TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a seat belt type massage method and an apparatus thereof, and more particularly, to a seat belt type massage method and an apparatus thereof that allow different human body parts to be massaged.

[0002]

[Prior art]

A conventional belt massage device is a device that converts a rotational movement of a motor into a vibration movement so that a specific portion of a human body can be massaged by a belt. The belt massage device is widely used in health clubs, bathhouses, or homes because it is known that the effect of muscle fatigue recovery and diet by massage can be obtained. In the conventional belt massager shown in FIG. 1, a support base 2 is fixed on a support plate 11, and a motor case 13 having a built-in motor is installed at the upper end of the support base 12. The rotating shaft 16 extending from the motor case 13 is projected to the outside of the motor case 13, and is installed in the rotating unit 14 in a state of being eccentric with the rotation center of the rotating shaft 16,
A belt 15 is connected on the rotating unit 14.

However, in such a conventional belt massage device, the user scaffolds the support plate 11 with a scaffold.
While standing 17, the belt 15 is brought into close contact with the body part to operate the device. For example, when the belt 15 is brought into close contact with the waist or the abdomen and the apparatus is operated, the belt 15 is reciprocally moved in the longitudinal direction by a predetermined distance along with the vibration, so that the massage effect can be obtained. Therefore, such a conventional belt massager has a problem that it cannot be used because a person with a spinal cord disorder who is difficult to stand upright cannot stand upright. Second, there is a problem in that the utilization of the device is low because modern people who are short of time cannot use the belt massage device to perform other work at the same time.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

Therefore, the present invention has been devised in order to solve the problems of the conventional techniques as described above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a seat belt massage device that can be easily used by persons with disabilities. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a seat belt massage device that allows normal people to perform other work while sitting down. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of massaging each body part such as a waist, back, abdomen and arms using a seat belt massage device.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a drive motor installed on a back surface of a backrest of a seat having an armrest, a belt extending from a rotating portion eccentrically attached to a rotation shaft of the drive motor, and A seat belt massager that has a control unit for controlling the direction and speed of rotation on the upper surface of the armrest, and the seatbelt massager can be used to change the belt wearing position while sitting on the seat to change the belt to the waist, back, abdomen and thigh・ Achieved by providing a method of massaging the body parts such as the arms. Hereinafter, specific configurations of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, but the scope of rights of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and occurs by changing a manufacturing stage and a manufacturing configuration. It goes without saying that the invention extends to any form.
