Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a massager for massaging a user's knee area. [Prior Art] Conventionally, there has been proposed a massage chair having a massage function for massaging a user's knee area while the user is sitting (for example, Patent Document 1). FIG. 5 shows an external view of a conventional massage chair of the first type. As shown in Figs. 5 (a) and-5 (b), a pivot 16 provided at the front end of the seat portion 12 is used as a rotation axis to rotatably mount an uneven knee support portion 14 having a massage function. When the user receives a massage, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the knee support portion 14 is turned forward (horizontal direction), and the user's knee is placed in the recess of the knee support portion 14. On the other hand, when the user does not receive the massage, as shown in Fig. 5 (b), the lower knee support portion 14 turns downward. However, in order to allow the user to sit comfortably without receiving a massage, there are cases where some support is needed under the knee. In this case, although no massage is performed, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the knee support portion 14 ^ is in a state in front of the steering seat portion 12. Therefore, the user's own knee is placed in the recess of the lower knee support portion 14, but it is difficult to move freely under the knee, so there is a problem of strong restraint. For this reason, a massage chair is also proposed (for example, Patent Document 2) to relieve the restraint of the user. FIG. 6 shows an external view of a conventional massage chair of the second type. As shown in Figs. 6 (a) and 6 (b), a support arm 31 is rotatably attached with a pivot shaft 34 provided at the front end of the seat portion 22 as a rotation shaft. Furthermore, the leg portion 25 is rotatably attached to a pivot shaft 26 provided in the center of the arm extending from the rear 200524573, * side forward in the support arm 31 as a rotation shaft. The external view of the footrest of the conventional 2nd massage chair shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7 (a), one surface of the foot placing portion 25 is formed with a concave-convex shape, and the massage surface 24 is formed on the other surface of the foot placing portion 25 as shown in FIG. 7 (b). Foot surface 35. When the user receives the massage, the foot setting portion 25 is rotated with the massage surface 24 as the upper surface, and when the user is not receiving the massage, the foot setting portion 25 is rotated with the foot surface 35 as the upper surface. With this, when the user has not received the # massage, the foot support surface 35 supports the lower knee. [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-257084 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-62024 [Summary of Invention] (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the conventional massage shown in FIG. 6 In order to prevent the chair from interfering with the floor when the legrest 25 is rotated, the length of the legrest 25 in the front-rear direction is limited. For this reason, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the corner of the front end of the leg portion 25 ^ abuts on a part 41 of the lower part of the user's knee (eg, the belly), and the user may feel pain. . Therefore, there is a demand for a massage chair that can further improve the user's comfort. The present invention has been accomplished by focusing on the conventional problems, and its object is to provide a massager that can improve the user's comfort.
