DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air mat applied to an air massager.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIGS. 10 and 11 show a conventional example. In other words, this air mat is formed by arranging a plurality of air bags 50 that can be independently expanded and contracted by the supply and discharge of air in parallel, and is controlled by a pump device 52 through hoses 51 connected to each air bag 50. The compressed air is supplied, and the body 54 is massaged, for example, by sequentially inflating the air bag 50. 53 is a cover.

FIG. 11 shows a state of use, in which the back of the body 55 is put on the air mat 55 and massaged.

[0004]

However, this air mat has a drawback that the feeling of massage is determined by the size of the air bag 50, the type of operation is small, and the massage effect is low. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an air mat that can increase the types of motions and enhance the massage effect.

[0005]

According to the air mat of the present invention, adjacent air bags interfere with each other due to supply and discharge of air.
A plurality of first that can expand and contract independently in the state which are not to
The air bags are arranged in parallel, to adjacent the air supply and discharge
Inflated independently without interfering with each other.
It is a plurality second air bag which can shrink that superimposed on the first air bag so as to be perpendicular to the first air bag.

[0006]

According to the structure of the present invention, the first air bag or the second air bag is inflated and contracted,
Since the operation in conjunction with the first individual operation and mutual air bag and second air bag can be obtained, the prior art compared to operation type is increased and can be obtained a variety of massage effects, yet adjacent Air bags do not interfere with each other
Inflates and contracts independently with each air bag adjacent to the air
Since the operation can be performed without being affected by the bag, the massage effect can be enhanced.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An air massage device to which the first embodiment of the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. That is, this air mat is made up of a plurality of first air bags 1.
And a plurality of second air bags 2. The first air bags 1 can be independently expanded and contracted by supplying and discharging air, and are arranged in parallel.

The second air bag 2 can be inflated and contracted independently by supplying and discharging air, and is superposed on the first air bag 1 so as to be orthogonal to the first air bag 1. Also each figure
As can be seen from FIG.
The adjacent air bags are independent without interfering with each other.
It is arranged so that it can expand and contract. Multiple second
The same applies to the air bag 2. 3 and 4 are the first air bags 1
And a hose 5 having one end connected to the second air bag 2 and a pump device 5 for connecting the other ends of the hoses 3 and 4 to send compressed air to the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2. Yes, and incorporates control means (not shown).

FIG. 2 shows an operating state. That is, FIG. 1A shows the first air bag 1 with the second air bag 2 turned down.
In this state, the first air bag 1 at one end is inflated with the back of the body 6 placed on the first air bag. FIG. 2B shows a state where the first air bag 1 adjacent thereto is inflated, FIG. 2C shows a state where the first air bag 1 next thereto is further expanded, and FIG. This is a state in which the first air bag 1 on the other end side adjacent thereto is inflated, and massage is performed by sequentially repeating this series of operations.

FIG. 3 shows the operation of FIG. 2 in which the entire second air bag 2 is inflated. Thereby, the body 6 can be given a stronger massage than the massage of FIG. 2, and various massage feelings can be obtained. In particular, by providing this air mat at the waist portion, an effect of lifting the waist portion and extending the waist can be obtained, which is very pleasant. Further, the second air bag 2 is controlled to
By alternately repeating the state shown in the figure, a different massage stimulus can be given.

FIG. 4 shows a group of about half of the second air bags 2 bordering on the center, which are alternately inflated and contracted. FIG. 4A shows the entire second air bags 2 contracted. FIG. 4B shows a state where one of the groups of the second air bags 2 (left side in the figure) is inflated, and FIG. 4C shows a state where the entire second air bags 2 are contracted. d) is a state in which the other (right side in the figure) of the group of the second air bags 2 is inflated. In this operation, since the position for supporting the weight of the body 6 changes, the first air bag 1
The feeling of massage changes due to the movement of, and a strong massage effect is produced by the weight particularly in the lower part in the left and right movement, and the massage force applied to the left and right of the body 6 changes, so that various massage feelings can be obtained.

According to this embodiment, the first air bag 1 or the second air bag 2 is inflated and deflated to operate the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 individually. Since the movements linked to each other can be obtained, the types of movements can be increased as compared with the conventional example, and various massage effects can be obtained , and adjacent air bags interfere with each other.
Inflated and deflated independently with no air bag
Since the operation can be performed without being affected by the air bag, the massage effect can be enhanced.

If the second air bag 2 and the first air bag 1 are in the same direction, the air bag can easily fall down by lift-up, whereas the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 1 Lifting up can be stabilized by making the bags 2 orthogonal. A second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. That is, this air mat is
In this embodiment, a pair of second air bags 2 are provided at both ends of the first air bag 1. Second
The interval between the air bags 2 varies depending on the size of the bags, but is preferably about 150 mm to 450 mm, and the waist width of the user is good.

FIG. 6 shows an operation state, in which the same operation as in FIG. 2 is performed. FIG. 7 shows a state in which the second air bag 2 is inflated, and massage on both sides of the body 6 can be performed, for example, massage on both sides of the body 6 can be performed. In particular, when the second air bag 2 is applied to the waist portion, both sides of the waist can be massaged and stretched at the same time. Further, similarly to the first embodiment, the second air bag 2 is controlled so that the operations shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 are alternately performed, or the second air bag 2 is moved as shown in FIG. Can be done.

FIGS. 8 and 9 show a third embodiment of the present invention. That is, in the air mat, in the first embodiment, the plurality of second air bags 2a to 2e are large at both ends in the arrangement direction, and are gradually reduced toward the center. That is, the second air bags 2a and 2e are large, the second air bags 2b and 2d are next large,
Air bag 2c is the smallest.

FIG. 9 shows a state of use. When the second air bag 2 is inflated, both sides of the body 6 are high and the center portion is low, so that both sides of the body 6 are similar to the second embodiment. The side massage can be performed, the weight can be supported at the center and both sides of the body 6, and the shape conforms to the shape of the body 6, so that the use feeling is good and the lift can be stably performed. Further, similarly to the first embodiment, the entire second air bag 2 may be inflated and contracted, or the second air bag 2 may be individually inflated and contracted.

[0017]

The air mat of the present invention has a plurality of first mats.
Are arranged in parallel, and a plurality of second air bags are stacked on the first air bag so as to be orthogonal to the first air bag. Therefore, the first air bag or the second air bag is inflated. -By performing the contracting operation, the individual operation of the first air bag and the second air bag and the operation interlocked with each other can be obtained, so that the operation types are increased as compared with the conventional example, and various massage effects can be obtained. Can be obtained and adjacent air
-Inflates and shrinks independently without the bags interfering with each other
Each air bag is not affected by adjacent air bags.
It is possible to enhance the massage effect because it can work well.
