However, the operation body 22 can be operated by hand. Therefore, the acupoint on the sole of the foot can be pressed using the acupoint pressing device 3 even when the body is lying down or sitting on a chair.

  Moreover, in the pressure point press 3 of this embodiment, the force which presses a pressure point can be adjusted with the force which makes the movable member 24 approach the holding part 23b. At this time, since the force can be applied to the movable member 24 with the support shaft 24a as a fulcrum, the pressing member 17 can be pulled with a larger force and the acupuncture point of the sole can be pressed with the projection 18 by the principle of leverage. . Furthermore, since only one protrusion 18 is provided, only a single acupoint can be pressed.

  Here, the combination of the configuration of the operation bodies 12 and 22, the pressing bodies 15 and 25, and the transmission body of the pressure point pushers 1 to 3 of the first embodiment to the third embodiment is not limited to the above. Specifically, the pressing body 15 of the pot pressing device 3 of the third embodiment may have the same configuration as the pressing body 25 of the pot pressing device 2 of the second embodiment. In this case, the movable member 24 can be brought close to the grip portion 23b to pull the wire 30, and the projection 28 can be protruded from the hole portion 26d of the footrest portion 26c to press the pressure points on the sole.

  In addition, the shape of the cylinder is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and the cross-sectional shape may be a square or hexagonal cylinder. A return mechanism such as a tension spring that biases the pressing member of the pressing body toward the holding position may be provided in the cylinder.

  Furthermore, the position of the protrusion of the pressing member is not limited to the center of the pressing member. For example, in the case where protrusions are provided on one of the left and right sides of the pressing member, the place where the foot is pressed can be changed to the other of the left and right by changing the direction in which the foot is inserted into the foot insertion part.

  Moreover, although the case where the cylinder, the operating body, and the pressing body are formed of resin is illustrated above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be made of metal or wood.

  Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various improvements and design changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is.
