Description

Leg massager {LEG MASSAGE DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a leg massager, and more particularly, the user can perform a leg massage in a comfortable lying state, the massage form to press the leg, as well as rubbing or tapping to help the circulation of the blood while the massage form to release fatigue The leg massager can be configured in parallel to realize the effect of the massage perfectly.

If you walk or exercise excessively for a long time in your daily life, it will strain your muscles and make you feel tired easily. Accumulation of such fatigue can harm one's own health from an individual's point of view, and from a social point of view, it can be a cause of deterioration of work efficiency and safety accidents.

Accordingly, when fatigue is accumulated, it is preferable to release fatigue through light massage, steaming, or a warm bath, and the like as a representative example of various kinds of massage devices as a health aid for relaxing muscles by massaging the body.

Such massage is mainly composed of the structure of the upper body massage in the human body such as mat type, chiropractic, etc. In order to massage the leg muscles such as the calf, a portable massager that performs local vibration in the portable state is used. have.

However, the leg massage through the existing hand massage massages the calf muscles artificially can not expect fatigue recovery effect as the massage is performed in the muscle tension.

On the other hand, in recent years leg massage that can perform massage by vibration in the state of relaxing the calf muscle is disclosed in the Republic of Korea Utility Model Registration No. 312994. That is, the prior art is coupled to the upper structure is a buffer structure for the lower structure that acts as a support, the upper structure is made of a triangular shape in the longitudinal direction and the fitting plate is formed to fit the thigh and calf on the surface Composed of a configuration in which the vibration device is configured to fit the calf (or thigh) to the insertion plate in the state where the legs are bent and massage.

However, the conventional technology is configured so that the user's body is in contact with the vibrating device with the fitting plate therebetween, such a fitting plate has a problem that rather offset the vibration action on the vibrating device. In order to solve this problem, increasing the strength of the vibrator can improve the massage efficiency, but the vibrator generates a lot of noise, there was a problem inconvenient in use.

In addition, the conventional technology has a structure that can massage only when the leg is bent, and thus the user's posture is restricted, and it can be used only for the massage of the calf in a state in which the foot massage function is part of the leg. There are some restrictions on use.

An object of the present invention is to perform a massage massage in a user lying down comfortably, and to support the circulation of blood by rubbing or tapping the massage form to press the leg, while also being able to perform a massage form to relax the fatigue of massage The goal is to provide a leg massager that will fully realize the effect.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide a leg massager configured to perform a prostate massage function and a sitz bath function.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide a leg massager configured to perform stretching and exercise of the legs, waist and abs.

Leg massager for achieving the above object is the upper body formed with a pair of upper receiving grooves are accommodated in the upper end of the upper end of the leg, the lower body formed with a pair of lower receiving grooves are accommodated in the upper end of the lower leg, and the upper An upper outer shell surrounding the outer surface of the body, a lower outer shell surrounding the outer surface of the lower body, a hinge portion connecting the one end of the upper outer shell and the lower outer shell to rotatably couple the upper body to the lower body, and the upper outer shell And a cover consisting of a coupling means for selectively engaging or separating the other end of the lower sheath, and installed in the upper accommodating groove to alternately apply pressure and relaxation of the upper part of the leg by an operation of injecting and discharging air into the air pocket. Press massage means for performing a press massage while being installed in the lower accommodating groove and acupressure eccentrically in the center of rotation of the rotating body The combination while rubbing the lower part of the leg by the rotation of the ball pressure, including means for performing a rubbing massage the massage is characterized in that configured.

Leg massage device according to the present invention can perform a foot massage in a user lying down comfortably, as well as a massage form that presses the leg to help the circulation of blood by rubbing or tapping, while being configured to parallel massage form to release fatigue You can fully realize the effect of the massage.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, the leg massage device 100 according to the present invention can perform the foot massage while the user is lying down comfortably, as well as the massage form to press the leg, rubbing or tapping to help circulation and blood circulation Pulley is configured to be parallel to the massage form, and comprises an upper body 200, lower body 300, cover 400, pressing massage means 500 and rub massage means (500).

The upper body 200 has a pair of upper accommodating grooves 210 in which the upper end of the leg is accommodated. In other words, the upper body 200 is a portion surrounding the leg so as to perform a leg massage with the lower body 300 to be described later. On the other hand, the outer surface of the upper body 200 is configured with a button for operating the massage device 100 and an operation unit 220 formed with a display unit for displaying the operation state of the massager.

The lower body 300 has a pair of lower accommodating grooves 310 in which the lower end of the leg is accommodated. That is, the lower body 300 is a portion surrounding the leg so as to perform a leg massage with the upper body 200.

On the other hand, the male Velcro fastener 230 is coupled to the bottom of the upper body 200 between the upper receiving groove 210 and both sides, and between the lower receiving groove 310 on the upper surface of the lower body 300. The female Velcro fasteners 320 are coupled to both sides, and when the upper body 200 is coupled to the lower body 300, the male Velcro fasteners 230 are attached to the female Velcro fasteners 320, thereby providing the upper body 200. ) And the central portion of the lower body 200 is preferably configured to be firmly coupled.

The cover 400 surrounds the upper body 200 and the lower body 300 to form an overall frame of the massager, and connects the upper body 200 and the lower body 300 to each other so as to surround and support the legs. Alternatively, the upper body 200 and the lower body 300 is separated from each other is configured to separate the legs from the upper body 200 and the lower body 300.

More specifically, the cover 400 includes an upper outer shell 410 surrounding the outer surface of the upper body 200 and a lower outer shell 420 surrounding the outer surface of the lower body 300. Here, the upper shell 410 and the lower shell 420 is configured by sewing the end. Here, a part is provided with an opening and closing structure that can be inserted into the upper body 200 and the lower body 300 without sewing. The opening and closing structure may be composed of a zipper not shown or alternatively may be composed of a Velcro fastener called a squeak.

The cover 400 connects one end of the upper shell 410 and the lower shell 420 to a hinge 430 which rotatably couples the upper body 200 to the lower body 300. Coupling means 440 for selectively coupling or separating the other ends of the upper shell 410 and the lower shell 420 is further configured. Here, the coupling means 440 used a Velcro fastener to attach the upper sheath 410 to the lower sheath 420, but may be configured to be detachable using a tape, a button or a zipper.

The pressing massage means 500 is installed in the upper accommodating groove 210 to perform the pressing massage while alternately applying pressure and relaxation of the upper portion of the leg by an operation of injecting and discharging air into the air pocket 520. It is composed.

More specifically, the push massage means 500 is configured to include an upper support plate 510, air pocket 520, pneumatic injector and recovery 530, air hose 540 and the control unit 550.
