Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sole massager using rollers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various massage devices have been developed for massaging the sole of a foot (utility model registration number 3025164, etc.). For example, a method of putting a foot on a rotating roller is known.

[0003]

However, according to the conventional method of putting a foot on a rotating roller, the reciprocating roller is placed directly on a slightly raised surface such as a straight line or a drum, and the foot is properly placed on the sole. Therefore, it was difficult to massage while giving an appropriate stimulus to the sole of the foot.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and covers a sheet having a protrusion capable of massaging corresponding to the shape of the sole of the foot on the roller surface, and places the sheet on the sole of the foot via the sheet. It is an object of the present invention to provide a foot massager capable of effectively providing stimulation.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a base for supporting a back surface of a foot, a roller reciprocating while rotating on the base, a driving mechanism for reciprocating the roller, and an instep. A foot massager having a restraining case capable of suppressing pressure, characterized in that a massage sheet in which a plurality of protrusions are formed along the shape of the foot surface is provided on the upper surface of a reciprocating roller.

According to the present invention, by arranging a massage sheet having a plurality of projections formed on the upper surface of a reciprocating roller, an appropriate stimulus can be given to the sole by the plurality of projections.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the protrusion is formed at a height along a sole shape with respect to a flexible flat sheet surface.

In the present invention, since the projections are formed on the flat sheet, the sheet can be easily bent when the rollers reciprocate, and the projections are formed on the pots on the soles, especially on the arched pots. Can be strongly contacted.

A third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the protrusion is formed in a substantially hemispherical surface.

According to the present invention, the projections on the massage sheet surface are formed to be substantially hemispherical, so that a strong stimulus can be given to the sole and a pleasant feeling can be given.

[0011] The invention of claim 4 is characterized in that the massage sheet is formed of an elastic synthetic resin material.

In the present invention, since the massage sheet has elasticity, it can be softly abutted against the sole of the foot, and can be formed easily and inexpensively by using a synthetic resin material. Can be manufactured.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 8 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a massager on the sole with a massage sheet provided on a base surface, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the massage sheet, 3 is a side view of the massage sheet, FIG. 4 is an end view of the massage sheet, FIGS. 5 to 8 are views showing cross-sectional shapes of the massage sheet, and FIG. 9 is a foot sole massage without the massage sheet. It is a perspective view of a container.

As shown in FIG. 9, the sole massager according to the present invention is configured such that the base 1 can be divided into a lower base 2 and an upper base 3, and the upper surface of the upper base 3 has an average of the human sole. The upper surface 4 has a curved shape conforming to a typical shape.

A drive mechanism such as a feed screw shaft 6 and a nut 7 screwed to the feed screw shaft 6 is arranged on the upper surface of the lower base 2, that is, in the center of the mating surface with the upper base 3. On the other hand, an open end of a U-shaped connecting fitting 18 is rotatably attached via a pin 19.

For two parallel sides of the connecting bracket 18,
Wheels 16 are formed at both ends, and a shaft 17 provided on the left and right with a roller 8 having a central portion reduced by one step is rotatably penetrated, and the roller 8 follows the movement of the nut 7 while the upper base 3 is moved.
Of the guards 4a,
It is configured to be able to reciprocate while being guided inside 4a.

In the present invention, a pair of massage sheets 33, 33 are provided on the left and right sides on the reciprocating roller 8 of the sole massager as shown in FIG. It is designed to massage.

As shown in FIG. 9, a foot holding case capable of opening in a wedge shape from the toe of the foot toward the heel by rotating about the shaft 22 on the side surface of the base 1 in the toe direction. 23, a handle 32 is protruded from the open end of the foot holding case 23, a hook-and-loop fastener 24 is provided on the upper surface thereof, and a hook-and-loop fastener 25 connected to the hook-and-loop fastener 24 is provided.
Is provided at the open end of the belt 31 provided on the handle 26 side of the base 1. The hook-and-loop fasteners 24 and 25 are combined with the foot holding case 23 in a state where the instep of the foot is held down when the foot is placed on the base 1 surface.
3 makes it possible to securely hold the base 3 on the base 1 side.

The massage sheet 33 used in the present invention
Is a synthetic resin material having elasticity, and as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, a plurality of solid projections 3 are formed on the surface of a rectangular plate having an equal thickness.
7, and the shape of the protrusion 37 is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape, and the height of the substantially hemispherical protrusion is different depending on each portion of the sole as shown in each cross section of FIGS. .

FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. This cross section is a portion where the depth of the soil foot 38 of the foot 30 is the deepest as shown in FIG. 3, and the protrusion 37 of the inner IN is raised and the outer OU is lowered along the average shape of the sole. ing.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. This cross section is a portion where the depth of the soil foot 38 is slightly lowered at a position slightly forward from the soil foot 38,
The height of the protrusion 37 is formed low corresponding to the depth.

FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG. This cross section is a position closer to the tip of the claw 39 of the foot 30, the height of the soil foot 38 is further lower, and the projection 37 is formed at the same height as a whole.

FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along the line DD of FIG. This cross section is a part of the heel 40, and the height of the projection 37 forms the inside 37 of the foot 30 slightly higher than the outside 40.

As shown in FIG. 1, the massage sheet 33 formed as described above is placed on the upper surface of the roller 8 of the massager on the sole, and both ends are fixed to the base 1, and the upper surface is not shown. Covered with cloth.

When using the massager of the present invention, FIG.
The handle 32 of the foot holding case 23 shown in FIG. 2 is lifted up by hand to open it, the foot 30 is inserted into the opening, and the instep 41 of the foot 30 is held down by the foot holding case 23. , 25 combined foot holding case 2
3 is fixed to the base 1 side.

In this state, when the rollers 8 are reciprocated, the roller 8 moves along the shape of the upper surface 4 when the rollers 8 are moved back and forth.
The massage sheet 33 is pushed up, and the pot on the sole is pressed by the protrusion 37 formed on the sheet 33.

In this case, the instep 41 of the foot 30 is held down by the foot holding case 23, and the projection 37 is formed at a height along the shape of the back of the foot. Strong stimulation and pleasure can be given.

[0029]

According to the present invention, a plurality of projections having different heights along the sole shape are formed on the surface of the massage sheet covering the upper surface of the roller, and the foot is placed on the surface. Since the roller is reciprocated while the instep of the foot is held down by the foot holding case, it becomes possible to give a strong stimulus to the sole via the massage sheet.

Further, by using a synthetic resin material having elasticity for the massage sheet and forming the projections formed on the sheet surface in substantially a hemisphere, it is possible to give strong stimulation and pleasure to the soles of the feet. .
