Abstract

The present invention provides a massaging machine that can be used no matter the body size of the users, and can control the total height at lower. The massaging machine is a chair type massaging machine configured with a massaging mechanism (14) in a backrest (1). The backrest (1) is formed in that the waist support part is bent, and the front part of the backrest (1) and the upper part of a base (2) are in forms continuous along a curve. No boundary is between the base and the backrest; even the users deviate from the seats, and the back is leaned on the backrest to cause the part from back to waist to be adhere to the front part of the backrest.

Description

  The present invention relates to a massage machine, particularly a chair-type massage machine.

  Various types of chair-type massage machines with a built-in massage mechanism in the back of the chair have been provided in the past, but this type of massage machine has traditionally been clearly divided into a seat and a backrest. When the user sits on the seating surface of the seat and deposits his back on the backrest, the massage mechanism built in the backrest massages from the shoulder to the waist on the back of the user.

  And in the conventional chair type massage machine, the frame of the backrest is formed almost linearly, and the user sits deeply in the seat with the back stretched, so that the shoulder to the waist touches the front of the backrest In addition, massage by a massage mechanism built in the backrest can perform massage from the shoulder portion to the waist portion of the user.

  In this case, the backrest must have a length that matches the physique of the user who is assumed to be tall, and the overall height of the chair will inevitably increase, and this will be present in the room. There is a problem that the feeling is too great and the presence of pressure is present, and the aesthetics are easily lost.

  This invention is invented in view of said conventional problem, Comprising: It is a subject to provide the massage machine which can be used regardless of a user's physique, and can also hold down total height low. To do.

In order to solve the above problems, the massage machine according to the present invention is a chair-type massage machine in which a massage mechanism is arranged in the backrest, and the backrest has a curved back support portion and a front surface of the backrest and an upper surface of the seat portion. It has a shape that is continuous with a curved curve that is a curved concave surface, and the massage mechanism is movable up and down along the frame within the backrest, and a waist support portion with a curved backrest in the frame, and The corresponding portion is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane by an angle θ, and the up and down movement trajectory of the massage mechanism is characterized in that it is away from the front of the back on the side closer to the seat of the back .

  There is no boundary between the seat part and the backrest, and even when the seating position of the user is shifted, when the back is left behind, the backrest can be in close contact with the front of the backrest.

In addition, the massaging mechanism that can move up and down along the frame within the backrest is tilted by an angle θ with respect to the horizontal plane, so the movement trajectory of the backrest is curved because the portion corresponding to the curved back support portion of the backrest is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. Since it is separated from the front of the back on the side closer to the seat, it is possible to eliminate the treatment element from hitting the hip bone and the buttocks.

  In addition, it is preferable in terms of sitting comfort that a cushioning material is disposed on the front surface of the backrest near the seat.

  Further, it is more preferable to provide a cover material that covers the back of the back and the upper surface of the seat so as not to show the boundary between the back and the seat.

  The backrest has a built-in panel with an opening through which the massager's treatment element passes, and the panel receiving the user's load has a notch for escaping the user's head at the top of the opening. It is preferable to provide the device so as not to put a burden on the user's neck. In particular, it is more preferable to place a cushioning material in the notch because the head hit can be softened.

  Furthermore, it is preferable to provide a footrest that is positioned on the front side of the seat and receives the user's feet at a position where the knee position of the user is lifted from the upper surface of the seat. Depending on the seating position, the user may fall off and force may be applied to the abdominal muscles, making it impossible to relax. However, such a situation will not be caused.

  In addition, having a detachable placing cushion arranged on the front of the backrest is advantageous for improving the sitting comfort when not used as a massage machine and giving the appearance as a normal sofa, It is possible to obtain both a backrest angle suitable for watching TV and the like and a backrest angle suitable for massage.

  In particular, when the placing cushion has a size and shape that covers the front surface of the backrest, the placing cushion itself has an appearance that becomes a member of the sofa. It will be advantageous.

In the present invention, the user can adjust the treatment range by shifting the body because the user can make the part from the back to the waist closely contact the backrest even if the seating position is shifted. Yes, even tall people can receive massage without having heights tailored to tall people. Along with this, there is no need to increase the overall height, and there can be no pressure in the room. Moreover, the massage mechanism treatment element does not hit the hip bone or the buttocks.

It is a schematic side view of an example of an embodiment of the invention. It is a side view which shows the internal structure of a backrest same as the above. It is a perspective view of the internal structure of a backrest same as the above. An example in which the above-mentioned placing cushion is arranged is shown, (a) is a perspective view, and (b) is a schematic side view.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the massage machine includes a backrest 1, a seat 2, and a support 3 that supports both, and A frame 10 which is gently curved is provided in a backrest 1 which is composed of a footrest 4 which can be stored below the seat 2 and whose front surface forms an obtuse angle with respect to the upper surface of the seat 2. In addition, a massage mechanism 14 including a treatment element 15 is provided. The massage mechanism 14 incorporates a self-propelled means for moving along the frame 10 and a drive means for causing the treatment element 15 to perform a massaging and / or hitting massage operation. Massage is performed on the back surface of the user held on the backrest 1 by the treatment element 15 positioned on the side.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the backrest 1 is arranged on the frame 10 with a panel 11 made of synthetic resin having an opening 12 serving as a space for allowing the treatment element 15 to pass through. The entire panel 11 is formed by covering with a cover (not shown) formed of cloth and partially provided with a cushioning material. The part that will support the waist of the back is curved with a large radius of curvature, so that the lower part of the front of the backrest 1 continues to form a gentle curve on the upper surface of the seat 2 and the back of the seat 2 The boundary with the part 1 has a shape that does not actually exist.

  When sitting on this massage machine and receiving treatment, the user may sit so that his / her waist is at an arbitrary position on a continuous surface of the backrest 1 and the upper surface of the seat 2. If you are a tall person, you can sit with your waist close to the seat, so that your shoulders can be positioned within the operating range of the treatment element 15. Conversely, if you are a short user, your hip position is The head can be positioned at the upper end of the backrest 1 by sitting so as to be in the deep part of the part 2.

  Moreover, even if the seating position is shifted back and forth as described above, since the gentle curved concave surface is drawn from the front of the backrest 1 to the upper surface of the seat 2, the user can gently roll the back from the shoulder to the waist. Therefore, depending on the sitting position, the waist does not float from the front of the backrest 1 depending on the sitting position, as in the conventional chair type massage machine. The massage from the shoulder to the waist by the treatment element 15 of the massage mechanism 14 can be performed without any problem.

  As described above, since the massage can be performed even if the seating position is deviated, this massage machine does not need to make the backrest 1 long in accordance with the tall person. In addition to being able to suppress, it is not necessary to lengthen the front and back length, so it does not become a big presence that feels a sense of pressure in the room of the home, it has the same presence as a normal sofa can do.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, cushion materials 16 located on the panel 11 are arranged on the left and right sides of the upper end of the end portion of the backrest 1 on the seat 2 side. For this reason, even if the user's buttocks are located near the seat 2 of the panel 11, the buttocks do not hit the panel 11 and the seat is comfortable. The cushion material 16 is covered simultaneously with the backrest 1 by the above-described cover.

  Further, the portion of the backrest 1 near the seat 2 is a substantially horizontal surface similar to the upper surface of the seat 2 due to the arrangement of the cushion material 16, but serves as a movement guide for the massage mechanism 14. The frame 10 remains inclined with respect to the horizontal plane by an angle θ. For this reason, when the massage mechanism 14 moves to the lower end of the frame 10, the treatment element 15 is the upper surface of the backrest 1 near the seat 2, that is, the cushion material. The distance from the upper surface of 16 is the distance indicated by S in the figure. For this reason, the treatment element 15 does not hit the buttocks.

  In addition, since the front end surface of the cushion material 16 is formed as an inclined surface and the rear end surface of the seat portion 2 is an inclined surface opposite to the inclined front end surface of the cushion material 16, the seat portion 2 and the cushion material 16 There are no steps on the border and no difference in cushioning.

  By the way, although the backrest 1 and the seat portion 2 are drawn in a continuous surface, the seat portion 2 and the backrest 1 are formed as separate parts and combined on this surface, so that the boundary line is It appears in the table, and this boundary line gives the user an impression that the seating position is limited.

  For this reason, the cover material 5 which covers the backrest 1 front surface and the seat portion 2 upper surface over the both is disposed here, and the boundary line is hidden from the eyes of the user. The cover material 5 is thinly formed so as not to prevent the treatment element 15 from massaging the back surface of the user even when the cover material 5 is worn, and the entire surface has the same texture. ing.

  The cover that covers the backrest 1 has a cushioning portion that covers the panel 11 portion, and a portion that is located at the opening 12 and is located between the user's back and the treatment element 15. Although it is made of a different material, it creates a peculiar appearance to the massage machine. However, since the front part of the backrest 1 of the cover is entirely covered with the cover material 5, the massage machine is also improved in appearance. It can be made not to feel. Here, the cover material 5 is detachable from the backrest 1 and the seat portion 2 so that it can respond to washing or replacement with another design. For example, the cover member 5 is integrated with the seat portion 2. It may be formed.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the massage machine further places a cushion 17 on the cover material 5, thereby improving cushioning and preventing the panel 11 from dropping into the opening 12. Improvement. As the placing cushion 17, it is preferable that it can be stably installed on the backrest 1 by having a size and shape that substantially covers the front surface of the backrest 1. In addition, by keeping the gap between the backrest 1 and the placing cushion 17 so that the placing cushion 17 itself becomes a part of the sofa, the appearance when the massage is not performed is further similar to that of a normal sofa. It will not be replaced.

  Furthermore, the cross section can be raised at a point close to the waist so that the user can easily watch and read TV while keeping his head raised rather than having his back directly attached to the backrest 1. It is preferable to have a shape, that is, to reduce the radius of curvature from the backrest 1 to the seat 2 determined by the panel 11 (and the cushion material 16). It can be adjusted depending on whether or not the cushion 17 is placed by placing a comfortable state suitable for massage and a state suitable for watching TV.

  The upper end of the opening 12 of the panel 11 in the backrest 1 is continuous with a notch 13 provided at the upper end of the panel 11 as is apparent from FIG. When the user's head is positioned at the upper end of the backrest 1, the notch 13 is used to relieve the user's neck folding angle by allowing the head to escape backward. A cushioning cushioning material 18 is arranged on the edge of the notch 13 so as to improve the hit feeling.

  In FIG. 1, the footrest 4 positioned on the front side of the seat 2 can be stored below the seat 2 when not in use. Or, when a user sitting on the backrest 1 near the seat 2 places his / her feet, the user's knee position can be arranged at a height and position that will float above the top of the seat. ing.

  When sitting on this massage machine where the seating position is arbitrary, there may be a feeling of falling off and force may be applied to the abdominal muscles. Since it floats from the front end of the part 2, the above-mentioned feeling of slipping can be eliminated, and accordingly, the abdominal muscles are not stressed, so that a relaxed state can be obtained. At this time, the effect is further enhanced by setting the knee angle to be substantially equal to or greater than a right angle.
