Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pencil-shaped massager easy to operate capable of being switched on only by pressing a finger-pressure ball to an affected part and switched off only by separating the finger-pressure ball from the affected part. SOLUTION: This massager comprises a pencil-shaped casing having a space capable of housing a drive part comprising a dry battery and a micromotor in the inner part, and a finger-pressure part having the finger-pressure ball mounted on the tip of the drive part. The drive part integrated to the finger- pressure part is slidably fitted to the casing through a spring, so that a current can be carried from the dry battery to the micromotor by pressing the drive part into the casing.

Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a pencil-type massage device using a micromotor. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a micromotor is used to rotate an eccentric weight by the rotation of a motor to generate vibration, and the vibration is transmitted to an acupressure ball at the tip to stimulate the affected part. Type massagers are known. In this massage device, a switch for controlling the energization of the micromotor is provided with a switching casing that covers a casing containing a dry battery, and the switch is turned on by rotating the casing. Was something. Therefore, there is a problem that a troublesome operation of rotating the switching casing and turning on the power once after each treatment, and turning off the power after the treatment in reverse is necessary. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a simple pencil type in which the switch is turned on simply by pressing the acupressure ball against the affected area, and the switch is turned off simply by releasing the acupressure ball from the affected area. It is intended to provide a massage device. A pencil-type massager according to the present invention has a pencil-type casing having a space in which a driving unit including a dry cell and a micromotor can be housed, and the driving unit includes a pencil-type massaging device. A pencil-type massager comprising a shiatsu part to which a shiatsu ball is attached, wherein a drive unit integral with the shiatsu part is slidably fitted into the casing via a spring, and the drive part is pushed into the casing. The motor is energized from a dry battery. The switch is turned on simply by pressing the acupressure ball against the affected area, and is turned off simply by releasing the acupressure ball from the affected area. Embodiments of the present invention will be described specifically with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional side view of the massage device of the present invention in a normal state, and FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional side view of the massage device pressed against an affected part. Reference numeral 1 denotes a cylindrical casing in which a driving unit 3 including a dry battery 2 and a micromotor 31 can be housed. A lid 11 for covering the dry battery 2 after one end is inserted therein is provided. Is fitted. The drive unit 3 is used to integrate the micromotor 31 and the eccentric shaft 32 fixed to the rotating shaft of the motor and the acupressure unit, which will be described later, with the drive unit 3 and to apply vibration of the drive unit 3 to the casing 1. And a cylindrical cushioning member 33 formed of rubber, urethane foam, or the like for preventing transmission. Reference numeral 4 denotes an acupressure part having an acupressure ball 41 formed at the tip. A cylindrical body 42 extending from the end is fitted into the motor 31 of the drive unit 3 and the cushioning material 33 is put on the cylindrical body 42. The drive unit 3 and the acupressure unit 4 are integrated, and are slidably fitted into the end opening of the casing 1 via a spring 5. The means for energizing the voltage of the dry battery 2 to the motor 31 includes an electrode provided on the lid 11 with which the cathode of the dry battery 2 contacts and one pole of the motor 31 as a lead wire (not shown).
And the other pole of the motor 31 is connected to the projection 31a,
When the projections 31a of the motor 31 come into contact with the projections 21a provided on the electrode plate 21 with which the anode of the dry battery 2 comes into contact, electricity is supplied.
a and 31a act as contact points of the switch. Next, the specific usage of the massager of the present invention will be described. In the normal state shown in FIG. 1, the drive unit 3 is pushed out by the restoring force of the spring 5, and the projections 21a and 31a forming the contact points of the switch are in a separated state. However, the motor 31 is not rotating. When the acupressure ball 41 of the acupressure part 4 is pressed against the affected part, the drive part 3 retreats into the casing 1 against the restoring force of the spring 5, and as shown in FIG.
And the motor 31 is energized to rotate the motor 31. The rotation of the motor 31 rotates the eccentric weight 32 to vibrate the drive unit 3, and the vibration is transmitted to the acupressure ball 41 to stimulate the affected part. When the acupressure ball 41 is released from the affected area after the treatment is completed, the driving unit 3 is actuated by the restoring force of the spring 5 as shown in FIG.
Is restored, the power supply to the motor 31 is cut off, and the rotation of the motor 31 stops. According to the pencil-type massager of the present invention, the drive unit including the micromotor integrated with the acupressure unit is slidably fitted into the casing via a spring, and the drive unit is mounted inside the casing. The battery is energized from the dry cell by pushing it into the micromotor, so the switch is turned on just by pressing the acupressure ball against the affected area,
The switch is turned off just by releasing the acupressure ball from the affected area,
Unlike the conventional device, it is possible to perform comfortable acupressure treatment without the troublesome operation of turning on the switch before treatment and turning off the switch after treatment. If a hole is formed in the top of the acupressure ball 31 so that the mandrel of the ear cleaning tool can be inserted, the effect of the possession of the ear cleaning tool can be obtained.
