Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The idea is to simply sit down on a chair or the like, place the feet on the massage rollers and move the feet back and forth, and the massage rollers will automatically slide and rotate to massage the entire soles. The present invention relates to a foot massager that is light and easy to handle.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Since ancient times, the sole of the foot is also called the second heart where the so-called "acupoints" corresponding to each part of the body are concentrated, and it can stimulate the sole to improve blood circulation and stimulate nerves to give vitality to each part of the body. The so-called “green bamboo tread”, in which green bamboo was split in half, or a cylindrical body that was integrally molded with resin instead and provided with a number of protrusions on the surface, was used. It is inconvenient for elderly people, physically handicapped people, busy people, workplaces, etc. A massager is disclosed. Among them, the following ideas can be mentioned relatively, but these still have the following difficulties in terms of handling, use, effectiveness, and cost. Was.

[0003] The "mass massager for sole of foot" of Utility Model Registration No. 30068757 and the "massage machine" of JP-A-9-206354 are both complicated in configuration, and the former is fixed to a shaft and a stick is attached. The latter is pivotally supported by a base, and both are difficult to handle.Also, the rollers are complicated but one, so the soles of the feet cannot be hung completely, and the position of the feet is constantly changed, and considerable It is necessary to rotate the roller while pressing the roller with force, and there are drawbacks that massaging the sole of the foot requires a considerable amount of time and patience, and requires a high production cost due to its configuration. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-63084 discloses a "massage device" in which one roller is pivotally supported on a base and cannot slide back and forth and left and right. It is necessary to rotate the roller while pressing the roller, and to massage the entire sole of the foot, it is necessary to rotate the roller while constantly changing the position of the foot, which has a disadvantage that it requires considerable time and patience. Further, the utility model registration No. 3018281 discloses a "foot sole massager" in which one roller is pivotally supported by a box body, and has the same drawbacks as in the above-mentioned JP-A-6-63084. Furthermore, the "foot sole massager" of Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-148787 consists of a ball and a ring having a thickness of less than half the diameter of the ball and an inner diameter of twice or more connected by a single thread. There, the foot is placed on the ball, stomping on the sole while stepping on the foot and rolling the ball.If the force is applied to the foot too much, the thread breaks during long use, and the ball jumps out of the ring. There is a risk that it is difficult to massage the sole of the foot sufficiently even by simply rotating a single ball. In addition, there are other types such as an electric type and a magnet type, but the construction is complicated and the cost is high.
