Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the field of massage technology, in which a part of the sole of the foot called a "reflection area" is intensively pressed by using the rotation or rolling of a sphere. At the same time, the main purpose is to apply various pressing actions such as rubbing from the other direction and pressing from the surrounding area to give a friction action, sufficiently dislodge the body part, and improve blood circulation. , Put on your feet,
The present invention also relates to a massage device that can be applied to a whole body massage.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Stimulating the soles of the feet to improve blood circulation, recovering from fatigue, and preventing disease have been conventionally performed.
For example, it is called "bamboo stepping".
This is a traditional method of resting on the floor or the like by hitting the arched part of the sole against the rounded part of the outer circumference, giving stimulation and recovering from fatigue.

[0003] This is called the "reflection zone" on the sole of the human body, where there are concentrated sites of peripheral nerves corresponding to each organ or tissue, and each organ or tissue of the human body becomes tired or ill. When the state is reached, waste products and the like in blood are deposited on peripheral blood vessels of the “reflection zone” corresponding to the organ or the cell, and crystals are formed, and a congestion state is caused, and “lumps” are generated. At the same time, it presses the peripheral nerve area, which is the reflex area, and inhibits metabolism.

[0004] Therefore, the site where the "lumps" are generated is sufficiently rubbed and loosened from various directions to decompose crystals due to the waste products in the blood and to eliminate the lumps, thereby promoting metabolism. It is said that it can stimulate the organs and tissues of the human body corresponding to the above, and can recover from fatigue and relieve symptoms.

[0005] In addition, in order to massage the "reflection zone",
The `` reflection area '' itself is intensively hit, pressed, or rubbed, and at the same time, the `` reflection area '' is pressed to rub it from the surroundings, giving a frictional effect and sufficiently stimulating deep into the skin tissue You need to give.

[0006] Based on this theory, a wide variety of devices for massaging the soles, from those using traditional bamboo to electric massagers, have been developed and commercialized. . These can be broadly divided into two categories: motorized and non-motorized.

The former includes a vibration type, a roller type, a belt type, and the like, and the latter includes a rod-shaped or plate-shaped one integrally formed with a massage action portion abutting on the sole of the foot, or separately. A movable type in which a massage action portion abutting on the formed sole is pivotally supported, and also natural pebbles in facilities such as socks, slippers, insoles, and parks having protrusions that contact the sole of the foot. There is a “massage sidewalk” which is laid out so that the projections protrude from the surface.

Further, the applicant of the present invention intensively presses the so-called "reflection area" on the sole of the foot using the rotation of the sphere, and simultaneously presses the area from the other direction. A massager having a rotating sphere was created and a patent application was filed mainly for the purpose of rubbing and pressing to give a frictional effect and to sufficiently squeeze the part to improve blood circulation. Number: Japanese Patent Application No. 9-
97140).

[0009]

Incidentally, the above-mentioned electric type has a problem that the manufacturing cost is high and it is inconvenient to carry, and of course, because of the constant movement by the electric machine, the sole of the sole of the foot is not used. It can apply friction, vibration, or just hit the surface.

[0010] Further, since the abutment surface contacts the sole of the foot as a surface having a certain range, the massage action portion comes into contact with a portion other than the target "reflection section", and the target "reflection section" to be massaged and loosened. Not only can not provide a frictional action of pressing around and rubbing against the surroundings, but also cancel the pressing force, and eventually give the sole of the skin surface friction on the sole of the foot or give only stimulus It just ends up.

That is, it is not possible to obtain a sufficient massage effect on tissues and cells deep in the skin. At the same time, for each "reflection area" dispersed on the sole of the foot, it is not possible to arbitrarily select only that part and give a concentrated friction effect, especially the "reflection area" on the side of the foot, For concave parts such as arches, the legs must be tilted and applied to the massage machine or pressed with particular force, which not only feels inconvenience but also has a good effect I can't get it.

[0012] In the above-mentioned non-motorized type, in which the massage action portion that comes into contact with the sole of the foot is formed integrally with the main body, the massage action portion having a vertex at one end of a rod shape is used. However, simply pressing and stimulating only the “reflection section” not only causes the user to feel intense pain, but also the effect of stimulating the “reflection section” while sufficiently rubbing off the surrounding area. For this reason, the stimulus is merely applied, and the crystals of the peripheral blood vessels that press the peripheral nerves of the “reflex section” are completely decomposed, and the congested “lumps” cannot be eliminated.

[0013] In addition, a plurality of protrusions formed in a linear or circular shape on a rod-shaped edge portion to form a massage action portion has a surface in which the massage action portion has a certain range or a linear shape of the foot. The force applied to the target “reflection zone” that comes into contact with the back is not concentrated and dispersed, or the pressing force is canceled out, so that the target “reflection zone” can only be hit or rubbed.

As a result, it is impossible to exert a frictional action of pressing the surrounding area and rubbing it while giving concentrated force to the target "reflection area". Crystals of the peripheral blood vessels are completely decomposed, and congested "lumps" cannot be eliminated to obtain a good massage effect.

As for the non-motorized and movable type, the massage action portion is formed in a roller shape, and a massage device is turned while stepping on a roller, and a plurality of disk-shaped devices such as an abacus are rotatably pivoted. There is an apparatus in which a massage action portion is formed by supporting the body, and a foot is placed on the massage action section and pressed while moving in the front-rear direction to obtain a massage effect.

However, since the massage part contacts the sole of the foot in a planar or linear manner also in these, the massage action part also contacts the periphery of the target "reflection zone". The power to the ward itself is not concentrated but dispersed. Therefore, it is impossible to apply a concentrated force to the target "reflection area" while pressing the surroundings, and to rub and rub it. It does not completely decompose the crystals of the peripheral blood vessels and eliminate the congestive "lumps" to obtain a good massage effect.

Further, by contacting the sole of the foot with a surface having a certain range or a linear shape, it is not possible to arbitrarily select only the “reflection area” to be massaged,
When it is desired to massage a depressed portion such as the side of a foot or an arch, not only the inconvenience is felt but also a sufficient effect cannot be obtained.

In addition, these non-motorized types, such as socks, slippers, and insoles with protrusions, are almost incompatible with human body engineering, and when used for a long period of time, rather cause pain on the soles of the feet. You can no longer use it. In addition, as for the "walkway for massage" provided in facilities such as parks, it goes without saying that it is inconvenient to be provided in a specific place. If it falls, the user may be injured.

In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional massage device, the applicant of the present invention uses a freely rotating sphere as a massage action portion, and separates the sphere and a main body for accommodating the sphere. A massager having a rotating sphere as its main component was created and a patent application was filed (application number:
Japanese Patent Application No. 9-97140).

In the massager having a freely rotating sphere according to this prior art, the sphere serving as the massage portion abuts the "reflection zone" on the sole of the foot to give concentrated force, and at the same time, the massage action portion The sphere rotates freely and presses against the target `` reflection zone '' from the surroundings, presses so as to rub it, gives a frictional action and rubs it sufficiently,
An ideal massage effect can be obtained. In addition, by rotating the sphere, an arbitrary part of the sole of the foot can be easily selected and massaged, and there is an excellent effect such that pain such as pecking is not felt.

However, with regard to the method of supporting the sphere by the massager of the prior proposal, it is more convenient if more supporting methods are selected depending on the purpose of the massage. For example, when intensively massage only a certain part,
A sufficient massage effect can be obtained by the support method in which the sphere moves back and forth while rotating, but the ideal effect can be obtained even in the case of a support method in which the sphere rotates freely without moving back and forth. .

For a user who has difficulty moving his or her feet repeatedly due to illness or physical disability, the sphere is rotated slowly by applying an effect such as frictional resistance when the sphere is rotated. It is easy to use if you make it move or move it, and even a normal user can freely control the movement of the sphere and the rotation is convenient when the sole of the sole is slowly massaged over time It is.

Further, when the sphere is dirty or worn,
Alternatively, if the support shaft that supports the sphere is broken, a method that can easily remove the sphere is convenient. In addition, depending on the purpose of the massage or the habit of the user, a sphere with a projection formed on the sphere, a sphere with a concave hole, or a sphere with a smooth sphere is selected, and if it is a method that can be replaced at any time, It is convenient.

[0024]

In this case, the volume of the whole massage device is reduced, so that it is convenient without taking up a place for use. Further, the sphere 2 may be stored by mounting the pad 8 directly in the sphere storage groove 1h [FIG.
(B)).

[0055]

According to the massager of the present invention, the sphere 2 serving as a massage action portion has protrusions 2b, 2b,.
a, 2a,..., or a ridge line formed by them, or a flat surface, etc., can provide a sufficient massage effect to each part of the sole of the foot having a depression and a protruding portion, and also to the side surface of the foot. By freely rotating or rolling the sphere 2, not only a specific part is pressed but also a sufficient frictional effect can be given from the surrounding area.

Thus, crystals such as waste waste generated in peripheral blood vessels are decomposed, blood circulation is improved, metabolism is promoted, and compression of so-called “pots”, which are called “reflection areas” on the soles, is suppressed. By stimulating the organs and tissues corresponding to the “reflection zone” by releasing the above, effects such as recovery from fatigue, prevention of illness, and alleviation of symptoms of illness can be easily obtained.

In addition, according to the method in which the spherical body 2 can be easily taken in and out, not only the maintenance of the spherical body 2 becomes convenient, but also the projections 2b, 2b,... Sphere 2, concave hole 2a,
Sphere 2 having spherical surfaces 2a,...
