That is, the second massage member 13 is intended to rotate in conjunction with the rotation shaft 18. However, since the restricting pin 41 provided on the rear side of the second annular fitting portion 15 of the second restricting portion 40 is slidably fitted in the restricting groove 42, the second annular fitting portion 15 and the inclined convex portion are formed. The associated rotation of the table portion 33 is limited.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the arm 9 of the first massaging member 5 moves downward, the second massaging member 13 swings outward in the left-right direction. At this time, the eccentric boss portion 26 is such that the distance between the cam surface 27 and the axis of the rotary shaft 18 is the longest. Further, the cam surface 34 of the inclined boss portion 33 is inclined outward in the left-right direction. In other words, in a state in which the first massage member 5 and the second massage member 13 are separated, the first treatment member 6 swings downward so as to be apart from the second treatment member 14 that swings outward in the left-right direction.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, when the arm 9 of the first massaging member 5 moves upward, the second massaging member 13 swings toward the inner side in the left-right direction. At this time, the eccentric boss portion 26 is such that the distance between the cam surface 27 and the axis of the rotary shaft 18 is the shortest. Further, the cam surface 34 of the inclined boss portion 33 is inclined toward the inner side in the left-right direction. In other words, in a state where the first massage member 5 and the second massage member 13 are closed, the first treatment member 6 swings upward so as to approach the second treatment member 14 that swings inward in the left-right direction. At this time, the first restricting portion 31 pivotally supported by the intermediate portion 8 of the first massaging member 5 is rotatably supported up and down along the slit 10, thereby preventing the first annular fitting portion 7 from being The eccentric boss portion 26 is rotated in conjunction therewith. Further, since the regulating pin 41 located on the rear side of the second annular fitting portion 15 slides in the left-right direction of the regulating groove 42, the second annular fitting portion 15 and the inclined boss portion 33 can be prevented from rotating together.

In short, the massage device 1 of the present embodiment does not perform a simple oscillating motion, but repeatedly performs an oscillating motion in which a more three-dimensional motion is added, that is, when the second massaging member 13 moves outward in the left-right direction, the first massaging member The arm 9 of the fifth massage member 5 moves toward the lower side, and when the second massage member 13 moves toward the inner side in the left-right direction, the arm 9 of the first massage member 5 moves toward the upper side, that is, the position that protrudes toward the front. Therefore, it is possible to apply a massage to the shoulder in accordance with the user's request.

That is, the number and arrangement position of the second treatment members 14 provided at the distal end of the second massage member 13 are different. Further, the proximal end portion of the second massage member 13 is disposed on the outer side in the width direction of the proximal end portion of the first massage member 5.

As shown in FIG. 10, in the second treatment member 14 of the massage mechanism 4 of the third embodiment, two second treatment members 14, 14 are provided at the distal end portion of the second massage member 13. Specifically, in the second massage department The front end of the piece 13 is provided with two support shaft bodies, that is, an upper side support shaft body extending upward and a lower side support shaft body extending downward. The interval between the upper support shaft bodies of the pair of right and left second massage members 13 is smaller than the interval between the lower support shaft bodies.

The second treatment member 14 is fitted into the upper side support shaft body and the lower side support shaft body, respectively, and is rotatable around the axis of each of the support shaft bodies. The width interval between the upper side support shaft body and the lower side support shaft body is as described above, and therefore, the interval between the pair of left and right second treatment members 14 (upper side) is smaller than between the second treatment member 14 (lower side) Interval. With this configuration, a total of four second treatment members 14 are disposed along the neck of the user, so that a very effective massage can be applied.

That is, two second treatment members 14, 14 are provided at the front end portion of the second massage member 13, one of the second treatment members 14 faces upward, the other second treatment member 14 faces downward, and one of the left and right sides The spacing between the second treatment members 14, 14 is less than the spacing between the other second treatment members 14, 14.

Further, the shape of the first treatment member 6 also has a semicircular shape having a thickness in the left-right direction. With this shape, the acupuncture points near the shoulder of the user (for example, around the shoulder blade) can be reliably pressed.

The operation of the first treatment member 6 and the operation of the second treatment member 14 are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment or the second embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted.
