Description

  The present invention relates to a massage machine, and more particularly to a chair-type massage machine in which air bags that are inflated and contracted by air supply / exhaust are disposed at locations corresponding to the back and arms of a user.

  Conventionally, as this kind of massage machine, what is called a massage machine or a massage machine for the purpose of obtaining a back massage or a massage effect has been widely available on the market. For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-122193, as shown in FIG. 4, a rubbing body 102 that can move up and down in the center of the back plate 101 of the chair-type base 100 is disposed, and the rubbing mechanism portion is provided. There is shown a technique in which air bags (air bags) 103 and 105 are arranged on the left and right sides of the sandwiched back plate 101 and a seat 104, and the air bags are inflated and contracted simultaneously by supplying and discharging pressure air.

  However, in this configuration, when massage treatment is performed by inflating / shrinking the back plate 101 of the chair-type base body 100, that is, the air bag 103 of the backrest portion, the pressing operation by the air bag 103 is performed when the back portion of the user is pressed. The body of the user will be pushed forward, and the distance between the backrest and the back treatment part of the body will be increased. For this reason, the pressure treatment becomes weak, and it cannot be said that the massage effect is enhanced.

  Therefore, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-260099 discloses a shape that can cover the torso of the user from the back part to the side part, and is used for treating the back part of the torso of the user. The technique of the massage machine provided with 1 treatment part and the 2nd treatment part for treating the side part of a torso's torso is disclosed, and also has a shape which can cover a user's arm part The armrest part for holding a user's arm part is further provided, and the structure which provides the said armrest part with the air bag which expands / contracts in order to treat a patient's arm part is shown.

According to this technique, the arm part of the user is held by the armrest part, and there is a temporary effect in that the body position of the user is determined. However, this armrest part holds the elbow, forearm, hand, etc. of the user when the user is seated on the massage machine, and when the user is seated on the massage machine and When leaving the massage machine, the upper part is open so that the arm can be easily placed on the armrest, and the inner cushion part is expanded and contracted to treat the arm part of the user. An air bag is built in. Therefore, the point of enhancing the massage effect on the back of the torso of the user is inadequate, and there is also a problem that complication is newly unavoidable in terms of structure.
