BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a massage device for massaging a user's palm or sole.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A massager, commonly referred to as an ottoman, is provided as suitable for partial massage of parts of the body, particularly the extremities. As shown in FIG. 7, this includes a massager body 4 formed in a U shape by connecting a pair of arms 1 and 2 with a handle 3, and a rotating treatment body 5 is provided between the arms 1 and 2. It is arranged and formed. Although not shown in the figure, a motor that can rotate forward and backward and a control unit that controls the speed of the motor are built in one arm 2, and the front surface of the arm 2 is an operation panel. The operation switches are provided.
[0003]
The rotary treatment body 5 having a horizontally long cylindrical cage structure as an overall impression is formed by connecting ring members arranged at both ends in the longitudinal direction and at intermediate positions to each other by a connecting shaft (not shown) and rotated by the power of the motor. And a number of rollers 7 as treatment elements attached over the ring members facing each other. Each roller 7 is provided at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotary treatment body 5, and each roller 7 is formed by continuously connecting a spindle-shaped large ball portion and a spherical small ball portion in the longitudinal direction. It can rotate freely around a horizontal axis. The maximum diameter of the large ball portion and the small ball portion is the same. In FIG. 7, reference numeral 8 denotes a cloth cover that is detachably attached to the rotary treatment body 5.
[0004]
This massager is used, for example, in a state where the sole, calf or ankle is placed on the rotating treatment body 5. As a result, each roller 7 rotates individually as the turntable 6 rotates, and the large ball portion and the small ball portion stimulate the soles and the like placed on the rotating treatment body 5. A massage effect such as promotion can be obtained.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the massager having the above-described configuration, unless the user intentionally steps the sole of the foot against the treatment body, the sole cannot be pressed against the treatment body. There is a problem that you can not. In addition, the massager having the above-described configuration merely has a sole or the like placed on the rotary treatment body 5 and the massaged portion such as the sole can easily escape, so that a massage effect with an appropriate strength can always be obtained. It is difficult. In order to do so, the sole of the foot or the like may be pressed strongly, but doing so will impair the massage effect because the body needs to be tensioned.
[0007]
In addition, since the rotary treatment body 5 of the massager having the above-described structure rotates around the axis of the horizontal axis, the large ball portion and the small ball portion of the roller 7 are covered with a sole such as a sole applied to the rotary treatment body 5. It hits the same place of the massage part and only massages the place limitedly. Since there is no change in the massage place in this way, the entire sole cannot be massaged unless the sole or the like is sometimes moved in the left-right direction even though the rotary treatment body 5 is large.
[0008]
  Therefore, the present invention seeks to solveThe challenge is to massage the part to be massaged with appropriate strength without accompanying body tension.The goal is to get a massage tool that can massage the part.

[0038]
  SaidAir bag27 is thisbag27 is covered with a top cover 23 as a support of 27 and disposed above the rotary treatment body 25. thisbag27 is expanded and contracted by supplying and exhausting air. The top cover 23 is prevented from expanding upward and can be expanded in the direction of the rotary treatment body 25. The operation unit 42 includesAir bagAn adjustment knob 44 for adjusting the amount of expansion of 27 is provided. In addition, according to the structure which provides the operation part 42 in the top cover 23 like this embodiment, since the other hand which operates the operation part 42 with respect to one hand massaged as mentioned later does not cross. It is excellent in that the operability is good.
[0039]
  thisAir bagAn air supply / exhaust device 28 for supplying and exhausting air to 27 is installed in the rear chamber 22b. These top covers 23,Air bag27 and the air supply / exhaust device 28 constitute massaging portion pressing means. According to this pressing means, the pressing force is reduced.Air bag27, the structure of the pressing part is simple.
[0040]
  The air supply / exhaust device 28 has an air pump (not shown), and compressed air discharged by the pump operation is supplied via an air hose 45.Air bag27 in the middle of the hose 45,Air bagAn electromagnetic exhaust valve 46 that is closed when the valve 27 is expanded or is opened while being adjusted to an appropriate throttle opening degree and is opened when the valve 27 is contracted is connected. The air supply / exhaust device 28 is provided with a control unit (not shown), and the operation of the exhaust valve 46 and the air pump is controlled by this control unit according to a predetermined mode. In this embodiment, for example,Air bag27 includes an air supply process in which compressed air is supplied to 27, an expansion maintaining process in which the exhaust valve 46 is subsequently closed for a predetermined time, and an air exhaust process in which the exhaust valve 46 is subsequently opened to discharge air. The cycle is repeated a predetermined number of times. In combination with this control, for example, the control unit may control the rotation direction of the motor to be reversed in the expansion maintaining step every cycle. In this case, the treatment elements 35a to 35i are used.bySince the stimulation direction is alternately reversed, the massage effect can be further enhanced.
[0041]
  Next, the case where the massaged part (for example, palm) of a user is massaged using the massage tool 21 of the said structure is demonstrated. In the use waiting state of this massage tool 21,Air bag27 is contracted, and this is retracted above the cover sheet 26 covering the treatment elements 35a to 35i, and there is a gap between which the hand portion can be inserted. In this state, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 4, the user inserts the hand portion into the gap.
[0042]
  After the hand portion is set and supported on the rotary treatment body 25 in this way, the air supply / exhaust device 28 is operated by turning on the power switch 43 with the other hand, so that the air passes through the air hose 45.Air bag27, the bag 27 is inflated. Then it expandsAir bag27, the hand portion is pressed downward, and the palm is pressed against the treatment elements 35 a to 35 i of the rotary treatment body 25 via the cover sheet 26. This pressing force isAir bagThe degree of expansion 27 can be appropriately selected by the adjustment knob 44 according to the thickness of the hand portion and the like, and can be pressed with an appropriate force according to the setting. When the adjustment knob 44 is adjusted, the opening of the exhaust valve 46 changes accordingly,Air bagThe amount of air supply to 27 is adjusted to the desired levelAir bag27 can be expanded.
[0043]
  ThusAir bagWhen 27 is expanded, the detection shaft 41 of the detection mechanism 38 is pushed down against the force of the spring 40 by the palm pressing the cover sheet 26, so that the detection switch 41 is turned on. Thereby, the motor of the drive unit 24 is operated, and the rotary treatment body 25 is rotated at a low speed together with the output rotary shaft 31.
[0044]
  Therefore, it expanded as described aboveAir bagIn a state in which the hand 27 presses the hand part against the treatment elements 35a to 35i of the turntable 33 with proper force, the plurality of treatment elements 35a to 35i can stimulate and massage the palm as the turntable 33 rotates. it can. In this case, the user does not have to press his / her palm against each of the treatment elements 35a to 35i by putting his / her hand in his / her hand. In other words, the user can relax his / her palm with proper strength without accompanying body tension. The massager 35a to 35i can be pressed and maintained to be massaged.
[0045]
  And in this massage, the turntable 33 is rotated horizontally. Therefore, the treatment elements 35a to 35d, 35f, which are arranged to be deviated from the rotation center of the turntable 33.35iWhile moving horizontally, the position of the palm pressed against the turntable 33 is changed, and the palm can be stimulated and massaged. Thus, since each treatment element 35a-35d, 35f-35i is circularly moved horizontally, and the contact position with respect to a palm is changed, the palm can be massaged extensively by each treatment element 35a-35d, 35f-35I.
[0046]
Moreover, in this massage, a group of treatment elements 35a, 35c, 35g, 35i and a group of treatment elements 35b, 35d, 35f, 35h having different distances from the rotation center of the turntable 33 are horizontal circles with different radii. Exercise and change the contact position with your palm as described above. Therefore, since a wide area of the palm pressed against the turntable 33 by these treatment elements can be massaged evenly, the massage effect is good.
[0047]
As described above, when each of the treatment elements 35a to 35i includes a plurality of treatment elements having different heights, the treatment elements having different heights are rotated with the rotation of the turntable 33. As described above, the treatment elements having different heights can be used to increase or decrease the stimulation to the palm, which is excellent in that the massage effect can be further improved.
[0048]
Furthermore, since each treatment element 35a-35i is rotatable, in the above massage operation, according to the contact with the rotating table 33 and the cover sheet 26 pressed by the palm as the rotating table 33 rotates (revolution), The therapy elements 35a-35i can rotate. Thus, since each treatment element 35a-35i rotates with rotation (revolution) of the turntable 33, the touch in contact with each treatment element 35a-35i can be improved, and a feeling of use is good, and the motor of the drive part 24 is improved. Can be reduced.
[0049]
Further, since the rotary treatment body 25 includes a treatment element holding plate 34 and the treatment holes 35a to 35i are positioned so as not to go out of the holding hole 34b by the holding holes 34b, the massage is performed. In operation, it is possible to prevent the treatment elements 35a to 35i that can rotate freely from being gathered in one place and being biased. Thereby, while being able to exhibit a predetermined massage function, it can prevent that each treatment element 35a-35i collides and is damaged.
[0050]
Moreover, since these treatment elements 35a to 35i are prevented from moving upward by the cover sheet 26 disposed above them, the plurality of treatment elements 35a to 35i gather in one place and ride on the opponent. Therefore, each of the treatment elements 35a to 35i can be held at an appropriate height position for massage. As described above, since the bias of the treatment elements 35a to 35i of the rotary treatment body 25 can be prevented, a predetermined massage function can be maintained, and the treatment element 35a can be tilted or reversed when carrying the massage tool 21 or the like. ˜35i is prevented from falling off and can be handled easily. Furthermore, since the treatment elements 35a to 35i stimulate the palm through the cover sheet 26, the rotating treatment elements 35a to 35i are prevented from being caught on the palm, and the feeling of use can be improved. It can be rotated smoothly.
[0051]
  In addition, by repeating the cycle described above, the palm repeats expansion every predetermined time in addition to the massage by rotation as described above.Air bag27 is repeatedly pressed against the treatment elements 35a to 35i, which is also excellent in that massage can be performed by the acupressure action accompanying the repeated stimulation by the pressurization.
[0052]
In order to interrupt the massage, the power switch 43 may be turned off, or alternatively, the hand portion may be pulled out.
[0053]
