Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for providing a user with a relaxing effect.
  • the body-supporting member is configured so as to be rocked. Accordingly, when the relaxation apparatus is carried by, e.g., two carrying persons with the back portion and ottoman of the body-supporting member, the base having the rocking mechanism rocks around the body-supporting member held by the carrying persons, which makes it difficult to carry the relaxation apparatus and, hence, an improvement is in need.
  • JP 2001 178 576A discloses a relaxation apparatus according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention provides a relaxation apparatus capable of being carried with ease when needed.
  • a relaxation apparatus including a body-supporting unit for supporting a user's body, a rocking unit for rocking the body-supporting unit back and forth and a controller for controlling the rocking unit to rock the body-supporting unit, characterized in that: the rocking unit includes a driving unit for generating driving force for rocking the body-supporting unit and a transmission mechanism for transmitting the driving force from the driving unit, the rocking unit being provided on a base of the relaxation apparatus, and the transmission mechanism is configured such that an acting force from the body-supporting unit to the driving unit is self-locked.
  • the transmission mechanism may include a worm shaft and a worm wheel, and a lead angle of the worm wheel and the worm shaft may be set not to be greater than 4°.
  • the relaxation apparatus in accordance with the present invention is capable of being carried with ease when needed.
  • the rocking mechanism 12 includes a motor 20 as a driving unit, a transmission mechanism 21 and a reduction gear 23, a crank mechanism 26 and a plurality of, e.g., two, link members 28.
  • the motor 20 generates driving force for a rocking motion.
  • the motor 20 is installed on the bottom portion 11a of the base 11 and its driving is controlled by a controller 22 installed on the bottom portion 11a.
  • a pulley 21a included in the transmission mechanism 21 is attached on a leading end portion of a rotating shaft 20a of the motor 20 and is rotated together with the rotating shaft 20a.
  • the width of the body-supporting member 13 is gradually decreased from the front side of the waist support portion 31b, i.e., the rear side of the seat portion 30 to the front edge of the ottoman 32, forming a curved shape as a whole.
  • a manipulator 41 electrically connected with the controller 24 (see Fig. 1 ) which can be operated by a user, while at a side surface 30a of the seat portion 30, a main power switch 42 is installed which can turns on and off the power supply.
  • air bags may be installed in the respective portions of the body-supporting member 13 to provide a relaxation effect such as massaging by performing suitable expansion and contraction of the air bags.
  • the controller 24 controls the motor 20 to perform a refresh rocking in which the frequency of the rocking motion is gradually increased, the refresh rocking may be eliminated.
