Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small-size, lightweight and portable sole massager operated by a leg facilitating a use by installing it, capable of applying a pushing stimulation and a massage to a sole by just installing a massage spherical ball and simultaneously therewith, stably and continuously applying the exercise effect to the lower limb. <P>SOLUTION: This sole massager is characterized in that, when the massage spherical ball 1 is installed in an attachable/detachably tubular hole 5 for the massage spherical ball 1 provided in a circular dome device 3, an almost hemispherical part is projected upward in the outward part of the tubular hole 5, a part of the massage spherical ball 1 exposed from the lower part of the tubular hole 5 is rotatably installed in the grounded state similarly to a lower grounding surface 6 of the circular dome device 3 and the circular dome device 3 is configured to move simultaneously and integrally therewith, when the massage spherical ball 1 is rotated in the tubular hole 5. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention is formed so that the circular dome-shaped device itself, which is a base member integrally with the movement of the massage sphere ball, also moves, so that the width of the movement of one massage sphere ball is widened stably and continuously. The present invention relates to a foot motion type foot massage device that can give more effective pressure stimulation and massage effect to the sole of the foot and can also enhance the exercise effect of the lower limbs.

  One method that is generally performed easily is to apply a pressure stimulus and a massage effect to the sole by rolling a hard ball such as a golf ball with the sole.

  However, the method of obtaining a pressure stimulus and a massage effect by a golf ball is a method that is easy to use and very useful as a massage effect, but has a great disadvantage. Since the golf ball alone is a sphere, it has a difficulty in rolling in many directions during use, and is difficult to use stably and continuously.

Therefore, as a foot massage device using a sphere, a plurality of hemispherical depressions are formed on a hemispherical disk, and a small spherical massage ball is attached to the depression and moved by the sole, thereby massaging the sole. Has been devised.
(See Patent Document 1)

In addition, a circular outer frame with a hole of the same size as a golf ball is manufactured so that the golf ball placed at the center can freely rotate, and eight small balls are attached to the bottom of the outer frame ring. A device has also been devised for massaging the outer frame ring in conjunction with the movement of the golf ball.
(See Patent Document 2)

  The prior art described in Patent Document 1 has an advantage that it is easy to apply to the acupuncture points on the sole and is useful for lightly massaging.

  Furthermore, the prior art described in Patent Document 2 can prevent the golf ball from rolling to the other due to the circular outer frame portion, and can be used stably as compared to the massage only with the golf ball. There is.

  However, in the conventional one described in Patent Document 1, there is a drawback that a pressing stimulus and a massage effect cannot be expected so much from the viewpoint of a loosening effect on the sole. Because, when trying to rotate by pressing the small sphere strongly with the sole in order to obtain a pressure stimulus, between the dent provided on the stationary disk and the sphere mounted in the dent, This is because a contact resistance due to pressing occurs, and the rotation resistance of the small sphere increases, so that it does not rotate easily.

In the conventional technique described in Patent Document 2, since eight small balls attached to the bottom of the circular outer frame are in point contact with the floor surface, an attempt is made to obtain a strong pressing stimulus to the sole. When you move the massage device with great force, there is a risk of scratching the floor.
In addition, when the instrument is moved quickly, it is considered that there are many cases in which the entire outer frame is displaced from a place where it can be easily used and rolled to the other side to escape.

In order to achieve the above object, the foot movement type foot massage device of the present invention adopts the following configuration.
That is, the foot motion type foot massage device according to claim 1 has a small area on the ground contact surface at the bottom, and the material is light, so that the contact resistance with respect to the floor surface is small when the massage device is used. A circular dome is used to attach and detach a massage sphere ball, and when a massage sphere ball is mounted and rotated in the cylinder hole, the circular dome is a base member in accordance with the rotation direction of the massage sphere ball. The shaper is also characterized by a structure that moves lightly, such as obliquely back and forth, left and right at the same time.

  The foot movement type foot massage device according to claim 2 has a loose dent on the inside and the bottom of the circular dome from the top of the circular dome. It is characterized in that a cylindrical tube hole is provided in which the inside of the massage ball can be freely rotated and the upper and lower sides are open.

  The foot movement type foot massage device described in claim 3 has a hemispherical portion that protrudes to the outside above the cylindrical hole when a massage ball is mounted in the cylindrical hole provided in the circular dome. A part of the massage sphere ball is exposed from the lower part of the cylindrical hole, and is formed so as to be rotatable in a state where it is landed in the same manner as the lower landing of the circular dome.

  The adjustment cord according to claim 4 is easy to use when the position is displaced by various usages such as diagonally drawing back and forth, left and right, etc. or a circle to heal fatigue of the soles. It is used to return to the place.

  The massage ball is made of a hard material having a number of depressions on its surface, and is made of any suitable hard material such as rubber or synthetic resin.

  As described above, the foot-operated foot massage device of the present invention can be easily made and disassembled and assembled by attaching and detaching only one massage ball, and can be made smaller and lighter than the conventional one.

  In addition, the circular dome-shaped device, which is the base member, can be moved freely and flexibly, such as front, back, left, and right, in accordance with the movement of the massage ball, making it easy to use stably and continuously. It was also possible to enhance the pressure stimulation, massage effect and lower limb exercise effect.

  As shown in the figure, the foot motion type foot massage device has a plurality of depressions (2) on the surface of a cylindrical ball (1) for attaching and detaching the massage ball ball (1) provided in the circular dome-shaped device (3). When the massage sphere ball (1) is mounted, a portion of the massage sphere ball (1) that protrudes slightly above the hemispherical part to the outside of the cylinder hole (5) and is exposed from the bottom of the cylinder hole (5) has a circular dome shape. It consists of the structure formed so that it could rotate freely in the state landed similarly to the lower landing (6) of the vessel (3).

  Therefore, when using this foot motion type foot massage device, while moving the lower limbs in a state where the foot is placed on the massage ball (1) protruding above the tube hole (5) and pressed moderately, It is used in the form of giving exercise effects to the ankles, calves, knees, thighs, etc. by moving the lower limbs at the same time by applying pressure stimulation and massage effect to the sole while rotating, including front and rear, left and right diagonally etc To do.

  Mass production is possible.
