Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an electric massage tool for massaging the body when taking a bath.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, it is well known that massage is very effective when taking a bath. For this reason, various tools have been proposed as tools that can be used for massage while washing the body.

For example, on the bottom of the soap box, there is a through hole for the soap solution to flow out, and a rubber massage protrusion is provided, and you can hold the soap box in your hand and rub your body with the massage massager. The ingredients are known (Jitsuko Sho 6-
No. 3387, Jikken 1-23459).

Further, as an electric massage tool, there is also known one in which a rotary brush is rotated by a motor to perform massage (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-177835).

[Problems to be solved by the device]

The problem is that it is easy to damage the skin when using this type of massage tool.

Stimulation of the skin during massage stimulates subcutaneous blood flow and stimulates metabolism. It is well known that this has a great effect on slimming cosmetics because the subcutaneous fat is burned.

However, if the skin is stimulated too much, the skin is rather damaged or discomfort is given.

Therefore, the above-mentioned conventional example (Jitsuko Sho 3-3387, Jijō 1-23)
No. 459), the solid soap is soaked in hot water inside the soap box before the massage, and while the solid soap is melted by the hot water, the soap solution is allowed to flow out between the massage protrusion and the skin for massage. Trying to protect against excessive irritation from protrusions.

However, in reality, the hot and cold water contained in the soap box immediately flows out through the through hole. Further, since the solid soap does not dissolve easily in a short time, most of the water flowing out from the through hole is hot water. Further, since the solid soap becomes smaller and lighter as it is used, the soap does not rock even in the soap box due to the vibration during the massage, and it becomes difficult to dissolve it in hot and cold water. Therefore, a sufficient lubricating effect of the soap solution cannot be expected, and the skin may be red and swelled after the massage, and in severe cases, a severe pain may be accompanied.

Also, because it is a manual type, you will get tired in a short time,
It is not possible to obtain the desired slimming effect.

In this respect, the electric massage tool of the latter conventional example is less likely to cause fatigue, but is still likely to strongly stimulate the skin. If it is a massage material, such as a rotating brush in this conventional example, even if you apply soap liquid to lubricate the surface of these, or rub the soap directly, it will be immediately scattered by the rotating force of the rotating brush. Since the soap content is directly rubbed into the skin, the soap content immediately disappears, and it becomes necessary to apply soap solution frequently, which is very complicated and has a drawback that the lubricating effect is low.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an electric massage tool that can perform massage for a long time without damaging the skin without requiring troublesome labor. To aim.

[Means for solving the problem]

In the electric massager of the present invention, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, a main body case 1 having a built-in motor 7 and a drive shaft 6 projecting from a bottom wall 4 of the main body case 1 and driven by the motor 7. It is assumed that the rotary massage plate 5 is detachably connected to the drive shaft 6.

Then, a plurality of bubble outflow holes 29 are formed vertically through the rotary massage plate 5, and a plurality of massage projections 25 are formed on the lower surface side of the rotary massage plate 5. A foaming means 26 is provided between the bottom wall 4 of the main body case 1 and the rotary massage plate 5 facing the bottom wall 4. The foaming means 26 comprises an elastic soap solution impregnated body 27 and a foaming projection 28 rubbed against the soap solution impregnated body 27, one of which is on the inner surface side of the rotary massage plate 5 and the other is on the outer surface side of the bottom wall 4. Are provided in each.

[Action]

When using this massage tool, the rotary massage plate 5 is first removed from the drive shaft 6, and then the soap solution impregnated body 27 is impregnated with soap solution. Then, after the rotary massage plate 5 is coupled to the drive shaft 6, the rotary massage plate 5 is rotationally driven to press the massage protrusion 25 against the abdomen or the like for massage. At this time, the soap solution impregnated body 27 is rubbed by the whipping projections 28 to repeat partial compressive deformation and spreading / restoring action, whereby the soap solution in the soap solution impregnated body 27 is bubbled with air. The bubbles in this soap solution are
It flows out from 29 to the lower surface side of the rotary massage plate 5, and serves to sufficiently lubricate between the massage protrusion 25 and the skin.

[Effect of device]

According to the massage tool of the present invention, the soap solution in the impregnated body 27 is automatically whipped out and used by rubbing the whipping projections 28 against the soap solution impregnated body 27, so that the soap solution remains as it is. Compared with the conventional example used, the lubricating effect can be maintained for a long time with a small amount. Therefore, even if massage is performed for a long time, there is no possibility that the lubricating action will be interrupted and the skin will be damaged unlike the conventional example, and it will be resolved from the complexity of having to replenish the soap solution again. It is easy to use.

Moreover, since the whipping projection 28 is rubbed against the soap solution impregnated body 27 by utilizing the rotation of the rotary massage plate 5, the power system can be simplified accordingly.

Furthermore, by removing the rotary massage plate 5 from the drive shaft 6, the soap solution and bubbles adhering to the rotary massage plate 5 and the soap solution impregnated body 27 after the massage can be washed off well, which is advantageous in hygiene management. .

〔Example〕

An embodiment of an electric massage tool according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2, the main body case 1 is formed by stacking a plastic dome-shaped upper case 1a, a disc-shaped middle case 1b, and a bowl-shaped lower case 1c. And the overlapping state of these three is the lower case
It is held by inserting the connecting screw 2 from the lower side of 1c into the lower and middle cases 1c and 1b, screwing it into the upper case 1a and tightening. The upper, middle, and lower cases 1a, 1b, 1c can be separated from each other by pulling out the connecting screw 2. The upper case 1a is integrally provided with a handle 3 for facilitating holding the entire body case 1 in the hand.

In the center of the bottom wall 4 of the lower case 1c, a rotating massage plate 5
A drive shaft 6 of a slotted type that is detachably coupled to the drive shaft 6 projects downward.

A motor 7 and a battery 8 are provided between the upper case 1a and the middle case 1b.
An upper storage space 9 for storing items such as
A lower housing space 11 for housing the drive transmission means 10 for transmitting the rotation of the motor 7 to the drive shaft 6 is formed between the 1b and the lower case 1c. Since the motor 7 and the battery 8 in the upper storage space 9 are required to be particularly waterproof, the upper case
A waterproof packing 12 is interposed between the overlapping surfaces of 1a and the middle case 1b. An on / off switch 13 for the motor 7 and a switch button 14 for operating the same are provided on the upper case 1a.

Both the motor 7 and the drive transmission means 10 are integrally provided in the middle case 1b, that is, the motor 7 is the middle case.
The drive transmission means 10 is fixed to the upper surface side of 1b, and is mounted on the lower surface side of the middle case 1b. Therefore, even when the upper case 1a, the middle case 1b, and the lower case 1c are separated when the battery 8 is replaced, the motor 7 and the drive transmission means 10 do not come apart.

Regarding the drive transmission means 10, the motor 7 has a gear 16 fixed on the output shaft 15, the output gear 16 is projected from the middle case 1b into the lower storage space 11, and the drive gear 17 integrated with the drive shaft 6 is the middle case 1b. Is rotatably fitted to a drive gear shaft 18 protruding from the center of the lower surface of the. The connecting gear 19 that connects the output gear 16 and the drive gear 17 has a large diameter gear 19a that meshes with the output gear 16 and a small diameter gear 19b that meshes with the internal gear 17a of the drive gear 17. It is also a middle case 1b
Is attached to the lower surface of the so as to be rotatable around the connecting gear shaft 20.

As shown in FIG. 3, the rotary massage plate 5 is a wheel-shaped plastic molded product, and has a boss 21 that can be freely inserted into and removed from the drive shaft 6 and an arm that has a ring peripheral portion 22 and can be radially bent.
It is formed into a shape that is connected by 23. And round rubber plate 24
A massage projection 25 is integrally formed on the lower surface of the rotary massage plate 5, and the rubber plate 24 is fixed to the lower surface of the rotary massage plate 5 by integrally sticking the same.

Foaming means 26 is provided between the rotary massage plate 5 and the bottom wall 4 of the main body case 1. The whipping means 26 is made of a donut-shaped sponge and has an elastic soap solution impregnating body 27.
Is superposed on the lower surface side of the bottom wall 4, and a plurality of whipping projections 28 are integrally projected from the inner surface of the arm 23 of the rotary massage plate 5, and the whipping projections 28 are soaped as the rotary massage board 5 rotates. By rubbing the lower surface of the liquid impregnated body 27, the soap liquid in the impregnated body 27 is bubbled.

The soap solution impregnated body 27 may be attached to the lower surface side of the bottom wall 4, but in reality, the soap solution impregnated body 27 is provided with a plurality of holes 31 to form the bottom wall 4.
A protrusion 32 corresponding to the hole 31 is provided on the lower surface side of the
By fitting 31 and 32 so that they can be inserted and removed freely, the soap solution impregnated body 27 is provided so as not to be displaced with respect to the bottom wall 4 and detachable. When the soap solution impregnated body 27 is detachably attached to the bottom wall 4, it is easy to remove the soap solution impregnated body 27 from the bottom wall 4 and wash it by itself, or it can be replaced with a new one.

As described above, the rubber plate 24 of the rotary massage plate 5 is provided with a bubble outflow hole 29 for allowing bubbles to be generated between the rotary massage plate 5 and the bottom wall 4 to flow out to the lower surface side of the rotary massage plate 5. To be done. In this foam outflow hole 29, foam is rotating and massage plate 5 is rotated.
It is provided at a predetermined pitch so as to uniformly flow out to the entire lower surface of the foam. In this case, the foam outflow holes 29 are provided so as to match the through holes 30 between the adjacent arms 23 and 23, and when the foam outflows, the arms 23
Does not become an obstacle.

When massaging, the soap solution impregnation body 27 is impregnated with soap solution, and then the rotary massage plate 5 is connected to the drive shaft 6. By this connection, the tip of the whipping projection 28 presses against the lower surface of the soap solution impregnated body 27.

Thus, when the rotary massage plate 5 is rotated, the tips of the whipping projections 28 rotate in sliding contact while pressing the lower surface of the soap solution impregnated body 27. As a result, the soap liquid in the soap liquid impregnated body 27 contains air and becomes bubbles.

The bubbles flow out to the lower surface side of the rotary massage plate 5 through the bubble outflow holes 29, and perform a lubricating action when the massage projections 25 are applied to the skin for massage.

Since the soap liquid contained in the soap liquid impregnated body 27 is consumed in the form of foam, the usage amount thereof is much smaller than that in the case where the soap liquid is directly used as the lubricating liquid. It is not necessary to replenish the soap solution until the massage is completed, because the bubbles continue to be generated for a long time only by including the soap solution once.

The rotary massage plate 5 has a moderate elasticity as a whole, as shown in FIG. 1, formed in a gentle bowl shape in which the central portion thereof is slightly raised downward. Therefore, when the massage projection 25 is pressed against the skin, the rotary massage plate 5 is slightly bent, and the whipping projection 28 is rubbed against the soap solution impregnated body 27 more strongly, so that more massage is performed during massage. Bubbles are easily generated.
