[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-2156
In the pounding massage machine of Japanese Patent No. 8, the pounding balls 50, 5 are used.
Although 0 is adjusted as described above, the angle adjustment is performed only in the vertical direction, so that the left and right head portions 51, 51 can be adjusted only within the parallel planes. For this reason, when the hitting portion such as the waist and back is a curved surface, the beating ball 50 does not contact the hitting portion at a right angle but becomes slanted, which increases friction and the hitting portion by the hitting ball 50. There is a problem in that the vibration of the body is reduced and the effect of the hitting massage is reduced.

In the tapping massage machine disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 145422/1982, a plurality of tapping balls 54 are used when the hitting portion is small and has a curved surface such as a thigh or an arm.
Since the vibration axes of ... Are all parallel, the beating balls 54 do not abut the hitting portion at a right angle, but become slanted. For this reason, the friction is similarly increased, and the vibration to the hit part by the beating ball 54 is decreased, resulting in a decrease in the hitting massage effect.

The tapping massage machine described in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 3-3691 has a structure limited to shoulder tapping.
Since the beating balls 56, 56 are fixed so that the vibration axes thereof are always parallel to each other, they cannot be used on the waist, back, thighs, etc., or even if they are used, sufficient effects are obtained as in the conventional example. Couldn't get Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems,
It is an object of the invention to provide a beating massage machine capable of abutting a beating ball at a right angle against a beating portion having a curved surface such as a waist and a back.

[0008]

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pounding massage machine having a plurality of beating balls that are reciprocally driven, and the vibration axes of the beating balls intersect. is there. A pounding massage machine according to a second aspect is the pounding massager according to the first aspect, wherein the crossing angle of the vibration axes of the pounding ball is variable.

[0009]

According to the structure of the present invention, since the vibration axes of a plurality of beating balls intersect, the beating balls are brought into contact at right angles with the beating part having curved surfaces such as waist, back, arms and thighs. be able to. Therefore, the friction is not increased and the vibration to the hit portion is not reduced, and the hitting massage can be performed efficiently.

According to the second aspect, the crossing angle of the vibration axes of the plurality of hit balls can be variably adjusted according to the curvature of each hit part. As a result, the beating ball can be brought into contact with the hitting part at a right angle regardless of the part of the hitting part,
More efficient tapping massage can be done.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A pounding massage machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. This tapping massage machine includes a pair of head portions 1 and 1, a pair of grip portions 2a,
2b, a connecting member 3 for connecting the pair of head portions 1 and 1 is provided. The head portion 1 is composed of a central portion 1a accommodating the electromagnetic solenoid 4 and the like, and protruding portions 1b, 1b provided so as to protrude from the base end of the central portion 1a to both sides. A beating ball 5 is attached to the tip of the central portion 1a. The beating ball 5 is connected to the electromagnetic solenoid 4 and is reciprocally driven. Further, the protruding portion 1b has a hole-like shape, and an uneven portion 6 is provided on the inner peripheral surface thereof.

The pair of grip portions 2a and 2b are cylindrical bodies having bent ends. One grip portion 2a has a built-in switch 7, and the other grip portion 2b has an empty inside. One handle part 2
Regarding a, the power cord 8 is led from the switch 7 to the base end side. 9 is a power plug. Further, the tip ends of the pair of grip portions 2a and 2b are hole-shaped, and the uneven portion 10 is provided on the inner peripheral surface. The protrusions 1b, 1b on the outer sides of the head portions 1, 1 are attached to the grip portions 2a, by the cylinder 11 having the protrusions and recesses 10 and the protrusions and recesses that can be fitted to the protrusions and recesses 6 formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of both ends.
2b are connected and fixed.

The connecting member 3 is a bendable cylinder. Concavo-convex portions 12 that can fit into the concavo-convex portions 6 are formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of both ends thereof. In the attached state, both end portions of the connecting member 3 are inserted into the holes of the protruding portions 1b, 1b inside the head portions 1, 1 and fixed so that the concavo-convex portions 6 and 12 fit together. Further, an electric wire 15 connecting the electromagnetic solenoid 4 and the switch 7 is wired from one head portion 1 through the connecting member 3, the other head portion 1 and the inside of the cylinder 11 to the one grip portion 2a, or the other head portion. It is wired from 1 through the inside of the cylinder 11 to the one grip portion 2a.

Next, a method of using the tapping massage machine will be described. First, the power plug 9 is connected to a household power source and the switch 7 is operated. Then, the pair of grip portions 2a and 2b are lightly held by both hands so that the beating balls 5 and 5 come into contact with the portion to be massaged (tapping portion C).
At this time, when the hitting portion C is a region where the curvature of the waist or back is small and is relatively large, as shown in FIG. 1, the grip portions 2a and 2b are supported so as not to bend the connecting member 3 too much. The crossing angle B of the vibrating axes D, D of the beating balls 5, 5 is made small so that the vibrating axis D is perpendicular to the beating portion C. When the hitting portion is a portion where the arm, thigh or the like has a large curvature and is comparatively small, as shown in FIG. 2, the connecting member 3 is considerably curved to support the grip portions 2a and 2b. , 5 is increased so that the crossing angle B of the vibration axis D is made perpendicular to the hitting portion C.

In this embodiment, the beating balls 5, 5 are beaten so that the vibration axis D of the beating balls 5 is at a right angle to the hitting portion C having curved surfaces such as waist, back, arms and thighs. C
Can be brought into contact with. For this reason, it is possible to efficiently perform a hitting massage without increasing friction and reducing the vibration to the hitting portion C due to the slanting contact of the hitting ball 5. Also, by variably adjusting the crossing angle B of the vibration axes D of the beating balls 5, 5, the abutting balls 5 are abutted at right angles to the beating parts C according to the curvatures of the respective beating parts C. It is possible to perform a hit massage efficiently for each hit part C.

The number of heads 1 and the number of beating balls 5 may be two or more, and each head 1 may be connected by a plurality of connecting members 3. Further, the connecting member 3 may not be bendable, and the intersection angle B may be constant. A motor can be used instead of the electromagnetic solenoid 4.

[0017]

According to the pounding massage machine of the present invention, since the vibration axes of a plurality of tapping balls intersect,
A beating ball can be abutted at a right angle to a hitting portion having a curved surface such as a back, an arm, and a thigh. Therefore, the friction is not increased and the vibration to the hit portion is not reduced, and the hitting massage can be performed efficiently.

According to the second aspect, the crossing angle of the vibration axes of the plurality of hit balls can be variably adjusted according to the curvature of each hit part. As a result, the beating ball can be brought into contact with the hitting part at a right angle regardless of the part of the hitting part,
More efficient tapping massage can be done.
