply means 21, and subsequently, the gas is supplied into this liquid from the second gas supply means 12. Next, the gas is injected into the liquid from the first gas supply means 11 to generate the gas mist. At this time, the control device 51 adjusts the supplying pressure, amount or temperatures of the liquid and the gas. Further, the control device 51 turns on the power supply device 91 and supplies the charge to the mist from the electrode 92. The generated gas mist is supplied from the supply port 43 into the pressure bathing cover 41 for the living organism. When the mist is enough filled in the pressure bathing cover 41, only the gas is directly supplied from the second gas supply means 12. When the inside of the pressure bathing cover 41 becomes optimum pressure and heated condition (around 1.02 to 2.5 air pressure) from the measuring values of the manometer 61 and the thermometer 62, the control device 51 once stops supplies of the gas mist or the gas, and the gas mist pressure bathing is carried out.
With the structure as mentioned above, according to the gas mist pressure bath system of the invention, since it is possible to control the amount, pressure and other of the gas mist within the pressure bathing cover for the living organism by the control device, the gas mist pressure bath can be always carried out under the optimum condition.
Further, pressurization into the pressure bathing cover for the living organism is easy, the gas skin-pass absorption can be more efficiently performed.
The above explanation has been made to the embodiments of the invention, but the invention is not limited thereto, and so far as not deviating from the subject matter of the invention, various kinds of embodiments are, of course, available.
Thus, the present invention relates to the gas mist pressure bath device, in which the gas mist is prepared by pulverizing and dissolving the gas and the liquid, and the gas mist is directly contacted to the skin or mucous membrane of the living organism at pressure more than the predetermined value, and has an industrial applicability.
