Description

  The present invention relates to a massage machine, and more particularly to a massage machine capable of performing effective pelvic massage.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a chair type massage machine in which a backrest portion is provided so as to be reclining freely at a rear portion of a seat portion on which a user sits. It is equipped with a mechanical treatment part that can be moved up and down on the back surface of the back part so that the shoulder, back, and waist of the user can be massaged by kneading, hitting, and pressing with a fir ball. It is what.

  In recent years, an air-type treatment unit that inflates and contracts an airbag and massages a treatment portion has been widely used. In addition to being arranged on the backrest and seat, the airbag is called a so-called ottoman provided on the armrests provided on the left and right sides of the seat and on the front side of the seat in recent chair type massage machines. It is arrange | positioned at the leg mounting part. And the massage machine which combined this air type treatment part and the mechanical type treatment part has become mainstream in recent years.

  On the other hand, it has been pointed out that correction of pelvic distortion is important from the field of manipulative treatment and the field of health care. However, although the chair-type massage machine mentioned above has been able to effectively massage every part of the body, it can correct the pelvic distortion by effectively massaging and stretching the pelvis. It was difficult to do.

  This is because the pelvis of the user seated on the chair is supported across the backrest and the seat, so that the conventional placement of the treatment part of the massage machine has a sufficient stretch feeling of the pelvis part. It was thought that this was caused by the inability to obtain.

  Therefore, an airbag that is installed on a backrest and the seat and presses the human body by inflation and contraction, and a control unit that controls the airbag to inflate and contract, and the airbag includes the backrest and the airbag A massage machine that is integrally formed over both seats has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2008-200366 A

  However, like the massage machine of patent document 1, if an airbag is integrally formed over both a backrest part and a seat part, it is difficult to set it as the structure which actually can be used. In particular, since the backrest part is reclining, the airbag may be stretched or loosened depending on the angle of the backrest part, and if it is loosened, the pressing force at the time of inflation becomes insufficient. There is a possibility that the function cannot be performed.

  Above all, when a pelvic massage is performed, the backrest part must be tilted to some extent in order to keep the center of the airbag tightly inflated.

  However, in such a posture, the posture of the user himself / herself tends to shift up and down, which inevitably causes a problem that it is difficult to specify the pelvic position. In particular, since the treatment for the pelvis is adversely affected if the treatment position is wrong, accurate positioning of the pelvis is extremely important. In addition, when the backrest part is tilted, the posture of the user becomes a posture that warps around the airbag, so that the load on the user is increased.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a massage machine that enables effective pelvic massage in a sitting state.

  (1) The present invention provides a seat, a massage machine capable of performing massage on a user who is sitting, a second airbag for pressing the pelvis of the user from the left and right sides, A third airbag for pressing the buttocks of the user; and a control means for controlling the inflating and deflating operations of the second airbag and the third airbag to perform pelvic massage, When the pelvic massage is executed, the control means performs an operation of supplying and inflating the second airbag to tighten the pelvis.

(2) In the massage machine according to the above (1), the operation of tightening the pelvis is to supply and inflate a third airbag to lift the user to increase the height of the pelvis. It is characterized by being performed after the proper position.

  (3) In the massage machine according to the above (1), the operation of tightening the pelvis is to supply and inflate the third airbag in a state of supplying air to the second airbag. Features.

  According to the present invention, an operation of tightening the pelvis can be executed.

  Further, body-side treatment portions 15 and 15 are disposed at positions approximately above the armrest portions 13 and 13 at a substantially central position in the height direction of the backrest portion 12.

  A plurality of airbags 3 to be described in detail below are arranged at various locations including the seat portion 11 and the backrest portion 12, and the massaging balls 51 and the airbag 3 are attached to the patient to be seated. The various types of massage used can be performed.

  The airbag 3 provided in the massage machine includes a plurality of airbags 3 described below.

  The backrest portion 12 includes a first airbag 31 disposed on the front side of the backrest portion 12 as the airbag 3 that presses the user from the back side. In the upper position of the first airbag 31, a back airbag 30 and an eighth airbag 39 are provided as the airbag 3 that presses the back of the user. Moreover, as the airbag 3 provided in the seat part 11, the 2nd airbag 32 which presses a to-be-treated person from the right and left side, the 3rd airbag 33 to press a to-be-treated person's buttocks, and sat down A fourth airbag 34 that pushes up the thigh of the user is provided. In addition, as the other airbag 3, the legrest portion 14 is provided with a fifth airbag 35 and a sixth airbag 36, and the body-side treatment portions 15 and 15 have a seventh airbag 38. Is provided.

  As shown in the figure, the first airbag 31 is composed of a pair of left and right first airbags 31L and 31R, and is arranged so as to be as close as possible to the seat portion 11 in this embodiment. By the way, as for the 1st airbag 31L, 31R, these each ends are connected with the seat part 12 substantially. In other words, the first airbag 31 is supported on the seat portion 11 side while being disposed on the backrest portion 12 side.

  The back airbag 30 includes a pair of left and right back middle airbags 30aL and 30aR and back upper airbags 30bL and 30bR.

  Furthermore, in the massage machine according to the present embodiment, the back support plate 16 is bridged across the vertically long hole 12a at a substantially central position of the backrest portion 12, and the eighth airbag 39 is disposed on the back support plate 16. Has been established. With the eighth airbag 39, it is possible to perform an air massage by pressing the vicinity of the spine of the user who has not been able to contact the airbag until now.

  In addition, since it is set as the structure provided with the 8th airbag, the lowest point position of the raising / lowering range of the mechanical massage unit 5 is a position right above the 8th airbag 39 in this massage machine.

  The second airbag 32 includes left and right second airbags 32L and 32R, and is disposed inside the left and right armrest portions 13 and 13, respectively. Further, in the massage machine according to the present embodiment, the left and right second airbags 32L and 32R support one end on the seat 11 side, while the other end abuts on an armrest provided on the seat, It arrange | positions in the state inclined so that a clearance gap might be formed between the said seat parts.

  The left and right second airbags 32L and 32R each have a double airbag structure. That is, the left second airbag 32L has a configuration in which the left inner second airbag 32La and the left outer second airbag 32Lb are superposed, and the right second airbag 32R includes the right inner second airbag 32Ra. The right outer second airbag 32Rb is superposed.

  The third airbag 33 presses the buttocks of the user, and is positioned on the backrest 12 side relative to the fourth airbag 34 that presses the thigh of the user. Here, the third airbag 33 is composed of a pair of left and right third airbags 33L and 33R. The fourth airbag 34 includes left and right fourth airbags 34L and 34R.

  Further, each of the left and right leg receiving portions 14a, 14a formed in a half-cylindrical shape of the leg mounting portion 14 is provided with a fifth airbag 35 on the rear side surface of the user's calf, and the opening side Sixth airbags 36 and 37 are disposed on the left and right side walls of the first and second sidewalls. The fifth airbag 35 is composed of a pair of left and right fifth airbags 35L and 35R, and the sixth airbags 36 and 37 are composed of sixth inner and outer airbags 36a, 36b, 37a and 37b, respectively. ing.

  In addition, the left and right body-side treatment portions 15 and 15 provided on the backrest portion 12 are each provided with a seventh airbag 38 so as to be able to press the body side of the user sufficiently and sufficiently. A gentle and thorough body massage is possible.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the massage machine having the above-described configuration includes a plurality of actuators and a control unit 4 that controls these operations.

  As the actuator, the mechanical massage unit 5 for moving back and forth or swinging the kneading balls 51 to drive the massage is realized, and the mechanical massage unit motor M1 for moving the massage up and down is moved up and down. There are a mechanical massage unit elevating and lowering motor M2, a reclining motor M3 for reclining the backrest 12, an air pump P for inflating and contracting the airbag 3, and the like.

  Further, as shown in the figure, the control unit 4 is equipped with a computer having a CPU 40 and a storage device such as a ROM 41 and a RAM 42. The CPU 40 receives a command signal from an operation unit such as a remote controller (not shown). Therefore, various kinds of massage can be performed by controlling the above-mentioned various actuators.

  The massage machine can also perform course massage such as an automatic massage course. When a course massage command signal is input from the operation unit, the CPU 40 controls the various actuators according to various massage control programs stored in the ROM 41 to perform various massages set in a predetermined order in advance. It can be executed automatically and continuously.

  In particular, in this massage machine, the expansion and contraction operations of the first airbag 31 that presses the user to be treated from the back side and the second airbag 32 that presses the user from the left and right sides are controlled. In addition to alleviating and preventing low back pain, pelvic massage that can be expected to improve the function of internal organs can be performed.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the first airbag 31 is disposed at the lowermost portion of the backrest portion 12 so as to be close to the seat portion 11, and the second airbag 32 is seated at its lower end. The second airbag 32 (left and right second airbags 32L, 32R) is connected to the seat portion 11 while being connected to the portion 11 and tilted so that the upper end thereof is in contact with the inner surface of the armrest portion 13. A gap Q is also formed between the armrest 13 and the armrest 13. That is, as illustrated, a space Q having a substantially triangular shape in front view is formed between the second airbag 32, the seat portion 11, and the armrest portion 13.

  Moreover, as shown in the drawing, the lower end of the first airbag 31 of the massage machine is as close as possible to the seat portion 11, and the rear end of the second airbag 32 is the backrest portion 12. Since it is slightly close, it is suitable for pressing the pelvis of the user.

  With this configuration, in this type of chair-type massage machine, the user simply sits on the seat 11 in a natural state, and as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the position of the pelvis and the first air The bags 31L and 31R and the left and right second airbags 32L and 32R can be matched, and the user can effectively perform pelvic massage while sitting in a comfortable posture.

  In such a configuration, the control unit 4 stands up the backrest 12 prior to the start of pelvic massage (see FIG. 4). That is, the control unit 4 controls the reclining motor M3 to control the reclining operation of the backrest unit 12, and also controls the air pump P to perform the expansion and contraction operations of the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32. Each is controlled to perform pelvic massage.

  In the treatment of the pelvis, it is necessary to first grasp the position of the pelvis. In addition, for example, if a massage position is mistaken when performing massage for tightening the pelvis, an adverse effect may be obtained, so accurate positioning of the pelvis is extremely important. Therefore, when pelvic massage is started, first, the backrest portion 12 is erected to define the position of the pelvis of the user sitting deeply in the seat portion 11 while leaning against the backrest portion 12. And since the 1st, 2nd airbag 31 and 32 is arrange | positioned in the position suitable for pressing this position, the effective pelvic massage mentioned above is realizable.

  In addition, as the standing position of the backrest part 12, it is desirable to be as close to vertical as possible. For example, it is desirable to set a special standing position dedicated to pelvic massage. That is, the normal standing position of the backrest 12 that has been raised up to the maximum by the normal reclining operation is lying slightly backward from the vertical, whereas in the case of performing pelvic massage, the control unit 4 is more than the normal standing position. In other words, the backrest 12 is controlled to be positioned in a special standing position that is closer to the vertical.

  Therefore, for example, when performing a course massage including pelvic massage, the CPU 40 of the control unit 4 places the backrest 12 at the “special standing position” at the start of the course massage, or during the course massage execution. Control such as placing the backrest 12 in the “special standing position” immediately before the pelvic massage is performed is performed.

  Moreover, the control part 4 can also inflate the 3rd airbag 33 arrange | positioned by the backrest part 12 side of the seat part 11 in addition to the control which raises the backrest part 12 prior to the start of pelvic massage. Thus, in addition to the 1st airbag 31 and the 2nd airbag 32, by further controlling the expansion / contraction operation | movement of the 3rd airbag 33, according to the physique of a to-be-treated person, pelvic position Adjustment in the vertical direction is possible.

  By the way, in this massage machine, although the 2nd airbag 32 is supported by the seat part 11 side, a to-be-treated person can be pressed from the left-right side, and this 2nd airbag 32 is provided. Has a structure that absorbs the physical difference (for example, the size of the buttocks) of the user. That is, the second airbag 32 is formed of a flexible sheet material, and the lower end is fixed to the armrest portion 13 on the seat portion 11 side, while the upper end is a free end, and the upper end is the armrest portion 13. It arrange | positions in the state tilted so that it may contact | abut to an inner surface side, and as shown to FIG.2 and FIG.6, it arrange | positions so that it may become reverse C shape by a front view. As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the angle α formed by the seat and the second airbag 32 is 70 degrees when the user is not sitting, but the armrest 13 is made to function as a wall. The angle α is preferably 30 degrees or more.

  In general, a conventional airbag connected to and supported by the seat portion 11 is configured to press the user only from the lower side, and it is difficult to press the user from the left and right sides. If the airbag is simply disposed, the small user may not contact the body, and it becomes difficult to absorb the physique difference. Therefore, the second airbag 32 according to the present embodiment includes the second airbag 32 such that a space Q is formed between the second airbag 32, the seat portion 11, and the armrest portion 13. The mounting structure is tilted so that the upper end is in contact with the inner side surface of the armrest portion 13. Therefore, the second airbag 32 and the user can easily come into contact with each other even if there is a physical difference. In addition, although the amount of contact varies depending on the physique difference, the second airbag 32 deforms flexibly in the space Q according to the physique difference, so that the user can obtain a comfortable sitting comfort. When the second airbag 32 is inflated in this state, the inner surface of the armrest portion 13 becomes a wall, so that the user can be firmly pressed from the left and right by the second airbag 32 ( (Refer FIG. 6 (a) (b)). Since the initial contact amount varies depending on the physique difference, a difference occurs in the pressing force from the left and right. This difference can be adjusted by the amount of air supplied to the airbag (second airbag 32).

  By the way, as shown in FIGS. 6C and 6D, the second airbag 32 according to the present embodiment includes a left second airbag 32L, a left inner second airbag 32La, and a left outer second airbag. The right second airbag 32R is configured by polymerizing the right inner second airbag 32Ra and the right outer second airbag 32Rb.

  Even in such a configuration, the polymerized airbag can be flexibly deformed. In this embodiment, if the left and right outer second airbags 32Lb and 32Rb are inflated together with the left and right inner second airbags 32La and 32Ra, the left and right outer airbags 32La and 32Rb are inflated. The pressing force is improved.

  Thus, according to the present massage machine, if the massage operation for inflating and contracting the left and right inner second airbags 32La and 32Ra is performed at an appropriate position according to the physique of the user himself / herself, the sitting comfort remains good. Effective pelvic massage can be performed by absorbing physique.

  In particular, regardless of the size of the user, for example, a large user, even if the left and right second airbags 32L and 32R are pushed by the buttocks of the user, the left and right second air Since the bags 32L and 32R are deformed without resistance in the space Q, the user can comfortably fit the second airbag 32 to the left and right sides of the pelvis without impairing the sitting comfort. Therefore, when the second airbag 32 is inflated, as shown in FIG. 7, it effectively presses a specific part M called a “great trochanter” which is an effective part for massaging the pelvis. Will be able to. In addition, since the position of the greater trochanter is in the vicinity of the seat surface, the pressing position from the left and right is opposite unless it is in the vicinity of the seat surface. Since the structure can be pressed, even if the seat surface moves up and down depending on the weight of the user, the airbag also follows, so the vicinity of the seat surface can be reliably pressed from the left and right.

  Here, the structure of the 1st airbag 31 and the 2nd airbag 32 is demonstrated with reference to FIG.9 and FIG.10.

  This massage machine is configured to support at least the first airbags 31L and 31R and the left and right second airbags 32L and 32R on the seat portion 11 side. Here, as shown in FIG. 9, the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32, together with the third airbag 33, can be centrally arranged on the seat portion 11.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, point fasteners 3 b are provided at the periphery of a rectangular plate 3 a disposed at the center of the seat portion 11, and can also be connected to the periphery of each airbag 3. A point fastener 3b is provided at the position. The left and right third airbags 33L and 33R constituting the third airbag 33 are connected to the rectangular plate 3a so as to face each other.

  The lower edges of the first airbags 31L, 31R and the left and right second airbags 32L, 32R are respectively bendable connecting portions 3c, and the connecting portions 3c are also provided with point fasteners 3b. The first airbags 31L and 31R are connected to the rear edge of the third airbag 33 and the left and right second airbags 32L and 32R are connected to the side edges of the third airbag 33 via the point fastener 3b of the connecting portion 3c. In addition, each of them is connected in an upright manner at a predetermined angle. That is, for the left and right second airbags 32L and 32R, the lower ends are fixed to the seat portion 11 side via the side edges of the third airbag 33, and the upper ends are free ends. It can be disposed so as to be in contact with the inner surface of the portion 13 and to have a substantially inverted C shape when viewed from the front (see FIGS. 2, 6, and 7).

  With this configuration, as shown in FIG. 9, at least the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 that are mainly used for pelvic massage can be supported on the seat portion 11 side. Accordingly, since an air hose (not shown) for connecting the airbag 3 and the air pump P can be easily arranged, the manufacturing process is simplified and the manufacturing efficiency is improved. Further, in the present massage machine, in particular, since the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 are connected to the third airbag 33, the six airbags used for pelvic massage are omitted. They can be assembled at the same time, and the above effects can be further enhanced.

  The first airbag 31L, 31R and the left and right second airbags 32L, 32R are supported on the seat portion 11 side by, for example, providing a support piece on each of them, and the seat portion 11 via the support piece. It does not matter even if it is configured to be directly attached to.

  In the illustrated example, the left inner and outer second airbags 32La and 32Lb constituting the left second airbag 32L and the right inner and outer second airbags 32Ra and 32Rb constituting the right second airbag 32R are completely separated and independent. The two airbags are superposed, but only the inflating bag main body part is separated, and the connecting part 3c may be a common integrally formed product.

  Hereinafter, the case where pelvic massage is actually performed using the massage machine according to the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

  The air supply / exhaust of the airbag 3 in the pelvic massage described below is controlled by the control unit 4 described above. When the control unit 4 executes the pelvic massage, the first airbag 31 and In addition to the second airbag 32, the expansion and contraction operations of the third airbag 33 and the fourth airbag 34 are controlled.

  In addition, the pelvic massage performed with this massage machine is roughly divided into a massage for loosening the pelvis and a massage for tightening the pelvis. The examples shown in FIGS. 11 to 14 relate to an operation of tilting the pelvis forward and an operation of tilting backward in the massage for loosening the pelvis.

  In the present massage machine, as shown in FIG. 11, the pelvis is inclined forward by inflating the eighth airbag 39, thereby pressing the central part of the spine of the user to forcibly warp the body. I am trying to take The pelvis is tilted forward by taking the posture of the upper body of the user. Thus, since the vicinity of the spine, which is the center of the back of the user who could not contact the airbag until now, can be gently pushed by the air pressure by the eighth airbag 39, the treatment The pelvis can be tilted forward without imposing a burden on the person.

  As described above, when the pelvic massage is performed, the control unit 4 of the present massage machine performs the operation of the eighth airbag 39 when the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 are not expanded or contracted. Control can be performed to perform expansion and contraction.

  Further, if the massage machine is configured not to include the eighth airbag 39, as shown in FIG. 12, the mechanical massage unit 5 is moved to the central height position to press the back of the user. Also, it is better to force the body to warp. That is, when the pelvic massage is performed, the control unit 4 of the present massage machine moves the mechanical massage unit 5 to the first when the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 are not expanded or contracted. It can be controlled to move upward from the airbag 31 and press the back with the kneading balls 51 of the mechanical massage unit 5. At this time, the back middle airbags 30bL and 30bR of the back airbag 30 may be inflated, and the back may be pressed in cooperation therewith.

  Moreover, in the operation | movement which tilts a pelvis forward, the 7th airbag 38 of the body side treatment parts 15 and 15 is expanded, and the posture which curves a body more effectively can be taken by hold | maintaining a shoulder part of a body. it can.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13, the posterior tilt of the pelvis causes the upper airbags 30aL and 30aR for the back to inflate, thereby pressing the vicinity of the shoulder blades of the back of the user and forcibly rounding the back. I try to take a posture. At this time, the pelvis is in a tilted position with the hips in a fallen state.

  Further, as described above, since the control unit 4 can control the mechanical massage unit 5 when performing pelvic massage, the mechanical massage unit 5 is placed at a predetermined height position as shown in FIG. For example, the back of the user may be pressed by moving to the vicinity of the scapula.

  When performing an operation of tilting the pelvis backward, for example, by inflating the fourth airbag 34 and assisting by pushing up the thigh of the user from below, it is easy to drop the waist. Can do. That is, the control unit 4 can control the expansion / contraction operation of the fourth airbag 34 in addition to the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 when performing pelvic massage. it can.

  In addition, when performing the operation of tilting the pelvis backward, the control unit 4 can perform an assist in which the backrest unit 12 is rotated forward by a predetermined angle to take a posture of rolling the back.

  Next, in the massage that loosens the pelvis, the side-to-side shaking operation will be described. 15 to 18, in order to facilitate understanding, the first airbag 31R is NO. 1, the first airbag 31L is NO. 2, the right second airbag 32R is NO. 3, the left second airbag 32L is NO. 4. The right third airbag 33R is NO. 5. The left third airbag 33L is NO. 6 is assigned a number, and the order of operation is indicated by that number.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the NO. 3 is supplied and inflated for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), then exhausted for 1 second (FIG. 15 (a)), and then the NO. 4 is supplied for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) to be inflated and then exhausted for 1 second (FIG. 15B). Then, repeat this cycle and shake your body. That is, NO. 3 Air supply (5 seconds) → NO. 3 Exhaust (1 second) → NO. 4 Air supply (5 seconds) → NO. Repeat with 4 exhausts (1 second). By repeating this cycle, the body swinging motion of pushing the waist sideways and tilting the shoulder in the opposite direction to the waist pushing direction is repeated a predetermined number of times. Of course, NO. 4 may be expanded and contracted first.

  In addition, NO. 3 and NO. 4 is supplied for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) and inflated, the NO. 5 and the left third airbag 33L. 6 may be expanded for the same time, and then both may be contracted. That is, NO. 3 and NO. 5 Air supply (5 seconds) → NO. 3 and NO. 5 Exhaust (1 second) → NO. 4 and NO. 6 Air supply (5 seconds) → NO. 4 and NO. Repeat with 6 exhausts (1 second). In this case, the degree of shaking of the user to the left and right can be increased.

  Alternatively, NO. 5 is supplied and expanded for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), and then is exhausted for 1 second. 6 may be supplied for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) for expansion, then exhausted for 1 second, and this cycle may be repeated. That is, NO. 5 Air supply (5 seconds) → NO. 5 Exhaust (1 second) → NO. 6 Air supply (5 seconds) → NO. It may be repeated with 6 exhausts (1 second). That is, it is also possible to realize a side-to-side swaying action by lifting the buttocks one by one.

  Furthermore, NO. 3 is supplied for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) and inflated, then, NO. 5 is supplied for 1 second to inflate, then both are evacuated for 1 second, then NO. 4 is supplied and expanded for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), and then NO. The operation may be repeated in which 6 is supplied for 1 second to be inflated and then both are exhausted for 1 second. That is, NO. 3 Air supply (5 seconds) → NO. 5 Air supply (1 second) → NO. 3 and NO. 5 Exhaust (1 second) → NO. 4 Air supply (5 seconds) → NO. 6 Air supply (1 second) → NO. 4 and NO. Repeat with 6 exhausts (1 second). On the contrary, NO. 5 Air supply (5 seconds) → NO. 3 Air supply (1 second) → NO. 5 and NO. 3 Exhaust (1 second) → NO. 6 Air supply (5 seconds) → NO. 4 Air supply (1 second) → NO. 6 and NO. It can be repeated with 4 exhausts (1 second). Also in these cases, the degree of shaking of the user to the left and right can be increased.

  Next, the rotation operation of the body will be described in the massage for relaxing the pelvis. As shown in FIG. 16, first, the NO. 3 (FIG. 16 (a)), while pushing the pelvic part to the left, 1 second later, the NO. 1 and push the right side of the body forward (FIG. 16 (b)), and after 1 second, the NO. 2 is supplied and the left side of the body is pushed forward (FIG. 16C). Further, one second later, the NO. No. 4 is supplied at the same time as NO. 3 exhausts (FIG. 16 (d)).

  And one second later, NO. 1 is evacuated to release the forward pressing of the right side of the body (FIG. 16 (e)). 2 is exhausted to release the forward pressing of the entire body (FIG. 16 (f)), and then NO. 4 is exhausted to return to the initial state (FIG. 16G). By repeating this cycle, the body rotates clockwise.

  That is, NO. 3 Air supply → NO. 1 air supply → NO. 2 Supply → NO. 4 Air supply (NO.3 exhaust) → NO. 1 exhaust → NO. 2 Exhaust → NO. The 4 exhaust cycle is repeated at 1 second intervals.

  Further, although not shown, the third airbag 33 (NO. 5 and NO. 6) can be used instead of the second airbag 32 (NO. 3 and NO. 4). That is, the NO. 5 Air supply → NO. 1 air supply → NO. 2 Supply → NO. 6 Air supply (NO.5 exhaust) → NO. 1 exhaust → NO. 2 Exhaust → NO. The 6 exhaust cycle is repeated at 1 second intervals.

  In addition, as a rotational action of the body, although not shown, the second airbag 32 (NO.3 and NO.4) and the third airbag 33 (NO.5 and NO.6) cooperate. It can also be made. That is, NO. 5 and NO. 3 Air supply → NO. 1 air supply → NO. 2 Supply → NO. 6 Air supply (NO.5 and NO.3 exhaust) → NO. 4 Supply air (NO.1 exhaust) → NO. 2 Exhaust → NO. 6 and NO. The 4 exhaust cycle is repeated at 1 second intervals.
