<Coupling mechanism>
The toe unit (20) and the calf unit (40) are connected by a connecting mechanism (60).
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the coupling mechanism (60) includes an expansion / contraction mechanism (70) disposed in the center of the foot massager (10), and tilt mechanisms (62) provided on both sides of the foot massager (10). ) (62), and the expansion / contraction mechanism (70) and the tilting mechanism (62) (62) link the foot unit (20) and the calf unit (40).
In the present specification, the connection mechanism (60) is composed of the expansion / contraction mechanism (70) and the tilting mechanism (62). Further, the telescopic mechanism (70) and the tilting mechanism (62) may be integrated.

<Extension mechanism>
The expansion / contraction mechanism (70) has an actuator (71) that operates by electric or pneumatic pressure. In the illustrated embodiment, a motor (73) is used as a drive source for the actuator (71).
The expansion / contraction mechanism (70) is arranged to be tiltable on the rear end side of the central wall (23) of the foot unit (20).

  In the case where the calf unit (40) is only slidable in the approaching and separating directions and is not tiltable, the telescopic mechanism (70) does not need to be tiltable.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the telescopic mechanism (70) includes an actuator (71) on a holding plate (25) projecting upward from the bottom surface of the resin casing (21) of the foot unit (20). Etc. are supported by a fulcrum pin (26) inserted through a flange (72a) protruding from the lower surface of the case (72) so as to be tiltable in the front-rear direction. An opening (27) is formed in the central wall (23) of the resin casing (21) from the upper surface near the rear end to approximately the height of the center of the rear end. The case (72) has an opening at the front end. It protrudes from (27) and can tilt backward from a substantially vertical state.

The case (72) has a motor (73) and a screw shaft (76) that can be driven via a worm wheel (75) to a rotating shaft (74) of the motor (73). The screw shaft (76) is pivotally supported by the case (72), and a nut member (77) having a screw engraved on the inner surface is fitted into the screw shaft (76).
A rod (78) is connected to the upper end of the nut member (77), and the tip of the rod (78) enters the resin casing (41) of the calf unit (40) from the opening (41a). It is supported via a support pin (46) on a holding plate (45) protruding inside the resin casing (41). Although the support pin (46) penetrates the rod (78) in the left-right direction, the calf unit (40) is connected to the tilt rods (63) (63) of the left-right tilt mechanism (62) described later. Since it is fixed to the tip, the calf unit (40) does not swing around the support pin (46) with respect to the rod (78) of the telescopic mechanism (70).

When the motor (73) of the expansion / contraction mechanism (70) is operated to rotate the screw shaft (76), the nut member (77) moves up and down along the screw shaft (76) by the screw thrust.
1 and 3, when the motor (73) is operated so that the nut member (77) moves upward, the rod (78) is pushed upward and connected to the rod (78). As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the calf unit (40) thus moved moves upward in the direction away from the foot unit (20).

  Conversely, the motor (73) is operated so that the nut member (77) moves downward from the state shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 in which the calf unit (40) is separated from the foot unit (20). In this case, the rod (78) is pulled back into the case (72), and the calf unit (40) connected to the rod (78) is attached to the foot as shown in FIGS. It moves in the direction approaching the unit (20), downward in the figure.

  As described above, the calf unit (40) can be slidably moved toward and away from the foot unit (20).

<Tilt mechanism>
The tilt mechanism (62) connects both sides of the rear end side of the resin casing (21) of the foot unit (20) and both sides of the rear end side of the resin casing (41) of the calf unit (40). ing.
The tilting mechanism (62) has tilting rods (63) (63) whose base end side is supported by the foot unit (20) so as to be tiltable and whose distal end is fitted into the calf unit (40).

  The tilting rod (63) is supported by the foot unit (20) so that the proximal end can tilt within the front and rear surfaces, and tilts with respect to the foot unit (20) in an unloaded state. The rods (63) (63) are urged in the standing direction by urging means (not shown) such as a spring so that the rods (63) are erected substantially vertically.

The other end of the tilting rod (63) is slidably fitted into a cylindrical hole (47) formed inwardly from the lower surface of the rear end of the resin casing (41) of the calf unit (40).
Therefore, when the telescopic mechanism (70) described above is operated, the tilting rods (63) (63) are moved into the cylindrical holes (47) (47) as the calf unit (40) slides toward and away from it. Slide

The tilting mechanism (62) allows the patient to insert his / her leg into the foot massager (10) and adjust the posture of the user, for example, when sitting on a chair or lying down, at a calf angle. Accordingly, the calf unit (40) is pushed by the calf of the user, and the calf recesses (42) (42) are tilted while maintaining a state of fitting to the calf.
When the user removes his / her leg from the foot massager (10), the calf unit (40) is returned to the standing direction by the urging force of the urging means.

  As described above, the calf unit (40) can be tilted by being added to the foot unit (20).

<Normal massage operation>
Regarding the foot massager (10) having the above-described configuration, the user inserts the toes into the toe recesses (22) and (22), and inserts the calves into the toe recesses (42) and (42).
The calf unit (40) is tilted to fit the calf by the tilting mechanism (62) according to the posture of the user's leg, i.e., the angle of the calf. Can always stay firmly against the calf.

  In this state, you can apply pressure massage to the toes and calves of the user by inflating and contracting the toe airbags (30) and (30) and the calf airbags (50) and (50). .

  In addition, if the length of the leg of the user or the position of the affected part where massage is desired is different, the telescopic mechanism (70) is activated to move the calf unit (40) relative to the toe unit (20). The foot-tip airbags (30) and (30) and the calf airbags (50) and (50) may be inflated and contracted by sliding.

<Crushing massage action>
A massage massage means that while pressing the calf airbag (50) (50) firmly against the calf, the calf airbag (50) (50) is moved up and down along the calf and the calf airbag (50 ) (50) is a massage that gives a calf.

A massage massage can be performed as follows.
In a state where the user has inserted the leg into the foot massager (10), the foottip airbag (30) (30) is inflated, and the foottip is fixed in the foottip recess (22) (22), The calf of the user is held so as not to move together with the calf unit (40) during the massage.
Next, the calf airbags (50) and (50) are inflated so that the calf airbags (50) and (50) strongly hit the calf. It is desirable to adjust the air pressure of the calf airbags (50) and (50) during massage massage to be 5 to 15 KPa.

  In this state, when the telescopic mechanism (70) is operated and the calf unit (40) is slid up and down with respect to the toe unit (20), the calf airbag (50) (50) is strong against the calf. Since it slides against the calf while hitting, a massage is given to the calf.

  Since the massage is a novel massage that has never been seen before, a high massage effect can be expected, and by increasing the massage variation, the massage can be prevented from becoming monotonous.

  In the massage massage, the slide distance of the calf unit (40) by the expansion / contraction mechanism (70) is preferably about 200 mm including the affected area desired by the user.

  Also, for example, when the calf unit (40) slides away from the toe unit (20), that is, only when the calf unit (40) moves in the knee direction of the user. When the calf airbag (50) (50) is inflated and moved in the opposite direction, the calf airbag (50) (50) is contracted to promote blood flow from the toes to the knee. And an extremely high blood circulation improvement effect can be obtained.

<Stretch massage>
Stretch massage means that the calf unit (40) is moved away from the toe unit (20) while the calf is held by the calf airbag (50) (50). This is a massage that stretches the ankle by pulling the ankle.

Stretch massage can be performed as follows.
In a state where the user has inserted the leg into the foot massager (10), the foottip airbag (30) (30) is inflated, and the foottip is fixed in the foottip recess (22) (22), Hold the patient's legs so that they do not lift from the foot massager (10) during the stretch massage.
Next, the calf airbags (50) and (50) are inflated so that the calf airbags (50) and (50) strongly hit the calf. As a result, the calf of the user is held in the calf unit (40).
The air pressure of the airbags for calves (50) and (50) during stretch massage needs to be higher than that in the case of the above-mentioned massage massage, and it is desirable to adjust the air pressure to exceed 15 KPa.

  In this state, when the telescopic mechanism (70) is operated and the calf unit (40) is slid away from the toe unit (20), the calf unit (40) Since the calf is slid while being held by the calf airbags (50), (50), the calf is pulled away from the toes and stretch massage is applied to the ankles.

  After stretching the patient's ankle, the calf airbag (50) (50) is deflated, the calf hold is released, the telescopic mechanism (70) is activated, and the calf unit (40) is By sliding in the direction approaching the previous unit (20) and performing the above steps again, stretch massage can be repeatedly performed.

  Stretch massage is a massage with a novel sensation that has never existed before, so a high massage effect can be expected, and by increasing massage variations, it is possible to prevent the massage from becoming monotonous.

  In the stretch massage, the slide distance of the calf unit (40) by the expansion / contraction mechanism (70) is preferably about 100 mm.

  By performing the massage, not only the ankle of the user but also the muscles under the knee, the Achilles tendon, and the like can be stretched, so that the elasticity of the muscles can be increased and the blood flow can be increased. It is also effective in preventing ankle sprains.

  In the above embodiment, the expansion / contraction mechanism (70) is driven by the motor (73), but the expansion / contraction mechanism (70) can also be operated using a cylinder device, an airbag, or the like.
