However, in the invention of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the material of the flexible cylindrical body is a towel cloth, etc., and the whole is formed in a bath towel shape, and is used as a bath towel that can be used for washing between fingers or massage as needed. In addition, the accent member enclosed in the required portion of the flexible cylindrical body is also made of a sponge or the like so that a gentle stimulation with a gentle touch between the toes is given. Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to wash between toes, and the massage is considered to aim at a secondary effect.
Further, the invention of the above-mentioned Patent Document 2 also has a problem to solve the washing of the back side of the toes, which has not been sufficiently washed, and the main purpose is the same as in Patent Document 1, and the massage is a secondary. It is thought that it aimed at a special effect.
In addition, since towel material is used in each case, it is necessary to pay attention to the insertion because there is a possibility that the pile of the towel material may be caught on the nails when each instrument is inserted between the toes.
The present invention promotes blood flow between the toes by massaging the toes, and keeps the toes clean by washing between the toes, reducing the cooling of the feet and preventing athlete's foot A toe massager that is a health device that can be expected and has a stretchable string-like body inserted between the toes so that the string-like body can be easily inserted between the toes Is to provide.

In view of the above, the present inventor has solved the above problems by the following means as a result of intensive experimental research.
(1) A massage tool for massaging between toes, and four long string-like bodies made of a stretchable material and four string-like bodies are stretched in parallel. A toe-to-toe toe massage tool comprising a pair of handles fixed to the front part and the rear part of the four string-like bodies for sliding the string-like body between toes.
(2) The stretchable string-like body is characterized in that a plurality of spherical massage balls connected by a stretchable string are housed inside a long outer cylinder having stretchability. The toe massage device as described in (1) above.
(3) An elastic body such as rubber or silicon rubber, or a rubber-strand-like material obtained by braiding fibers of the elastic body and cotton yarn, wherein the elastic string-like body or outer cylinder is the elastic body such as rubber or silicon rubber The toe massage device as described in (1) or (2) above, which is formed by
(4) A gauze-like cotton cloth is attached to the outer periphery of the elastic outer cylinder so as to softly contact the skin between the toes, as described in (2) or (3) above Massager between toes.
(5) The massage device between toes according to any one of (2) to (4), wherein the massage ball is made of a material having an appropriate hardness such as hard rubber.
(6) Of the four string-like members stretched between a pair of handles, the outer two are formed thicker than the inner two, (1) to (5) above The toe massage device according to any one of the above.

(A) Since the four toe massaging devices of the present invention are stretched in parallel between a pair of handles disposed at both ends, After each string-like body is brought into contact with the tip of the four toes, the handle can be easily and simultaneously inserted between the toes by pulling the handle toward you. . In addition, even if the string-like body is inserted between the toes that are not linearly arranged horizontally, the string-like body has elasticity, so that the outer periphery of the string-like body is placed between the toes by adjusting the position of the handle. Can be in soft contact with the skin.
Furthermore, even when the four string-like bodies are moved up and down by the handle to perform massage between toes, the stretchability of the string-like body acts to prevent any movement of the handle in any direction. The string-like body moves to fit between the toes, enabling an effective massage.
(A) Since the plurality of massage balls housed inside the outer cylinder have an appropriate hardness, the friction effect between the toes can be enhanced via the outer cylinder. Further, since the massage balls are connected by a stretchable string, the stretchable string and the outer cylinder expand and contract with each other, so that a better massage effect can be obtained.
(C) Since the outer sleeve is covered with a gauze-like cotton cloth, it softly touches between the toes, weakens the friction when the string-like body slides, and between the toes. It is possible to effectively adsorb detergent when washing. Moreover, the washable string-like body can be kept even cleaner by exchanging the gauze-like cotton cloth.
(D) Because of the effects (a) to (c) above, massage and cleaning between toes can be performed easily and effectively, so that blood flow between the toes and the vicinity can be promoted, and the toes are clean. It can be expected to reduce cold feet and prevent athlete's foot.

The best mode for carrying out the toe massage device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings of the embodiments.
FIG. 1 is an external view of an embodiment of a toe massage device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of a string-shaped body, FIG. 3 is a structural diagram of attaching the string-shaped body to a handle, and FIG. It is explanatory drawing of the usage method of a toe massage tool.
In the figure, 1 is a handle, 2 is a string-like body, 3 is an outer cylinder, 3a is a folded portion of the outer cylinder, 4 is a gauze-like cotton cloth, 5 is a massage ball, 6 is a string having elasticity, 7 Is an insertion hole, 8 is a string end fastener, 9 is a string end sticker, 10 is a toe portion, 11 is a thumb, 12 is an index finger, 13 is a middle finger, 14 is a ring finger, 15 is a little finger, and 20 Indicates the direction of movement of the toe massage device.

As shown in the front view of FIG. 1A, the toe-to-finger massage device of the present invention has four stretchable string-like bodies 2 in parallel between a pair of elliptical ring-shaped handles 1. It is stretched.
And each string-like body 2 was connected by the string 6 which has elasticity in the inside of the long outer cylinder 3 which has elasticity, as shown to BB 'sectional drawing of FIG.2 (b). A plurality of spherical massage balls 5 are accommodated, and a gauze-like cotton cloth 4 is covered on the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 3.
The outer cylinder 3 is formed of an elastic tube such as rubber or silicon rubber, or a rubber string-like material made by braiding fibers of these elastic bodies and cotton yarn, and is connected to the massage ball 5. The string-like body 2 is given stretchability in combination with the string 6 having the property.

The stretchability of the string-like body 2 is useful when the four string-like bodies 2 that are stretched are sandwiched between the corresponding four toes. That is, after the four string-like bodies are brought into contact with the tips of the four toes, the handle 1 is pulled toward the front, so that the stress associated with the stretchability of the string-like body acts. The four string-like bodies 2 can be easily and simultaneously inserted between the four toes. Even if the string-like body 2 is inserted between the toes that are not linearly arranged horizontally, the string-like body 2 has elasticity, so that the outer periphery of the string-like body 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the handle 1. It can be made to come into contact with the skin between each toe so as to be easily adapted.
Furthermore, when the handle 1 moves the four string-like bodies 2 up and down to perform massage between toes, the stretchability of the string-like body 2 acts so that the handle 1 can be moved in any direction. Even with movement, the string-like body 2 moves in conformity with the toes, enabling an effective massage.
It is to be noted that an elastic body such as rubber or silicon rubber constituting the string-like body 2 or an elastic body tube, or an outer circumference of a rubber cord-like outer cylinder 3 formed by braiding fibers of these elastic bodies and cotton yarn, is used for massage. In order to soften the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 3 against the skin between the toes and soften the friction given to the skin, and to improve the adsorption of the detergent during washing between the toes, a gauze-like cotton cloth 4 is provided. It is preferable to do. It is also preferable that the gauze-like cotton cloth be exchangeable.

  The plurality of massage balls 5 housed in the outer cylinder 3 and connected by elastic strings 6 are made of a material having an appropriate hardness, for example, hard rubber, and the outer cylinder 3 is The friction effect between the toes is increased. Furthermore, since the massage ball 5 is connected by the string 6 having elasticity, the string 6 having elasticity and the outer cylinder 3 expand and contract with each other and fit between the toes, thereby obtaining a better massage effect.

In addition, the index finger 12, middle finger 13, ring finger 14 and the string-like body 2 to be massaged by being sandwiched between two of the four string-like bodies 2 stretched on the pair of handles 1 and the string-like body 2 are either one side. The distance between each finger differs between the thumb 11 and the little finger 15 that touch only the finger pad. The distance between the index finger 12 and the middle finger 13 pressed by the string 2 from both sides and the distance between the middle finger 13 and the ring finger 14 are relatively small, but the thumb 11 and the little finger 15 which are free on one side are the fingertips. Since the gap between the thumb 11 and the index finger 12 and between the ring finger 14 and the little finger 15 is likely to change and tends to be relatively wide, the massage effect may be weakened. There is.
Therefore, by making the outer two of the four string-like bodies 2 stretched between a pair of handles 1 thicker than the inner two, the ring finger 14 and the index finger 12 It is also preferable to provide a massage effect similar to that between the other fingers between the little fingers 15.

Next, a structure for attaching the string-like body 2 to the handle 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, an insertion hole 7 through which the string-like body 2 is inserted is drilled in the lower part of the handle 1, and after the string-like body 2 is inserted into the insertion hole 7, the string-like body 2 is inserted. The outer cylinder 3 is folded back outwardly in a hook shape to form a folded portion 3a of the outer cylinder, and the folded portion 3a of the outer cylinder is pressed into contact with the lower inner surface of the handle 1 with a string end fastener 8. Further, it is fixed with a string end fixing agent 9.
Further, the end of the elastic string 7 connected to the massage ball 5 is bent in the string insertion hole formed in the center of the string end fastener 8, and the upper surface thereof is fixed by the string end fixing agent 9. Yes. The cord end fixing agent 9 may be an adhesive.

Although the above was demonstrated by the Example shown in FIGS. 1-3, this invention is not restricted to the shape and structure shown in this Example, It was connected with the string 6 which has a stretching property in the inside. Any stretchable string-like body 2 provided with a plurality of massage balls 5 may be used as long as it is stretched between a pair of handles. For example, in the embodiment, the handle is an elliptical ring, but it may be a circular ring or a rectangular ring. In short, this inter-toe toe massage tool is inserted between toes and moved up and down to massage between toes. It is sufficient that the handle 1 has a shape that can be easily removed.
In addition, the structure in which the four string-like bodies 2 having elasticity are attached to the handle 1 is also limited to being attached adjacent to the handle 1 without a gap as shown in FIGS. Rather, depending on the shape of the handle 1, the four string-like bodies 2 may be attached with intervals between the toes, and the four string-like bodies 2 may be stretched in parallel. Good.
As a result of the experiment, the preferable size of the toe massage device of the present invention is about 30 cm in total length (the length between the ends of the pair of handles 1), and the string-like body is 8 to 8 mm thick. It was 10mm

Next, how to use the toe massage device of the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, four string-like bodies 2 are inserted one by one between the toes at four locations. As described above, since the string-like body 2 is stretchable, it can be easily inserted, and can be easily adapted to the toes that are not linearly arranged sideways.
Further, since the string-like body 2 has an appropriate hardness due to the massage ball 5 accommodated in the outer cylinder 3, the string-like body 2 is moved up and down as shown in the moving direction 20 in the drawing, for example, while gently pulling the handles 1 at both ends. Since the user can feel the feeling of pressing and friction changing with the crotch between each toe and the moving speed with the skin between his toes, it is optimal for the user It can be adjusted to massage conditions, and a more effective massage effect can be obtained. In addition, the position between the toes can be selected by moving back and forth and from side to side.
In this way, massage and washing between the four toes can be performed at the same time, so that the blood flow between the toes and its vicinity is improved, and the gap between the toes is kept clean. Can be expected.
Furthermore, since the material of the string-like body 2 can be washed and can be easily drained and dried quickly, it can always be kept clean.
