(C) is a perspective view of the protrusion member. In the figure, 1a and 1b are projection members, 1c is a flange, 2 is an upper plate, 3 is a bottom plate, 4 is a frame member, and 5 is a cushion rubber.

Although the shape of the frame member 4 is substantially square in this embodiment, it is rectangular, circular, elliptical, hexagonal,
An appropriate shape such as a polygon such as a polygon can be used.
The upper plate 2 is attached to the upper step of the frame member 4 by bonding or the like. The upper plate 2 is provided with a number of holes, into which the projecting members 1a and 1b are inserted and supported. As shown in FIG. 2 (C), the protrusion 1a has a flange 1c having a larger outer diameter for preventing the protrusion 1a from coming off. It is preferable that the tip of the projection member has a convex curved surface. In one example, the shape is substantially hemispherical. However, the shape may be a half of a spheroid slightly sharper than the hemisphere. The only difference is that the protruding member 1b is formed to be higher than the protruding member 1a.
Same as a. In this embodiment, the projection member 1b
Was used only for the central six, and the other used the protruding member 1a. However, the height of the protruding member may be gradually reduced from the center toward the periphery. By making the central protruding member higher than the peripheral portion, the pressing force of the arch of the sole of the foot can be made appropriate, and a form suitable for uniformly stimulating the pot of the entire sole of the foot can be obtained. it can.
Of course, all the protrusion members may have the same height.

The relationship between the inner diameter of the hole in the upper plate 2 and the outer diameter of the projecting members 1a, 1b inserted therein is as follows.
However, it is sufficient that a gap capable of smoothly moving up and down can be secured. A cushion rubber 5 is provided between the bottoms of the protrusion members 1 a and 1 b and the bottom plate 3. By disposing the cushion rubber, the bottom surface of the projection member pressed down by the pressing can be elastically supported to give the projection member a cushioning property. The cushion rubber 5 has an advantage that when the protruding members 1a and 1b are pressed, the lower surface thereof is hardly slipped, and can be prevented from moving in the lateral direction. As the cushion rubber 5, foam rubber such as foamed urethane rubber or foam butyl rubber, synthetic rubber, natural rubber, or the like, which has appropriate elasticity and durability, and which gives the projection members 1a and 1b an appropriate cushioning property. Select.

The upper plate 2 attached to the frame member 4 is assembled.
Then, the protrusion members 1a and 1b are inserted from the back side, the cushion rubber 5 is placed, and the bottom plate 3 is attached. The mounting of the bottom plate 3
It may be fixed by screws or nails or fixed by bonding.

The pot pusher of this embodiment can be placed on the floor, ride from above, and stimulate the pot on the sole of the foot by the weight load.

However, similarly to the first embodiment, the upper plate and the frame member may be configured by different members. When wood is used as the material of the upper plate 1, a circular hole may be cut out leaving a portion of the upper plate to form the upper plate 1 with an integrated frame member.

The connecting rod 6 is fixed to one of the pot pushers and inserted into a hole provided in the other pot pusher. Therefore, by pulling out or pushing in the connecting rod, the distance between the two crucible pushers can be adjusted. A stopper member 7 is provided to prevent the stopper member from coming off. The stopper member 7 is provided with a protruding locking portion 7a for locking on both ends, and as shown in FIG. 4B, is fitted to a groove 2a formed on the bottom surface of the pot pusher. Attached to lock the inner surface of the circular holes of the two pot presses. The stopper member 7 may be provided so as to be located inside the bottom plate 3. However, the stopper member 7 is provided at a position flush with the bottom surface of the pot pusher, and the groove 3 a for receiving the stopper member 7 in the bottom plate 3.
Is advantageous in that the thickness of the crucible can be reduced.

The pot pusher of this embodiment, like the pot pusher of the first embodiment, is placed on the floor, rides from above, and stimulates the pot on the sole of the foot by the weight load. . In the present embodiment, the interval between the two crucible pushers can be adjusted according to the width of the foot that is opened when the user stands.

Both have the same shape.

The cylindrical body 15 has a substantially hemispherical top, and has a hole at the center for inserting the projecting members 1d and 1e. The inner diameter of the cylindrical body 15 is formed larger than the outer diameter of the flanges of the protrusion members 1d and 1e. Projection member 1d,
1e has a different rounded top portion, and the protrusion member 1d has a shape that is sharper than the protrusion member 1e, but each has a convex curved surface. The outer diameter of the connecting member 18 is selected such that the outer diameter of the central portion is equal to the outer diameter of the cylindrical body 15, and the outer diameters of the narrowed outer diameters on both sides are tightly fitted to the inner diameter of the cylindrical body 15. Is done. The projecting members 1d and 1e are inserted into the two tubular members 15, the cushion rubber 5 is arranged, and the connecting member 18 is pushed in to assemble. In this embodiment,
The connection between the tubular body 15 and the connecting member 18 was a fitting structure. However, the coupling structure is not limited to the fitting structure,
A female screw may be formed on the inner surface of the cylindrical body 15 and a male screw may be formed on the connecting member 18 to form a connection structure by screwing, or an appropriate connection structure such as using an adhesive may be employed.

At the time of use, the user can appropriately select the protruding member 1d and the protruding member 1e according to the state and the part of the body and hold the tubular body 15 to use. The protrusion members need not always be provided on both sides, but may be provided only on one side.

Although various embodiments have been described above, the number, arrangement, and shape of the projecting members can be appropriately changed depending on the purpose of use.

In the above-described embodiment, the cushion rubber against the pressing force of the protruding member is used. However, the present invention is not limited to the cushion rubber, but may be a leaf spring, a coil spring, a taper spring, or the like. spring,
Further, an appropriate elastic member such as a bamboo material can be used.

[0036]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, in the case where a pot pusher is used to stimulate a so-called pot of a human body, a lower portion of the projection member for pressing the pot is used. The provision of the elastic member has an effect that the strength of contact with the skin can be appropriately reduced. In particular, in the case of a floor-standing type pot-pressing device in which it is impossible to adjust the pressing force, a moderate stimulus can be provided by relaxing the load due to the weight, which is effective.

In addition, since the projection member can be moved by the elastic member without relying only on one-sided pressing force as in the conventional crucible pusher, particularly in a roller-type crucible press,
A gentle stimulus can be given by the pressing force and the return force. Further, since the height of the projection member changes depending on the pressing surface such as the skin, the plurality of projection members have respective heights in accordance with the skin surface, and there is an effect that the stimulation can be evenly applied.
