In the illustrated example, the support body 2 is a support body which is erected at a substantially central portion near one end in the longitudinal direction of FIG. A bifurcated projection 2B 'has an upper portion rotatably mounted around a vertical axis on a short cylindrical wall 2A' whose lower end is widened, which is integrally provided at the center of the mounting base 2A. It has a cylindrical support member 2B and a shaft pin 2C provided laterally between the bifurcated protrusions 2B 'of the support member 2B. The operation pin 3 is attached to the shaft pin 2C at one end 3A thereof. It is rotatably supported around a horizontal axis. The support member 2B is provided with a circular flange portion 2B ″ at its lower end portion, and the flange portion 2B ″ is prevented from coming out of the short cylinder wall 2A ′ when pulled upward, so that the short cylinder wall 2A ″. It can be slidably engaged with the lower end widened portion 2A'x of ′ (see FIG. 6A).

FIG. 6B shows a modified example of the structure of the support body 2 shown in FIG. 6A, in which the short cylindrical wall 2A ′ of the mounting base 2A has a small inner diameter portion 2A′M in its upper portion. The lower inner portion is provided with a large inner diameter portion 2A'L, while the supporting member 2B is axially slidably inserted into the short cylindrical wall 2A ', and the small inner diameter portion 2A'M and It is inserted in a sliding cylinder 4 having a circular flange portion 4A which can be engaged with a step portion 2A'S between the large inner diameter portions 2A'L. This modification has a slightly more complicated structure than the above-mentioned one, but has an advantage that the operation rod 3 can be operated more smoothly.

The other end of the operation rod 3 is formed as a threaded portion 3B, and the grip 5 is detachably screwed and fixed to the threaded portion 3B. A roller 6 for rolling and pressurizing a desired part of the body is rotatably attached at an appropriate position in the middle of the operating rod 3 between the grip 5 and the support 2. In the illustrated example, the operating rod 3 is provided with a pipe between the end 3A on the side of the support 2 and the roller 6 and between the roller 6 and the grip 5, respectively. The bodies 7, 8 are rotatably mounted. These tubular bodies 7 and 8 are for preventing the axial movement of the roller 6, but the longer tubular body 7 of them is the same as the body of the roller 6. It can be used as a member for rolling and pressing a desired portion of The roller 6 can be made of various kinds of synthetic resins or synthetic rubbers that are harmless to the human body, but it is desirable to use a material and a hardness that give a comfortable stimulus to the body as much as possible. On the inner peripheral surface of the roller 6, in order to prevent wear caused by friction caused by sliding rotation with the operating rod 3 during rolling, a bush formed of a wear resistant material (illustrated) Is not attached).

FIGS. 8 and 9 show other embodiments respectively. In the embodiment of FIG. 8, two rollers 6 and 6 are used, and in the embodiment of FIG. 8, three rollers are used. -6, 6, and 6 are respectively used, and the rollers are rotatably attached to the operation rod 3 in a state of being adjacent to each other. Since the mounting of the roller 6 on the operation rod 3 is extremely simple as shown in FIG. 5, if a plurality of rollers 6 are held, the first embodiment described above can be carried out. The example can be easily modified.

FIGS. 10, 11 and 12 show still another embodiment. In this embodiment, one cylindrical body 9 is rotatably attached to the operating rod 3. In addition, a large number of relatively flexible and elastic projections 9A are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body 9. Although the tubular body 9 is formed to be relatively long, a plurality of tubular bodies shorter than that may be used, and the projections 9A have the same shape in the illustrated example. Although formed in the same size, various sizes can be combined.

FIGS. 13, 13A, 13B, and 14 show yet another embodiment. In this embodiment, the basic configuration is similar to that of the first embodiment described above. However, in addition to the difference in the shape of the base plate 1, a hanging member 10 is provided so that the massaging device can be hung from a hook protruding from a wall or a pillar. The difference is that the holding table 11 for holding the grip 5 from below is detachably attached to the base plate 1. The above-mentioned holding base 11 is provided with an engaging recess 11A into which the grip 5 can be tightly fitted, and a locking projection 11B which can be fitted and locked into the engaging hole 12 provided in the base plate 1. .

In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the base plate 1 is preferably made by cutting and processing a single piece of wood having an appropriate thickness. This is because it is lightweight and difficult to deform, and by coating the surface with paint such as varnish, it is possible to give an elegant appearance like wooden furniture. The support 2 and the operating rod 7 may have to be rolled with a considerably strong force depending on the body part to be massaged and the medical condition at the time of massage, and a machine that can bear the load. It is desirable to use a metal material such as stainless steel because it requires high mechanical strength. The grip 5 and the tubes 7 and 8 can be made of a hard synthetic resin. It is recommended to fix a rubber foot plate 1B near each of the four corners on the back surface of the base plate 1 to prevent slipping when using it on a flat floor surface and to ensure stability. . Instead of this, a cushion pad (not shown) having a constant thickness may be adhered flush with the back surface of the base plate 1. When the base plate 1 has a rectangular shape as in the first embodiment, a size of about 30 cm × 20 cm can provide sufficient practicality, and a base plate having another shape can be used. But that is enough. It should be noted that in order that even an amateur can carry out effective massaging, it is advisable to illustrate the pot of the human body and attach a list with explanations to the back surface of the base plate 1 or the like. The holding table 11 is preferably made of synthetic resin.

In the manual massager according to the present invention, in any of the above-described embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7, 12, 15, 16 and 17, the massaging device is used. With the hands, feet, arms, etc. placed on the base plate 1 and the roller 6 or the tubular body 9 applied to those body parts, the grip 5 is grasped with one hand, and the shaft of the support 2 is held. When the operation rod 3 which is rotatable up and down and left and right with the pin 2C as a fulcrum is rocked to the left and right while applying appropriate pressure, the roller or tubular body is placed on the surface of those body parts. Since it rolls under pressure along with it, the massaging function is exerted by this pressure rolling. Of the above embodiments, the one shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 can be used in a state where the grip 5 is fitted and locked to the holding base 11. For example, if you put your sole on the roller 6 and move it back and forth in this state, you can massage your sole, or you can massage your back by putting your back on it. Is. The structure of this embodiment can be implemented in all other embodiments.
