  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(1) First Embodiment (1-1) Overall Configuration In FIG. 1, 1 denotes a massage device as a whole, and a pair of pressing portion main bodies 3 </ b> A and 3 </ b> B are provided so as to be slidable with respect to the mounting belt 2. ing.

  The mounting belt 2 is rectangular in cross section and has a horseshoe shape as a whole, and a guide hole 2C having a rectangular cross section in the longitudinal direction is formed in the middle portion between the two end portions 2A and 2B. By passing through the case portions of the pressing portion main bodies 3A and 3B so as to cause the pressing portion main bodies 3A and 3B to move from the center portion position (the state shown in FIG. 1) of the mounting belt 2 to the front end portions 2A and 2B of the mounting belt 2. By moving to a position (the state shown in FIG. 2), the pair of pressing portion main bodies 3A and 3B can be positioned on the mounting belt 2 while facing each other, and as a result, massage of a massage target (ie, head or face) is performed. The target part can be positioned so as to be sandwiched with elasticity.

  In the case of this embodiment, the constituent material of the mounting belt 2 is any one of a metal material, a synthetic resin material, a rubber material, a cloth material, a leather material, a nonwoven material, or a hybrid material thereof (for example, a synthetic resin material). Has been selected.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the pressing portion main body 3 </ b> A (and 3 </ b> B) is rotated into the pressing operation chamber 14 by decelerating the rotation of the motor in the motor chamber 12 by the reduction mechanism in the deceleration chamber 13. The output is made via the projecting output shaft 13A.

  In the case of this actual form, the motors in the motor chambers 12 of the pressing unit main bodies 3A and 3B are DC motors, which are activated by the power supply operating unit 6 having the control operator 5 via the cords 4B and 4B, respectively.

  The rotation of the output shaft of the motor is decelerated by the planetary gear constituting the reduction chamber 13, and the output shaft 13A is rotationally driven at a slow rotational speed.

  As shown in FIG. 4, an eccentric rotating disk portion 16 having a circular eccentric rotating disk 16 </ b> A fixed to a rotating shaft 15 coupled to an output shaft 13 </ b> A of the deceleration chamber 13 is formed in the pressing operation chamber 14. .

  A protruding opening 11B is formed in the side plate portion 11A of the case 11 facing the eccentric rotating disk portion 16, and a cushioning material 21 made of a lump of flexible material and an outer peripheral surface of the cushioning material 21 are formed in the protruding opening 11B. A pressing protrusion 23 made of the surrounding cover layer material 22 is formed.

  As a result, as shown by the arrow a1, when the eccentric rotating disk 16A rotates around the eccentric rotating shaft 15, the eccentric rotating disk 16A passes while pushing the cushioning material 21 outward, and thus the cover layer material 22 is passed. As shown by an arrow b1, the projection is moved outward from the projection opening 11B.

  Thus, when the eccentric rotating disk 16A starts to pass through the inside of the buffer material 21 from the state where it is separated from the inner surface of the buffer material 21, the cover layer material 22 of the pressing projection 23 bulges outward, and thereafter the eccentric rotating disk. When 16A passes through the cushioning material 21, the pressing protrusion 23 operates to return to the original state as indicated by an arrow b2.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 5, in a state where the pressing protrusion 23 is in contact with the massage target portion, the pressing protrusion 23 bulges to the outside every time the eccentric rotating disk 16A makes one rotation, and then returns to the original state. By doing this, a massage operation is performed by pressing as if the massage target part is pressed with a fingertip (this is called a one-point press massage operation).

  1 to 5, after the massage device 1 is set so that the front end portions 2A and 2B of the wearing belt 2 sandwich the face or head when the user performs a massage operation, the pair of pressing portion main bodies 3A and 3B is slid from the center position toward the tip portions 2A and 2B to obtain a state in which the pressing protrusion 23 is applied to the massage target portion to be massaged on the face or head.

  In this state, when power is supplied to the motor of the motor chamber 12 by operating the control operator 5, the eccentric rotating disk portion 16 of the pressing operation chamber 14 is rotated at a slow rotational speed via the deceleration mechanism of the deceleration chamber 13. The eccentric rotating disk 16A is rotated.

  At this time, the pressing protrusion 23 is relatively large with a slow cycle with respect to the massage target part by intermittently bulging outside via the cushioning material 21 according to the rotation of the eccentric rotating disk 16A. Apply pressing force.

  At this time, by applying a pressing force in such a manner that the pair of pressing portion main bodies 3A and 3B sandwich the face or head, the user feels as if he / she massages the fatigued portion with his / her finger and is appropriate for the massage target portion. Can give a special massage effect.

(1-2) Modified example of the first embodiment (1-2-1) Long face 4-point pressing FIG. 6 shows a modified example of the first embodiment, corresponding to FIG. In this case, the pressing portion main body 3A (3B) is attached to the rotating shaft 15 of the eccentric rotating disc portion 16 connected to the output shaft 13A of the deceleration chamber 13 as an eccentric rotating disc portion 16. Four-stage eccentric rotating disks 16B1, 16B2, 16B3, and 16B4 are attached so as to be sequentially arranged in the extending direction of the rotating shaft 15.

  In the case of this embodiment, the case 11 is provided with a battery in the battery chamber 31 as a drive source for the motor chamber 12, thereby driving the DC motor in the motor chamber 12.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the four eccentric rotating disks 16B1, 16B2, 16B3, and 16B4 constituting the eccentric rotating disk unit 16 have an eccentric angle with respect to the rotating shaft 15 connected to the output shaft 13A of the deceleration chamber 13. Are attached at an angular position so that they are gradually shifted by an angle of 360 [°] / 4.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, while the output shaft 13A, and hence the rotating shaft 15, rotates once, the eccentric rotating disks 16B1, 16B2, 16B3, and 16B4 have four eccentric rotating disks 16B1 with respect to the massage target part. A pressing operation is sequentially performed on the massage treatment range SM of a relatively long surface (referred to as a long surface) corresponding to ˜16B4.

  Thus, the pressing portion main bodies 3A and 3B can perform the press massage processing by the eccentric rotating disks 16B1, 16B2, 16B3, and 16B4 with respect to the massage treatment range SM that is wider than the case of FIG.

  In this case, in particular, the four eccentric rotating disks 16B1, 16B2, 16B3, and 16B4 sequentially move their protruding positions with respect to the cushioning material 21 as time elapses, so that the pressing protrusion 23 extends in the extending direction of the mounting belt 2. The pressing position is sequentially moved in the vertical direction, and as a result, a four-point pressing massage effect that spreads the one-point pressing massage operation in the vertical direction with respect to the massage target part can be obtained.

(1-2-2) Alternate four-point pressing FIG. 9 shows a modification of FIG. 8, in which the eccentric angles of the four eccentric rotating disks 16B1 to 16B4 are assigned in groups of two, and rotational eccentricity. The eccentric angles between the boards 16B1 and 16B2 and 16B3 and 16B4 are set to be different from each other by 180 [°].

  Further, the eccentric angles of the two eccentric rotating disks 16B3 and 16B4 are different from each other by 180 [°], and the eccentric angle position of the third eccentric rotating disk 16B3 is 180 [°] with respect to the second eccentric rotating disk 16B2. Are set differently.

  According to the eccentric rotating disk part 16 of FIG. 9, in the massage treatment range SM by the four eccentric rotating disks 16B1 to 16B4, the massage range for the massage target part is divided into two, and in each part divided into the two A four-point massage effect can be realized such that the pressing protrusion 23 alternately massages in the vertical direction.

(1-2-3) Vibration Massage Addition FIG. 10 (A) shows still another modified example. As shown in FIG. Horizontal vibration gears 31 </ b> A and 31 </ b> B are provided at the root side end and tip of the rotating shaft 15, respectively.

  The horizontal vibration gears 31A and 31B are subjected to mass addition processing so that the mass of the gear portion on the outer surface is non-uniform, and when this is rotated integrally with the output shaft 15, the mass addition of the outer peripheral surface is performed. Based on the non-uniformity, fine vibration is given to the rotating shaft 15.

  Thus, according to the configuration of FIG. 10 (A), the eccentric rotating disk portion 16 is given one point by periodically applying a protruding output to the pressing protrusion 23 by the four eccentric rotating disks 16B1 and 16B2 and 16B3 and 16B4. In addition to obtaining a multi-point pressing massage effect, a vibration massage effect that gives vibration to the massage target part can be realized by adding vibration to the impact output.

  FIG. 10B has a configuration in which a vertical vibration gear 32 is provided at the tip of the rotating shaft 15 instead of the horizontal vibration gears 31A and 31B of FIG.

  The vertical vibration gear 32 is formed by forming unevenness on the surface of the disk so that the mass distribution is not uniform in the circumferential direction, whereby the vertical vibration gear 32 rotates integrally with the rotary shaft 15. When this occurs, radial vibration is applied to the rotating shaft 15.

  Accordingly, also in the case of FIG. 10B, the vibration massage effect can be realized in addition to the one-point or multiple-point press massage effect as described above with reference to FIG.

(2) Second Embodiment FIG. 11 (A) shows a second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8 with the same reference numerals assigned to corresponding parts to FIG. An eccentric rotation mechanism 35 is provided for the output shaft 13A of the deceleration chamber 13.

  The eccentric rotation mechanism 35 has a disc-shaped eccentric conversion member 36 that is coaxially coupled to the tip of the output shaft 13A, and an eccentric coupling shaft 37 is fixed to the tip-side surface of the eccentric conversion member 36.

  The eccentric connecting shaft 37 is disposed so as to protrude parallel to the output shaft 13A at a position eccentric in the outer circumferential direction from the center of the eccentric converting member 36, and a disc-shaped coaxial disk member 38 is attached to the tip thereof. ing.

  Thus, when the output shaft 13A rotates, the eccentric connecting shaft 37 rotates around the output shaft 13A through a position eccentric from the center on the eccentricity conversion member 36.

  As described above with reference to FIG. 4, the coaxial disk member 38 presses outwardly through the protruding opening 11 </ b> B when contacting the cushioning material 21 of the pressing protruding portion 23 according to the amount of eccentricity.

  As a result, the pressing protrusion 23 generates a pressing force outward in accordance with the rotation of the coaxial disk member 38 of the eccentric rotation mechanism 35, thereby realizing a one-point pressing massage effect on the massage target part.

  FIG. 11 (B) shows a modification to FIG. 11 (A). As shown in FIG. 11 (A), parts corresponding to those in FIG. The disk member 39 is attached.

  The eccentric disk member 39 is attached to the tip of the eccentric connecting shaft 37 at a position eccentrically outward from the same central position, so that when the eccentric rotating member 36 rotates, the eccentric connecting shaft 37 with respect to the output shaft 13A. In addition to the amount of eccentricity of the eccentric disk member 39, the eccentric disk member 39 performs planetary motion by the amount of eccentricity of the eccentric disk member 39 with respect to the eccentric coupling shaft 37, so that the eccentric disk member 39 becomes a cushioning material 21. When it comes into contact with the body, a larger pressing force can be applied to the massage target part.

  Thereby, according to the structure of FIG. 11 (B), the one point press massage effect which can give a much bigger pressing force to a massage object site | part by simple structure is implement | achieved.

(3) Third Embodiment FIG. 12 shows a third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the same reference numerals are assigned to the corresponding parts to those in FIG. Is provided with a pressing operation unit 40 at the tip of the output shaft 13A of the deceleration chamber 13.

  The pressing operation part 40 has a protruding pressing part 41 disposed inside the case 11 so as to be slidable with respect to the protruding opening 11B.

  The protrusion pressing part 41 slides the protrusion pressing part 41 according to the rotation of the eccentric rotation member 42 by inserting the eccentric rotation member 42 fixed to the tip of the output shaft 13 </ b> A into the engagement hole 43.

  When the protruding pressing portion 41 is in a rotational position in which the eccentric tip of the eccentric rotating member 42 faces upward, the eccentric tip of the eccentric rotating member 42 pushes up the upper inner surface of the engagement hole 43 as shown in FIG. Thus, the protruding pressing portion 41 is positioned so as to be taken into the protruding opening 11B.

  When the eccentric rotating member 42 rotates from this state as indicated by an arrow c1, the eccentric tip end of the protruding pressing portion 41 comes into contact with the lower inner surface position of the engagement hole 43 as shown in FIG. Moreover, the lower end portion 41 </ b> A of the protruding pressing portion 41 is protruded outward from the protruding opening 11 </ b> B of the case 11 by pressing the protruding pressing portion 41 downward by the eccentric tip of the eccentric rotating member 42.

  Thereafter, when the eccentric rotation member 42 further rotates, the sliding contact position of the eccentric tip of the eccentric rotation member 42 moves to the upper position of the engagement hole 43, so that the protruding pressing portion 41 is described above with reference to FIG. Go back to the original position.

  Thus, according to the configuration of FIG. 12, the lower end portion 41A of the projecting pressing portion 41 presses the massage target portion according to the rotation of the output shaft 13A of the deceleration chamber 13, and the state where the massage target portion is separated from the press is repeated. A pressing massage effect is realized for the part.

  In the case of this embodiment, a temperature adjusting member 44 is provided at an end portion of the protruding pressing portion 41 on the lower end portion 41 </ b> A side of the engaging hole 43.

  The temperature adjusting member 44 is configured by a heating plate or a cooling plate, and when the protruding pressing portion 41 comes into contact with the massage target part, the massage treatment condition can be further improved by heating or cooling the massage target part. .

(4) Fourth Embodiment FIG. 14 shows a fourth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 14, the same reference numerals are assigned to the corresponding parts to those in FIG. The rotation shaft 51 of the pressing operation unit 50 is connected to the tip of the output shaft 13A of the deceleration chamber 13.

  The rotating shaft 51 is provided with a pressing force forming pulley 52, and the pressing force forming pulley 52 is mounted between the output shaft 13 </ b> A and a bearing 53 formed on the case 11 to reduce the speed reduction chamber 13. The output shaft 13A is rotated in accordance with the rotation of the output shaft 13A.

  A pressing member 54 made of a buffer material is held by a holding member 55 so as to be slidable with respect to the protruding opening 11B.

  The holding member 55 is biased so that the base portion 55 </ b> A contacts the outside of the bearing 53 by a spring 51 provided around the protruding opening 11 </ b> B of the case 11.

  When the outer surface of the pressing force forming pulley 52 presses the holding member 55 in this state in the direction of the protruding opening 11B, the holding member 55 is pushed outward from the protruding opening 11B against the bias of the spring 56. .

  Thus, the outer surface of the pressing member 54 gives a pressing force by contacting the massage target part facing the protruding opening 11B.

  In the case of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, three types of pressing force forming surfaces 52A, 52B and 52C are formed in the angular range of one rotation on the outer surface of the pressing force forming pulley 52. When the surface of the pressing force forming pulley 52 contacts the holding member 55 for one rotation, the holding member 55 has a strong pressing force due to the pressing force forming surface 52A which is greatly increased outward in the first angular range W1. Thus, the pressing member 54 is pressed outward.

  In addition, the holding member 55 presses the pressing member 54 outward with a strong pressing force by the pressing force forming surface 52B that is greatly increased outward through the recess in the angular range W2 following the pressing force forming surface 52A.

  Further, the holding member 55 presses the pressing member 54 outward with a weak pressing force by the pressing force forming surface 52C which is greatly lowered inward in the angular range W3 following the pressing force forming surface 52B.

  In this embodiment, during the one rotation, a strong pressing force is formed by the pressing force forming surface 52A for 1 second, and then pressed by the pressing force forming surface 52B with a strong pressing force for 2 seconds, and then the pressing force is continuously generated. A massage device that is pressed with a weak pressing force for 3 seconds by the forming surface 52C is realized.

(5) Fifth Embodiment (5-1) Overall Configuration FIG. 16 shows a fifth embodiment. In this case, the pressing portion main bodies 3AX and 3BX are shown in FIG. The motor chamber 12X and the deceleration chamber 13X having the same configuration as the motor chamber 12 and the deceleration chamber 13 described above are provided, and the output shaft 13AX is led out from the deceleration chamber 13X.

  A pressing mechanism 60 is provided at the tip of the case 11X through a protruding opening 11BX provided in a direction perpendicular to the output shaft 13AX.

  The pressing mechanism 60 has a turntable 60A as shown in FIG.

  A rotation shaft 60B is provided at the center of the upper surface of the turntable 60A, and the rotation shaft 60B is coupled to the rotation output shaft 13AX via a rotation direction changing gear mechanism 60C.

  In the turntable 60A, the peripheral edge 60A2 of the disk-shaped top plate 60A1 is bent downward, and a pressing force is applied to the rotary shafts 60A41 and 60A42 mounted between the peripheral edge 60A2 and the shaft support 60A3 provided at the center position. Rotating rollers 60A51 and 60A52 are rotatably provided.

  In the above configuration, when the output shaft 13AX of the deceleration chamber 13X rotates, the rotational force is transmitted to the rotating shaft 60B of the turntable 60A via the bevel gears 61A and 61B that mesh with each other.

  Therefore, the user grasps the root portion of the case 11X and presses the pressing force applying rotating rollers 60A51 and 60A52 of the turntable 60A against the massage target portion, so that the pressing force applying rotating rollers 60A51 and 60A52 select the massage target portion. As the turntable 60A rotates in the direction of the arrow d1 while pressing, it rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow d2.

  Accordingly, the pressing force applying rotary rollers 60A51 and 60A52 perform roller massage so as to rub the circular massage on the surface of the massage target part.

  Thus, the pressing portion main bodies 3AX and 3BX can perform roller massage on a predetermined area of the massage target portion, and the massage strength can be finely adjusted as necessary by the user adjusting the pressing strength of the turntable 60A. Can be adjusted.

(5-2) Modified Example of Fifth Embodiment FIG. 18 (A) shows a modified example of the turntable 60A of FIG.

  The angle rollers 70A to 70D have one angle ridge 71 on the outer surface of the disk.

  The four angle rollers 70A to 70D are rotatably mounted on rotating shafts 72A to 72D mounted between a shaft support portion 72 provided at the center position of the turntable 60A and a peripheral edge portion 60A2 of the turntable 60A. Thus, when the user rotates the turntable 60A while pressing the chevron rollers 70A to 70D against the massage target site, the chevron rollers 70A to 70D rotate in the direction indicated by the arrow d5, thereby causing the massage target site. On the other hand, in addition to the roller massage effect by the circumferential surface of the disc, the pressure massage effect by the mountain-shaped ridge 71 is realized.

  In the case of this embodiment, the chevron ridge 71 is formed in the direction along the rotation shafts 72A and 72C in the two chevron rollers 70A and 70C facing each other, whereby the chevron rollers 70A and 70C rotate.
