Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a body massager, and more particularly, to a body massager which can be reliably positioned in a rigid portion of a body and can be accurately and safely released.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A body massaging tool uses a shiatsu ball and presses it against a rigid portion of the body (a stiff portion) to be released. This is one that attaches a shiatsu ball to the base and presses the foot, one that lays on it and presses the back etc., one that is set in the seat in the car and presses the back, or one that holds it by hand and holds the body rigid. There are things such as pressing against a part to use.

[0003]

The above-mentioned conventional structure has the following problems. First, there was a problem that the acupressure effect cannot be sufficiently exerted. This is because it is difficult to apply the acupressure ball to the rigid part of the body accurately, and it is difficult to maintain the pressed state accurately.
In addition, there is a problem in that it is made for general purposes. In other words, something that is pressed against the foot or one that is set on the seat in the car and pressed against the back is relatively large so that it is suitable for use, so it is not suitable for holding it by hand and using it. On the contrary, since the one to be held by hand is formed to be relatively small, it can be used by pressing the foot as described above or setting it on the seat in the car and pressing the back. It is not legal.

Further, when the body massaging tool is placed on a flat surface and the body is strongly pressed against the acupressure ball, an excessive shock is exerted on the body, or when the body is held and pressed by the hand, a shock due to a recoil of the pressure is applied to the hand. There was also the problem of this. The present invention has been made on the basis of such a point, and its object is to have versatility such that it can be used by placing it on a flat surface and holding it by hand, and the acupressure ball can be used as a rigid body. It is intended to provide a body massage tool that can be reliably positioned in a portion and can be accurately and safely solved.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a body massager according to the present invention has a base that can be held by hand and can be placed on a plane, and is rotatably accommodated and held in the base. And an acupressure ball made of iron with its tip protruding from the upper surface of the base, a magnet housed and held in the base and placed in contact with the acupressure ball, and a rubber or sponge attached to the lower surface of the base. And a cushion material made of an elastic material such as.

[0006]

First, the base is formed so that it can be held by hand and can be placed on a plane, and can be held by hand or placed on a plane for use. In addition, the acupressure ball has its tip protruding from the upper surface of the base and is rotatably accommodated.
Since it is held, when the body is slid while being pressed against the rigid part of the body, the acupressure ball rotates to perform acupressure, so that a smooth and high massage effect can be exerted on the skin. Further, since the magnetic field lines act on the body by the action of the magnet disposed in contact with the acupressure ball, the effect of improving blood circulation can be exhibited.

Further, since at least the lower surface of the base is fitted with a cushion material made of an elastic material such as rubber or sponge, when it is used by placing it on a flat surface such as a floor or a tatami mat or when it is set on a seat of an automobile. You can prevent slipping when you use it by pressing your foot or back and use it while holding it by hand, you can massage it properly with confidence that it fits in your hand and is not slippery. Also, when it is used by placing it on a flat surface such as a floor or tatami mat, or when setting it on the seat of a car and pressing it against your feet or back, you can prevent slipping and hold it by hand before use. At this time, when the pressure is too strong, the cushioning material acts to reduce the shock caused by the reaction to the body. Further, even when it is held by hand and used, a shock due to a reaction of the pressure applied to the hand at the time of pressing can be softened.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the external appearance of a body massage tool. First, there is the base 1. The base 1 is composed of a cylindrical base portion 3 and a conical portion 5 integrated with the base portion 3. The acupressure ball 7 made of iron is placed on the upper end of the conical portion 5.
Are arranged so that their tips are projected from the upper surface of the base 1.
This object is rotatably accommodated and held in the base 1, and the rigid portion of the body is pressed against it.

Next, the internal structure of the body massager will be described with reference to FIG. The inside of the base 1 is hollowed out, a seat 9 is formed in the conical portion 5, and the acupressure ball 7 is loosely fitted therein and held rotatably. In addition, a magnet 11 is inserted into the lower surface of the acupressure ball 7 from below and abuts on it. The magnet 11 magnetizes the acupressure ball 7 made of iron, and the magnetic force lines act on the body through the acupressure ball 7. The magnet 11 is fixed by a mounting plate 13 inserted from below the base 1. The seat 9 may be formed in a spherical shape, and the acupressure ball 7 may be slid and held, or may be supported by a bearing or the like. As means for rotatably holding the acupressure ball 7, for example, the base 1 is formed of a flexible material such as plastic, and the acupressure ball 7 is press-fitted to the seat 9 so as not to come off. Alternatively, the upper end of the hollow part of the base 1 is squeezed to be smaller than the diameter of the acupressure ball 7 to insert the acupressure ball 7 from below the base 1, and insert the seat 9 from below to hold it so that it does not fall off. May be. A cushion material 15 made of an elastic material such as rubber or sponge is attached to the lower surface of the base 1.

The operation will be described based on the above configuration. First, referring to FIG. 3, a case where the body massage tool is held by hand and pressed against a rigid portion of the body to be used will be described. In this case, the cylindrical base portion 3 of the base 1 is held by hand, and the acupressure ball 7 is pressed against the rigid portion 17 of the body and slid.
As a result, since the acupressure ball 7 rotates, the acupressure is performed while smoothly sliding the skin and conforming to the body. Since the magnet 11 is attached to the lower surface of the acupressure ball 7, the magnet 11
Magnetizes the iron shiatsu ball 7, and the magnetic force lines act on the rigid portion 17 of the body via the shiatsu ball 7. At this time, the base 1
Since the cushion material 15 made of an elastic material such as rubber or sponge is attached to the lower surface of the, the shock due to the reaction of the pressing force applied to the hand at the time of pressing is softened.

FIG. 4 shows a case where the body massage tool is placed on a flat surface 19 such as a floor or a tatami mat and the feet are placed on the flat surface 19 to be unwound.
In this case, the foot is slid while the rigid portion 21 of the foot is pressed against the acupressure ball 7. At this time, the cushion material 1 made of an elastic material such as rubber or sponge is formed on the lower surface of the base 1.
Since 5 is attached, it exerts an anti-slip action, and even if it is small, the pressing position does not shift or fall. Further, since the cushion material 15 acts to soften the shock caused by the reaction to the foot when the foot is pressed too much, the cushion material 15 can be used without anxiety.

FIG. 5 shows a case where a body massaging tool is placed on a flat surface 23 such as a floor or tatami mat, the body is laid on the flat massaging tool, and the rigid portion 25 of the back or waist is released. Also in this case, the same action as described above is exhibited. Further, FIG. 6 shows a case where the vehicle is mounted on a seat 27 of an automobile for use. In this case, the body massager is set in the seat 27 according to the rigid parts of the body such as the shoulders, the back and the waist, and the rigid part 29 of the body is set in the shiatsu ball 7.
Press and slide your body. At this time, the cushion material 15 exerts an anti-slip action, and even if it is small, the pressing position does not shift or fall.

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. First, since the base 1 is formed in a shape that can be held by hand and can be placed on a flat surface, it has versatility such that it can be held and used by hand or used by being placed on a flat surface. Further, since the tip of the acupressure ball 7 is arranged so as to project from the upper surface of the base 1 and rotatably accommodated and held, when the body is slid while being pressed against the rigid portion of the body, the acupressure ball 7 rotates. However, since the finger pressure is applied, it is possible to effectively solve the rigid portion that is smooth on the skin, and the magnetic line of force acts on the body from the acupressure ball 7 by the action of the magnet 11 that is placed in contact with the acupressure ball 7 to circulate blood. Exert the effect of improving.

Further, since a cushion material 15 made of an elastic material such as rubber or sponge is attached to the lower surface of the base 1, it is set on a floor or a flat surface such as a tatami mat or used in a seat of an automobile. When you use it by pressing your foot or back, you can prevent slipping and you can massage accurately and safely. Further, since the cushion material 15 has a function of softening the shock caused by the reaction to the body when the rigid portion of the body is pressed too strongly against the acupressure ball 7, the cushion material 15 can be used without anxiety and can be held by hand. When used as well, it fits comfortably in the hand and does not slip easily, and it is possible to reduce the shock caused by the recoil of the pressing force applied to the hand.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the shape of the base 1 is not limited to a circular shape, but may be a square shape, and the shape of the portion having the acupressure balls 7 is arbitrary. Further, the cushion material 15 may be provided not only on the lower surface of the base 1 but also on other portions, or may be partially provided on a part of the lower surface of the base 1. Further, the magnet 11 has only to be in contact with the acupressure ball 7, and the arrangement thereof is arbitrary.

[0016]

As described above in detail, according to the body massager of the present invention, since the base is formed in a shape that can be held by hand and can be placed on a flat surface, it can be held by hand, or
It has versatility such as being placed on a flat surface for use. In addition, the acupressure ball has its tip protruding from the upper surface of the base and is rotatably accommodated.
Since it is held, when the body is slid while being pressed against the rigid portion of the body, the finger pressure is applied while the acupressure ball rotates, so that the skin is smooth and the rigid portion can be effectively solved.

Further, due to the action of the magnet arranged in contact with the acupressure ball, the lines of magnetic force act on the body from the acupressure ball to exert an effect of improving blood circulation. In addition, since a cushioning material made of elastic material such as rubber or sponge is attached to the bottom surface of the base, when it is used by placing it on a flat surface such as a floor or tatami mat, or when it is set on the seat of a car, the feet and back are You can prevent slipping when using by pressing, and you can massage accurately and safely. Also, if the cushion material is pressed too hard, it acts to cushion the shock caused by recoil to the body, so it can be used with peace of mind, and even when it is held by hand, it fits comfortably in the hand. It is hard to slip, and it is possible to reduce the shock caused by the reaction of the pressure applied to the hand when pressing.
