以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施形態に基いて説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

図１乃至図３に本発明の実施の形態の例を示す。本例の椅子式マッサージ機１は、図２のように、座部２、脚載せ部１０、肘掛け部３、背凭れ部４からなる椅子本体１ａを有して構成されている。ここで、座部２は設置面に設置する本体部１１に載設されて使用者の臀部から大腿部を載せる部位であり、脚載せ部１０は座部２の前端部で上下に回動自在に配設されて使用者のふくらはぎを載せる部位であり、背凭れ部４は座部２の後端部で上下に回動自在に配設されて使用者の背中を凭れさせる部位であり、肘掛け部３は座部２の幅方向の側端部にそれぞれ配設されて使用者の肘を載せる部位である。この座部２、脚載せ部１０、肘掛け部３、背凭れ部４には、椅子本体１ａに腰掛けた使用者の身体各部に対してマッサージを施す施療部がそれぞれ設けられている。ここで、肘掛け部３の施療部は、椅子本体１ａに腰掛けた使用者に臨む肘掛け部３の内面に設けられ、椅子本体１ａに腰掛けた使用者の臀部や大腿部にその外側面からマッサージを施す部位であり、詳しくは、使用者の大腿部を外側面から押圧してマッサージを施す大腿部施療部５、使用者の臀部を外側面から押圧してマッサージを施す臀部施療部６とから構成されている。この大腿部施療部５や臀部施療部６は、この順で各肘掛け部３の前方から後方に並べて配設されている。本発明では、肘掛け部３の施療部の構成に工夫を施し、従来大腿部に比べて弱くなりがちだった臀部への押圧を強くし、臀部の施療感を向上させている。以下、詳述する。 An example of an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 2, the chair-type massage machine 1 of the present example includes a chair body 1 a including a seat portion 2, a leg rest portion 10, an armrest portion 3, and a backrest portion 4. Here, the seat part 2 is a part that is placed on the main body part 11 installed on the installation surface and places the thigh from the user's buttocks, and the leg rest part 10 is pivoted up and down at the front end part of the seat part 2. It is a part that is freely arranged and places a user's calf, and the backrest part 4 is a part that is arranged so as to be pivotable up and down at the rear end part of the seat part 2 to drown the user's back, The armrest portion 3 is a portion on which the user's elbow is placed by being arranged at each side end portion of the seat portion 2 in the width direction. The seat part 2, the leg rest part 10, the armrest part 3, and the backrest part 4 are each provided with a treatment part that massages each part of the user's body seated on the chair body 1a. Here, the treatment part of the armrest part 3 is provided on the inner surface of the armrest part 3 facing the user seated on the chair body 1a, and massages from the outer surface to the buttocks and thighs of the user seated on the chair body 1a. Specifically, the thigh treatment unit 5 applies massage by pressing the user's thigh from the outer surface, and the buttocks treatment unit 6 applies massage by pressing the user's buttocks from the outer surface. It consists of and. The thigh treatment unit 5 and the buttocks treatment unit 6 are arranged in this order from the front to the back of each armrest portion 3. In the present invention, the configuration of the treatment portion of the armrest portion 3 is devised to increase the pressure on the buttocks that tend to be weak compared to the conventional thighs, thereby improving the treatment feeling of the buttocks. Details will be described below.

大腿部施療部５及び臀部施療部６は、肘掛け部３の施療部における構成の簡略化を図って、肘掛け部３の内面に沿わせて配設された袋体７で一体に形成されている。この袋体７にはポンプ（図示せず）や排気弁１２を配設した空気供給管１３が接続され、ポンプにて空気が袋体７に供給されたときには袋体７が膨張し、排気弁１２を開けたときには袋体７から空気が抜けて縮小する。袋体７の膨縮を行うためのポンプの駆動制御や排気弁１２の開閉制御は椅子本体１ａに配設された操作部に接続された制御部によって行われる。ところで、この袋体７は、その前後中央部に内部空間を狭めたくびれ部７ｃが設けられ、くびれ部７ｃの前側の袋体７の部位を大腿部施療部５を構成させる大腿部用袋構成部７ａとし、くびれ部７ｃの後側の袋体７の部位を臀部施療部６を構成させる臀部用袋構成部７ｂとして形成されている。つまり、袋体７はくびれ部７ｃを境にして大腿部用袋構成部７ａと臀部用袋構成部７ｂとが前後に区分された構造とされている。しかして、袋体７の膨縮は大腿部用袋構成部７ａと臀部用袋構成部７ｂとで明確に区分できるようにされている。 The thigh treatment part 5 and the buttocks treatment part 6 are formed integrally with a bag body 7 arranged along the inner surface of the armrest part 3 in order to simplify the configuration of the treatment part of the armrest part 3. Yes. An air supply pipe 13 provided with a pump (not shown) and an exhaust valve 12 is connected to the bag body 7. When air is supplied to the bag body 7 by the pump, the bag body 7 expands and the exhaust valve When 12 is opened, air is removed from the bag body 7 and contracts. The drive control of the pump for expanding and contracting the bag body 7 and the opening / closing control of the exhaust valve 12 are performed by a control unit connected to an operation unit disposed in the chair body 1a. By the way, this bag body 7 is provided with a constricted portion 7c with a narrowed internal space at the front and rear central portions thereof, and the thigh treatment portion 5 is formed on the front portion of the bag body 7 of the constricted portion 7c. The bag constituting portion 7 a is formed, and the portion of the bag body 7 on the rear side of the constricted portion 7 c is formed as a heel portion bag constituting portion 7 b that constitutes the buttock treatment portion 6. That is, the bag body 7 has a structure in which the thigh bag constituting portion 7a and the heel portion bag constituting portion 7b are divided in the front-rear direction with the constricted portion 7c as a boundary. Thus, the expansion and contraction of the bag body 7 can be clearly divided into the thigh bag constituting portion 7a and the heel portion bag constituting portion 7b.

この袋体７は左右の肘掛け部３の各内面にそれぞれ配設されるが、これは図１のように、袋体７の大腿部用袋構成部７ａの前後端部から垂設した一対の支持材１４を、椅子本体１ａに固定した縦断面Ｌ字状の取付体１５にビス止めすることで行われている。詳しくは、取付体１５は、大腿部用袋構成部７ａの前後長さと略同様の前後長さを有し、椅子本体１ａの本体部１１に載置固定される水平片状の底片１５ａと、該底片１５ａの幅方向における外縁部から上方に突設した縦片１５ｂとで形成されている。そして、袋体７の取付体１５への取付けは、取付体１５の縦片１５ｂの前後端部の下端部に穿孔した貫通孔１５ｃと袋体７を取着した支持材１４の下端に穿孔した貫通孔１４ａとを連通し、これら各貫通孔１４ａ，１５ｃにビス１６を挿入してナット１７を締結させることで行われ、このとき袋体７の大腿部用袋構成部７ａが縦片１５ｂの内面に添うように配設される（図５参照）。 This bag body 7 is disposed on each inner surface of the left and right armrest portions 3, respectively, as shown in FIG. 1, but this is a pair suspended from the front and rear end portions of the thigh bag constituting portion 7a of the bag body 7. The support member 14 is screwed to an attachment body 15 having an L-shaped longitudinal section fixed to the chair body 1a. Specifically, the attachment body 15 has a front and rear length substantially the same as the front and rear length of the thigh bag constituting portion 7a, and a horizontal piece-like bottom piece 15a that is placed and fixed on the main body portion 11 of the chair main body 1a. , And a vertical piece 15b protruding upward from the outer edge in the width direction of the bottom piece 15a. And the attachment to the attachment body 15 of the bag body 7 perforated to the lower end of the support material 14 which attached the through-hole 15c and the bag body 7 which were pierced in the lower end part of the front-and-back end part of the vertical piece 15b of the attachment body 15. This is done by connecting the through holes 14a, inserting screws 16 into the through holes 14a and 15c, and fastening the nuts 17. At this time, the thigh bag constituting portion 7a of the bag body 7 is formed as a vertical piece 15b. It arrange | positions so that it may follow the inner surface of (refer FIG. 5).

このように、肘掛け部３の内面に袋体７を配設するには、袋体７の大腿部用袋構成部７ａを椅子本体１ａに固定することで行われている。つまり、肘掛け部３の内面に配設した袋体７にあっては、大腿部用袋構成部７ａのみが椅子本体１ａに固定されて拘束状態とされており、臀部用袋構成部７ｂは椅子本体１ａに固定されなくて非拘束状態にあるようにされている。つまり、袋体７を膨張させたときには、拘束状態にある大腿部用袋構成部７ａに比べて、非拘束状態にある臀部用袋構成部７ｂの方が、椅子本体１ａに拘束されない分、膨縮の形状変化の具合が大きくなるようにされている。たとえば、図１のように、大腿部用袋構成部７ａは座部２の幅方向内方のみに膨縮変化するだけであるが（矢印Ａ参照）、臀部用袋構成部７ｂは幅方向内方のみならず水平且つ前方へも自由に膨縮変化することが可能にされている（矢印Ｂ参照）。このように、本例の椅子式マッサージ機１では、臀部への押圧を大腿部への押圧よりも強く行わせることができ、つまり従来大腿部に比べて弱くなりがちだった臀部への押圧を強くすることができ、大腿部への施療感と同等またはそれ以上の施療感を臀部に対して付与できるようになっているのである。 As described above, the bag body 7 is disposed on the inner surface of the armrest portion 3 by fixing the thigh bag constituting portion 7a of the bag body 7 to the chair body 1a. That is, in the bag body 7 disposed on the inner surface of the armrest portion 3, only the thigh bag constituting portion 7a is fixed to the chair main body 1a and is in a restrained state, and the buttocks bag constituting portion 7b is It is not fixed to the chair body 1a and is in an unrestrained state. That is, when the bag body 7 is inflated, as compared with the thigh bag constituting portion 7a in the restrained state, the buttocks bag constituting portion 7b in the unconstrained state is not restrained by the chair body 1a. The degree of shape change of expansion / contraction is increased. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the thigh bag constituent portion 7a only expands and contracts only inward in the width direction of the seat portion 2 (see arrow A), but the buttocks bag constituent portion 7b is in the width direction. It is possible to expand and contract freely not only inward but also horizontally and forward (see arrow B). Thus, in the chair type massage machine 1 of the present example, the pressure on the buttocks can be made stronger than the pressure on the thighs, that is, on the buttocks that tend to be weaker than the conventional thighs. The pressure can be increased, and a treatment feeling equal to or higher than the treatment feeling on the thigh can be imparted to the buttocks.

なお、上記のように肘掛け部３の内面に配設した袋体７は、図２，３のように、取付体１５の縦片１５ｂと一緒に布地のカバー８でその全体を被覆することで、肘掛け部３の施療部が形成されているのであるが、このカバー８によっても上記臀部への施療感向上に資するようにされている。本例の場合、カバー８としては袋体７と共に座部２をも被覆するものが用いられている。そして、このカバー８は、座部２を被覆する座部被覆部８ｃと袋体７の大腿部用袋構成部７ａを被覆する大腿部被覆部８ａとを連なるように形成してあり、座部２を被覆する座部被覆部８ｃと袋体７の臀部用袋構成部７ｂを被覆する臀部被覆部８ｂとを分断するように形成してある。しかして、このカバー８によると、袋体７の大腿部用袋構成部７ａは座部２（ひいては椅子本体１ａ）に対して拘束状態にされており、袋体７の臀部用袋構成部７ｂはカバー８による拘束を受けずに非拘束状態にされているのである。したがって、上述のように袋体７の大腿部用袋構成部７ａのみを椅子本体１ａに固定することで得られた大腿部用袋構成部７ａと臀部用袋構成部７ｂとの拘束度合いの差は、上記カバー８によって更に大きくすることができ、これにより、大腿部に比べて臀部への施療感をより強くすることが可能とされているのである。なお、肘掛け部３の施療部を形成するのに座部２と袋体７とを同一のカバー８で被覆したことで、椅子式マッサージ機１の外観を向上できるのは勿論、複数枚のカバー８の縫合わせを回避して製造の簡略化や製造コストの低廉化が図られる、袋体７と座部２との間に手などを挿入してもこの手を本体部１１まで至らしめる危険性を排除できる、といった利点もある。 The bag body 7 arranged on the inner surface of the armrest portion 3 as described above is covered with the cloth cover 8 together with the vertical piece 15b of the attachment body 15 as shown in FIGS. Although the treatment part of the armrest part 3 is formed, this cover 8 also contributes to the improvement of the treatment feeling to the said heel part. In the case of this example, the cover 8 that covers the seat 2 together with the bag body 7 is used. And this cover 8 is formed so that the seat part covering part 8c which covers the seat part 2 and the thigh covering part 8a which covers the thigh bag constituent part 7a of the bag body 7 may be connected. The seat portion covering portion 8c for covering the seat portion 2 and the heel portion covering portion 8b for covering the heel portion bag constituting portion 7b of the bag body 7 are divided. Thus, according to the cover 8, the thigh bag constituting portion 7a of the bag body 7 is constrained with respect to the seat portion 2 (and hence the chair body 1a), and the bag portion 7 of the bag body 7 is constructed. 7b is not restrained by the cover 8 and is not restrained. Therefore, as described above, the degree of restraint between the thigh bag constituting portion 7a and the buttocks bag constituting portion 7b obtained by fixing only the thigh bag constituting portion 7a of the bag body 7 to the chair body 1a. This difference can be further increased by the cover 8, thereby making it possible to further enhance the feeling of treatment on the buttocks compared to the thigh. In addition, in order to form the treatment part of the armrest part 3, by covering the seat part 2 and the bag body 7 with the same cover 8, the appearance of the chair type massage machine 1 can be improved, as a matter of course. 8 avoids stitching 8 and simplifies manufacturing and reduces manufacturing costs. Even if a hand or the like is inserted between the bag body 7 and the seat 2, the risk of reaching the main body 11 There is also an advantage that sex can be excluded.

また、図４のように、袋体７を被覆したカバー８と袋体７の臀部用袋構成部７ｂの内面との間に、使用者のツボを局所的に押圧する押圧体９を上下前後に移動可能に介装することで、臀部施療部６に押圧体９を配設することも好ましい。具体的には、カバー８の臀部被覆部８ｂの袋体７の内面に対向する裏面にポケット１８が設けられ、上記押圧体９はこのポケット１８内に上下前後に移動可能な状態で収納されている。ここで、上記ポケット１８は伸縮性を有する布材で袋体７の上端位置から袋体７の上下中央位置に亙ってカバー８の裏面に重ねるようにして形成されており、また上記押圧体９は座部２の幅方向内方に突の半球形状の弾性体で構成されている。しかして、ポケット１８に収納した押圧体９は、ポケット１８を形成する伸縮性布材とカバー８の裏面とで挟持されて、ポケット１８内の適宜位置に位置決め配置されるのである。このように臀部施療部６に押圧体９を配設したことで、袋体７の臀部用袋構成部７ｂの膨張に伴って押圧体９を臀部のツボに押圧するようにでき、臀部への施療感を更に強くすることができるのである。なお、押圧体９はカバー８のポケット１８内で上下前後に移動可能に配設されているから、押圧体９をカバー８ごしに摘んでその配設位置をずらすことができ、使用者の体格や意思に合わせて使用者の臀部に効果的なツボ押しマッサージを施すことができるのである。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the pressing body 9 that locally presses the user's acupuncture points between the cover 8 covering the bag body 7 and the inner surface of the bag portion 7 b of the heel portion of the bag body 7. It is also preferable to dispose the pressing body 9 in the buttocks treatment section 6 by interposing it in a movable manner. Specifically, a pocket 18 is provided on the back surface of the cover portion 8b of the cover 8 facing the inner surface of the bag body 7, and the pressing body 9 is accommodated in the pocket 18 so as to be movable up and down. Yes. Here, the pocket 18 is formed of a stretchable cloth material so as to overlap the back surface of the cover 8 from the upper end position of the bag body 7 to the vertical center position of the bag body 7, and the pressing body. Reference numeral 9 denotes a hemispherical elastic body protruding inward in the width direction of the seat portion 2. Thus, the pressing body 9 accommodated in the pocket 18 is sandwiched between the stretchable cloth material forming the pocket 18 and the back surface of the cover 8, and is positioned and arranged at an appropriate position in the pocket 18. By arranging the pressing body 9 in the buttocks treatment section 6 in this way, the pressing body 9 can be pressed against the acupuncture points of the buttocks with the expansion of the buttocks bag constituting part 7b of the bag body 7, The feeling of treatment can be further strengthened. Since the pressing body 9 is disposed so as to be movable up and down in the pocket 18 of the cover 8, the pressing body 9 can be gripped through the cover 8 to shift the position of the pressing body 9. An effective acupoint push massage can be applied to the user's buttocks according to the physique and intention.

また、図５，６のように、肘掛け部３の施療部を複数枚の袋体７を内外に層状に重ねて配設して構成し、各袋体７毎にカバー８を被覆させたことも好ましい。本例では図５のように２枚の袋体７を取付体１５の縦片１５ｂの内方に重ねるようにして配設している。そして、各袋体７との間に上方に開口する隙間Ｓを形成するように各袋体７毎にカバー８を被覆させている。このカバー８は各袋体７と座部２とを一体に被覆するものでも、各袋体７を個別に被覆したカバー８と座部２を被覆したカバー８とを縫い合わせたものでもよいが、カバー８の各袋体７を被覆する部位とカバー８の座部被覆部８ｃとの連結は大腿部被覆部８ａのみで行われており、つまりカバー８の臀部被覆部８ｂは座部被覆部８ｃには連結されないようになっており、カバー８によって袋体７の臀部用袋構成部７ｂの膨縮の自由度が妨げられないようにされている。このように肘掛け部３の施療部を複数枚の袋体７を内外に層状に重ねて配設して構成し、各袋体７毎にカバー８を被覆させたことで、図６の矢印Ｃのように、内外に隣接する袋体７の隙間Ｓに手先を挿入することで、指、手の甲、てのひらに対してマッサージを施すことができるのであり、簡単な構成で椅子式マッサージ機１のマッサージ機能の充実を図ることができるのである。なお、各袋体７を被覆するカバー８同士は各大腿部被覆部８ａで連結しているのであり、また肘掛け部３の施療部にあって各袋体７の臀部用袋構成部７ｂは座部２の上方位置に位置するようにされている。しかして、内外に隣接する袋体７の隙間Ｓに使用者が手先を下方に深く挿入しても、各袋体７を被覆するカバー８の連結部位や座部２の上面によって手先の下方への進行が阻止されるのであり、この手先が袋体７の取付体１５への取付部位や本体部１１までに挿入されてしまうことが防止され、椅子式マッサージ機１の安全性の確保も為されている。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the treatment portion of the armrest portion 3 is configured by arranging a plurality of bag bodies 7 in a layered manner inside and outside, and covering each cover body 7 with a cover 8. Is also preferable. In this example, as shown in FIG. 5, the two bag bodies 7 are arranged so as to overlap the inside of the vertical piece 15 b of the attachment body 15. A cover 8 is covered for each bag body 7 so as to form a gap S opening upward between each bag body 7. The cover 8 may be one that covers each bag 7 and the seat 2 integrally, or may be a cover 8 that individually covers each bag 7 and a cover 8 that covers the seat 2 stitched together. The portion of the cover 8 that covers each bag body 7 and the seat covering portion 8c of the cover 8 are connected only by the thigh covering portion 8a. In other words, the buttock covering portion 8b of the cover 8 is the seat covering portion. The cover 8 is not connected, and the cover 8 does not prevent the degree of freedom of expansion and contraction of the bag portion 7b for the heel portion of the bag body 7. In this way, the treatment portion of the armrest portion 3 is configured by arranging a plurality of bag bodies 7 in a layered manner on the inside and outside, and covering each cover body 7 with a cover 8, whereby the arrow C in FIG. Like this, by inserting a hand into the gap S between the bag bodies 7 adjacent to the inside and outside, it is possible to massage the fingers, the back of the hand, and the palm of the hand, and the massage of the chair type massage machine 1 with a simple configuration.
