Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a manual massager that is used by pressing it against a massaged part.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Although there are various types of manual massagers, an example of one that is simple and inexpensive without a power generator such as a vibration generator is shown in FIG.

The main body 21 has an elongated taper shape, and the large-diameter end 22 and the small-diameter end 23 are formed in a hemispherical shape. Anti-slip grip portions 24, 24 having a plurality of circumferential grooves are provided at appropriate positions on the outer surface of the main body.

When using such a massager, the large-diameter end 22 or the small-diameter end 23 is pressed against the vase or the muscles are massaged and loosened. Depending on the pressing force, the small diameter end is used when strongly stimulating the pot, for example, and the large diameter end is used when gently loosening the muscles.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Conventional massagers only press the pots and muscles of the body, and the effect is simply due to the action of acupressure and massage. The present invention can provide a massaging device in which blood circulation is promoted by magnetic force in addition to simple acupressure and massage.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the massager according to the present invention, a permanent magnet is provided in the socket opened at the end of the cylindrical case, and a spherical body made of a magnetic material is fitted into the socket so that a part of it is exposed to the outside. It is assumed to be held by suction with a magnet.

[0007]

[Action]

 By fitting the sphere into the socket, the permanent magnet in the socket attracts and holds the sphere made of a magnetic material and magnetizes the sphere itself. The sphere is pressed against the skin for acupressure and massage.Because the sphere is a magnetic material, the magnetic flux from the magnet is distributed from the tip of the sphere, and the magnetism acts deep into the massaged site, promoting blood circulation. It

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a specific example of the massage device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention partially broken away. Reference numerals 1 and 2 in the drawing denote left and right cases, 3 and 4 are spheres, 5 and 6 are sockets, and 7 and 8 respectively. Is a permanent magnet.

The left case 1 and the right case 2 are tubular, and the socket 5 and the socket 6 are provided at the left end of the left case and the right end of the right case, respectively, and the socket is provided at the right end of the left case. The thin-walled connecting portion 1a is provided with a thin-walled connecting portion 2a at the left end of the right case. A slip-preventing grip 9 formed by cutting a plurality of circumferential grooves is provided at an appropriate position on the outer circumference of the left case 1.

Steel balls having diameters of about 15 mm and 10 mm are used for the spheres 3 and 4, and sockets 5 and 6 for holding the spheres 3 and 4 have a structure shown in a cross section in FIG. ing. The sockets 5 and 6 are composed of bottom portions 5a and 6a and peripheral walls 5b and 6b. The sphere is held at one half by the bottom portion and the peripheral wall, and the other half portion is projected outward from the socket opening. . The inner diameter of the peripheral wall is almost the same as the diameter of the sphere. The sphere is rotated in the socket when forced, but is attracted and held by a magnet so that it cannot easily come out of the socket. When the socket portion is made of a synthetic resin material or the like, the inner edge of the peripheral wall opening may be slightly narrower than the diameter of the spherical body, and the spherical body may be press-fitted from the outside.

Each of the bottom portions 5a and 6a has a concave inner surface (sphere side) in the socket, and has a shape in which the central portion of the bottom portion protrudes toward the inside of the case. Holes 5c and 6c for communicating with and are formed, and short cylindrical permanent magnets 7 and 8 are respectively inserted from inside the case, and one end is exposed to the inner surface of the bottom of the socket. It is preferable to use permanent magnets 7 and 8 having a magnetic permeability of about 2000 to 3500 gauss, and the spheres 3 and 4 are attracted and held by the magnetic force of the permanent magnets. At this time, the permanent magnet and the sphere do not have to be in contact with each other.

When using the massager configured as described above, the exposed portions of the left and right spheres 3 and 4 are pressed against the pots (acupuncture points) of the body, or the skin is moved to rub the muscles and the like. Loosen.

The sphere is attracted and held by the permanent magnet in the socket, but if the sphere directly contacts the skin and is forcibly moved, it rolls and rotates on the skin, allowing a smooth and comfortable massage. . Moreover, since the inner diameter of the opening end of the socket is almost the same as the diameter of the sphere, the fitting tolerance between the socket and the sphere does not require much accuracy, and the sphere is easily attached in the manufacturing process. When the sphere is fitted into the socket at one end, it is attracted and held by the permanent magnet in the center of the bottom of the socket, so it does not fall off easily. Since spheres 3 and 4 having different diameters are used, the spheres 3 and 4 can be used properly according to the part to be massaged.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 In the present invention, the magnet holding the sphere is provided inside the socket of the case, but since the sphere is a magnetic body, the magnetic force lines are generated from the tip of the sphere, and therefore the magnetic field lines reach deeper in the portion to be massaged. It reaches and promotes blood circulation and improves the massage effect. Further, since the sphere is attracted and held by the permanent magnet, the structure of the sphere mounting portion in the socket can be simplified, and the working process of the socket portion and the sphere mounting work at the time of manufacturing are simplified.
