[0024]

With the conventional massage machine, the part to be massaged is not clearly distinguished from the part to be massaged, so it is not clear which part to put on the body at the time of use. The clear division into the part 1, the main massage part 2, and the sub-massage part 3 makes it easy to use and can be used normally to enhance the massage effect. In addition, since the pillow part 1, the main massage part 2, and the sub-massage part 3 are divided, the folding can be easily performed in a predetermined state. In addition, since the guide rail 5 is provided only in the main massage section 2, the guide rail 5 is provided.
Can be made shorter and lighter. Also the main massage
Bendable between part 2 and sub-massage part 3
The dimensions when folded will be decided,
Space that fits into this
However, in the present invention, the sub-massage part 3 is optional.
By being able to bend at the point, the secondary mass
Bend at an arbitrary position on the storage unit 3 to fit the storage space.
The folding shape can be freely selected so as to make it fit.

When a conventional massage machine is used by placing it on a soft object, the main massage section may bend and the driving of the main drive section may be difficult.
In the present invention, as in the second feature, the main massage unit 2 is provided with the guide rails 5 extending on both sides in the longitudinal direction integrally with the base 8 so that the main massage unit 2 cannot be bent, and the main massage unit 2 And the main drive unit 6 can be driven smoothly.

When the pillow was folded, only the pillow part 1 sometimes protruded. However, the pillow part 1 irrelevant to the massage was made foldable as in the third feature. It becomes well balanced when stored.

When the pillow portion 1 is made detachable as in the fourth feature , the pillow portion 1 is detached at the time of storage to improve the balance at the time of storage, and according to the user at the time of massaging. Pillows can be used to enhance the mental effect.

When the main massage part 2 and the sub-massage part 3 are integrated, only folding can be considered as a compact storage method, but as a fifth feature , the sub-massage part 3 is attached to the main massage part 2. When the main massage unit 2 is detachable, the storage method is diversified by removing the sub-massage unit 3 from the main massage unit 2. If a unit capable of performing various treatments is formed in the main massage unit 2 and the sub-massage unit 3, various treatments can be performed by combining the units.

Further were unable height adjustment of the pillow unit for could not be used only pillow portion that is integrated with the conventional massage machine, a sixth plurality of blocks 1a pillow portion 1 as characteristic of, If the height of the pillow portion 1 can be adjusted by bending or stacking the blocks 1a, 1b, the pillow portion 1 can be set to an arbitrary height according to the user's preference.

Conventional guide rails have been formed by bending an iron plate. However, since they require strength, they cannot be formed by simple processing, and a reinforcing member may be required in some cases. Also, as a result of gaining strength in this way, there are many cases where the weight increases and the weight becomes extremely heavy as a massage machine. However, in the present invention, by forming the guide rail 5 with an extruded member as in the seventh aspect , the guide rail 5 can be easily formed into a complicated shape, so that the strength can be increased, and a portion requiring a thick wall is required. Thick and unnecessary parts can be thinned, and a reasonable guide rail 5 can be formed, so that the weight does not increase more than necessary and the weight can be minimized. In addition, since the electric connection cord is stored in the space 9 of the guide rail 5, the electric connection cord can be stored so as not to interfere.

In the conventional guide rail, since the rack is formed integrally, the processing is troublesome and time-consuming, and it is very difficult to handle. However, in the present invention
As an eighth feature , the guide rail 5 of the extruded member,
The rack 10 for guiding the traveling of the main drive unit 6 is formed as a separate member, and the rack 10 is fitted into the groove 11 of the guide rail 5 and attached.
In addition, when the shape of the guide rail 5 or the rack 10 is changed, only one of them may be changed, so that the change can be easily made.

Conventionally, since the protection plate for protecting the human body from the drive unit is mounted using a guide rail and another special member, it is necessary to mount a special member on the entire movable range of the drive unit. However, in the present invention, the protection plate 13 is integrally formed on the guide rail 5 of the extruded member as in the ninth feature , or the protection plate 13 is separately provided on the mounting portion 14 provided in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 5 of the extruded member. By attaching the plate 13, the protection plate 13 protects the human body from the main driving unit 6 and the sub-driving unit 7, so that special members are not required unlike the related art, and the entire driving range of the driving unit is protected. The plate 13 can be easily attached, and the weight can be reduced because no special member is required.

There are two types of protective plates that cover the drive unit: one that is attached to the entire movable range of the drive unit and one that is directly attached to the outer wall of the drive unit. The former has no elasticity and the drive unit hits the body. There is no, but a hard part hits the body because the protection plate hits the body. In the latter case, when the drive unit moves, the protection plate directly hits the body, which may cause pain. However, in the present invention, the protection plate 13 has elasticity as in the tenth feature ,
In the part where the driving part is located, the protection plate 13 is lifted up smoothly and the stimulus to the body is gradually transmitted, so that no pain is felt. In the part where the driving part is not located, the protection plate 13 has elasticity so that there is no uncomfortable feeling.

In the conventional massage machine, the electric control circuit is provided with a dedicated space. In addition, since the driving unit moves to the whole area of the massage machine, the circuit mounting space is determined to be in a range where the driving unit does not move (an end on the pillow side or an end on the foot side). But in that case,
The electrical connection cord is required for almost the entire length of the massage machine,
The means for fixing it is also difficult. However, in the present invention, the electric control circuit is housed in the space 15 of the guide rail 5 of the extruded member as in the eleventh feature , so that the electric control circuit can be installed in the middle part of the guide rail 5 in the longitudinal direction. it can. As a result, the electrical connection cords can be shortened, and there is no need to create extra space for circuit installation.

Conventionally, no functional member is provided in the pillow portion, but an extra circuit storage space is provided by storing the electric control circuit in the pillow portion 1 as in the twelfth feature. There is no need to make it compact.

Conventionally, there are some which can be bent between the main massage part and the sub-massage part. Although the thickness of the base is constant, it can be bent because of its elasticity. However, when the base is formed of a rigid body, it is difficult to bend the base. In the present invention
As described in the thirteenth feature , the base 8 is formed of a rigid body by providing the thin portion 16 or the hole 17 at one or a plurality of positions so that the base 8 of the sub-massage unit 3 can be bent. Even it can be easily folded.

Further, as in the fourteenth feature , the bent portion of the base 8 of the sub-massage portion 3 is formed by a hinge, rubber, synthetic resin,
If you make it bendable with another member such as cloth, metal sheet, string, etc.,
Even if the base 8 is a rigid body, it can be easily bent at a place to be bent.

Further, by providing the dummy rail 18 on the sub-massaging unit 3 as in the fifteenth feature , the dummy rail 18 can support the body and stabilize the support of the body. It serves as a guide for traveling of the unit 7.

When the dummy rail 18 is formed of a foam as in the sixteenth feature , even if the dummy rail 18 is provided, the weight can be reduced and the body can be given a soft feel.

When the foam density of the bent portion of the foam dummy rail 18 is reduced as in the seventeenth feature , the bending can be facilitated, and the foam dummy rail 18 can be easily folded.
Life can be extended.

When an air bag is used as the dummy rail 18 as in the eighteenth feature , the weight can be reduced and a soft feeling to the human body can be given. In addition, when the air is evacuated during storage, the storage can be made smaller.

Conventionally, the cloth covering the body of the massage machine has not been elastic. However, when bending, the folded part requires an extra cloth because the length of the circumference becomes longer, and the body is stretched. In some cases, there is a problem that the cloth in the portion is excessively wrinkled, but in the present invention, the cloth covering the entire outer surface of the functional part of the main massage part 2 or the sub-massage part 3 as in the nineteenth feature is provided . By providing elasticity to the cloth 19, the cloth 19 is firmly stretched when it is stretched, and the cloth 19 stretches when it is bent, so that there is no problem.
