Description
本発明は、マッサージユニットに関し、例えば履物底やベルト等、種々の物品に複数個取り付けて使用するマッサージユニットに関する。また、このマッサージユニットを備えた履物に関する。
The present invention relates to a massage unit, and more particularly to a massage unit that is used by being attached to a plurality of various articles such as a footwear bottom and a belt. Moreover, it is related with the footwear provided with this massage unit.
従来、マッサージ器具として、特許文献１には、靴底に突起を配した靴が開示されている。特許文献１の足裏指圧用靴１０は、靴底１２に形成された挿入穴１４に、これに嵌入する基部１６と上部突起１７とが一体の指圧体１８が取り付けられている（第１図参照）。
Conventionally, as a massage device, Patent Document 1 discloses a shoe having a protrusion on a shoe sole. In the sole for foot pressure shoe 10 of Patent Document 1, an acupressure body 18 in which a base portion 16 and an upper projection 17 are fitted into an insertion hole 14 formed in a shoe sole 12 is attached (FIG. 1). reference).
また、特許文献２には、靴底に突起状の磁石重りを取り付けた靴の図面が開示されている（第９図（ａ）参照）。特許文献２の第９図（ａ）には、上靴底８’に設けられた穴型重り台８０１に、磁石重り４０４が接着剤１２によって接着されている。
Patent Document 2 discloses a drawing of a shoe in which a protruding magnet weight is attached to the shoe sole (see FIG. 9 (a)). In FIG. 9A of Patent Document 2, a magnet weight 404 is bonded to the hole-type weight base 801 provided on the upper shoe sole 8 ′ by the adhesive 12.
また、特許文献３には、按摩突起を靴底に配した靴が開示されている。特許文献３に記載の按摩突起１０は、その内部にスプリング１２が配されていて、靴底に設けられた固定座１３に取り付けて使用するものである（第３図参照）。そして、使用者がこの靴を履くことで、スプリング１２の弾性により按摩突起１０が上下に動いて、使用者の足裏を按摩する。また、按摩突起１０の周縁には数個の嵌め込み座１１が設けられ、固定座１３の上端に突縁１４が設けられており、スプリング１２の弾性によっても、固定座１３から按摩突起１０が跳び出せないように構成されている。
Further, Patent Document 3 discloses a shoe in which a Satsuma protrusion is arranged on the shoe sole. The Satsuma protrusion 10 described in Patent Document 3 has a spring 12 disposed therein and is used by being attached to a fixed seat 13 provided on a shoe sole (see FIG. 3). When the user wears these shoes, the elastic projection 10 moves up and down due to the elasticity of the spring 12, and the sole of the user is massaged. In addition, several fitting seats 11 are provided on the periphery of the Satsuma projection 10, and a projecting edge 14 is provided at the upper end of the fixed seat 13, and the Satsuma projection 10 jumps from the fixed seat 13 due to the elasticity of the spring 12. It is configured so that it cannot be put out.
また、特許文献４には、靴底にマッサージ棒を設置した靴が開示されている。特許文献２の靴は、靴本体５０には複数の接合穴５１が設けられ、各接合穴５１にマッサージ棒５５が取り付けられている（第６図参照）。そして、マッサージ棒５５には、丸い突っ張り棒５６が設置され、この突っ張り棒５６がばねで支持されて伸縮可能に構成されている。
Patent Document 4 discloses a shoe in which a massage stick is installed on the shoe sole. In the shoe of Patent Document 2, a plurality of joint holes 51 are provided in the shoe body 50, and a massage rod 55 is attached to each joint hole 51 (see FIG. 6). The massage bar 55 is provided with a round tension bar 56, and the tension bar 56 is supported by a spring so as to be stretchable.
しかしながら、特許文献１の先行技術は、靴底に取り付けられた指圧体が基部と上部突起とが一体成形のもので伸縮しないため、足裏の形状に合わせることができず、また歩くときにかかる荷重が吸収されず、突起から足裏に強い力を受ける。したがって、これを長時間履いて使用すると、足裏が非常に痛くなる。
However, the prior art of Patent Document 1 cannot be adapted to the shape of the sole because the acupressure body attached to the shoe sole is integrally formed with the base and the upper protrusion, and cannot be adjusted to the shape of the sole. The load is not absorbed and a strong force is applied to the sole from the protrusion. Therefore, if this is worn for a long time, the sole becomes very painful.
また、特許文献２の先行技術は、靴底に取り付けられた磁石重りは、上記と同じく伸縮等しないため、足裏の形状に合わせることができず、また歩くときにかかる荷重は吸収されず、足裏に強い力を受けることとなる。また、磁石は強度が高くないため、このように剥き出しの状態で取り付けられていると、荷重がかかり磁石が割れるなど破損する可能性が高い。さらには、磁石が剥き出しの状態だと、様々な方向から荷重を受けることとなり磁石はより割れやすくなる。
In addition, the prior art of Patent Document 2 is that the magnet weight attached to the shoe sole does not expand and contract similarly to the above, so it cannot be matched to the shape of the sole, and the load applied when walking is not absorbed, It will receive a strong force on the soles. In addition, since the strength of the magnet is not high, there is a high possibility that the magnet is broken due to a load when it is attached in such a bare state. Furthermore, when the magnet is in an exposed state, it receives a load from various directions, and the magnet is more easily broken.
また、特許文献３や特許文献４の先行技術は、靴底に取り付けられた按摩突起又はマッサージ棒は、磁石が配されていないので、マッサージ効果はあるものの磁力による血行促進等の効果を同時に奏することがない。また、これら按摩突起やマッサージ棒は、固定座等に対して周方向に動く構造のため、歩くときに按摩突起又はマッサージ棒が周方向にずれるおそれがある。そうすると、按摩突起又はマッサージ棒の上面がずれて、使用者が不快に感じるとともに、按摩突起又はマッサージ棒に上下方向や周方向、その他方向から種々の荷重を受けることとなり破損しやすい。
Further, the prior arts of Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4 have an effect of promoting blood circulation by a magnetic force at the same time, although there is a massage effect, because the massage protrusion or the massage rod attached to the shoe sole has no massage. There is nothing. Moreover, since these Satsuma processus | protrusions and a massage stick are the structures which move to a circumferential direction with respect to a fixed seat etc., there is a possibility that a Satsuma procession or a massage stick may shift to the circumference direction when walking. If it does so, the upper surface of a Satsuma processus or a massage stick will shift, and while a user will feel uncomfortable, it will receive a various load from an up-and-down direction, a peripheral direction, and other directions, and it will be easy to be damaged.
そのため、仮に特許文献３の按摩突起や特許文献４のマッサージ棒の内部に磁石を配したとしても、磁石に種々の方向から荷重がかかると、磁石が破損するおそれがある。とりわけ、磁石は強度が高くないので、このような種々の方向から荷重がかかると、すぐに破損してしまう可能性がある。
Therefore, even if a magnet is arranged inside the Satsuma protrusion of Patent Document 3 or the massage rod of Patent Document 4, if the magnet is loaded from various directions, the magnet may be damaged. In particular, since the strength of a magnet is not high, when a load is applied from such various directions, it may be damaged immediately.
本発明は上述の点に鑑みてなされたもので、弾性部材を用いて、足裏に過度の荷重がかかることを抑制し、かつ、磁石にかかる荷重方向を規定して、磁石の破損を抑制するマッサージユニットを提供することを目的とする。
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described points. Using an elastic member, it is possible to suppress an excessive load from being applied to the sole, and to regulate the load direction applied to the magnet, thereby suppressing the breakage of the magnet. The purpose is to provide a massage unit.
上記の課題を解決するために本発明に係るマッサージユニットは、上方が開口し、下方に底部を具備する第一の筒状体と、下方が開口し、上方に上面が湾曲した塞ぎ部を具備し、前記第一の筒状体に摺動可能に取り付けられた第二の筒状体と、前記底部と前記塞ぎ部との間で、前記第一及び第二の筒状体の軸方向に沿って配された弾性部材と、前記弾性部材と前記塞ぎ部との間に配された磁石と、を備え、
前記第一の筒状体は、前記底部の周縁から上方に延在する側部と、この側部に軸方向に沿って周方向に所定の間隔をあけて設けられた長孔と、を有し、前記第二の筒状体は、前記塞ぎ部の周縁から下方に延在する側部と、この側部に軸方向の下方に前記長孔に嵌まり摺動する突起と、を有することを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above problems, a massage unit according to the present invention includes a first cylindrical body that is open at the top and has a bottom portion at the bottom, and a closing portion that is open at the bottom and has a curved upper surface. And in the axial direction of the first and second cylindrical bodies between the second cylindrical body slidably attached to the first cylindrical body and the bottom portion and the closing portion. An elastic member disposed along the magnet, and a magnet disposed between the elastic member and the closing portion,
The first cylindrical body has a side portion extending upward from the peripheral edge of the bottom portion, and a long hole provided in the side portion at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction along the axial direction. The second cylindrical body has a side portion extending downward from a peripheral edge of the closing portion, and a protrusion that fits and slides in the long hole in the lower side in the axial direction on the side portion. It is characterized by.
前記第一の筒状体は、前記底部の周縁から上方に延在する側部と、この側部に軸方向に沿って周方向に所定の間隔をあけて設けられた長孔と、を有し、前記第二の筒状体は、前記塞ぎ部の周縁から下方に延在する側部と、この側部に軸方向の下方に前記長孔に嵌まり摺動する突起と、を有することを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above problems, a massage unit according to the present invention includes a first cylindrical body that is open at the top and has a bottom portion at the bottom, and a closing portion that is open at the bottom and has a curved upper surface. And in the axial direction of the first and second cylindrical bodies between the second cylindrical body slidably attached to the first cylindrical body and the bottom portion and the closing portion. An elastic member disposed along the magnet, and a magnet disposed between the elastic member and the closing portion,
The first cylindrical body has a side portion extending upward from the peripheral edge of the bottom portion, and a long hole provided in the side portion at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction along the axial direction. The second cylindrical body has a side portion extending downward from a peripheral edge of the closing portion, and a protrusion that fits and slides in the long hole in the lower side in the axial direction on the side portion. It is characterized by.
この構成によれば、マッサージユニットに弾性部材が配されているので、荷重や加圧に応じて、第二の筒状体が第一の筒状体に対し上下に摺動する。これにより、人に適度に圧を加えられる。また、第二の筒状体の塞ぎ部の上面が湾曲した面をしているので、角がなく痛くない。以上のようにして、使用者が長時間使用した場合の、過度な疲れや痛みを抑制する。さらに、マッサージユニットの内部には磁石が配されているので、圧によるマッサージに加えて、磁気の効果によって血行促進やコリをやわらげられる。
According to this configuration, since the elastic member is arranged in the massage unit, the second cylindrical body slides up and down relative to the first cylindrical body in response to a load and pressurization. Thereby, a person can be moderately pressurized. Moreover, since the upper surface of the closing part of the second cylindrical body has a curved surface, there is no corner and it is not painful. As described above, excessive fatigue and pain when the user uses for a long time is suppressed. Furthermore, since the magnet is arranged inside the massage unit, in addition to massage by pressure, blood circulation promotion and stiffness can be eased by the magnetic effect.
また、第二の筒状体の突起部が、第一の筒状体の長穴に嵌まることで、第二の筒状体が第一の筒状体に対してスムーズに摺動するとともに、第一の筒状体からの第二の筒状体の抜けを防止する。さらに、突起部が長孔に嵌まって上下方向に摺動するので、第二の筒状体が第一の筒状体に対する周方向へのずれを抑えられ、第二の筒状体の上面の向きを一定に保つことができるとともに、磁石にかかる荷重を上下方向に規定して、周方向や斜め方向等の予期せぬ方向からの荷重を抑制し、磁石の破損を抑える。
Moreover, while the projection part of a 2nd cylindrical body fits in the long hole of a 1st cylindrical body, while a 2nd cylindrical body slides smoothly with respect to a 1st cylindrical body, The second cylindrical body is prevented from coming off from the first cylindrical body. Further, since the protrusion fits into the elongated hole and slides in the vertical direction, the second cylindrical body can be prevented from shifting in the circumferential direction with respect to the first cylindrical body, and the upper surface of the second cylindrical body Can be kept constant, and the load applied to the magnet is defined in the vertical direction to suppress the load from an unexpected direction such as a circumferential direction or an oblique direction, thereby suppressing breakage of the magnet.
ここで「弾性部材」とは、例えば、金属性又は樹脂性のコイルバネやゴム等をいう。なお、弾性部材にコイルバネを用いる場合には、第一の筒状体の底部の中央に、コイルバネを位置決めする突起を設けるとよい。また、「周方向に所定の間隔」とは、例えば１８０度であり、１２０度であり、９０度である。なお、これ以外の間隔としてもよい。
Here, “elastic member” refers to, for example, a metallic or resinous coil spring or rubber. In addition, when using a coil spring for an elastic member, it is good to provide the protrusion which positions a coil spring in the center of the bottom part of a 1st cylindrical body. The “predetermined interval in the circumferential direction” is, for example, 180 degrees, 120 degrees, and 90 degrees. Other intervals may be used.
請求項２に係るマッサージユニットは、前記第二の筒状体が、さらに、その側部の下端から軸方向に沿って、周方向に所定の間隔をあけて設けられた切り欠き、を有することを特徴とする。
In the massage unit according to claim 2, the second cylindrical body further includes a notch provided at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction along the axial direction from the lower end of the side portion. It is characterized by.
この構成によれば、第二の筒状体に切り欠きが形成されていることにより、側部が下方で複数に分断されるため、これら分断された側部を内方に撓ませて、第一の筒状体に取り付けやすくなっている。また、第二の筒状体に第一の筒状体を取り付けて使用する時にも、第二の筒状体が上下に摺動する際に、第二の筒状体が撓むことで、力を逃がすことができる。
According to this configuration, since the cutout is formed in the second cylindrical body, the side portion is divided into a plurality of portions below, so that the divided side portions are bent inward, It is easy to attach to one cylindrical body. In addition, when the first cylindrical body is attached to the second cylindrical body and used, when the second cylindrical body slides up and down, the second cylindrical body bends, You can escape power.

As shown in FIG. 1, amassage unit 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first cylindrical body 2, a second cylindrical body 3, a coil spring 4 (elastic member), and a neodymium magnet 5. With.
図１に示すように、本発明に係る一実施形態であるマッサージユニット１は、第一の筒状体２と、第二の筒状体３と、コイルバネ４（弾性部材）と、ネオジウム磁石５とを備える。 <Structure of massage unit>
As shown in FIG. 1, a
図２（ａ）に示すように、第一の筒状体２は、円形の底部２１と、底部２１の周縁から上方に延在する側部２２と、を備える。底部２１には、その中央に突起部２３が形成されている。側部２２には、軸方向Ｘと平行に、貫通孔である長孔２４が周方向Ｙに約１８０度の間隔をあけて２つ形成されている。また、側部２２の外周面２２ａには、軸方向Ｘの下方に、円環状の返し２５が形成されている。この返し２５があることにより、マッサージユニット１を履物底等の嵌合孔に取り付けた際、マッサージユニット１を抜けにくくすることができる。なお、本実施形態の第一の筒状体２は、径が約１３ｍｍ、高さが約１４ｍｍであえる。
2A, the first tubular body 2 includes a circular bottom portion 21 and side portions 22 extending upward from the periphery of the bottom portion 21. As shown in FIG. A projection 23 is formed at the center of the bottom 21. In the side portion 22, two long holes 24, which are through-holes, are formed in parallel with the axial direction X with an interval of about 180 degrees in the circumferential direction Y. Further, an annular barb 25 is formed on the outer peripheral surface 22 a of the side portion 22 below the axial direction X. By having this return 25, when the massage unit 1 is attached to a fitting hole such as a footwear bottom, the massage unit 1 can be made difficult to come off. The first cylindrical body 2 of the present embodiment has a diameter of about 13 mm and a height of about 14 mm.
図２（ｂ）に示すように、第二の筒状体３は、上に凸の半球状の塞ぎ部３１と、塞ぎ部３１の下面周縁から下方に延在する側部３２と、を備える。塞ぎ部３１は、その下面から頂点までの距離が２ｍｍに形成されている。また、側部３２の外周面３２ａには、軸方向Ｘの下方に、第一の筒状体２の長孔２４に嵌まり摺動する突起部３３が、周方向Ｙに約１８０度の間隔をあけて２つ形成されている。また、側部３２の下端から、軸方向Ｘに沿って、切り欠き３４が周方向Ｙに約１８０度の間隔をあけて２箇所形成されている。この切り欠き３４が形成されていることにより側部３２が下方で２つに分断されるため、これらを内方に撓ませることで第一の筒状体２に取り付けやすくなっている。
As shown in FIG. 2B, the second cylindrical body 3 includes a hemispherical blocking portion 31 that protrudes upward, and a side portion 32 that extends downward from the lower surface periphery of the blocking portion 31. . The closing part 31 is formed so that the distance from the lower surface to the apex thereof is 2 mm. Further, on the outer peripheral surface 32a of the side portion 32, below the axial direction X, there are projections 33 that slide into the long holes 24 of the first cylindrical body 2 at intervals of about 180 degrees in the circumferential direction Y. Two are formed with a gap. In addition, two notches 34 are formed in the circumferential direction Y from the lower end of the side portion 32 with an interval of about 180 degrees along the axial direction X. Since the side portion 32 is divided into two parts by forming the notches 34, it is easy to attach the first cylindrical body 2 by bending them inwardly.
また、第二の筒状体３の側部３２は、第一の筒状体２の側部２２よりも、断面の径が少し小さく形成されており、第二の筒状体３が第一の筒状体２に嵌り、第二の筒状体３が第一の筒状体２に対して軸方向Ｘに摺動する。なお、第二の筒状体３の摺動距離は、長穴２４の長さ寸法となる。このとき、突起部３３が長穴２４に嵌ることで、第二の筒状体３が第一の筒状体２から抜けることを防止する。なお、本実施形態の第二の筒状体３は、径が約１０ｍｍ、高さが約１６ｍｍである。
Moreover, the side part 32 of the 2nd cylindrical body 3 is formed in the diameter of a cross section a little smaller than the side part 22 of the 1st cylindrical body 2, and the 2nd cylindrical body 3 is 1st. The second cylindrical body 3 slides in the axial direction X with respect to the first cylindrical body 2. The sliding distance of the second cylindrical body 3 is the length dimension of the long hole 24. At this time, the protrusion 33 is fitted into the long hole 24, thereby preventing the second tubular body 3 from coming off the first tubular body 2. The second cylindrical body 3 of this embodiment has a diameter of about 10 mm and a height of about 16 mm.
また、本実施形態における第一の筒状体２および第二の筒状体３は、ＡＢＳ樹脂素材からなる。なお、これらの素材には、ＡＢＳ樹脂素材以外にも、その他の樹脂や木片、金属など所定の強度を有する別の素材を用いてもよいし、第一の筒状体２と第二の筒状体３を、例えば樹脂と金属など、別素材を組み合わせてもよい。また、第一の筒状体２又は第二の筒状体３の素材に金属を用いる場合は、磁石につかない金属（例えば、アルミニウム、金、銀、銅など）が好ましい。磁石につく金属（例えば、鉄、ニッケル、コバルト、これらの合金）を用いると、内部のネオジウム磁石５によって、第一の筒状体２又は第二の筒状体３が磁性を帯びるので、所望の磁束密度を得るのが困難である。
Further, the first cylindrical body 2 and the second cylindrical body 3 in the present embodiment are made of an ABS resin material. In addition to the ABS resin material, other materials having a predetermined strength such as other resins, wood pieces, and metals may be used for these materials, or the first cylindrical body 2 and the second cylinder. The material 3 may be combined with another material such as resin and metal. Moreover, when using a metal for the raw material of the 1st cylindrical body 2 or the 2nd cylindrical body 3, the metal (for example, aluminum, gold | metal | money, silver, copper, etc.) which does not stick to a magnet is preferable. If a metal attached to the magnet (for example, iron, nickel, cobalt, or an alloy thereof) is used, the first cylindrical body 2 or the second cylindrical body 3 is magnetized by the internal neodymium magnet 5, so that the desired It is difficult to obtain the magnetic flux density.
図２（ｃ）に示すように、コイルバネ４は、径が７ｍｍ、高さが２５ｍｍで、第一の筒状体２と第二の筒状体３との間に配されている。コイルバネ４の下面を第一の筒状体２の突起部２３に嵌めて、さらにコイルバネ４の上面にネオジウム磁石５を載置し、その上方から第二の筒状体３を取り付ける。これにより、コイルバネ４とネオジウム磁石５とが、第一の筒状体２の底部２１と、第二の筒状体３の塞ぎ部３１の下面との間に挟まれる（図１（ｃ）参照）。
As shown in FIG. 2C, the coil spring 4 has a diameter of 7 mm and a height of 25 mm, and is arranged between the first cylindrical body 2 and the second cylindrical body 3. The lower surface of the coil spring 4 is fitted into the protrusion 23 of the first cylindrical body 2, and the neodymium magnet 5 is placed on the upper surface of the coil spring 4, and the second cylindrical body 3 is attached from above. Accordingly, the coil spring 4 and the neodymium magnet 5 are sandwiched between the bottom 21 of the first cylindrical body 2 and the lower surface of the closing portion 31 of the second cylindrical body 3 (see FIG. 1C). ).
また、図２（ｄ）に示すように、本実施形態に用いるネオジウム磁石５は、径が約７ｍｍ、高さが約２ｍｍの円柱形状で、表面にニッケルめっきが施され、磁束密度が約２７００ガウスの磁石である。そして、ネオジウム磁石５を、第一の筒状体２と第二の筒状体３との間に配した状態で、マッサージユニット１（第二の筒状体３の塞ぎ部３１）の表面の磁束密度が約１２００となる。
Further, as shown in FIG. 2D, the neodymium magnet 5 used in the present embodiment has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of about 7 mm and a height of about 2 mm, the surface is nickel-plated, and the magnetic flux density is about 2700. Gaussian magnet. And in the state which arranged the neodymium magnet 5 between the 1st cylindrical body 2 and the 2nd cylindrical body 3, the surface of the massage unit 1 (blocking part 31 of the 2nd cylindrical body 3) is carried out. The magnetic flux density is about 1200.
また、ネオジウム磁石５にかえて、径が約５ｍｍ、高さが約２ｍｍの円柱形状で、表面にニッケルめっきが施され、磁束密度が約２９００ガウスの磁石を用いてもよく、この場合マッサージユニット１の磁束密度は約９００ガウスとなる。なお、これ以外に、磁束密度１０００～７０００ガウスの磁石を用いてもよく、この場合マッサージユニット１の磁束密度を３５０～２０００ガウスとできる。また、ネオジウム磁石以外にも、フェライト磁石、サマリウムコバルト磁石、アルニコ磁石を用いることもできる。
Further, instead of the neodymium magnet 5, a magnet having a cylindrical shape with a diameter of about 5 mm and a height of about 2 mm, nickel-plated on the surface, and a magnetic flux density of about 2900 gauss may be used. The magnetic flux density of 1 is about 900 gauss. In addition, a magnet having a magnetic flux density of 1000 to 7000 gauss may be used. In this case, the magnetic flux density of the massage unit 1 can be 350 to 2000 gauss. In addition to neodymium magnets, ferrite magnets, samarium cobalt magnets, and alnico magnets can also be used.
また、本実施形態における磁石には、円柱形状のものを使用しているが、円柱形状以外の形状（例えば、角柱形状、球体形状など）を使用してもよい。なお、球体形状の磁石を使用する場合、球体形状の磁石にもＮ極とＳ極があるので、マッサージユニット１の内部で回転してＮ極とＳ極との位置がずれないよう、位置決めをする必要がある。したがって、本実施形態のマッサージユニット１には、ネオジウム磁石５のように円柱形状の磁石が好適である。
Further, although the cylindrical magnet is used as the magnet in this embodiment, a shape other than the cylindrical shape (for example, a prismatic shape, a spherical shape, etc.) may be used. When using spherical magnets, the spherical magnets also have N poles and S poles. Therefore, positioning is performed so that the positions of the N poles and S poles do not shift by rotating inside the massage unit 1. There is a need to. Therefore, a cylindrical magnet like the neodymium magnet 5 is suitable for the massage unit 1 of the present embodiment.
また、マッサージユニット１は、コイルバネ４にかえて、これと弾性率の異なるコイルバネ４’や４’’を用いることで、マッサージユニット１の弾性率を変更できる。例えば、コイルバネ４よりも弾性率の大きいコイルバネ４’を用いれば、固いマッサージユニット１’となり、弾性率の小さいコイルバネ４’’を用いれば、柔らかいマッサージユニット１’’となる。
In addition, the massage unit 1 can change the elastic modulus of the massage unit 1 by using a coil spring 4 ′ or 4 ″ having a different elastic modulus instead of the coil spring 4. For example, if a coil spring 4 ′ having a larger elastic modulus than the coil spring 4 is used, a hard massage unit 1 ′ is obtained, and if a coil spring 4 ″ having a smaller elastic modulus is used, a soft massage unit 1 ″ is obtained.

図３（ａ）は、マッサージユニット１の変形例であるマッサージユニット１０１を示す図である。マッサージユニット１０１とマッサージユニット１との違いは、主として第二の筒状体３の塞ぎ部３１の小孔１３１の有無である。マッサージユニット１０１は、塞ぎ部３１の半球状の頂点から軸方向Ｘに沿って、貫通孔である小孔１３１が１つ形成されている。なお、この小孔１３１は、複数形成してもよい。そして、この小孔１３１に、消臭剤や芳香剤を入れて、履物内の臭気を抑えることができる。 (Modification 1)
FIG. 3A is a view showing amassage unit 101 which is a modification of the massage unit 1. The difference between the massage unit 101 and the massage unit 1 is mainly the presence or absence of a small hole 131 in the closing portion 31 of the second cylindrical body 3. In the massage unit 101, one small hole 131 that is a through hole is formed along the axial direction X from the hemispherical apex of the closing portion 31. A plurality of the small holes 131 may be formed. And a deodorant and a fragrance | flavor can be put in this small hole 131, and the odor in footwear can be suppressed.

図３（ｂ）は、マッサージユニット１の変形例であるマッサージユニット２０１を示す図である。マッサージユニット２０１とマッサージユニット１との違いは、主として返し２５に加えて、もう一つ返し２２５を設けたことである。これにより、マッサージユニット２０１を履物底等の嵌合孔に取り付けた際、より抜けにくくなる。 (Modification 2)
FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating amassage unit 201 that is a modification of the massage unit 1. The difference between the massage unit 201 and the massage unit 1 is that, in addition to the return 25, another return 225 is provided. Thereby, when attaching the massage unit 201 to fitting holes, such as a footwear bottom, it becomes difficult to come off.
図３（ｂ）は、マッサージユニット１の変形例であるマッサージユニット２０１を示す図である。マッサージユニット２０１とマッサージユニット１との違いは、主として返し２５に加えて、もう一つ返し２２５を設けたことである。これにより、マッサージユニット２０１を履物底等の嵌合孔に取り付けた際、より抜けにくくなる。 (Modification 2)

＜マッサージユニットを取り付けた履物＞
次に、マッサージユニット１をサンダル１０（履物）に適用した場合について説明する。図４（ａ）は、靴底１１の斜視図である。図４（ｂ）は、複数のマッサージユニット１を取り付けた状態の靴底１１の斜視図である。 <Footwear with massage unit>
Next, the case where themassage unit 1 is applied to the sandal 10 (footwear) will be described. FIG. 4A is a perspective view of the shoe sole 11. FIG. 4B is a perspective view of the shoe sole 11 with a plurality of massage units 1 attached thereto.
次に、マッサージユニット１をサンダル１０（履物）に適用した場合について説明する。図４（ａ）は、靴底１１の斜視図である。図４（ｂ）は、複数のマッサージユニット１を取り付けた状態の靴底１１の斜視図である。 <Footwear with massage unit>
Next, the case where the
図４（ａ）に示すように、靴底１１には、その上面１１ａに複数の嵌合孔１２が設けられている。靴底１１はＴＰＲ樹脂からなる。なお、ＴＰＲ樹脂以外にもＥＶＡなどから樹脂系のシリコン、ＰＵ、ＰＶＣ等を用いてもよい。また、嵌合孔１２は、径が約１３ｍｍ、高さが約１４ｍｍで、嵌合孔１２の径は、マッサージユニット１（第一の筒状体２）の外径よりも少しだけ小さく形成されている。この構成により、マッサージユニット１を嵌合孔１２に取り付けた際に、マッサージユニット１が抜けにくい。さらに、マッサージユニット１の第一の筒状体２には、円環状の返し２５が形成されているので、嵌合孔１２からより抜けにくくなっている。
As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the shoe sole 11 is provided with a plurality of fitting holes 12 on the upper surface 11a thereof. The shoe sole 11 is made of TPR resin. In addition to the TPR resin, resin-based silicon such as EVA, PU, PVC, or the like may be used. The fitting hole 12 has a diameter of about 13 mm and a height of about 14 mm. The diameter of the fitting hole 12 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the massage unit 1 (first cylindrical body 2). ing. With this configuration, when the massage unit 1 is attached to the fitting hole 12, it is difficult for the massage unit 1 to come off. Further, since the first tubular body 2 of the massage unit 1 is formed with an annular return 25, it is more difficult to come out of the fitting hole 12.
また、靴底１１の上面１１ａには、足裏に存在するツボと対応する体の部位毎に、その領域に分けた図柄が表されており、少なくともそれぞれの部位に対応するツボの位置をカバーするように、嵌合孔１２が設けられている。なお、人が履いた時のバランスを考え、ツボ以外の位置にも嵌合孔１２は設けられている。
Further, on the upper surface 11a of the shoe sole 11, a pattern divided into regions is represented for each part of the body corresponding to the acupuncture points present on the soles, and covers at least the positions of the acupoints corresponding to the respective parts. Thus, a fitting hole 12 is provided. Note that the fitting hole 12 is also provided at a position other than the acupoint in consideration of a balance when worn by a person.
図４（ｂ）に示すように、マッサージユニット１は、靴底１１の嵌合孔１２にそれぞれ取り付ける。このとき、足の踵部周辺には、マッサージユニット１よりも弾性率の高いマッサージユニット１’を取り付ける。これは、踵部周辺が比較的固いことと、人が歩く際など踵部周辺には比較的大きな荷重がかかるためである。このように、足裏の部分に合わせて弾性率の異なるマッサージユニット１、１’を配することで、使用者に合わせた適度なマッサージ効果を得られる。また、これらマッサージユニット１、１’は、取り外しできるので、足裏の状態に合わせて取付部分の組み合わせを容易に変更できる。
As shown in FIG. 4 (b), the massage unit 1 is attached to each fitting hole 12 of the shoe sole 11. At this time, a massage unit 1 ′ having a higher elastic modulus than the massage unit 1 is attached around the heel of the foot. This is because the periphery of the buttocks is relatively hard and a relatively large load is applied to the periphery of the buttocks such as when a person walks. As described above, by arranging the massage units 1 and 1 ′ having different elastic moduli in accordance with the sole portion, an appropriate massage effect suitable for the user can be obtained. Moreover, since these massage units 1 and 1 'can be removed, the combination of attachment parts can be easily changed according to the state of the sole.
このように、靴底１１にマッサージユニット１を取り付けたサンダル１０を使用者が履いて歩くことによって、マッサージユニット１が上下に滑動し、足裏のツボを適度に刺激する。これと同時に、マッサージユニット１に配されたネオジウム磁石５の磁気によって、血行促進等の効果も達成される。
Thus, when the user wears the sandal 10 with the massage unit 1 attached to the shoe sole 11 and walks, the massage unit 1 slides up and down, and moderately stimulates the acupoints on the soles. At the same time, effects such as blood circulation promotion are achieved by the magnetism of the neodymium magnet 5 arranged in the massage unit 1.
すなわち、使用者はこのサンダル１０を履くだけで、ツボ押しによるマッサージ効果と、磁気による血行促進効果を同時かつ容易に得ることができる。
That is, the user can obtain the massage effect by pressing the acupoint and the blood circulation promotion effect by magnetism simultaneously and easily just by wearing the sandal 10.
