Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は人体表面に転接させるローラに振動を与えることでマッサージを行う手持ち型のマッサージ機に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
把持部の一端に回転自在に支持されたローラを配するとともに、外周面を人体との接触面とした上記ローラに振動を与える振動発生部を備えているマッサージ機がある。実開平５−８４３２８号公報などに示されたこの種のマッサージ機では、人体表面にローラを接触させた状態でローラを転がしつつ振動をローラに与えることでマッサージを行い、血行を促進させたりする。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来のローラを転がして使用する場合、ローラが単数では、施療部へ均一なマッサージ効果を得ることは難しいという問題がある。
本発明は上記の点に鑑みて発明したものであって、施療したい患部に均一な刺激及び均一なマッサージ効果を得ることができるマッサージ機を提供することを課題とするものである。
【０００４】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために本発明のマッサージ機は、把持部１の一端に外周部が人体との接触部となったローラ５を回転自在に支持し、このローラ５に振動を与える振動発生部を備えているマッサージ機であって、振動発生部を内蔵するヘッド２を把持部１の一端に設けて、該ヘッド２の振動が付与される外面に複数のローラ５をヘッド２から突出している突出部を結ぶ線が湾曲するように平行に配置し、前記複数のローラ５のうち湾曲の突出部分に位置するローラ５にのみ外部の押し力により高さを変更できる弾性機構を設けて成ることを特徴とするものである。このような構成とすることで、ローラ５を肌に当てた状態での振動マッサージと、ヘッド２の外面を直接肌に当てた状態での振動マッサージとを選ぶことができるようにしたものであり、しかも、ヘッド２の振動が付与される外面に複数のローラ５を平行に配置することで、施療部に均一なマッサージ効果を与えることができるものである。
【０００６】
また、平行に配された複数個のローラ５がヘッド２から突出している突出部を結ぶ線が湾曲するように配置してあることで、人体の凹凸のある施療部に均一にローラ５を当てることができることになり、湾曲して配置された複数のローラ５のうち湾曲の突出部分に位置するローラ５が外部の押し力により高さを変更できる弾性機構を設けてあることで、湾曲の突出部分に位置するローラ５が弾性機構により高さが変更された人体の肌に対してなじみやすくなる。
【０００８】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、添付図面に基づいて本発明の実施形態を説明する。
図１には本発明のマッサージ機の一実施形態の斜視図が示してある。棒状をして先端部が緩やかに屈曲した把持部１の先端部には連結部３を介して円盤状のヘッド２が設けてある。また把持部１の一端からは電源コード９が導出され、把持部１の表面にはスイッチ１０が配されている。
【０００９】
上記連結部３は、把持部１に対してその軸回りにヘッド２を回転自在としている回転連結部３０と軟質合成樹脂より形成されて可撓性を有している可撓性部３６とからなるもので、回転連結部３０は図２（ｂ）に示すように把持部１先端から突出している筒軸３１の外面にヘッド２側の回転カバー３２を被せて回転自在としたものであり、ストッパー３３によって回転範囲が３６０°以内とされているこの回転連結部３０では、ばね付勢されたボール３４とこのボール３４が嵌まる凹部３５とによって所定回転角度毎にクリックが生じるようにされている。
【００１０】
ヘッド２に内蔵された振動発生部４はモータ４０とモータ４０の出力軸に取り付けられた偏心分銅４１とからなるもので、モータ４０による偏心分銅４１の回転でヘッド２は振動する。図中４２はモータ４０の重量に対するバランサーである。そして円盤状となっているヘッド２の外周には複数のローラ５がその軸回りに回転自在となるように平行に配されている。
【００１１】
図３、図４において、ヘッド２はハウジング２ａとカバー２ｂとを合着して構成してある。ヘッド２の外周部の一部にはローラ収納凹部２ｃが設けてあり、ローラ収納凹部２ｃの両側には複数対のローラ軸支持部２ｄが設けてある。ローラ収納凹部２ｃには複数のローラ５の後部がそれぞれ配置してあって、複数のローラ５に設けたローラ軸５０を複数対のローラ軸支持部２ｄにそれぞれ回転自在に支持してある。このようにしてヘッド２に回転自在に取付けられた複数のローラ５はローラ軸５０が互いに平行となるような位置関係となっており、また、複数のローラ５の前部がヘッド２の外面から突出している。
【００１２】
ここにおいて、振動発生部４の偏心分銅４１の回転中心、つまりモータ４０の回転軸は、円盤状のヘッド２の中心軸と一致しており、偏心分銅４１の回転によってヘッド２はその軸回りに振り回される振動が生じる。従って、ヘッド２の外周面を肌に当てることによって振動マッサージを得ることができる。また、ヘッド２の外周部に配されたローラ５を肌に当てて転がしつつ偏心分銅４１を回転させて振動を発生させたならば、ローラ５を介して肌に振動マッサージを与えることができる。このローラ５を肌に当てて振動マッサージをする際、ローラ５を複数個互いに平行となるように設けてあることで、複数個のローラ５を転がしつつ振動マッサージを与えることができて、複数個のローラ５による振動マッサージで施療部に均一なマッサージをすることができるのである。
【００１３】
なお、把持部１が屈曲している関係上、ローラ５を肌に当てる時とヘッド２の外周を肌に当てる時とでは持ち方を変えなくてはならないが、上記回転連結部３０において、把持部１に対してヘッド２を回転させることによって、持ち方を変えなくてもローラ５もしくはヘッド２外周のいずれかを肌に当てることができる。
【００１４】
図５には本発明の他の実施形態が示してある。本実施形態においては、平行に配された複数個のローラ５に刺激玉８を設け、一方のローラ５の刺激玉８の軸方向の位置と別のローラ５の刺激玉８の軸方向の位置が交互となるように配置した例が示してあり、他の構成は図１乃至図３の実施形態と同様であるので、他の構成の説明は省略する。しかして、本実施形態においては、平行に配された複数個のローラ５に刺激玉８を設け、一方のローラ５の刺激玉８の軸方向の位置と別のローラ５の刺激玉８の軸方向の位置が交互となるように配置してあることで、複数個のローラ５を肌に当てて振動マッサージをする際、平行に配した複数個のローラ５の刺激玉８が交互に施療部を刺激して施療部を均一にマッサージすることができることになる。
【００１５】
図６には本発明の更に他の実施形態が示してある。本実施形態においては、平行に配された複数個のローラ５の形状を異ならた例が示してあり、他の構成は図１乃至図３の実施形態と同様であるので、他の構成の説明は省略する。しかして本実施形態のように平行に配された複数個のローラ５の形状を異ならせることで、色々な刺激を施療部に与えることができるものである。なお、図６においては、外周面に凹凸部５５を設けた太鼓型をしたローラ５ａと、外周面が山谷形状となった略ひょうたん状をしたローラ５ｂとを平行に設けた例を示しているが、他の形状のローラ５であってもよく、要は平行に配された複数個のローラ５の形状が異っているものであれば、その形状は特に限定がない。また、ヘッド２に対してローラ５を取り換え可能にして、他の形状のローラ５と付け替えることができるようにすると、より多様な刺激を施療部に与えることができるものである。
【００１６】
図７には本発明の更に他の実施形態が示してある。本実施形態においては、平行に配された複数個のローラ５のヘッド２から突出している突出部を結ぶ仮想線Ｍが図７に示すように湾曲するように複数個のローラ５を配置した例が示してあり、他の構成は図１乃至図３の実施形態と同様であるので、他の構成の説明は省略する。しかして本実施形態においては、平行に配された複数個のローラ５がヘッド２から突出している突出部を結ぶ線（仮想線Ｍ）が湾曲するように複数個のローラ５を配置してあるので、人体の凹凸のある施療部に沿って複数のローラ５を均一に当てることができることになる。
【００１７】
図８、図９には本発明の更に他の実施形態が示してある。本実施形態においては、上記のように湾曲して配置された複数のローラ５のうち湾曲の突出部分に位置するローラ５が外部の押し力により高さを変更できるように弾性機構を設けたものであり、他の構成は図１乃至図３及び図７に示す実施形態と同様であるので、重複する説明は省略する。本実施形態においては、ヘッド２に設けた複数対のローラ軸支持部２ｄのうち上記湾曲の突出部分に位置するローラ５のローラ軸５０を支持するローラ軸支持部２ｄ′が前後方向に長い長溝状をしており、長溝状のローラ軸支持部２ｄ′に軸受け部２ｅを前後方向にスライド自在に設け、更に、ばね材２ｆにより軸受け部２ｅに前方に移動するばね力を付与してある。そして、ローラ軸支持部２ｄ′に前後方向にスライド自在に設けた軸受け部２ｅに上記湾曲の突出部分に位置するローラ５のローラ軸５０を回転自在に支持してあり、また、他のローラ軸支持部２ｄは単にローラ５のローラ軸５０を回転自在に支持してあるのみで、ローラ５が前後方向に移動できないようにしてある。このように、湾曲して配置された複数のローラ５のうち湾曲の突出部分に位置するローラ５が外部の押し力により沈み込み量を変更できるように（つまり高さを変更できるように）弾性機構を設けることで、湾曲の突出部分に位置するローラ５が施療部Ｓである肌の状態に応じて図９（ａ）や（ｂ）のようにローラ５の高さ（突出長）が外部の押し力により変更して、これにより、施療部Ｓをむらなくマッサージすることができることになり、特に、弾性機構を有するローラを転がしながらマッサージすることにより、施療したい患部にむらなく均一にマッサージすることができるのである。
【００１８】
なお、上記したいずれの実施形態においても、把持部１が屈曲している関係上、ローラ５を肌に当てる時とヘッド２の外周を肌に当てる時とでは持ち方を変えなくてはならないが、上記回転連結部３０において、把持部１に対してヘッド２を回転させることによって、持ち方を変えなくてもローラ５もしくはヘッド２外周のいずれかを肌に当てることができる。
【００１９】
【発明の効果】
本発明の請求項１記載の発明にあっては、上記のように、把持部の一端に外周部が人体との接触部となったローラを回転自在に支持し、このローラに振動を与える振動発生部を備えているマッサージ機であって、振動発生部を内蔵するヘッドを把持部の一端に設けて、該ヘッドの振動が付与される外面に複数のローラを平行に配置してあるので、平行に配置した複数個のローラを肌に沿って転がしつつ肌に振動マッサージを与えることと、肌の一か所をヘッドの外周部で押圧しつつ振動マッサージを与えることができるものであり、状況に応じた振動マッサージの付与を行うことができるものであり、また、平行に配置した複数個のローラを転がしつつ振動マッサージを与えることで、施療部に均一なマッサージ効果を与えることができるものである。
【００２１】
また更に、平行に配された複数個のローラがヘッドから突出している突出部を結ぶ線が湾曲するように配置してあるので、人体の凹凸のある施療部に均一にローラを当てることができ、これにより凹凸のある施療部に均一なマッサージができるものである。
【００２２】
また更に、湾曲して配置された複数のローラのうち湾曲の突出部分に位置するローラが外部の押し力により高さを変更できる弾性機構を設けてあるので、人体の肌に馴染みやすく、より均一なマッサージ効果が得られるものである。
