Disclosure of the invention

[0003] As described above, the suction massager described in Patent Document 6 is a force that can be moved while suction if the suction force of the pump is appropriately controlled. For this purpose, the control of the suction force of the pump is extremely precise. Need to be done. In other words, in order to obtain an appropriate suction stimulus, a certain amount of pump suction force is required. However, if the suction force is too strong, it becomes difficult to move the instrument. On the other hand, if the suction force of the pump is weakened, the device can be moved but the suction stimulus is insufficient. Therefore, in order to enable movement of the instrument while maintaining an appropriate suction stimulus, an advanced control mechanism such as feedback control of suction force is required, which is difficult with a portable simple pump mechanism. Impossible.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention secures an appropriate suction stimulus by a relatively simple pump mechanism. The aim is to provide a massage device that can massage by moving instruments.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the suction massager according to the present invention has a suction port connected to a suction pump via a suction tube at the top and a margin that presses the skin all around the bottom. And a suction tool having a suction arch I space inside, and attached to the edge side of the suction arch I tool so as to be detachable and housed in the suction space, and smaller in height than the suction tool.

And an inner member having a ventilation hole on the top side and having a suction arch I space inside.

A “suction tool” is a member that can suck the skin using the suction force of the “suction pump”. One end of the suction tool is provided with a suction port which is an opening connected to the suction pump via, for example, a suction tube. This one end is referred to as the “top”. At the same time, the “bottom” corresponding to the opposite end is opened, and the “edge” is shaped to press the skin all around. For example, it is desirable that this suction tool is formed in a cup shape and the bottom shape is circular. Furthermore, it is sufficient for the suction pump to have a suction force that can create a negative pressure in the suction tool. Specifically, it is desirable to have a size that can be held with one hand. The material of the suction tool is not particularly limited as long as the molded product has rigidity to withstand negative pressure. For example, it can be formed from wood or metal, but considering the convenience of molding, relatively hard plastics such as ABS resin and polycarbonate resin are desirable.

[0006] The "inner one member" refers to a cup-shaped member that is attached so as to be in close contact with the inner periphery on the edge side of the suction tool. The material of the inner member is preferably softer than the material of the suction tool, such as polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate. These materials can be easily formed into a desired size by inflation molding or blow molding. In addition, the shape of the “vent” provided on the top side of the inner member can be various, such as a hole, a mesh, and a slit, depending on the application.

By mounting this inner member on the suction tool, the suction space, which is the space inside the suction tool, is divided into two by this inner member. That is, the skin is sucked into the suction space inside the inner member. And the suction tool and the inner member The space between them functions to maintain a negative pressure for sucking the skin inside the inner member. Therefore, even if the suction force of the suction pump is relatively weak, the negative pressure inside the inner member can be kept moderate by this space.

That is, in the conventional suction pressure reduction, precise control of the negative pressure control is necessary. However, in the present invention, by providing this inner member, it is possible to prevent the suction member from being externally supported to support the inner member. The space that can be used will serve as a decompression receiver. Therefore, there is no sudden pressure reduction effect on the skin as in the past. Also, in the past, in order to achieve an appropriate suction force without applying a sudden pressure reduction action, it was necessary to provide a pressure reduction receiver between the suction tool and the suction pump. No longer needed. Then, the pressure can be repeatedly reduced and released repeatedly with any force.

Since the volume of the skin sucked into the suction space inside the inner member is smaller than the capacity of the suction tool, the resistance to movement is smaller than when it is assumed that the skin is sucked into the entire suction tool. Tesumu. Therefore, even if the structure of the suction pump is a relatively simple one that sucks with a constant suction force, it can move while sliding on the skin while applying an appropriate suction stimulus to the skin.

[0008] For the inner member, a plurality of types with different internal volumes are prepared according to the hardness of the skin to which the suction tool is applied or the condition of the user's skin. You can also do it. Furthermore, various structures such as various protrusions can be provided inside the inner member according to the application site and the user's preference. As a result, a further massage effect is expected.

Further, it is desirable that the edge is folded outward for smooth movement of the suction tool. Further, if the edge of the edge is further turned toward the top, the movement becomes a sliding force. That is, when the suction tool sucks the skin by the folded portion, the edge does not strongly bite into the skin, so that the movement of the suction tool is not hindered by the biting into the skin.

[0009] If the gripper for gripping by hand is provided on the suction tool, the suction tool can be moved more easily. At this time, the position where the grip portion is provided is preferably the top of the suction tool. In addition, since the suction port is provided at the top of the suction tool, the suction port and the suction pump are connected. It is good also as a structure where the tube etc. to tie penetrate this grip part. Further, the drip portion may be formed separately from the suction tool and assembled, or may be formed integrally with the suction tool.

[0010] According to the present invention, an appropriate suction stimulus is secured by a relatively simple pump mechanism.

This makes it possible to provide a sucking bow I massager that can be massaged by moving instruments.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of a main part of a suction massager 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The suction massage device 10 according to the present embodiment also includes a grip portion 20, a suction tool 30, an inner member 40, and a force. The cup portion is connected to a suction pump 70 via a suction tube 75 penetrating the grip portion 20.

The grip portion 20 is formed into a shape that can be easily gripped with one hand. At the lower end portion, an insertion port 21 to which a suction tool 30 is connected is provided. A suction tube 75 passes through the grip 20, one end of which protrudes slightly from the insertion port 21, and the other end connected to the suction pump 70.

[0013] The suction tool 30 is formed in a cup shape. At the top of it, to the insertion port 21 of the grip part 20 An insertion part 33 formed so as to be fitted is formed. A suction port 31 is provided in the center of the insertion portion 33 at a position corresponding to the suction tube 75.

On the other hand, the bottom part of the suction tool 30 is opened, and the folded part of the entire periphery of the edge 32 presses the skin. The edge 32 is folded outward so that its end faces upward.

The inner member 40 has a substantially dome shape as shown in FIG. 2, and the edge of the inner member 40 is folded back into a shape that matches the folded portion of the suction tool 30. When this edge partial force inner member is attached, it is formed as a contact edge 41 that is in close contact with the folded portion of the suction tool 30. A plurality of circular vents 42 are provided near the top of the inner member 40.

[0014] The suction pump 70 is formed in a shape, size and weight that can be easily held with one hand. The suction pump 70 is also provided with an exhaust port 73 for discharging air sucked from the intake port 72. Further, the suction pump 70 is also provided with a power switch 71 for operating the suction operation.

In the suction massager 10 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the grip part 20, the suction tool 30, and the inner member 40 are formed separately. In use, when the insertion portion 33 of the suction tool 30 is fitted into the insertion port 21 of the grip portion 20, the suction tube 75 protruding from the insertion port 21 is fitted into the suction port 31. Furthermore, if the inner member 40 is fitted into the bottom of the suction tool 30, the suction massager 10 can be used.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the edge 32 of the suction arch I tool 30 is held in the abdomen in a state where the grip part 20 is held by one hand 80 and the suction pump 70 is held by the other hand. When the power switch 71 of the sucking bow I pump 70 is operated, the sucking bow I operation of the sucking bow I pump 70 is started. Then, the pressure inside the suction tool 30 becomes negative pressure, and further, the air inside the inner member 40 is sucked through the vent 42 and the inside of the inner member 40 becomes negative pressure, so the skin 90 is mounted inside the suction tool 30. The inner member 40 is sucked so as to rise inside.

At this time, since the space between the suction tool 30 and the inner member 40 holds the negative pressure of suction, the inner volume of the inner member 40 is maintained even if the suction force of the suction pump I pump 70 is constant. The skin 90 can be sucked with an appropriate suction force according to the condition. At the same time, the movement of the suction device 30 on the skin 90 is less than that when the skin 90 is sucked into the suction device 30 without using the inner member 40. It has become easy.

[0016] In this state, if the grip part 20 is operated with the hand 80 to move the suction tool 30 so as to slide on the skin 90, a stimulating effect is also obtained by moving the suction tool 30 while sucking the skin 90. It will be. Further, since the edge 32 of the suction tool 30 is folded back with a certain width as described above, the suction tool 30 can be moved smoothly without biting into the skin. Further, as the inner member 40 to be attached to the suction tool, it is also possible to use a short member as shown in FIG. Of course, it is possible to use a member having a height higher than that of the inner member 40 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 (not shown). In this way, by preparing inner members 40 of various sizes, the suction tool 30 can be placed on the skin with an appropriate suction force according to the hardness of the skin to be sucked or the condition of the user's skin. It is easy to move.

[0017] The vent 42 provided at the top of the inner member 40 may be mesh-shaped as shown in FIG. 5 (A) or may be slit-shaped as shown in FIG. 5 (B). As described above, depending on the shape of the vent 42, there is an appropriate arch I force depending on the user's preference, etc., depending on the skin site.

As shown in FIG. 6, if a protrusion 43 is provided on the inner surface of the inner member 40, a further stimulating effect can be expected on the surface of the skin 90 during the suction movement.

Industrial applicability

[0018] The present invention can be used as a massager for the purpose of applying suction stimulation to the skin.
