Description

  The present invention relates to a manual massage device that can perform a powerful massage with one hand even for a weak person who cannot exert a strong force such as an elderly person.

  Various types of manual massage devices of this type have been conventionally devised. One of them is a portable acupressure device described in Patent Document 1. In this prior art, a rotating roller is provided at the bottom of a handle that is long enough to be stored in a pocket or bag, and a rounded pressing portion is provided at the top of the handle. In this way, the user grips the upper part of the handle, applies the downward rotation force while applying the lower rotating roller to the acupuncture points of the limbs, and applies stimulation to massage. Moreover, it applies a downward force with a hand that holds the upper part of the handle while applying the pressing part to the acupuncture point and acupressures while pressing.

Moreover, according to the massage device of patent document 2, a handle and a base plate are connected by an elongate curved handle, and the shoulder of the affected part is hit by a massage roller attached to the base plate, and acupressure and massage are performed. At this time, the handle is gripped with a hand and the massage roller is struck or pressed above the affected area, and the handle is used while reciprocating.

  However, the portable acupressure device described in Patent Document 1 is used by holding the upper portion of the handle by hand and moving the lower rotary roller against the acupuncture point and moving it back and forth while applying a pressing force to the acupuncture point. Therefore, the force of the user's hand transmitted to the rotating roller is applied to the hand as the transmission moment of the force from the position of the hand hitting the upper part of the handle to the lower position where the rotating roller is attached is impaired. There is a problem that power must be applied to that amount. Similarly, in the massage device of Patent Document 2, since the elongated curved handle is interposed between the massage roller and the handle, the force applied to the handle is not easily transmitted to the massage roller, resulting in a loss of force. There is. In particular, when the user is an elderly person with weak power, the loss of power results in feeling tiredness quickly, and there is a problem that a feeling that it is difficult to use is given.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the means thereof is as claimed in claim 1, wherein a rotating piece that rotates below one end of a rod-like hand grip handle is provided, and the hand grip An inclined surface that has an arc surface formed in an arc shape in the front-rear direction of the upper corner of the end portion on one end side of the handle, and is inclined toward the center of the end portion of the handle on at least the upper surface on the other end side of the hand grip handle It is in the place where it was set as the massage device which has.

Further, the length of the hand grip pattern is that it is the length from the tip of the index finger to the base of the palm.

Furthermore, the thickness of the hand grip handle around the outer periphery is such that the handle can be gripped.

The rotary piece is made of a synthetic resin.

According to the massage device of the present invention constructed as described above, a rotating piece is provided below one end side of the hand grip handle, and an arc surface is formed in the front-rear direction of the upper corner of the upper end portion thereof. Since the tip of the index finger can be pressed against the arc surface when holding the handle with your hand, even with a small force applied to the index finger, it remains on the rotating top below it. Since the pressing force acts from above, you can massage with a strong stimulus. Further, since the palm is placed on the hand grip handle when gripped, the weight of the hand or arm is also applied to the hand grip handle, and a stronger force from above acts on the rotary piece. Therefore, even when elderly people cannot massage with a strong force, they can be massaged easily and efficiently. In particular, the thickness around the outer periphery of the hand grip pattern is easier to use when the hand grip is thick enough to increase the effect. Further, if the rotating piece is made of synthetic resin, there is an advantage that its hardness, shape, etc. can be easily changed.

Furthermore, since the tip of the index finger hangs on the arc surface of the upper corner, it is easy to apply a force in the pulling direction especially when moving the massage device back and forth while applying pressure while placing it on the point or affected part It's easy. At this time, since the tip of the finger hits the arc surface, the applied force is dispersed and no pain occurs. Furthermore, since at least the upper surface on the other end side of the hand grip has an inclined surface inclined toward the center of the end of the handle, the base of the hand is attached to the inclined surface when the hand grip is gripped. Since the palm of the part is placed, when the massage device is pushed forward, the palm is caught on this inclined surface, so that it can be pushed efficiently even with a small force. In particular, when the length of the hand grip handle is the length from the tip of the index finger to the base of the palm, this effect becomes even greater.

In this way, the massage device of this device is easy to massage with the help of one person and with one hand, with little force, regardless of whether the pressure points are applied to the acupuncture points or the affected part of the massage, or when moving back and forth. Therefore, there is an advantage that it can be used particularly effectively for a user who does not have a great force such as an elderly person.

Overall perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention Front view of FIG. Rear view of FIG. Explanatory drawing of the state of use on the skin surface of acupoints and affected areas such as arms and legs of this device Illustration of the state of use on the sole of this device

The best embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the massage device 1 of the present invention is mainly composed of a hand grip handle 2 and a rotating piece 3 provided below one end side of the hand grip handle 2, and the hand grip handle with one hand. This is a device that massages by moving back and forth while grasping 2 and pressing the rotary piece 3 applied above the acupoint and the affected part.

  The hand-grip handle 2 is a rod-shaped one that is thick enough to be grasped by a hand, and its length is made substantially equal to the length from the fingertip of the index finger to the wrist that is the boundary between the palm and the arm. And it is desirable that the corners of the outer periphery are rounded and the thickness of the corners can be grasped. Of course, this length and thickness vary depending on the physique, so the average person is the standard for mass production, but in the case of custom-made, it is made to fit the size of the user's palm. Also good. The material is made of natural materials such as wood or synthetic resin molded products, but is not particularly limited. An arcuate surface 4 that is arcuate in the front-rear direction is formed at the upper corner of the end on one end side where the rotary piece 3 is provided, and at least the upper surface on the other end side of the hand grip handle 2 is formed. Forms an inclined surface 5 inclined toward the center of the end of the hand grip 2. The inclined surface 5 is easy to manufacture if the other end side is tapered so that the other end side is tapered, and the periphery of the other end side has an inclined surface toward the center. The overall volume is reduced, making it convenient for storage and carrying. Furthermore, if a rounded tip is formed, it can be used as a press-type massage device. This roundness may be made of magnetic spherical steel. When the inside is made of a synthetic resin formed into a hollow, the mass of the massage device 1 can be reduced and it is convenient to carry.

  The rotary piece 3 provided below one end side of the hand grip 2 is externally fitted so as to be rotatable at the center of the shaft supported by the two support frames 6 provided on the back surface of the hand grip 2. . Even if the back surface of the hand grip 2 is not a flat surface, it is sufficient if the support frame 6 can be fixed. It is attached so that the finger between the first joint and the second joint of the index finger of the user is positioned above the rotating roller 2. The rotary piece 3 is appropriately selected within a range of about 2 to 4 cm in diameter, but is not limited to this range. In addition, the shape of the outer periphery may be a flat shape, a shape in which the central portion is swollen, or an unevenness on the outer peripheral surface may be formed to strongly stimulate the skin surface. These are appropriately selected depending on the desired massage effect.

The rotary piece 3 may be entirely located below the hand grip handle 2 as in this embodiment, or the upper half may be accommodated inside the hand grip handle 2. However, if it protrudes to the upper surface side of the hand grip 2, it cannot be rotated by hitting the index finger of the user, so that it does not protrude. The material of the rotary piece 3 may be a natural material such as wood or a synthetic resin. When the rotating piece 3 is made of a synthetic resin, since there are many kinds of materials, a material whose hardness, color, shape and the like are relatively close to those desired can be obtained.

  The use of this device constructed as described above will be described. The user grips the hand grip 2 and places the tip of the index finger on the arc surface 4 at the upper corner on one end, and places the palm close to the wrist on the inclined surface 5 on the other end. The force of pulling the massage device 1 backward can be increased by placing the fingertip on the arcuate surface 4 and hooking it. Further, the force of pushing forward can be increased by the palm on the wrist placed on the inclined surface 5 on the other end side. Further, by placing a hand on the upper surface of the hand grip 2 as described above, the pressing force to the lower rotating piece 3 can be increased. Then, when the hand grip handle 2 is moved back and forth after the rotary piece 3 is applied to the acupuncture point or the affected part, the hand grip handle 2 is subjected to the weight of the hand and the arm in addition to the force to be held by the hand as described above. Therefore, moderate stimulation can be given to the acupoint and the affected part with a small force. In addition, the massage device 1 can be easily moved back and forth. Therefore, compared with the case of massaging with a finger, it is possible to massage with much less force. Furthermore, unlike conventional massage tools, since the force and weight from directly above the rotating top 2 are added, a strong massage effect can be obtained with a small amount of force. However, it is possible to give an effective massage by yourself and is especially useful for people who live alone.

In today's aging society, the elderly living alone are increasing year by year.
Even with a weak force like this device, it is expected that it can be used more effectively in the future of elderly people because it can easily massage acupoints and affected areas with a strong force alone.
