  In the chair-type massage machine disclosed in Patent Literature 1, the user and the forearm had to be inserted between the airbags in order for the user to receive the treatment of the hand and the forearm. Therefore, when the user inserts the hand and the forearm between the airbags, the hand and the forearm are separated from the armrest in the left-right direction. As a result, the user could not take a natural posture while sitting on the seat. In other words, the user is forced to take a cramped posture when receiving the treatment of the hand and the forearm with a plurality of airbags.

  In a state where the hand and the forearm of the user are inserted between the airbags, the hand and the forearm move in the left-right direction with the inflation and contraction of the airbag. That is, the hand and the forearm of the user become extremely unstable due to the operation of the airbag. As a result, the pressing force of the airbag on the hand and the forearm is reduced, and the hand and the forearm cannot be properly treated.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and an object of the present invention is to allow a user to take a natural sitting posture and to stably hold a region from the hand of the user to the forearm. And an area from the buttocks to the thighs.

  In order to achieve the above object, a first embodiment of the present invention relates to a chair-type massage machine, and the chair-type massage machine is provided on a seat, and on both left and right sides of the seat. A pair of left and right armrests having an inner portion facing the buttocks and thighs of the user in a seated state in a sitting state, and arranged at a position facing the inner portion of each armrest, and can be expanded and contracted A treatment section having at least one airbag, and an insertion provided between the inside of each armrest and the treatment section, and capable of inserting a forearm region including at least one of a hand and a forearm of a user. And a unit. The treatment section includes a first treatment surface facing the inner side of the armrest, and a second treatment surface facing the buttocks and thighs of the user in a seated state. The treatment section is characterized in that the first treatment surface is configured to press the forearm region of the user inserted into the insertion section by the inflation of the airbag toward the inside of each armrest. I do.

  In the first embodiment, the hand and the forearm of the user can be positioned near the armrest by the insertion portion provided between the inner side of each armrest and the treatment section. As a result, the user can receive treatment in the forearm region by the treatment unit while maintaining a natural sitting posture. The treatment section is configured such that the first treatment surface presses the forearm region of the user, which is inserted into the insertion section by the inflation of the airbag, toward the inside of each armrest. With this configuration, the forearm region of the user is stably held in a state of being sandwiched between the inner side of each armrest and the first treatment surface. As a result, the pressing force of the first treatment surface on the forearm region of the user increases, and the forearm region can be appropriately treated. Further, the treatment section including the first treatment surface and the second treatment surface treats both the forearm region and the region from the buttocks to the thighs of the user. Therefore, in the first embodiment, the user can take a natural sitting posture, and can treat the stably held forearm region and the region from the buttocks to the thighs.

  According to a second mode, in the first mode, the airbag is provided with a first acupressure body having a first protrusion protruding from the first treatment surface.

It is characterized by having such a configuration.

  In the second embodiment, the pressing treatment by the first treatment surface and the acupressure treatment by the first acupressure body can be given to the forearm region of the user. Further, since the forearm region of the user is stably held in the insertion portion, the first protrusion of the first acupressure body is moved to a number of acupoints included in the forearm region (particularly the palm) of the user. It is possible to make accurate contact so as not to displace. Thereby, the positional accuracy of the acupressure treatment by the first acupressure body can be improved.

  According to a third mode, in the first or second mode, a second acupressure body having a second protrusion protruding from the inner side is provided on each armrest. When the first treatment surface moves toward the inside of each armrest by the inflation of the airbag, the second acupressure body acupressures the forearm region of the user whose second protrusion is inserted into the insertion portion. It is characterized by having such a configuration.

  In the third embodiment, the pressing treatment by the first treatment surface and the acupressure treatment by the second acupressure body can be given to the forearm region of the user. Further, since the forearm region of the user is stably held in the insertion portion, the second protrusion of the second acupressure body is moved to a number of acupoints included in the forearm region (particularly, the back of the hand) of the user. It is possible to make accurate contact so as not to displace. Thereby, the positional accuracy of the acupressure treatment by the second acupressure body can be improved.

  The fourth mode is characterized in that, in the second mode, the first acupressure body is detachably attached to the airbag.

  In the fourth embodiment, since the first acupressure member is detachable from the airbag, the user has to select whether or not to receive the acupressure treatment by the first acupressure member in the forearm region (particularly, the palm) of the user. It can be left to the practitioner.

  The fifth mode is characterized in that, in the third mode, the second acupressure body is detachably attached to the inner side of the armrest.

  In the fifth embodiment, since the second acupressure body is detachable from the inner part of the armrest, whether or not the second acupressure body is to be subjected to the acupressure treatment in the forearm region (particularly, the back of the hand) of the user. The choice can be left to the patient.

  The sixth mode is characterized in that, in the first mode or the second mode, a buffer having low resilience is provided on the inner side of the armrest portion, the buffer having a low contact with the forearm region of the user in a seated state. And

  In the sixth embodiment, when the first treatment surface presses the forearm region of the user inserted into the insertion portion by the inflation of the airbag toward the inside of each armrest portion, the forearm region becomes the first treatment surface. It becomes softly wrapped between the cushioning material having low resilience. As a result, the intensity of the pressing treatment by the first treatment surface is reduced. In this way, for example, for a user who does not want strong pressing treatment, appropriate pressing treatment can be given to the forearm region.

  A seventh form is such that, in any one of the first to sixth forms, the seat portion and the armrest portion are arranged at corners where they intersect with each other, and the upper surface is located above the seat portion. The pedestal further includes a pedestal formed, wherein the pedestal is configured such that an upper surface thereof corresponds to a position of a bottom of the insertion portion.

  In the seventh embodiment, the forearm region of the user can be placed on the upper surface of the pedestal corresponding to the position of the bottom of the insertion section. That is, it is possible to position the forearm region of the user inserted into the insertion section above the seat. This makes it possible to further stabilize the sitting posture of the user when receiving treatment in the forearm region.

  In the above-described embodiment, the form in which the first acupressure body 60 can be stored in the storage section 51 of the cover section 50 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, instead of the above-described embodiment, the first acupressure body 60 may be configured to be detachable from the first airbag 41 by other means (not shown). Alternatively, the first acupressure body 60 may be formed integrally with the first airbag 41. Further, the first acupressure body 60 may not be provided.

  In the above embodiment, the second acupressure member 70 is detachable from the inner portion 12 of each armrest 10 by the one surface fastener 14 and the other surface fastener 73, but is not limited thereto. I can't. For example, instead of the above-described embodiment, the second acupressure member 70 may be configured to be detachable from the inner portion 12 of the armrest portion 10 by another means (not shown). Alternatively, the second acupressure body 70 may be formed integrally with the inner part 12 of the armrest part 10. Furthermore, a mode in which the second acupressure member 70 is not provided may be adopted.

  In the above embodiment, the second acupressure member 70 is attached to the recess 13 provided in the inner portion 12 of each armrest portion 10 so as to be detachable, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second acupressure body 70 may be attached to the inner portion 12 of the armrest 10 without providing the recess 13.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, a housing part 52 capable of housing the second acupressure body 70 may be provided in the inner part 12 of the armrest part 10. The accommodation part 52 is formed in a pocket shape opened upward. Even in such a form, the second acupressure member 70 can be attached to and detached from the inner portion 12 of the armrest 10 as in the above embodiment. Therefore, it is possible to entrust the user to select whether or not to receive the acupressure treatment by the second acupressure body 70 in the forearm region A (particularly, the back of the hand) of the user. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the one and other surface fasteners 14 and 73 in the above embodiment need not be provided.

  Further, instead of the second acupressure member 70, a buffer member (not shown) having low resilience (such as urethane) which abuts on the forearm region A of the user in the seated state may be provided on the inner portion 12 of each armrest portion 10. Good. In such a configuration, the first treatment surface 47 presses the forearm region A of the user inserted into the insertion portion 30 by the inflation of the first and second airbags 41 and 42 toward the inner portion 12 of each armrest portion 10. Then, the forearm region A is softly wrapped between the first treatment surface 47 and the buffer. As a result, the intensity of the pressing treatment by the first treatment surface 47 is reduced. In this way, for example, for a user who does not want strong pressing treatment, appropriate pressing treatment can be given to the forearm region A.
