Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a rear view of the massage tool 1A according to the first embodiment. In the following description, the arrow Z1 in the figure is upward, Z2 is downward, X1 is right, and X2 is left. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view showing the back surface side of the massage tool 1A. Specifically, FIG. 2 shows a field of view when the left latter half of the back surface side of the massage tool 1A is observed backward.

The massage tool 1A includes a top-type wearing tool 2A that is worn on the upper body of the human body. In the illustrated example, the fitting 2A has a tank top shape, but is not limited to this, and may be in the shape of, for example, a T-shirt, a camisole, a polo shirt, a shirt, or a blouse. The fitting 2A is made of elastic fabric 21 such as cotton or polyester.

The fitting 2A is provided with a plurality of elongated pockets 23 for accommodating the plurality of massage spheres 3. The pocket 23 is formed by sewing or adhering both widthwise edges of the strip-shaped cloth piece 22 to the back surface side of the cloth 21. Like the cloth 21, the strip-shaped cloth piece 22 is also made of an elastic material such as cotton or polyester.

A plurality of massage spheres 3 are housed inside the pocket 23 side by side in the extending direction of the pocket 23. The massage sphere 3 is, for example, a spherical object having a diameter of about 10 to 50 mm. In the illustrated example, the number of massage spheres 3 accommodated in one pocket 23 is four, but the number is not limited to this, and may be, for example, any one of 1 to 3, or 5 or more. May be good.

The massage sphere 3 is made of foamed plastic such as polyethylene or polystyrene. Specifically, it is preferable that the massage sphere 3 is formed by molding foamed plastic into a spherical shape with a mold. Not limited to this, the massage sphere 3 may be made of wood or the like. The massage sphere 3 may differ from each other in shape, size, and at least one of the materials.

The two pockets 23 are arranged apart from each other on both the left and right sides of the center of the rear portion of the fitting 2A, and extend mainly in the vertical direction. The position of the pocket 23 corresponds to the area of the back of the human body between the spine and the scapula. The lower half of the pocket 23 extends in the vertical direction, and the upper half of the pocket 23 extends while curving so as to spread outward to the left and right as it goes upward.

The length of the pocket 23 in the extending direction is larger than the total diameter of the plurality of massage spheres 3 housed in the pocket 23. As a result, a gap can be formed between the plurality of massage spheres 3 housed in the pocket 23.

For example, the upper portion of the strip-shaped cloth piece 22 forming the pocket 23 has the same shape as the shoulder portion of the tank top-shaped cloth 21, and the edge portion 27 in which the neck circumference and the shoulder circumference of the cloth 21 are folded back. , 28 are sewn together. Further, the lower end portion of the strip-shaped cloth piece 22 is sewn together with the edge portion 29 in which the lower edge of the cloth 21 is folded back.

An opening 2a for putting in and taking out the massage sphere 3 is formed in the upper part of the pocket 23. The opening 2a is formed by a part of the edge of the strip-shaped piece of cloth 22 not being sewn or adhered to the cloth 21. In the illustrated example, the opening 2a is formed by the lower edge of the upper part of the cloth piece 22 extending outward and upward on the left and right, and the opening 2a opens outward and downward on the left and right.

Here, the opening direction P of the opening 2a of the pocket 23 is different from the extending direction E of the pocket 23. In the illustrated example, the extension direction E and the opening direction P of the pocket 23 are orthogonal to each other by forming the opening 2a by the widthwise edge of the strip-shaped cloth piece 22 forming the pocket 23. This makes it possible to prevent the massage sphere 3 from falling out of the pocket 23.

Not limited to this, as shown in FIG. 3, by diagonally crossing the end of the cloth piece 22 forming the opening 2a in the stretching direction E with respect to the stretching direction E, the opening direction P of the opening 2a is stretched in the pocket 23. It may be different from the direction E.

Returning to the description of FIG. 2, the pocket 23 has a hole diameter similar to the diameter of the massage sphere 3. Specifically, the hole diameter of the pocket 23 is smaller than the diameter of the massage sphere 3 in the unexpanded state, for example, in the state where the massage sphere 3 is not accommodated.

Further, the hole diameter of the pocket 23 is the same as or larger than the diameter of the massage sphere 3 in the most expanded state. In the illustrated example, the hole diameter of the pocket 23 is the same as the diameter of the massage sphere 3 in the most widened state.

Therefore, the portion W3 of the pocket 23 in contact with the massage sphere 3 is extended so that the hole diameter is widened by the massage sphere 3, and the other portion, for example, between two adjacent massage spheres 3. The hole diameter is larger than that of the portion W2.

However, the hole diameter of the pocket 23 is such that two or more massage spheres 3 cannot pass through at the same time even in the most widened state. Therefore, the positions of the massage spheres 3 arranged in the stretching direction E inside the pocket 23 cannot be exchanged.

Further, the diameter of the opening 2a is also smaller than the diameter of the massage sphere 3 in the unexpanded state, and is the same as or smaller than the diameter of the massage sphere 3 in the most expanded state, like the hole diameter of the pocket 23. Is also formed to be large.

When the massage tool 1A configured as described above is attached to the upper body of the human body, the attachment tool 2A is extended and the movement of the plurality of massage spheres 3 is restricted. That is, when the attachment 2A is stretched, the pocket 23 is stretched in at least one of the stretching direction E and the width direction orthogonal to the stretching direction E, so that the massage sphere 3 is tightened by the pocket 23, and as a result, the massage sphere 3 moves. Is restricted.

On the other hand, when the massage tool 1A is not attached to the upper body of the human body, the positions of the plurality of massage spheres 3 in the stretching direction E can be adjusted. That is, in the state where the attachment 2A is not extended, the tightening of the massage sphere 3 by the pocket 23 is weaker than in the state where the attachment 2A is extended, so that the massage sphere 3 is manually handed from the outside of the pocket 23. The position of can be adjusted.

Therefore, the user of the massage tool 1A can adjust the massage sphere 3 in the pocket 23 to a desired position before mounting, and the massage sphere 3 is maintained at the adjusted position at the time of mounting, which is desired by the body. It becomes easy to obtain a massage effect at the above points.

Further, since a plurality of massage spheres 3 are housed in the pocket 23, the user can freely adjust the distance between the massage spheres 3 by moving one or both of the two adjacent massage spheres 3. It is also possible to do.
