Description

  The present invention relates to a massager capable of unprecedented new sensation.

  “Anma” and “shiatsu” as used in oriental medicine are so-called massages, which are performed by rubbing, rubbing, hitting, or pushing the affected part with the fingers or palms of the hand. For example, a “hand massager” disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-050575 is for compressing a trunk with air, and an “electric device” disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-165571 is a device related to acupressure. It is about "foot massager".

  Abrading, tapping, and pressing with a finger or palm of the hand are realized by the prior art described above. However, there has never been a massager that can be used to gently rub the skin using the action of rubbing with the palm, especially from the base of the finger to the fingertip.

  If there is a massager that works like this, it must give a new massage to the skin. In a sense, it can be said to be a healing massage. It is even better if such a massager can be used in combination with a conventional massager. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an entirely new massager capable of such grinding.

  For this reason, the present invention provides an electric motor housed in a housing, and a flexible outer surface that will be described later, and is attached to the electric motor and rotated to wear the body on the outer periphery. An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a massager for grinding a body contact portion comprising an impeller. The flexible impeller is rotated by an electric motor, but since the outer periphery of the impeller is out of the casing, the body can be worn here. This feeling with a flexible impeller as a massager is completely new and healing. Its applications include facial massage, scalp massage, and sore muscle massage.

  Next, the impeller can be such that the shape of the blade is convexly curved in the direction to wear the body. This has the same effect as rubbing the body from the back of the finger so that resistance against the body is reduced by using the base of the finger from the base of the finger to the tip of the finger. Alternatively, the silicone rubber spatula part of the scraper is deflected to give a feeling of feeling as if a soft elastic pressure is applied to the skin surface. In short, the tip of the impeller was made as little as possible to get caught in the body. Therefore, the effect of the massage becomes more flexible.

  Next, a part or all of the blades of the impeller may have a brush shape. A very good relaxing effect can be obtained by rubbing the body with a brush. As an actual configuration, for example, an empty piece of a blade can be formed into a brush shape, or all the blades can be formed into a brush shape. Examples of suitable materials for the impeller in this configuration include rubber, nylon, and PET resin.

  Next, it can have attachment means to the other massage device so that it can be attached to another massage device in an attachment manner. As other massage devices, the massage devices that perform the above-mentioned massage, hit, push, etc. are raised. To do. For example, at the beginning of the massage, a preparatory massage according to the present invention is performed, or as another massage device, the massage is performed at the end of the massage with the acupoint pusher, and the massage according to the present invention is performed. Alternatively, it may be configured to be used simultaneously. In addition, since it can attach to an attachment type in this invention, when it sees from other massage machines, the massage machine of this invention from which the softness | flexibility of a blade | wing differs can be replaced | exchanged suitably.

  The attachment means may be divided into two parts by a rotating shaft and may have urging means that the side of the impeller is always pressed against the body. The massage device according to claim 1 of the present invention is a type that is used by holding it alone in the hand. The pressing on the board must be indirect. Since the impeller is originally flexible, it is preferable to provide a biasing means that always acts to press against the body if a desired grinding effect is desired.

  As described above, according to the massage device of the present invention, it is possible to perform massage that is worn by the palm or massage that is softly worn from the base of the finger to the fingertip. This is a new massage effect.

  It is explanatory drawing which represented the whole Example 1 in the partial cross section.   It is explanatory drawing which represented the drive part of Example 1 in the partial cross section.   It is explanatory drawing of the impeller of Example 2. FIG.   10 is an explanatory diagram of Example 3. FIG.

  In the following, three embodiments of the facial massage device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these, and various modifications devised within the scope of the idea of the present invention. Examples are also within the scope of the present invention.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing the entirety of the present embodiment, and shows a section of a housing 1 to which an impeller 2 is attached in a sectional view. A part of the synthetic resin casing 1 is a handle 10, and a non-slip property is imparted to the surface thereof. The inside is a battery box (not shown), and the built-in battery is wired so as to be able to supply power to the motor 3 described later via the switch 31. Note that a control circuit can be accommodated in the handle 10 so that rotation control such as control of the rotation speed of the motor 3 can be performed.

  The configuration around the motor 3 will be apparent from FIG. That is, the motor 3 is fixed in the housing 1, and the impeller 2 is attached to the rotating shaft 30 of the motor 3. The outer periphery of the impeller 2 has flexible silicone rubber blades 20 at 9-fold symmetrical positions. The blade 20 is rotated in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1 (counterclockwise in FIG. 1), and is formed by being convexly curved in this direction. The impeller 2 having nine blades 20 is formed in a hollow cylindrical shape, and is fixed to the rotary shaft 30 so as to be fitted over the motor 3 so as to be covered with the motor 3. This configuration is for avoiding double space between the motor 3 and the impeller 2. The blade 20 of the impeller 2 is provided so as to rotate out of the housing 1 through the opening 11 of the housing 1. If it is desired that the facial massage device of this embodiment can be used in a bathroom, the motor 3 is waterproofed or the electrical system such as the battery box is waterproofed. It is better to

  When the switch 31 is turned on and the motor 3 is rotated, the blade 20 starts to rotate with the convex curve first (the concave curve becomes rear). Since the blades 20 come out from the opening 11 of the housing 1 and rotate in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1, when the face is brought close to the opening 11, the blades 20 come into contact with the skin so that the face is stroked. Acupuncture also gives a new and unique massage effect, like rubbing the skin with your fingertips. The blade 20 is formed with a convex curve as described above and does not give a feeling that the tip of the blade 20 is caught on the skin. Is possible.

  This embodiment relates to the impeller 21. The impeller 2 described above was provided with the blade 20 made of silicone rubber. However, in the impeller 21 of the present embodiment, a pork brush planted on the base portion 23 made of polyester resin instead of the blade 20. It has a feature in that it is a blade 24. Reference numeral 22 denotes a shaft hole.

  The brush blades 24 can give the user a feeling of gently touching with the brush when touching the skin. Further, the brush blade 24 is straight hair until it comes into contact with the skin, but shows the above-described convex curve state by touching the skin and receiving resistance. The brush blades can be freely designed such as those made of, for example, polyester resin other than pork or made of rubber comb teeth. In the present embodiment, the entire blade is formed in a brush shape. However, for example, only a part in the left-right direction of the drawing may be formed in a brush shape, or only the tip portion of the blade may be formed in a brush shape.

  The present embodiment is configured so that it can be attached to another massager 4 in an attachment manner. The other massage device 4 used in the present embodiment is a so-called acupressure device for performing a pressing massage, and includes a motor vibrator inside the acupressure tip portion. Moreover, while providing the insertion end part 17 for inserting and attaching the housing | casing 12 mentioned later to the connection cylinder 40 of this massage device 4, it is for fitting the connection tool 14 of the place which is a connection component by the side of the housing | casing 12 in this inside. A mounting opening 41 is provided for making electrical connection with the connector 14 and supplying power to the motor on the housing 12 side.

  The housing 12 has a built-in motor, and the impeller 2 is attached to the rotating shaft of the motor. The impeller 2 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and is attached to the motor in the same manner as the first embodiment. Further, the blade 20 of the impeller 2 is provided so as to go out of the housing 12 through the opening 13 of the housing 12 and rotate in the direction indicated by the arrow.

  The housing 12 is housed loosely so that it can be swung in the left-right direction in FIG. 4 with respect to the connecting tube 40 with the fitting end 17, and a rotating shaft is located near the fitting end 17. The connecting tool 14 is rotatably attached to the rotating shaft 15. In a sense, it can be seen that the housing 12 and the connector 14 are divided into two parts by the rotation shaft 15. Note that the connector 14 acts so as to always urge the housing 12 itself to the left in FIG. 4 by a coil spring 16 attached in the housing 12. Therefore, in order to attach the housing 12 to another massage device 4, the fitting end 17 is accommodated in the connection tube 40 so that the connection tool 14 is attached to the attachment opening 41. In other words, this embodiment is detachable with respect to the other massage device 4, and can be freely exchanged as an attachment.

  The shape and material of the massage device of the present invention can be arbitrarily selected. What is necessary is just to employ | adopt the structure suitable for an affected part. Further, a thin film-like cover may be hung on the impeller so that the impeller does not directly touch delicate skin. The massage device of the present invention can be configured as an attachment of a massage chair, or can be configured as a massage device for pets used alone.
