When the motor 15 rotates in the reverse direction and the rotary shaft 16 rotates in the other direction, the transmission belt 12 moves while being unwound from the second take-up roller 18 and taken up by the first take-up roller 17. The body 7 is moved in the direction opposite to the arrow A. By such reciprocal movement of the moving body 7, the massage roller 11 moves while rotating against the body via the inner body 26 and the outer body 27, so that the massage roller 11 receives a massage.

On the other hand, when the air bag side operating section 70 is operated,
Relays 63 to 65 are turned on. As a result, the motors 62, 39 and the heaters 40, 41 are energized, the compressor 32 is activated, and the turntable 38 of the rotary flight 33 rotates. Due to the rotation of the turntable 38, the air bag 21 connected to the discharge port 32a and the suction port 32b of the compressor 32 sequentially moves.

For example, when the second air bag 21 indicated by E2 in FIG. 2 is connected to the discharge port 32a, E1
The first air bag 21 indicated by is connected to the suction port, and hereinafter, the air bag 21 connected to the discharge port 32a is E3.
, E4, E5 ... And the air bag 21 connected to the suction port moves in the order shown by E2, E3, E4.
When the eighth air bag 21 is connected to the discharge port 32a and the suction port, the first air bag 2 shown by E1 is next.
1 is connected to the discharge port 32a and the suction port. Therefore, the air compressed by the compressor 32 is 8
It is supplied to the air bag 21 which is a set one by one, and at the same time,
The air supplied to the air bag 21 is also sequentially compressed by the compressor 3
2, the air bag 21 is inflated in sequence.
Repeat the contraction and massage the body.

At this time, when compressed air is supplied to the air bag 21, the acupressure part 23 of the air bag 21 is projected in a hemispherical shape so as to be convex upward, and is again depressed in a hemispherical shape by air suction. Therefore, the body pressure can be locally applied by the acupressure part 23, and a so-called acupressure effect can be obtained. At this time, since the acupressure part 23 bulges upward by the compressed air so as to be convex upward, the person who receives the massage receives a soft feeling and is unlikely to feel localized pain. The air compressed by the compressor 32 is heated by the heaters 40 and 41 and supplied to the air bag 21. Then, the body is warmed by the heated air supplied to the air bag 21. The temperature of the air supplied to the air bag 21 is detected by the temperature sensors 42 and 43,
Based on this detection result, the control device 66 causes the heaters 40, 4 to
It is configured to control the disconnection of 1 to maintain the air temperature at about 42 ° C.

By the way, depending on the person or the physical condition, the massage roller 1 may be applied to the back, waist or neck.
When massaged by No. 1, the massage roller 11 is relatively hard and may feel stiff and painful. In such a case, for example, the foot is massaged by the massage roller 11 and the air bag 21 is massaged from the waist to the neck.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the main frame 4 of the main body 25 has a frame structure composed of the pair of rail members 1, the pillow base 2 and the base member 3 arranged on both sides in the longitudinal direction thereof. In comparison with the conventional structure in which a rail member, a pillow base, a driving device, etc. are mounted on a heavy, thick plate-shaped base, the overall weight is lighter and it is convenient to carry.

In addition to the massage roller 11, the air bag 2
Since the massage can be performed by No. 1 as well, the massage roller 11 can be massaged by the air bag 21 for a body part that feels painful. Since the air bag 21 is inflated by compressed air and contracted by air suction, the air bag 21 has a soft feeling and does not feel pain, and can be comfortably massaged.

Moreover, since the air bag 21 is provided with the acupressure portion 23 to locally press the body, the acupressure effect can be obtained together. Since the acupressure portion 23 is in a depressed state except when compressed air is supplied, even if the body is laid on the hollow mat 22, the acupressure portion 23 does not cause a feeling of strangeness.

Moreover, since the compressed air supplied to the air bag 21 is heated by the heaters 40 and 41, the body is warmed by the heated air to promote blood circulation,
It is possible to obtain a better massage effect.

FIG. 13 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The difference from the first embodiment is that each air bag 21 of the hollow mat 22 has an air vent hole 71. In this case, the air vent hole 71 is formed by inserting a substantially C-shaped cut 71a in the air bag 21, and the portion surrounded by the cut 71a is configured as a valve 72. When compressed air is supplied into the air bag 21,
The valve 72 is elastically deformed from the closed state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 13A as shown by the solid line to open the air vent hole 71.

Therefore, by providing the air vent hole 71, it is possible to prevent the air pressure inside the air bag 21 from becoming abnormally high, and when the air bag 21 is connected to the suction port of the compressor 32, the air bag 21 is not connected. Since the air inside is sucked into the compressor 32 and also escapes from the air vent hole 71, the air bag 21 can be quickly contracted.

The air vent hole 71 may be provided in the upper surface portion of the air bag 21 or in the side surface portion thereof. When the air vent hole 71 is provided in the upper surface portion of the air bag 21, the body can be directly warmed by the warm air flowing out from the air vent hole 71. Further, if the warm air directly hits the body, it may be uncomfortable depending on the physical condition. However, by providing the air vent hole 71 on the side surface portion of the air bag 21, the wind that escapes from the air vent hole 71 directly contacts the body. You can prevent it from hitting.

14 and 15 show the third embodiment of the present invention. The difference from the first embodiment lies in the structure of the acupressure part. That is, the acupressure part 73 is formed in a bag shape, and a spring 74 formed in a spiral shape by a shape memory member, for example, a shape memory alloy is provided inside the acupressure part 73. At room temperature, the spring 74 is recessed in a spherical concave surface as shown on the left side of FIG. 14, and when hot air is supplied into the air bag 21, the spring 74 is heated by the hot air and is heated. To the right, and as shown in FIG. 15, the center is convex. Due to the deformation of the spring 74, the acupressure part 73 protrudes in a hemispherical shape as a whole, and when the air escapes from the air bag 21, the spring 74 cools and returns to the original concave shape of the spherical concave surface.

Since the spring 74 made of a shape memory alloy is provided in the acupressure part 73 as described above, when warm air is supplied into the air bag 21, the acupressure part 73 is surely deformed to project, so that a good acupressure effect is obtained. Can be obtained. The shape of the spring 74 at room temperature is not limited to the spherical concave surface, but may be a flat surface as shown in FIG.

FIG. 17 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The difference from the first embodiment is that the hollow mat 75 having a plurality of air bags 21 corresponds to the upper body (from waist to neck). The flexible mat 77 provided with the heater 76 is provided at the portion corresponding to the foot). Even in this case, since the body part that feels painful in the massage roller 11 is usually the upper half of the body, it is possible to obtain the same effect as that of the first embodiment.

FIG. 18 shows a fifth embodiment of the present invention in which a flexible mat 78 is arranged between both rail members 1 and a hollow mat having a plurality of air bags 21 on the mat 78. 79 to 81 are arranged at three places corresponding to the neck, back and waist. Even in this case, the same effect as the first embodiment can be obtained.

FIG. 19 shows a sixth embodiment of the present invention. The difference from the first embodiment is that a plurality of air bags 21 divide the insides of the hollow mats 22, 75, 79 to 81 by diaphragms. Air bag 82 instead of being formed by
Is formed by connecting a plurality of connecting films 83.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, and the following modifications or expansions are possible. The acupressure part is not limited to the one that protrudes by the supply of compressed air, but may be a hemispherical mass-shaped part that projects on the upper surface of the air bag 21. The pressure of the compressed air discharged from the compressor 32 may be changed so that the rigidity of the air bag 21 when inflated can be changed. The spring 74 of the acupressure part 73 may be made of shape memory resin.

A switch for turning on and off the heaters 40 and 41 may be provided so that the air supplied to the air bag 21 is not heated in the summer, for example. Also, the heater 4
The heating temperature of air by 0, 41 may be adjusted.
