Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a massage device for muzzling the occiput and neck.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a treatment device such as a vibrator held by hand or a massage chair has been used to treat stiffness from the neck to the back of the head.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in the case of such a massage device, in the case of a vibrator, it is necessary to apply the vibrator to an affected part such as a neck, and in the case of a massage chair, a space for installing a massage chair is required. There is a disadvantage that it cannot be used in a state.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a massage device that can massage the back of the head from the neck muscles in a relaxed state of a bed, and does not take up space.

[Means for solving the problem]

The massage device of the present invention is for placing the back of the head, a first bag portion formed of a plurality of air bags arranged in the lateral direction of the back of the head, and abutting against the nape of the back, and having a plurality of airbags in the longitudinal direction of the nape. And a second bag portion composed of air bags arranged in a line. The compressed air is sent to the air bag of the first bag portion and the air bag of the second bag portion by an air pump, and the control means controls the expansion and contraction of each air bag.

[Action]

According to the configuration of the present invention, when the air pump is operated and the air bag of the first bag portion is inflated and contracted under the control of the control means, the back of the head is pushed up by the air bag or swings. When the air bag of the second bag portion is inflated and contracted, the air bag is pressed from the neck to the back of the head. Therefore, the massage of the back of the head from the nape of the neck can be performed in a relaxed state of the bed, and the space is not taken up.

〔Example〕

One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. That is, the massage device applied to this pillow includes a first bag 1, a second bag 2, an air pump 3
And control means 4.

The first bag portion 1 is for mounting the occipital region 10 and comprises a plurality of air bladders 5 and 6 arranged in the lateral direction of the occipital region 10. In the embodiment, for example, it is composed of a pair of air bags 5, 7 formed of a vinyl chloride or urethane material sheet or the like, and the central side of the occipital region 10 is lower than both sides so as to wrap the occipital region 10 in an inflated state. The height when the air bladders 5 and 6 are inflated is formed to be higher than the height of the air bladders 7 to 9 of the second bladder 2.

The second bag portion 2 comes into contact with the nape 11 and
It is composed of eleven air bags 7 to 9 arranged in the vertical direction. The air bladders 7 to 9 of the embodiment are formed in a gourd shape as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and the air bladder 7 reaches the back of the head.
These air bags 7 to 9 can be manufactured by forming the upper half 12 and the lower half 13 of a vinyl chloride or urethane material sheet, and welding the peripheral portion 14 together by high frequency welding. The first bag part 1 and the second bag part 2 are covered with a pillow cover 15.

The air pump 3 sends compressed air to the air bags 5, 6 of the first bag portion 1 and the air bags 7 to 9 of the second bag portion 2, and employs a known means. Reference numeral 16 denotes a piping tube for connecting the air bags 3 to the air pumps 3 through the pillow cover 15.

The control means 4 controls the air bladders 5, 6 of the first bladder 1 and the second bladder.
This controls the inflation and deflation of the air bladders 7 to 9 of the bladder 2 of FIG. In the embodiment, switching valves 17a to 17e, each of which has a three-way valve in each pipe tube 16, a control circuit 18 for controlling the switching valves 17a to 17e and the air pump 3, and an adjusting knob for adjusting the control circuit 18 19, which are incorporated in the control unit 21 together with the air pump 3. Reference numeral 20 denotes a plug for a power outlet. When an ON signal is output by the operation of the control circuit 18, the air pump 3 and the air bag 5
9, the switching valves 17a to 17e are opened, and the compressed air of the air pump 3 is sent to the switching valves 17a to 17e and further sent to the air bags 5 to 9 from the switching valves 17a to 17e. Swell. On the other hand, when an off signal is output from the control circuit 18, the air bags 5 to 9 and the air pump 3 are closed, and the switching valves 17a to 1a are closed.
The outlet provided in 7e is opened and the air in the air bags 5 to 9 is released to the atmosphere from the switching valves 17a to 17e, and the air bags 5 to 9 contract. Then, the air pump 3 and the switching valves 17a to 17e are controlled to designated operations by the control circuit 18. Further, the amount of air to the air bladders 5 to 9 is adjusted by an adjustment or 19 provided outside the control unit 21.

FIG. 6 shows the use state of the massage device, in which the air bladders 5 and 6 of the first bag portion 1 are inflated. In this state, FIG. 7A shows a state in which the air bag 7 on the back of the neck 11 is inflated,
FIG. 2B shows a state in which the air bladder 8 at the center of the neck 11 is inflated.
The air bladder 9 at the base of the neck in FIG. The order of these expansions is controlled by the control circuit 18,
In addition, the air bladders 7 to 9 are inflated to massage from the base of the nape 11 to the back of the head.

FIG. 7 shows a state in which the air bladders 5, 6 of the occipital region 10 are both contracted. FIG. 8A shows a state in which the air bag 6 is inflated, and FIG. 8B shows a state in which the air bag 5 is inflated. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the entire air bladders 5, 6 of the first bladder 1 are alternately inflated at regular time intervals to make the head move up and down. As shown in FIG.
6 are alternately inflated at regular intervals to cause the head to oscillate in the lateral direction, whereby the occipital region 11 is massaged.

6 to 8 of the air bladders 5 and 6 of the first bag portion 1 and the operation of FIG. 6 of the air bladders 7 to 9 of the second bag portion 2 at the same time. , From the base of the neck 11 to the back of the head
Massage effectively over 10

In this embodiment, the air pump 3 is operated and the control means 4 is operated.
When the air bladders 5 and 6 of the first bladder 1 are inflated and deflated by the above control, the occipital region 10 is pushed up by the air bladders 5 and 6 or swings. When the air bags 7 to 9 of the second bag portion 2 are inflated and contracted, they are pressed from the neck 11 to the back of the head 10. Therefore, in the relaxed state of the bed,
You can do 10 massages and save space.

When the bladders 7 to 9 are inflated by making the bladders 7 to 9 gourd-shaped, the occipital region 10 is stimulated from the nape of the nape 11 by two points on the left and right as shown in FIG. The pot part can be massaged.

In addition, the inner material of a general pillow such as a foam material is put in each of the air bags 5 and 6, and is configured to be the height of the general pillow when contracted, so that it is used like a general pillow when not massaging. be able to.

Furthermore, by incorporating a timer that stops after a predetermined time in the control circuit 18, it is possible to massage before sleeping and sleep as it is.

9 and FIG. 11 show that the convex portions 22 for pressing the pot are provided on the protruding portions of the air bags 7 to 9, and the pot portion of the neck 1 can be strongly stimulated to enhance the pot pressing effect. In addition, the convex portion 22 becomes smaller in the contracted state, and when not using massage, it does not cause discomfort even when used as a general pillow.

〔The invention's effect〕

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to the massage apparatus of this invention, it has the 1st bag part which consists of a plurality of air bags arranged in the lateral direction of the back of the head, and the 2nd bag part which consists of the air pillows which were arranged in the longitudinal direction of the neck. Therefore, there is an effect that the back of the head can be massaged from the nape of the neck in a relaxed state of the bed, and the space is not taken up.
