Utility Model Registration No. 3159255 Utility Model Registration No. 3154366 Utility Model Registration No. 3151598 Utility Model Registration No. 3131494 Japanese Patent No. 4461363 Japanese Patent No. 3082065

  An effective massage method for the face is to lift the face toward the top of the head by sliding the palm on the face while holding the face (skin) between the palms of both hands. There is a way. Since this method uses the palm of the surgeon, conventionally, this method has been realized only by a procedure by a masseur or the like.

  On the other hand, the devices proposed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 are provided with one or a plurality of rotating members such as rollers and spheres, and the surface of the face is simply stroked with this rotating member, or the rotating member is moved at a predetermined angle. It is like massaging the face contour. Moreover, the massage tool proposed by patent document 4 is massaged while pinching a face from both sides with a pair of roller branched to the left and right from the main body. Furthermore, the instruments proposed in Patent Document 5 and Patent Document 6 are mainly applied to parts other than the face.

  For this reason, it is difficult for the massage devices proposed in Patent Documents 1 to 6 to lift and massage the facial skin while sandwiching the face surface. Therefore, it is not possible to obtain a facial massage effect like the procedure described above.

  Also, a massage device that can sandwich the surface of the face is realized by diverting a structure in which two rollers are attached to the distal ends of the left and right arms as described in Patent Document 6 Even so, when the massage device is in a vertical posture so that the side on which the roller is provided is up, the arm supporting the roller is in an obliquely upward direction. For this reason, unless the massage device is held upside down so that the side on which the roller is provided is turned down, it is difficult to accurately apply the roller to the surface of the face, and there is a problem that the usability is poor.

  The present invention solves such problems, and the object of the present invention is to provide a massage device that can lift and massage the facial skin while sandwiching the face surface and is easy to use. Is to provide.

  The massage device of the present invention includes a main body to be gripped by hand, a pair of support shafts provided on the upper portion of the main body, and a pair of spherical members rotatably supported on the respective support shafts. In the state where the pair of support shafts are in a vertical posture with the main body facing up, each support shaft forms a predetermined angle α, and the angle β of each support shaft with respect to the vertical direction is an acute angle. As shown, it is inclined obliquely downward.

  By doing in this way, a pair of spherical members facing diagonally downward can be accurately applied to the face surface in a state where the main body is held so that the spherical members are on the top. Then, by pushing up the main body from the bottom to the top, the face skin can be lifted and massaged while sandwiching the face surface by a pair of spherical members rotating on the face surface. Moreover, since it is not necessary to hold the massage device upside down so that the spherical member faces down, the convenience of the user is improved.

  In the massage device, the angle α is desirably an angle in the range of 60 ° ≦ α ≦ 90 °, and the angle β is desirably an angle in the range of 55 ° ≦ β ≦ 70 °.

  In the massage device, the distance d between the pair of spherical members is preferably a distance in a range of 19 mm ≦ d ≦ 21 mm.

  By setting the angles α and β and the distance d as described above, the pair of spherical members can be applied to the skin in a good state, so that the massage effect can be enhanced.

  In the massage device, a massage sphere held rotatably in a state where a part of the massage device is exposed from the body may be provided.

  In the massage device, one or the other end of the main body may be provided with a protruding member for pressing a body part that protrudes from the main body.

  By providing such a sphere for massage and a projecting member for pressing the body part, in addition to facial massage, it is possible to perform massage on arms, legs, etc., and acupressure on shoulders. For this reason, in addition to the facial effect, effects such as a slimming effect and a stiff shoulder can be obtained with a single massage instrument.
