Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute action to put a human organism between a pair of finger- pressing elements by automatically approaching and aparting the pair of finger- pressing elements by pulling the pair of finger-pressing elements with spring energization and a coupling means accompanying the rising and setting action of the finger-pressing elements. CONSTITUTION:When both finger-pressing elements 2 and 2 rise because of the expansion of an air bag 6, since racks to which the respective finger-pressing elements 2 are fitted are pulled with wires 69 and 69 in mutually opposite directions, the interval between both finger-pressing elements 2 and 2 gradually becomes narrower as the elements 2 and 2 rise, and because of this, the rising and setting directions of both finger-pressing elements 2 and 2 become directions indicated by arrows, and the directions of the finger-pressing actions by the finger-pressing elements 2 and 2 become the directions to put the backbone of a user. After that, air in the air bag 6 is discharged by opening an electromagnetic valve 85, and the title machine returns to its initial action by switching both electromagnetic valves 83 and 84. The interval between both the finger- pressing elements 2 and 2 returns to its original interval by energization with springs 39 and 39.

An air bladder 6 is provided for moving the acupressure element 2.2 up and down via the acupressure element 2.2. A part of this air bag 6 is the main housing 1
It is glued and fixed to 0 to prevent it from moving. On the other hand, the pair of supports 4, 4 are both formed by air bags, and are wrapped together with the center part of the main housing 1o by a highly elastic fabric cover 5 such as jersey, so that the support members 4, 4 are They are located before and after the section. Note that both supports 4.4 are not fixed to the housing 1. Further, the cloth cover 5 itself is adhesively fixed to the pressure receiving plate 3 at a window 50 through which the acupressure element 2.2 is passed. A battery block 80. Charging module 81, motor pump 82
, solenoid valves 83, 84, 85, a control circuit board 86, and the like are housed. FIG. 5 shows an operating device 88 connected to a control circuit board 86 via a cord 87. FIG. 6 shows a block circuit diagram. The control circuit mounted on the control circuit board 86 is connected to the motor pump 82 via a motor drive circuit, and to the solenoid valve 83 via each valve drive circuit.
, 84.85 are connected. In the figure, 89 is a pressure sensor that measures the pressure at the discharge part of the motor pump 82.
The control circuit starts the motor pump 82 when the pressure value obtained from the pressure sensor 89 becomes 50 iuHg or less. Note that since the two air bags constituting the pair of supports 4.4 are connected in parallel, one is represented here. Among the three solenoid valves 83, 84, 85, solenoid valve 8
3 is connected to the discharge side of the motor pump 82, and the switching boats a and c are connected to the support 4 and the air bag 6. The solenoid valve 84 is connected to the suction side of the motor pump 82, and is connected to the support 4 and the air bag 6. Switch to air bag 6) b, d
Further, the solenoid valve 85 is connected to the suction side of the motor pump 82. In this pine surge machine, when the power switch of the operating device 86 is turned on, the motor pump 82 operates and sends out the air sucked through the open solenoid valve 85, depending on the strength setting of the operating device 86. The supports 4 and 4 are connected through the boat a of the solenoid valve 83 until the air pressure reaches
Air is supplied to inflate the support 4.4. When the air pressure reaches the set pressure, the solenoid valve 85 is closed, the motor pump 82 is stopped, and the above state is maintained for a while. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8(a), the supports 4, 4 support the user's body at a position above the acupressure elements 2, 2, and both are composed of air bags. Since both supports 4.4 are in communication with each other,
It adapts to the body shape, and from the user's point of view,
You can take a comfortable posture without feeling uncomfortable. After that, while the solenoid valve 85 remains closed, the solenoid valves 83 and 84 are switched, and the air in the support body 4 is transferred from the boat b of the solenoid valve 84 to the pump chamber of the motor pump 82 and the solenoid valve 83. It is sent to the air bag 6 through the boat c, and the motor pump 82 is sent to the air bag 6 through the boat c.
In order to operate, the supports 4, 4 are contracted and the air bag 6 is inflated, as shown in FIGS. 8(b) and 9(b). The pressure receiving plate 3 is connected to the link plate 6 by the air bag 6.
1.61 and is pushed up, causing the acupressure element 2.2 to protrude upward. Even if the actual vertical stroke of the acupressure elements 2, 2 is small, the relative stroke between the upper surface of the support 4 and the upper end of the acupressure element 2 is small because the support 4 descends as the acupressure element 2 rises. is large, so that the acupressure pine surge by the acupressure element 2 is sufficient. In addition, since this finger pressure can be detected by the pressure sensor 89, the strength can be easily adjusted, and the air bag 6
Even if the degree of sealing of the support body 4 is insufficient, finger pressure can be applied with the required pressure. Also, when both tooth indenters 2.2 rise due to the expansion of the air bag 6,
Since the racks 32°32 to which the respective acupressors 2 are attached are pulled in opposite directions by the wires 69, 69, the distance between the tooth depressors 2.2 narrows as they rise.
Y), and therefore both tooth indenters 2, 2
The direction of appearance is the direction shown by the arrow in Fig. 9(a),
The acupressure action by the acupressure element 2°2 is in the direction of pinching the user's spine, and more effective pine surge can be obtained. Incidentally, the interval between the two tooth indenters 2, 2 can be changed by moving left and right between the racks 32.3 to which the two tooth indenters 2.2 are respectively attached.
2 are both engaged with the pinions 33, so they are necessarily symmetrical. Further, the vertical movement of the acupressure elements 2, 2 is caused by the slide rollers 65.
Since the air bag 65 is rolled on the main housing 10, no inclination occurs in the left-right direction, and the air bag 6 inflates while being guided by the ribs 13, 13 of the main housing 10. Therefore, the expansion of the air bag 6 is caused by the acupressure element 2.
．． It is effectively used for the upward movement of 2. Once the acupressure elements 2, 2 are protruded in this way, this state is maintained for a while, and then the solenoid valve 85 is opened to discharge the air in the air bag 6. By switching the solenoid valves 83, 84, the above-mentioned initial operation is restored. The spacing between the two tooth indenters 2.2 is returned to its original state by the biasing force of the spring 39.39.

【Effect of the invention】

As described above, in the present invention, as the acupressure elements move in and out, the pair of acupressure elements automatically move toward or away from each other by being biased by the spring and being pulled by the connecting means. Since the acupressure from the pair of acupressure elements acts diagonally on the user's affected area and pinches the affected area, the finger pressure can be reliably transmitted to the user, and it is effective and comfortable for the user. Furthermore, this type of movement of the acupressure element is performed by utilizing the retracting and retracting movement of the acupressure element by means of a connecting means and a spring that connect the acupressure element to the housing. It does not require separate power and can be provided at low cost.
