[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an apparatus used for a massage (rubbing) treatment health method for feet, hands, and the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 5000 years ago, in China, we know that human feet have reflex areas (acupoints) that communicate with various organs and parts of the human body, and it is described in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Sutra as a method of toes. In 1913, American W. Due to Fijigerald's systematic research on reflex therapy, it is regarded as important in the Western medical community and has spread worldwide. The present invention relates to a device used for this foot massage (rubbing) treatment and health method.

[0003] Conventionally, many devices relating to a massage (rubbing) treatment health method for hands, feet and the like have been devised. For example, from old times, there are things such as stepping on vertical splits of green bamboo, and those with many protrusions attached to the surface of sandals, slippers, etc.The treatment is performed by changing the distribution and height of the protrusions. Many ideas that have given effect have been registered and put on the market. However, these are the stimuli to the extent that a person can move his / her foot by himself or hold an object with protrusions (for example, a walnut-like object of a walnut) with his / her hands, and the practitioner's peculiar gripping force operation is performed. Such an effect was not obtained. In addition, there are many electric massagers, but they are not only complicated in structure, require electric power, are expensive, and are different from the practitioner's unique operation.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Although it is important to step on the above-mentioned green bamboo, sandals, and protrusions on the slippers, more detailed details are given in China, Taiwan, etc., which are widely used in Japan. However, this requires a strong grasping force and skill by a specialist practitioner, especially the feet and the acupoints of the hands to be supported by the palm and the fingertips. Etc. to perform massage by giving a weak-strong-weak change to the operation, and appropriately setting and pressing a reflection zone (acupoint) deeply located in a narrow space between the malleolus. It is not easy to do this by yourself using your own palms and fingers, or by holding a stick as an auxiliary, and it is necessary to take a fairly unreasonable posture to do this. It is also important to do these without damaging the skin of the hands and feet. It is. The present inventor has arrived at the present invention as a result of research taking these points into consideration.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above purpose, the body is made of an appropriate material (for example, wood, light alloy, reinforced plastic, etc.), and the lower handle 1 and the upper handle 2 are spaced at appropriate intervals as shown in FIG. On the side opposite to the handle portion, the connecting plate 3 is pivotally attached to the top and bottom and back and forth by bolts 8 and nuts 10 via front and back washers 7 and 9.

The elastic bodies 4, 6 are fixed to the inner side surfaces 1 ', 2'of the upper and lower handles 1, 2 by appropriate means. Further, the outer surfaces 1 "and 2" of the handles are formed as flat surfaces.

Therefore, the elastic protrusions provided on the inner surfaces of these handles have a larger surface area than that of the elastic body for attaching one of them (the one attached to the lower handle 1 in FIG. 1) to the other, for example, a spherical shape, The elastic body 6 attached to the one opposite to this, that is, the inner surface 2'of the upper handle 2 is a projection with a narrowed tip, and the distance between both elastic bodies 4, 4 when the ends of the handle are aligned. It is fixed to the position where 6 is slightly in contact with an appropriate means such as an adhesive.

It should be noted that the positions of the elastic bodies 4 and 6 can be moved back and forth along the inner side surfaces 1 ′ and 2 ′ of the handles 1 and 2 according to the difference in the physique of the practitioner. If this is done, the scope of the present invention is the utility model registration claim 2, and as shown in FIGS. 6 to 7, the elastic bodies 4 attached to the inner side surfaces 1 ′ and 2 ′ of the upper and lower handles 1 and 2, respectively. While mounting the columns 12 and 12 on the 6 and engraving fine grooves 11 and 11 of an appropriate length on the surfaces 1 ″ and 2 ″ of the handles 1 and 2, nuts 13 and 13 are attached to the grooves to attach the elastic bodies. Nos. 4 and 6 are designed so that they can be fixed in proper positions in the front and rear, according to the part (pot) of the hand and foot that the practitioner intends to perform.
