Description

本発明は、椅子式マッサージ機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a chair type massage machine.

従来から、椅子本体の背凭れ部に、その背凭れ面に凭れた被施療者の背部に対して施療子を当ててマッサージ施療を施すための施療ユニットが配備された椅子式マッサージ機が知られている（たとえば特許文献１参照）。このような椅子式マッサージ機では、施療ユニットに施療子の前後位置設定機構を備えており、被施療者が上記前後位置設定機構を操作、作動させることで、施療子の前後位置が設定可能にされている。つまり、施療子を背凭れ面の前方突出量を大きくすると、背凭れ面に凭れた被施療者への施療子の押圧強さを強くできるのであり、被施療者の好みに応じた強さのマッサージ施療を可能にしている。   Conventionally, a chair type massage machine in which a treatment unit for applying a treatment element to the back part of a user who is drowning on the backrest surface of the chair main body is provided on the back part of the chair body is known. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). In such a chair type massage machine, the treatment unit has a front / rear position setting mechanism of the treatment element, and the user can set the front / rear position of the treatment element by operating and operating the front / rear position setting mechanism. Has been. In other words, if the amount of forward protrusion of the backrest surface of the treatment element is increased, the pressing force of the treatment element against the treatment person drowning on the backrest surface can be increased, and the strength according to the preference of the treatment person can be increased. It enables massage treatment.

しかしながら、施療ユニットに施療子の前後位置設定機構を備えることは、施療ユニットの構造の複雑化を招き、施療ユニット、ひいては椅子式マッサージ機のコストが高くなるという問題がある。また、被施療者においても、その体格によりおよそ好みの施療子の設定位置は決まってくるのであり、詳しくは、体格のよい（体重のある）人は施療子の背凭れ面からの突出量を大きく設定して比較的強めのマッサージ施療を好み、体格のわるい（体重のない）人は施療子の背凭れ面からの突出量を小さく設定して比較的弱めのマッサージ施療を好む傾向にあり、マッサージ機の使用のたびに前後位置設定機構を操作することは煩わしくて良好な使用性を有するとは言えない、という問題があった。
特開２００６−３４６３５号公報 However, providing the treatment unit with the front / rear position setting mechanism of the treatment unit leads to a complicated structure of the treatment unit, and there is a problem that the cost of the treatment unit, and thus the chair type massage machine, is increased. In addition, the setting position of the preferred treatment element is also determined by the physique of the user, and in detail, a person with good physique (weight) can project the amount of protrusion from the backrest surface of the treatment element. Larger settings prefer a relatively strong massage treatment, and those with poor physique (without weight) tend to prefer a relatively weak massage treatment by setting the amount of protrusion from the back of the treatment element small, There is a problem that it is troublesome to operate the front / rear position setting mechanism every time the massage machine is used, and it cannot be said that it has good usability.
JP 2006-34635 A

本発明は上記の点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、簡単な構造で、被施療者の体格に応じて施療子の背凭れ面からの前方突出量を自動的に規定できて良好な使用性を備える椅子式マッサージ機を提供することを課題とするものである。   The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the object of the present invention is to have a simple structure and automatically calculate the amount of forward protrusion from the backrest surface of the treatment element according to the physique of the user. It is an object of the present invention to provide a chair type massage machine that can be defined and has good usability.

上記課題を解決するために本発明の椅子式マッサージ機にあっては、椅子本体２の背凭れ部３の主体を構成する背凭れ基部４に、背凭れ部３の背凭れ面５に凭れた被施療者の背部に施療子６を当ててマッサージ施療を施す施療ユニット７を配備し、背凭れ面５を複数の区域１０に区分けして各区域１０ごとに背凭れ面５の構成材と背凭れ基部４との間に弾性体８を介装して、背凭れ面５の各区域１０を個別に上記弾性体８の伸縮にて前後方向に位置可変にし、背凭れ面５の前後位置に応じて施療子６の背凭れ面５からの前方突出量が変化して成ることを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above problems, in the chair type massage machine of the present invention, the backrest base portion 4 constituting the main body of the backrest portion 3 of the chair body 2 is drowned by the backrest surface 5 of the backrest portion 3. A treatment unit 7 for applying massage treatment 6 to the back of the user to perform massage treatment is provided, and the backrest surface 5 is divided into a plurality of areas 10 and the components and back of the backrest surface 5 are divided for each area 10. The elastic body 8 is interposed between the back base 4 and each section 10 of the backrest surface 5 is individually variable in the front-rear direction by the expansion and contraction of the elastic body 8. Accordingly, the amount of forward protrusion from the backrest surface 5 of the treatment element 6 is changed.

これによると、背凭れ面５の構成材と施療ユニット７を配備した背凭れ基部４との間に弾性体８を介装するという簡単な構成で、背凭れ面５に凭れる被施療者の体重に応じて圧縮する弾性体８によって、背凭れ面５の前後位置、ひいては施療子６の背凭れ面５からの前方突出量を、被施療者の体格に適した強さのマッサージ施療を施し得るように自動的に決定できるのであり、すなわち、体重のある被施療者には施療子６の背凭れ面５からの突出量が大きくなって比較的強めのマッサージ施療を施すと共に、体重のない被施療者には施療子６の背凭れ面５からの突出量が小さくなって比較的弱めのマッサージ施療を施すように自動的にできるのであり、従来のようにその使用のたびに施療ユニット７の施療子６の前後位置設定機構を設定操作するという煩わしさを解消し、良好な使用性を備えることができる。さらに、背凭れ面５の各区域１０を対応する各弾性体８によって個別に前後方向に位置可変にしたことで、上記各区域１０における施療子６の背凭れ面５からの突出量を個別に決定できるのであり、被施療者の背部にある肩部位や腰部位などの各部位に、たとえば各部位の身体のラインに基づくような別個の強さのマッサージ施療を施すことができ、椅子式マッサージ機１の使用感を高めることができる。 According to this, with the simple structure of interposing the elastic body 8 between the component material of the backrest surface 5 and the backrest base portion 4 in which the treatment unit 7 is provided, the user who is drowning on the backrest surface 5 is arranged. With the elastic body 8 that compresses according to the body weight, the front and back positions of the backrest surface 5 and the amount of forward protrusion from the backrest surface 5 of the treatment element 6 are subjected to massage treatment with strength suitable for the physique of the user. In other words, it is possible to determine automatically, that is, for a patient who has a weight, the amount of protrusion from the backrest surface 5 of the treatment element 6 is increased, and a relatively strong massage treatment is given, and there is no weight. Since the amount of protrusion of the treatment element 6 from the backrest surface 5 of the treatment element 6 is reduced, the treatment person can automatically perform a relatively weak massage treatment. Setting operation of the front / rear position setting mechanism of the treatment element 6 Eliminating the hassle of that, it is possible with good usability. Furthermore, by making the respective positions 10 of the backrest surface 5 individually variable in the front-rear direction by the corresponding elastic bodies 8, the amount of protrusion of the treatment element 6 from the backrest surface 5 in each of the areas 10 is individually determined. It can be determined, and each part such as the shoulder part or the waist part on the back of the user can be subjected to a massage treatment with a separate strength, for example, based on the body line of each part, and the chair type massage. The usability of the machine 1 can be enhanced.

また、背凭れ面５を縁切りした状態で背凭れ基部４の前方を覆う前面カバー体９で構成し、弾性体８の一端を前面カバー体９に取り付けると共に、他端を背凭れ基部４に有した椅子本体２の本体フレーム１４に取り付けたことも好ましい。   In addition, the front cover body 9 covers the front of the backrest base 4 with the backrest surface 5 cut off, and one end of the elastic body 8 is attached to the front cover body 9 and the other end is attached to the backrest base 4. It is also preferable that the chair body 2 is attached to the body frame 14.

これによると、弾性体８が、背凭れ基部４と縁切りした前面カバー体９と、背凭れ基部４に有した椅子本体２の本体フレーム１４との間に介装されるので、弾性体８に被施療者の体重に応じた正確な圧縮動作を確保でき、被施療者の体格に適した強さのマッサージ施療をより正確に確保することができる。   According to this, since the elastic body 8 is interposed between the front cover body 9 cut off from the backrest base 4 and the main body frame 14 of the chair body 2 provided on the backrest base 4, the elastic body 8 An accurate compressing operation according to the weight of the user can be ensured, and a massage treatment having a strength suitable for the physique of the user can be more accurately ensured.

また、弾性体８をゴムで構成したり、バネで構成したりすることも好ましい。   It is also preferable that the elastic body 8 is made of rubber or a spring.

本発明にあっては、簡単な構造で、被施療者の体格に応じて施療子の背凭れ面からの前方突出量を自動的に規定できて良好な使用性を備えることができる、という利点を有する。   In the present invention, it is possible to automatically define the amount of forward protrusion from the backrest surface of the treatment element according to the physique of the user with a simple structure, and to have good usability. Have

以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施形態に基いて説明する。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

図１に本発明の実施の形態の例を示す。本例の椅子式マッサージ機１は、マッサージ施療の施される被施療者が座る椅子本体２を有している。椅子本体２は足載せ部１１、座部１２、肘掛部１３、背凭れ部３を有して構成されている。詳しくは、足載せ部１１は座部１２の前側に配置され、肘掛部１３は座部１２の左右にそれぞれ配置され、背凭れ部３は座部１２の後側に配置されている。椅子本体２には各部３，１１〜１３を連結する構造材としての本体フレーム１４が設けられており、足載せ部１１や背凭れ部３は本体フレーム１４に設けた伸縮リンク等の回動機構１５を介してそれぞれ傾倒自在に設けられている。背凭れ部３はその前面が椅子本体２に着座した被施療者の背部を凭れかける背凭れ面５となるが、背凭れ部３には上記背凭れ面５に凭れた被施療者の背部に施療子６を当ててマッサージ施療を施す施療ユニット７が配備されている。   FIG. 1 shows an example of an embodiment of the present invention. The chair type massage machine 1 of this example has a chair body 2 on which a user to be massaged is seated. The chair body 2 includes a footrest part 11, a seat part 12, an armrest part 13, and a backrest part 3. Specifically, the footrest portion 11 is disposed on the front side of the seat portion 12, the armrest portions 13 are disposed on the left and right sides of the seat portion 12, and the backrest portion 3 is disposed on the rear side of the seat portion 12. The chair main body 2 is provided with a main body frame 14 as a structural material for connecting the respective parts 3, 11 to 13, and the footrest portion 11 and the backrest portion 3 are rotating mechanisms such as telescopic links provided on the main body frame 14. 15 are provided so as to be freely tiltable. The backrest portion 3 is a backrest surface 5 on which the front surface of the user seated on the chair body 2 is scooped. The backrest portion 3 is attached to the back portion of the user drowning on the backrest surface 5. A treatment unit 7 for applying massage treatment by applying the treatment element 6 is provided.

ここで、本例の背凭れ部３は、背凭れ部３の主体を構成して本体フレーム１４に取り付けされた背凭れ基部４と、背凭れ基部４の前方を覆う前面カバー体９とで分割構成されている。背凭れ基部４には施療ユニット７が、背凭れ基部４内の本体フレーム１４を構成する背凭れ部３の略上下に亙るレール材１６に沿って上下に移動自在にして配備されている。なお、施療ユニット７はレール材１６への走行ローラや施療子６に対する駆動部を内装したユニット本体１７を有し、施療子６はユニット本体１７から前方へ突出された状態で設けられている。背凭れ基部４に配備した施療ユニット７は、その施療子６が背凭れ面５から前方に突出可能にされている。なお、施療子６は背凭れ部３の被覆材（図示せず）を被せて外方には露出しないようにしてもよい。   Here, the backrest portion 3 of this example is divided into a backrest base portion 4 that constitutes the main body of the backrest portion 3 and attached to the main body frame 14, and a front cover body 9 that covers the front of the backrest base portion 4. It is configured. A treatment unit 7 is disposed on the backrest base 4 so as to be movable up and down along a rail member 16 extending substantially up and down of the backrest 3 constituting the main body frame 14 in the backrest base 4. The treatment unit 7 has a unit main body 17 in which a traveling roller for the rail material 16 and a drive unit for the treatment element 6 are housed, and the treatment element 6 is provided in a state of protruding forward from the unit main body 17. The treatment unit 7 arranged on the backrest base 4 is configured such that the treatment element 6 can protrude forward from the backrest surface 5. The treatment element 6 may be covered with a covering material (not shown) for the backrest 3 so as not to be exposed to the outside.

また、前面カバー体９は、その前面部が背凭れ面５とされ、前面部の周囲から後方へ突出する側面部が背凭れ基部４の側面部に重なるようにして、背凭れ基部４の前方に配置されている。そして、この前面カバー体９の背凭れ面５と背凭れ基部４との間には弾性体８が介装されている。本例では弾性体８は背凭れ部３内の上部及び下部における各左右箇所に計４つ設置しており、各弾性体８には同じバネ定数のコイル状のバネを用いているが、たとえばゴムによっても構成できる。したがって、背凭れ面５は前面カバー体９と共に、上記弾性体８の伸縮によって、背凭れ基部４への距離を変化させるように、前後方向に位置可変にされている。背凭れ基部４には施療ユニット７が配備されているので、上記のように背凭れ面５がその前後方向に位置を変化させると、ユニット本体１７から前方に突出する施療子６における背凭れ面５からの前方突出量が変化することとなっている。   Further, the front cover body 9 has a front surface portion as a backrest surface 5, and a side surface portion protruding rearward from the periphery of the front surface portion overlaps a side surface portion of the backrest base portion 4. Is arranged. An elastic body 8 is interposed between the backrest surface 5 and the backrest base 4 of the front cover body 9. In this example, a total of four elastic bodies 8 are installed at the left and right locations in the upper and lower parts of the backrest 3, and each elastic body 8 uses a coil spring having the same spring constant. It can also be made of rubber. Therefore, the backrest surface 5 and the front cover body 9 are variable in position in the front-rear direction so as to change the distance to the backrest base 4 by the expansion and contraction of the elastic body 8. Since the treatment unit 7 is provided in the backrest base 4, when the position of the backrest surface 5 is changed in the front-rear direction as described above, the backrest surface of the treatment element 6 protruding forward from the unit body 17. The amount of forward protrusion from 5 changes.

つまり、被施療者が背凭れ面５に凭れかかると、被施療者の体重に基づく被施療者による背凭れ面５への荷重によって弾性体８が圧縮されて、背凭れ面５の前後位置、ひいては施療子６の背凭れ面５からの前方突出量が変化するようにされている。たとえば、被施療者が体重のある（体格のよい）人であれば、弾性体８が大きく圧縮されて背凭れ面５が後方へ大きく沈み込み、施療子６における背凭れ面５からの前方突出量が大きくなる。そして、前方突出量の大きい施療子６によると、被施療者の背部への押圧強さが強くなり、体格のよい被施療者が好む傾向にある比較的強めのマッサージ施療が施されるようになる。一方、被施療者が体重のない（体格のわるい）人であれば、弾性体８の圧縮量が小さくて背凭れ面５の後方への沈み込みも小さく、施療子６における背凭れ面５からの前方突出量が小さくなる。そして、前方突出量の小さい施療子６によると、被施療者の背部への押圧強さが弱くなり、体格のわるい被施療者が好む傾向にある比較的弱めのマッサージ施療が施されるようになる。   That is, when the user leans on the backrest surface 5, the elastic body 8 is compressed by the load on the backrest surface 5 by the user based on the weight of the user, and the front and back positions of the backrest surface 5 are As a result, the amount of forward protrusion from the backrest surface 5 of the treatment element 6 is changed. For example, if the user is a person who has weight (good body size), the elastic body 8 is greatly compressed and the backrest surface 5 sinks greatly backward, and the treatment element 6 protrudes forward from the backrest surface 5. The amount increases. And according to the treatment element 6 with a large forward protrusion amount, the pressure strength to the back of the user is increased, so that a relatively strong massage treatment tends to be preferred by a well-physically treated user. Become. On the other hand, if the person to be treated is a person who does not have a body weight (poor physique), the amount of compression of the elastic body 8 is small, and the sinking of the backrest surface 5 is also small. The forward protrusion amount of the is reduced. And according to the treatment element 6 with a small forward protrusion amount, the pressure strength to the back of the user is weakened so that a relatively weak massage treatment tends to be favored by the user with poor physique. Become.

このように、本例の椅子式マッサージ機１にあっては、背凭れ面５の構成材と施療ユニット７を配備した背凭れ基部４との間に弾性体８を介装するという簡単な構成で、背凭れ面５に凭れる被施療者の体重に応じて圧縮する弾性体８によって、背凭れ面５の前後位置、ひいては施療子６の背凭れ面５からの前方突出量を、被施療者の体格に適した強さのマッサージ施療を施し得るように自動的に決定できるのである。したがって、被施療者の好む強さのマッサージ施療を施すために、従来のように施療ユニット７に施療子６の前後位置設定機構を備えて構造の複雑化を招くようなことは回避できたものであり、椅子式マッサージ機１の構成を簡略にできてコストの低廉化を図ることができたのである。また、従来のようにその使用のたびに施療ユニット７の施療子６の前後位置設定機構を設定操作するという煩わしさを解消できたものであり、椅子式マッサージ機１に良好な使用性を備えることができたのである。   Thus, in the chair type massage machine 1 of this example, the simple structure of interposing the elastic body 8 between the constituent material of the backrest surface 5 and the backrest base 4 in which the treatment unit 7 is provided. Thus, the elastic body 8 compresses in accordance with the weight of the user who is leaning on the backrest surface 5, and the front and rear positions of the backrest surface 5, and thus the forward protrusion amount of the treatment element 6 from the backrest surface 5, is treated. It can be automatically determined so that massage treatment with strength suitable for the person's physique can be performed. Therefore, in order to perform the massage treatment of the strength preferred by the user, it is possible to avoid the conventional complicated structure of the treatment unit 7 provided with the front / rear position setting mechanism of the treatment element 6 in the treatment unit 7. Thus, the configuration of the chair type massage machine 1 can be simplified and the cost can be reduced. Moreover, the troublesomeness of setting and operating the front / rear position setting mechanism of the treatment element 6 of the treatment unit 7 every time it is used as in the prior art can be eliminated, and the chair type massage machine 1 has good usability. It was possible.

また、図２には本発明の実施の形態の他例を示す。なお、先例と同様の部位については同符号を付して説明を省き、異なる部位につき説明をしていく。本例は、図２（ａ）のように、前面カバー体９の背凭れ面５と背凭れ基部４内の本体フレーム１４（本例ではレール材１６）との間に弾性体８を介装させた例である。詳しくは、図２（ｂ）（ｃ）のように、弾性体８を構成するコイル状のバネはその内部に座屈防止軸１８を挿通させており、座屈防止軸１８は、一端が背凭れ面５に固定され、他端がレール材１６にストッパ１８ａによる抜け止めを伴って係止されている。   FIG. 2 shows another example of the embodiment of the present invention. In addition, about the site | part similar to a previous example, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted and it demonstrates about a different site | part. In this example, as shown in FIG. 2A, an elastic body 8 is interposed between the backrest surface 5 of the front cover body 9 and the main body frame 14 (the rail material 16 in this example) in the backrest base 4. This is an example. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C, the coiled spring constituting the elastic body 8 has a buckling prevention shaft 18 inserted through the spring, and one end of the buckling prevention shaft 18 is back. It is fixed to the rounded surface 5 and the other end is locked to the rail member 16 with a stopper 18a.

このように、本例の椅子式マッサージ機１にあっては、弾性体８が、背凭れ基部４と縁切りした前面カバー体９と、背凭れ基部４に有した椅子本体２の本体フレーム１４との間に介装されるので、弾性体８に被施療者の体重に応じた正確な圧縮動作を確保でき、被施療者の体格に適した強さのマッサージ施療をより正確に確保することができる、という利点をも有している。   Thus, in the chair type massage machine 1 of the present example, the elastic body 8 has the front cover body 9 cut off from the backrest base 4, and the main body frame 14 of the chair body 2 provided on the backrest base 4. Therefore, it is possible to ensure an accurate compression operation according to the weight of the user to the elastic body 8 and to ensure a massage treatment with a strength suitable for the physique of the user more accurately. It also has the advantage of being able to.

また、図３には本発明の実施の形態の更に他例を示す。本例は、背凭れ面５を複数の区域１０に区分けするように前面カバー体９を分割して複数の分割カバー体１９を形成し、各分割カバー体１９ごとに背凭れ基部４との間に弾性体８をそれぞれ介装し、背凭れ面５の各区域１０を個別に前後方向に位置可変にした例である。具体的に本例では、背凭れ面５は肩域１０ａ、背中域１０ｂ、腰域１０ｃの３つの区域１０に区分けされ、前面カバー体９は各区域１０に対応する肩部分割カバー体１９ａ、背中部分割カバー体１９ｂ、腰部分割カバー体１９ｃに分割されている。   FIG. 3 shows still another example of the embodiment of the present invention. In this example, the front cover body 9 is divided so as to divide the backrest surface 5 into a plurality of areas 10 to form a plurality of divided cover bodies 19, and each divided cover body 19 is separated from the backrest base 4. In this example, the elastic bodies 8 are respectively interposed, and the positions of the respective sections 10 of the backrest surface 5 are individually variable in the front-rear direction. Specifically, in this example, the backrest surface 5 is divided into three areas 10 of a shoulder area 10a, a back area 10b, and a waist area 10c, and the front cover body 9 is a shoulder divided cover body 19a corresponding to each area 10, It is divided into a back division cover body 19b and a waist division cover body 19c.

このように、背凭れ面５の各区域１０を対応する各弾性体８によって個別に前後方向に位置可変にしたことで、上記各区域１０における施療子６の背凭れ面５からの突出量を個別に決定できたものである。したがって、被施療者の背部にある肩部位や腰部位などの各部位に、たとえば各部位の身体のラインに基づくような別個の好適な強さのマッサージ施療を施すことができるのであって、椅子式マッサージ機１の使用感を向上できたものである。しかも、本例では各分割カバー体１９は縁切りされた状態となっていて互いを拘束せず、上記被施療者の背部の各部位への体格に正確に基づいた好適な強さでのマッサージ施療を確保できたものである。   Thus, by making each of the areas 10 of the backrest surface 5 individually variable in the front-rear direction by the corresponding elastic body 8, the amount of protrusion from the backrest surface 5 of the treatment element 6 in each of the areas 10 can be reduced. It can be decided individually. Therefore, a massage treatment with a separate suitable strength such as based on the body line of each part can be applied to each part such as a shoulder part or a waist part on the back of the user, The usability of the massage machine 1 can be improved. In addition, in this example, each divided cover body 19 is in a state of being cut off and does not restrain each other, and massage treatment with a suitable strength based on the physique to each part of the back part of the user to be treated. We were able to secure.

ここで、図４のように、各区域１０に対応した各弾性体８のバネ強さ（バネ定数）を各弾性体８の間で異ならせることも好ましい。たとえば図４（ａ）の例では、肩域１０ａに対応する肩用弾性体８ａ及び腰域１０ｃに対応する腰用弾性体８ｃのバネ定数を、背中域１０ｂに対応する背中用弾性体８ｂのバネ定数に比べ、小さく設定している。したがって、被施療者が背凭れ面５に凭れたときには、背凭れ面５の肩域１０ａ及び腰域１０ｃが背中域１０ｂに比べて後方への沈み込みが大きくて、背中域１０ｂに比べて肩域１０ａ及び腰域１０ｃでの施療子６の背凭れ面５からの突出量が大きくなり、被施療者の肩部位及び腰部位で背中部位に比べて強いマッサージ施療が行われるようにされている。なお、図４（ｂ）の例は、肩用弾性体８ａ及び腰用弾性体８ｃのバネ定数を、背中用弾性体８ｂのバネ定数に比べて大きく設定してあり、先例と反対の効果、つまり被施療者の肩部位及び腰部位で背中部位に比べて弱いマッサージ施療が行われるようにされている。このように、各区域１０に対応した各弾性体８のバネ強さ（バネ定数）を各自異ならせることによると、被施療者の背部にある肩部位や腰部位などの各部位に別個の好適な強さのマッサージ施療を狙って施すことができるのであって、椅子式マッサージ機１の使用感の更なる向上を図ることができるのである。   Here, as shown in FIG. 4, it is also preferable that the spring strength (spring constant) of each elastic body 8 corresponding to each section 10 is different among the elastic bodies 8. For example, in the example of FIG. 4A, the spring constants of the elastic body 8a for the shoulder corresponding to the shoulder region 10a and the elastic body 8c for the waist corresponding to the waist region 10c are set as the spring constant of the elastic body 8b for the back corresponding to the back region 10b. It is set smaller than the constant. Accordingly, when the user is drowning on the backrest surface 5, the shoulder area 10a and the waist area 10c of the backrest face 5 are more sunk backward than the back area 10b, and the shoulder area is larger than the back area 10b. The amount of protrusion of the treatment element 6 from the backrest surface 5 at 10a and the waist region 10c is increased, so that a stronger massage treatment is performed at the shoulder portion and waist portion of the user compared to the back portion. In the example of FIG. 4B, the spring constants of the shoulder elastic body 8a and the waist elastic body 8c are set to be larger than the spring constant of the back elastic body 8b. A massage treatment that is weaker than the back part is performed on the shoulder part and the waist part of the user. Thus, according to the spring strength (spring constant) of each elastic body 8 corresponding to each section 10 being different from each other, it is preferable to separately provide each part such as a shoulder part and a waist part on the back of the user. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a massage treatment with a high strength, and to further improve the feeling of use of the chair type massage machine 1.

なお、図示はしないが、複数の分割カバー体１９に分割構成しない図１のような前面カバー体９において、背凭れ面５の各区域１０に対応する弾性体８のバネ定数を異ならせてもよい。これによると、背凭れ面５の各区域１０は他の区域１０による拘束は多少受けるものの、被施療者の背部にある肩部位や腰部位などの各部位に別個の強さのマッサージ施療を施すことはできるのである。   Although not shown, in the front cover body 9 as shown in FIG. 1 that is not divided into a plurality of divided cover bodies 19, the spring constants of the elastic bodies 8 corresponding to the respective areas 10 of the backrest surface 5 may be varied. Good. According to this, although each area 10 of the backrest surface 5 is somewhat restrained by the other areas 10, massage treatment with different strength is applied to each part such as a shoulder part or a waist part on the back of the user. It can be done.

また、図５には本発明の実施の形態の更に他例を示す。本例では、背凭れ面５の構成材として、先例のような比較的剛性のある前面カバー体９の代わりに、背凭れ基部４の被覆材である弾性又は撓み性のあるシートカバー２０で構成させている。そして、表面が背凭れ面５を構成する部位のシートカバー２０の裏面と背凭れ基部４との間に弾性体８が介装されている。本例の場合、ゴム体である長尺ブロック状の一対の弾性体８が、背凭れ基部４の左右中央にある溝状の施療ユニット７の走行部２１の左右両側縁に沿ってそれぞれ上下に亙るように配置されている。本例にあっても、先の図１の例と同様の作用効果を備えることができるのである。ここで、上記長尺ブロック状の一対の弾性体８は、図６のようにそれぞれ上下方向で複数箇所に分割して、各区域用弾性体８ａ〜８ｂにすることも好ましい。この例でも、先の図３の例と同様の作用効果を備えることができるのである。   FIG. 5 shows still another example of the embodiment of the present invention. In this example, instead of the relatively rigid front cover body 9 as in the previous example, the constituent material of the backrest surface 5 is an elastic or flexible seat cover 20 that is a covering material for the backrest base 4. I am letting. An elastic body 8 is interposed between the back surface of the seat cover 20 and the backrest base portion 4 where the surface constitutes the backrest surface 5. In the case of this example, a pair of long block-like elastic bodies 8 that are rubber bodies are vertically moved along the left and right side edges of the running portion 21 of the groove-shaped treatment unit 7 at the center of the backrest base 4. It is arranged to crawl. Even in this example, it is possible to provide the same operational effects as the example of FIG. Here, it is also preferable that the pair of long block-shaped elastic bodies 8 is divided into a plurality of portions in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 6 to form elastic bodies 8a to 8b for each section. Also in this example, the same operation and effect as in the example of FIG. 3 can be provided.
