It is a side view of the said main body housing | casing. It is a perspective view of the vibration plate of the massage device.

Hereinafter, a massage device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the massage apparatus 1 includes a cushion part 2, a main body 3, a controller 4, and a power supply part 5.
The cushion portion 2 is made of a disk-like elastic material, and a concave portion 21 for fitting the main body 3 is formed in the center portion.

The main body 3 is connected to the controller 4 and the power supply unit 5, and the surface of the main body 3 is covered with a non-water-permeable flexible sheet 31.
As shown in FIG. 4, two electromagnetic solenoids 32 are arranged inside the main body 3, and the projecting shafts of the two electromagnetic solenoids 32 are arranged obliquely, and the extension lines of these axes are arranged. Are set so as to intersect at a height H from the surface of the main body 3. The height H of the intersection is preferably about 1 cm or more and 20 cm or less. If it is less than 1 cm or more than 20 cm, it is difficult to effectively give vibration to the inside of the body.

As shown in FIG. 4, two vibration plates 34 are disposed at the tip of the retracting shaft, and the vibration plate 34 vibrates by hitting the back surface of the vibration plate 34 with the tip of the retracting shaft. Is configured to do.
The vibration plate 34 is disposed in an opening 35 (see FIGS. 5 and 6) provided on the upper surface of the housing of the main body 3. As shown in FIG. 7, the vibration plate 34 has a curved surface that matches the curved surface of the surface of the main body 3, and is adhered to the back surface of the covering sheet.
A gap D (see FIG. 4) is formed between the back surface of the vibration plate 34 and the tip of the retracting shaft 33, and the retracting shaft 33 and the vibration plate 34 are not connected.
With the above structure, the vibration plate 34 is struck and vibrated by the projecting and retracting shaft 33 that is driven to project and retract at a predetermined set frequency. Therefore, the vibration plate 34 vibrates at a frequency including harmonics derived from the set frequency. Become. Therefore, effective vibration including harmonics can be given to the user's body.

  Further, the projecting shaft 33 is disposed so as to be inclined so that the intersection of the extension lines is at a height H from the surface of the main body 3, so that the surface of the main body 3 is shown in FIG. Effective vibration can be applied to an internal organ or tissue of a user (indicated by a broken line) located away from the user.

Next, the usage method of the massage apparatus 1 which concerns on this invention is demonstrated with reference to FIG.
One method of use is to sit and use.
For example, the cushion portion 2 and the main body 3 are placed on a seat surface or a floor surface of a chair. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the main body 3 is fitted into a recess 21 formed in the central portion of the cushion portion 2.
Then, the user sits in a state where the main body 3 is sandwiched between the crotch of both legs.
In this state, since the lower half of the main body 3 is fitted in the recess 21 of the cushion portion 2, only about half the height comes out from the cushion portion 2. The contact state between the groins is appropriate.

In this state, the controller is operated to start vibration. The vibration pattern and vibration intensity can be changed to various settings.
When used in this way,
The tip of the retracting shaft 33 that is driven to retract at a predetermined frequency by the solenoid strikes the back surface of the vibration plate 34 to vibrate the vibration plate 34. This vibration is transmitted to the lower body of the user's body shown by a broken line in FIG. 4, particularly the lower abdomen through the covering sheet, and the tissue and organs in the body of the lower abdomen are vibrated to be in a motion state. So the lower abdomen is warmed and feels good.
And, it can be expected that a health promotion effect can be obtained from the inside of the body by the effect of such vibration.

Another use method is a method of using the main body 3 removed from the cushion portion 2 on a bed or the like.
For example, lying on the bed, only the main body 3 is sandwiched between the legs.
In this state, the controller is operated to start vibration.
When used in this way, vibrations from the body 3 sandwiched between the groins are applied to the lower body of the body, particularly the lower abdomen. Since the given vibration is transmitted and the tissues and organs in the body of the lower abdomen vibrate, the lower abdomen warms and feels comfortable.
It is expected that a health promotion effect can be obtained from the inside of the body by the action effect of such vibration.

Yet another method of use is a method used for massaging other parts of the body.
For example, a neck massage is also possible by placing the neck on the main body 3 instead of a pillow and vibrating it while lying on its back.
In addition, it can be used for massage of each part such as the calf of the foot and the sole of the foot.

In addition, as a shape of the said main body, it is not limited to a column shape, The shape provided with the semi-column shape or the convex surface is preferable.
Further, the power source is configured to be supplied from an external commercial power source. However, the battery may be built in or may be configured to be supplied from a built-in power source of the automobile.
