Patent ID: 8920330

Claim:
A body compressor configured to be wound around a human body, comprising: a fluid bag which expands and shrinks due to supply and discharge of a fluid; a band-like body for accommodating the fluid bag; a reinforcing element attached to the band-like body; a fixing element attached to the reinforcing element; and a metal clip comprising a hanging part on one end and a fixed part on another end, wherein the metal clip is provided on one end part of the band-like body, the other end at part of the band-like body is inserted into the metal clip, and the metal clip is disposed above an upper surface of the reinforcing element, a metal clip-fixing position is a position where a distance from an end of the one end part of the band-like body to the metal clip-fixing position is longer than a distance from the hanging part of the metal clip to the fixed part of the metal clip, the reinforcing element extends from a position closer to a center part of the band-like body than the metal clip-fixing position to a position adjacent to the hanging part of the metal clip when the metal clip rotates away from the center part of the band-like body, the fixing element fixing the metal clip, disposed on the position closer to the center part of the band-like body than the metal clip-fixing position and hung on the fixed part of the metal clip, and two ends of the fixing element are attached to the band-like body through a part of the reinforcing element at the position closer to the center part of the band-like body than the metal clip-fixing position, an end of the reinforcing element is positioned between the metal clip-fixing position and the end of the one end part of the band-like body and adjacent to the hanging part of the metal clip when the metal clip rotates away from the center part of the band-like body, a rigidity of a part of the reinforcing element and the band-like body extending from the end of the reinforcing element to the metal-clip fixing position is higher than a rigidity of a part of the band-like body extending from the end of the one end part of the band-like body to the end of the reinforcing element, and a rigidity of a part of the reinforcing element and the band-like body present on a side closer to the center part of the band-like body than the metal clip-fixing position and corresponding to the fixing element is higher than the rigidity of the part of the reinforcing element and the band-like body extending from the end of the reinforcing element to the metal-clip fixing position.
