Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a beauty and health device capable of receiving a massage for removing excess fat from the body and recovering from fatigue.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various types of beauty and health devices have been developed for removing excess fat from the body. As one of them, for example, a beauty and health device using a massage belt shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-34741 is known.

In this beauty and health device, a pair of belt swing shafts are eccentrically connected to both ends of an intermediate shaft which is rotationally driven with a phase shift of 180 degrees, and a belt holder is freely rotatable on each belt swing shaft. It is provided in. The ends of the massaging belt are connected to the pair of belt holders.

In the above structure, when the belt swing shaft is eccentrically rotated by rotationally driving the intermediate shaft, the connecting ends of the massaging belt are alternately pushed and pulled to make a reciprocating swing motion. The rocking motion allows the user to receive massage on the body, for example, on the torso, so that excess fat can be digested and removed by blood.

However, when the user receives masturbation, for example, on the torso portion, the masturbation belt can apply the massing effect only to a part of the user's body around the waist.

That is, when the user wears the massage belt on the torso portion while facing the beauty and health device and receives the massage, the massage belt works effectively on the back and flank portions. The massaging effect by the massaging belt hardly reaches the abdomen on the front side.

Therefore, the user sometimes cannot receive the massage at the same time on the entire waist.
Moreover, if only a part of the waistline receives the massage,
There is a case that excess fat cannot be effectively removed because the fat of the portion receiving the massage escapes to the non-receiving portion.

In order to effectively remove excess fat around the waist, it is sufficient to allow the abdomen side to simultaneously receive the massage while receiving the massage on the back side by the massage belt. However, no beauty and health device has been developed that allows a plurality of massaging mechanisms to simultaneously receive massaging on the abdominal side and the back side.

When the user uses the beauty / health device, he / she sometimes wants not only to remove excess fat in the abdomen but also to receive a massage for recovering from fatigue such as getting rid of tired legs. However, a conventional beauty health device equipped with a massage belt for removing excess fat has been developed which has a structure capable of receiving a massage for fatigue recovery, such as a massage of a foot. Was not done.

As described above, when the beauty and health device is required to have various massage functions, a massage mechanism for that purpose may be provided respectively.
However, if the beauty and health device is simply provided with a plurality of massage mechanisms, each massage mechanism must be driven by different driving sources.
This requires a plurality of drive sources, which not only complicates the configuration, increases the weight and size of the device, but also increases the cost.

[0011]

As described above, the conventional beauty and health device is provided with a plurality of massage mechanisms, and the plurality of massage mechanisms can be driven by one drive source. Was not developed.

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to have a plurality of massaging mechanisms and selectively drive the plurality of massaging mechanisms by one driving source. It is to provide a beauty and health device that is capable of doing.

[0013]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a main body, a drive source disposed in the main body, and a plurality of rotatably mounted bodies having the centers of rotation aligned with each other. Drive shafts, a plurality of massaging mechanisms driven by the respective driving shafts, and a power transmission mechanism for selectively transmitting the driving force of the driving source to the respective massaging mechanisms. And

[0014]

According to the above construction, it is possible to select the massaging mechanism for transmitting the driving force of the driving source by the power transmission mechanism, so that a single driving source selectively drives a plurality of massaging mechanisms. be able to.

When the pair of output shafts 82 and 83 are rotated clockwise by pressing the first operation button 104, the first drive shaft 3, the second drive shaft 51 and the third drive shaft 63 are rotated. Can be made.

When the second operation button 105 is pressed to rotate the pair of output shafts 82, 83 counterclockwise, the rotation of the first output shaft 82 is interrupted by the one-way clutch 88. The drive shaft 3 is not rotated, and the second and third drive shafts 51 and 63 are rotationally driven. That is, it is possible to stop only the reciprocating swing motion of the massage belt 29.

Next, an explanation will be given of the usage form when receiving a massage using the beauty and health device having the above-mentioned configuration.
As shown in FIG. 10A, when the user U sits in a chair and receives a massage on the sole of the foot, the support leg 8 is attached to the main body 1.
Then, the legs are placed on the pair of roller units 53 of the main body 1 while being bent at a predetermined angle. Drive source 81 in that state
When is driven counterclockwise by the second operation button 105, the second drive shaft 51 and the third drive shaft 63 rotate, and the first drive shaft 3 rotates the one-way clutch 88 idle. Since it is not rotated, the roller unit 53 and the movable piece 67 are driven, and the slider 17 is not driven.

Therefore, the user U can receive the massage on the sole of the foot by the first and second roller bodies 58 and 59 of the roller unit 53. Further, since the movable piece 67 swings when the third drive shaft 63 rotates, if the foot is placed on the second protrusion 74 provided on the movable piece 67, the massager can also be moved. Can be received.

Although not shown, if the user U places the calf portion of the foot on the roller unit 53,
You can receive a massage in that part.

On the other hand, when it is desired to remove the fat around the waist, the user U sitting on the chair, as shown in FIG.
The first protrusion 73 is pressed against the back of the user, and the massage belt 29 is rotated to the abdomen on the front side of the user U. When the drive source 81 is operated in the clockwise direction by the first operation button 14 in this state, not only the second and third drive shafts 51 and 63 but also the first drive shaft 3 is rotationally driven by the one-way clutch 88. Therefore, the user U is massaged by the first protrusion 73 at the back side of the waist and the massager belt 29 at the front abdomen. The pair of first projections 73 alternately strike one end side and the other end side in the width direction of the spine of the user U to rock the body of the user U.

That is, the user U can receive a massage on the entire waist while being shaken.
As a result, the blood circulation of the entire waist is promoted and improved, so that the excess fat around the waist can be efficiently digested and removed by blood.

By pushing and hitting the back side of the user U with the first protrusion 73, the fat around the waist can be swayed from the inside while being massaged, and the fat on the abdomen can be massaged from the outside by the massager belt 29. -You can That is, since it is possible to give fat to the waist circumference from the inside and outside, it is possible to effectively digest and remove the excess fat.

In this way, one drive source 8 is provided in the main body 1.
Although only one is provided, by selecting the operating direction of the drive source 81 by the controller 102, any one of the three massaging mechanisms of the massaging belt 29, the roller unit 53 and the protrusion 73 is selected. Or two or three
One can be selectively activated by one drive source 81 as described above.

FIG. 10 (c) shows a case where the main body 1 is installed on a cushion body K such as a sofa or a mattress, and the user U lies on his back and receives a massage. It is possible to receive massage from both the back side and the front side.

The slider case 11 accommodating the slider 17 can be freely rotated with respect to the main body 1 together with the slider 17 and the first drive shaft 3. By rotating the slider case 11, it is possible to freely change the derivation direction of the massage belt 29 connected to the slider 17. As a result, the user U can change the position of the massage belt 29 to be worn on the body and use it in various forms. For example, the user U can sit on a chair and put his / her both legs on the roller unit 53 to hang the massage belt 29 on the waist.

Further, the slider 17 is a slider case 1.
Since the slider 17 that is housed in the housing 1 and is a movable part is not exposed to the outside, the safety and the appearance can be improved, and when the main body 1 is used on the cushion body K, the main body 1 is Even when the slider 17 sinks in the cushion body K, the smooth movement of the slider 17 is not impaired.

Moreover, since the slider 17 reciprocates linearly, the slider 17 is housed in the slider case 11 and the opening 11b is formed in the slider case 11 in the same direction as the moving direction of the slider 17. Thus, the slider 17 can be projected and retracted through the opening 11b. That is, since the slider 17 reciprocates linearly, the slider 17 can be housed in the slider case 11.

That is, if the massaging belt 29 is reciprocally rocked by eccentrically rotating the slider 17, the slider 17 will move circularly. The slider 17 which moves circularly is attached to the slider case 11.
When accommodated in the inside, the slider 17 is attached to the slider case 1.
It is difficult to store the slider case 11 in the slider case 11 because the direction in which it projects from 1 is not determined.

However, as described above, when the slider 17 is linearly reciprocated to drive the massage belt 29, the slider 17 is accommodated in the slider case 11 because the movement direction of the slider 17 is constant. However, it can be projected and retracted through the opening 11b.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, but can be variously modified. For example, the drive source may be one that is rotationally driven and has a single connecting shaft. In that case, first to third driven pulleys are respectively connected to the first to third drive shafts in a one-way clutch. If it is attached via the, the driven pulley and the two driven pulleys can be divided according to the rotation direction of the connecting shaft, and these can be selectively rotated.

In the case of a drive source having two operating shafts, if one of the operating shafts is provided with an electromagnetic clutch, the operating shafts can be selectively rotated. For example, in the above-described embodiment, if the second operating shaft 83 is provided with an electromagnetic clutch and only the first operating shaft 82 is rotated, the roller unit 53 is not rotated and the slider 1 is rotated.
7 and the movable piece 67 can be operated.

That is, the drive source may have one operating shaft, and the power transmission mechanism may be an electromagnetic clutch or a combination of an electromagnetic clutch and a one-way clutch.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the three massaging mechanisms are provided has been described, but two or four massaging mechanisms are provided.
The present invention can be applied to a configuration having one or more massage mechanism.

[0071]

As described above, according to the present invention, the driving force of the driving source can be selectively transmitted to the plurality of drive shafts respectively driving the plurality of massage mechanisms by the power transmission mechanism.

Therefore, the user can receive a desired massage by selecting the driven massage mechanism by the power transmission mechanism. Further, since a plurality of massaging mechanisms can be selectively driven by one drive source, the number of parts can be reduced, the configuration can be simplified, and the cost can be reduced as compared with the case where a plurality of drive sources are provided. be able to.
