Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a relaxation device that has a relaxation effect on the user.
  • a relaxation device in the prior art, for example, as described in patent document 1, includes a rocking driving means for rocking a body supporting means, which supports the body of the user, in forward and rearward directions, and a controlling means for controlling the rocking driving means to change the rocking amplitude of the body supporting means.
  • the relaxation device has a relaxation effect on a user that is produced by changing the rocking amplitude.
  • Patent Document 1 Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2000-300374
  • a case, which covers the rocking driving means, and the body supporting means are spaced apart by a clearance so that the body supporting means and the case do not interfere with each other.
  • a cover formed by, for example, a cloth or the like covers the clearance so that components of the rocking driving means are not exposed from the clearance.
  • the cover is evenly stretched, for example, at a stop position of the body supporting means.
  • the use of a flexible cover allows the cover to be deformed in accordance with the rocking of the body supporting means.
  • the cover is flexible, when, for example, foreign matter is pushed against the cover, it is difficult to prevent foreign matter from entering the clearance. When foreign matter is pushed against the cover and into the rocking driving means through the clearance, the foreign matter may inflict damages on the rocking driving means.
  • the relaxation device includes a body supporting means for supporting a user's body and including a seat, a rocking driving means for rocking the body supporting means in at least one direction, a controlling means for controlling the rocking driving means, a case that covers the rocking driving means, and a cover member attached to both the case and the body supporting means.
  • the cover member closes a clearance between the case and the body supporting means, and the cover member is deformable in correspondence with the rocking of the body supporting means.
  • the cover member includes an inner cover and an outer cover, which covers the inner cover and has higher flexibility than the inner cover.
  • the use of a plurality of covers for the cover member prevents foreign matter or the like from entering the rocking driving means when the cover member is pushed.
  • the inner cover is less flexible than the outer cover.
  • the inner cover hinders the pushing force applied to the outer cover. This prevents foreign matter or the like from entering the rocking driving means in a preferable manner.
  • the outer cover is more flexible than the inner cover. Thus, by stretching the outer cover without forming wrinkles, the outer appearance of the entire device can be improved.
  • the outer cover includes a side surface stretched in a direction that is substantially the same as the rocking direction of the body supporting means.
  • This structure maintains a wrinkle-free state in which tension is not applied to the outer cover even during rocking.
  • the outer appearance of the relaxation device is improved.
  • the body supporting means further includes a backrest
  • the backrest includes a backrest body, which is coupled in a tiltable manner to the seat, and a covering, which covers the backrest body.
  • the covering is formed integrally with the cover member.
  • the cover member conceals a structure that couples the backrest in a tiltable manner to the seat.
  • a separate concealing member This reduces the number of components and further improves the outer appearance of the device.
  • the cover member includes a portion that is continuous with the covering of the backrest, and the portion is arranged in a loose state.
  • the loosening of the cover member at the rear portion which does not easily come into the user's field of view, maintains the appeal of the outer appearance. Further, the tilting of the backrest does not apply a large amount of tension to the cover member. This allows the backrest to be tilted.
  • the cover member includes a plurality of segments that are connectable by a zipper.
  • the cover member can be easily attached to the body supporting means and the case.
  • the cover member includes a first segment and a second segment that are connectable by a zipper, the first segment is attached to a covering of the seat, and the second segment is attached to the covering of the backrest.
  • the cover member can easily be attached to the seat and the backrest.
  • Figs. 1 and 2(a) show a schematic diagram of a relaxation device of the present embodiment.
  • a relaxation device 10 includes a pedestal 11 with a bottom portion 11a placed on a floor surface (not shown), a rocking driver 12 serving as a rocking driving means arranged on the pedestal 11, and a body supporting member 13 serving as a body supporting means rocked by the rocking driver 12.
  • the rocking driver 12 is mostly covered by a case 14.
  • the rocking driver 12 includes a motor 20, a reduction gear 21, a crank mechanism 22, and link members 23 (e.g., two).
  • the motor 20 and a control unit 24, which serves as a controlling means for controlling and driving the motor 20, are arranged on an upper surface of the bottom portion 11a of the pedestal 11.
  • the reduction gear 21 is also arranged on the upper surface of the bottom portion 11a of the pedestal 11.
  • the reduction gear 21 is drive-coupled to the motor 20 to decelerate the rotation speed of the motor 20.
  • the motor 20 includes a position sensor (not shown) such as an encoder. The position sensor detects rotation speed and rotation position.
  • the crank mechanism 22, which includes a crank member 22a and a rod member 22b, converts the rotational drive of the reduction gear 21 to an arc motion having an extremely large radius.
  • the crank member 22a includes a basal end, which is coupled to an output shaft of the reduction gear 21 so as to be rotatable integrally with the output shaft, and a distal end, which is coupled in a rotatable manner to a basal end of the rod member 22b.

  • the front segments 43a and 44a of the inner and outer covers 41 and 42 include upper ends that are connected to a lower surface of the seat 30.
  • the rear segments 43b and 44b include upper ends connected to a lower surface of the backrest 31.
  • the backrest 31 includes a backrest body 31a, which is formed from, for example, resin, and a covering 31b, which covers the backrest body 31a.
  • the rear segments 43b and 44b of the inner and outer covers 41 and 42 are, for example, sewn integrally with the covering 31b of the backrest 31.
  • the seat 30 includes a seat body 30a and a covering 30b, which covers the seat body 30a.
  • the ottoman 32 includes an ottoman body 32b and a covering 32b, which coves the ottoman body 32b.
  • the inner and outer covers 41 and 42 include rear portions 46, which are continuous with the backrest 31 at the rear part of the rear segments 43b and 44b.
  • the rear portions 46 have a predetermined looseness and are arranged in a loose state to allow tilting of the backrest 31.
  • the left and right surfaces 42a of the outer cover 42 are stretched so that tension is applied in the same direction as the rocking direction, that is, the forward and rearward directions.
  • the inner cover 41 is stretched so that wrinkles do not form when the rocking of the seat 30 of the body supporting member 13 stops at a stop position (e.g., lowermost rocking position).
  • control unit 24 controls the motor 20 of the rocking driver 12 and performs relaxation rocking by slowly rocking the body supporting member 13 in the forward and rearward directions within a predetermined rocking range. Further, the control unit 24 changes the rocking frequency and amplitude in predetermined time intervals and changes the angles of the backrest 31 and the ottoman 32 to control rocking so that the user is in a relaxing position.
  • the clearance between the seat 30 and the case 14 is concealed by the inner and outer covers 41 and 42, which are formed from stretch fabrics.
  • the use of two covers, namely, the inner and outer covers 41 and 42 effectively prevents foreign matter or the like from entering the rocking driver 12.
  • the inner cover 41 has less flexibility than the outer cover 42.
  • the outer cover 42 is more flexible than the inner cover 41, the outer appearance of the relaxation device 10 can be improved by stretching the outer cover 42 so that wrinkles do not form.
  • the side surfaces 42a of the outer cover 42 are stretched without forming wrinkles in the same direction as the rocking direction (forward and rearward directions) of the body supporting member 13, This applies tension to the outer cover 42 even during rocking and maintains a wrinkle-free state. Further, the outer appearance of the relaxation device 10 is improved.
  • the covering 31b covering the backrest body 31a, which is connected to the seat 30 in a tiltable manner, is formed integrally with the cover member 40. This eliminates the need for a separate structure that attaches the cover member 40 to the covering 31b. Thus, the number of components can be reduced, the exposure of unnecessary components can be prevented, and the outer appearance can be improved. Further, the structure for coupling the backrest 31 in a tiltable manner to the seat 30 is concealed by the cover member 40. This eliminates the need for a separate concealing member. Thus, the number of components can be reduced, and the outer appearance of the relaxation device 10 can be improved.
  • the rear portion 46 which is continuous with the backrest 31, is formed to be loose. In this manner, the loosening of the cover member 40 at the rear portion 46, which does not easily come into the user's field of view, maintains the appeal of the outer appearance. Further, the tilting of the backrest 31 does not apply a large amount of tension to the cover member 40. This allows the backrest 31 to be tilted.
  • the seat 30 is coupled to the base 25 in a state in which the backrest 31 is not arranged on the seat 30. Then, only the front segments 43a and 44a of the inner and outer covers 41 and 42 are attached to the seat 30 and the case 14.
  • the backrest 31, including the covering 31b is coupled in a tiltable manner to the seat 30.

  • the rear segments 43b and 44b and the front segments 43a and 44a are connected by the zippers 45.
  • the cover member 40 is separable by the zippers 45.
  • the cover 40 is easy to handle. More specifically, the cover member 40 can easily be attached to the body supporting member 13 and the case 14.
  • the relaxation device of the above embodiment has the advantages described below.
  • the tension direction of the left and right surfaces 42a of the outer cover 42 is not limited to the same direction as the rocking direction (forward and rearward directions).
  • the covering 31b which covers the backrest body 31a, and the cover member 40 do not have to be formed integrally with each other.
  • the covering 31b may be discrete from the cover member 40.
  • the rear portion 46 which is the backrest 31 (rear side) of the cover member 40, does not have to have a predetermined looseness and be in a loose state and may instead be in a tense state in which tension is applied thereto.
  • the cover member 40 may be formed by three or more segments.
  • the separation positions of the cover member 40 may be located in the front surfaces or rear surfaces of the inner and outer covers 41 and 42.
  • the cover member 40 may be inseparable.
