 下方マッサージ部26は、座部21(仕切り板)から上方に突出して設けられていて、マッサージ部材6の縁部に取り付けられた下部アーム部材36と、その下部アーム部材36の先端に設けられている下部施療子37(第2施療子)と、を有している点が同じである。この下部アーム部材36は、内側マッサージ部材6aの水平マッサージ部材10aに取り付けられている点も同じである。下部アーム部材36aと、下部アーム部材36bが、前後に備えられている点が同じである。すなわち、下部施療子37aと、下部施療子37bが、前後に備えられている点も同じである。 The lower massage portion 26 is provided so as to project upward from the seat portion 21 (partition plate), and is provided at the lower arm member 36 attached to the edge of the massage member 6 and the tip of the lower arm member 36. It is the same as having the lower treatment child 37 (second treatment child). The point that the lower arm member 36 is attached to the horizontal massage member 10a of the inner massage member 6a is also the same. The point that the lower arm member 36a and the lower arm member 36b are provided in the front and rear is the same. That is, it is the same that the lower treatment child 37a and the lower treatment child 37b are provided in the front and back.
 また、座部マッサージエリアは、背もたれ部22(仕切り板)の前部に形成されていて、第2施療子(後部施療子29、側部施療子35、下部施療子37)を備えている点も同じである。
しかしながら、第2実施形態では、下肢マッサージエリアの開口(挿入凹部4)の構成が、第1実施形態と大きく異なるものとなっている。すなわち、下肢マッサージエリアの開口(挿入凹部4)が、使用者の下肢Lが前方から挿入可能となるように、前方に開放状に形成されている点が大きく異なっている。
Further, the seat massage area is formed in the front part of the backrest portion 22 (partition plate) and includes a second treatment child (rear treatment child 29, side treatment child 35, lower treatment child 37). Is the same.
However, in the second embodiment, the configuration of the opening (insertion recess 4) of the lower limb massage area is significantly different from that of the first embodiment. That is, the difference is that the opening (insertion recess 4) of the lower limb massage area is formed in an open shape in the front so that the lower limb L of the user can be inserted from the front.
 詳しくは、本実施形態の挿入凹部4(開口)は、ケース体2の前面に形成されていて、前方及び上方へ向けて開放状に形成されている。この挿入凹部4は、上下方向に長い開口となっている。一対の挿入凹部4)は、ケース体2の前側に、左右に離れて並設されている。挿入凹部4の内部には、内張材(図示せず)が設けられている。これら左右一対の挿入凹部4に、左右の下肢L(ふくらはぎC~足部F)を前方から嵌め入れることができるようになっている。 Specifically, the insertion recess 4 (opening) of the present embodiment is formed on the front surface of the case body 2 and is formed in an open shape toward the front and the upper side. The insertion recess 4 has a long opening in the vertical direction. The pair of insertion recesses 4) are arranged side by side on the front side of the case body 2 apart from each other on the left and right sides. A lining material (not shown) is provided inside the insertion recess 4. The left and right lower limbs L (calf C to foot F) can be fitted into the pair of left and right insertion recesses 4 from the front.
 また、第2実施形態では、側面視において、回転軸7の配置が、第1実施形態と大きく異なるものとなっている。
 図11に示すように、回転軸7は、側面視で、下肢マッサージエリア(ケース体2の後壁面の前方)より後方に配備されている。すなわち、回転軸7より前方が下肢マッサージエリアとされ、下肢マッサージエリアよりさらに前方が、座部マッサージエリアとされている。
Further, in the second embodiment, the arrangement of the rotating shaft 7 is significantly different from that of the first embodiment in the side view.
As shown in FIG. 11, the rotation axis 7 is arranged behind the lower limb massage area (front of the rear wall surface of the case body 2) in a lateral view. That is, the area in front of the rotation axis 7 is the lower limb massage area, and the area further in front of the lower limb massage area is the seat massage area.
 また、第2実施形態では、後部アーム部材28と下部アーム部材36の取り付け方法が、第1実施形態と大きく異なっている。すなわち、後部アーム部材28は、垂直マッサージ部材11a(内側マッサージ部材6a)に固定状態で取り付けられている。下部アーム部材36は、水平マッサージ部材10aに固定状態で取り付けられている。
 しかしながら、本実施形態の後部アーム部材28と下部アーム部材36は、第1実施形態のバネ部材33、41などの代わりに、所定の負荷がかかると、少し曲がる弾性部材で形成されている。また同様に、後部施療子29と下部施療子37も、少し曲がる弾性部材で形成されている。
[作動態様]
 以下に、本発明のマッサージ機1の作動態様について、説明する。
Further, in the second embodiment, the method of attaching the rear arm member 28 and the lower arm member 36 is significantly different from that of the first embodiment. That is, the rear arm member 28 is attached to the vertical massage member 11a (inner massage member 6a) in a fixed state. The lower arm member 36 is attached to the horizontal massage member 10a in a fixed state.
However, the rear arm member 28 and the lower arm member 36 of the present embodiment are formed of elastic members that bend slightly when a predetermined load is applied, instead of the spring members 33, 41 and the like of the first embodiment. Similarly, the rear treatment child 29 and the lower treatment child 37 are also formed of elastic members that bend slightly.
[Operating mode]
The operation mode of the massage machine 1 of the present invention will be described below.
 まず、下肢マッサージ機構3の作動態様について、説明する。
 使用者は、一般的な椅子などに着座し、その椅子の前の載置したマッサージ機1の挿入凹部4(下肢マッサージエリアの開口)に下肢L(第1施療部)を挿入する。
 第1実施形態のマッサージ機1の場合、使用者は下肢Lを後方から挿入凹部4に挿入する。また、第2実施形態のマッサージ機1の場合、使用者は下肢Lを前方から挿入凹部4に挿入する。
First, the operation mode of the lower limb massage mechanism 3 will be described.
The user sits on a general chair or the like, and inserts the lower limb L (first treatment unit) into the insertion recess 4 (opening of the lower limb massage area) of the massage machine 1 placed in front of the chair.
In the case of the massage machine 1 of the first embodiment, the user inserts the lower limb L into the insertion recess 4 from behind. Further, in the case of the massage machine 1 of the second embodiment, the user inserts the lower limb L into the insertion recess 4 from the front.
 ここで、使用者がマッサージ機1の電源をONにすると、下肢マッサージ機構3が起動する。マッサージ駆動部8の駆動モータ14が、回転駆動軸14aを介して回転駆動力をギアケース15に出力する。回転駆動力がギアケース15に入力されると、複数のギア15aにより所定の速度に減速され、回転軸7に伝達される。
 回転軸7が回転すると、変換部9は回転駆動力をマッサージ部材6(第1施療子)の揺動運動(水平マッサージ部材10及び垂直マッサージ部材11の近接離反動作)に変換する。回転軸7の回転によって、一対の水平マッサージ部材10a,10bの前端が互いに近接し、足先T(つま先)を側方から押し込むように挟み込む。このとき、水平マッサージ部材10a,10bの長手方向中途部と後端は離反した状態にある。つまり、かかとH側は押し込みがない状況である。
Here, when the user turns on the power of the massage machine 1, the lower limb massage mechanism 3 is activated. The drive motor 14 of the massage drive unit 8 outputs the rotational drive force to the gear case 15 via the rotary drive shaft 14a. When the rotational driving force is input to the gear case 15, it is decelerated to a predetermined speed by the plurality of gears 15a and transmitted to the rotary shaft 7.
When the rotation shaft 7 rotates, the conversion unit 9 converts the rotational driving force into a swinging motion of the massage member 6 (first treatment element) (close separation motion of the horizontal massage member 10 and the vertical massage member 11). Due to the rotation of the rotation shaft 7, the front ends of the pair of horizontal massage members 10a and 10b come close to each other, and the toes T (toes) are sandwiched so as to be pushed from the side. At this time, the middle portion and the rear end in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal massage members 10a and 10b are in a separated state. That is, the heel H side is in a situation where there is no push.
 一方、一対の垂直マッサージ部材11a,11bの上端は少し離れた状態である。つまり、一対の垂直マッサージ部材11a,11bは、ふくらはぎCを側方から挟み込む手前の状態である。
 続いて、一対の水平マッサージ部材10a,10bの長手方向中途部が互いに近接し、足の甲あたりを側方から押し込むように挟み込む。このとき、水平マッサージ部材10a,10bの先端は離反してゆくと共に、後端が近接してゆく。つまり、かかとH側が押し込まれてゆく状況となる。一方、一対の垂直マッサージ部材11a,11bの上端が互いに近接し、ふくらはぎCを側方から押し込むように挟み込む。
On the other hand, the upper ends of the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b are slightly separated from each other. That is, the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b are in a state before the calf C is sandwiched from the side.
Subsequently, the middle portions of the pair of horizontal massage members 10a and 10b in the longitudinal direction are close to each other, and the instep of the foot is sandwiched so as to be pushed from the side. At this time, the tips of the horizontal massage members 10a and 10b are separated from each other, and the rear ends are brought closer to each other. That is, the heel H side is pushed in. On the other hand, the upper ends of the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b are close to each other, and the calf C is sandwiched so as to be pushed in from the side.
 さらに続いて、一対の水平マッサージ部材10a,10bの後端が互いに近接し、かかとH側を側方から押し込むように挟み込む。このとき、水平マッサージ部材10a,10bの長手方向中途部は離反してゆき、先端は離反した状態にある。一方、一対の垂直マッサージ部材11a,11bの上端がさらに近接し、ふくらはぎCを側方から、さらに押し込むように挟み込む。 Further, the rear ends of the pair of horizontal massage members 10a and 10b are close to each other, and the heel H side is sandwiched so as to be pushed from the side. At this time, the middle portions of the horizontal massage members 10a and 10b in the longitudinal direction are separated from each other, and the tips are separated from each other. On the other hand, the upper ends of the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b are closer to each other, and the calf C is sandwiched from the side so as to be further pushed.
 なお、第2実施形態のマッサージ機1の場合、回転軸7が回転すると、回転マッサージ部材42がふくらはぎCの後側に対して、マッサージ動作を付与する。
 以上、一対の水平マッサージ部材10a,10b(第1施療子)の近接離反動作により、足先T(つま先)~足の甲~かかとHの順に連続して、足部F(第1施療部)を押し込むように挟み込むと共に、一対の垂直マッサージ部材11a,11b(第1施療子)の近接離反動作により、ふくらはぎC(第1施療部)を下方から上方に向かって押し込むように挟み込むことを繰り返すことで、血流を下肢Lの上方(足部F(足先T)から、ふくらはぎCの上部)へと押し上げることができる。つまり、本発明のマッサージ機1は、下肢Lの血行を促進させる効果的なマッサージ感を付与することができる。
In the case of the massage machine 1 of the second embodiment, when the rotation shaft 7 rotates, the rotation massage member 42 imparts a massage operation to the rear side of the calf C.
As described above, due to the close separation operation of the pair of horizontal massage members 10a and 10b (first treatment unit), the foot portion F (first treatment unit) is continuously arranged in the order of the toe T (toe), the instep, and the heel H. The calf C (first treatment section) is repeatedly pushed in from the bottom to the top by the proximity separation operation of the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b (first treatment child). Then, the blood flow can be pushed up to the upper part of the lower limb L (from the foot part F (toe T) to the upper part of the calf C). That is, the massage machine 1 of the present invention can impart an effective massage feeling that promotes blood circulation in the lower limbs L.
 次いで、座部マッサージ機構23の作動態様について、説明する。
 使用者は、座部マッサージエリアの座部21に着座し、上体を傾斜させて背もたれ部22に凭れ掛かる。ここで、使用者がマッサージ機1の電源をONにすると、座部マッサージ機構23が起動する。マッサージ駆動部8の駆動モータ14が、回転駆動軸14aを介して回転駆動力をギアケース15に出力する。回転駆動力がギアケース15に入力されると、複数のギア15aにより所定の速度に減速され、回転軸7に伝達される。
Next, the operation mode of the seat massage mechanism 23 will be described.

Here, when the user turns on the power of the massage machine 1, the seat massage mechanism 23 is activated. The drive motor 14 of the massage drive unit 8 outputs the rotational drive force to the gear case 15 via the rotary drive shaft 14a. When the rotational driving force is input to the gear case 15, it is decelerated to a predetermined speed by the plurality of gears 15a and transmitted to the rotary shaft 7.
 回転軸7が回転すると、変換部9は回転駆動力をマッサージ部材6の揺動運動(水平マッサージ部材10及び垂直マッサージ部材11の近接離反動作)に変換する。回転軸7の回転によって、一対の垂直マッサージ部材11a,11bは、前端が互いに近接する。
 このとき、内側の垂直マッサージ部材11a(内側マッサージ部材6a)に取り付けられた後方マッサージ部24(後部アーム部材28)は、略水平方向に揺動する。つまり、左側の後部アーム部材28と、右側の後部アーム部材28は、左右方向外側に揺動する。
When the rotation shaft 7 rotates, the conversion unit 9 converts the rotational driving force into a swinging motion of the massage member 6 (close separation motion of the horizontal massage member 10 and the vertical massage member 11). Due to the rotation of the rotation shaft 7, the front ends of the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b are close to each other.
At this time, the rear massage portion 24 (rear arm member 28) attached to the inner vertical massage member 11a (inner massage member 6a) swings in a substantially horizontal direction. That is, the left rear arm member 28 and the right rear arm member 28 swing outward in the left-right direction.
 左側の後部施療子29(第2施療子)と、右側の後部施療子29(第2施療子)は、離反する。
 一方、外側の垂直マッサージ部材11b(外側マッサージ部材6b)に取り付けられた側方マッサージ部25(側部アーム部材34)は、略水平方向に揺動する。つまり、左側の側部アーム部材34と、右側の側部アーム部材34は、左右方向内側に揺動する。左側の側部施療子35(第2施療子)と、右側の側部施療子35(第2施療子)は、近接する。

That is, the left side arm member 34 and the right side arm member 34 swing inward in the left-right direction. The left side treatment child 35 (second treatment child) and the right side treatment child 35 (second treatment child) are close to each other.
 また、回転軸7の回転によって、一対の水平マッサージ部材10a,10bの前端が互いに近接するとき、内側の水平マッサージ部材10a(内側マッサージ部材6a)に取り付けられた下方マッサージ部26(下部アーム部材36a,36b)は、略水平方向に揺動する。つまり、左側の下部アーム部材36a,36bと、右側の下部アーム部材36a,36bは、左右方向外側に揺動する。左側の下部施療子37a,37b(第2施療子)と、右側の下部施療子37a,37b(第2施療子)は、離反する。 Further, when the front ends of the pair of horizontal massage members 10a and 10b are close to each other due to the rotation of the rotation shaft 7, the lower massage portion 26 (lower arm member 36a) attached to the inner horizontal massage member 10a (inner massage member 6a) is attached. , 36b) swing in a substantially horizontal direction. That is, the lower arm members 36a and 36b on the left side and the lower arm members 36a and 36b on the right side swing outward in the left-right direction. The lower treatments 37a and 37b (second treatment child) on the left side and the lower treatment children 37a and 37b (second treatment child) on the right side are separated from each other.
 続いて、一対の垂直マッサージ部材11a,11bの前端が離反すると、左側の後部アーム部材28と、右側の後部アーム部材28は、左右方向内側に揺動する。左側の後部施療子29と、右側の後部施療子29は、近接する。一方、左側の側部アーム部材34と、右側の側部アーム部材34は、左右方向外側に揺動する。左側の側部施療子35と、右側の側部施療子35は、離反する。 Subsequently, when the front ends of the pair of vertical massage members 11a and 11b are separated from each other, the left rear arm member 28 and the right rear arm member 28 swing inward in the left-right direction. The rear treatment child 29 on the left side and the rear treatment child 29 on the right side are in close proximity to each other. On the other hand, the left side arm member 34 and the right side arm member 34 swing outward in the left-right direction. The left side treatment child 35 and the right side treatment child 35 are separated from each other.
 また、一対の水平マッサージ部材10a,10bの前端が離反すると、左側の下部アーム部材36a,36bと、右側の下部アーム部材36a,36bは、左右方向内側に揺動する。左側の下部施療子37a,37bと、右側の下部施療子37a,37bは、近接する。
 以上、一対の垂直マッサージ部材11a,11bの近接離反動作により、後部施療子29(第2施療子)が使用者の背部Bや腰部Wなど(第2施療部)に対して、後方から前方に向かって指圧するように、押しながら擦るマッサージを行うと共に、側部施療子35(第2施療子)が使用者の腰横部S(第2施療部)に対して、外側から内側に向かって押し込む「押込マッサージ」を行い、さらに、一対の水平マッサージ部材10a,10bの近接離反動作により、下部施療子37a,37b(第2施療子)が使用者の臀部A(第2施療部)などに対して、下方から上方に向かって指圧するように、押しながら擦るマッサージを行うことを繰り返すことで、背部Bや腰横部Sや臀部Aなどに対して、筋肉などを解して、上体等の凝りの解消や血行を促進させるといった効果的なマッサージ感を付与することができる。
Further, when the front ends of the pair of horizontal massage members 10a and 10b are separated from each other, the lower arm members 36a and 36b on the left side and the lower arm members 36a and 36b on the right side swing inward in the left-right direction. The lower treatments 37a and 37b on the left side and the lower treatments 37a and 37b on the right side are close to each other.
