Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invent relates to a multipurpose prevents
epidemics band, and more particularly to a multipurpose prevents
epidemics band which is produced by using traditional Chinese
medicine moxibustion and folk therapy so as to obtain protection,
heating, cold proof and worm functions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] A conventional moxibustion means igniting herbal medicine to
cure user, and it is easy to cause fire carelessly and have air
pollution. Also, patient will be burned to blister or to be
purulent to skins. In therapy process, the patient has to sit or
lie for a long time, thus having inconvenience and discomfort. A
conventional topical medicine agent contains herbal medicine bag,
herbal paste, medicine patch, or positioning strap of topical
formulations which is coated or pasted on user's skins, but it
cannot expand skin pores and blood vessels so that medicine is
absorbed via the skins.
[0003] A conventional mask is employed to stop dirties and dusts
flowing into nose and mouth. The conventional mask contains an
outer layer, a filtering layer, a skin contacting layer, and two
elastic ropes fixed on two opposite sides of the mask, wherein the
filtering layer is a nonwoven fabric with activated carbon and is
defined between the outer layer and the skin contacting layer, an
peripheral side of the filtering layer is in connection with an
peripheral side of the skin contacting layer and a peripheral side
of the outer layer.
[0004] Nevertheless, such a conventional mask still has the
following defects:
[0005] 1. In breathing, the air cannot be filtered completely after
passing through the filtering layer, thereby having poor
antibacterial and antiviral functions.
[0006] 2. The conventional mask is worn on user's ears by means of
the two elastic ropes, yet it cannot cover user's face tightly and
comfortably. For example, protecting rate of the conventional mask
is 50%. In other words, viruses and bacteria in the air pass
through the make easily and cannot be stopped entering user's mouth
and nose. Likewise, it is uncomfortable for the user after a long
period of using time.
[0007] The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate
the afore-described disadvantages.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide
a multipurpose prevents epidemics band which when a body is hanged
on acupuncture point or painful portions, it can be used as the
herbal medicine bag, herbal paste, medicine patch, or positioning
strap of topical formulations, and when the body is employed as the
topical formulations, the herbal medicine bag will not be placed in
an accommodating pocket but contact with skins directly, such that
the moxa bag generates heat to expand skin pores and blood vessels
so that medicines are absorbed via skin tissue, thus heating and
activating muscles and bones. Initiative will combine topical
transdermal route of administration is generally customary
formulations, and warm moxibustion package isothermal bags into one
of the innovative route of administration. Due to at least one
elastic rope is inserted through two opposite sides of the body,
and each of the at least one elastic rope has the adjusting member
fixed thereon so as to adjust covering positions of mouth and nose
when hanging the body on the user's head or other portions, hence
in breathing process, viruses and bacteria in the air pass through
a filtering nonwoven fabric but to be stopped entering user's mouth
and nose. The at least one elastic rope is not hanged on user's
ears to achieve wearing comfort. The multipurpose prevents
epidemics band contains protection, heating, cold proof and worm
functions to circulate blood and accelerate medicine absorption.
Likewise, it is convenient to be portable.
[0009] To obtain the above objectives, a multipurpose prevents
epidemics band provided by the present invention contains:
[0010] a body including a first outer layer, a second outer layer,
and a movable replacing layer, wherein the first outer layer is
attached on the second outer layer, and an accommodating pocket is
defined between the first outer layer and the second outer layer,
the accommodating pocket has at least one opening and is used to
accommodate the movable replacing layer, and the first outer layer
has a filtering nonwoven fabric soaked with herbal liquid;
[0011] at least one elastic rope inserted into two opposite sides
of the body;
[0012] an adjusting member fixed on each of the at least one
elastic rope;
[0013] hence the body is hanged on user's head or other portions,
and the adjusting member is arranged to adjust an expansion and
retraction of the at least one elastic rope.
[0014] The first outer layer includes the filtering nonwoven fabric
for stopping viruses and bacteria entering user's mouth and nose.
Preferably, the accommodating pocket is defined between the first
outer layer and the second outer layer and has a movable replacing
layer, the movable replacing layer has a herbal medicine bag and a
moxa bag, wherein the herbal medicine bag has five Chinese herbal
medicines processed and crushed for circulating blood and
preventing diseases, and the moxa bag has heating material
comprised of iron powders, magnets, activated carbon, sodium,
and
[0015] Chinese herbal medicines soaked with liquid mixed from five
Chinese herbal medicines. Thereby, the moxa bag is rubbed to
release heat so that temperature of the user's body is raised up to
40-45.degree. C. for relieving spreading of influenza virus.
Preferably, since mucus secretion occurs quickly after the moxa bag
is rubbed to release heat, viruses are removed from the user's body
with mucus secretion, thereby improving body's defense.
