Massage machine 1 can be taked multiple mounting posture, specifically, can take to make 3 side faces of basket 2 to be in the 3 kind mounting postures (1st posture～3rd posture) of below to landing ground respectively.And above-mentioned 3 kinds of treatment mechanisms 3～5 are corresponding one by one with each mounting posture, and concrete condition will be described in detail below, and corresponding with it a kind of treatment mechanism can move when adopting a kind of mounting posture.

And the bobbin 6 of (insulation) electric wire (not shown) of the supply of electric power be used to receive external power source of reeling is set on a side of massage mechanism 1.Below for convenience of description, at massage mechanism 1 on the whole, as the left side, its opposition side describes as the right side the side that bobbin 6 is set.Also have, the massage mechanism 1 of this example mainly to be treatment target by the foot of therapist (comprising thigh, shank, the following foot of ankle), still is not limited thereto, and can be treatment target with wrist portion (body part till from the shoulder to the finger tip) also.

Fig. 2 is the front view of the various mounting postures of massage machine 1 shown in Figure 1, (a) be massage machine 1 under the situation of the 1st posture that can move of friction mechanism 3, (b) being massage machine 1 under the situation of the 2nd posture that can move of rubbing mechanism 4, (c) is the massage machine 1 under the situation of the 3rd posture that can move of slide mechanism 5.Shown in Fig. 2 (a), the massage machine 1 under the situation of the 1st posture is set in the treatment position 3a that utilizes 3 pairs of body part treatments of friction mechanism on the top of basket 2; Shown in Fig. 2 (b), the massage machine 1 under the situation of the 2nd posture is set in the treatment position 4a that utilizes 4 pairs of body part treatments of rubbing mechanism on the top of basket 2; Shown in Fig. 2 (c), the massage machine 1 under the situation of the 3rd posture is set in the treatment position 5a that utilizes 5 pairs of body part treatments of slide mechanism on the top of basket 2.And these

treatment positions

3a, 4a, 5a are set in 3 tops (in other words, being the crest line part) of the perimembranous of the basket 2 that roughly forms the triangle column respectively.Below each treatment mechanism 3～5 is elaborated in regular turn.

Fig. 3 is the front view of the structure of expression friction mechanism 3.As shown in Figure 3, friction mechanism 3 possesses the 1st treatment portion 10 of the length of two 11a, 12a with finger pressure ball, and these two the 1st treatment portions about 10,10 are connected in series.

In more detail, the 1st treatment portion 10 is by the opposed support disk 13 in the left and right sides be set up in these and support the

finger pressure rod

11,12 between

disks

13,13 to constitute.One finger pressure rod 11 constitutes by enlarge diameter reduction regularly along its long side direction, and the part that diameter is big constitutes finger pressure ball 11a.Another finger pressure rod 12 is also identical, forms the formation that enlarges diameter reduction along its long side direction regularly, and the part that diameter is big constitutes finger pressure ball 12a.Also have, under the situation of finger pressure rod 12, whenever several finger pressure balls 12a is provided with the bigger finger pressure ball 12a of some diameters, at the massage machine 1 of this example, form have among 3 finger pressure ball 12a one than big some of other two diameters structure.Also have, finger pressure is asked among 11a, the 12a, and finger pressure ball 11a diameter is bigger.

This

finger pressure rod

11,12 supports the periphery of the opposed faces of

disks

13,13 nearby to interconnect at its both ends at two that dispose relatively.And

finger pressure rod

11,12 disposes 4 respectively along many of the circumferencial direction concrete configurations of supporting disk 13 in this example.Friction mechanism 3 is so that two the 1st treatment portions 10 that the central shaft state coaxial shape setting consistent with left and right directions has such structure, interconnect by the outer surface that makes (center side of left and right directions) support disk 13 that has separately, be connected in series with realization.

On the center of supporting disk 13, form through hole (not shown) to left and right direction, rotating shaft 14 is inserted logical this place, is fixed in to support disk 13.The support disk 13 that the end 14a in the left side of rotating shaft 14 connects the 1st treatment portion 10 in left side extends laterally, props up the left side wall 2a that is held in basket 2 freely by 15 rotations of bearing portion.The support disk 13 that the end 14b on the right side of rotating shaft 14 connects the 1st treatment portion 10 on right side extends laterally, props up the right side wall 2b that is held in basket 2 freely by another bearing portion 15 rotations.

Set large diameter driven gear 16a between the left side support disk 13 that the 1st treatment portion 10 in left side has and the bearing portion 15 in left side, this driven gear 16a is coaxial fixing on rotating shaft 14.In basket 2, carry the 1st motor 17, the 1 motor on the one hand and prop up the left side wall 2a that is held in basket 2 by not shown carriage.The 1st motor 17 makes output shaft 17a set towards the left side wall 2a of basket 2, and the drive pulley 18a of minor diameter is installed in its end.This drive pulley 18a is connected with the major diameter driven pulley 18b that rotation on the left side wall 2a of basket 2 is supported freely by belt 18c.Form coaxial shape ground again and install integrally than the little driven wheel 16b of above-mentioned driven pulley 16a diameter on driven pulley 18b, this driven wheel 16b and driven gear 16a are meshing with each other.

If adopt such structure, then the 1st motor 17 drives, and output shaft 17a passes to rotating shaft 14 by

belt pulley

18a, 18b and

gear

16a, 16b with this rotation when a direction rotation.Consequently, rotate to a direction with rotating shaft 14, the 1 treatment portions 10,10.Again, the output shaft 17a of the 1st motor 17 is when other direction rotates, and 14, the 1

treatment portions

10,10 rotate to other direction with rotating shaft.

But, shown in Fig. 2 (a), under the situation of the massage machine 1 of the 1st posture, form formation rectangular shape in the plane, long opening 2c on the left and right directions on the top of basket 2.Above-mentioned friction results 3 is in being housed inside basket 2 time, and the top of the

1st treatment portion

10,10 is exposed to the outside from this opening 2c.Thereby by the foot of therapist, when driving friction mechanism 3, the

1st treatment portion

10,10 is driven in rotation in the top mounting of the massage machine 1 of the 1st posture, and

finger pressure ball

11a, 12a friction foot is to its treatment.Also have, in fact because the outside sheet (not shown) of installing covers opening 2c, so

finger pressure ball

11a, 12a contact with foot across this sheet.

Also have, Fig. 3 represents that friction mechanism 3 possesses the structure of two the

1st treatment portions

10,10 that are connected in series, but is not limited to this, also can be made of one the 1st treatment portion that forms longer size.That is to say,

support disks

13,13 for central interconnective 2 that also can save left and right directions in Fig. 3, adopt with about the finger pressure rod that has of the

1st treatment portion

10,10 11,12 banded structure in addition.Again, as the 1st treatment portion 10, can be any 1 treatment portion that only possesses in the

finger pressure rod

11,12, perhaps also can have the finger pressure rod different with top described structure.

Rubbing mechanism

Fig. 4 is the front view of the structure of expression rubbing mechanism 4, and Fig. 5 represents the Poewr transmission mechanism to rubbing mechanism transferring power shown in Figure 4.As shown in Figure 4, rubbing mechanism 4 possess sandwich left and right sides foot about the

2nd treatment portion

20,21, the 2nd treatment portion 20 in left side has press section, the outside 22 of pushing the left foot lateral part and the inboard press section 23 of pushing the left foot medial part.

Press section 22, the outside has the quill shaft 24 and the discoid plectane 25 of pushing that is arranged at the left part of this quill shaft 24 at the upwardly extending tubular of right and left.Push plectane 25 therein heart portion be connected in aggregates with quill shaft 24, and push plectane 25 with respect to quill shaft 24 orientations as described below, promptly the axle center 4c of quill shaft 24 and the central shaft of pushing plectane 25 (promptly pushing the orthogonal normal of disk by discoid center of pushing plectane 25 with this) form the angle (for example 10 spend) of regulation.And pushing on the plectane 25, the face 25a relative with the lateral part of left foot goes up along the circumferencial direction of pushing plectane 25 the treatment projection 25b that a plurality of synthetic resin are made is installed.

Inboard press section 23 has at the quill shaft 26 of the upwardly extending tubular of right and left and is arranged at the discoid plectane 27 of pushing of the middle body on the length direction of this quill shaft 26.Push plectane 27 therein heart portion be connected in aggregatesly with quill shaft 26, and push plectane 27 with respect to quill shaft 26 orientations as described below, promptly the axle center 4c of quill shaft 26 and the axle center of pushing plectane 27 form the angle (for example 10 degree) of regulation.And pushing on the plectane 27, the face 27a relative with the lateral part of left foot goes up along the circumferencial direction of pushing plectane 27 the treatment projection 27b that a plurality of synthetic resin are made is installed.

Has press section 22, the outside, from pushing the quill shaft 24 that plectane 25 extends to right, the part 26a internal diameter size that extends of direction (outside of rubbing mechanism 4) is big left from pushing plectane 27 in the quill shaft 26 that has than inboard press section 23, at the above-mentioned part 26a of quill shaft 24 inner intercalation quill shafts 26.Thereby move inboard press section 23 direction to the left and right, and inboard press section 23 can near or deviate from the outside press section 22.

The 2nd treatment portion 21 on right side, the symmetrical structure of the 2nd treatment portion 20 formation with above-mentioned left side possesses press section 22, the outside and inboard press section 23.But, in the quill shaft 26 that the inboard press section 23 of the 2nd treatment portion 21 on right side has, than pushing more the keep left part 26b of the side center side of mechanism 4 (rubbing) of plectane 27, in the quill shaft 26 that has with the inboard press section 23 of the 2nd treatment portion 21 in left side, than push plectane 27 more on the right side the part 26c of the center side of mechanism 4 (rubbing) compare, its internal diameter size is less.And the above-mentioned part 26b intercalation on right side relatively goes into the inside of above-mentioned part 26c in left side, about inboard press section 23,23 to the left and right direction move with mutually near or deviate from mutually.

And about the outside of pushing plectane 25 of the press section, the outside 22 that has of the

2nd treatment portion

20,21 set liner (spacer) 28,28.This liner 28 is to cut sth. askew and constitute than pushing smaller cylinder element one end of plectane 25 diameters, is to be used for landfill to push the gap in plectane 25 outsides and use.Equally, about the pushing of inboard press section 23 that have of the

2nd treatment portion

20,21 set liner 29,29 between the plectane 27,27.This liner 29 also is to cut sth. askew and constitute than pushing smaller cylinder element one end of plectane 27 diameters, is to be used for the gap that landfill pushes between the plectane 27,27 to use.And the internal diameter of the liner 29 in left side is bigger slightly than the outside dimension of the liner 29 on right side, and the liner 29 on right side can slide on the direction of axle center 4c with the state that a part is inserted in the liner that leads to the left side.

The rotating shaft 30 of the 2nd treatment portion 20, the 21 rotation usefulness about the inner space of quill shaft 24,26 is provided with and makes, this rotating shaft 30 cooperates with each quill shaft 24,26 spline (spline).Thereby quill shaft 24,26 can be independent of rotating shaft 30 ground to the left and right directions along the axle center of rotating shaft 30 and move, and on the other hand, is merely able to and 30 rotations in aggregates of this rotating shaft to the circumferencial direction of rotating shaft 30.Also have, when being through press section, the outside 22 and inboard press section 23 on the rotating shaft 30, each pressing plate 25,27 is opposite each other with respect to the incline direction of the axle center 4c of central shaft.Thereby the spacing distance of pushing plectane 25,27 of configuration is operated less part and bigger part relatively.

The left part of rotating shaft 30 is supported freely that by bearing portion 32 rotations of the left side wall 2a that is arranged at basket 2 right part is nearby also supported by bearing portion 32 rotations of the right side wall 2b that is arranged at basket 2 freely.And, than above-mentioned bearing portion 32 (outside) outstanding part more to the right, large diameter driven gear 33a (also with reference to Fig. 5) is installed with rotating shaft coaxle ground from right side wall 2b in the right part of rotating shaft 30.

As shown in Figure 5, across not shown carriage the 2nd motor is installed on the right side of basket 2, the right side wall 2b that the output shaft 34a of the 2nd motor 34 connects basket 2 gives prominence to foreign side.The right part of this output shaft 34a is equipped with the drive pulley 35a of minor diameter, the major diameter driven pulley 35b that this drive pulley 35a and substantial middle partial rotation at the right side wall 2b of basket 2 are supported freely and nearby be connected by belt 35d between right side wall 2b is rotated the driven pulley 35c of the minor diameter of supporting freely equally at it.

On the right side of major diameter driven pulley 35b (side nearby of the paper among Fig. 5), with driven pulley 35b coaxial and also therebetween across not shown clutch the driven wheel 33b of minor diameter is set.And the major diameter driven gear 33a that the right part of this driven wheel 33b and above-mentioned rotating shaft 30 is provided with meshes.Also have, above-mentioned clutch passes to driven wheel 33b with its rotation at driven pulley 35b under the situation of direction rotation, but its rotation is not passed to driven wheel 33b at driven pulley 35b under the situation of other direction rotation.

Thereby, the 2nd motor 34 drives, output shaft 34a is when a direction rotation, its rotary power makes its rotation by being transmitted to rotating shaft 30 by the Poewr transmission mechanism 37 that constitutes from drive pulley 35a, belt 35d, driven pulley 35b, driven wheel 33b and driven gear 33a.During rotating shaft 30 rotations, with the

2nd treatment portion

20,21 rotations in aggregates of its splined engagement.Again, drive at the 2nd motor 34, output shaft 34a is under the situation of other direction rotation, and by means of the effect of above-mentioned clutch, the rotation of the 2nd motor 34 is not transmitted to rotating shaft 30, and the

2nd treatment portion

20,21 does not rotate, and rubbing mechanism is failure to actuate.

Again, the

2nd treatment portion

20,21 had about push between the plectane 25,27 when driving the 2nd motor 34 under the state of placing foot, push plectane 25,27 and under the state of the lateral part of contact foot and medial part, rotate.And therefore the central shaft of pushing plectane 25,27 be accompanied by rotation with respect to the tilt angle of regulation of axle center 4c, about push 25,27 pairs of foots of plectane repeatedly near and away from, this action forms the rubbing action to foot.

Again, the inboard press section 23,23 of the

2nd treatment portion

20,21 be owing to can slide to the left and right along rotating shaft 30, thus with the distance of press section, the outside 22, promptly outside the spacing distance of pushing plectane 27 of pushing plectane 25 and inboard press section 23 of press section 22 can be according to by the different changes of the foot size of therapist.And as shown in Figure 4,, pushing the spring of installing between the plectane 25,27 as the means of energizing 38 in the inner space of the liner 29,29 of central authorities.About 38 pairs on this spring is pushed plectane 25,27 and is energized in the direction outside (i.e. the direction that deviates to both) to the left and right.Thereby the suitable pressure that the elastic force that can utilize spring 38 produces is pushed by the foot of therapist with pushing plectane 25,27.

But, shown in Fig. 2 (b), under the situation of the massage machine 1 of the 2nd posture, form opening 2d long on the left and right directions that forms rectangular shape on the plane on the top of basket 2.Above-mentioned rubbing mechanism 4 is in being housed inside basket 2 time, the about the first half in the

2nd treatment portion

20,21 from this opening 2d to exposing outside.Thereby, by therapist foot is positioned over the top of the massage machine 1 of the 2nd posture, in case drive 20,21 rotations of 4, the 2 treatment portions of rubbing mechanism, relatively configuration push plectane 25,27 from about rubbing foot implement treatment.And owing to, utilize this treatment projection 25b, 27d can crumple foot effectively it is loosened pushing installation treatment projection 25b, 27b on the plectane 25,27.And, therefore push plectane 25,27 and contact with foot across this sheet with treatment projection 25a, 27a in fact at partly be covered the corresponding sheet of shape (not shown) with the exposed portions serve of the

2nd treatment portion

20,21 of the opening 2d shown in Fig. 2 (b).

flange

42b, 47b, colludes screw hole 42c, the 47c that heart shape sets and interconnects by screw rod (not shown) is inserted.And form forwards, backwards direction in about central authorities of conversion member 47 and extend, the slotted hole 47a that connects at above-below direction.

Shown in the plane graph of Fig. 8,, set and it seems on the plane and form discoid crank 49 in the below of conversion member 47 (structure of representing this part on the plane among Fig. 8 with two-dot chain line).At the outstanding upward hub portion 49a of the upper surface setting of the circumference of this crank 49, this hub portion 49a inserts the slotted hole 47a of logical conversion member 47 from the below.

Below crank 49, set gear unit 51 that changes the direction that rotatablely moves and the gear-box 55 that holds this gear unit.Gear unit 51 by the axle center to the left and right direction worm screw 52 and constitute with the spur gear 53 of this worm screw 52 engagements, the coaxial shape of driven pulley 35c (with reference to Fig. 5) ground that had illustrated is connected in the right part of worm screw 52 to clutch 60 by folk prescription.

Gear-box 55 separates up and down, is made of upside case 56 and downside case 57.Upside case 56 and downside case 57 form laterally zygomorphic structure, form the recess 57a (the recess diagram of upside case 56 is omitted) that holds worm screw 52 and spur gear 53 on the face of mutual subtend.And be connected with downside case 57 at upside case 56, to use on every side under the fastening situation of screw rod, the space that each recess 57a forms holds said gear unit 51 with driven pulley 35c to the outstanding state in outside.And through hole 56b and

spur gear

53 and 49 coaxial connections of crank by the above-below direction that forms on the upside case 56.

Also have, as having illustrated in the explanation of rubbing mechanism 4, the driven pulley 35c that connects on the worm gear 52 goes up the drive pulley 35a that installs by the output shaft 34a that belt 35d is connected in the 2nd motor 34.

The slide mechanism 5 that constitutes like this utilizes the 2nd motor 34 that drives rubbing mechanism 4 to drive, and as mentioned above, the output shaft 34a of the 2nd motor 34 drives rubbing mechanism 4 when a direction is rotated, and output shaft 34a drives slide mechanism 5 when other direction rotates.

In more detail, as shown in Figure 5, the 2nd motor 34 drives, output shaft 34a is when other direction rotates, the driven pulley 35c rotation of large diameter driven pulley 35b and minor diameter, the rotation of driven pulley 35b does not pass to driven wheel 33b, and rubbing mechanism 4 is failure to actuate.On the other hand, the rotation of driven pulley 35c passes to crank 49 by worm gear 52 and spur gear 53, makes crank 49 rotations.In case crank 49 rotation, by hub portion 49a and the banded conversion member 47 of slotted hole 47a to the left and right direction move back and forth, will rotatablely move is transformed to rectilinear motion.

When conversion member 47 moved back and forth, slide block 42 banded with it was connected in the also direction slip to the left and right of foot mounting portion 40 on slide block 42 tops along guide rod 45 direction slip to the left and right.Thereby, when the recess 40a with foot mounting portion 40 supports that the actuation mechanism 5 of sliding in state of foot is moved, follow the reciprocating motion of foot mounting portion 40, be that the center rocks from side to side with the femoral joint by the foot of therapist, such motion is to having therapeutical effect to femoral joint.

Also have, the center of rotation that the reciprocal distance that this foot mounting portion 40 slides equals crank 49 is to 2 times of the distance of hub portion 49a.And at the output shaft 34a of the 2nd motor 34 under the situation of direction rotation because the effect of one-way clutch 60, the rotation of driven pulley 35c can not be transmitted to worm gear 52, slide mechanism 5 is failure to actuate.And for example shown in Fig. 2 (c), under the situation of the massage machine 1 of the 3rd posture, set the treatment position 5a that utilizes slide mechanism 5, have only foot mounting portion 40 to be exposed to the outside of basket 2 on the top of basket 2.

Again, up to now in Shuo Ming the treatment mechanism 3～5, rubbing mechanism 4 utilizes the 2nd identical motor 34 to drive with slide mechanism 5, therefore, compare with different electric motor driven situations respectively with each treatment mechanism 4,5, can reduce the use number of the bigger motor of weight, seek the lightweight of massage machine 1.And massage machine 1 uses two motor 17,34 altogether in order to drive treatment mechanism 3～5, these motor 17,34 separate configuration in basket 2 about.Like this, the motor 17,34 that weight ratio is bigger is positioned at both sides, therefore can guarantee that massage machine 1 has good weight balancing.

But, therefore the massage machine 1 of this example can prevent the situation that continues action in the actuation mechanism 5 of sliding in state that clips object owing to have detection clips the situation of object between foot mounting portion 40 and following support sector 90 (seeing figures.1.and.2) touch sensor 78 (with reference to Fig. 9).Promptly this touch sensor 78 is on support sector 90 suitably is arranged at face relative with foot mounting portion 40 etc., as following shown in Figure 9, be connected in control part 70, in a single day form and detect the situation that between foot mounting portion 40 and support sector 90, clips object, just this detection signal can be outputed to the structure of control part.Then, in a single day control part 70 receives this detection signal, and the 2nd motor 34 is stopped.Thereby even clip object between foot mounting portion 40 and support sector 90, because the 2nd motor 34 stops, the action of foot mounting portion 40 is also ended, and can prevent that therefore the situation that continues action in the actuation mechanism 5 of sliding in state that clips object from taking place.Also have, clip under the situation of object detecting between foot mounting portion 70 and the support sector 90, also can foot mounting portion 40 move till the distance of leaving support sector's 90 regulations, in this position motor 34 is stopped, for example the middle position that foot mounting portion 40 is stopped between the left and right sides support sector 90.Can also form foot mounting portion 40 (ends about it at least) with having sufficient flexual material, even like this and support sector 90 between exist under the state of object, foot mounting portion 40 continues to move back and forth, this object impacts can for massage machine 1 yet, just there is no need to be provided with touch sensor 78 in this case.

The detection of posture

Fig. 9 is that expression has the schematic block diagram of the function of the massage machine 1 of structure as mentioned above.As shown in Figure 9, massage machine 1 possesses control part 70, and this control part 70 is housed inside in the basket 2 (with reference to Fig. 1).Control part 70 is connected to above-mentioned the 1st motor 17 and the 2nd motor 34 by drive division 71,72.Thereby, utilize the control signal of control part 70, the signal of telecommunication of drive division 71,72 output regulations, the 1st motor 17 and the 2nd motor 34 are driven respectively according to this signal of telecommunication.So, since the driving of the 1st motor 17,3 actions of rubbing mechanism, and because the driving of motor 34, rubbing mechanism 4 and slide mechanism 5 move selectively.

Connect posture detecting sensor 74 on the control part 70 again.This posture detecting sensor 74 is pick offs that the posture (the 1st～the 3rd posture) to massage machine 1 detects, and is made of the proximity switch of schematic illustration among Fig. 9.In more detail, posture detecting sensor 74 has three Magnetic Sensor 76a～76c and the rotating magnetic disk 77 that is installed on the substrate 75.Three Magnetic Sensor 76a～76c are along uniformly-spaced (the i.e. 120 ° of intervals) configuration of concentric circular that with regulation point 75a is the center, and each Magnetic Sensor 76a～76c is corresponding to the 1st～the 3rd posture.Again, rotating magnetic disk 77 is propped up the magnet 77b formation of the rotating member 77a that is held in regulation point 75a and the front end that is installed on this rotating member 77a (end of keeping at a distance with regulation point 75a) freely by rotation, when this magnet 77b rotates at rotating member 77a, opposed with three Magnetic Sensor 76a～76c midway at its swing-around trajectory (consistent) with above-mentioned concentric circular.

Such posture detecting sensor 74 is nearby installed to such an extent that make the axis of rotation of rotating member 77a consistent with left and right directions at the left side wall 2a of massage machine 1.And rotating member 77a is no matter massage machine 1 is any in the 1st～the 3rd posture, because the relation of deadweight, magnet 77b is in vertical downward position with respect to regulation point 75a.Thereby when massage machine 1 was taked the 1st posture, Magnetic Sensor 76a was positioned at and the opposed position of magnet 77b (state of Fig. 9), detected the magnetic that magnet 77b takes place, and just control part 70 output expression massage machines 1 was taked the signal of the 1st posture.

Equally, when massage machine 1 was taked the 2nd posture, Magnetic Sensor 76b was in the opposed position with magnet 77b, and it takes the signal of the 2nd posture to Magnetic Sensor 76b to control part 70 output expressions.When massage machine 1 was taked the 3rd posture, Magnetic Sensor 76c was positioned at the opposed position with magnet 77b, and it takes the signal of the 3rd posture to Magnetic Sensor 76c to control part 70 output expressions.

Control part 70 is according to judging that from these signals of posture detecting sensor 74 massage machines 1 take a certain posture in the 1st～the 3rd posture, is judged as posture changing simultaneously in these signal interruption or when switching to other signal.When control part 70 is judged as posture changing, make treatment mechanism 3～5 all stop action regardless of whether moving, all controlling.For example when 3 actions of the 1st posture rubbing mechanism in case to the 2nd posture changing, comprise that the action of the whole treatment mechanism 3～5 of rubbing mechanism 3 just is in halted state.

Also have, in the above description, whole treatment mechanisms 3～5 under the situation of posture changing are become the such control situation of halted state describe, but be not limited to this.Also can as described belowly control, promptly under the situation of posture changing, treatment mechanism before changing (for example crumpling mechanism 3) takes halted state, and on the other hand, the treatment mechanism (for example crumple mechanism 4) corresponding with posture (for example the 2nd posture) after changing begins action.

By forming such structure, wanting after with a posture treatment does not need to operate separately the treatment mechanism that makes a posture and stops action under the situation with another posture treatment, can seek to improve operating characteristics.And can reduce simultaneously the number of the Switch member of massage machine 1, therefore can reduce the cost of massage machine 1.

But as described below, slide mechanism 5 is equipped between a pair of

support sector

90,90, makes foot mounting portion 40 move back and forth (with reference to Fig. 1) between this support sector 90,90.And, in this support sector 90, and clip under the situation of certain object between the foot mounting portion 40, because as mentioned above, therefore foot mounting portion 40 has pliability, can avoid the generation of situation of the damage etc. of massage machine 1 or object by means of the deflection of this foot mounting portion 40.

And for example top described, the massage machine 1 of this example possesses touch sensor 78.So, in case detecting between foot mounting portion 40 and the support sector 90, this touch sensor 78 clips object, its detection signal is just to control part 70 outputs.Control part 70 to drive division 72 output control signals, stops the 2nd motor 34 according to this detection signal.Thereby between foot mounting portion 40 and support sector 90, clip under the situation of object, can detect this situation the 2nd motor 34 is stopped, the action of foot mounting portion 40 is ended.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 9, connect on and off switch 80 on the control part 70, can switch by this console switch, the electric power that the mains supply that whether family is possessed with decision provides by cable (not shown) is input to control part 70 and drive division 71,72.And control part 70 connect can receiving infrared-ray signal acceptance division 81, can receive the infrared signal that remote controller 82 is sent, with its input control part 70.

Remote controller

Figure 10 is the outward appearance plane graph of remote controller 82 shown in Figure 9.Remote controller 82 has the thicker 82a of disk-shaped main body portion, sets 5 switch 83a～83e in the above.By pushing these switches 83a～83e, can send infrared signal by never illustrated efferent, this infrared signal is received by the acceptance division 81 of massage machine 1, is imported into control part 70.

Below each switch 83a～83e is specifically described, on and off switch 83a is set in the central authorities of main part 82a.By this switch 83a is pushed, can make the treatment mechanism action of the posture of taking corresponding to massage machine 1 in the treatment mechanism 3～5 or it is stopped.In Fig. 9, the right oblique upper of switch 83a is provided with acceleration switch 83b, at left oblique upper speed reducing switch 83c is set.These switches 83b, 83c shorten the switch of adjusting usefulness to the action of treatment mechanism 3～5, each push switch 83b, and speed of action increases, and each push switch 83c speed of action reduces.

Again, switch 83a right tiltedly below and a left side tiltedly below, the 1st roller switch 83d and the 2nd roller switch 83e of the direction of rotation of the 1st treatment portion 10 that decision friction mechanism 3 has are set.In case just to a direction rotation, in case push switch 83e, the 1st treatment portion 10 just rotates to other direction for push switch 83d wherein, the 1st treatment portion 10.

Like this, in this example, as mentioned above, massage machine 1 forms the structure that can treatment mechanism 3～5 be stopped by the change of posture, as long as so remote controller 82 possess above-mentioned 5 switch 83a～83e.Thereby, the operation (operation of massage machine 1) of remote controller 82 is become simply, can seek the miniaturization of this remote controller 82.This remote controller 82, can load and unload on the right side of massage machine 1 in this example owing to implement miniaturization.

The ground support member

But as shown in Figure 1, massage machine 1 forms as mentioned above and is roughly the triangle column in appearance.And in the end of its length direction, be arranged on when massage machine 1 is positioned over ground, contact the support sector 90 that massage machine 1 is supported on this ground.In more detail,, promptly roughly form each top of the basket 2 of triangle column, side face than basket 2 is set more to outstanding support sector 90 of foreign side's (direction that deviates from axle center 1a) in the end of the direction along axle center 1a (left and right directions) of basket 2.Thereby the end a side of basket 2 equally spaced is provided with 3 support sectors 90 along circumferencial direction, also along circumferencial direction three support sectors 90 is set uniformly-spaced in the other end.

Again, between a pair of support sector 90 at the both ends that are arranged at each top, set and any one corresponding one in the treatment mechanism 3～5, described a pair of support sector 90 is more outstanding to foreign side than therebetween treatment mechanism 3～5.It is circular-arc that these support sectors 90 it seems from the side that periphery forms, and is pasted with the non-slipping block 91 that synthetic resin is made at its end face.

Such massage machine 1 with the 1st～the 3rd posture mounting as shown in Figure 2 in the state on ground, in each posture massage machine 1 by means of about each two (four altogether) 90 of support sectors be held on the ground.Again, at this moment, support sector 90 can avoid treatment mechanism 3～5 direct kiss the earths owing to more give prominence to foreign side than treatment mechanism.And, by means of the non-slipping block 91 that sticks on support sector's 90 end faces, can stably massage machine 1 be positioned over ground.

And for example shown in Figure 1, at the left and right sides of massage machine 1 end face, nearby form the grip part 92 of concavity in each support sector 90.Thereby,, can be clipped this grip part 92 by therapist and support sector 90 takes up at carrying massage machine 1 or when changing posture.Again, sticking on non-slipping block 91 on support sector's 90 end faces can bring into play under situation about taking up like this and prevent its effect from slipping out on hand.
