  FIG. 1: shows an example of the massage instrument 10 which concerns on embodiment of this invention, (A) is a front view, (B) is a side view. The massage device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a massage device for massaging the lower leg, and the support member 12 is mounted across the lower leg and presses the lower leg. The support member 12 of the massage device 10 is deformable, and is bent or bent when a force is applied in a direction in which both ends approach each other. In the example of the massage device 10 in FIG. 1, a support member 12 curved in an arc shape is shown, and each member is provided inside and outside the support member 12. As another example of the massage device 10, a bent support member (not shown) may be used instead of the curved support member 12, and the same effect can be obtained by replacing the curved support member 12 with a bent support member. Is obtained. The deformable bent support member will be collectively described as a curved support member 12 whose description is omitted or deformable.

  In addition to the deformable support member 12, the massage device 10 is arranged at a position where the handle member 14 provided at both ends of the support member 12 and the inside of the support member 12 press the lower leg. And a protrusion 16. The handle member 14 is provided outside the support member 12, and the provided handle members are 14 A and 14 B, and the distance between the handle members 14 A and 14 B and the distance of the opening of the support member 12 is d. The massage device 10 shown in FIG. 1A has a shape before the deformable support member 12 is deformed. Holding the handle member 14 by hand, the protrusion 16 is provided in the vicinity of the handle member 14, and the lower leg is placed inside the support member 12 in a state where the distance d is widened or left as it is, and the distance d is reduced. Thus, the lower leg can be pressed by the protrusion 16.

  In addition, by using a member formed by bending or bending the support member 12, when the handle member 14 is held by hand and the support member 12 is deformed in a state where the distance d is widened, the shape before the deformation is restored. A force works naturally in the direction of reducing the distance d. For this reason, in order to make the distance d wide, it is necessary to apply a force to hold the handle members 14A and 14B and keep the distance d wide. Further, after the distance d is increased and the shape of the support member 12 is deformed and attached to the crus, if the crus can be pressed by applying an elastic force, it can be pressed with a smaller force. Here, the elastic force is an elastic force that the deformed support member 12 returns to its original shape, or an elastic member such as a spring is provided on the support member 12, and the support member 12 is elastic. It is the force which goes to the direction which presses a lower leg part by a member. Further, the support member 12 is preferably made of an elastically deformable material, and is preferably formed using plastic or the like as an example.

  FIG. 2 is a side view of the lower leg, and is a side view of the right leg as seen from the tibia side. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line YY in FIG. 2, and is a cross-sectional view of the right leg calf portion as seen from the upper body side toward the lower body side, and shows the tibia 18 and the rib 20. The upward direction on the paper surface of FIG. 3 is the toe direction. Further, FIG. 3 shows a massage device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which the support member 12 is deformed by holding the handle member 14. The back side of the tibia 18 in the lower leg is a portion surrounded by a dotted frame and indicated by oblique lines, and this portion is indicated by X. It is preferable that the protrusion 16 is disposed on the support member 12 and is provided at a position where the back side X of the tibia 18 in the lower leg can be pressed. When massaging the lower leg, as shown in FIG. 3A, the gripping members 14 provided at both ends of the support member 12 are held, the distance d is lengthened, and the tip of the projection 16 is the tibia 18. The support member 12 is deformed so as to hit the skin in the vicinity of the back side X. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3B, the support member 12 is deformed so that the distance d is shortened while holding the handle member 14 and the tip of the protrusion 16 is pressed toward the back side X of the tibia 18. Accordingly, the lower leg can be massaged with a slight human force, and the back side X of the tibia 18 of the lower leg, which is extremely effective for health promotion, can be pressed. The massage device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention can be used for the left leg as a matter of course.

It comes to a position that touches the surface. When the both ends of the support member 12 are pressed in the approaching direction and the distance d is shortened, the tip of the protrusion 16 comes into contact with the surface of the crus at the tibia 18 side, and the pressing portion 22 is the rib 20. The lower leg is sandwiched by the support member 12. Further, when the both ends of the support member 12 are pressed in the approaching direction and the distance d is shortened as shown in FIG. 3B, the protrusion 16 moves in the arcuate arrow direction indicated by the dotted line and moves into the lower leg. And enter. At this time, the movement of the protruding portion 16 is a movement that enters in an arc shape toward the back side of the tibia 18, and is “squeezed up” or “moved” and pressed against the back side X of the tibia 18. can do.

  In order for the back side X of the tibia 18 to be pressed, the protrusion 16 of the massage device 10 must enter from the calf side, not from the shin side. In order to use a general massage device to press with a protrusion from the side of the calf only with the force of a person, the movements such as the unnatural posture and the range in which the arm can be moved from the structural point of the body Must be pressed from the calf side. For this reason, just giving a massage will cause pain in the shoulders, arms, and neck. However, in the massage device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the protrusion 16 provided on the support member 12 naturally moves in an arc shape toward the back side of the tibia 18, so that it is easy without applying a large force. You can massage the lower leg.
