Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an acupressure device in which an acupressure element presses a human body by expanding an air bladder.

[Conventional technology]

In this type of acupressure device, a pressure receiving plate must be provided between the air bag and the acupressure element so that the expansion force of the air bag can effectively act on the acupressure element. Preferably, the acupressure element can be moved to adjust the position where acupressure can be applied. For this purpose, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 50-19283 discloses that a pressure receiving plate is arranged on the front side of the air bag, an acupressure element is attached to the front side of the pressure receiving plate, and the pressure receiving plate is movable with respect to the air bag. A device is disclosed in which the acupressure position can be adjusted by sliding the acupressure element together with the pressure receiving plate.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In this case, since the acupressure element is moved together with the pressure receiving plate, the resistance between the air bag and the pressure receiving plate is high, and it is very difficult to adjust the acupressure position when the air bag is inflated. The green color of the board may damage the air bladder. The present invention has been made in view of these points, and its purpose is to provide an acupressure device that allows easy adjustment of the acupressure position using an acupressure element and that does not cause the risk of damaging the air bag. It is on offer.

[Means to solve the problem]

Therefore, the present invention provides a pressure receiving plate, an air bag disposed on the back surface of the pressure receiving plate and inflated by air supply, and an air bag disposed on the front surface of the pressure receiving plate and extending in a direction along the front surface of the pressure receiving plate with respect to the pressure receiving plate. It has the U symbol because it is equipped with a slideable acupressure element. [Function] According to the present invention, the pressure receiving plate interposed between the acupressure element and the air bag is at the acupressure position ii! ! Even when the acupressure element is moved for adjustment, it does not move relative to the air bag. [Embodiment] The present invention will be described in detail below based on the illustrated embodiment. This acupressure device has two air bags 2°2 arranged on a base 1,
The pressure receiving plate 3 is provided on the surface side of the air lR2, and a pair of acupressure elements 4, 4 are further provided on the surface side of the pressure receiving @30. Air bag 2,2
A pump block 6 shown in FIG. 3 is connected to the pump block 6 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the pump block 6 includes a pump 60 for sending compressed air to the air bag 2, an exhaust valve 61, and a pressure sensor 62. As shown in FIG. 2, the pressure receiving plate 3, whose both ends are connected to the base 1 by links 11 and 12, is attached to a bottom plate 30 and to the surface side of the bottom plate 30, and has a pair of holes arranged in a row on the surface. It consists of a top plate 31 in which elongated holes 35, 35 are provided, and an id plate 32 with a semicircular cross section that is fixed to the surface of the top plate 31 and covers the elongated holes 35, 35. A pair of opposing racks 43, 43, and a gear 45 that is open to both racks 43, 43 and meshes with both racks 43, 43 are disposed in the space between the two racks 43, 43. The gear 45 is rotatably supported by a small hole 33 in the center of the bottom plate 30, and has a hole 46 in which a steel ball 47 is arranged, and a spring plate 48 on the top side that presses the steel ball 46 downward. is fixed. The steel ball 47 here is a small hole 3 provided in the bottom plate 30.
By engaging with the plurality of engagement holes 34 surrounding the gear 4
Give clicks at multiple points during the rotation in step 5. A pair of hooks 43.43 have protrusions 44, 44 on each end, and these protrusions 44.44 are respectively improved 35.35.
It projects through the surface of the surface plate 31 and into the space covered by the side plate 32, and is connected to the hole 42 in the center of the slide plate 41 at this position. 〃Slits 36.36 formed on both side edges of the side plate 32
A pair of slide plates 41 and 41, each having both ends protruding from both sides of the side plate 32, have a notch 40 having a shape that matches the side plate 32, and are attached to the acupressure element 4 that straddles the side plate 32.
Both ends are connected. In other words, the acupressure elements 4, 4 and the rack 43.43 are connected via the slide plate 41.41, and both racks 43.43 are engaged with the gear 45, so that one acupressure If the child 4 is slid in the longitudinal direction of the side plate 32 and the elongated hole 35, the other acupressure device 4 will slide in the opposite direction by the same amount. Shiatsu position i1! Even if the adjustment is performed, the inner body of the pressure receiving plate 3 does not move at all, so the movement of the acupressure element 4 will not become heavy due to resistance between it and the air bag 2, and at the same time, it will not damage the air bag 2. It is something that never happens. FIG. 5 shows the change in finger pressure obtained by changing the air pressure inside the air bag 2. By operating the pump 60 with the exhaust valve 61 closed to inflate the air bag 2, the finger pressure is gradually increased, and by keeping the exhaust valve 61 closed for a while even after the pump 60 is stopped,
A predetermined finger pressure is maintained for a while, and then the exhaust valve 61 is opened to deflate the air bag 2, thereby lowering the finger pressure. By repeating this, you can perform shiatsu. Other embodiments are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The structure for sliding the acupressure element 4 is the same as in the above embodiment, but here the acupressure element 4 has an electric heater 53 built-in, and the electrical connection structure to the heater 53 is changed accordingly. The difference is in the additions. That is, as is clear from FIG. 7, the acupressure element 4 is placed on a heater base 54, a heater 53 consisting of a positive temperature coefficient thermistor placed in a recess on the upper surface of the heater base 54, and an aluminum plate covering the heater base 54. A hemispherical acupressure ball 52 made of
The electrodes 55 and 55 arranged on both sides of the heater 53 are connected to connection terminals 56.
．． A current collector 57 provided on the slide plate 41 via 56
It is connected to ゜57. In the figure, 65 is an insulating plate, 59 is a roller that rolls on the guide plate 32, and allows the acupressure element 4 to slide smoothly. On the other hand, on the surface side of the surface plate 31 of the pressure receiving plate 3,
As shown in FIG. 7, two contact plates 58.58 are embedded, and the heater 53 is energized through these contact plates 58.58.
This is done through the above-mentioned current collector 57° 57 which contacts 58.

【Effect of the invention】

As described above, in the present invention, since the acupressure element is made to be slidable with respect to the pressure receiving plate, even when starting the acupressure element to adjust the acupressure position, there is no need to intervene to open the acupressure element and the air bag. The pressure receiving plate does not move, so the movement of the acupressure element does not become difficult due to resistance between it and the air bag, and the air bag is not damaged.
