DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a perspective view of the back cover of the back of the massage chair to improve the stretching functionality provided by the present invention, the overall configuration of the present invention is a lifting plate (10) built-in mounted on both sides of the lifting massage roller (40) And a seat plate part 20 on which the user can sit, wherein the back plate part 10 and the seat plate part 20 are fixed and supported by the left and right support frames 11 of the massage chair.

As shown in the drawing, the support frame 11 which extends to both sides of the back plate part 10 to the seat plate part 20 is disposed, and between the support frame 11 forms an operating space part 10a, which is left and right in it. Massage rollers 40 made of a combination of pairs are installed to elevate and operate to provide a vibrating massage to the waist, back, shoulders.

Massage chair 1 provided in the present invention is characterized in that the upper body stretching portion 50 is provided on the back portion 10 for the upper body stretching effect.

The upper body stretching portion 50 is installed on the back of the back portion 10 of the massage chair (1) by installing a hand lever 51 that is operated by the driving force to the footrest portion 30 installed in the lower front of the massage chair forward The hand lever 51 is also accompanied by the upward operation when entering, as shown in Figure 4 to hold the hand lever 51 with both hands to provide a stretching exercise to relax the joints and muscles of the upper body when the hand lever 51 is elevated It was installed to

The drive part which raises and lowers the hand lever 51 is demonstrated. Referring to FIG. 2, the lifting pins 54, which are vertically slide-operated, are coupled to the storage unit 53 formed at the upper center of the mounting plate 55 fixed to the back of the back plate 10, and the lifting pins 54. The upper end of the) is configured to be connected to the hand lever 51.

In addition, a lower portion of the elevating pin 54 is provided with a screw 56 supported by a bearing 57 embedded in the pin housing 59 at the lower center of the mounting plate 55. ) Make sure to screw on the inner center. Accordingly, when the screw 56 rotates, the hand lever 51 moves up and down while the lifting pin 54 moves up or down in accordance with the rotation direction.

The lower side of the screw 56 for elevating the hand lever 51 is configured to connect with the electric cable shaft 58 as shown in Figure 3, which is a separate drive motor (M) installed inside the massage chair (1) Are interconnected to work. The electric cable shaft 58 is a flexible wire cable for transmitting the rotational driving force of the motor and is a general power transmission means.

In the drawing, a structure in which a screw rod 54a is formed on the lifting pin 54 and screwed to the hand lever 51 is used to finely adjust the lifting height H of the hand lever 51 according to the height of the user. Means.
