The other screw 16 is inserted into a through hole 17 formed in the second connecting portion 14, and is connected thereto by screwing a nut 18 therein. Therefore,
The vibrating body 11 vibrates while elastically deforming the elastic members 15, and the vibrating body 11 is held by these elastic members 15 so that the mounted state does not tilt.

Further, the vibrating body 11 has a corner portion at its upper end in the inclination direction formed into a rounded curved surface portion 19, and a convex portion 21 having an arcuate cross section along the width direction is formed in the middle portion. There is. A rubber plate 22 as an elastic sheet is provided on the vibrating body 11 over its upper surface and the curved surface portion 19 on the upper end side in the inclination direction.

3 is provided in a protruding manner, and a similar hollow soft protrusion 23, which is sufficiently larger than the protrusions 23 in other parts, is formed at a location corresponding to the top of the protrusion 21. As shown in FIG. 5, the heating element 20 is formed by printing heating wires 20b made of silver paste on a flexible film 20a such as a polyester film.

The vibrating body 11 is molded from synthetic resin such as ABS resin, and a large number of hemispherical hard protrusions 11b are integrally molded on the upper surface of the vibrating body 11 during molding.
Further, the rubber plate 22 is formed of a thermoplastic elastomer containing a substance that emits far infrared rays when heated. In other words, vibrator 1
The rubber plate 22 is formed by injection molding a thermoplastic elastomer onto the upper surface of the rubber plate 1. Therefore, the soft projections 23 formed on the rubber plate 22
is in a state where the hard protrusion 11b of the vibrating body 11 is covered. At this time, the thermoplastic elastomer flows to the lower surface side from the plurality of through holes 11a provided protrudingly in the vibrating body 11, and the caulked portion 22a is larger than the through holes 11a.
As a result, the rubber plate 22 is removably bonded to and fixed to the vibrating body 11.

A mold device 51 shown in FIG. 4 is used to mold the rubber plate 22. That is, this mold device 5
1 is divided into first to third molds 52 to 54. A vibrating body 11, which has been injection molded in advance and has a heating element 20 attached to its upper surface, is inserted into the cavity formed by these molds 52 to 54. The lower surface 11c of this vibrating body 11 is joined to the cavity-forming surface 52a of the first mold 52, and the upper surface 11d is constant with the cavity-forming surfaces 53a, 54a of the second and third molds 53, 54. They are separated by an interval of . In other words, the surfaces 5 of the second and third molds 53 and 54
3a and 54a, hemispherical recesses 55 are formed at positions corresponding to hard protrusions 11b formed on the upper surface 11d of the vibrating body 11. Therefore, the upper surface 11d of the vibrating body 11 and the second and third molds 53, 5
The distance between the surfaces 53a and 54a of 4 is the hard protrusion 11b.
This part and other parts are almost the same.

The second mold 53 is provided with an injection port 56 for injecting thermoplastic elastomer (synthetic rubber) into the cavity. Therefore, by injecting the molten thermoplastic elastomer through the injection port 56, the rubber plate 22 can be integrally molded onto the upper surface 11d of the vibrating body 11 as described above.

Substances that emit far-infrared rays contained in the above elastomers include straw and rice husk powder, tree leaves, wood powder, smoky charcoal powder and ashes thereof, plant and animal fats and oils, volcanic ash, polymer compounds, ceramics, etc. used.

Note that a recess 56 for forming the caulking portion 22a is formed in the surface 52a of the first mold 52.

On the other hand, a switch 24 is provided on the upper surface of the lower end of the main body 1 in the direction of inclination, and is capable of controlling the on/off state of the motor 6 and the strength of rotation thereof. In addition, in Fig. 1, 25 is a power cord, 2
6 is a frequency selection switch, 27 is a wiring cord,
28 is a printed circuit board. Furthermore, the heating element 20
A pair of terminals 20c (only one shown) is connected to the heating wire 20b. These terminals 20c protrude toward the inner surface of the vibrating body 11, and a power supply lead wire 20d is connected to the protruding ends thereof. Further, the flexible film 20a has holes 20e at locations corresponding to the hard protrusions 11b of the vibrating body 11, as shown in FIG.
is formed, and a large number of slits 20f are formed in communication with the hole 20e so that it can be attached along the central convex portion 21.

On the other hand, the leg member 2 is constructed as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. In other words, the leg member 2 includes a cylindrical base 29 and a cylindrical connecting portion 31 that projects from the upper surface of the base 29 and has a smaller diameter than the base, which are integrally formed of an elastic material such as rubber. . The base 29 has first to fourth annular walls 32a to 32.
d are formed by first to fourth grooves 33a to 33d, respectively, which open to the lower end surface of the base portion 29. The lengths of these annular walls are such that the first annular wall 32a located at the outermost periphery is the longest, followed by the second annular wall 32b, the third annular wall 32c, and the fourth annular wall 32d. . Therefore, the leg member 2
Normally, the lower end surface of the first annular wall 3a is in contact with the ground, but when the load applied thereto increases and the first annular wall 3a is compressed and deformed, the second to fourth annular walls 32b to 32d are sequentially moved in accordance with the load. The grounding resistance increases. Note that the base 29 has a fifth groove 33e formed on the outer periphery of the connecting portion 31, which is open to the upper surface side of the base 29, and this groove 33e makes it easier for the fourth annular wall 32d to displace. . Further, among the annular walls, the first annular wall 32a is formed to be the thinnest, and the fourth annular wall 32d is formed to be the thickest.

Further, an annular groove 34 is formed in the connecting portion 31 in the circumferential direction thereof. Then, the leg member 2 is attached by fitting the connecting portion 31 into the mounting hole 35 bored in the bottom surface of the main body 1, and engaging the annular groove 34 with the peripheral part of the mounting hole 35 of the main body 1. There is.
Therefore, the leg member 2 receives the load of the main body 1 and the vibrating body 11.

The foot massage device constructed in this manner is utilized as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, when the user U is seated on the chair 41 and presses the soles of his feet against the rubber plate 22 of the vibrating body 11, he can receive a pine surge there. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, if the foot is thrown out from the almost perpendicular position shown in FIG. You can receive pine surge in some areas.

When receiving the pine surge in this way, the vibrating body 11 is inclined at a predetermined angle, and the upper end in the direction of inclination is formed into the curved surface part 19, so that the user U
The user can press the Achilles tendon portion against the curved surface portion 19 and receive a pine surge on that portion by simply throwing out the foot without taking an unreasonable posture.

In addition, since a convex portion 21 is formed in the central portion of the vibrating body 11, this portion can be used to receive the pine surge on the arch of the foot, and the large protrusion 21 can be used to
You can do things like press the base of your toes against this area to receive a pine surge.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG.
If you get off the train and place your calf part on the vibrating body 11, you can receive a pine surge on that part.

When receiving pine surge in various ways as described above, if the heating element 20 is energized to cause the heating wire 20b to generate heat, the rubber plate 22 is warmed by the heat. This rubber plate 22 contains a substance that emits far infrared rays. Therefore, since far-infrared rays are emitted from the rubber plate 22, the user can receive pine surge while his/her feet are warmed from inside by the far-infrared rays. In other words, users can receive pine surgery with their feet sufficiently warmed and with good blood circulation.
A high pine surge effect can be obtained.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, this invention uses an elastomer containing a substance that emits far infrared rays via a sheet-like heating element on the top surface of the vibrating body that is vibrated by the vibration generating mechanism. An elastic sheet having a large number of protrusions is provided on the upper surface of the mold. Therefore, when the elastic sheet is heated by the heating element, far-infrared rays are emitted from the elastic sheet, so that the user can receive pine surge while having his or her feet warmed from within by the far-infrared rays. can. In other words, the user can receive pine surgery with good blood circulation in the feet, thereby increasing the pine surgery effect. By supplying a thermoplastic elastomer to the top surface of the vibrating body, the elastic sheet can be integrated with the vibrating body by having a large number of protrusions and a caulking portion that protrudes from the through hole drilled in the vibrating body to the back side. I tried to combine them. Therefore, even if a shear force is generated between the vibrating body and the elastic sheet when the user vibrates the vibrating body with his or her feet on the elastic sheet, the caulked portion will not elastically deform. Therefore, the elastic sheet may be difficult to peel off from the vibrating body compared to the conventional method in which the elastic sheet is bonded to the vibrating body with an adhesive.
