Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mattress having a body massage function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are two types of massage devices: a hand-held type and an installation type. The installation type is a type in which a foot is placed in a supine position, and the whole body type is a chair type.

[0003] As is well known, the above-mentioned full-body massage machine generally massages the back, and the apparatus itself is expensive, and it is not desired to spread it to homes. For bedridden people who need nursing care, it is important to exercise the body or to give an appropriate massage in the sense of preventing bedsores, but to give a mechanical massage, In the chair type as described above, the care receiver needs to be transported, and it is difficult to adopt the chair type at home. Of course, even a healthy person,
It would be convenient if you could massage with simple equipment.

Therefore, the present invention proposes a novel mattress which can obtain a massage effect while lying down.

[0005]

In the mattress according to the present invention, the mattress is divided into three parts: a leg rest, a waist rest, and an upper body rest, and the leg rest and the upper body rest are separated. The present invention is characterized in that a normal cushion function is provided, a movable upper plate is provided on the waist rest, and a drive mechanism for operating the movable upper plate left and right is provided inside.

Therefore, when the patient lies on the mattress, the waist portion is positioned on the waist rest, and the drive mechanism is operated, the movable upper plate reciprocates right and left, and the waist of the supine person moves right and left. Since it shakes, a proper massage effect can be obtained.

[0007]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The mattress shown in the embodiment has a size for a normal single, and is divided into three parts, a leg mounting body 1, a waist mounting body 2, and an upper body mounting body 3.

When the mattress length is set to about 200 cm, the leg mounting body 1 and the upper body mounting body 3
The length of the body 3 should be 90-100
cm length and width is the width for normal single, about 10
It is about 0 cm, and both have a normal cushion function.

The waist rest 2 has a length (vertical direction) of 30 cm.
And a box-shaped main body 2 having the same width as the leg mounting body 1 or the like.
1 is provided with a movable upper plate 22 on the upper surface thereof.
Is provided with a drive mechanism for operating the left and right. More specifically, the guide rail 23 is laid horizontally inside the main body 21, a guide body 24 is provided on the back surface of the movable upper plate 22, and the guide body 24 is mounted on the guide rail 23 so that the movable upper plate 22 is Movable support.

A rotary drive source 25 such as a motor is built in,
In order to obtain a vertical axis rotation by a rotation transmission mechanism 26 such as a worm gear that converts the horizontal rotation to the vertical direction, and in order to make the vertical axis rotation a lateral movement of the movable upper plate 22, an eccentric rotation plate or the like is used. A crank 27 such as a cam mechanism is incorporated.

The leg mounting body 1 and the waist mounting body 2
When the upper body placing body 3 is arranged, a mattress is formed. When the mattress is supine so that the waist portion is positioned on the waist placing body 2 and the rotary drive source 25 is operated. , Rotation transmission mechanism 26 and crank 2
The movable upper plate 22 reciprocates left and right via the, and swings the waist of the supine person right and left.

Therefore, a proper massage effect can be obtained in a state of being laid down, so that not only bedridden persons but also healthy persons can obtain a massage effect as needed while using as a normal mattress. be able to.

The mechanism for moving the movable upper plate to the left and right is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and any suitable known device may be employed. May be incorporated, and other functions such as a vibrator may be added in addition to the left and right movement.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the mattress is divided into three parts: a leg mounting body, a waist mounting body, and an upper body mounting body. A mattress provided with a cushion function and provided with a movable upper plate on the waist rest, and a drive mechanism for operating the movable upper plate to the left and right inside, wherein the waist portion is located on the waist rest. By lying on the back and operating the drive mechanism, a massage effect can be obtained while lying down.
