[0003]

However, the above-mentioned conventional examples have the following problems and disadvantages. In other words, in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3048001 and JP-A-10-146370, the scalp is easily damaged when the scalp is too strong. There is a problem that it is very difficult to apply an appropriate pressing force without damaging the scalp, and these brushes can easily apply a vertical pressing force to the scalp, There is a drawback that it is difficult to perform a horizontal massage (hereinafter, this is referred to as a hand massage).

The massage device disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2903315 does not stimulate the scalp by its own action, and is effective, for example, when the person receiving the massage and the person performing the massage are different persons. However, when the user performs a massage himself, he must apply a strong pressing force with his hand always up, so the hand is tired and it is not possible to perform a timely and careful massage. There was a problem.

[0005] Therefore, there has been a problem to develop a scalp massage device having a structure capable of applying an appropriate pressing force without damaging the scalp and allowing the user to easily and easily perform a hand massage. .

[0006]
