Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of stretching a hip and waist using a massage chair,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a method of stretching a waist and a pelvis using a massage chair, and a massage chair for the same. Specifically, a pair of right and left waist and pelvis airbags are provided, To a method for increasing the amount of the liquid.

Many people get massages to relieve the stiff body caused by stress, muscular bunching due to lack of exercise. However, massage masseurs can not receive massages for various reasons, so massage chairs which can be conveniently provided at home have been developed and used.

Massage chairs have a variety of mechanical devices to provide a sense of massage to the user, but there is no massage chair effective for stretching the waist and pelvis.

Korean Patent No. 10-1317344 provides a waist and pelvic pressing device using an air bag, though it is not used in a massage chair. The airbag can be used to stretch and loosen the waist and pelvis. However, since the body is strongly pressed, the amount of air to be inflated is not large, and the user's control is also difficult, the effect of stretching is extremely weak.

Korean Patent No. 10-1485299 provides a massage feeling using an assembly moving from the waist to the pelvis, but there is no separate stretching effect because the assembly simply passes through the back portion.

Korean Patent No. 10-1404947 discloses a technique in which an air bag is used to apply pressure to the body, but it does not help the lateral movement of the waist and the pelvis especially since it is merely a movement, and thus the effect of stretching is small.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

A massage chair will be described with reference to Figs. 1 and 2. Fig.

The massage chair for performing the method according to the present invention may be any conventional massage chair, but a pelvic air bag, a waist air bag and a warm ball assembly, which will be described later, are required.

The massage chair includes a backrest 10 on which a user can lean his back, a seat 20 on which the user's hips and thighs touch, a pair of left and right armrests 30 with a seat for placing the arms, And a footrest portion 40 that is a portion where the foot and the calf of the footrest come in contact with each other.

The massage chair preferably includes waist air bags 110 and 120, pelvis air bags 210 and 220, and a warm ball assembly 300, which are mounted inside the massage chair so as not to be seen by the user's eyes (see FIG. 1) ).

A warm ball assembly 300 is provided at the center of the backrest 10. The warm ball assembly 300 may provide massaging to the back muscles around the vertebra by performing up-and-down or left-right exercises or combined exercises. In addition, power may be supplied in association with the control unit 50 to be described later to provide the user with a sense of warmth.

Also, a pair of waist air bags 110 and 120 located at the left and right lower ends of the backrest 10 are positioned. When air is injected into the waist air bags 110 and 120 by the separate air pump 100, the user presses the waist portion of the user's lower back.

The back airbags 110 and 120 are positioned at the lower end of the backrest 10 at a height and slightly spaced apart from the lowermost end of the backrest 10 so that the back airbag 110 and the backrest airbag 110, It will be located slightly inward at the portion where it contacts.

Since the present invention relates to a method of operating the waist air bags 110 and 120, the method according to the present invention is applicable irrespective of the specific position of the waist air bags 110 and 120, It will be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments thereof except as defined in the appended claims.

On the other hand, a pair of pelvis airbags 210 and 220 are respectively positioned on the inner lower ends of the left and right armrest portions 30. When air is injected into the pelvis air bags 210 and 220 by the separate air pump 100, the user's pelvis is gripped from the left and right. For the same reason, the specific positions of the pelvic airbags 210 and 220 are not limited.

A separate operating portion 60 is located on the outside of the massage chair (see FIG. 2) and is preferably located on the front of the right armrest portion 30 for convenient user operation. Various controls of the control unit 50 are possible by the operation unit 60. Hereinafter, operation of the steps (for example, first stage, second stage, etc.) through the amount of the stretching mode and the pressurizing air will be described.

An air pump 100 for injecting air into the waist air bags 110 and 120 and the pelvis air bags 210 and 220 is mounted inside the massage chair (see FIG. 2). The air pump 100 is controllable by the control unit 50. [

The amount of air injected into the waist air bags 110 and 120 and the pelvis air bags 210 and 220 by the air pump 100 is adjusted by the air for air massage for air massage and the air for pressurization .

The air massage is intended to convey a massage feeling to the user, and a small amount of air massage air suffices. In other words, the position of the waist and pelvis is checked and the user is provided with a low pressure so as to feel a light massage feeling.

Compressed air is larger than air massaging air and supplied at high pressure. In other words, the waist and pelvis are pressed to stretch.

Further, the pressurizing air can be changed into multiple stages. This allows the user to directly control the degree of stretching by the air for compression.

Next, a method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

When the user wishes to stretch the waist and pelvis by operating the massage chair, a start signal is applied to the control unit 50 by operating the operation unit 60 (S10).

The massage chair starts reclining first (S20).

Here, the meaning of "reclining" means the initial operation of the massage chair, which means that the user can sit back on the backrest 10 while the entire massage chair is backwardly bent.

In addition, air recirculation is performed simultaneously with recline.

To this end, the control unit 50 allows the preset air for air massage to be injected into both the left and right pelvis air bags 210 and 220 and the left and right pair of waist air bags 110 and 120 through the air pump 100 .

The user can feel that the massage chair is reclined and the air massage is performed so that the operation of the massage chair for the stretching starts. At the same time, the massage feeling can be felt while holding the pelvis and the lower waist.

Next, the control unit 50 controls the air pump 100 to supply the air for pressure preset to at least one selected from the pair of left and right pelvis air bags 210, 220 and the left and right pair of waist air bags 110, Inject.

Specifically, the pushing air is further injected into any of the pelvis airbags of the left and right pelvis airbags and the waist airbag located diagonally to either of the pelvis airbags (S30).

For example, pressurized air is injected into the right pelvis airbag 210 and the left waist airbag 120, or air for pressurization is injected into the left pelvis airbag 220 and the right waistbag 110.

Next, as the injected pressurizing air is released, the pressurizing air is injected into the other airbags (S40).

For example, if the pressurizing air is injected into the right pelvis airbag 210 and the left waistbag 120, the pressurizing air is released, and the pressurized air is supplied to the left pelvis airbag 220 and the right waistbag 110 Will be injected, and vice versa.

Next, the injected pressurizing air is released again (S50), and the above steps are repeated (S60). By this repetitive motion, the waist of the user is continuously moved to the left and right, so that the massage feeling such as moving the waist to the left and right as well as the stretching of the waist and the pelvis are forced.

In another embodiment of the present invention, a massage feeling can be given to the muscles of the back muscles while giving a feeling of warmth at the same time as stretching.

That is, when the user further operates the operation unit 60 to select the thermal mode, the controller 50 supplies electric power to the thermal ball assembly 300. In this case, the warm ball of the warm ball assembly is heated, and at the same time, the warm ball assembly 300 itself performs up-down movement, left-right movement, or combination thereof.

In this case, for safety, when the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor built in the warm ball assembly 300 is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, preferably about 60 degrees Celsius, the controller 50 controls the warm ball assembly 300 It is desirable to automatically shut off the power supplied.

In addition, it is more preferable that the warm ball assembly 300 is provided with a bimetal so that it is blown off at a temperature higher than the predetermined temperature, for example, 95 degrees Celsius.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the user can adjust the degree of stretching step by step.

That is, when the user adjusts the step to a multistage through the operation unit 60, the control unit 50 controls the air pressure to be applied to the pelvis air bags 210 and 220 and the waist air bags 110 and 120 through the air pump 100 The amount of the fuel is adjusted in multiple stages.

Returning to the basic embodiment of the present invention, when the end signal is automatically applied to the control unit 50 manually or a predetermined number of times by the operation unit 60, the reclining of the massage chair is released and the operation is ended S70).

In this case, it is preferable that the air massage performed when the start signal is applied is performed again. To naturally inform the user that the muscles are relaxed and terminated after the forced stretching by the pelvis air bags 210, 220 and the waist air bags 110, 120.

Therefore, when the end signal is applied, both the pelvis air bags 210 and 220 and the waist air bags 110 and 120 simultaneously release air (i.e., air for pressurization and air for air marshalling) Massage air is injected.

While the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims.
