【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、弱クッション性と弱硬度性を有して、横長立方体状に形成された緩衝材の外周面をクッション材で密着被覆し、且つクッション材の外周全面を袋状の外カバーで被覆する一方、前記緩衝材およびクッション材の中央部左右に、４個の叩打振動発生手段をそれぞれ２個ずつ１組として左右対称に装置する横長方形状の凹部を間隔を有して設け、前記叩打振動発生手段は、強度性と可撓性を有する２本の固定ベルト間に間隔を有して固定され、前記緩衝材の長手方向両側位置に、前記各凹部に連なって両側部が上方向にやや傾斜した傾斜部を有して横設した横長溝内に、前記各固定ベルトの各外側部を圧入固定して、前記各組の叩打振動発生手段のうち、外側に位置する各叩打振動発生手段を、それぞれ内方側へやや傾斜した状態に配設し、更に、前記叩打振動発生手段を、個別に、制御装置によりメモリーに記録された一定のパターンに従った作動をするよう制御する叩打振動マッサージ器であって、

【０００６】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて詳細に説明すると、図１は、外カバー１を切欠いて示す全体の平面図である。すなわち、本発明叩打振動マッサージ器は、全体が横長の方形状をしており、ウレタンフォーム等のクッション材を圧縮して、弱クッション性と弱硬度性を保有するよう加工して、厚みを有して横長立方体状に形成された緩衝材２の外周面を、比較的軟らかいウレタンフォーム等により充分なクッション性を有するよう形成されたクッション材３で密着被覆すると共に、前記緩衝材２に叩打振動発生手段４を装着固定し、更に該クッション材３の外周全面を袋状の外カバー１で被覆して形成されている。
【０００７】
そして、前記緩衝材２の上面側は、人体の腰部あるいは首部等の被マッサージ面に密着できるよう中央部に窪んだ弧状の窪み部５が設けてあり、更に、前記密着被覆されたクッション材３および緩衝材２の中央部左右に、４個の叩打振動発生手段４をそれぞれ２個ずつ１組として、２組の叩打振動発生手段４をそれぞれ左右対称に配設する横長方形状の凹部６が、間隔を有して左右対称に２個設けられている。
【０００８】
前記各叩打振動発生手段４は、金属製のブラケット７に固定され、コイル８が巻回されているソレノイド９と、該ソレノイド９の中央に貫通された貫通孔１０の上方部に挿入固定された固定鉄部１１と、前記コイル８への電源投入により、前記コイル８に発生する磁気力で、前記貫通孔１０内を上下移動する移動鉄部１２と、該移動鉄部１２の上端に突設され、該移動鉄部１２が上下移動するとき、身体の被マッサージ面を叩打してマッサージするマッサージ部１３とにより構成されている。
【０００９】
前記ソレノイド９は、中央に貫通孔１０を備え、且つ上下端に鍔部１４をそれぞれ突設して、該各鍔部１４間にコイル８を巻回する巻回部１５を設けて形成されている。
【００１０】
そして、前記固定鉄部１１は、前記ソレノイド９の貫通孔１０の上方部から、中央に貫通孔１６を穿設した短い円筒状の固定鉄１７を装入すると共に、該固定鉄１７の上端面に、前記貫通孔１６と連通するほぼ同一径の透孔１８を穿設した横長方形状の金属製の座板１９を固定し、更に、前記固定鉄１７の下面に円錐形状凹部２０を設けて形成されている。
【００１１】
一方、前記貫通孔１０に下方部が上下移動可能に嵌挿されると共に、前記固定鉄１７の貫通孔１６を貫通し、更に上方部が前記座板１９より上方へ突出する移動鉄部１２は、前記ソレノイド９の貫通孔１０よりやや小径に形成された大径部２１と、該大径部２１の上方に前記固定鉄１７の貫通孔１６および座板１９の透孔１８よりやや小径に形成された小径部２２を連結固定すると共に、下端部に前記ソレノイド９の下部の鍔部１４よりやや小径の円板２３を突設し、更に前記大径部２１と小径部２２の連結部を前記固定鉄１７の円錐形状凹部２０に当接できるような円錐形状斜面部２４を設けて形成されている。
【００１２】
更に、金属製のブラケット７は、底板２５の両側端上に、前記ソレノイド９を挿入することができる間隔を有して立設された両側板２６の各上端縁に、それぞれ外方へ直角に折曲した折曲片２７を突設すると共に、前記底板２５の中央に前記ソレノイド９の貫通孔１０とほぼ同一径の透孔２８を穿設して形成されている。
【００１３】
前記ブラケット７の底板２５には、前記大径部２１とほぼ同一径の透孔２９を中央に穿設し、且つ下面外周部に複数個の小突起３０を、間隔を有して環状に突設し、更に前記透孔２９上面に移動鉄部１２の大径部２１を貫挿するガイド筒３１を突設して形成された下部クッションゴム板３２が固定されている。なお、前記下部クッションゴム板３２は、特に限定する必要はないが、好ましくは図４に示すように、両側面に前記底板２５を両側より挟持するよう挟持片３３を突設すると共に、一方の挟持片３３に前記ガイド筒３１を連結固定することが推奨される。
【００１４】
そして、前記下部クッションゴム板３２を固定したブラケット７の底板２５上に、前記ソレノイド９を載置すると共に、前記下部クッションゴム板３２のガイド筒３１をソレノイド９の貫通孔１０に装入して、該下部クッションゴム板３２の上面部をブラケット７の底板２５の下面に当接固定し、更に前記下部クッションゴム板３２の透孔２９より前記移動鉄部１２の小径部２２から挿入して、該移動鉄部１２の大径部２１をガイド筒３１に貫挿すると共に、小径部２２を固定鉄１７の貫通孔１６、座板１９の透孔１８を貫通して上方へ突出する。
【００１５】
前記座板１９上には、該座板１９の透孔１８とほぼ同一径の透孔３４を中央に穿設し、且つ上面外周部に複数個の小突起３５を、間隔を有して環状に突設した上部クッションゴム板３６が固定され、更に、前記移動鉄部１２の小径部２２は、前記上部クッションゴム板３６の透孔３４を貫通して上方へ延設されている。なお、前記上部クッションゴム板３６は、特に限定する必要はないが、好ましくは図４に示すように、両側面に前記座板１９を両側より挟持するよう挟持片３７を突設することが推奨される。
【００１６】
また、前記マッサージ部１３は、前記移動鉄部１２を構成する小径部２２の上端部に固定され、上面が湾曲して突出した取付部材３８の上面に、人体の被マッサージ面を叩打してマッサージ効果を大ならしめるために、ゴム等の弾性板により形成されたマッサージ片３９が載置固定されると共に、前記座板１９上の上部クッションゴム板３６と取付部材３８間には、前記小径部２２を貫通して押しばね４０が弾発配置されて形成されている。
【００１７】
前記ソレノイド９を装置したブラケット７の両折曲板２７上に、前記座板１９を載置して、ビス等で該座板１９を前記両折曲板２７と一体に固定することにより、叩打振動発生手段４が形成されるのである。
【００１８】
前記のように、ソレノイド９が金属製のブラケット７および座板１９に保持されているので、コイル８に特定極性の直流電流が流れると、前記ブラケット７および座板１９による閉鎖回路が形成されて、該コイル８および固定鉄１７を通じて貫通孔１０に磁力線が収束し、該磁力線と移動鉄部１２との間の電磁誘導作用により移動鉄部１２に電磁力が発生し、移動鉄部１２は上方移動するよう構成されている。
【００１９】
前記構成より成る４個の叩打振動発生手段４は、前記クッション材３および緩衝材２の上方中央部に間隔を有して設けられた凹部６に、それぞれ２個を１組として、２組が配設される。
【００２０】
すなわち、前記構成より成る叩打振動発生手段４は、前記ブラケット７の両側板２６の間隔とほぼ同一の間隔を有して配置された、強度性を有するが、ある程度の可撓性を有する合成樹脂製の２本の固定ベルト４１上に、前記凹部６に装置できるような間隔を有して、前記４個の叩打振動発生手段４のブラケット７の両折曲片２７をそれぞれ載置して、ボルト４２等により一体に固定する。
【００２１】
前記４個の叩打振動発生手段４は、２個が１組となって、それぞれ２個の凹部６内に所定間隔を有して配設されるが、各凹部６内において、外側に位置する叩打振動発生手段４が、やや内側へ傾斜するよう配設すると共に、前記各叩打振動発生手段４の各マッサージ部１３が、前記クッション材３よりやや上方へ突出するようにして、前記緩衝材２内に配設固定される。
【００２２】
そして、前記位置に４個の叩打振動発生手段４を配設固定するため、前記緩衝材２の凹部６の長手方向両側位置には、該凹部６に連なって、両側部が上方向にやや傾斜した傾斜部４３ａを有して横設した横長溝４３が形成されており、前記両側の横長溝４３内に前記４個の叩打振動発生手段４を固定した各固定ベルト４１の各外側部を圧入して接着材により固定して、前記各叩打振動発生手段４を各凹部６内の所定位置に配設固定する。前記横長溝４３の両側部は上方向にやや傾斜した傾斜部４３ａを有して形成されているので、前記左右各組の各両側部に位置する叩打振動発生手段４は、それぞれ内方側へやや傾斜した状態で固定されることになる。
【００２３】
前記緩衝材２には、更に前記叩打振動発生手段４を制御する制御装置４４を収納する収納凹部４５が設けられており、前記制御装置４４から、各叩打振動発生手段４に電源を供給するコード４６が各コイル８へ連結されている。
【００２４】
また、前記制御装置４４に通電する電源をON・OFFする押しボタンスイッチ４７を先端に固定したスイッチ用コード４８が、前記緩衝材２を貫通してクッション材３外へ延長されている。前記押しボタンスイッチ４７は外カバー１外へ突出することなく、外カバー１に突出して設けられた小袋４９内に収納され、該小袋４９をつかんで押圧することにより、前記押しボタンスイッチ４７をON・OFFできるように形成され、該押しボタンスイッチ４７が目に触れないようにしてマッサージ器全体の美観を損なうことがないよう考慮されている。
【００２５】
前記制御装置４４は、前記各叩打振動発生手段４と接続されて、該各叩打振動発生手段４の作動を制御するものである。前記制御装置４４は、叩打振動発生手段４を構成するマッサージ部１３を一定の時間内で、且つ一定のパターンに従って叩打振動させるための制御を行う機能を有する。すなわち、前記制御装置４４は、前記マッサージ部１３の叩打振動動作として、強弱、遅速およびこれらの組合せ並びにこれらの連続変化動作を行うパターンを基本パターンとして有し、これら基本パターンを一定時間ごとに、一定の規則に従って切換えるための組合せを予めメモリーに記録させて、前記各マッサージ部１３毎に制御可能とすることを特徴としている。
【００２６】
前記構成より成る本発明叩打振動マッサージ器の作用について説明する。先ず、外カバー１より突設された小袋４９をつかんで押しボタンスイッチ４７を押圧して、該押しボタンスイッチ４７をONする。これにより制御装置４４の指令信号を受けて、予め記録されたメモリーに従い、各叩打振動発生手段４が作動する。
【００２７】
前記叩打振動発生手段４は、前記制御装置４４よりの指令信号を受けて、予め記録されたメモリーに従い、ソレノイド９のコイル８への電力の供給・停止を繰り返すと共に、該供給電力の電圧をも適宜強・弱として電力を供給することにより、該コイル８に特定極性の直流電流が流れると、前記ブラケット７および座板１９による閉鎖回路が形成され、前記コイル８および固定鉄１７を通じて貫通孔１０に磁力線が収束し、該磁力線と移動鉄部１２との間の電磁誘導作用により移動鉄部１２に電磁力が発生し、移動鉄部１２は上方移動する。
【００２８】
前記移動鉄部１２の上方移動に伴ない、該移動鉄部１２の下端の円板２３が下部クッションゴム板３２の各小突起３０を縮重すると共に、押しばね４０により下方移動を規制されている前記マッサージ部１３を、更に前記各小突起３０が縮重した長さ分だけわずかに上方へ移動させる。この時点で、コイル８への電流が遮断されると、前記下部クッションゴム板３２の各小突起３０が弾発して、円板２３を下方へ強く押圧することにより、移動鉄部１２は下方移動すると共に、前記マッサージ部１３も下方移動するが、該マッサージ部１３は、前記押しばね４０の弾発力により、大幅な下方移動を阻止されて、わずかに下方移動して停止する。なお、上部クッションゴム板３６の各小突起３５は、移動鉄部１２が下降移動し過ぎたとき、取付部材３８に当接するクッション部材となる。また、移動鉄部１２が上昇移動し過ぎたときは、固定鉄１７の円錐形状凹部２０に前記移動鉄部１２の円錐形状斜面部２４が当接して、それ以上の上昇移動を阻止する。
【００２９】
前記コイル８への電流のON・OFFを繰返すことにより、マッサージ部１３は上下移動を繰返して、マッサージ片３９による人体への叩打運動を繰返して人体をマッサージする。この際、前記押しばね４０は、移動鉄部１２の下方移動量を少なくして、人体への衝撃を和らげる作用をする。もし、該押しばね４０が存在しないと人体へかなり強い打撃を与えるので、前記押しばね４０は必要な部材である。
【００３０】
前記コイル８への電力の供給・停止を繰返すことにより、前記各マッサージ部１３は叩打運動を繰返して、人体に叩打マッサージ効果を与えると共に、各叩打振動発生手段４を固定している各固定ベルト４１が、前記各叩打振動発生手段４の叩打運動に基づいて生成された振動の伝播路となり、緩衝材２に振動として伝播されて、人体に振動マッサージ効果をも与えることができる。
【００３１】
そして、制御装置４４により、前記コイル８に流す電流の強さや周期を変えることにより、移動鉄部１２と一体化しているマッサージ部１３は、前記電流の強さや周期に応じた叩打振動を発生する。このため、制御装置４４からメモリーに記録された一定のパターンの電流をコイル８に流すことにより、前記マッサージ部１３はそのパターンに従った作動をして、マッサージ効果を発揮する。また、前記各マッサージ部１３は個別に制御可能であるので、４個のマッサージ部１３を、例えば中央から両側方向、または両側方向から中央へと強弱を加えて一定のリズムに合うよう作動させることもできる。
【００３２】
４個の叩打振動発生手段４のうち２個を１組として、２組の叩打振動発生手段４がそれぞれ左右対称に配設され、且つ該叩打振動手段４を構成する４個のマッサージ部１３がそれぞれ同時に、または１個ずつ、更には強弱をもたせて人体を叩打すると共に、前記叩打振動発生手段４により生成された振動をベルトを介して、緩衝材２およびクッション材３に伝播して、人体に効率よくマッサージ効果を及ぼすことができるのである。
【００３３】
【発明の効果】
本発明は上述のようであるから、４個の叩打振動発生手段のうち２個を１組として、２組の叩打振動発生手段がそれぞれ左右対称に配設され、且つ該叩打振動手段を構成する４個のマッサージ部が、制御装置によりメモリーに記録された一定のパターンに従って、それぞれ同時に、または１個ずつ、更には強弱をもたせて人体を叩打すると共に、前記叩打振動発生手段により生成された振動をベルトを介して、緩衝材およびクッション材に伝播して、人体に効率よくマッサージ効果を及ぼすことができる。
更に、コイルへ電流が流れると、移動鉄部が上方移動し、これに伴ない、該移動鉄部の下端の円板が下部クッションゴム板の各小突起を縮重すると共に、押しばねにより下方移動を規制されているマッサージ部を、更に前記各小突起が縮重した長さ分だけわずかに上方へ移動させ、この時点で、コイルへの電流が遮断されると、前記下部クッションゴム板の各小突起が弾発して、円板を下方へ強く押圧することにより、移動鉄部は下方移動すると共に、前記マッサージ部も下方移動するが、該マッサージ部は、前記押しばねの弾発力により、大幅な下方移動を阻止されて、わずかに下方移動して停止し、これらコイルへの電流のＯＮ・ＯＦＦを繰返すことにより、マッサージ部は上下移動を繰返して、マッサージ片による人体への叩打運動を繰返して人体をマッサージすることができる。

It is configured to move.
[0019]
The four tapping vibration generating means 4 having the above-described configuration are divided into two sets, each having two sets in a recess 6 provided in the upper central portion of the cushion material 3 and the cushioning material 2 with a space therebetween. Arranged.
[0020]
That is, the striking vibration generating means 4 having the above-described structure is a synthetic resin having a strength but a certain degree of flexibility, which is disposed with substantially the same interval as the interval between the side plates 26 of the bracket 7. The two folding pieces 27 of the brackets 7 of the four tapping vibration generating means 4 are placed on the two fixed belts 41 made of the four at a distance that allows the recess 6 to be installed. The bolt 42 is fixed integrally.
[0021]
The four hitting vibration generating means 4 are arranged in two recesses 6 with a predetermined interval between the two hitting vibration generating means 4, but are located outside in each recess 6. The tapping vibration generating means 4 is disposed so as to be inclined slightly inward, and the massage parts 13 of the tapping vibration generating means 4 protrude slightly upward from the cushion material 3 so that the cushioning material 2 is provided. It is disposed and fixed inside.
[0022]
In order to dispose and fix the four tapping vibration generating means 4 at the position, the both sides of the cushioning material 2 are inclined slightly upward in the longitudinal direction on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the recess 6. A laterally elongated groove 43 having a sloped portion 43a is formed, and each outer portion of each of the fixed belts 41 to which the four tapping vibration generating means 4 are fixed is press-fitted into the laterally elongated grooves 43 on both sides. Then, the tapping vibration generating means 4 is disposed and fixed at a predetermined position in each recess 6 by fixing with an adhesive. Since both side portions of the laterally long groove 43 are formed with inclined portions 43a slightly inclined upward, the tapping vibration generating means 4 located on each side portion of each of the left and right sets are respectively inward. It will be fixed in a slightly inclined state.
[0023]
The cushioning material 2 is further provided with a storage recess 45 for storing a control device 44 for controlling the tapping vibration generating means 4. A cord for supplying power to each tapping vibration generating means 4 from the control device 44. 46 is connected to each coil 8.
[0024]
In addition, a switch cord 48 having a push button switch 47 for turning on / off the power supply for supplying power to the control device 44 is extended to the outside of the cushion material 3 through the cushioning material 2. The push button switch 47 is housed in a sachet 49 provided so as to project from the outer cover 1 without projecting outside the outer cover 1, and the push button switch 47 is turned on by grasping and pressing the sachet 49. It is formed so that it can be turned off, and it is considered that the push button switch 47 does not touch the eyes so as not to impair the beauty of the entire massage device.
[0025]
The controller 44 is connected to each tapping vibration generating means 4 and controls the operation of each tapping vibration generating means 4. The control device 44 has a function of performing control for causing the massage unit 13 constituting the tapping vibration generating unit 4 to tapping vibration within a certain time and in accordance with a certain pattern. That is, the control device 44 has a pattern for performing strong and slow, slow speed and a combination thereof and a continuous change operation thereof as a basic pattern as a tapping vibration operation of the massage unit 13, and these basic patterns are set at regular intervals. A combination for switching according to a certain rule is recorded in a memory in advance, and can be controlled for each massage unit 13.
[0026]
The operation of the tapping vibration massager of the present invention having the above configuration will be described. First, the small button 49 protruding from the outer cover 1 is grasped and the push button switch 47 is pressed, and the push button switch 47 is turned on. As a result, in response to a command signal from the control device 44, each tapping vibration generating means 4 operates according to a pre-recorded memory.
[0027]
The hitting vibration generating means 4 receives a command signal from the control device 44, repeats supply / stop of power to the coil 8 of the solenoid 9 according to a pre-recorded memory, and sets the voltage of the supplied power. When a direct current of a specific polarity flows through the coil 8 by appropriately supplying power as strong and weak, a closed circuit is formed by the bracket 7 and the seat plate 19, and the through hole 10 is formed through the coil 8 and the fixed iron 17. The magnetic lines of force converge, the electromagnetic force is generated in the moving iron part 12 by the electromagnetic induction action between the magnetic lines of force and the moving iron part 12, and the moving iron part 12 moves upward.
[0028]
As the moving iron portion 12 moves upward, the disk 23 at the lower end of the moving iron portion 12 degenerates each small protrusion 30 of the lower cushion rubber plate 32 and the downward movement is restricted by the push spring 40. The massage part 13 is further moved slightly upward by the length by which each of the small protrusions 30 is degenerated. At this time, when the current to the coil 8 is interrupted, the small protrusions 30 of the lower cushion rubber plate 32 are repelled and strongly press the disk 23 downward, so that the moving iron portion 12 moves downward. At the same time, the massage part 13 also moves downward, but the massage part 13 is prevented from moving greatly downward by the elastic force of the push spring 40, and moves slightly downward and stops. Each small protrusion 35 of the upper cushion rubber plate 36 becomes a cushion member that comes into contact with the attachment member 38 when the moving iron portion 12 moves too much downward. Further, when the moving iron portion 12 has moved up too much, the conical slope portion 24 of the moving iron portion 12 contacts the conical recess portion 20 of the fixed iron 17 to prevent further upward movement.
[0029]
By repeating ON / OFF of the current to the coil 8, the massage unit 13 repeats up and down movement, and repeatedly strikes the human body with the massage piece 39 to massage the human body. At this time, the pressing spring 40 acts to reduce the amount of downward movement of the moving iron portion 12 and reduce the impact on the human body. If the push spring 40 is not present, the human body is hit with a considerably strong force, so the push spring 40 is a necessary member.
[0030]
By repeatedly supplying and stopping power to the coil 8, each massage unit 13 repeats the tapping motion to give a tapping massage effect to the human body, and each fixing belt that fixes each tapping vibration generating means 4 41 is a propagation path of vibration generated based on the tapping motion of each tapping vibration generating means 4, and is propagated as vibration to the cushioning material 2 and can also give a vibration massage effect to the human body.
[0031]
Then, by changing the intensity and cycle of the current flowing through the coil 8 by the control device 44, the massage unit 13 integrated with the moving iron unit 12 generates a tapping vibration according to the intensity and cycle of the current. . For this reason, when the current of a certain pattern recorded in the memory from the control device 44 is supplied to the coil 8, the massage unit 13 operates according to the pattern and exhibits a massage effect. In addition, since each of the massage parts 13 can be individually controlled, the four massage parts 13 are operated so as to match a certain rhythm by adding strength to, for example, from the center to both sides or from both sides to the center. You can also.
[0032]
Of the four tapping vibration generating means 4, two sets of tapping vibration generating means 4 are arranged symmetrically with each other, and four massage portions 13 constituting the tapping vibration means 4 are provided. The human body is struck at the same time or one by one, and further with strength, and the vibration generated by the tapping vibration generating means 4 is propagated to the cushioning material 2 and the cushion material 3 via the belt, It is possible to effectively exert a massage effect on the skin.
[0033]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is as described above, two of the four tapping vibration generating means are set as one set, and two sets of tapping vibration generating means are respectively arranged symmetrically and constitute the tapping vibration means. The four massage units strike the human body at the same time, one by one, or with strength, according to a certain pattern recorded in the memory by the control device, and the vibration generated by the tapping vibration generating means Can be propagated to the cushioning material and the cushioning material via the belt, and a massage effect can be efficiently exerted on the human body.
Further, when a current flows through the coil, the moving iron part moves upward. Along with this, the disk at the lower end of the moving iron part degenerates each small protrusion of the lower cushion rubber plate and is moved downward by the push spring. The massage part that is restricted in movement is further moved upward by a length corresponding to the length of each of the small protrusions. At this point, when the current to the coil is interrupted, the lower cushion rubber plate When each small protrusion bounces and strongly presses the disk downward, the moving iron part moves downward and the massage part also moves downward, but the massage part is moved by the elastic force of the push spring. The movement of the massage part is repeatedly moved up and down by repeating the ON / OFF of the current to these coils, and the hitting movement to the human body by the massage piece. The It is possible to massage the human body to return.
