There is a problem of causing pulmonary thrombosis called economy class syndrome.

  Therefore, Patent Document 2 proposes that a footrest provided with an air bag is provided on the vehicle seat, and the shin of a person sitting on the vehicle seat is massaged by treatment means provided on the footrest.

  However, in the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1, a person sitting on a vehicle seat causes his / her back to be pressed against the treatment means by having his / her back rested on the backrest portion, and massaged by the treatment means. The treatment method could not fit the back exactly.

  Moreover, in the above-mentioned patent document 1, since the treatment means is provided on the seat and the backrest of the vehicle seat to massage the back and buttocks of a seated person, the vehicle is not provided with any treatment means. Compared with the seat, there is a problem that the seating comfort as the seat is lowered. Further, in Patent Document 2, the treatment means is in a state where the leg is supported on the front side of the footrest provided with the treatment means on the front side. The footrest with the treatment means on the front side has a problem that the support feeling of the leg is lower than the footrest intended only to support the leg without the treatment means. there were.

  Moreover, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the treatment means must be installed inside the seat, backrest, and footrest of the vehicle seat, and a new vehicle seat incorporating the treatment means is required. There was a problem of becoming.

Furthermore, although the treatment means in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 is an air bag, in these conventional examples, the air bag is provided with an air bag on a backrest portion, a seat portion, or a footrest on the vehicle seat. Since the person sitting on the seat is massaged from the back side, when the vehicle stops suddenly, the person sitting on the vehicle seat moves forward (in the direction away from the airbag) due to inertia. The conventional airbag provided on the backrest, seat, and footrest only serves as a massage, and cannot function as an airbag when the vehicle stops suddenly.

You may attach the lower end part of this rotation board 5 so that rotation is possible.

  The rotating plate 5 is provided with a standing state holding means (not shown) for holding the rotating plate 5 so as not to fall in a closed state standing along the front vehicle seat 1a. A horizontal state holding means (not shown) is provided for holding the horizontal state so that it does not fall any further and does not rotate in the closing direction.

  In the configuration as described above, in use, a person sitting on the vehicle seat 1b on the rear side with the treatment means 2 provided on the back surface of the rotating plate 5 by opening the rotating plate 5 and tilting it sideways. It faces the portion above the knee (upper thigh), and the horizontal state is held by the horizontal state holding means. Next, the treatment means 2 is driven, and the portion above the knee (upper leg) is massaged by the treatment means 2. As a result, fatigue can be recovered and the flow of blood and lymph in the part above the knee (upper thigh) can be promoted, and the leg can be prevented from swelling even when sitting on the vehicle seat for a long time.

  In the above-described use, the revolving mechanism of the front vehicle seat 1a is adjusted using the reclining mechanism of the front vehicle seat 1a, whereby the rotating plate 5 held in the horizontal state by the horizontal state holding means Adjust the vertical position and press the treatment means 2 against the upper part of the knee (upper thigh) so that the upper part of the knee (upper thigh) does not move so that the part above the knee can be massaged firmly. . When not in use, the holding by the horizontal state holding means is released, the rotating plate 5 is raised and closed, and the standing state is held by the standing state holding means. Thus, the treatment means 2 can be prevented from getting in the way by raising the rotating plate 5 along the vehicle seat 1 on the front side.

  As the treatment means 2, conventionally known various treatment means can be employed. For example, the treatment means 2 is constituted by the airbag 6 and a supply means (not shown) for supplying air to the airbag 6, or the treatment means 2 is constituted by a treatment element driven by a mechanical drive means. Or

  Here, when the treatment means 2 is constituted by the airbag 6 and the supply means for supplying air to the airbag 6, the airbag 6 repeats expansion and contraction, so that in addition to the original function as the treatment means 2, When the vehicle stops suddenly, it has a function of mitigating the impact when the vehicle is suddenly stopped by the airbag 6.
