Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a rear perspective view of a massage machine 100 (hereinafter, referred to as “massage machine 100”) according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a front view of the massage machine 100. FIG. 3 is a rear perspective view of the storage body 1.

The massage machine 100 includes a storage body 1 for storing the massage mechanism and a band-shaped body 2 that can be separated from the storage body 1. The details of the massage mechanism will be described later.

The storage body 1 includes a contact surface F1 that comes into contact with the treatment site of the person to be treated, a back surface F2 on the side opposite to the contact surface F1, and through portions 11 and 12 provided on the back surface F2 through which the band-shaped body 2 is passed. Be prepared.

The through portion 11 is provided between the center of the back surface F2 in the longitudinal direction and one end of the back surface F2 in the longitudinal direction. The through portion 12 is provided between the center in the longitudinal direction of the back surface F2 and the other end in the longitudinal direction of the back surface F2. That is, the center of the back surface F2 in the longitudinal direction exists between the through portion 11 and the through portion 12. A mark M1 is provided at the center of the back surface F2 in the longitudinal direction. The mode of the mark M1 is not particularly limited, and for example, seams, ink prints, embroidery, grooves, and the like can be used.

The storage body 1 further includes an operation unit 13 that receives an operation by the operator and an AC code 14 (see FIGS. 6, 9, and 14). The operator and the person to be treated are usually the same person, but may be different people. An AC plug (not shown) is provided at the end of the AC cord 14. The housing body 1 uses the AC voltage supplied via the AC plug (not shown) and the AC cord 14 as the power supply voltage. The operation unit 13 is omitted except for FIGS. 6, 9, and 14, and the AC code 14 is omitted except for FIGS. 6 and 14.

Further, unlike the present embodiment, the housing body 1 may be equipped with a battery, and the DC voltage output from the battery may be used as the power supply voltage. The charging method of the battery may be wired charging or wireless charging.

The ends 21 and 22 of the strip 2 each have a loop shape. The treated person passes the four fingers through the loops of the ends 21 and 22 to grasp the ends 21 and 22, or the wrists pass through the loops of the ends 21 and 22 to the ends 21 and 22. You can apply force.

A mark M2 is provided at the center of the strip 2 corresponding to the center of the back surface F2 in the longitudinal direction. The mode of the mark M2 is not particularly limited, and for example, seams, ink prints, embroidery, grooves, and the like can be used.

When passing the strip 2 through the passing portions 11 and 12, for example, the end portion 22 of the strip 2 may be passed through the passing portion 11 and the passing portion 12 in this order as shown in FIG. 4, or as shown in FIG. 5, for example. The end 22 of the strip 2 may be passed only through the through portion 12, and then the end 21 of the strip 2 (not shown in FIG. 5) may be passed only through the through portion 11. Then, the position of the band-shaped body 2 with respect to the storage body 1 is adjusted so that the mark M1 of the storage body 1 and the mark M2 of the band-shaped body 2 substantially coincide with each other in the longitudinal direction of the storage body 1. The markers M1 and M2 make it easy to bring the position of the strip 2 with respect to the storage body 1 closer to the ideal position.

The strip 2 further includes a holding member that holds the contact state between the end 21 and the end 22. The holding member includes, for example, a pair of magnets provided at each of the end portion 21 and the end portion 22, a magnet provided at one of the end portion 21 and the end portion 22, and a magnetic material provided at the other end portion 21 and the end portion 22. , The fasteners provided on the end 21 and the end 22 and the like. It should be noted that the holding by the holding member can be released by applying an external force of a predetermined size or more to the holding member or performing a predetermined operation on the holding member.

Since the holding member can maintain the contact state between the end portion 21 of the strip-shaped body 2 and the end portion 22 of the strip-shaped body 2, the strip-shaped body 2 is separated from the storage body 1 as shown in FIG. 2 can be maintained in a compact form. That is, it is possible to prevent the strip-shaped body 2 from expanding in the longitudinal direction.

Further, when the massage machine 100 is not used, as shown in FIG. 7, the end of the band-shaped body 2 is surrounded by the band-shaped body 2 without separating the band-shaped body 2 from the storage body 1. When the contact state between the portion 21 and the end portion 22 of the strip-shaped body 2 is maintained, the central portion (shaded portion in FIG. 7) of the strip-shaped body 2 located between the through portion 11 and the through portion 12 is handled. Can be used as. This improves the convenience of carrying the massage machine 100.

Since the center of the back surface F2 in the longitudinal direction exists between the through portion 11 and the through portion 12, the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the strip 2 located between the through portion 11 and the through portion 12 (in FIG. 7). When the shaded portion) is used as a handle, the massage machine 100 can be carried in a well-balanced manner.

In order to make it easier to grip the handle when the central portion on the back surface side of the strip 2 (hatched portion in FIG. 7) is used as a handle, the central portion of the strip 2 in the longitudinal direction (hatched portion in FIG. 7) At least a part of the width may be narrower than the width of the other part of the strip 2. That is, the strip-shaped body 2 includes a narrow portion, a first non-narrow portion connected to one end of the narrow portion, and a second non-narrow portion connected to the other end of the narrow portion. The width in the lateral direction of the first non-width portion may be shorter than the width in the lateral direction of the first non-width portion and the width in the lateral direction of the second non-width narrow portion.

In the massage machine 100, the longitudinal length of the strip 2 is made longer than the longitudinal outer peripheral length of the storage body 1. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the storage body 1 can be surrounded by the band-shaped body 2 without separating the band-shaped body 2 from the storage body 1.

However, unlike the present embodiment, the longitudinal length of the strip 2 may be set to be equal to or less than the longitudinal outer peripheral length of the storage body 1. When the longitudinal length of the strip 2 is set to be equal to or less than the longitudinal outer peripheral length of the storage body 1, the strip 2 is bent in the direction opposite to that of FIG. 7, and the strip 2 is on the contact surface F1 side of the storage body 1. Do not turn to. Then, when the contact state between the end portion 21 of the strip-shaped body 2 and the end portion 22 of the strip-shaped body 2 is held by the holding member, the contact portion between the end portion 21 of the strip-shaped body 2 and the end portion 22 of the strip-shaped body 2 and its surroundings thereof. Can be used as a handle. However, the form in which the contact portion between the end portion 21 of the strip-shaped body 2 and the end portion 22 of the strip-shaped body 2 and its surroundings is used as a handle lacks compactness as compared with the form shown in FIG. The form shown is preferable.

Next, an example of the massage mechanism in which the storage body 1 is stored is shown in FIG. The massage mechanism shown in FIG. 8 includes arms 31 and 32, treatments 33 and 34 attached to the arm 31, and treatments 35 and 36 attached to the arm 32. Each of the treatment elements 33 to 36 projects from the back surface F2 (not shown in FIG. 8) side of the housing body 1 toward the contact surface F1 (not shown in FIG. 8). The treatment child 33 rotates about the rotation axis AX1, and the treatment child 35 rotates about the rotation axis AX2. Further, a period in which the distance between the treatment child 34 and the treatment child 36 decreases as the distance between the rotation axis AX1 and the rotation axis AX2 increases due to the reciprocating movement of the arms 31 and 32, and the distance between the rotation axis AX1 and the rotation axis AX2. As the distance between the treatment child 34 and the treatment child 36 increases, the period in which the distance between the treatment child 34 and the treatment child 36 increases alternates.

Further, a heater is provided inside the treatment elements 33 and 35 of the massage mechanism shown in FIG. 8, and the treatment elements 33 and 35 can be heated.

Finally, an example of using the massage machine 100 will be described.

In FIG. 12, the treated person H1 passes his / her left hand through the passing portion 11 and his / her right hand through the passing portion 12, and presses the contact surface F1 of the storage body 1 against the front side of the right thigh.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of use when treating the lower back. In FIG. 13, the storage body 1 is sandwiched between the waist of the patient H1 and the backrest portion of the chair C1, and the contact surface F1 of the storage body 1 is pressed against the waist.

Each of the usage examples shown in FIGS. 11 to 13 is other than the usage method in which the treated part and the treated part located on the back side of the body are treated by supporting the massage machine with both hands without turning both hands to the back side of the body. Corresponds to the usage of. In each of the usage examples shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, since the band-shaped body 2 is separated from the storage body 1, the band-shaped body 2 does not get in the way and is easy to use.

It should be considered that the embodiments are exemplary in all respects and are not restrictive, and the technical scope of the invention is indicated by the claims rather than the description of the embodiments. It should be understood that it includes all modifications that are equivalent to and within the scope of the claims.

For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the mark M1 may be removed from the storage body 1, and the marks M3 and M4 may be provided on the strip 2 instead of the mark M2. In this case, both side surfaces of the through portion 11 may be used as marks M5 and M6. By making the distance between the mark M3 and the mark M4 slightly shorter than the distance between the mark M5 and the mark M6, the position of the strip 2 with respect to the storage body 1 can be adjusted so that the marks M3 and M4 are hidden by the through portion 11. Just do it.
