包袋ｊを貫通している。Bags c to g used in such an air massager are formed of a bag body h and an outer bag i as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. The bag main body h is formed of an elongated flat bag part formed by using a soft material having airtightness and heat-sealing the periphery of the soft material in a folded state. The widths of the peripheral edges of the bag body h are substantially the same. The outer bag i is a cloth bag having a flexibility that does not hinder the expansion of the bag body h, and has a size capable of accommodating the bag body h with a margin, and its peripheral portion is used as a mounting portion j. Further, the air supply / exhaust port of the bag body h is provided so as to penetrate the outer bag j, or the air supply / exhaust pipe connected to the air supply / exhaust port penetrates the outer bag j.

問題もある。As the bag body h is moved every time it is inflated and deflated, the maximum pressure point given to the user's body when the bag body h is inflated to the maximum is also moved. There is a problem that it is disadvantageous to apply pressure to the same place intermittently and massage. Further, since the bags c to g that have been conventionally used have a double structure as described above, there is a problem that the structure is complicated and the cost is high.

Since the backrest bag body 10 is fixed to, the lower edge of the backrest bag body 10 can freely move and inflate while approaching the mounting portion 10b side. As a result, not only the front of the user's back supported by the backrest portion 3 but also the forward expansion force including a large amount of the upward expansion component is applied to the back of the user, so that the body is less likely to escape forward. At the same time, extend the spine from the bottom to the top. Moreover, since the backrest bag body 10 is inflated as described above,
The mounting portion 10b does not restrict the expansion of the backrest bag body 10, and the bag body 10 largely expands to press the back muscles of the user as described above.
