DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a plan view showing the body friction device of the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 shows an example of a use state of the body friction cleaning device of the present embodiment. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the back is frictionally cleaned.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a body friction cleaning device 1 includes a flat cylindrical case 2 and the flat cylindrical case 2.
A sealed chamber 3 formed in a lower portion of the inside of the inside, a small motor 4 housed in the sealed chamber 3, a plurality of batteries 5 housed in the sealed chamber 3 and supplying electricity to the small motor 4, A friction cleaning head 6 connected to the rotating shaft 4a of the motor 4 and disposed along the upper surface of the closed chamber 3 to constitute a main part.

The flat cylindrical case 2 has an annular peripheral wall portion at a peripheral edge portion, and a closed chamber 3 is formed below the peripheral wall portion. At one end and the other end of the flat cylindrical case 2, attachment portions 2a and 2b for backflow belts 7a and 7b are formed. Also, the annular peripheral wall portion serves as a guide when the body friction cleaning device is pressed too hard against a predetermined portion of the body. The shape of the flat cylindrical case 2 is not particularly limited as long as the closed chamber 3 can be formed.

The closed chamber 3 has its upper end face plate 3a and the periphery thereof integrally connected to the inner surface of the flat cylindrical case 2, and its lower end face plate 3b has a waterproof screw 3 at the lower end of the inner surface of the flat cylindrical case 2.
s. Also, the rotating shaft 4 of the small motor 4
a penetrates the upper end face plate 3a while being waterproofly sealed by a seal member 4b, and a friction cleaning head 6 is detachably connected and fixed to the upper end portion thereof by screwing. A battery 5 is housed in the closed chamber 3, and a small motor is operated using the battery 5 as a power source.

Further, a pair of backflow belts 7a and 7b are mounted on the mounting portion 2a at one end of the flat cylindrical case 2 and the mounting portion 2b at the other end. With this configuration, as shown in FIG. 3, the bather 10 holds the two ends of the pair of backflow belts 7a and 7b with the hands 11a and 1 respectively.
By simply touching the friction cleaning head 6 of the body friction cleaning device 1 at one position on the back in 1b, the rotation of the friction cleaning head 6 allows the portion to be frictionally cleaned, and there is no need to move the arm for friction cleaning. On the opposite side of the friction cleaning head 6, a hand belt 8 is stretched over the flat cylindrical case 2.

Further, means for changing the number of revolutions of the small motor 4 is provided. As the rotation speed changing means, the small motor 4 is a shunt motor, and the lower end face plate 3b of the closed chamber 3 is used.
By manipulating a speed adjusting knob 9 attached to the outside of the device, a variable resistor (not shown) is changed to change the speed by adjusting the excitation.

The friction cleaning head 6 includes a contact portion 6a having an upper surface formed as a loop pile, and a base portion 6b supporting the contact portion 6a. And the base portion 6b
Has a joining portion that enables detachable joining to the rotating shaft 4 a of the small motor 4.

Next, a method of using the body friction device 1 and its operation will be described. First, soap is soaked in the friction cleaning head 6. For example, when washing the front side of the body such as the chest, abdomen, and legs, the user should use the hand strap 8 and the closed chamber 3.
The finger is inserted between the lower end face plate 3b and the flat cylindrical case 2 is held in the hand, and the speed adjustment knob 9 is turned on. Then, by rotating the friction cleaning head 6 and moving the friction cleaning head 6 by hand while making contact with the body, the front side of the body can be washed.

On the other hand, when washing the back, as shown in FIG. 3, the backwash belts 7a and 7b are held with both hands, and the rotating friction cleaning head 6 is moved along the back to perform friction cleaning. be able to.

It should be noted that, depending on the user, increasing the rotational speed of the friction cleaning head 6 can increase stimulation to the body and enhance the cleaning effect. Further, by replacing the head with another kind of friction cleaning head prepared in advance, the degree of body irritation can be adjusted. When the sole of the foot is washed, the contact portion 6a can be replaced with the friction cleaning head 6 made of pumice stone. Further, the body friction cleaning device 1 includes a friction cleaning head 6.
By using it in a dry state without soaking the soap into it, it can be used as a health appliance by rubbing dry cloth.
