 ところで、特許文献1の椅子型マッサージ機は、背部マッサージ機構に供えられたマッサージアームを使用者の施療部に伸ばしてマッサージを行う機械式となっており、このマッサージアームを外部に向かって突出させることができるように背もたれ部の中央側に外部(施療部側)に向かって開口する開口部を有している。
 この開口部に関し、例えば、腰部を施療する場合のように、頭部から離れた位置まで背部マッサージ機構を移動させると、頭部や肩部の後方に背部マッサージ機構が存在しなくなる。多くの場合、開口部の大きさは使用者の頭部より幅広とされているため、使用者が背もたれ部に凭れかかると頭部が開口部から背もたれ部の内側に落ち込んでしまい、快適な着座姿勢を保持できなくなる可能性もある。特に、背もたれ部をリクライニング姿勢に倒している際に、この状況(使用者の頭部が、開口部の中側に落ち込んでしまう状況)が発生しやすいこととなる。

In addition, a back massage mechanism 6 for treating the back of the user who is leaning on the backrest 3 is provided inside the backrest 3.
 上述した座部マッサージ機構5及び背部マッサージ機構6はいずれもガイドレール(座部ガイドレール及び背部ガイドレール7)を用いて前後方向や上下方向に案内可能とされている。さらにまた、座部2の前方のフットレスト部4には、使用者の下肢を差し込み可能な形状に形成されると共に差し込まれた使用者の下肢に対してエアーバッグによるマッサージを可能とするフットマッサージ機構が設けられている。 Both the seat massage mechanism 5 and the back massage mechanism 6 described above can be guided in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction using guide rails (seat guide rail and back guide rail 7). Furthermore, a foot massage mechanism is formed in the footrest part 4 in front of the seat part 2 so that the user's lower limb can be inserted, and the inserted user's lower limb can be massaged by an air bag. Is provided.
 以降では、本実施形態の椅子型マッサージ機1を構成する座部2、背もたれ部3、フットレスト部4、座部マッサージ機構5、及び背部マッサージ機構6について説明する。
 なお、以降で椅子型マッサージ機1を説明する際には、図1に示すように、起立状態にある背もたれ部3の高さ方向を上下方向とおき、図1に示す方向を左右方向(幅方向)や前後方向として説明を行う。これらの方向は、椅子型マッサージ機1に着座した使用者から見た上下方向、左右方向、前後方向と一致するものとなっている。
Hereinafter, the seat part 2, the backrest part 3, the footrest part 4, the seat part massage mechanism 5, and the back part massage mechanism 6 which comprise the chair type massage machine 1 of this embodiment are demonstrated.
In the following description of the chair type massage machine 1, as shown in FIG. 1, the height direction of the backrest 3 in the standing state is set as the vertical direction, and the direction shown in FIG. Direction) and the front-rear direction. These directions coincide with the up-down direction, the left-right direction, and the front-rear direction as viewed from the user seated on the chair type massage machine 1.
 図1及び図2に示すように、座部2は、角棒状の部材を組み合わせた支持フレーム8を有している。この支持フレーム8の内側には、座部マッサージ機構5を前後方向に移動可能とする座部ガイドレールが配設されている。なお、図示は省略するが、上述した支持フレーム8の上部には使用者が着座時に使用するクッション部材が設けられており、また座部マッサージ機構5や座部ガイドレールはケーシングやシートなどで覆われていて、外側からは異物などが進入できないようになっている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the seat portion 2 has a support frame 8 in which square bar-like members are combined. Inside the support frame 8, a seat guide rail that allows the seat massage mechanism 5 to move in the front-rear direction is disposed. Although not shown in the figure, a cushion member used when the user is seated is provided on the support frame 8 described above, and the seat massage mechanism 5 and the seat guide rail are covered with a casing, a seat, or the like. The foreign object cannot enter from the outside.
 上述した座部マッサージ機構5は、座部2に着座した使用者の臀部の施療部に対してマッサージを行うものとなっている。この座部マッサージ機構5は、座部2の支持フレーム8に取り付けられた座部ガイドレールによって前後方向に移動可能とされている。具体的には、座部マッサージ機構5は、駆動モータで発生した回転駆動力をカムを用いて変換することにより、マッサージ部材9を左右方向に往復移動させることで、マッサージ部材9を用いて施療部を揉みマッサージ可能な構成となっている。 The seat massage mechanism 5 described above performs massage on the user's buttocks treatment section seated on the seat 2. The seat massage mechanism 5 is movable in the front-rear direction by a seat guide rail attached to the support frame 8 of the seat 2. Specifically, the seat massage mechanism 5 uses the massage member 9 to reciprocate the massage member 9 in the left-right direction by converting the rotational driving force generated by the drive motor using a cam. It is configured to massage the part.
 フットレスト部4は、座部2の前方に配備された筺状の部材であり、使用者の下肢(膝より先の部分)を施療可能となっている。具体的には、フットレスト部4には、使用者の下肢を挿し込み可能な下肢挿入部が形成されており、下肢挿入部の周囲には下肢挿入部に挿し込まれた使用者の下肢を施療するフットマッサージ機構が配備されている。また、フットレスト部4は、左右方向を向く軸回りに回動自在とされており、下肢挿入部を上方に向けたマッサージ姿勢と、下肢を休憩させることができるレスト姿勢(下肢挿入部とは反対側の底面を上に向けて下肢を載せて足先を休める姿勢)と、に姿勢変更を可能としている。なお、図1のフットレスト部4は、下肢挿入部を下方に向けたレスト姿勢となっており、下肢挿入部を床面側に向けた姿勢となっている。 The footrest part 4 is a bowl-shaped member deployed in front of the seat part 2, and can treat the user's lower limb (the part beyond the knee). Specifically, the footrest portion 4 is formed with a lower limb insertion portion into which the user's lower limb can be inserted, and the user's lower limb inserted into the lower limb insertion portion is treated around the lower limb insertion portion. A foot massage mechanism is in place. In addition, the footrest part 4 is rotatable about an axis that faces the left and right direction, and a massage posture with the lower limb insertion portion facing upward and a rest posture that can rest the lower limb (opposite of the lower limb insertion portion) The posture can be changed in such a manner that the bottom of the side faces upward and the lower limbs are placed to rest the feet. In addition, the footrest part 4 of FIG. 1 is a resting posture in which the lower limb insertion part is directed downward, and is in a posture in which the lower limb insertion part is directed to the floor surface side.
 図1及び図2に示すように、背もたれ部3は、座部2の後方に配備された部材であり、使用者がもたれかかることができるように厚みを持った平たい板状に形成されている。背もたれ部3の内側には、使用者の肩部から背部を通って腰部までの広い範囲に対して揉み、叩き、又は掴みマッサージを行う背部マッサージ機構6と、この背部マッサージ機構6を背もたれ部3の長手方向(上下方向)に沿って案内可能な背部ガイドレール7と、が設けられている。 As shown in FIG.1 and FIG.2, the backrest part 3 is the member arrange | positioned at the back of the seat part 2, and is formed in the flat plate shape with thickness so that a user can lean against. . Inside the backrest 3, a back massage mechanism 6 that massages, strikes, or grasps a wide range from the user's shoulder to the waist through the back, and the back massage mechanism 6 is placed on the backrest 3. The back part guide rail 7 which can guide along the longitudinal direction (up-down direction) is provided.
 具体的には、図2に示すように、背もたれ部3は、棒状の部材を組み合わせた背部フレーム10を内部に有している。この背部フレーム10を構成する棒状の部材の一つが背もたれ部3の傾斜方向に沿って伸びる縦桟部材10aである。この縦桟部材10aは、背もたれ部3の左側と右側とにそれぞれ配備されている。また、背部フレーム10を構成する棒状の部材のもう一つが、左右の縦桟部材10aの間に水平方向に沿って架け渡された横桟部材10bである。この横桟部材10bは、上下方向に距離をあけて複数設けられており、左右の縦桟部材10a同士を水平方向に連結している。つまり、背部フレーム10は縦桟部材10aと横桟部材10bとを縦横に組み合わせることで梯子状に形成されたものとなっている。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the backrest portion 3 has a back frame 10 in which rod-like members are combined. One of the rod-shaped members constituting the back frame 10 is a vertical beam member 10 a extending along the inclination direction of the backrest 3. The vertical beam members 10a are provided on the left side and the right side of the backrest part 3, respectively. Another of the rod-shaped members constituting the back frame 10 is a horizontal beam member 10b that is stretched along the horizontal direction between the left and right vertical beam members 10a. A plurality of the horizontal beam members 10b are provided at a distance in the vertical direction, and the left and right vertical beam members 10a are connected in the horizontal direction. That is, the back frame 10 is formed in a ladder shape by combining the vertical beam member 10a and the horizontal beam member 10b vertically and horizontally.
 背部ガイドレール7は、上述した背部フレーム10の縦桟部材10aのさらに内側(幅方向の内側)に配備された長尺の部材(左右一対のレール部材)であり、背部マッサージ機構6を背もたれ部3の長手方向に沿って案内可能となっている。背部ガイドレール7は、縦桟部材10aとほぼ平行となるように、緩やかに湾曲しながら背もたれ部3の傾斜方向に沿って伸びている。左右一対の背部ガイドレール7の幅間隔は使用者の頭部より幅広とされている。 The back portion guide rail 7 is a long member (a pair of left and right rail members) disposed further inside (in the width direction) of the vertical beam member 10a of the back frame 10 described above, and the back massage mechanism 6 is a backrest portion. 3 can be guided along the longitudinal direction. The back portion guide rail 7 extends along the inclination direction of the backrest portion 3 while being gently curved so as to be substantially parallel to the vertical beam member 10a. The width interval between the pair of left and right back guide rails 7 is wider than the user's head.
 そして、この背部ガイドレール7の前側には後述する走行ギヤ11と噛み合うラック部12が形成されており、このラック部12に走行ギヤ11を噛み合わせることで背部マッサージ機構6が背部ガイドレール7に沿って上下方向に案内可能とされている。
 背部マッサージ機構6は、背部マッサージ機構6に設けられた揉み駆動部(駆動モータ)で回転駆動力を発生させ、発生した回転駆動力をカムを用いて変換して、マッサージアーム13を左右方向に往復揺動させるものである。つまり、背部マッサージ機構6は、このマッサージアーム13を背部マッサージ機構6の左側と右側とにそれぞれ備えており、それぞれのマッサージアーム13の先端には背部の施療部を施療する施療子14が取り付けられている。そして、背部マッサージ機構6は、左右のマッサージアーム13を所望の速度や方向に揺動させることで、施療子14を用いて施療部に対する揉み・掴み・叩きなどのマッサージを行う構成となっている。
A rack portion 12 is formed on the front side of the back guide rail 7 so as to mesh with a travel gear 11 to be described later. By engaging the travel gear 11 with the rack portion 12, the back massage mechanism 6 is attached to the back guide rail 7. It is possible to guide in the vertical direction along.
The back massage mechanism 6 generates a rotational driving force by a stagnation drive unit (drive motor) provided in the back massage mechanism 6, converts the generated rotational driving force using a cam, and moves the massage arm 13 in the left-right direction. Reciprocally swing. That is, the back massage mechanism 6 includes the massage arms 13 on the left side and the right side of the back massage mechanism 6, and a treatment element 14 for treating the treatment part of the back is attached to the tip of each massage arm 13. ing. The back massage mechanism 6 is configured to perform massage such as squeezing, grasping, and hitting the treatment portion using the treatment element 14 by swinging the left and right massage arms 13 in a desired speed and direction. .
 具体的には、本実施形態の背部マッサージ機構6は、使用者の背部の施療部に対して、揉みマッサージを行う揉み機構、叩きマッサージを行う叩き機構、掴みマッサージを行う掴み機構を備えている。これらの機構は、いずれかを一つだけ設けても良いし、複数を組み合わせて設けても良い。
 例えば、本実施形態の揉み機構を例に挙げて説明すれば、揉み駆動部で発生する回転駆動力により揉み回転軸をまず回転駆動させる。ここで、この揉み回転軸には円筒状の偏心ボス部材15が取り付けられており、偏心ボス部材15の外周面にはカム面が形成されている。そして、このカム面は揉み回転軸の軸心に対して傾斜した軸回りを周回するようになっており、カム面にはマッサージアーム13の基端側が回動自在に嵌合している。また、マッサージアーム13の基端側には、左右方向に沿った移動を許容しつつもマッサージアーム13の回動を規制する規制部材が設けられている。それゆえ、揉み駆動部を用いて揉み回転軸を回転させると、円筒状の偏心ボス部材15も左右方向を向く軸回りに回転する。一方、マッサージアーム13は規制部材により回転が規制されているため、偏心ボス部材15に対する同伴回動を規制されたマッサージアーム13はカム面に沿って左右方向に沿って揺動のみを行うようになる。それゆえ、上述した揉み機構では、マッサージアーム13を左右方向に揺動させて、施療子14を用いて施療部を揉むようにマッサージすることで、揉みマッサージを行うことが可能となる。
Specifically, the back massage mechanism 6 of the present embodiment includes a squeezing mechanism for performing massage massage, a slashing mechanism for performing massage massage, and a gripping mechanism for performing massage massage on the treatment unit on the back of the user. . Only one of these mechanisms may be provided, or a plurality of these mechanisms may be provided in combination.
For example, the stagnation mechanism according to the present embodiment will be described as an example. Here, a cylindrical eccentric boss member 15 is attached to the stagnation rotation shaft, and a cam surface is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the eccentric boss member 15. The cam surface circulates around an axis inclined with respect to the axis of the stagnation rotation shaft, and the proximal end side of the massage arm 13 is rotatably fitted to the cam surface. In addition, on the proximal end side of the massage arm 13, a restricting member that restricts the rotation of the massage arm 13 while allowing movement along the left-right direction is provided. Therefore, when the stagnation rotation shaft is rotated using the stagnation drive unit, the cylindrical eccentric boss member 15 also rotates around the axis facing the left-right direction. On the other hand, since the rotation of the massage arm 13 is restricted by the restriction member, the massage arm 13 whose rotation with the eccentric boss member 15 is restricted only swings along the left and right directions along the cam surface. Become. Therefore, in the above-mentioned massage mechanism, massage massage can be performed by swinging the massage arm 13 in the left-right direction and using the treatment element 14 to massage the treatment portion.
 なお、本実施形態の背部マッサージ機構6には、上述した揉み機構以外にも、マッサージアーム13の基端側を短いピッチで往復揺動させることで、施療子14を短いピッチで施療部に打ち付けて、施療部に対する叩きマッサージを行う叩き機構が設けられている。また、本実施形態の背部マッサージ機構6には、マッサージアーム13の施療子14に対して、別途設けられた掴み施療子16を近接離反させるように動かすことで、両施療子14、16間で施療部を掴むように動作させることで施療部に対する掴みマッサージを行う掴み機構も設けられている。しかし、これらの叩き機構や掴み機構は本発明の特徴(枕部材17と枕部材17を進退させる機構)とはあまり関係がないため、以降では詳細な説明を割愛する。 The back massage mechanism 6 of the present embodiment has a treatment element 14 hitting the treatment portion at a short pitch by reciprocatingly swinging the proximal end side of the massage arm 13 at a short pitch, in addition to the above-described massage mechanism. In addition, a tapping mechanism for performing tapping massage on the treatment portion is provided. Further, in the back massage mechanism 6 of the present embodiment, a separately provided gripping treatment element 16 is moved toward and away from the treatment element 14 of the massage arm 13, so that the treatment element 14, 16 is moved between the treatment elements 14 and 16. A gripping mechanism is also provided that performs gripping massage on the treatment unit by operating the treatment unit so as to grip the treatment unit. However, these hitting mechanisms and gripping mechanisms have little relation to the features of the present invention (the mechanism for moving the pillow member 17 and the pillow member 17 back and forth), and therefore will not be described in detail below.
 一方、上述した背部マッサージ機構6には、背部ガイドレール7に沿って背部マッサージ機構6自身を上下方向に移動させる昇降機構18が設けられている。
 昇降機構18は、背部マッサージ機構6に設けられた昇降用駆動部(図示略)で発生した回転駆動力を用いて、背部ガイドレール7のラック部12に噛み合った走行ギヤ11を回転させ、背部マッサージ機構6をラック部12の敷設方向に沿って昇降させる構成となっている。具体的には、昇降機構18は、背部マッサージ機構6の後側に設けられた昇降用駆動部(昇降モータ)と、昇降用駆動部で発生した回転駆動力を伝達されて左右方向を向く軸回りに回転する昇降軸19と、昇降軸19の両端側に設けられた走行ギヤ11と、を備えている。つまり、昇降用駆動部を用いて走行ギヤ11を一方向に回転させると、走行ギヤ11が背部ガイドレール7のラック部12に噛み合ってラック部12を上方に向かって走行し、背部マッサージ機構6が背もたれ部3の上部に向かって移動する(上昇する)。その一方で、走行ギヤ11を上昇時とは反対方向(他方向)に回転させると、走行ギヤ11が背部ガイドレール7のラック部12に噛み合ってラック部12を下方に向かって走行し、背部マッサージ機構6が背もたれ部3の下部に向かって移動する(下降する)。
On the other hand, the back massage mechanism 6 described above is provided with an elevating mechanism 18 that moves the back massage mechanism 6 in the vertical direction along the back guide rail 7.
The elevating mechanism 18 rotates the traveling gear 11 meshed with the rack portion 12 of the back guide rail 7 by using the rotational driving force generated by the elevating drive unit (not shown) provided in the back massage mechanism 6, The massage mechanism 6 is configured to move up and down along the laying direction of the rack portion 12. Specifically, the elevating mechanism 18 is a shaft that is directed to the left and right directions by being transmitted with the elevating drive unit (elevating motor) provided on the rear side of the back massage mechanism 6 and the rotational driving force generated by the elevating drive unit. A lifting shaft 19 that rotates around and a traveling gear 11 provided on both ends of the lifting shaft 19 are provided. That is, when the traveling gear 11 is rotated in one direction using the elevating drive unit, the traveling gear 11 meshes with the rack portion 12 of the back guide rail 7 and travels upward through the rack portion 12, and the back massage mechanism 6. Moves (ascends) toward the upper part of the backrest 3. On the other hand, when the traveling gear 11 is rotated in the opposite direction (the other direction) as it is raised, the traveling gear 11 meshes with the rack portion 12 of the back guide rail 7 and travels downward on the rack portion 12, The massage mechanism 6 moves (lowers) toward the lower part of the backrest 3.
 ところで、本発明の椅子型マッサージ機1は、上述した昇降機構18を用いて背部ガイドレール7に沿って背部マッサージ機構6を上下いずれかの方向に移動させ、使用者の頭部から離れた位置まで背部マッサージ機構6を移行した際に、使用者の頭部を支持可能な枕部材17が背もたれ部3内から進出することを特徴としている。つまり、本発明の椅子型マッサージ機1の枕部材17は、背部マッサージ機構6が移動した跡の背もたれ部3に形成される開口部(使用者を支えるものがない部分)を埋めるように、頭部の後方に出現可能なものとなっている。 By the way, the chair type massage machine 1 of the present invention moves the back massage mechanism 6 in the vertical direction along the back guide rail 7 by using the lifting mechanism 18 described above, and is located away from the user's head. When the back massage mechanism 6 is shifted to the top, the pillow member 17 capable of supporting the user's head advances from the backrest 3. That is, the pillow member 17 of the chair type massage machine 1 according to the present invention fills the opening (the part that does not support the user) formed in the backrest part 3 of the trace where the back massage mechanism 6 has moved. It can appear at the back of the part.
 なお、本実施形態の椅子型マッサージ機1の場合、枕部材17は背部マッサージ機構6が所望の高さまで下降したことに連動して進出するものとなっているが、本発明の椅子型マッサージ機1に設けられる枕部材17の進出手段20は下降したことに連動するものでなくても良い。例えば、背部マッサージ機構6が所望の高さまで上昇したことに連動して枕部材17を進出させる構成を採用しても良いし、背部マッサージ機構6が上方及び下方に所定の高さだけ離れたことに連動して枕部材17を進出させる構成を採用しても良い。 In the case of the chair type massage machine 1 of the present embodiment, the pillow member 17 advances in conjunction with the back massage mechanism 6 being lowered to a desired height, but the chair type massage machine of the present invention. The advancing means 20 of the pillow member 17 provided in 1 may not be interlocked with the lowering. For example, a configuration in which the pillow member 17 is advanced in conjunction with the back massage mechanism 6 rising to a desired height may be adopted, or the back massage mechanism 6 is separated by a predetermined height upward and downward. A configuration may be adopted in which the pillow member 17 is advanced in conjunction with the movement.
 具体的には、本実施形態の椅子型マッサージ機1は、使用者の頭部を支持可能な枕部材17と、枕部材17を背もたれ部3の前方に進出させる進出手段20と、前方に進出した枕部材17を後方に引き戻す引き戻し手段21(言い換えれば、退避手段)と、を有している。そして、この進出手段20は背部マッサージ機構6の下方移動、つまり背部マッサージ機構6が所望の高さまで下降したことに連動して動作するものとなっている。また、引き戻し手段21は、背部マッサージ機構6の上方移動、つまり背部マッサージ機構6が所望の高さを超えて上昇したことに連動するものとなっている。 Specifically, the chair type massage machine 1 of the present embodiment includes a pillow member 17 that can support the user's head, an advancement means 20 that advances the pillow member 17 forward of the backrest portion 3, and an advancement forward. And pull-back means 21 (in other words, retracting means) for pulling back the pillow member 17 backward. The advancing means 20 operates in conjunction with the downward movement of the back massage mechanism 6, that is, when the back massage mechanism 6 is lowered to a desired height. The pull-back means 21 is interlocked with the upward movement of the back massage mechanism 6, that is, when the back massage mechanism 6 has risen beyond a desired height.
 次に、本発明の椅子型マッサージ機1の特徴である枕部材17、進出手段20、及び引き戻し手段21について説明する。
 枕部材17は、使用者の頭部を支持可能なように、左右方向に沿ってやや細長い角状または筒状に形成されており、使用者の頭部をソフトに支えられるように弾力性を持ったクッション材などで形成されている。図3に示す本実施形態の枕部材17は、左右方向に垂直な断面の形状が半円形とされており、凭れかかっても痛くないように断面形状のうち円弧状に湾曲した側を前方に向けるようにして、背もたれ部3から突出するようになっている。
Next, the pillow member 17, the advancing means 20, and the pullback means 21 that are the features of the chair type massage machine 1 of the present invention will be described.
The pillow member 17 is formed in a slightly elongated rectangular or cylindrical shape along the left-right direction so as to be able to support the user's head, and has elasticity so that the user's head can be softly supported. It is made of a cushion material. The pillow member 17 of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 3 has a semicircular cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the left-right direction, and the side that is curved in an arc shape in the cross-sectional shape is forward so that it does not hurt even if it is twisted. It projects from the backrest 3 so as to face.
 また、枕部材17の左右方向に沿った長さ(左右方向の幅)は、左右の背部ガイドレール7間の間隔よりも短尺とされている。さらに、枕部材17の左端は左側の背部ガイドレール7よりも内側に位置しており、枕部材17の右端は右側の背部ガイドレール7よりも内側に位置していて、枕部材17は左右の背部ガイドレール7のいずれにも干渉しない位置に設けられている。このような枕部材17を用いれば、左右の背部ガイドレール7間を通って、枕部材17を前後方向に自由に移動(揺動)させることが可能となる。 Further, the length (width in the left-right direction) along the left-right direction of the pillow member 17 is shorter than the distance between the left and right back guide rails 7. Further, the left end of the pillow member 17 is located inside the left back guide rail 7, the right end of the pillow member 17 is located inside the right back guide rail 7, and the pillow member 17 is It is provided at a position where it does not interfere with any of the back guide rails 7. If such a pillow member 17 is used, the pillow member 17 can be freely moved (swinged) in the front-rear direction through the space between the left and right back guide rails 7.
 進出手段20は、枕部材17を背もたれ部3の前方に進出させる手段である。本実施形態の場合であれば、進出手段20は、上述した背部フレーム10に対して枕部材17を左右方向を向く軸回りに揺動自在に支持する揺動アーム22と、背部フレーム10に対して揺動アーム22を付勢することで枕部材17の進出を可能とする付勢部材23と、で構成されている。なお、本実施形態の進出手段20は付勢部材23の付勢力を用いて枕部材17を進出させているが、付勢部材23の付勢力に代えてリニアアクチュエータなどを用いて揺動アーム22を揺動させることで枕部材17を進出させても良い。 The advancing means 20 is a means for advancing the pillow member 17 in front of the backrest 3. In the case of the present embodiment, the advancing means 20 is provided with respect to the back frame 10 and the swing arm 22 that supports the pillow member 17 so as to be swingable about an axis directed in the left-right direction with respect to the back frame 10 described above. And the urging member 23 that enables the pillow member 17 to advance by urging the swing arm 22. In this embodiment, the advancing means 20 advances the pillow member 17 using the urging force of the urging member 23. However, instead of the urging force of the urging member 23, a swing arm 22 is used using a linear actuator or the like. The pillow member 17 may be advanced by swinging.
 具体的には、本実施形態の進出手段20に設けられる揺動アーム22は、枕部材17の左右両側に設けられた細長い棒状の部材であり、背もたれ部3に対して枕部材17を前後方向に揺動自在に支持する構成となっている。つまり、揺動アーム22の基端側は、背部フレーム10の上下方向の中途側よりもやや上側に設けられた枢支軸24に枢支されており、この枢支軸24は支持フレーム8の横桟部材10bに取付部材25を用いて取り付けられており、揺動アーム22は左右方向に軸心を向けた枢支軸24を介して前後方向に揺動自在とされている。 Specifically, the swing arm 22 provided in the advancing means 20 of the present embodiment is an elongated rod-like member provided on both the left and right sides of the pillow member 17, and the pillow member 17 is moved in the front-rear direction with respect to the backrest portion 3. It is the structure supported so that rocking | fluctuation is possible. That is, the base end side of the swing arm 22 is pivotally supported by the pivot shaft 24 provided slightly above the midway side in the vertical direction of the back frame 10, and the pivot shaft 24 is supported by the support frame 8. The swing arm 22 is attached to the crosspiece member 10b using an attachment member 25, and the swing arm 22 is swingable in the front-rear direction via a pivot shaft 24 having an axial center in the left-right direction.
 それぞれの揺動アーム22の先端側は枕部材17の左右両側面に固定されており、揺動アーム22は枕部材17を左右両側で支持可能となっている。そして、揺動アーム22の長手方向の中途側、つまり枢支軸24と枕部材17との間の揺動アーム22は、略S字状に屈曲している。さらに、それぞれの揺動アーム22は、枢支軸24よりもさらに後方に向かって伸びている。この枢支軸24よりも後方の部分は、左側の揺動アーム22と、右側の揺動アーム22とで、異なる構成となっている。 The front end side of each swing arm 22 is fixed to the left and right side surfaces of the pillow member 17, and the swing arm 22 can support the pillow member 17 on both the left and right sides. The swing arm 22 in the longitudinal direction, that is, the swing arm 22 between the pivot shaft 24 and the pillow member 17 is bent in a substantially S shape. Further, each swing arm 22 extends further rearward than the pivot shaft 24. The rear portion of the pivot shaft 24 has a different configuration for the left swing arm 22 and the right swing arm 22.
 つまり、右側の揺動アーム22における枢支軸24よりも後方の部分(後端部)は、背部ガイドレール7のやや後方で幅方向の外側(右側)に向かって折り曲げられており、折れ曲げられた後も右方に向かって伸び、右側の背部ガイドレール7を超えた位置で終端している。一方、左側の揺動アーム22における枢支軸24よりも後方の部分(後端部)は、背部ガイドレール7のやや後方で幅方向の外側(左側)に向かって折り曲げられており、折れ曲がった後も左方に向かって伸び、左側の背部ガイドレール7を超えた位置で複数回に亘って屈曲した後、枢支軸24のやや上方で終端している。そして、この左側の揺動アーム22の終端部に、上述した付勢部材23が取り付けられている。 In other words, the rear portion (rear end portion) of the right swing arm 22 with respect to the pivot shaft 24 is bent slightly rearward of the back guide rail 7 toward the outer side (right side) in the width direction. After being pushed, it extends rightward and terminates at a position beyond the right back guide rail 7. On the other hand, the rear part (rear end part) of the left swing arm 22 from the pivot shaft 24 is bent slightly rearward of the back guide rail 7 toward the outer side (left side) in the width direction and bent. It also extends toward the left and bends a plurality of times at a position beyond the left back guide rail 7 and then ends slightly above the pivot shaft 24. The urging member 23 described above is attached to the end portion of the left swing arm 22.
 付勢部材23は、上述した左側の揺動アーム22の終端部(枢支軸24よりも後方に位置する基端側)に取り付けられて、揺動アーム22を前方に向かって揺動する方向に付勢する部材である。具体的には、本実施形態の椅子型マッサージ機1に設けられる付勢部材23は、左側の揺動アーム22の終端部と、背もたれ部3(背もたれ部3を覆う後側のケーシング)と、の間に配備されたバネで構成されている。このバネ(付勢部材23)は揺動アーム22の終端部を上方に向かって引き上げるように付勢力を発生することで、枢支軸24を挟んで前方に伸びる揺動アーム22の先端側を前方に向かって揺動させる方向に付勢する構成となっている。 The urging member 23 is attached to the terminal portion (the base end side located rearward of the pivot shaft 24) of the left swing arm 22 described above and swings the swing arm 22 forward. It is a member that urges Specifically, the urging member 23 provided in the chair type massage machine 1 of the present embodiment includes a terminal portion of the left swing arm 22, a backrest portion 3 (a rear casing that covers the backrest portion 3), It is composed of springs deployed between. This spring (the biasing member 23) generates a biasing force so as to pull up the end portion of the swing arm 22 upward, so that the distal end side of the swing arm 22 extending forward with the pivot shaft 24 interposed therebetween. It is configured to be biased in the direction of swinging forward.
 つまり、上述した進出手段20では、付勢部材23が揺動アーム22の終端部を上方に向かって引き上げるように付勢力を発生させ、揺動アーム22が枢支軸24の回りを前方に向かって揺動し、揺動アーム22の先端に支持された枕部材17が前方に進出する。
 一方、本実施形態の椅子型マッサージ機1には、進出手段20で前方に進出した枕部材17を、後方に引き戻す引き戻し手段21(退避手段)が設けられている。具体的には、この引き戻し手段21は、背部マッサージ機構6が下方移動した際に、背部マッサージ機構6の背面部に設けられた跳上部材26を、揺動アーム22に設けられた跳上片27に当接させることで、揺動アーム22を前方進出時とは反対方向(後方、言い換えれば、背部内)に向かって押し戻す構成とされている。
That is, in the advancing means 20 described above, the urging member 23 generates an urging force so as to pull up the end portion of the oscillating arm 22 upward, and the oscillating arm 22 is directed forward around the pivot shaft 24. The pillow member 17 supported at the tip of the swing arm 22 advances forward.
On the other hand, the chair type massage machine 1 of the present embodiment is provided with a pull back means 21 (retracting means) for pulling back the pillow member 17 that has advanced forward by the advance means 20 backward. Specifically, when the back massage mechanism 6 moves downward, the pull-back means 21 uses the jumping member 26 provided on the back surface of the back massage mechanism 6 as a jump piece provided on the swing arm 22. 27, the swinging arm 22 is pushed back in the opposite direction (backward, in other words, in the back) from the time of forward advancement.
 具体的には、跳上部材26は、背部マッサージ機構6の右側に取り付けられると共に、背もたれ部3の長手方向に沿って伸びる角棒状の部材である。この跳上部材26は、右側の背部ガイドレール7のやや左側に取り付けられていて、後端面で揺動アーム22の跳上片27に当接する構成となっている。また、跳上片27は、右側の揺動アーム22における枢支軸24のやや前側(枕部材17側)に配備された部材であり、左方(幅方向内側)に向かって突出することで、背部マッサージ機構6の跳上部材26の後端面に当接可能となっている。つまり、この跳上部材26の後端面は、上下方向に沿って切り立った垂直面とされており、上側に向かうにつれて前方に向かって湾曲するようになっていて、後方視でソリ形状となっている。背部マッサージ機構6が上方移動した際には湾曲した後端面に沿って跳上片27を下方に滑らせることができるようになっている。 Specifically, the jumping member 26 is a rectangular bar-like member that is attached to the right side of the back massage mechanism 6 and extends along the longitudinal direction of the backrest 3. The jumping member 26 is attached to the slightly left side of the right back guide rail 7 and is configured to abut on the jumping piece 27 of the swing arm 22 at the rear end face. Further, the jumping piece 27 is a member arranged on the front side (the pillow member 17 side) of the pivot shaft 24 in the right swing arm 22, and protrudes toward the left (in the width direction). The rear end surface of the back massage mechanism 6 can be brought into contact with the rear end surface. That is, the rear end surface of the jumping member 26 is a vertical surface that stands up and down along the vertical direction, and is curved forward as it goes upward, and has a warped shape in rear view. Yes. When the back massage mechanism 6 moves upward, the jumping piece 27 can be slid downward along the curved rear end surface.
 それゆえ、上述した引き戻し手段21では、背部マッサージ機構6を上方移動させると、背部マッサージ機構6の右側に設けられた跳上部材26が右側の揺動アーム22の跳上片27に当接する。背部マッサージ機構6をさらに上方に移動させると、揺動アーム22の跳上片27が湾曲した後端面に沿って上方移動し、跳上片27が跳上部材26と当接する位置が後方にずれて、上方移動する跳上部材26により揺動アーム22が付勢方向とは反対方向(後方、言い換えれば、背部内)に押し戻される。その結果、引き戻し手段21では、進出手段20により前方に進出した枕部材17を、後方に向かって引き戻すことが可能となる。 Therefore, in the above-described pull-back means 21, when the back massage mechanism 6 is moved upward, the jump member 26 provided on the right side of the back massage mechanism 6 contacts the jump piece 27 of the right swing arm 22. When the back massage mechanism 6 is moved further upward, the jumping piece 27 of the swing arm 22 moves upward along the curved rear end surface, and the position where the jumping piece 27 contacts the jumping member 26 is shifted backward. Thus, the swinging arm 22 is pushed back in the direction opposite to the urging direction (backward, in other words, in the back) by the jumping member 26 that moves upward. As a result, the pull-back means 21 can pull back the pillow member 17 advanced forward by the advance means 20 toward the rear.
 なお、前方に進出した枕部材17が、更に揺動し下方に垂れ下がることを防ぎ、その位置にて確実に固定されるために、当該枕部材17を進出位置に位置決めする位置決め手段28を設けても良い。このような位置決め手段28として、図2に2点鎖線で示すように枕部材17と背部フレーム10との間を結ぶベルトなどを採用することができる。このようなベルトを設けることで、枕部材17を進出位置にて確実に位置決めすることができる。 In order to prevent the pillow member 17 that has advanced forward from further swinging and drooping downward, and to be securely fixed at that position, positioning means 28 for positioning the pillow member 17 at the advanced position is provided. Also good. As such positioning means 28, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, a belt or the like that connects the pillow member 17 and the back frame 10 can be employed. By providing such a belt, the pillow member 17 can be reliably positioned at the advanced position.
 また、揺動アーム22が前方に揺動した際に、前方揺動した揺動アーム22と当接する位置に、横桟部材10bに枢支軸24を取り付ける際に用いる取付部材25を設けることもできる。このようにすれば、前方揺動した揺動アーム22が取付部材25に当接して、枕部材17を進出位置に位置決めすることも可能となる。つまり、この場合は、取付部材25が枕部材17を進出位置に位置決めする位置決め手段28として作用することになる。 In addition, when the swing arm 22 swings forward, an attachment member 25 that is used when the pivot shaft 24 is attached to the crosspiece member 10b may be provided at a position where the swing arm 22 swings forward. it can. In this way, the swing arm 22 swinging forward is brought into contact with the mounting member 25, and the pillow member 17 can be positioned at the advanced position. That is, in this case, the attachment member 25 acts as positioning means 28 for positioning the pillow member 17 at the advanced position.
 次に、上述した進出手段20を用いて枕部材17を進出させる動作、及び引き戻し手段21を用いて枕部材17を後方に引き戻す動作を説明する。
 まず、図5に示すように、背部マッサージ機構6が使用者の頭部の後方(背もたれ部3の上方)に位置している場合では、枕部材17は後方(背もたれ部3内)に引き込まれた状態となっている。
Next, an operation of moving the pillow member 17 forward using the above-described advancement means 20 and an operation of pulling back the pillow member 17 backward using the pullback means 21 will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 5, when the back massage mechanism 6 is located behind the user's head (above the backrest 3), the pillow member 17 is pulled back (within the backrest 3). It is in the state.
 すなわち、図5に示す背部マッサージ機構6では、跳上部材26の後端面の下側に、右側の揺動アーム22の跳上片27が当接しており、揺動アーム22は枢支軸24を中心として後方に大きく引き戻された姿勢となっている。また、上述した揺動アーム22は、枢支軸24から上方に向かって上下方向に伸びるように配備されており、枢支軸24のほぼ上方に枕部材17が位置するようになっている。つまり、この図5の枕部材17は背部ガイドレール7よりも後方に位置している。このように枕部材17を背部ガイドレール7よりも後方に位置させれば、枕部材17が背部マッサージ機構6の上下移動の邪魔となることがなく、背部マッサージ機構6をスムーズに上下移動させることが可能となる。 That is, in the back massage mechanism 6 shown in FIG. 5, the jump piece 27 of the right swing arm 22 is in contact with the lower side of the rear end surface of the jump member 26, and the swing arm 22 is supported by the pivot shaft 24. It is a posture that is largely pulled backwards around the center. The swing arm 22 described above is arranged so as to extend upward and downward from the pivot shaft 24, and the pillow member 17 is positioned substantially above the pivot shaft 24. That is, the pillow member 17 in FIG. 5 is located behind the back guide rail 7. If the pillow member 17 is positioned rearward of the back guide rail 7 in this way, the pillow member 17 does not interfere with the vertical movement of the back massage mechanism 6 and the back massage mechanism 6 can be smoothly moved up and down. Is possible.
 図5に示す背部マッサージ機構6を背部ガイドレール7に沿って下方移動させると(使用者の頭部から離れた位置に背部マッサージ機構6を移行させると)、跳上片27と跳上部材26の後端面とが摺動状態を保ちつつ、跳上部材26が下方へ下がってゆくことになる。やがて跳上部材26の上側に形成された湾曲した後端面(湾曲面)に跳上片27が位置するようになる。そうすると、図4に示すように、跳上部材26の後端面に対する跳上片27の接触位置が前方に移行し、上述した揺動アーム22が枢支軸24を中心にやや前方に向かって揺動するようになる。 When the back massage mechanism 6 shown in FIG. 5 is moved downward along the back guide rail 7 (when the back massage mechanism 6 is moved to a position away from the user's head), the jumping piece 27 and the jumping member 26 are moved. The jumping member 26 is lowered downward while maintaining a sliding state with the rear end surface. Eventually, the jump piece 27 is positioned on the curved rear end surface (curved surface) formed on the upper side of the jump member 26. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the contact position of the jumping piece 27 with respect to the rear end surface of the jumping member 26 shifts to the front, and the swing arm 22 described above swings slightly forward about the pivot shaft 24. To move.
 すなわち、図4に示す背部マッサージ機構6では、跳上部材26が下方に移動することに連動し、揺動アーム22は前方に揺動されたものとなる。それゆえ、進出手段20の付勢部材23により、揺動アーム22の先端側が枢支軸24回りに前方に揺動し、枕部材17が図5に示す位置よりも前方に進出する。
 やがて、背部マッサージ機構6を背部ガイドレール7に沿ってさらに下方移動させると、跳上片27よりも跳上部材26の上端縁が下方へに移動し、跳上部材26の後端面に対して跳上片27が接触しないようになる。
That is, in the back massage mechanism 6 shown in FIG. 4, the swing arm 22 is swung forward in conjunction with the downward movement of the jumping member 26. Therefore, the urging member 23 of the advancement means 20 causes the tip end side of the swing arm 22 to swing forward around the pivot shaft 24, and the pillow member 17 advances forward from the position shown in FIG.
Eventually, when the back massage mechanism 6 is further moved downward along the back guide rail 7, the upper end edge of the jumping member 26 moves downward relative to the jumping piece 27, and with respect to the rear end surface of the jumping member 26. The jumping piece 27 is prevented from contacting.
 そうすると、図3に示すように、揺動アーム22が枢支軸24の回りを前方に向かってさらに揺動し、揺動アーム22の先端に支持された枕部材17が枢支軸24の前方まで進出するようになる。
 なお、上述した図5から図3までの動作は枕部材17を進出させる際のものであったが、枕部材17を後方に引き戻す際には進出時とは逆の手順(図3→図4→図5)を行うことにより、前方に進出した枕部材17を後方に引き戻すことができる。
Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the swing arm 22 further swings forward around the pivot shaft 24, and the pillow member 17 supported at the tip of the swing arm 22 moves forward of the pivot shaft 24. To advance to.
The above-described operations from FIG. 5 to FIG. 3 were for moving the pillow member 17 forward, but when pulling the pillow member 17 backward, the procedure reverse to that for the forward movement (FIG. 3 → FIG. 4) was performed. → By performing FIG. 5, it is possible to pull back the pillow member 17 that has advanced forward.
 上述した本実施形態の椅子型マッサージ機1では、昇降機構18を用いて背部マッサージ機構6を頭部から下方に離れた位置に移動させた場合であっても、背部マッサージ機構6が移動した後の位置に枕部材17を進出させて、枕部材17で使用者の頭部を支持することができる。それゆえ、本実施形態の椅子型マッサージ機1では、背部マッサージ機構6で使用者の頭部を支持できなくなった場合であっても、頭部を安定した姿勢で支持し続けることができる。 In the chair type massage machine 1 of this embodiment mentioned above, even if it is a case where the back massage mechanism 6 is moved to the position away from the head downward using the lifting mechanism 18, the back massage mechanism 6 is moved. The pillow member 17 can be advanced to the position and the user's head can be supported by the pillow member 17. Therefore, in the chair type massage machine 1 of the present embodiment, even when the back massage mechanism 6 cannot support the user's head, the head can be supported in a stable posture.
