Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the constitution of a pressing unit which presses a human body. SOLUTION: This massaging machine is constituted of a ring-shaped chain 2, one or a plurality of massaging elements 3 which are attached to optional locations of the chain 2, a roller 4 which makes the chain 2 rotatable, and is attached to the inner peripheral part of the chain 2, a guide roller 5 which supports the chain 2 together with the roller 4, and is attached to the inner peripheral part of the chain 2, and an electric motor which is attached to the roller 4 and rotates the roller 4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a massager for performing massage by pressing a human body with a massager.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional massage machine will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, taking a chair type massage machine as an example. FIG.
It is the front view explaining the inside of the conventional massage machine main part. FIG. 7 is a side sectional view of the massage machine of FIG.

In FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, a driving mechanism 11 is provided inside a backrest 10a of a chair-type massage machine 10, and the driving mechanism 11 is provided so that the inside of the backrest 10a can be moved up and down. And two racks 12 are stored.

The driving mechanism 11 includes a massager 13 disposed so as to be able to move on the surface of the backrest 10a in order to press a person's body, and a massager driving section for driving the massager 13. (Not shown), a pinion 14 extending from the drive mechanism 11 on the rack 12 to move the drive mechanism 11, a pinion drive (not shown) for driving the pinion 14, and the like. Have been.

[0005] The massager driving unit 11 drives the massager 13 to move the massager 13 up and down or left and right to press the human body. Further, the pinion 14 is rotated by the pinion driving unit, and the driving mechanism 11 is moved on the rack 12,
Press shoulders, back, waist, etc.

[0006]

As described above, in the conventional massage machine using the rack and pinion, when the massager is moved up and down with respect to the backrest,
By driving the pinion drive unit provided in the drive mechanism,
I had to move it up and down. Therefore, the structure becomes complicated,
In addition, since it is moved together with the pinion drive unit, its own weight increases, and power for this is also required.

[0007]

Therefore, according to the present invention, there is provided a ring-shaped chain, one or a plurality of massagers attached to an arbitrary portion of the chain, and the chain being rotatable, A roller mounted on the inner peripheral portion of the chain, a guide roller mounted on the inner peripheral portion of the chain, supporting the chain together with the roller, and an electric motor mounted on the roller and rotating the roller. The present invention provides a massage machine characterized in that:

[0008]

By driving an electric motor attached to a roller that supports a rotatable chain and makes it rotatable, a massager attached to the chain pushes the back of the person up and down.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG.
FIG. 2 is a front view illustrating the inside of the backrest of the massage machine according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a side view of the inside of the backrest of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is an enlarged front view of a meshing portion between the roller and the chain. FIG. 4 is an enlarged front view of an attachment portion between the chain and the massager. FIG. 5 is an enlarged side view of the attachment portion between the chain and the massager.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a chain 2 formed in an annular shape is provided inside a backrest 1 of a massage machine.
And one or more massagers 3 attached to an arbitrary portion of the chain 2, a roller 4 attached to an inner peripheral portion of the chain 2 for supporting and rotatably supporting the chain 2, and A guide roller 5 that supports the chain 2 together with the roller 4 and is attached to the inner peripheral portion of the chain 2 and an electric motor 6 that rotates the roller 4 are housed.

In FIG. 3, the pitch D of the engagement between the chain 2, the roller 4 and the guide roller 5 is increased so that the massaging member 3 can be smoothly turned over the outer circumference of the roller 4 and the guide roller 5. To

4 and 5, a massager guide 7 is attached to the chain 2 and fixed, and the massager 3 is attached to the massager guide 7.

[0013]

According to the present invention, a human body can be pressed with a simple structure.

[0014]
