Description

Leg massager {LEGS MASSAGER}

The present invention relates to a leg massage device, and more particularly, to a leg massage device configured to perform a massage in a manner of applying vibration to the sole of the foot, rubbing or kneading the calf part.

In general, the massage device is used as a health aid for stimulating the meridians and muscles by tapping or kneading a certain part of the body to relax rigid skin and muscles, and promote blood circulation to relieve fatigue.

In particular, due to excessive work and stress caused by the development of the industrial society, most of the modern people have accumulated fatigue, and use a massage device as a means to find the vitality by relieving such fatigue.

In practice, the massage is known to exhibit its efficacy and effect by many people, the massage device has been proposed a variety of products that can provide ease of use while increasing the efficacy and effectiveness of the massage.

Such massage apparatuses are known in various types according to their shape, structure, and driving method. Massage apparatuses that are commonly used convert a rotary motion of a motor driven by power into a vibration motion, and convert the vibration motion into a massage head. It is divided into a vibration type massage device configured to continuously transmit to the body, and a compression type massage device configured to compress a certain portion of the body at a predetermined interval by converting the rotational motion of the motor into a kneading form.

In most cases, the vibrating massage device is made to be placed on the portion to be massaged while holding the massage device by hand, and the compression massage device is made to be used while the body is placed on the massage device.

The manual massage device performs the massage while the user changes the position by hand, the electric massage device is in most cases in close contact with the body massage device consisting of a bed or an armchair form, and then massage the entire area that is in close contact It is configured to receive.

Also, among the vibration type massage apparatuses, foot massage apparatuses are known which relieve foot fatigue by applying continuous vibrations or blows to the soles or repeatedly performing these vibrations or blows with a predetermined period.

Recently, massage apparatuses in which various types of massages can be performed simultaneously or selectively have been proposed while allowing a specific type of body, such as the back, shoulders, and neck, to be massaged appropriately.

However, the above-described conventional massage apparatus is manufactured to massage the upper body or the whole body mainly in the body part in most cases, and none of the devices configured to automatically massage the lower body part have been proposed.

Therefore, conventionally, various methods and tools for massaging the legs are used. As a representative example, a massage is performed by pressing the calf part using a bottle to move up and down, or pressing a chiropractor formed in a roller shape with an appropriate force. Massage the legs as a roll.

However, if the massage using the conventional leg massage tools, such as the pressure on the calf with a massage tool to rub, there is a problem that causes pain of the skin and muscles.

In addition, it is difficult and inconvenient to use the leg massage tools by the massage subjects themselves, and when the users themselves massage using these tools, the massage effect is weak and the inconvenience of having to continuously move the tools. Hassle

Therefore, the conventional leg massage has a disadvantage that can not be massaged by yourself because others have to massage to the massage subject using a massage tool.

The present invention is devised to solve the conventional problems as described above, the object of the present invention is to provide a leg massage device made to perform a massage of the method of rubbing or rubbing the calf portion and applying a vibration to the sole of the foot. It is.
