In addition, in the following description, the "front extension part 10" of this embodiment is arranged in the substantially horizontal direction, so it will be called the "horizontal massage member 10." Moreover, since the "upper extending portion 11" of this embodiment is arranged in a substantially vertical direction, it will be referred to as a "vertical massage member 11."

In this embodiment, the massage member 6 (first treatment element) is formed into a substantially L-shape (boot-shape) in side view so as to follow the lower leg L extending from the calf C to the foot F. be. This massage member 6 is arranged within the insertion recess 4.
That is, the massage member 6 is arranged so as to sandwich the foot F, and a pair of left and right horizontal massage members 10 that apply a massage action to the foot F, and the left and right horizontal massage members 10 are arranged so as to sandwich the calf C. It has a pair of left and right vertical massage members 11 that apply a massage action. This massage member 6 has a vertical massage member 11 disposed above a horizontal massage member 10.

The horizontal massage member 10 is arranged within the case body 2 so as to protrude substantially horizontally and toward the front. That is, the horizontal massage member 10 is a member formed to protrude forward from the base end side of the massage member 6.
The horizontal massage member 10 is shaped to cover the foot F from the sides, with the front end covering the toe T and the rear end covering the heel H. A pair of horizontal massage members 10 are provided on the left and right sides. The horizontal massage member 10 applies a massage action to the foot F inserted into the insertion recess 4 by pushing it from the outside and the inside.

The vertical massage member 11 is arranged within the case body 2 so as to protrude substantially vertically and upward. That is, the vertical massage member 11 is a member formed to rise upward from the base end side of the massage member 6.
The vertical massage member 11 is shaped to cover the calf C from the side. A pair of left and right vertical massage members 11 are provided. The vertical massage member 11 applies a massage action to the calf C inserted into the insertion recess 4 by pushing it from the outside and inside.

A converter 9 that converts the rotational driving force of the rotating shaft 7 into a rocking motion of the massage member 6 is provided at the base end (center in the longitudinal direction) of the massage member 6 of this embodiment. In other words, the horizontal massage member 10 and the vertical massage member 11 of this embodiment are connected with the converter 9 interposed therebetween.
The massage member 6 includes an inner massage member 6a that is pushed outward into the lower leg L, and an outer massage member 6b that faces the inner massage member 6a and is pushed inward into the lower leg L.

The inner massage member 6a and the outer massage member 6b have the same boot shape (approximately L-shape) in order to sandwich the lower leg L from the side, and are reversed in the left-right direction (mirror image reversal) and arranged at a predetermined interval. This is what I did.
For example, in the case of the left leg (left lower leg L), the inner massage member 6a contacts the inner side of the left leg and pushes it outward (leftward). The outer massage member 6b contacts the outer side of the left leg and is pushed inward (rightward).

On the other hand, in the case of the right leg (right lower leg L), the inner massage member 6a contacts the inner side of the right leg and pushes it outward (rightward). The outer massage member 6b contacts the outer side of the right leg and is pushed inward (leftward).
The inner massaging member 6a is arranged so as to be in contact with the inner side of the foot F (on the thumb side), and the horizontal massage member 10a is pushed outward against the inner side of the foot F, and the inner massaging member 6a is arranged so as to be in contact with the inner side of the calf C. It has a vertical massage member 11a that is arranged and pushed outward against the inside of the calf C.

The outer massage member 6b is arranged so as to be in contact with the outer side of the foot F (on the little finger side), and the horizontal massage member 10b, which is pushed inward against the outer side of the foot F, is arranged so as to be in contact with the outer side of the calf C. It has a vertical massage member 11b that is arranged and pushed inwardly against the outside of the calf C.
When the inner horizontal massage member 10a and the outer horizontal massage member 10b come close and pinch the foot F, the inner vertical massage member 11a and the outer vertical massage member 11b separate to loosen the pinching of the calf C. Subsequently, when the inner horizontal massage member 10a and the outer horizontal massage member 10b separate and loosen the grip on the foot F, the inner vertical massage member 11a and the outer vertical massage member 11b come close to sandwich the calf C. .

In this way, by alternately repeating the approach and separation between the inner horizontal massage member 10a and the outer horizontal massage member 10b, and the approach and separation between the inner vertical massage member 11a and the outer vertical massage member 11b, the inner massage member 6a and the outer massage member 6b (first treatment element) perform a "kneading massage" in which the lower leg L (first treatment part) from the foot F to the calf C is rubbed in a sandwiching manner. Moreover, since the press massage member 12 moves together with the horizontal massage member 10a, the massage elements 13 press and press the sole U at regular intervals.

That is, the area in front of the rotating shaft 7 is the seat massage area, and the area behind the rotating shaft 7 is the seat massage area.

On the left and/or right side of the horizontal massage member 10, a pressure massage member 12 is provided that applies a pressure massage operation to the sole U such as the arch of the foot. This pressing massage member 12 is formed in an arm shape extending from one side to the other side so as to correspond to the sole U of the foot F inserted into the insertion recess 4.
Note that the pressure massage member 12 can change its position in the front-rear direction. Thereby, the size of the foot portion F can be accommodated. Furthermore, a spherical treatment element 13 is attached to the tip of the pressing massage member 12. The treatment element 13 applies a pressure massage motion to the sole U, such as pressing strongly with a thumb or the like. Note that the treatment element 13 may be rotatably attached to the press massage member 12.

That is, the pressing massage member 12 is integrated with the horizontal massage member 10, and in conjunction with the massage operation in which the horizontal massage member 10 pinches the foot F from the sides, the massage element 13 is brought close to the sole U and moved upward. Repeat the motion of pressing while pushing in and then moving away from the sole U of the foot.
By the way, in this embodiment, the pressure massage member 12 is attached to the inner horizontal massage member 10a so as to be integrated, but it may be attached to the outer horizontal massage member 10b.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the massage drive unit 8 (swinging mechanism) rotates the rotating shaft 7, converts the rotational driving force of the rotating shaft 7 into a swinging motion in the converting unit 9, A massage member 6 (first treatment element) consisting of a horizontal massage member 10 and a vertical massage member 11 is subjected to a massage operation.
The massage drive section 8 is equipped with one drive motor 14. That is, the massage drive unit 8 includes a drive motor 14 that generates rotational driving force, and a gear case 15 that reduces the rotational driving force to a predetermined speed and transmits it to the rotating shaft 7.

However, the rear arm member 28 and lower arm member 36 of this embodiment are formed of elastic members that bend slightly when a predetermined load is applied, instead of the spring members 33, 41, etc. of the first embodiment. Similarly, the rear treatment element 29 and the lower treatment element 37 are also formed of elastic members that are slightly bendable.
[Operation mode]
Below, the operating mode of the massage machine 1 of the present invention will be explained.

First, the operating mode of the lower limb massage mechanism 3 will be explained.
The user sits on a general chair or the like and inserts the lower leg L (first treatment section) into the insertion recess 4 (opening of the lower leg massage area) of the massage machine 1 placed in front of the chair.
In the case of the massage machine 1 of the first embodiment, the user inserts the lower leg L into the insertion recess 4 from behind. Furthermore, in the case of the massage machine 1 of the second embodiment, the user inserts the lower leg L into the insertion recess 4 from the front.

Here, when the user turns on the power of the massage machine 1, the lower limb massage mechanism 3 is activated. The drive motor 14 of the massage drive unit 8 outputs rotational driving force to the gear case 15 via the rotational drive shaft 14a. When the rotational driving force is input to the gear case 15, the rotational driving force is reduced to a predetermined speed by the plurality of gears 15a, and then transmitted to the rotating shaft 7.
When the rotating shaft 7 rotates, the converter 9 converts the rotational driving force into a swinging motion of the massage member 6 (first treatment element) (approximation and separation motion of the horizontal massage member 10 and the vertical massage member 11). By the rotation of the rotating shaft 7, the front ends of the pair of horizontal massage members 10a, 10b approach each other and pinch the tip of the foot T (toe) from the side. At this time, the longitudinal midway portions and rear ends of the horizontal massage members 10a, 10b are in a state of being separated. In other words, the heel H side is not pushed in.

On the other hand, the upper ends of the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b are slightly apart. In other words, the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b are in a state in which they sandwich the calf C from the sides.
Subsequently, the longitudinal midway portions of the pair of horizontal massage members 10a and 10b approach each other and pinch the instep of the foot from the sides. At this time, the tips of the horizontal massage members 10a, 10b move away from each other, and the rear ends move closer to each other. In other words, the heel H side is pushed in. On the other hand, the upper ends of the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b approach each other and pinch the calf C from the sides.

Further, the rear ends of the pair of horizontal massage members 10a and 10b approach each other and sandwich the heel H side from the side. At this time, the middle portions of the horizontal massage members 10a, 10b in the longitudinal direction are separated, and the tips are in a separated state. On the other hand, the upper ends of the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b move closer together and further push in the calf C from the sides.

In the case of the massage machine 1 of the second embodiment, when the rotating shaft 7 rotates, the rotating massage member 42 applies a massage operation to the rear side of the calf C.
As described above, by the approaching and separating movements of the pair of horizontal massage members 10a and 10b (first treatment elements), the foot part F (first treatment part) is successively moved from the tip of the foot T (toe) to the top of the foot to the heel H. 2. Repeatedly pinching the calf C (first treatment part) from below to upward by pushing and pinching the calf C (first treatment part) by moving the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b (first treatment elements) toward and away from each other. This allows the blood flow to be pushed up to the upper part of the lower limb L (from the foot F (tip T) to the upper part of the calf C). That is, the massage machine 1 of the present invention can provide an effective massage feeling that promotes blood circulation in the lower limbs L.

Next, the operation mode of the seat massage mechanism 23 will be explained.
The user sits on the seat 21 of the seat massage area and leans against the backrest 22 with his or her upper body tilted. Here, when the user turns on the power of the massage machine 1, the seat massage mechanism 23 is activated. The drive motor 14 of the massage drive unit 8 outputs rotational driving force to the gear case 15 via the rotational drive shaft 14a. When the rotational driving force is input to the gear case 15, the rotational driving force is reduced to a predetermined speed by the plurality of gears 15a, and then transmitted to the rotating shaft 7.

When the rotary shaft 7 rotates, the converter 9 converts the rotational driving force into a swinging motion of the massage member 6 (approximation/separation motion of the horizontal massage member 10 and the vertical massage member 11). As the rotation shaft 7 rotates, the front ends of the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b approach each other.
At this time, the rear massage section 24 (rear arm member 28) attached to the inner vertical massage member 11a (inner massage member 6a) swings in a substantially horizontal direction. That is, the left rear arm member 28 and the right rear arm member 28 swing outward in the left-right direction.

The left rear treatment element 29 (second treatment element) and the right rear treatment element 29 (second treatment element) are separated.
On the other hand, the side massage section 25 (side arm member 34) attached to the outer vertical massage member 11b (outer massage member 6b) swings in a substantially horizontal direction. That is, the left side arm member 34 and the right side arm member 34 swing inward in the left-right direction. The left side treatment element 35 (second treatment element) and the right side treatment element 35 (second treatment element) are close to each other.

Further, when the front ends of the pair of horizontal massage members 10a and 10b approach each other due to the rotation of the rotating shaft 7, the lower massage part 26 (lower arm member 36a) attached to the inner horizontal massage member 10a (inner massage member 6a) , 36b) swing in a substantially horizontal direction. That is, the left lower arm members 36a, 36b and the right lower arm members 36a, 36b swing outward in the left-right direction. The left lower treatment elements 37a, 37b (second treatment elements) and the right lower treatment elements 37a, 37b (second treatment elements) are separated.

Subsequently, when the front ends of the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b are separated, the left rear arm member 28 and the right rear arm member 28 swing inward in the left-right direction. The left rear treatment element 29 and the right rear treatment element 29 are close to each other. On the other hand, the left side arm member 34 and the right side arm member 34 swing outward in the left-right direction. The left side treatment element 35 and the right side treatment element 35 are separated.

Further, when the front ends of the pair of horizontal massage members 10a, 10b are separated, the left lower arm members 36a, 36b and the right lower arm members 36a, 36b swing inward in the left-right direction. The lower treatment elements 37a, 37b on the left side and the lower treatment elements 37a, 37b on the right side are close to each other.
As described above, the rear treatment element 29 (second treatment element) moves from the rear to the front with respect to the user's back B, waist W, etc. (second treatment part) by the approaching and separating movements of the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b. Massage is performed by pressing and rubbing as if applying shiatsu, and the side treatment element 35 (second treatment element) is applied from the outside to the inside of the user's lumbar side S (second treatment part). A "pushing massage" is performed, and the pair of horizontal massage members 10a, 10b move toward and away from each other, so that the lower treatment elements 37a, 37b (second treatment elements) are applied to the user's buttocks A (second treatment part), etc. On the other hand, by repeating a massage that presses and rubs from the bottom to the top, it can be applied to the back B, side of the waist S, buttocks A, etc. by relaxing the muscles, etc. of the upper body. It is possible to provide an effective massage sensation that relieves stiffness and promotes blood circulation.

According to the present invention, with one device, the first massager massages the user's lower limbs L (first treatment area) such as the foot F and calf C, and also massages the user's back B and lumbar area W. , the lateral waist S, the buttocks A, and other upper body parts (second treatment section) can be massaged by the second treatment element.
