Moreover, the lower part of the heel position in the foot insertion state in the pressing portion main body 21 is made of an elastic material, and can easily support the load applied from the heel, and the load affects other parts. There is no.

  The airbags 22, 23, and 24 attached to the pressing portion main body 21 are positioned in the vicinity of the outside of each massage target portion of the foot 70 in a state where the foot is inserted into the space portion 25. More specifically, the third airbag 22 is disposed so as to be capable of pressing along the lower surface of the foot (the sole) excluding the heel, and the fourth airbag 23 is disposed on the upper surface of the foot (instep). ) Are arranged so as to be pressed along the portion (see FIGS. 2 and 5). In addition, the fifth airbag 24 is disposed so as to be able to press such a part so as to surround the part from the back of the bag to the left and right side surfaces (see FIGS. 2 and 4).

  The third airbag 22 that is located near the outer side (lower side) of the lower surface (bottom side) of the foot excluding the heel of the foot 70 is a portion that is located below the central portion of the toe, and is the mechanism unit 30. This is a configuration communicating with the supply / discharge mechanism. When the third airbag 22 is inflated and contracted, the sole part excluding the heel of the foot is pushed at a predetermined timing to give stimulation as a massage. A portion of the third airbag 22 located on the lower side of the toe base can be provided with a protrusion 22a for strengthening the stimulus applied to the lower surface of the toe base at the time of inflation (see FIGS. 2 and 5). .

  The fourth airbag 23, which is located near the outside (upper side) of the instep part of the foot 70, is connected to a tube (not shown) at a part located outside (side) of the inner part of the toe. The structure is connected to the supply / discharge mechanism of the mechanism unit 30 through this pipe.

  In this way, the third airbag 22 and the fourth airbag 23 positioned above and below the foot are arranged to face each other. The upper fourth airbag is connected to the installation surface of the third airbag 22 in the pressing portion main body 31 to form a closed region surrounding the range from the instep to the sole of the foot. In the state where the legs are inserted between the third airbag 22 and the fourth airbag 23, the airbags are not displaced from the legs.

Further, the fifth airbag 24 is provided so as to be located near the outside of the part extending from the back surface to the left and right side surfaces of the heel portion of the foot 70, and can push the heel surface of the foot as a massage target portion. is there. The fifth airbag 24 is connected to a pipe 26 at a portion located outside the back portion of the bag, and is connected to the air supply / discharge mechanism of the mechanism unit 30 via the pipe 26 so that air can flow. However, the fifth airbag 24 shares a part of the pipe connected to the air supply / discharge mechanism of the mechanism portion 30 with the third airbag 22, and at the same timing as the third airbag 22. It can be expanded and contracted.
On the other hand, the third airbag 22 (and the fifth airbag) and the fourth airbag 23 have separate supply / exhaust systems, and can be inflated and contracted independently of each other. It is a mechanism.

  The number of airbags provided in the foot pressing portion 20 is not limited to the above three sets, and can be set as appropriate according to the usage mode. In addition, the arrangement of the airbag is not limited to the arrangement in which the three airbag portions are dispersed corresponding to each part of the foot, and the airbags are partially overlapped and the shape and size of each airbag are subject to foot massage. Depending on the nature of the location, the arrangement can be made different depending on the shape and size of the airbag. Further, the third airbag 22 and the fifth airbag 24 share a part of the pipe 26 connected to the air supply / exhaust mechanism of the mechanism unit 30, but the present invention is not limited to this. The air supply and discharge mechanisms such as pipes and solenoid valves are independent for each airbag, and the pipes and supply and discharge mechanisms are shared by different types of airbags. The connection relationship with the mechanism may be arbitrarily set according to the use and target.

  The mechanism portion 30 is disposed inside the pressing portion main body 21, and the lower part of the toe base portion of the third airbag 22 is disposed so as to overlap with the mechanism portion 30. When the bag 22 is inflated, since the mechanism portion 30 exists on the lower side, the pressing force does not diffuse and the upper portion can be pressed efficiently because the downward expansion can be suppressed. It becomes.

The pressing portion main body 21 is covered with the cover portion 20a in a state including each airbag, mechanism portion, piping material, and the like.
The cover portion 20a is formed of a sheet-like body made of a strong flexible material that does not break even when contacted with a user or other objects, friction or pressure from the airbags 22 and 23 is applied. The airbag 22, 23, 24, the mechanism unit 30, and the like are collectively covered with the air bag 21 so as to be protected from moisture and dirt. The cover portion 20a can be attached / detached by inserting / removing the pressing portion main body 21 and the airbags 22, 23, 24 and the mechanism portion 30 integral with the pressing portion main body 21 through an opening on the outer periphery that can be opened and closed by a predetermined engaging means (slide fastener or the like). It is a mechanism to coat.

  In addition to the cover part 20a, a removable inner cover part is provided as a part that directly touches the foot on the innermost side of the foot pressing part in a state where the foot is inserted and accommodated in the space part 25 of the foot pressing part 20, and is necessary. Depending on the situation, it may be removed and replaced, or it may be washed and reused.

  The cover portion 20a is formed on the heel side so as to cover the outside of the fifth airbag 24 in the heel portion, and is connected to the surface of the connecting portion 40 at the upper portion to obtain a unity in design. And the piping which goes to each airbag 12 and 13 of the 5th airbag 24 of the collar part from the mechanism part 30 and the leg press part 10 passes between each 5th airbag 24 and the cover part 20a, and each air bag. The pipes that are connected to the bag and that go to each airbag of the leg pressing portion 10 via the connecting portion 40 are built in the connecting portion 40 and are not visible from the outside (see FIG. 4).

  As described above, the foot pressing portion 20 including the pressing portion main body 21 and the cover portion 20a has a shape having a flat bottom surface wider than the lower surfaces of both feet, and the entrance portion of the space portion 25 and the connected leg pressing portion 10 are provided. In a natural and unreasonable positional relationship with the bottom face at the top, it can be placed on the floor in a stable state.

  When placed on the floor in this manner, the foot pressing part 20 can stand on its own without problems with the entrance portion of the space 25 facing upward, and the user simply places the foot pressing part 20 on the floor without supporting the foot pressing part 20 with a hand or the like. In this state, the foot can be easily inserted from the entrance portion of the space portion 25 (see FIG. 8), and the transition to a massageable state can be promptly advanced. And, when both feet are inserted into the foot pressing part 20 placed on the floor, the sole naturally faces down, the foot can be pressed while the lower side is supported on the floor, the weight of the foot, The stimulation from the third airbag 22 to the sole increases with the weight of the leg added depending on the posture, and the massage effect on the sole can be enhanced.

  When the foot is inserted into the foot pressing portion 20, the leg pressing portion 10 connected to the foot pressing portion 20 is shifted to a position that does not interfere with the insertion of the foot. It can be either expanded or unfolded.

  In addition to just inserting the foot 70 into the foot pressing part 20, the leg pressing part 10 is of a wound mounting type, and the foot 70 does not pass through the leg pressing part 10, and the foot pressing part 20 Since the insertion path of the foot 70 is shorter than that of the boot-like shape, it is easy to insert the foot, and since the wound attachment part is only the leg pressing part 10, the entire massage device can be applied to the leg and foot in a short time. It can be worn and the massager can be moved immediately from the start of preparation for use.

  In a state where the foot is inserted into the foot pressing part 20, the foot pressing part 20 surrounds the foot as a whole like a shoe, so that the foot pressing part 20 appropriately surrounds the foot and is not easily displaced from the foot. Thus, the airbags 22, 23, and 24 are correctly positioned with respect to the massage target portion of the foot, and the massage can be performed accurately. Further, since the leg pressing unit 10 and the foot pressing unit 20 are connected and the positional relationship is fixed, the leg pressing unit 10 can be moved even if the user moves the leg or the foot in a state where the leg pressing unit 10 is mounted on the leg. The foot does not come off from the foot 20, and there is no inconvenience for the user to take care such as stopping the foot and the leg so that the foot and the foot pressing portion 20 are not separated during use.

  In addition, in the state where both the left and right feet are inserted into the foot pressing portion 20, the user cannot move easily, such as being unable to walk. Therefore, it is possible to prevent inadvertent movement during the massage, and safety during the massage. Can be secured.

  On the other hand, the leg pressing part 10 and the foot pressing part 20 are connected by a flexible connecting part 40, and the leg pressing part 10 can be freely moved within a range in which the connecting part 40 is deformed with respect to the foot pressing part 20. Thus, the leg pressing unit 10 can be efficiently wound around the leg, and the leg pressing unit 10 integrated with the leg pressing unit 20 is attached to the leg 60 when the leg pressing unit 10 is mounted on the leg 60. It is difficult to restrain the movement of the leg, and does not obstruct the movement of the leg 60. The user can easily move the leg 60 above the ankle back and forth and right and left even when the leg pressing part 10 is worn (see FIG. 12), and during massage The comfort can be enhanced by suppressing excessive restraint.

  The foot pressing part 20 is attached with a mountain-shaped outer cover 29 that collectively covers the upper part of the foot pressing part 20 and the leg pressing part 10 that is bent at the connecting part 40 and stacked on the upper part of the foot pressing part 20. (See FIGS. 13 and 14). With this outer cover attached, it looks like a thick thick cushion, and it can be made to look like it does not feel uncomfortable even if it is left in the room. In this case, it is not necessary to store in a storage space such as a closet or a closet, so that the time and effort of storage can be omitted.

  The mechanism unit 30 includes a pump unit 31 that supplies air at a predetermined pressure, and solenoid valves 32a and 32b that switch communication / non-communication between the airbags 12, 13, 22, 23, and 24 and the pump unit 31 or external space. , 32c, 32d, a control unit 38 that controls the drive of the pump unit 31 and the opening / closing operation of each solenoid valve to adjust the supply and discharge of air to each airbag, and the AC for supplying power to the pump unit 31 and the like A power supply connection portion 39 for connecting an external power source (not shown) such as an adapter, and the like, as a unit, a lower portion of the foot pressing portion 20, specifically, a space portion 25 in the pressing portion main body 21 It is configured to be accommodated in a predetermined space provided below the third airbag 22 and in front of the heel position in the state where the foot is inserted, and disposed integrally with the foot pressing portion 20. By disposing the mechanism portion 30 so as to be positioned below the foot in the inserted and retracted state of the foot into the foot pressing portion 20, the mechanism portion 30 restrains the movement of the ankle and the upper leg. And does not hinder movement.

  The mechanism portion 30 is attached to a location where the foot is inserted into and stored in the foot pressing portion 20 so as not to overlap with the lower surface of the heel (see FIG. 5). Even in a state where the foot pressing portion 20 is placed on the floor surface facing downward, and the weight is applied to the heel, the heel does not feel uncomfortable due to the presence of the mechanism portion 30, and A load equivalent to the weight is applied to the mechanism unit 30 and damage is not caused.

  On the other hand, the portion of the mechanism portion 30 disposed below the foot pressing portion 20, that is, the air supply / discharge mechanism and the circuit board constituting the control portion 38 are stored in the rigid housing 35 in the space portion. A part of the housing 35 is located immediately below the third airbag 22 (see FIG. 10). In this way, the third airbag 22 is supported from the lower side by the mechanism portion 30 having the hard housing 35, so that the pressing force when the third airbag 22 is inflated is not directed downward, and the upper side is moved upward. It is possible to concentrate and efficiently apply a pressing force to the sole. Furthermore, although the housing 35 receives a downward load from the sole part other than the heel, it has sufficient strength, so that each part of the mechanism part 30 can be reliably protected and prevented from being damaged.

  In addition to the main part disposed at the lower part of the foot pressing part 20, the mechanism part 30 is inserted between the left and right legs in a state where the foot is inserted and accommodated in the space part 25 of the foot pressing part 20. The operation unit 37 connected to the control unit 38 and accepting the user's operation is provided on the surface of the foot pressing unit 20 located between the heel portions (see FIGS. 3 and 5). The operation portion 37 is exposed to the outside through the cover portion 20a so as to be operable.

  The operation unit 37 can maintain a visible state between the left and right feet, that is, the foot pressing unit 20 without being obstructed when the foot is inserted and removed or massaged, and an external load such as weight is applied. It is placed in a position that is not easily damaged. If the position between the legs is such that the legs cannot be moved as in the conventional stationary type, the left and right legs are arranged side by side so that it is difficult for the user's hand to approach and the operation is difficult. In this embodiment, the leg 60 can be moved left and right by the connecting portion 40 to widen the space between the legs, so that there is no hindrance to the operation. In this way, the operation unit 37 can be disposed in the space between the feet, which is difficult to provide the operation unit in the past in terms of operability, and the space of the foot pressing unit 20 can be effectively used to reduce the size of the entire massage device. I am trying.

  The user inserts and accommodates the foot in the space 25 of the foot pressing portion 20 to enable massage with the airbags 22, 23, and 24, and the user takes a relaxed posture with the sole facing down. In the closed state (see FIG. 12), the operation unit 37 between the left and right feet is in a positional relationship facing upward. As a result, when the user operates the operation unit 37, the user can operate the operation unit 37 while looking at the operation unit 37, and there is no foot below the operation unit 37. Since the force to be applied is not directed to the foot, the operation unit 37 can be operated in a state where the foot does not feel uncomfortable, and the operability can be improved.

  The mechanism portion 30 is connected to the first airbag 12 and the second airbag 13 in the leg pressing portion 10 via the pipe 26, and the third airbag 22 and the fourth airbag in the foot pressing portion 20 are connected. The configuration is such that the airbag 23 and the fifth airbag 24 are connected to each other via a pipe 26. More specifically, the pump unit 31 in the mechanism unit 30 is connected to each airbag of the leg pressing unit 10 via the electromagnetic valves 32a and 32b for each airbag. The pump unit 31 is connected to the third airbag 22 and the fifth airbag 24 of the foot pressing unit 20 via the electromagnetic valve 32c, and is connected to the fourth airbag via the electromagnetic valve 32d. 23 is connected.

  Each solenoid valve 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d has a first port communicating with the pump unit 31, a second port communicating with the airbag, and a third port communicating with the outside. In accordance with the control by the first port and the second port, the third port is closed, and the air can be supplied from the pump unit 31 to the airbag. The second port and the third port The first port is closed and the air in the airbag is exhausted to the outside, and the first port, the second port, and the third port are not allowed to communicate with each other. Thus, this is a known three-way valve capable of switching between the three states of maintaining the internal pressure of the airbag, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  In addition to the configuration in which the internal pressure of the airbag can be maintained with only the solenoid valve without interconnecting the ports, only air flow from the air pump to the solenoid valve side is provided between the pump unit 31 and the solenoid valve. A check valve is provided to allow the first port and the second port to communicate with each other, and the third port is closed to supply air from the pump unit 31 to the airbag. When supply of air is stopped, it is possible to obtain a state in which the internal pressure of the airbag is maintained by a check valve.

  The pump unit 31 and the electromagnetic valves 32a, 32b, 32c, and 32d constitute an air supply / exhaust mechanism for each airbag, and the control unit 38 operates the pump unit 31 and controls the electromagnetic valves 32a, 32b, 32c, and 32d. By adjusting and controlling the communication state, the air bag is inflated, deflated, or maintained in a predetermined inflated state by supplying, exhausting, or maintaining pressure for a desired airbag. When the airbag is inflated, it generates a pressing force against the massage target part located inside the airbag of the leg or foot, while releasing the pressure when contracting, giving a varied massage effect at each airbag position be able to.

  The four solenoid valves 32a, 32b, 32c, and 32d are provided for the pump unit 31 to adjust the expansion and contraction of the five airbags. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pump unit and the solenoid valve The number and combination of these may be appropriately selected as long as they can be disposed on the foot pressing portion as the mechanism portion.

  In addition, the mechanism unit 30 can also be provided with a heater. In this case, the heater is actuated by a user's operation instruction, so that the heat from the heater is transmitted to the sole and the foot can be warmed.

  The control unit 38 is configured to perform appropriate massage on the basis of information of massage contents recorded and set in advance for the pump unit 31 and the electromagnetic valves 32a, 32b, 32c, and 32d that constitute the air supply / discharge mechanism. Control is performed.

  The control unit 38 is a computer including a CPU, a memory, an input / output interface, and the like as its hardware configuration, and is a mechanism that causes the computer to operate as the control unit 38 by a program stored in the memory or the like. The computer constituting the control unit 38 is a microcomputer in which a CPU, a memory, a ROM, and the like are integrally formed, and can be built in the mechanism unit 30 without any problem.

  Next, massage preparation and massage execution states for the legs and feet of the user of the massage device according to the present embodiment will be described. As a premise, the foot pressing portion 20 of the massage device 1 is sized to insert and accommodate the user's foot 70 using the massage device, and the leg pressing portion 10 is wound around the user's leg 60 and attached. It shall have a possible winding length. Furthermore, it is assumed that the power supply from the power supply is normally performed, and the pump unit 31 and the electromagnetic valves 32a, 32b, 32c, and 32d are appropriately operable by the control of the control unit 38.

As a preparatory work, first, the user places the massage device 1 on the floor, releases the engagement of the front portion of the leg pressing portion 10 of the massage device with the hook-and-loop fastener, opens the leg pressing portion 10 and opens this. The leg pressing part 10 is tilted to the back side, and the entrance of the space part 25 of the foot pressing part 20 is opened as viewed from above. Then, the user inserts and accommodates the foot 70 in the foot pressing portion 20 (see FIG. 8), winds the leg pressing portion 10 around the user's leg, and engages the hook and loop fastener (FIG. 9). reference).
In this state, the user takes a posture with the sole side facing downward, and the operation unit 37 between the left and right feet faces upward.

  The first airbag 12 is located on the left and right sides of the calf among the airbags 12 and 13 of the leg pressing portion 10, and the second airbag 13 is located behind the calf. And among the airbags 22, 23, and 24 of the foot pressing part 20, the third airbag 22 is located outside (lower side) of the sole part of the foot (see FIG. 10) and the fourth airbag 23. Are located on the outside (upper side) of the instep portion of the foot, and the fifth airbag 24 is located outside the portion extending from the back side of the heel to the left and right side surfaces (see FIG. 11).

  When the user performs an operation such as inputting an instruction such as a massage mode to the operation unit 37, the control unit 38 starts operation control, and the control unit 38 performs the pump unit 31 and the electromagnetic valve 32a as an air supply / discharge mechanism. , 32b, 32c, and 32d, the control commands are sent to operate the airbags 12, 13, 22, 23, and 24, respectively.

  When inflating / deflating each airbag, a plurality of inflation / deflation patterns are set in advance, and when performing massage, the airbag is inflated / inflated according to one or more inflation / deflation patterns, and this is repeated. The desired pressing effect is obtained by changing the pressing state by variously.

First, the case where the second airbag 13 is inflated after the first airbag 12 is inflated will be described for the leg pressing portion 10, for example.
First, the control unit 38 sends a control command to the pump unit 31 and the electromagnetic valves 32a and 32b as an air supply / exhaust mechanism, supplies air only to the first airbag 12, and Inflate and press the left and right calves. The air supply is continued for a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds), and the pressed state is also continued.

After a predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 38 sends out a new control command, stops supplying air to the first airbag 12, and maintains the pressed state by the airbag 12 as pressure retention, and further The air bag 13 is supplied with air, the second airbag 13 is inflated, and the rear side of the calf is newly pressed. The air supply is continued for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), and the pressing state is also continued.
In this way, by inflating the two airbags 12, 13 at different times, a change can be given to tightening the entire calf.

  After a predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 38 sends an air supply stop / pressure control command to the air supply / exhaust mechanism to stop supply of air to the airbags 12 and 13, but does not exhaust yet. In this way, the inflated state of each airbag is further maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 4 seconds). Thereafter, the control unit 38 newly sends a control command to the air supply / exhaust mechanism, shifts to the exhaust state, contracts each airbag with exhaust for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), and then performs a series of inflation. End the shrinking process.

In addition, the case where all the airbags 12 and 13 are uniformly inflated will be described as another expansion / contraction pattern in the leg pressing portion.
First, the control unit 38 sends a control command to the pump unit 31 and the electromagnetic valves 32a and 32b as the air supply and discharge mechanisms of the airbags 12 and 13, and the first airbag 12 and the second airbag Air is supplied to both 13 and the airbags are inflated to press the calves of the legs. The air supply is continued for a predetermined time (for example, 12 seconds), and the pressing state is also continued.

  By inflating the two airbags 12 and 13 in this way, the entire calf can be pressed to be tightened. And thereby, in a calf, the state which presses and tightens from the surroundings like a cow's milk and produces a blood flow (what is called milking) can be produced.

  After a predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 38 sends an air supply stop / pressure control command to the air supply / exhaust mechanism to stop supply of air to the airbags 12 and 13, but does not exhaust yet. In this way, the inflated state of each airbag is further maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 4 seconds). Thereafter, the control unit 38 sends a new control command to the air supply / exhaust mechanism, shifts to the exhaust state, contracts each airbag with exhaust for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), and then performs a series of inflation. End the shrinking process.

On the other hand, the foot pressing portion 20 also inflates and contracts the airbag according to a predetermined expansion / contraction pattern at the same time as the leg pressing portion 10 or at a different timing. For example, when the airbags 22, 23, 24 are all inflated uniformly, the control unit 38 sends a control command to the pump unit 31 and the electromagnetic valves 32c, 32d as the air supply / discharge mechanism, Each set of the airbag 22, the fifth airbag 24, and the fourth airbag 23 is supplied with air for a predetermined time, and each airbag is inflated.踵 Press around the area.
By inflating the two airbags 22 and 23 in this way, it is possible to press the entire leg evenly.

  After a predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 38 sends an air supply stop / pressure control command to the air supply / exhaust mechanism to stop supplying air to the airbags 22, 23, 24, while exhaust is still In such a manner, the airbag is kept inflated for a predetermined time. Thereafter, the control unit 38 sends a new control command to the air supply / discharge mechanism, shifts to the exhaust state, and contracts each airbag by exhausting for a predetermined time. The above series of expansion / contraction processes can be repeated a plurality of times as necessary.

  In addition to this, when shifting the inflation timing between the third and fifth airbags 22 and 24 of the foot pressing portion 20 and the fourth airbag 23, for example, the third airbag 22 and the fifth airbag 23 When the fourth airbag 23 is inflated after the airbag 24 is inflated, the control unit 38 sends a control command to the pump unit 31 and the electromagnetic valves 32c and 32d as the air supply / discharge mechanism. The third airbag 22 and the fifth airbag 24 are supplied with air for a predetermined time, and the third airbag 22 and the fifth airbag 24 are inflated so that the soles of the feet and the heels Press each around.

After a predetermined time elapses, the control unit 38 sends out a new control command, stops the air supply to the third airbag 22 and the fifth airbag 24, and presses the airbags 22 and 24 to maintain the pressure. While maintaining the state, the fourth airbag 23 is further supplied with air for a predetermined time, the fourth airbag 23 is inflated, and the instep portion of the foot is newly pressed.
In this way, by inflating the two airbags 22 and 24 and another airbag 23 while shifting the time, it is possible to give changes such as tightening from the sole side to tighten the entire foot. .

  After a predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 38 sends an air supply stop / pressure control command to the air supply / exhaust mechanism to stop supplying air to the fourth airbag 23, but does not exhaust yet. In this way, the inflated state of each airbag is further maintained for a predetermined time. Thereafter, the control unit 38 newly sends a control command to the air supply / discharge mechanism, shifts to the exhaust state, and contracts each airbag by exhausting for a predetermined time. The above series of expansion / contraction processes can be repeated a plurality of times as necessary.

  In the preset massage mode, a predetermined expansion / contraction pattern is appropriately selected from a plurality of expansion / contraction patterns and combined in a predetermined order. When the user selects such a massage mode, the control unit 38 performs the massage. By performing the inflation and deflation of the airbags 12, 13, 22, 23, and 24 according to the mode, the user can perform an effective combination of pressing by each airbag without requiring a special operation. It can be easily generated and can receive an efficient massage. As the massage mode, the combination of expansion / contraction patterns may be repeated a plurality of times.

  In addition, the inflation / deflation patterns of the airbags in the leg pressing portion 10 and the foot pressing portion 20 are not limited to those inflating / deflating at the same time, or inflating / deflating at the same time, but other inflation / deflation patterns, For example, while inflating each airbag at the same time or inflating at different timings, a pattern that gradually inflates in stages, or a pattern that inflates intermittently rather than continuously Etc. can also be employed, and these can be combined as appropriate to create a selectable massage mode.

  As described above, when the massaging device according to the present embodiment inserts the leg pressing portion 10 that surrounds the calf portion of the leg 60 and enables the massage with the airbags 12 and 13 and the foot 70 into the space portion 25, the airbag. The foot pressing unit 20 that enables massage at 22, 23, and 24 is connected and integrated, and the mechanism unit 30 that operates the airbag is integrated with the foot pressing unit 20 including the operation unit 37 by the user. And is always connected to the leg pressing unit 10 and the foot pressing unit 20, so that the leg pressing unit 10, the foot pressing unit 20, and the mechanism unit 30 are not individually handled during preparation or actual use. Therefore, the user's troublesomeness can be eliminated, and the usability can be improved. Further, the leg pressing part 10 and the foot pressing part 20 are connected by a flexible connecting part 40, and the leg pressing part 10 can be moved with respect to the foot pressing part 20, so that even when the leg pressing part 10 is worn, The movement of the leg portion above the foot inserted into the pressing portion 20 is hardly restrained by the leg pressing portion 10, and the user can easily move the ankle and the upper leg portion with the foot inserted into the foot pressing portion 20. In addition to being able to receive massage in a relaxed state with restrained feeling, it can be compacted by folding at the connecting portion 40 so that the leg pressing portion 10 is superimposed on the foot pressing portion 20 when not in use. Can save space.

  In the massage device according to the embodiment, a connecting portion 40 formed of a substantially sheet-like body having flexibility is provided between the leg pressing portion 10 and the foot pressing portion 20, and one end of the connecting portion 40 is provided. And connecting the other end of the connecting portion 40 to the lower end portion of the leg pressing portion 10 for a predetermined length to connect the leg portion to the leg 60 with respect to the leg 60. In addition to this, the positioning of the pressing portion 10 is facilitated. In addition to this, a mark or the like for positioning when the leg pressing portion 10 is attached to the leg is separately provided on the leg pressing portion 10, and the function of the connecting portion 40 is achieved. If it is sufficient to secure the connection between the leg pressing portion and the foot pressing portion, another simple connecting portion may be used. For example, instead of providing a connection portion of a substantially sheet-like body, after providing sufficient strength and flexibility to the tube that supplies air to the airbag of the leg pressing portion, and using this as the connection portion It is possible to reduce the cost by realizing a simpler connecting portion that is used only for connecting.

  Moreover, in the massage device which concerns on the said embodiment, although it is set as the structure which uses the airbag which expands / contracts by supply / exhaust of air as a press means which presses a massage object location, it does not restrict to this but uses another press means. For example, a shape memory alloy that deforms when heat is applied can be used. For example, the shape memory alloy built in the leg pressing part wound so as to surround a predetermined range of the leg is shaped along the surface portion of the leg to be wound at room temperature, and the leg is not tightened in a simple winding state. On the other hand, when heat is applied by energization heating, etc., it is deformed to become a more bent shape and is forced to be positioned around the leg by restraint by the leg pressing part, resulting in an elastically deformed state, which occurs It can be set as the structure which can obtain the state which presses a leg with the elastic reaction force.

  On the other hand, for example, the shape memory alloy incorporated in the leg pressing portion is not shaped to follow the surface portion of the leg to be wound at room temperature, and in the wound state, it is elastically deformed by restraint by the leg pressing portion. The leg is pressed by the elastic reaction force. On the other hand, when the heat is applied by energization heating or the like, the leg is deformed to form a shape along the surface portion of the leg so that the elastic reaction force disappears and the leg is pressed. It can also be set as the structure which acquires the state which does not.

  Moreover, in the massage device according to the embodiment, power is supplied by connecting an external power source (not shown) such as an AC adapter to each part of the mechanism unit 30 via a power connection unit. The mechanism part can also be set as the structure which incorporates a battery so that replacement | exchange is possible as a pump part which operates each airbag, a solenoid valve, or other power supplies.

  In this case, a battery serving as a power source is built in the mechanism unit, so that it is not necessary to introduce power for operating the supply / discharge mechanism and the like from the outside. Therefore, the power connection unit and the external power source are connected in use. This eliminates the need for work and eliminates the user's annoyance. In addition, cables and other parts that connect the power supply connection part and the power supply can be omitted, so that the user is not restricted by such cables during use, which increases the degree of freedom in handling and further improves usability. It is done.

  As a battery, in addition to a general dry battery (manganese battery, alkaline battery) and secondary battery (nickel metal hydride battery, lithium ion battery) in which the active material is held in the battery, fuel cells that can be replenished with the active material A small one can also be used.

  When adopting a battery as a power source in this way, if there is an opportunity to frequently replace the battery built in the mechanism unit, a part of the mechanism unit 30 can be opened for battery replacement. Corresponding to the partial opening of the portion 30, an engaging means such as a fastener may be provided on the cover portion of the foot pressing portion so that only a portion of the foot pressing portion is opened as necessary.
