BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a massage machine for sandwiching hands and feet and kneading them.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a massage machine of this type,
For example, there is a technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-11990. Such a conventional technique will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 and 22. FIG. 21 is a schematic diagram showing a main configuration diagram of a massage machine according to a conventional technique. FIG. 22
FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view of a massaging wheel of a massage machine according to a conventional technique.

As shown in FIG. 21, a massage machine according to the prior art is provided with a shaft 100 and two pairs of kneading wheels 111 and 112 pivotally supported by the shaft 100. These kneading wheels 111 and 112 are configured to swing in the axial direction as the shaft 100 rotates when a treated region (region to be treated) such as a hand or a foot is placed. As a result, the part to be treated is kneaded so as to be sandwiched between the kneading wheels 111 and 112.

Further, a plurality of treatment protrusions 113, 114 are provided on the treatment area side of the massaging wheels 111, 112 so as to project from the surface thereof and stimulate the treatment area. Therefore, when the treatment area is sandwiched by the massaging wheels 111 and 112, the treatment protrusions 113 and 114 are pressed and stimulated, so that the treatment area is kneaded more effectively.

Here, in the case of the massage machine according to the prior art, the treatment protrusion 113 provided on the massaging wheel 111 is

Also has the same configuration.

That is, the heights of protrusions of the treatment projections from the surface of the massaging ring were all the same, and the elastic moduli were all the same. Therefore, no matter which treatment protrusion is sandwiched by the treatment protrusion, the treatment is performed with the same treatment pattern (the same pressing force).

[0007]

As described above, in the case of the prior art, the treatment is performed with the same treatment pattern regardless of which treatment projection is used. Therefore, only a monotonous treatment can be performed, and it is not possible to reproduce a treatment with a wide variety like a masseur.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a massage machine capable of performing a wide variety of treatments.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a plurality of treatment projections provided on the kneading wheel, each of which has a different protrusion height from the surface of the kneading wheel. I chose

By doing so, the pressing force changes depending on the treatment projection to be sandwiched, so that a variety of treatments can be performed.

Further, in another aspect of the present invention, the treatment protrusion provided on the kneading wheel has a plurality of treatment surfaces having different projecting heights from the surface of the kneading wheel.

By doing so, when the treatment protrusion presses the treatment area, the treatment surface increases depending on the pushing amount, and the stimulus received by the treatment area changes. It will be possible.

Further, according to another aspect of the present invention, the plurality of treatment protrusions provided on the kneading ring include those having different elastic moduli.

By doing so, the pressing force changes depending on the treatment projection to be sandwiched, so that a variety of treatments can be performed.

In the two pairs of kneading wheels 22 and 23, the kneading wheels 22 and 23 on the inner side (both sides of the center wheel 20) are
Each of the rubbing wheels 22, 23 has inner disks 25, 26 as a supporting plate for supporting the rubbing wheel from the back side.
The disks 25 and 26 are integrally attached by screws 28 and 29, respectively, and are displaceable in the axial direction.

The inner kneading wheels 22 and 23 are fixed to the rotary shaft 11 by a key 81 fitted in the key groove 11a of the rotary shaft 11, and rotate integrally with the rotary shaft 11. The inner kneading wheels 22 and 23 are restricted from moving outward in the axial direction by the spring pin 82 inserted into the pin insertion hole 11b of the rotary shaft 11.

A spring 3 is provided at a portion of the rotary shaft 11 between the center wheel 20 and the inner massaging wheels 22 and 23.
2, 33 are inserted. The inner ends of the springs 32 and 33 are engaged with the center wheel 20, and the outer ends thereof are engaged with the kneading wheels 22 and 23 through the disks 25 and 26.

As a result, the springs 32 and 33 always urge the inner massaging wheels 22 and 23 outward in the axial direction, respectively. However, in FIG. 7, the spring 33 is in a compressed state. When the springs 32 and 33 expand and contract, the inner massaging wheels 22 and 23 are displaced in the axial direction,
The distance between the kneading wheels 22 and 23 of each pair can be adjusted.

The inner massaging wheels 22, 2 on the rotary shaft 11
Roller bodies 35 and 36 are provided on the outer side portions of 3, respectively. The roller bodies 35 and 36 are large and small rollers 35a, 35b, 36a, which are convex portions for pressure stimulation, respectively.

6a and 36b are located between the kneading wheels 22 and 23 of each pair.

The outer massaging wheels 22 and 23 located outside the roller bodies 35 and 36 are fixed to the rotary shaft 11 by a key 83 fitted in the key groove 11c of the rotary shaft 11, and rotate integrally with the rotary shaft 11. To do. Similarly to the inner rubbing wheels, the outer discs 2 and 23 serving as support plates for supporting the outer rubbing wheels 22 and 23 from the back side are provided.
5, 26 are provided.

Further, the end plate 4 is provided on a portion of the rotary shaft 11 outside the outer disks 25 and 26.
1, 42 are provided. This end plate 41,
42 is also fixed to the rotary shaft 11 by the key 83.

Are positioned by a C ring 84 provided on the outer side of the end plates 41, 42.

Between the outer disks 25, 26 and the corresponding end plates 41, 42, a plurality of large and small sub-rollers 44 capable of rotating as a rotating roller for pressing stimulation are provided.
a, 44b, 45a, 45b and a plurality of non-rotating protrusions 4
6, 47 are arranged in a circumferential combination.

Here, the sub rollers 44a, 44b, 4
5a, 45b and the projections 46, 47 are set to have the same width in the axial direction. The protrusions 46 and 47 not only act as spacers that keep the distance between the disks 25 and 26 and the end plates 41 and 42 constant, but also protrude from the gap between the disks 25 and 26 and the end plates 41 and 42, Large and small sub-rollers 44a, 44b,
Similar to 45a and 45b, it also acts as a pressure stimulus.

Further, each disk 25, 26 has a protrusion 25a, 26a for preventing the corresponding kneading wheels 22, 23 from riding on the outer circumference of the disk 25, 26. In particular, at the place where the distance between the pair of kneading wheels 22 and 23 is narrow, the kneading wheels 22 and 23 are likely to be affected by the reaction from the treatment site during the rotating operation, so that there are a plurality of discs on the corresponding disks 25 and 26. Individual protrusions 25a and 26a are provided.

On the other hand, in this massage mechanism 10,
In order to prevent the sounds generated when the respective parts slide during the rotating operation, the parts that may slide with each other are made of different materials (for example, synthetic resin). Here, for example, as the main components, the center wheel 20, the inner disks 25 and 26 on both sides thereof, and the inner massaging wheels 22 and 23 are provided.
Regarding the parts, and the three parts of the outer massaging wheels 22 and 23, the outer disks 25 and 26, and the end plates 41 and 42, adjacent parts are made of different resins. For example, POM (polyacetal resin) is combined with ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) and nylon resin so that adjacent parts are not made of the same resin.

In the massage machine constructed as described above, one rotating shaft 11 is provided with two pairs of kneading wheels 22 and 23, and rotations for pressing stimulation are provided on the outside of each pair of kneading wheels 22 and 23. Rollers (small and large sub rollers 44a, 44b,
45a, 45b and projections 46, 47) are provided, so that the rubbing stimulation or the roller stimulation can be applied to both feet simultaneously.

When performing massage with this massage machine, the area to be treated such as both feet (calves and thighs) is placed from the placing section 5 on the massage mechanism 10 covered by the cover 2. When receiving a massage stimulus by the massage wheels 22 and 23 of each pair, the treated region is placed on both sides of the central portion of the cover 2.
Rotating rollers (small and large sub rollers 44a, 44b, 45
When receiving the roller stimulus by the a, 45b and the projections 46, 47), the treatment site is placed on both ends of the cover 2.

In the kneading stimulus, each pair of kneading wheels 22 and 23 swings in the axial direction due to the rotation of the rotary shaft 11, so that the interval between the pair of kneading wheels becomes narrower or wider. As a result, the region to be treated is alternately and repeatedly sandwiched between the pair of massaging wheels 22 and 23 and released. Therefore, the part to be treated is massaged. Here, the kneading wheels 22 and 23 are rotatably supported by the rotating shaft 11 and do not rotate in a state of sandwiching the treated region. On the other hand, it is configured to rotate together with the rotary shaft 11 in a state in which the treated region is not sandwiched.

Further, since the roller bodies 35 and 36 are provided with large and small rollers 35a, 35b, 36a and 36b for stimulating the pressure, not only the massage stimuli by the massage wheels 22 and 23 but also these large and small rollers. A pressure stimulus due to is also applied, monotonous massage is avoided, and various massage stimuli are applied to the treatment site.

On the other hand, in the roller stimulus, strong and weak pressure stimuli are applied to the treatment area by the large and small sub-rollers 44a, 44b, 45a, 45b as the rotating rollers and the projections 46, 47. Here, since the rotary roller is composed of three types of parts, the pressing force also changes accordingly, and a complicated roller stimulus is applied to the treatment area.

Here, when putting a foot between the kneading wheels 22 and 23 of each pair, the thickness of the left and right feet may be slightly different not only by the other person but also by the person concerned. Even in such a case, the inner massaging wheels 22 and 23 can be displaced in the axial direction only by being urged outward by the springs 32 and 33.
The thickness of the region to be treated (foot or the like) is easily followed, and the interval between the kneading wheels 22 and 23 of each pair is adjusted according to the thickness of the foot.

In addition, since the inner massaging wheels 22 and 23 can be displaced independently of each other, when the massaging wheels can be displaced integrally, one massaging wheel can be narrowed and the other can be widened. There is no problem of becoming, and the pressing force on the other leg is not affected regardless of the thickness of one leg.

While the massaging wheels 22 and 23 are operating, the massaging wheels 22 and 23 try to ride on the outer circumferences of the corresponding disks 25 and 26 by the reaction force from the region to be treated. Protrusion 25 to prevent riding
Since the a and 26a are provided, the kneading wheels 22 and 23 do not ride on the outer circumferences of the disks 25 and 26.

Next, referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, the treatment projection 5 provided so as to project from the surfaces of the kneading wheels 22 and 23.
0 and 60 will be described. However, since the kneading wheel 22 and the kneading wheel 23 and the treatment protrusions 50 and 60 provided on the kneading wheel 22 have the same configuration, the kneading wheel 22 is here described.
Only the treatment protrusions 50 provided therein will be described.

FIG. 14 is a perspective view of a kneading ring provided in the massage machine according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In addition, FIG. 15 is a schematic plan view of a kneading ring provided in the massage machine according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the kneading wheel 22 is provided with a plurality (10 in the illustrated example) of treatment protrusions 50 projecting from the surface thereof toward the treatment region. These treatment projections 50 are for pressing the treatment area and giving stimulation by the swinging motion of the massaging wheel 22.

Here, it is preferable that the massaging wheel 22 and the treatment protrusion 50 are integrally formed in consideration of strength, durability, and cost reduction due to reduction in man-hours. The massaging wheel 22 requires a relatively high rigidity, while the treatment protrusion 5
Since 0 is required to have relatively low rigidity (those having elasticity), different materials are used.

In the present embodiment, six types of treatment protrusions having different protrusion heights from the surface of the kneading wheel 22, that is, the first treatment protrusion
Treatment protrusion 50a, second treatment protrusion 50b, third treatment protrusion 5
0c, fourth treatment protrusion 50d, fifth treatment protrusion 50e, sixth
A treatment protrusion 50f is provided.

Then, as shown in the figure, the first treatment protrusion 50
The second treatment protrusions 50b are arranged on both sides of a, the third treatment protrusions 50c are arranged next to them, the fourth treatment protrusions 50d are arranged next to them, and the fifth treatment protrusions 5 are arranged next to them.
0e is arranged, and the sixth treatment protrusion 50f is arranged between them.

The protrusion heights of the first treatment protrusion 50a are highest, and the protrusion heights of the second treatment protrusion 50b and the third treatment protrusion 50b are the following.
Treatment protrusion 50c, fourth treatment protrusion 50d, fifth treatment protrusion 5
It is configured such that it becomes lower in the order of 0e and the sixth treatment protrusion 50f becomes the lowest.

As described above, in the present embodiment, since the heights of the treatment protrusions are different, the pressing force changes depending on the treatment protrusions on which the region to be treated is sandwiched, and thus treatment with a wide variety is performed.

In addition, as described above, when the massaging wheel 22 (treatment protrusion) does not sandwich the treatment area, the massaging wheel 22 rotates together with the rotating shaft 11, so that the massaging wheel 22 sandwiches the treatment area. In addition, different treatment protrusions press the treated portion. Therefore, the intensity of the stimulus to the treatment site changes each time the kneading operation is performed, and thus treatment with various variations is performed.

In addition, when the treatment area is inserted into the kneading position, the treatment area is inserted while the massage wheel 22 is rotating and the treatment protrusion having a relatively low protruding height is at the insertion position. Then, there is also an advantage that the treatment site can be easily inserted.

Note that FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 explained so far
In the case of the kneading wheel 22 shown in FIG. 5, the treatment protrusions are arranged such that the protrusion height is gradually decreased from the one with the highest protrusion height (first treatment protrusion 50a), and the protrusion is most prominent at the opposite side of 180 degrees. The height is lowered (sixth treatment protrusion 50f), and the circumference is so increased that the protrusion height is gradually increased again.

However, the arrangement of the treatment protrusions is not limited to such a configuration, and the arrangement can be freely performed.

For example, as shown in the schematic plan view of the kneading ring shown in FIG. 16, two types of first treatment protrusions 50g having a high protruding height and second treatment protrusions 50h having a lower protruding height are grouped. As a whole, all (5 in the illustrated example) first treatment projections 50g are arranged on one half side of the circumference, and all (5 in the illustrated example) second treatment projections 50h are arranged on the other half side. It is also possible.

Further, as shown in the schematic plan view of the kneading wheel shown in FIG. 17, two types of the first treatment protrusion 50i having a high protruding height and the second treatment protrusion 50j having a lower protruding height are alternately arranged. It is also possible to arrange them.

In addition, it is possible to appropriately arrange the treatment protrusions having two or more kinds of heights.

(Second Embodiment) FIGS. 18 and 19 show a second embodiment of the present invention.

The present embodiment is characterized by the structure of the treatment protrusion. Since other configurations and operations are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same components are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

18 and 19 are schematic external views of the treatment protrusions provided on the massage machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 18 shows a state when no treatment is performed, and FIG. 19 shows a state when treatment is performed.

In the present embodiment, the treatment protrusion 51
Includes a first treatment surface 51a, and a second treatment surface 51b and a third treatment surface 51c provided on both sides of the first treatment surface 51a.

The projection height H1 of the first treatment surface 51a from the surface of the massaging wheel 22 and the projection height H2 of the second treatment surface 51b from the surface of the massaging wheel 22 are different, and H1> H2. Have a relationship. The third treatment surface 51c
The protrusion height from the surface of the massaging wheel 22 is the second treatment surface 51b.
Is the same as.

The first treatment surface 51a and the second treatment surface 5
Reference numeral 1b denotes a connecting portion 51d that flexibly supports them.
Are linked by. Similarly, the first treatment surface 51a and the third treatment surface 51c are connected by a connecting portion 51e that supports them so as to be flexibly deformable.

With the above-described structure, when the treatment protrusion 51 presses the treatment area, the first treatment surface 51a having a high protrusion height first presses the treatment area. And
As the pressing force increases, the first treatment surface 51a flexes, and the protrusion height H3 becomes the same as the protrusion height H3 of the second treatment surface 51b and the third treatment surface 51c.

As a result, the second treatment surface 51b and the third treatment surface 51c also press the portion to be treated. After that, the first treatment surface 51a, the second treatment surface 51b, and the third treatment surface 51c all press the treated portion together.

Therefore, the treatment protrusion 5 according to the present embodiment.
In the case of 1, first, the treatment area is pressed by the first treatment surface 51a, and then the pressing force increases due to the rocking of the massaging wheel 22, and when the pressing force exceeds a certain value, The second treatment surface 51b and the third treatment surface 51c also press the treated portion. That is, the state of pressing the treatment site changes midway. More specifically, the pressing area pressing the treatment area suddenly increases on the way.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the treatment protrusion is provided with a plurality of surfaces having different projecting heights, and the number of treatment surfaces to be pressed is changed according to the pressing force applied to the treatment area. .

Accordingly, since the pressing state (pressing area) changes during the pressing operation by the treatment protrusion, it is possible to perform treatment with a great variety.

In this embodiment, the case where two types of surfaces having different projecting heights are provided has been described as an example, but of course,
It goes without saying that it is possible to provide three or more types of surfaces having different projecting heights.

It is also preferable to combine the configuration of this embodiment with the configuration of the first embodiment described above. That is, as in the configuration of the first embodiment, a plurality of types of massaging wheels having different heights of the treatment protrusions are provided, and the configuration of each treatment protrusion is the same as that of the configuration of the present embodiment. By providing a plurality of different surfaces, it is possible to perform treatment with a greater variety.

(Third Embodiment) FIG. 20 shows a third embodiment. In the above-described first embodiment, the case where the treatment has a variation by making the protrusion height of the treatment protrusion different has been described. In the present embodiment, the case where the treatment has a variation by changing the elastic modulus of the treatment protrusion is shown.

Since other configurations and operations are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same components will be described as follows.
The description is omitted.

FIG. 20 is a schematic plan view of a kneading ring provided in the massage machine according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 20, the massaging wheel 52 in the present embodiment is also provided with a plurality of treatment projections as in the first embodiment. Then, in the present embodiment, six types of treatment protrusions having different elastic moduli, that is, the first treatment protrusion 52a, the second treatment protrusion 52b, the third treatment protrusion 52c, the fourth treatment protrusion 52d, the fifth treatment protrusion 52e, The sixth treatment protrusion 52f is provided.

In order to make the elastic moduli different, it is possible to use different materials for the treatment protrusions, change the wall thickness of the treatment protrusions, or provide ribs inside the treatment protrusions. is there.

Then, as shown in the figure, the first treatment protrusion 52
The second treatment protrusions 52b are arranged on both sides of a, the third treatment protrusions 52c are arranged next to them, the fourth treatment protrusions 52d are arranged next to them, and the fifth treatment protrusions 5 are arranged next to each.
2e are arranged, and the sixth treatment protrusion 52f is arranged between them.

The elastic modulus of these is highest in the first treatment protrusion 52a, and hereinafter, the second treatment protrusion 52b, the third treatment protrusion 52c, the fourth treatment protrusion 52d, and the fifth treatment protrusion 52.
It is configured such that it becomes lower in the order of e, and the sixth treatment protrusion 52f becomes the lowest.

As described above, in the present embodiment, since the elastic moduli of the treatment protrusions are different, the pressing force changes depending on the treatment protrusions that sandwich the treatment target portion, and thus treatment with a wide variety is performed.

In addition, as described above, when the massaging wheel 52 (treatment protrusion) does not sandwich the treatment area, the massaging wheel 52 rotates together with the rotating shaft 11, so that the massaging wheel 52 sandwiches the treatment area. In addition, different treatment protrusions press the treated portion. Therefore, the intensity of the stimulus to the treatment site changes each time the kneading operation is performed, and thus treatment with various variations is performed.

Needless to say, the treatment projections can be arranged freely, as in the case of the first embodiment. Further, the configurations of the first embodiment described above may be combined, the configurations of the second embodiment may be combined, or the configurations of the first embodiment and the configurations of the second embodiment may be combined. It is suitable. That is, as in the configuration of the first embodiment, a plurality of types of massaging wheels having different heights of the treatment projections are provided, and a plurality of types having different elastic moduli are included therein. Therefore, treatment with a wider variety of treatments is possible. Further, a plurality of types of treatment protrusions having different elastic moduli are provided on the kneading wheel, and the configuration of each treatment protrusion is further varied by providing a plurality of surfaces having different projecting heights like the configuration of the second embodiment. Rich treatment is possible. Furthermore, there are a plurality of treatment protrusions provided on the kneading ring, which have different protrusion heights and elastic moduli, and each treatment protrusion is provided with a plurality of surfaces having different protrusion heights. Therefore, it is possible to perform treatment with a greater variety.
