Abstract

PURPOSE:To hold the axial main body of a finger trainer with one hand and train for writing while stimulating finger nerves and also apply pressure to pressure points on each finger so as to increase memorizing effects by partitioning the axial main body in its axial direction, and providing pyramid-shaped protrusions or recessed channels in such a manner as being freely rotated, and providing an index of predetermined length at the end portion of the axial main body. CONSTITUTION:A user holds an axial protrusion 1 with his thumb, forefinger and middle finger in a manner of holding a writing instrument. The user then applies his antithenar to an antithenar holder main body 17 and holds the main body by inserting his third finger and small finger into a finger grip band 15. Next the user bends and stretches each finger so that two pyramid rotating bodies 9 and a recessed channel rotating body 4 are rotated and stimulate pressure points on each finger. Then the user performs motion to write some letter and spell a word with a needle 6 at the end of the axial main body 1, thereby correcting his way of holding writing instruments; besides, the user can clearly memorize in his brain through stimulus on each pressure point the shape of each letter and the meaning and spelling of the word written there.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a hand and finger training device that also stimulates acupuncture points, and is particularly useful for improving handwriting skills with pens, pencils, and ballpoint pens, as well as improving memory by stimulating acupuncture points. This invention relates to a hand and finger training device that also serves as acupoint stimulation.

[Prior art] There is no other way to improve the various skills that are performed using hands and fingers than by practicing, but it is particularly effective to repeatedly move the fingertips many times while holding a pencil or the like, in order to improve brush stroke technique. The present inventor has proposed a fingertip training device that performs flexion and extension movements of the fingertips, and the present invention can be used in combination with two known fingertip training devices to further exhibit its effects. It is something.

By the way, many nerves are concentrated in the fingers and fingers, and it is known that stimulating these nerves can have the effect of improving memory. To explain this further, it has been well known since ancient times that when memorizing the spelling of words, formulas for numbers, etc., the efficiency of memorization work can be improved by repeatedly writing them down.

The sensation of the fingertips is so sensitive to even the slightest pressure that it is said to surpass the precision of a machine, weighing 2 to 3 grams per square centimeter.
It is known how to feel the power of.

Therefore, with two fingers (thumb, index finger, and middle finger), grasp the shaft-like body of the present invention having a large number of pyramid-shaped protrusions on the outer circumferential surface of the present invention, which will be explained later, as if holding a pencil, and hold the tip of the shaft-like body with the tip of the pen. Or, if you repeat bending and stretching your two fingers while writing on the palm of your hand or in the air as if it were the tip of a pencil, the stimulation from the pyramidal projections on the outer periphery of the shaft-like body will cause the brain center to reach The transmission of information is also dynamically promoted, and the functions of the sensory organs, which are said to be abundant in the muscles of each finger, are activated, which shakes the brain and increases the perceptual power of the skin and kinesthetic sensations, which exceeds written memory. This principle is acknowledged by many psychologists.

On the other hand, we Japanese people write and use chopsticks. In that case, the force is applied to the muscles of the thumb and index finger, or
The little finger and ring finger also play an important role. By training the ball of the little foot, where the nerves are connected to the ring finger and little finger, the middle and index fingers will also receive the joint action, allowing you to balance the two fingers as a whole.

The fatigue in the hands will be recovered, and the rhythmic movement of the two fingers will not only help build the basics of writing skills, but also help people with clerical work, technical skills, sports, and other daily work, slow and clumsy people, and people with unbalanced hands. It is also useful for left-handed people (such as left-handed people) and people with hand and finger disabilities.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventionally, there has been a device that trains the handwriting without stimulating the nerves in the fingers by holding a shaft-like body in the hand, and at the same time applying acupressure to the acupuncture points of the fingers to increase the memorization effect. The present invention has been made to solve these problems.
