This is a mechanism in which the embedded state is exposed (see FIGS. 8 and 11). Then, the bottom surface portion of the recess 31 a including the upper surface of the mechanism portion 20 in the embedded state is used as a mounting portion of the pressing body portion 10. When the base 32 is attached with the cover 32 on the upper side and the recess 31a is covered with the cover 32, a closed storage space 35 is generated (see FIG. 11).

The cover part 32 is arranged so as to be detachable from the base part 31 and capable of opening and closing the storage space 35 while forming a storage space 35 capable of housing the pressing main body part 10 between the cover part 32 and the base part 31. The shape and thickness of the object housed in the housing space 35, specifically, the pressing body portion 10 and the surface shape of the base are indistinguishable from the outside of the cover 32. is there.

The cover part 32 can be removed from the base part 31 and opened in the storage space 35 with respect to the base part 31, and the pressing main body parts 10 can be left in the storage space 35 as they are or after being folded as necessary. It is said that. In addition, the cover part 32 mounts each pressing main body part 10 on the base part 31 and then attaches the cover part 32 to the base part 31, and stores each pressing main body part 10 in the storage space 35 while the base part part. When the storage space 35 is closed with respect to 31, the entire upper side of the base 31 with each pressing body 10 is covered.

In the buffer unit 30, when the cover unit 32 is detachable from the base unit 31 and the cover unit 32 opens the storage space 35 to the base unit 31, the cover unit 32 is removed from the base unit 31. When the storage space is open, the cover portion 32 is once separated from the base portion 31, and the upper side of the base portion 31 can be widely opened. When the pressing main body portion 10 is used, the cover portion 32 is removed from the base portion 31. The pressing body 10 can be easily taken out from the base.

In addition, when the cover portion 32 closes the storage space 35 with respect to the base portion 31, the removed cover portion 32 is attached to the base portion 31, so that the pressing main body portion 10 can be attached after the use of the massage is finished. When the cover body 32 is folded and appropriately placed on the base 31, and the cover 32 is attached to the base 31, the pressing body 10 can be smoothly and reliably stored in the storage space 35. It is possible to efficiently handle the pressing body 10 and the like.

The attachment of the cover portion 32 to the base portion 31 is performed by maintaining the state where the cover portion 32 is covered up to the side surface of the base portion 31 by the expansion and contraction force of the mouth portion of the cover portion, as well as buttons, hooks, and surface fasteners. It is also possible to perform the engagement by using an engaging means such as a line fastener. When the cover portion 32 is attached to the base portion 31 (see FIG. 10), the cushioning portion 30 has a shape like a general thick cushion, and does not give a feeling of strangeness even if it is left in the room as it is. Therefore, there is no problem even if it is left out without storing it when not in use, and in that case, it is not necessary to store it in a storage space such as a closet or a closet, and the labor and space for storage can be omitted.

Next, a massage preparation and a massage execution state for the user's legs and feet of the massager according to the present embodiment will be described. As a premise, the pressing body 10 of the massager 1 has a size such that the user's foot 70 or leg using the massager can be inserted and mounted on the outer circumference of these. Further, it is assumed that when the mechanical section 20 is connected to the power source and the electric power is normally supplied, the pump section 21 and the electromagnetic valves 22a, 22b, 22c, 22d are appropriately operated by the control of the control section 23.

As a preparatory work, first, the user puts the pressing body unit 10 in the buffer unit 30 and places the integrated massage device 1 on the floor, removes the cover unit 32 of the buffer unit 30 from the base unit 31, and presses it. The main body portion 10 is extended apart from the base portion 31 so that it can be attached to a leg or the like. Subsequently, the engagement of the line fastener 11d as the engaging means of the front portion of the leg pressing portion 11 is released to bring the leg pressing portion 11 into an expanded state, and the entrance of the hollow portion of the expanded leg pressing portion 11 is It should be open from the top. The user inserts and accommodates the foot 70 and the leg in the leg pressing portion 11, and when the leg pressing portion 11 is positioned around the leg of the user, the line fastener 11d is engaged and attached.

In this state, the first airbag 11a of the airbags 11a and 11b of the leg pushing portion 11 of the pushing body 10 is located on the left and right sides of the calf, and the second airbag 11b is located behind the calf. positioned. Further, among the airbags 12a, 12b, 12c of the foot pressing portion 12, the third airbag 12a is located on the outer side (lower side) of the sole portion of the foot (see FIG. 6), and the fourth airbag 12b. Is located on the outer side (upper side) of the instep part of the foot, and the fifth airbag 12c is located on the outer side of the region extending from the rear side of the heel to the left and right side surfaces (see FIG. 5).

Then, the user arranges the base portion 31 within the reach of the user so that the operation portion 40 on the upper portion of the base portion 31 can be operated, and then the user operates the operation portion 40 in a massage mode or the like. When an operation such as inputting an instruction is performed, the control unit 23 starts operation control, and the control unit 23 sends a control command to the pump unit 21 and the solenoid valves 22a, 22b, 22c, 22d as the air supply/discharge mechanism. The air bags 11a, 11b, 12a, 12b, 12c are respectively inflated and deflated by operating them.

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

For example, when the foot pressing unit 12 uniformly inflates all of the airbags 12a, 12b, 12c, the control unit 23 sends a control command to the pump unit 21 as the air supply/discharge mechanism and the electromagnetic valves 22c, 22d. Then, the third airbag 22, the fifth airbag 24, and the fourth airbag 23 are each supplied with air for a predetermined time, and each airbag is inflated to inflate the soles of the feet. Press the part, the instep, and around the heel. By inflating the three airbags 12a, 12b, 12c in this manner, the entire foot can be pressed so as to be uniformly tightened.

After a lapse of a predetermined time, the control unit 23 sends a control command to the air supply/exhaust mechanism to stop air supply and hold the pressure to stop air supply to the airbags 12a, 12b, 12c, while exhausting air. If not, the inflated state of each airbag is maintained for a further predetermined time. After that, the control unit 23 sends a new control command to the air supply/exhaust mechanism, shifts it to the exhaust state, contracts each airbag by exhaust for a predetermined time, and ends the series of inflation/deflation processes. .. The above series of expansion and contraction processes can be repeated a plurality of times as necessary.

On the other hand, also in the leg pressing portion 11, the airbag is inflated/deflated according to a predetermined inflation/deflation pattern at the same time as the foot pressing portion 12 or at a different timing. For example, a case will be described in which after inflating each airbag of the foot pressing unit 12, all the airbags 11a and 11b of the leg pressing unit 11 are uniformly inflated.

The control unit 23 sends a control command to the pump unit 21 and the solenoid valves 22a and 22b as the air supply/discharge mechanism of the airbags 11a and 11b, so that the first airbag 11a and the second airbag 11b are controlled. Air is supplied to both, and each airbag is inflated to press the calf of the leg. Air supply is continued for a predetermined time, and the pressed state also continues during that time.

By inflating the two airbags 11a and 11b in this manner, the entire calf can be pressed so as to be tightened. Thus, in the calf, it is possible to generate a state in which the bloodstream is generated by compressing and tightening it from the surroundings (so-called milking) like milking of a cow.

After a lapse of a predetermined time, the control unit 23 sends a control command to the air supply/exhaust mechanism to stop air supply and hold pressure to stop air supply to the airbags 11a and 11b, but does not exhaust air yet. In this way, the inflated state of each airbag is maintained for a further predetermined time. After that, the control unit 23 sends a new control command to the air supply/discharge mechanism, shifts it to the exhaust state, contracts each airbag by exhaust for a predetermined time, and ends a series of inflation/deflation processes. . The above series of expansion and contraction processes can be repeated a plurality of times as necessary.
In the above example, the foot pressing unit 12 and the leg pressing unit 11 press the airbags at different timings, so that massage can be performed so as to generate blood flow from the foot to the leg and further in the direction of raising the leg.

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 23 performs massage. By inflating and deflating the airbags 11a, 11b, 12a, 12b, 12c according to the mode, the user can perform an effective combination of pressing by the airbags without requiring special operation. It can be easily generated and an efficient massage can be received. As the massage mode, a combination of expansion and contraction patterns may be repeated a plurality of times.

When the massage by the massager is finished, the user removes the tube 25 and the power cable 24 from the mechanism unit 20 while disengaging the line fastener of the leg pressing unit 11 and restraining the leg pressing unit 11 and the foot pressing unit 12. And then remove the leg and foot 70 from the pressing body 10 to remove the pressing body 10 from the leg and foot 70. With respect to the pressing main body 10 removed from the legs or the like, the linear fasteners on the front side of the leg pressing unit 11 are engaged to suppress the spread of the leg pressing unit 11, and the same can be folded or reduced as necessary (Fig. 8), and can be placed on the base 31.

Then, the user puts the pressing main body portion 10 into the concave portion 31a of the base portion 31 which has been opened in advance, and when the pressing main body portion 10 is properly set (see FIGS. 8 and 9), covers the base portion 31 with the cover portion 32. Attached and integrated as a buffer unit 30 (see FIG. 10). As a result, a state in which the pressing main body 10 is housed in the buffer portion 30 and the massage device 1 as a whole is integrated is obtained. The massage device 1 in which only the cushioning portion 30 is located at the outermost periphery and is integrated, can be freely handled, such as being placed on the floor as it is, placed on a chair, or stored in a predetermined storage space. You can

As described above, the massager according to the present embodiment operates the airbag with respect to the pressing main body 10 that surrounds a predetermined range of legs and feet including the massage target portion and enables massage with the airbag. Since the periphery of 20 is covered with a buffer portion 30 having a base portion 31 and a cover portion 32 and can be isolated from an external space, a person or an object may directly hit the mechanism portion 20, or the mechanism portion 20 may be on the floor. It is possible to prevent a situation where the mechanical unit 20 is dropped or collided with and a shock is applied to the mechanical unit 20 to prevent a failure of the mechanical unit 20 and a person does not directly hit a hard portion of the mechanical unit 20. You can also secure safety. When the pressing main body 10 when not in use is placed on the base 31, the cover 32 is attached to the base 31, and the storage space 35 is closed, the pressing main body 10 is stored in the storage space 35. Since the entire massager can be integrated, the pressing body 10 and the mechanism 20 do not have to be handled individually when preparing or storing the massager, and the amount can be moved as a unit. The user's annoyance can be eliminated and usability can be improved.

Further, when the pressing main body 10 when not in use is stored in the storage space 35, the massager as a whole can be made compact, the storage space as a massager can be suppressed, and the base 31 and the cover can be reduced. The appearance composed of 32 is hard to recognize as a massage device, and even if it is placed in the room as it is, it does not cause a feeling of strangeness, and thus the degree of freedom in handling is enhanced and usability is improved.

In the massager according to the above-described embodiment, the cushioning portion 30 is formed in a cylindrical shape that is round when viewed from above, but the configuration is not limited to this, and it may be a shape that is rectangular when viewed from above. It can also be formed. Further, although the upper surface of the cover portion 32 is flat, it may be formed in another shape such as a curved shape bulging upward. Further, the cover portion 32 has a shape having a corner portion that clearly separates the upper surface and the side surface, but instead of this, a shape in which the corner portion is rounded and chamfered or there is no clear corner portion in the first place, It is also possible to adopt a configuration having a curved outer surface that also serves as the upper surface.

In addition, in the massager according to the above-described embodiment, the power is supplied to each part of the mechanism 20 in the base 31 by the built-in power supply unit connected to the commercial power supply or the like, but the configuration is not limited to this. An external power source (not shown) such as an AC adapter may be connected to the mechanism section 20 via a predetermined power source connection section to supply power. Further, the base portion or the mechanism portion may be configured to have a built-in battery as a power source for a pump portion, a solenoid valve or the like for operating each airbag.

In this case, since the battery serving as a power source is built in the mechanism unit so that it is not necessary to introduce electric power for operating the supply/discharge mechanism and the like from the outside, the power source connecting unit and the external power source are connected before use. No work is required, and the user's annoyance can be eliminated. In addition, parts such as cables for connecting the power supply connection portion to the power supply can be omitted, and the user does not have to be restrained by such cables during use, and the degree of freedom in handling is improved and usability is improved. ..

Batteries include general dry batteries (manganese batteries, alkaline batteries) and secondary batteries (nickel-hydrogen batteries, lithium-ion batteries) in which the active material is retained, as well as fuel cells that can be supplemented with the active material. A small one can also be used.

In this way, when adopting the battery as the power source, if there is an opportunity to frequently replace the battery built in the base part or the mechanical part, a part of the base part 31 or the mechanical part 20 for battery replacement is used. May be opened, and in response to this partial opening, the base 31 may be provided with an engaging means such as a fastener for opening only a part of the base 31 as necessary.

Further, when a rechargeable secondary battery is built-in and used as a power source of the mechanism unit 20, when introducing power for charging the battery, the bottom of the base unit 31 is only brought close to or in contact with the charger. It is also possible to provide a wireless charging mechanism that enables charging with, and to charge the base part 31 when charging, by placing the base part 31 on a charger and bringing it close to the charger. The user does not have to perform the work of connecting the terminal portion and the external charger with a cable or the like, and the user's annoyance can be eliminated and the usability can be further improved.

Further, in the massage device according to the above-described embodiment, a plurality of airbags are provided as the pressing means in the pressing main body 10, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the massage target of the user wearing the pressing main body is not limited to this.
