PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stretch tool that is effective for relaxing and protecting against strain in the neck, the shoulder, the back, the waist, etc., by making stretching exercise attainable without strongly pressurizing around the back of the neck.SOLUTION: The stretch tool includes: a pipe-shaped intermediate pipe 2 and a pipe-shaped distal end side pipe 3 that linearly extends each from both sides of the intermediate pipe 2b. The intermediate pipe 2 includes a first intermediate pipe 2b that is bent in a manner opening obliquely to both sides in front from a center curved part 2a and a second intermediate pipe 2d that is bent in a manner opening obliquely to the rear side each from both distal ends of the first intermediate pipe 2. Each distal end side pipe 3 linearly extends from the distal end side of the respective second intermediate pipes 2d and, with the intermediate pipe 2 placed on the shoulder part, bringing both rear sides of the neck part C in contact with the front face side of the first intermediate pipe 2b. Then, both arms spread in the left/right directions are placed from the rear sides to the upper distal end sides of the respective distal end side pipes 3 to perform the stretching exercise.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】首の後部付近を強く圧迫することなくストレッチ運動できるようにして、首、肩、背中、腰などのこりの緩和や予防に効果的なストレッチ器具を提供する。【解決手段】パイプ状の中間パイプ部2と、この中間パイプ部2の両側からそれぞれ直線的に延びるパイプ状の先端側パイプ部3とを備え、中間パイプ部2は、中央湾曲部2aから斜め前方両側へ開くように曲げられた第1中間パイプ部2bと、この第1中間パイプ部2bの両側先端からそれぞれ斜め後方側へ開くように曲げられた第2中間パイプ部2dを有し、各先端側パイプ部3は、各第2中間パイプ部2dの先端側から直線的に延びており、中間パイプ部2を肩部の上に置くようにして第1中間パイプ部2bの前面側に首部Cの後部両側を接触させ、左右方向に広げた両腕を後方側から各先端側パイプ部3の上部先端側に載せてストレッチ運動を行う。【選択図】図1
