Embodiment Construction

[0016] A foot massager according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. figure 1 The chair type massage machine 1 provided with the foot massage machine 2 of this invention, and the person (user) M who sits on the seat part 11 are shown. The foot in the present invention refers to the position from the calf to the toe. The chair-type massage machine 1 has a massage machine 3 for massaging the shoulders and back of a user M inside a backrest 10 . The foot massager 2 is connected to the front end of the seat 11 of the massager 1 through a shaft 29 so that the main body of the foot massager 2 can be rotated by its rotation. A telescopic actuator 5 is provided as a rotation drive mechanism for rotating the main body of the foot massager 2 . The foot massager 2 has the function of a footstool (leg resting platform).

[0017] Such as figure 2 As shown, the foot massager 2 has grooves 29 respectively accommodating portions of ...

Abstract

A leg massage machine (2), which comprises massage-airbags (20-23) which are expansible and shrinkable and which are used to massage a human calf, a stretch-airbag (25) which is expansible and shrinkable and which pushes the bottom of a foot front half during its expanding stage, and a control unit (C) which controls the massage motion and the stretch motion of the massage-airbags (20-23) and stretch-airbag (25) by expanding and shrinking them. The control unit (C) makes the stretch-airbag (25) expand after making the expansion of the massage-airbag (23) near to the ankle region among the massage-airbags (20-23) at the time to start the stretch motion. By this configuration, the stretch-airbag (25) is expanded after holding the ankle in its position by using the expanded massage-airbags (23), and thus the user's heel is not lifted off during stretching and the stretch of the Achilles' tendon can be reliably performed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a foot massager, in particular to a foot massager which is freely rotatably installed at the front end of a seat of a chair and has an air bag which can expand and contract freely. Background technique [0002] Foot massage machines for massaging calves etc. by expanding and contracting air bags are well known.
