Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for massaging or extending a body part, particularly a toe, via a ball or a rod-shaped roller.
The present invention relates to a massage device that can simultaneously achieve a pressing function.
Here, the massage device refers to a concept of a device that is irrelevant to the presence or absence of power.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Many massage devices for the sole of the foot have been published, and a pressing method using a ball or a roller is generally used. However, a massage device for a finger, particularly a toe, has not been found. Among other inventions that are believed to be closest to the present invention, Mitsuto 3051063 foot massager, Mitsuto 305
[0090] The sole massage tool and the like are for the sole of the foot via a roller.
The mat with a projection is a pressing of the sole of the foot by a sphere, and there is a Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 09-108296 between fingers as an invention related to the finger, but only a stick is inserted between the fingers. Therefore, it is not possible to expect an action of positively pressing the finger and further extending the finger. From such considerations, there is a drawback that the fingertip at the end of the blood flow cannot be sufficiently massaged and stretched. In addition, since the configuration is fixed, there is a disadvantage of lacking mobility, for example, removing a part and using it for massage of other parts.

[0003]

Most of the conventional sole massage devices mainly massage the sole of the foot, and most of the essential toe massage and finger extension that tend to cool down at the end of the blood circulation. I could not do it. Further, the conventional device has a drawback that its configuration is firmly fixed or heavy, so that the device is disassembled as it is or partially disassembled, and its use in other parts such as the waist, feet, and hands is limited. .

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention presses the toes with two upper and lower rollers in order to massage and extend the toes, which could not be achieved by the conventional equipment. The frictional force at the time of pulling out the finger is used to extend the toe. In addition, in order to efficiently massage the toes, it also guides the back and forth movement of the foot, and the ball sole massage device, bamboo step-like projection plate, etc. are modularized and organically arranged, and on a common base It is a set that is removably arranged. Also, because of the compact and lightweight modular structure, the device can be placed on the knees to massage hands, and the ball module can be removed simply by inserting and removing pins. It can be used for massage.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As a basic embodiment of the present invention,
As shown in FIG. 1, each mechanism element having a unique function, such as a toe massage and a finger extension, a sole massage, and a bamboo tread, is arranged on the same common plate so as to be easily attached and detached.

[0006]

An embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a basic configuration of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing toe massage. In FIG. 1, a ball module 2 including a ball 2a and a guide 2b is provided on a common plate 1.
And the upper and lower rollers, upper roller 3b, lower roller 3c, which are supported by the support 3a and arranged at appropriate intervals
, And a bamboo step-like projection plate 4 are disposed. On the shaft ends of the rollers 3b and 3c of the roller module 3, there are springs 3d acting to attract each other.
Are suspended and pre-pressurized. The ball module 2 is fixed by easily removable knock pins 2c and 2d, and can be attached and detached with one touch. In FIG. 1, holes 1a, 1b, 1c are formed in the common plate 1 to be engaged with the knock pins 2c, 2d, and the set position can be changed by turning the ball module 2 around the knock pin 2c as a fulcrum. . That is, as shown in FIG. 3, in the case of the massage of the left foot, the position of the knock pin 2d is adjusted so that the left toe and the rollers 3b and 3c face each other most efficiently.
Similarly, in the case of the right foot, the set of the ball module 2 is located at the position of the hole 1c. In FIG. 2, an example of use will be described. The foot is moved back and forth as indicated by an arrow so as to roll while pressing the ball 2a on the sole.
At this time, the toe is pushed between the upper and lower rollers 3b and 3c, and is pressed by the tension of the spring 3d. By repeating the forward and backward movements of the foot, the massage of the sole, the massage of the toes, and the extension of the toes are simultaneously achieved. At this time, if the other foot is also stepped on the bamboo step-shaped protruding plate 4 while also fixing the common plate 1, the bamboo step is also performed.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment. The motor 5 is combined with the roller module 3 as power, and the lower roller 3c is rotated so that the toe is pulled in, so that the toe is easily drawn between the rollers 3b and 3c, and when the toe is pulled out,
With the frictional force against the rotation, the finger works more like a finger pull and the finger is stretched. A timer or counter 6 can also be added to make the massage easier to enjoy.

As another embodiment, the use form is introduced. The apparatus of the present invention can be placed on a knee or a table, and the palm can be moved back and forth in the manner of a foot so that the fingers can be massaged in the same manner. If you put your calf on the roller and rub it, it will be a calf massage.

As another embodiment, the ball 2a of the ball module 2 and the rollers 3b, 3
The material and size of c can be changed as appropriate. For example, the material of the ball 2a and the rollers 3b and 3c is practically rubber, cork, wood, charcoal or the like in terms of elasticity and effectiveness. In particular, certain types of charcoal have been found to emit far-infrared rays, which produce warmth and thus enhance the massage effect. These balls 2a and rollers 3b, 3c are hand-held as optional components, and can be used as desired.

[0010]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it exhibits the following effects. The same motion can easily massage the sole of the toes, which is also called the second heart. In particular, toe massage and finger extension, which can be performed without using a hand, have a great effect not found in conventional examples. Furthermore, since it is composed of a small and lightweight block module that is easy to assemble, it can also be used for hand massage on a table or knee, and the ball module 2 part is removed with one touch and placed on the floor, and the waist is placed on this It has many advantages, such as multipurpose use, easy to carry and inexpensive, such as being applicable to waist massage while sleeping.
