本発明を実施の形態の一例に基づいて詳述すると、マッサージ機は図２に示すように、椅子４の座部４０の前端に軸４１によって回動自在に連結された支持体１０と、この支持体１０に軸１１によって連結されたベース１２と、一面にフラットな足載せ面１３を備えたベース１２の他面側に設けた２つのマッサージ部２，３とからなる。 The present invention will be described in detail based on an example of the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the massage machine includes a support body 10 rotatably connected to a front end of a seat portion 40 of a chair 4 by a shaft 41, and It comprises a base 12 connected to a support 10 by a shaft 11 and two massage parts 2 and 3 provided on the other side of the base 12 having a flat footrest surface 13 on one surface.

上記支持体１０は、伸縮アクチュエータＡによって軸４１を中心に上下に回動するものであり、ベース１２は軸１１を中心に１８０°回転させることで、図示のマッサージ部２，３が表面に位置している状態から、フラットな足載せ面１３が表面に位置している状態に切り換えることができるものとなっている。 The support 10 is rotated up and down around a shaft 41 by a telescopic actuator A, and the base 12 is rotated 180 ° around the shaft 11 so that the illustrated massage parts 2 and 3 are positioned on the surface. It is possible to switch from a state in which the flat footrest surface 13 is located on the surface.

上記両マッサージ部２，３のうち、座部４０寄りのマッサージ部２は、脚における下腿部のマッサージ用、他方のマッサージ部３は足先部のマッサージ用であり、マッサージ部３は図１に示すように上記ベース１２に軸３５で連結されて所定範囲内で回動自在となっている回動ベース１４を備えて、ばね３６による付勢で図中矢印方向に付勢されている。   Among the massage parts 2 and 3, the massage part 2 near the seat part 40 is for massaging the lower leg in the leg, the other massage part 3 is for massaging the toe part, and the massage part 3 is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the rotary base 14 is connected to the base 12 by a shaft 35 and is rotatable within a predetermined range, and is biased in the direction of the arrow in the figure by the bias of a spring 36.

マッサージ部２は図１に示すようにほぼ平行に並ぶ左右一対の溝２０，２０を有しており、下腿部が嵌るこれら溝２０，２０は夫々溝２０の底部となるところにエアバッグ２１が配され、左右の側壁部分にエアバッグ２２，２２が配されている。   As shown in FIG. 1, the massage part 2 has a pair of left and right grooves 20, 20 that are arranged substantially in parallel, and these grooves 20, 20 into which the lower leg part fits are respectively airbags 21 at the bottoms of the grooves 20. The airbags 22 and 22 are disposed on the left and right side wall portions.

足先部のマッサージ用であるマッサージ部３もやはり足先が嵌る溝３０を回動ベース１４が備えており、溝３０の底部にはエアバッグ３１が、両側壁部分には夫々エアバッグ３２，３２が配されている。   The rotation part 14 is also provided with the groove | channel 30 in which the foot tip fits also in the massage part 3 for massage of a foot tip part, The airbag 31 is provided in the bottom part of the groove | channel 30, and the airbag 32 is provided in both side wall parts, respectively. 32 is arranged.

今、座部４０に座ってマッサージ機１におけるマッサージ部２の溝２０，２０に下腿部を嵌めるとともにマッサージ部３の溝３０に足先を嵌めれば、溝２０の底部に下腿部のふくらはぎが接し、溝３０の底部に足裏部分が接する。   Now, when sitting on the seat 40 and fitting the lower leg part into the grooves 20 and 20 of the massage part 2 in the massage machine 1 and fitting the tip of the foot into the groove 30 of the massage part 3, The calf is in contact, and the sole part is in contact with the bottom of the groove 30.

そして各エアバッグにエアを供給すれば、溝２０の左右側壁に位置するエアバッグ２２，２２は下腿部を左右から圧迫するとともに、下腿部の前面側に被さるようになるために、下腿部を溝２０の奥の方に押し込む力も発揮する。   If air is supplied to each airbag, the airbags 22 and 22 located on the left and right side walls of the groove 20 press the lower leg part from the left and right sides and cover the front side of the lower leg part. The force which pushes a thigh part into the back of the groove | channel 20 is also exhibited.

溝２０の底部に配したエアバッグ２１は、その膨張で下腿部のふくらはぎを前方へ押圧することになるが、この力に対して、エアバッグ２２による上記力が対抗するために、下腿部が溝２０から押し出されてしまうことがなく、エアバッグ２１によるふくらはぎに対する圧力が有効に作用する。   The airbag 21 disposed at the bottom of the groove 20 presses the calf of the lower leg forward due to its expansion, but the force by the airbag 22 opposes this force. The part is not pushed out of the groove 20, and the pressure against the calf by the airbag 21 acts effectively.

マッサージ部３におけるエアバッグ３１，３２へのエアの供給でエアバッグ３１，３２が膨張すれば、エアバッグ３１が足裏を押し上げ、エアバッグ３２が足先部を左右から挟持するとともに足の甲の部分に被さるエアバッグ３２がエアバッグ３１による押し上げで足先部が浮いてしまうことを防ぐ。   If the airbags 31 and 32 are inflated by supplying air to the airbags 31 and 32 in the massage unit 3, the airbag 31 pushes up the soles of the feet, and the airbag 32 clamps the toe portion from the left and right, and the instep of the foot This prevents the airbag 32 covering the portion from being lifted up by the airbag 31 to lift the toe portion.

ここにおいて、上記ふくらはぎの押圧を有効に行うにあたっては、下腿が溝２０から抜け出てしまわないようにすることが重要である。このために、マッサージ部２については、溝２０の底部に位置するエアバッグ２１と、左右の両側壁に位置するエアバッグ２２とは別個に膨張収縮させることができるように、エア供給用のポンプＰに対して異なるバルブＶを介して接続している。なお、各エアバッグの収縮はバルブＶを通じた排気で行う。図２中のＣは各エアバッグの膨張収縮及び前記アクチュエータ５の動作を制御する制御回路、６は操作器である。   Here, in order to effectively press the calf, it is important to prevent the lower leg from coming out of the groove 20. For this reason, the air supply pump is provided so that the air bag 21 located at the bottom of the groove 20 and the air bags 22 located on the left and right side walls can be separately inflated and shrunk. It is connected to P via a different valve V. Each airbag is contracted by exhausting through the valve V. In FIG. 2, C is a control circuit for controlling the inflation and contraction of each airbag and the operation of the actuator 5, and 6 is an operating device.

そして、下腿部のマッサージを行うにあたっては、側壁部のエアバッグ２２を膨張させた後、底面のエアバッグ２１を膨張させるものとし、またエアバッグ２１を収縮させた後、エアバッグ２２を収縮させるものとしてある。つまり、下腿部が溝２０から抜け出ることがないようにエアバッグ２２で規制している状態でエアバッグ２１によるふくらはぎの押圧がなされるようにしているものである。   When the lower leg is massaged, the airbag 22 on the side wall is inflated, then the airbag 21 on the bottom is inflated, and after the airbag 21 is deflated, the airbag 22 is deflated. There is something to let you. That is, the calf is pressed by the airbag 21 in a state where the lower leg is regulated by the airbag 22 so as not to come out of the groove 20.

伸縮アクチュエータ５によって支持体１０を上方に回動させ、マッサージ部２の溝２０が上方を向くようにしている時、つまりは溝２０に嵌めた脚が水平に近い状態となる場合は、脚の自重が働くために、側壁部のエアバッグ２２の膨張を開始させた後、底面のエアバッグ２１を膨張させるものとし、またエアバッグ２１の収縮を開始させた後、エアバッグ２２を収縮させるものとしてもよい。 When the support body 10 is rotated upward by the telescopic actuator 5 so that the groove 20 of the massage part 2 faces upward, that is, when the leg fitted in the groove 20 is almost horizontal, In order for the dead weight to work, after inflating the airbag 22 on the side wall, the airbag 21 on the bottom surface is inflated, and after the airbag 21 starts to contract, the airbag 22 is contracted It is good.

また、このマッサージ機においては、エアバッグの膨張収縮タイミングや支持体１０の回動のタイミングを制御回路Ｃにて制御することで、足首や大腿部のストレッチ動作も行うことができるようにしてある。   In this massage machine, the control circuit C controls the inflation / deflation timing of the airbag and the rotation timing of the support 10 so that the ankle and thigh can be stretched. is there.

すなわち、図３(a)に示すように、マッサージ部３のエアバッグ３１，３２を膨張させて足先を固定するとともに、マッサージ部２のエアバッグ２１，２２を膨張させておき、この後、下腿部の側面を押圧しているエアバッグ２２を収縮させたならば、図３(b)に示すように下腿部は膨張したままのエアバッグ２１によって前方へ押し出されることになる。この時、人体の脚の膝関節の位置も前方にずれる（ｘ２＞ｘ１）ことになり、座部４０に座っている人体の大腿部が伸ばされることになる。図４はこの際のエアバッグ２１，２２，３１，３２の動作のタイムチャートであり、図から明らかなように、まずエアバッグ２２を膨張させて下腿部の側面を押圧することで膝の関節の位置を固定し、次いでマッサージ部３のエアバッグ３１，３２を膨張させて足先を固定し、この状態で、ふくらはぎに接するエアバッグ２１を膨張させ、この後、エアバッグ２２を収縮させている。図３（及び図５）中のハッチングを施したエアバッグは膨張中であることを示している。 That is, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the airbags 31 and 32 of the massage unit 3 are inflated to fix the toes, and the airbags 21 and 22 of the massage unit 2 are inflated. If the airbag 22 that presses the side of the lower leg is contracted, the lower leg is pushed forward by the airbag 21 that remains inflated as shown in FIG. At this time, the position of the knee joint of the leg of the human body is also shifted forward (x2> x1), and the thigh of the human body sitting on the seat 40 is extended. FIG. 4 is a time chart of the operation of the airbags 21, 22, 31, 32 at this time. As is clear from the figure, the airbag 22 is first inflated to press the side surface of the lower leg portion. The position of the joint is fixed, and then the airbags 31 and 32 of the massage unit 3 are inflated to fix the toes. In this state, the airbag 21 in contact with the calf is inflated, and then the airbag 22 is contracted. ing. The hatched airbag in FIG. 3 (and FIG. 5) indicates that it is inflating.

図３(a)に示す状態から下腿部の側面を押圧しているエアバッグ２２を収縮させ、更にアクチュエータＡを縮めることで図５に示すように脚の足先が下方に下げたならば、膝関節の位置は更に前方にずれる（ｘ３＞ｘ２＞ｘ１）ことになるために、大腿部のストレッチをより強く行うことができる。図６にこの動作のタイムチャートを示す。なお、ここではエアバッグ２２の排気収縮の後にアクチュエータＡによる下方回動を行っているが、この順序に限定されるものではなく、図７に示すように、下方回動の後にエアバッグ２２を収縮させたり、下方回動とエアバッグ２２の収縮とを同時に行ってもよい。   If the airbag 22 that presses the side of the lower leg is deflated from the state shown in FIG. 3 (a) and the actuator A is further contracted to lower the leg toes downward as shown in FIG. Since the position of the knee joint is further shifted forward (x3> x2> x1), the thigh can be stretched more strongly. FIG. 6 shows a time chart of this operation. Here, the air bag 22 is rotated downward by the actuator A after the exhaust gas is contracted. However, the order is not limited to this order, and as shown in FIG. It may be contracted, or the downward rotation and the contraction of the airbag 22 may be performed simultaneously.

ストレッチについては、このほか、図８に示すように、支持体１０を上方に回動させた状態（足先をあげた状態）で足先をエアバッグ３１，３２の膨張で固定し、次いでエアバッグ２２を膨張させることなく、ふくらはぎに接するエアバッグ２１を膨張させて下腿部を押し上げ、この状態で支持体１０を下方に回動させるようにしてもよく、図９に示すように、支持体１０を上方に回動させた状態（足先をあげた状態）で足先をエアバッグ３１，３２の膨張で固定し、次いで支持体１０を下方に回動させた後にふくらはぎに接するエアバッグ２１を膨張させるようにしてもよい。もちろん、下方への回動とエアバッグ２１の膨張を同時に行ってもよい。   In addition to stretching, as shown in FIG. 8, the toes are fixed by inflation of the airbags 31 and 32 in a state in which the support 10 is rotated upward (with the toes raised), and then the air Without inflating the bag 22, the airbag 21 in contact with the calf may be inflated to push up the lower leg, and the support 10 may be rotated downward in this state, as shown in FIG. In the state where the body 10 is rotated upward (in the state where the toes are raised), the airbag 10 is fixed by the inflation of the airbags 31 and 32, and then the airbag 10 is in contact with the calf after the support 10 is rotated downward. 21 may be inflated. Of course, the downward rotation and the inflation of the airbag 21 may be performed simultaneously.

いずれにしても、下腿部用のマッサージ部２と足先部用のマッサージ部３とを利用して大腿部の大腿筋を伸ばすストレッチも行うことができるものである。   In any case, it is possible to stretch the thigh muscles of the thigh using the lower leg massage part 2 and the toe part massage part 3.

マッサージ部２，３を備えたマッサージ機を座部４０の先端側に有している椅子４は、その背もたれ部に人体背面のマッサージ用のマッサージ機構が設けられているマッサージ椅子であることが好ましい。   The chair 4 having a massage machine including the massage parts 2 and 3 on the distal end side of the seat part 40 is preferably a massage chair in which a massage mechanism for massage on the back of the human body is provided on the backrest part. .
