Description

  The present invention relates to a sole massage device that can massage the entire sole.

As a foot massage device, “Aotake tread” is conventionally known. This is to split a thick bamboo and place it on the floor and step on it. The curvature of the bamboo stimulates the sole of the foot and gives a massage effect.
Furthermore, an improved version has been proposed in which a curved surface of a rod-like hard member having a flat bottom surface, a constant length and thickness and a curved upper surface is provided with a plurality of regular irregularities. Yes. (For example, see Patent Document 1)

Apart from this, there has also been proposed a foot massage device that can massage an arch by using a roller having a plurality of protrusions on its outer peripheral surface. (For example, see Patent Documents 2 to 4)
However, in such a foot massage device, since the roller rotates, there is a risk of slipping and falling when used by an elderly person or a child.

  In order to improve this, a rotary massage device has also been proposed in which a foot massage device is rolled by applying a concave and convex roller having a dent on the surface to the sole and rolling the foot massage device by itself. For example, in Patent Document 5, a plurality of concave and convex rollers having depressions are fitted on an arc-shaped surface coated with resin on the outer surface of a straight pipe, and both sides of the concave and convex rollers have a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the concave and convex rollers, There has been proposed a foot massage device in which a concavo-convex roller and a smooth roller are crimped by fitting a smooth roller having an arc-shaped surface coated with resin and pressing from both ends of a straight pipe.

However, the conventionally proposed foot massage device has the following disadvantages.
In the foot massage device introduced in the above paragraph 0002, the surface is only flat or has regular irregularities, and therefore the stimulus applied to the sole of the sole is weak.

  Next, in the foot massage device introduced in the above paragraph 0003, the sole is excessively stimulated by the protrusion provided on the outer peripheral surface of the roller. Furthermore, since the roller rotates, there is a risk of slipping and falling when used by the elderly or children.

  In addition, in the foot massage device introduced in paragraph 0004 above, the uneven roller having a depression on the surface is applied to the sole and the device is rolled by itself, so there is little risk of slipping and falling, but the surface is regular, In addition, because of the relatively large irregularities, the stimulus given to the sole of the sole is weak.
