Abstract

PURPOSE:To independently or simultaneously give a rolling massage or a rolling finger-pressure massage at an arbitrary position by arranging a support running roller to the relative regions of the vertical rails of a finger-pressure mechanism in a pinched state and arranging revolving rollers respectively protruding toward a finger-pressure protruding element on both lower sides of the finger-pressure mechanism fixing part of a lifter. CONSTITUTION:When a rolling massage is given, a user sits down on a chair 20 so that the back of user is brought into contact with the backrest part 22 of the chair 20 and a drive motor 30 is operated. A vertical screw shaft 31 is rotated by the operation of the drive motor 30 and the revolving roller 60 supported by a mechanism frame body is moved up and down, and the rolling massage is repeatedly given to the back of the user. When finger- pressure massage is desired to be given, the drive motor 30 is operated to stop the mechanism frame body at an arbitrary position (the favorite position of the user) to operate a finger- pressure prime mover 41. The finger-pressure protruding element 55 of a finger-pressure mechanism 40 is forcibly subjected to linear reciprocating motion by the operation of the finger-pressure prime move motor 41 to repeatedly apply finger-pressure to the back of the user. When the rolling massage and the finger-pressure massage are desired to be simultaneously performed, both of the drive motor 30 and the finger-pressure prime mover motor 41 are operated simultaneously.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a pine surge device with a shiatsu mechanism, which is a rolling pine surge machine in which a rotary roller can be raised and lowered continuously and can be raised and lowered at will, with a shiatsu mechanism. It is something.

(Prior art and its problems) A number of pine surgery machines have been developed to perform pine surgery on the back of the human body. A rolling pine surge machine that rubs and massages the back of the human body by screwing together a massaging member equipped with a massaging ball and moving it up and down continuously; Equipped with a mechanism and a beating mechanism, the rotary roller is moved up and down continuously, and the kneading mechanism and the beating mechanism are operated to massage the back of the human body, perform pine surgery, pounding pine surgery, rubbing pine surgery, and combinations of these pine surgery. Rolling pine surge machines and the like are already well known, and are especially useful to general users because they are easy to use and effective.

Incidentally, in recent years, an acupressure pine surge device has been developed in which the acupressure protrusions move in and out of the body to perform acupressure pine surgery on the back of the human body.

Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show an example of the acupressure pine surge device.
No. 29746), a plurality of acupressure protrusions 2 that protrude and retract from a back support base plate 1 are constituted by a cylindrical outer protrusion 4 and an inner protrusion 5 that moves up and down within the outer protrusion 4, Outer projection 4
The support part 6 of the outer protrusion 4 is mounted on the guide rod 8 so as to be able to move up and down in a regulated manner, and the support part 7 of the inner protrusion 5 is mounted within the support part 6 of the outer protrusion 4 so as to be movable up and down. A cam body 10 having a cam surface II for vertically moving the support section 6 of the outer protrusion 4 and a cam surface 12 for vertically moving the support section 7 of the inner protrusion 5 is disposed below the support sections 6 and 7. The inner protrusion 5 is configured to protrude and retract from the upper end surface of the outer protrusion 4 while the outer protrusion 4 is held at the most protruding position, and the outer protrusion and inner protrusion perform two stages of protrusion and retraction. This makes it possible to suppress aspects of the body shape through action.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional acupressure pine surge device, although a two-stage acupressure effect can be obtained using the outer protrusions 4 and the inner protrusions 5, the acupressure operation of these acupressure protrusions 2 is activated by the motor 13. Since the cam body is rotated by 1°, the engagement between the cam body 10 and the acupressure protrusion 2 is as follows.
The contact structure is such that the lower surface of the acupressure protrusion 2 is supported by the cam body 10.

Therefore, when this acupressure pine surge device is used, there is no problem when using it in the normal position as shown in the figure, since there is no structure to hold the cam body 10 and the acupressure protrusion 2. , when used in the reverse position (upside down),
Each cam roller 9 of the acupressure protrusion 2 and the cam body 10 are not in contact with each other, and only the cam body 10 idles and the acupressure protrusion 2
There is a problem that the guide rod does not move in and out, and even when the support part 6 and the guide rod 8 are tightly engaged,
The acupressure protrusion 2 that has protruded at one end does not return to its original position, resulting in the same problem as above that it cannot be moved in and out.

Therefore, in this kind of conventional acupressure pine surge device, the range of use and the angle of use are limited, and M also occurs due to the noise caused by the impact with the cam body.

(Object of the Invention) In view of the above-mentioned various problems, the present invention is capable of forcibly moving the acupressure prongs back and forth while being held at all times, thereby performing rolling pine surge and rolling acupressure at any position. The purpose of this invention is to provide a pine surgery device with an acupressure mechanism that can perform pine surgery alone or simultaneously.

(Structure of the Invention) That is, the pine surge device with acupressure mechanism of the present invention is a pine surge device that is installed in the back of a chair, and has vertical rails on both sides of a vertical screw shaft that can rotate forward and backward in conjunction with a drive motor. are arranged in parallel, an elevating body is screwed onto the screw shaft, and an acupressure protrusion provided at the tip is linked to an acupressure driving motor to force a linear back-and-forth movement. In order to fix the mechanism to the elevating body and to enable the acupressure mechanism to move up and down along the vertical rail, a support running roller is disposed in a pinching manner at a portion of the acupressure mechanism relative to the vertical rail. It is characterized in that rotary rollers protruding toward the acupressure protrusions are arranged on both sides of the lower part of the fixing lever.

(Actions of the Invention) Therefore, the pine massage device with acupressure mechanism of the present invention, configured as described above, brings about the following effects.

That is, when using the pine surge device with acupressure mechanism of the present invention, if only the drive motor is operated, the vertical screw shaft rotates in conjunction with this, and the elevating body moves up and down along the vertical rail. Rolling pine surge can be performed using rotating rollers in the same way as before.

In addition, by simply operating the drive motor to stop the elevating body at an arbitrary position (a position desired by the user) and operating the acupressure driving motor, the acupressure protrusions of the acupressure mechanism are forced to move back and forth in a straight line. Because you are exercising, you can perform full-fledged repeated acupressure at that position.

Incidentally, by operating the drive motor and the driving motor for acupressure at the same time, the rolling pine surge by the rotating roller and the repeated acupressure by the acupressure mechanism can be performed at the same time.
