以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施形態に基いて説明する。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

図１乃至図８に本発明の実施の形態の例を示す。本例のマッサージ機１は、図１のように座部６の後側に背凭れ部７を設けた椅子式マッサージ機であり、背凭れ部７内に敷設されたレール材１１に沿って背凭れ部７に昇降自在に備えたマッサージ基台２と、前方に突出する施療子５を備えると共にこの施療子５を駆動させる施療子駆動ユニット３とを有し、施療子駆動ユニット３がマッサージ基台２に対して前方付勢手段４を介して取り付けられている。   1 to 8 show examples of embodiments of the present invention. The massage machine 1 of this example is a chair type massage machine provided with a backrest part 7 on the rear side of the seat part 6 as shown in FIG. 1, and the back of the massage machine 1 along the rail material 11 laid in the backrest part 7. It has a massage base 2 that can be moved up and down at the squeezed portion 7, and a treatment element drive unit 3 that has a treatment element 5 protruding forward and drives the treatment element 5, and the treatment element drive unit 3 is a massage base It is attached to the base 2 via the front biasing means 4.

図２のように、マッサージ基台２は、左右一対の縦枠材１２ａと上下一対の横枠材１２ｂとを矩形に組付けて成る基台本体１２を有し、基台本体１２の上下左右の各隅部にはレール材１１を走行するローラ１３が配置されると共に、基台本体１２の左右中央部には一対の横枠材１２ｂに架け渡した縦架材１４が設けられ、縦架材１４の前面には一対のエアバック１０とその間にエアポンプ１５が取り付けられている。各エアバック１０はエアポンプ１５のエア供給により前方への膨張が可能にされ、その膨張の度合いはエア供給時間等で制御できる。なお、エアバック１０の収縮はエアポンプ１５によるエアの強制排出でも、開放による自然排出でもよい。なお、図中１６はローラ１３をレール材１１に自走させてマッサージ基台２を昇降させる基台昇降モータであり、基台本体１２に支持されている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the massage base 2 has a base body 12 in which a pair of left and right vertical frame members 12 a and a pair of upper and lower horizontal frame members 12 b are assembled in a rectangular shape. A roller 13 that travels on the rail material 11 is disposed at each corner of the base body 12, and a vertical frame member 14 that spans a pair of horizontal frame members 12 b is provided at the left and right central portions of the base body 12. A pair of airbags 10 and an air pump 15 are attached between the front surfaces of the material 14. Each airbag 10 can be expanded forward by the air supply of the air pump 15, and the degree of expansion can be controlled by the air supply time or the like. The air bag 10 may be contracted by forced air discharge by the air pump 15 or natural discharge by opening. Reference numeral 16 in the figure denotes a base lifting motor for moving the roller base 13 on the rail member 11 to raise and lower the massage base 2, and is supported by the base body 12.

また、施療子駆動ユニット３は、もみ駆動モータ１７とたたき駆動モータ１８とを支持した左右に並ぶ一対の縦板１９ａを有したフレーム１９を有し、該フレーム１９の左右には上下一対の施療子５（上位置の施療子５ａ、下位置の施療子５ｂ）を先端に備えたＶ字状の支持アーム２０がそれぞれ取り付けられている。詳しくは、フレーム１９の一対の縦板１９ａには、もみ駆動モータ１７に連結したもみ駆動軸２１と、たたき駆動モータ１８に連結したたたき駆動軸２２とが架設され、各駆動軸２１，２２の両端が各支持アーム２０に連結されて、支持アーム２０に備えた施療子５にたたき動作やもみ動作を行わせて被施療者にたたきマッサージやもみマッサージを施し得るようにしている。なお本例では、もみ駆動軸２１と各支持アーム２０との間には伝達運動切替機構が介在され、左右の対向する施療子５が近接・離間する運動（図３（ａ））や、左右の施療子５が同期して左右に揺動する運動（図３（ｂ））を切り替え可能にして、２種のもみマッサージを被施療者に施し得るようにしている。また、支持アーム２０の先端部２０ａは伝達運動切替機構を内装した基端部２０ｂに対して回動自在に軸支され、支持アーム２０の回動姿勢を変化させて上下の施療子５を被施療者の体のラインに沿わせて当てることが可能にされている。また、施療子駆動ユニット３のフレーム１９にはその上下位置でそれぞれエアバック取付材２３が取り付けられる。エアバック取付材２３は一対の縦板部２３ａの前端を横板部２３ｂで連結したコ字板形状を成し、一対の縦板部２３ａの各後端部をフレーム１９の一対の縦板１９ａの前縁フランジ１９ａ１に固定している。 The treatment element drive unit 3 has a frame 19 having a pair of vertical plates 19a arranged on the left and right sides supporting the paddle drive motor 17 and the tapping drive motor 18, and a pair of upper and lower treatments on the left and right sides of the frame 19. A V-shaped support arm 20 having a child 5 (upper treatment element 5a and lower treatment element 5b) at the tip is attached. Specifically, a pair of vertical plates 19 a of the frame 19 is provided with a paddle drive shaft 21 connected to the paddle drive motor 17 and a paddle drive shaft 22 connected to the paddle drive motor 18. Both ends are connected to each support arm 20 so that the treatment element 5 provided in the support arm 20 performs a striking operation and a scrubbing operation so that the user can perform a striking massage and a scissor massage. In this example, a transmission motion switching mechanism is interposed between the kneading drive shaft 21 and each support arm 20 so that the left and right treatment elements 5 approach or separate from each other (FIG. 3A), The treatment element 5 can be switched to a movement (FIG. 3B) that swings to the left and right in synchronism, so that two kinds of massage can be applied to the user. Further, the distal end portion 20a of the support arm 20 is pivotally supported with respect to a base end portion 20b having a transmission motion switching mechanism built therein, and the upper and lower treatment elements 5 are covered by changing the rotation posture of the support arm 20. It can be applied along the body line of the user. Moreover, the airbag attachment material 23 is each attached to the flame | frame 19 of the treatment element drive unit 3 in the up-down position. The airbag attachment member 23 has a U-shaped plate shape in which the front ends of the pair of vertical plate portions 23 a are connected by the horizontal plate portion 23 b, and the rear end portions of the pair of vertical plate portions 23 a are connected to the pair of vertical plates 19 a of the frame 19. It is fixed to the front edge flange 19a 1 of.

施療子駆動ユニット３をマッサージ基台２に取り付けた状態では、図４及び図５のように、各エアバック取付材２３の横板部２３ｂの後面に、後面をマッサージ基台２の縦架材１４の前面に固定させた上記各エアバック１０の前面が固定されている。つまり、エアバック１０はマッサージ基台２と施療子駆動ユニット３との間に介装され、膨張に応じて施療子駆動ユニット３を前方に付勢可能にしている。また、施療子駆動ユニット３の縦板１９ａの前縁フランジ１９ａ１はマッサージ基台２の横枠材１２ｂよりも後方に位置されるのであるが、縦板１９ａの前縁フランジ１９ａ１と横枠材１２ｂとの間には、バランスを考慮して各縦板１９ａの上下位置の計４箇所で、コイル状のバネ材９が架設されている。このバネ材９は、前縁フランジ１９ａ１や横枠材１２ｂに固定した各当接座２４に両端が固定されており、被施療者が施療子５に凭れかかると、後方の施療子駆動ユニット３を前方のマッサージ基台２側に引き寄せるように、つまり施療子駆動ユニット３に前方付勢力を付与するようにした、いわゆる引張りバネが採用されている。上記バネ材９とエアバック１０とは叙述の前方付勢手段４を構成するものであり、特にエアバック１０はその膨張具合に応じて施療子駆動ユニット３に負荷する前方付勢力を強めることのできる前方付勢力調整手段８となる。 In the state where the treatment element drive unit 3 is attached to the massage base 2, as shown in FIGS. The front surface of each airbag 10 fixed to the front surface of 14 is fixed. That is, the airbag 10 is interposed between the massage base 2 and the treatment element drive unit 3, and enables the treatment element drive unit 3 to be biased forward according to the expansion. Although the front edge flange 19a 1 of the vertical plate 19a of the treatment element drive unit 3 is being positioned behind the transverse frame member 12b of the massage base 2, the front edge of the vertical plate 19a flange 19a 1 and the horizontal frame In consideration of the balance, coil-like spring members 9 are installed between the members 12b at a total of four positions in the vertical position of each vertical plate 19a. The spring member 9, the front has both ends fixed to the respective abutment seat 24 which is fixed to the edge flanges 19a 1 and the horizontal frame members 12b, the treated person leans in treating element 5, the rear of the treatment element drive unit A so-called tension spring is employed in which 3 is pulled toward the front massage base 2, that is, a forward biasing force is applied to the treatment element drive unit 3. The spring material 9 and the airbag 10 constitute the forward biasing means 4 described above, and in particular, the airbag 10 strengthens the forward biasing force applied to the treatment element drive unit 3 according to the degree of expansion. It becomes the forward urging force adjusting means 8 that can be produced.

このように施療子駆動ユニット３はマッサージ基台２に対して前方付勢手段４を介して取り付けられている。したがって、図６の概念図にあるように、施療子５に凭れた被施療者がその施療姿勢を多少崩しても、叙述のような前方付勢手段４で施療子駆動ユニット３全体を付勢するといった簡単で且つ安価な構造によって、安定した施療子５の被施療者への当り感を確保して、マッサージ施療を施す指圧師が常時付与する指圧荷重のような適度な基本押圧荷重がかかった状態での快適なマッサージ施療を確保できるといった利点を備えるのである。なお、図６のように前方付勢手段４はバネ材９（またはエアバック１０）単独で構成しても上記利点を備えることができる。   Thus, the treatment element drive unit 3 is attached to the massage base 2 via the front biasing means 4. Therefore, as shown in the conceptual diagram of FIG. 6, even if the user who is drowned in the treatment element 5 slightly loses the treatment posture, the entire treatment element drive unit 3 is urged by the forward urging means 4 as described above. A simple and inexpensive structure ensures a sense of contact of the treatment element 5 with the user, and a moderate basic pressure load such as a shiatsu load constantly applied by a chiropractor applying massage treatment is applied. It has the advantage that a comfortable massage treatment can be secured. As shown in FIG. 6, the front biasing means 4 can be provided with the above advantages even if it is constituted by the spring material 9 (or the airbag 10) alone.

また、もみマッサージ動作は上位置の施療子５ａに前方に突き出しつつ下方へ巻き込むような動作を行わせるのであるが、上記施療子５ａの前方突き出し時に被施療者から施療子５ａが受ける反力によって前方付勢手段４を介して施療子駆動ユニット３を後方に移動させて、施療子５ａの前方突き出し量を施療子駆動ユニット３の前後変位量で吸収できるようにしてあり、つまり、本例の前方付勢手段４による施療子駆動ユニット３の前後変位可能量は、もみマッサージ動作の施療子５ａの前方突き出し量（約２０ｍｍ程）よりも大きく設定されている（本例では２５ｍｍ以上）。したがって、本例のマッサージ機１にあっては、もみマッサージ施療中においても、施療子駆動ユニット３全体の前後位置を適宜ずらし、継続して適度な基本押圧荷重がかかった状態の快適な施療感を確保できるようにしているのである。   In addition, the massage massage operation causes the upper treatment element 5a to protrude forward while being wound forward, but the reaction force received by the treatment element 5a from the user when the treatment element 5a protrudes forward is applied. The treatment element drive unit 3 is moved backward via the front urging means 4 so that the forward protrusion amount of the treatment element 5a can be absorbed by the longitudinal displacement amount of the treatment element drive unit 3, that is, in this example. The amount by which the treatment element drive unit 3 can be displaced in the front-rear direction by the front biasing means 4 is set to be larger than the front protrusion amount (about 20 mm) of the treatment element 5a for the massage operation (in this example, 25 mm or more). Therefore, in the massage machine 1 of this example, even during the massage treatment, the front and rear positions of the entire treatment element drive unit 3 are appropriately shifted, and a comfortable treatment feeling in a state in which an appropriate basic pressing load is continuously applied. Is ensured.

ここで、本例の前方付勢手段４はバネとエアバック１０とを併設して構成されているので、図７の概念図にあるように、バネ材９にて所定の施療子駆動ユニット３に対する前方付勢力を確保した上で、前方付勢力調整手段８としてのエアバック１０にて前方付勢力を可変的に加算できるのであって、つまり前方付勢手段４全体のバネ定数を可変的に増加できるのであり、したがって、簡単な構成で所定荷重以上の適宜調節した基本押圧荷重を被施療者に付与できるのであり、より快適なマッサージ施療の確保を図り得る利点を有している。前方付勢手段４全体のバネ定数としては、プロの指圧師の指圧荷重とされる約５〜１０ｋｇｆの基本押圧荷重を実現するため、５〜２０ｋｇｆ／ｍｍに設定するのが好ましい。また、図７のように前方付勢力調整手段８としてのエアバック１０はバランスを考慮して施療子駆動ユニット３の上下中央部に１つ設けるようにしても上記利点を備えることができる。   Here, since the front biasing means 4 of this example is configured with a spring and an air bag 10, as shown in the conceptual diagram of FIG. The front urging force can be variably added by the airbag 10 as the front urging force adjusting means 8 after ensuring the front urging force against the front urging force, that is, the spring constant of the entire front urging means 4 can be variably changed. Therefore, the basic pressing load appropriately adjusted to a predetermined load or more can be given to the user with a simple configuration, and there is an advantage that a more comfortable massage treatment can be ensured. The spring constant of the entire front urging means 4 is preferably set to 5 to 20 kgf / mm in order to realize a basic pressing load of about 5 to 10 kgf, which is the acupressure load of a professional chiropractor. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the above-described advantages can be provided even if one airbag 10 as the front biasing force adjusting means 8 is provided at the upper and lower central portions of the treatment element drive unit 3 in consideration of balance.

また、本例のマッサージ機１にあっては、図８の概念図にあるように、施療子駆動ユニット３がその上下位置でそれぞれ上記マッサージ基台２に対してエアバック１０（上位置のエアバック１０ａ，下位置のエアバック１０ｂ）を介して前後に移動可能に取り付けられており、つまり各エアバック１０の膨張具合で対応する施療子駆動ユニット３の部位を前方にずらして位置できるようにされている。つまり、たとえば図８（ａ）のように上位置のエアバック１０ａと下位置のエアバック１０ｂを同様に膨張させて施療子駆動ユニット３を略鉛直な基準状態にして上位置及び下位置の施療子５ａ，５ｂを共に被施療者に当てるようにしたり、たとえば図８（ｂ）のように上位置のエアバック１０ａのみを膨張させて施療子駆動ユニット３を前傾姿勢（基準状態に比べて施療子駆動ユニット３の上部を前方に位置させる）にして上位置の施療子５ａのみを被施療者にしっかり当てるようにしたり、たとえば図８（ｃ）のように下位置のエアバック１０ｂのみを膨張させて施療子駆動ユニット３を後傾姿勢（基準状態に比べて施療子駆動ユニット３の下部を前方に位置させる）にして下位置の施療子５ｂのみを被施療者にしっかり当てるようにしたりできるのであり、上位置及び下位置の各施療子５ａ，５ｂによる被施療者への同時施療は勿論のこと、上位置の施療子５ａまたは下位置の施療子５ｂによるポイント施療をも可能にし、緻密なマッサージ施療を図ることが可能にされている。なお、上位置のエアバック１０ａ、下位置のエアバック１０ｂを交互に膨縮させる制御をすることも好ましい。これによると、リズミカルな上下交互のポイント施療を行うことができて、マッサージ施療の快適さを向上できるのである。   Moreover, in the massage machine 1 of this example, as shown in the conceptual diagram of FIG. 8, the treatment element drive unit 3 is in the upper and lower positions with respect to the massage base 2, respectively. The airbag 10b is attached so as to be movable back and forth via the airbag 10b and the lower airbag 10b). That is, the corresponding portion of the treatment element drive unit 3 can be shifted and positioned forward depending on the degree of expansion of each airbag 10. Has been. That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), the upper airbag 10a and the lower airbag 10b are similarly inflated so that the treatment element drive unit 3 is brought into a substantially vertical reference state, and the upper and lower positions are treated. Both the children 5a and 5b are applied to the user or, for example, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), only the airbag 10a at the upper position is inflated so that the treatment device drive unit 3 is tilted forward (compared to the reference state). The upper portion of the treatment element drive unit 3 is positioned forward) and only the upper position treatment element 5a is firmly applied to the user. For example, as shown in FIG. 8C, only the lower airbag 10b is disposed. The treatment element drive unit 3 is inflated and tilted backward (the lower part of the treatment element drive unit 3 is positioned forward compared to the reference state) so that only the lower treatment element 5b is firmly applied to the user. It is possible to perform point treatment with the upper treatment element 5a or the lower treatment element 5b as well as simultaneous treatment of the user with the treatment elements 5a and 5b at the upper position and the lower position. It is possible to aim for precise massage treatment. In addition, it is also preferable to control to alternately expand and contract the upper airbag 10a and the lower airbag 10b. According to this, rhythmical top and bottom alternate point treatment can be performed, and the comfort of massage treatment can be improved.

図９及び図１０に本発明の実施の形態の他例を示す。先例と同様部位は同符号を付して説明を省き、先例と異なる部位につき説明する。本例のマッサージ機１には先例のエアバック１０が無く、つまり前方付勢手段４をバネ材９でのみ構成させて構成の簡略化を図っている。   9 and 10 show another example of the embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in the previous example are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted, and parts different from the previous example will be described. The massage machine 1 of this example does not have the precedent airbag 10, that is, the front biasing means 4 is configured only by the spring material 9 to simplify the configuration.

本例の施療子駆動ユニット３をマッサージ基台２に取り付けた状態では、施療子駆動ユニット３の縦板１９ａの前縁フランジ１９ａ１をマッサージ基台２の横枠材１２ｂよりも前方に位置させ、縦板１９ａの前縁フランジ１９ａ１と横枠材１２ｂとの間には、バランスを考慮して各縦板１９ａの上下位置の計４箇所で、コイル状のバネ材９が架設されている。このバネ材９は、前縁フランジ１９ａ１や横枠材１２ｂに固定した各当接座２４に両端が弾接されており、被施療者が施療子５に凭れかかると、前方の施療子駆動ユニット３を後方のマッサージ基台２に対して反発させるように、つまり施療子駆動ユニット３に前方付勢力を付与するようにした、いわゆる圧縮バネが採用されている。 In a state where the treatment element drive unit 3 of this example is attached to the massage base 2, the front edge flange 19 a 1 of the vertical plate 19 a of the treatment element drive unit 3 is positioned in front of the horizontal frame member 12 b of the massage base 2. between the leading edge flange 19a 1 and the lateral frame member 12b of the vertical plate 19a, a total of four locations in consideration of the balance vertical position of the vertical plates 19a, coiled spring member 9 is bridged . The spring member 9, both ends each abutting seat 24 fixed before the edge flange 19a 1 and the horizontal frame members 12b are elastically contacted, the treated person leans in treating element 5, ahead of the treatment element driven A so-called compression spring is employed in which the unit 3 is repelled against the back massage base 2, that is, a front biasing force is applied to the treatment element drive unit 3.

本例においても先例と同様に、施療子５に凭れた被施療者がその施療姿勢を多少崩しても、前方付勢手段４で施療子駆動ユニット３全体を付勢するといった簡単で且つ安価な構造によって、安定した施療子５の被施療者への当り感を確保して、マッサージ施療を施す指圧師が常時付与する指圧荷重のような適度な基本押圧荷重がかかった状態での快適なマッサージ施療を確保できるといった利点を備えることができるのである。   Also in this example, as in the previous example, even if the user who is drowned in the treatment element 5 slightly loses the treatment posture, it is simple and inexpensive that the entire treatment element drive unit 3 is urged by the front urging means 4. Comfortable massage in a state where an appropriate basic pressure load such as a shiatsu load constantly applied by a chiropractor applying massage treatment is ensured by the structure to secure a feeling of contact of the treatment element 5 to the user. The advantage that treatment can be secured can be provided.
