Description

Leg massage {omitted}

The present invention relates to a leg massager, and more particularly to a leg massager that can minimize the noise during use and to obtain a quick fatigue effect by performing the massage function by acupressure ball.

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 lead to a decrease in work efficiency and safety accidents.

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

The massage device is a portable type that performs local vibration in a portable state in order to massage the leg muscles such as the calf (or thigh). I'm using a massager.

However, in the leg massage using a conventional hand massage massage the calf (or thigh) muscles artificially can not expect the fatigue recovery effect as the massage is performed in the muscle tension.

On the other hand, the leg massager that can perform massage by vibration while relaxing the calf (or thigh) muscle in recent years, for the substructure that supports the support as in Korea Utility Model Application No. 2003-0003339 The upper structure is coupled to the buffer structure, the upper structure is formed in a triangular shape in the longitudinal direction and the fitting plate is formed on the surface to fit the thighs and calves, and also composed of a combination of the vibration device, the calf ( Leg massage has been proposed to put the thigh) into the plate and massage.

However, the above-described application of the invention is configured so that the user's body is in contact with the vibrating device with the insertion plate therebetween, there is a problem that the insertion plate rather offset the vibration action on the vibration device.

In order to solve this problem, increasing the strength of the vibrating device can improve the massage efficiency, but the vibrating device generates severe noise, which causes another problem of inconvenience in use.

In addition, the design of the first application is designed to be able to massage only when the leg is bent, so that the user's posture is restricted when massaging, and the muscle massage of the calf (or thigh) is excluded while the foot massage function is part of the leg. There are usage restrictions that can only be used for the purpose.

Accordingly, the present invention was devised to solve the general problems of the prior application,

It is an object of the present invention to provide a leg massager that can minimize the noise during use as well as to obtain a quick fatigue effect by performing the massage function by acupressure ball.

In addition, the thigh and calf muscles, as well as the acupressure function of the sole to expand the range of use, providing a one-leg massager for the user to use conveniently.

Another alternative is to provide a leg massager that is provided with an angle adjusting means and can be used at various angles.
