Description

FABLIC MATERIAL USING MICRO ELECTRICAL CURRENT AND CLOTHING USING THE FABLIC MATERIAL}

The present invention relates to fabrics and garments, and more particularly, to fabrics and garments using microcurrents that can combine fatigue recovery, growth plate stimulation, bacterial suppression, and the like while using clothing.

There are various kinds of clothing worn by humans such as tops, bottoms, overcoats, undergarments, socks, hats, gloves, belts, scarves, etc. These clothes are made using fabrics such as woven or non-woven fabrics, Can be used for decoration purposes.

Clothing can be used for various purposes in addition to protecting the body. For example, as described above, it can be used for decorating the body or expressing individuality, but as the technology related to the fabric is developed, various functionalities such as heat generation and moisture discharge may be included in the fabric.

The present invention provides a fabric and clothing that can have a minute electrical effect on the body in addition to the protective function with the wearing of the clothing.

The present invention provides a fabric and clothing that can have a fine electrical effect on the body by using a metal having different electrical properties, and can have a good effect on fatigue recovery, growth plate stimulation, bacterial inhibition, wound treatment, and the like.

The present invention provides a fabric and clothing that can perform a desired function by using a heterogeneous metal contact and the electrical characteristics of the body even without using a separate power source.

The present invention provides a fabric and clothing that can assist in improving the health and function of the body.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the fabric for using the microcurrent may be provided in the form of a woven fabric or non-woven fabric, and is formed in a portion to contact the body in the fabric provided by using a general insulating thread The first metal contact and the second metal contact formed on the other part spaced apart from the one portion to be in contact with the body in the fabric. The first metal contact and the second metal contact may be provided using a metal component, and may affect a minute current in a wearer's body by using a difference in electrical characteristics between the remotely spaced metal contacts.

For example, the first and second metal contacts may form a difference in electrical properties by using different kinds of metals, and the metals may form a thread itself as a metal, or may include an actual metal component to change the electrical properties of the metal. It can also be used. Due to the difference in electrical properties between the metals used, changes in the microcurrent can occur in the body. In addition, the metal contacts are located at a specific point on the human body, blood or meridians, etc., so that the wearer can provide the intended effect.

When the garment is formed of a fabric including the spaced first metal contacts and the second metal contacts, the clothes made of the fabric may also have a good influence on the minute electric flow of the body. The metal contacts may be provided in the form of straight lines, curves, patterns, etc. according to the pattern technology of a woven or nonwoven fabric, may be provided in a continuous form or a discontinuous form, and may be provided in various areas and shapes such as wide or narrow widths. Can be.

In the present specification, microcurrent refers to a current in the range of several to several hundred microamperes (μA), which is generally referred to as sub-sensory level stimulation. These microcurrent stimuli can be distinguished from other types of electrical stimuli because their currents are much lower in intensity than in the form of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. In addition, in the present invention, the microcurrent is not generated by an external current supply device, but is generated by a metal having different electrical characteristics such as electronegativity, thereby realizing a continuous and almost uniform microcurrent supply.

In contrast to the conventional microcurrent stimulator supplied with a microcurrent from the outside, by contacting a metal with a different electrical characteristics to the body, it is possible to generate a microamperes of microamperes in the body. By specific blood, meridians, and other parts of the body can be used for good effects or therapeutic purposes. Although there is an external microcurrent stimulator, the effects of microcurrents are described in 1) Oh, HJ, Kim, JH, et al., "Effects of microcurrent electrical stimulation on the histological structure of the wound of a rat," Journal of Physical Therapy "The Effect of Microcurrent Stimulation Therapy on Pain and Functional Recovery in Chronic Low Back Pain Patients", The Korean Journal of Physiology, Volume 3, Issue 1, February 2008 , 3) Park, Rae-joon, and Choi, Jun, et al., "Effects of micro-current shoe wear on foot fatigue and pain relief in patients with plantar fasciitis," Korean Journal of Physical Therapy, Vol. 18, No. 1, February 2006, , "Effects of micro-current shoe wear on blood flow changes in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis," Korean Journal of Physical Therapy, Vol. 18, No. 3, June 2006, Physics for Ryo Journal Vol. 6, No. 1, it can be seen through the paper, such as 1994.

The yarns of the fabric and clothing may be made to include materials such as gold, silver, copper, aluminum, and the like, and the portions that function as metal contacts may be provided in a pattern by partially weaving socks using the yarns. .

The fabric according to the present invention may be used in clothing and the like to provide a microelectrical effect on the body in addition to the function of protecting the body, and may provide an enhanced effect such as fatigue reduction, pain reduction, growth plate stimulation, and bacterial suppression. This uses metals with different electrical properties, which may have a small effect on the existing electrical flow or form a new flow in the body, and may have a good effect on pain reduction, fatigue recovery, growth plate stimulation, and the like.

The fabric according to the present invention can continuously maintain the influence of the micro current even without using a separate power source, and by stimulating blood or meridians with a heterogeneous metal contact can perform a medically intended function.

1 and 2, the garment 100 using the microcurrent includes a garment body 110, a first metal contact 140, and a second metal contact 145. The garment body 110 is formed in a general garment shape and may be provided as a fabric, as shown, but may also be provided as a nonwoven fabric in some cases. Basically, most of the area can use natural fibers such as cotton and silk or other synthetic fibers, and the weaving method can also be selected in various ways.

According to the present embodiment, the first metal contact 140 and the second metal contact 145 may be provided in a thread or fiber form, and may be provided together with the garment body 110. The first metal contact 140 and the second metal contact 145 are spaced apart from each other, and they may be directly contacted with the skin at or near the meridians or acupuncture points of the body, but may be spaced at a close distance. It may be.

The metal material for the first metal contact 140 and the second metal contact 145 may be mainly used as a material that does not have the same electrical characteristics, such as gold, silver, copper, and aluminum. If the material, other metal material may be provided.

By making the first metal contact 140 and the second metal contact 145 touch the body to affect the minute current, the wearer can reduce the fatigue or the pain of the body through the minute stimulus below the sensory level. In addition, since it is finely formed in the size of several to several hundred micro amperes (μA) due to differences in electric conduction and other potentials, the body can easily adapt to changes, and the generation of such micro currents is hardly detectable by the human body It can last almost permanently as a low number.

Referring to FIG. 2, the structure of a seal forming the metal contact 145 may be understood. The thread 150 forming the metal contact is used in the garment together with the fabric, the thread 150 may be generally provided in S- or Z-shape twist, twisted fiber 152 of the metal material to be provided Can be.
