A treatment element 62 of the massage unit 6 to be described later protrudes forward from the opening 3b so that the user's body can be massaged from behind via a cover member (not shown).

[Composition of massage part]
FIG. 3 is a front view of the massage unit 6. As shown in FIG. 3, the backrest unit 3 is provided with a massage unit 6 that massages the upper body of the user from the back (back side). It is preferable that a plurality (two in this embodiment) of the massage portions 6 are provided along the height direction. This massage part 6 is comprised by the arm 61 which makes a pair on the right and left, and the treatment element 62 provided in the up-and-down both ends of the arm 61, and the left and right treatment element 62 is driven by the massage motors M1 and M2. It is possible to perform a massage massage that moves close to and away from each other and a tapping massage in which the left and right treatment elements 62 advance and retreat alternately. In addition, the massage unit 6 can move upward or downward along the height direction by driving the lifting motor M3 to change the position relative to the body or perform a rolling massage. The back frame 3 a is provided with a pair of left and right guide rails 16 (see FIG. 1) extending in the height direction, and the massage unit 6 moves along the guide rails 16. Since the massage part 6 can move in the height direction, the treatment element 62 can massage between the neck and the waist of the user.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the massage unit 6 includes a base frame 60a and a movable frame 60b supported by the base frame 60a. The base frame 60a has guide rollers 63 that fit into the guide rails 16 on both the left and right sides. And it can move along a height direction by the raising / lowering mechanism (not shown) which consists of rack pinions etc. The movable frame 60b is supported by the base frame 60a via a swing shaft 64 in the left-right direction. Between the base frame 60a and the movable frame 60b, an advancing / retreating drive unit 65 made of an air cell or the like is provided. By driving the advance / retreat drive unit 65, the movable frame 60 b can advance and retract in the front-rear direction about the swing shaft 64. Note that the movable frame 60b may not be configured to advance or retract, and the arm 61 may be provided with the advance / retreat drive unit 65 to advance or retract only the arm 61.

  The arm 61 is connected to a rubbing shaft 66 and a hitting shaft 67 extending in the left-right direction. An inclined cam 66a having an inclined shaft portion 66b is provided on both the left and right sides of the rubbing shaft 66, and an arm 61 is attached to the inclined cam 66a. The left and right inclined shaft portions 66b are inclined with respect to the axis of the rubbing shaft 66 so as to be substantially C-shaped when viewed from the front. An eccentric cam 67 a having an eccentric shaft portion 67 b that is eccentric with respect to the axis of the hitting shaft 67 is provided on both the left and right sides of the hitting shaft 67, and the arm 61 is attached to the eccentric cam 67 a via a connecting rod 68. ing. The left and right eccentric shaft portions 67b are different from each other in phase with respect to the axis of the hitting shaft 67, specifically, 180 degrees. The kneading shaft 66 and the hitting shaft 67 are rotated by driving the massage motors M1 and M2, respectively. The treatment element 62 performs massaging massage by the rotation of the massaging shaft 66, and performs massaging massage by the rotation of the hammering shaft 67. The arm 61 provided with the treatment element 62, the kneading shaft 66, and the hitting shaft 67 are supported by the movable frame 60b. Therefore, the treatment element 62 can advance and retreat with respect to the user through the movement of the movable frame 60b.

  The arm 61 is swingable in the front-rear direction, and is biased by biasing means (not shown) made of a spring or the like so that the upper treatment element 62 protrudes forward. Moreover, the massage part 6 has the sensor 69 (refer FIG. 2) which detects a user's body information. The sensor 69 can obtain physical information by detecting that the arm 61 has reached a predetermined swinging position. More specifically, when the upper treatment element 62 reaches above the shoulder in the process of raising the massage portion 6 along the height direction, the load acting on the treatment element 62 is released, and the arm 61 moves forward. It swings to a predetermined swing position. The sensor 69 detects that the arm 61 has reached a predetermined swing position, and detects the position of the shoulder based on the vertical position of the massage unit 6 at that time. The position of other parts (neck, back, waist, etc.) is obtained by calculation based on the position of the shoulder. The detected physical information is stored in the control unit 14. The physical information may be input by the user. In this case, for example, physical information can be input by operating the controller 15 and stored in the control unit 14.
