DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, a disc 1 is connected via a connecting portion 3 to a distal end of a grip portion 1 which is rod-shaped and whose distal side is gently bent. A head 2 is provided. A power cord 9 is led out from the base end of the gripper 1, and a switch 10 is provided on the surface of the gripper 1.

The connecting portion 3 includes a rotary connecting portion 30 that enables the head 2 to rotate around the axis of the gripping portion 1 and a flexible portion formed of a soft synthetic resin and having flexibility. 36, and the rotation connecting portion 30 is shown in FIG.
The cylindrical shaft 31 protruding from the tip of the grip portion 1 as shown in FIG.
The rotation cover 32 of the head 2 is covered on the outer surface of the head 2 so as to be rotatable. In the rotation connection portion 30 whose rotation range is within 360 ° by the stopper 33, the spring-biased ball 34 and the ball 34 The click is generated at every predetermined rotation angle by the concave portion 35 that fits into.

The vibration generator 4 built in the head 2 comprises a motor 40 and an eccentric weight 41 attached to the output shaft of the motor 40.
The head 2 vibrates by the rotation of. In the figure, reference numeral 42 denotes a balancer for the weight of the motor 40. Rollers 5 and 6 are arranged on the outer periphery of the disk-shaped head 2 so as to be rotatable around its axis.

The rollers 5 and 6 are rotatably mounted on the head 2 as shown in FIGS. That is, the support portion 20 formed integrally with the housing 2a of the head 2
The shaft portions 50 and 51 at both ends of the rollers 5 and 6 are held by the rollers 21 and 22, so that the shaft portions 50 and 51 are rotatable. The rollers 5 and 6 are configured such that the rotation shafts of the rollers 5 and 6 are inclined. That is, the rotating shaft portions of the rollers 5 and 6 are inclined so as to have a substantially C shape when viewed from a plane.

Here, the eccentric weight 41 of the vibration generating portion
, Ie, the rotation axis of the motor 40 coincides with the center axis of the disk-shaped head 2, and the rotation of the eccentric weight 41 causes the head 2 to vibrate around the axis. Therefore, a vibration massage can be obtained by applying the outer peripheral surface of the head 2 to the skin. Also, if vibration is generated by rotating the eccentric weight 41 while rolling the rollers 5 and 6 disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the head 2 against the skin, a vibration massage is applied to the skin via the rollers 5 and 6. be able to. Since the plurality of rollers 5 and 6 are inclined, even when the skin has a curved surface, the rollers 5 and 6 can be brought into contact with each other to perform vibration massage.

Since the grip portion 1 is bent, the holding method must be changed between when the rollers 5 and 6 are applied to the skin and when the outer periphery of the head 2 is applied to the skin. By rotating the head 2 with respect to the gripper 1 in the part 30, the roller 5,
6 or the outer periphery of the head 2 can be applied to the skin.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show another embodiment of the present invention, in which shaft portions 50 and 51 at both ends of rollers 5 and 6 are integrally formed with a support portion 20 and a housing 2 a of a head 2.
21 and a supporting portion 23 slidably held back and forth so as to be rotatable. Support part 23
Is slidably mounted in the recess 2 b of the housing 23, and the inclination angle of the rotation shafts of the rollers 5 and 6 can be changed by sliding the support 23 with the slide lever 25. Slide lever 25
Is fixed by locking the slide lever 25 to the locking concave portion 26a of the groove 26 of the housing 2a, and the rollers 5 and 6 are appropriately locked by locking to an appropriate one of the plurality of locking concave portions 26a. Angle of inclination. Since the inclination angles of the rollers 5 and 6 can be changed in this manner, the rollers 5 and 6 can be fitted to the treatment section, and a uniform massage effect can be obtained in the treatment section.

FIG. 7 shows another example of the embodiment. In the case of this example, a plurality of types of rollers having different shapes of stimulating balls are prepared as the rollers 5 and 6, and the rollers 5 and 6 are detachably mounted on the support portions 20, 21, and 22. The rollers 5 and 6 are of a roller type, a spherical type, a drum type or the like as shown in FIG. In this manner, various stimuli can be obtained by replacing the rollers 5 and 6 with different shapes. The shaft portions 50, 5 are provided on the support portions 20, 21, 22.
1 is slidably provided, a small recess 27a is provided in the groove 27, and the shaft portions 50, 51 of the rollers 5, 6 are fitted into the groove 27, and the shaft portion is formed. The rollers 5 and 6 are mounted by fitting the small projections 52 on the end surfaces of the small projections 50 and 51 into the small recesses 27a.
