Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a foot massager. More specifically, it relates to a massage tool for the sole of the foot in which the sole of the foot is massaged by a rotatable roller.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Bamboo treads, which are made by vertically splitting bamboo into a semicircular cross section, have been generally used as massagers for the soles of the feet. In addition, there is also known a massaging tool having a substantially semicircular cross section made of plastic or the like, which is provided with an uneven pattern for stimulating the acupoints on the soles of the feet. When using these bamboo treads, etc., place them on the floor, etc. with their bulging side up, and let the user stand on them or It is designed to push the sole of the foot with its own weight by performing a stepping motion on the.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the part that presses the sole of the conventional bamboo foot, etc. is not movable, the conventional bamboo foot has the effect of directly pressing and stimulating the sole of the foot, but the effect of rubbing the sole of the foot is It cannot be demonstrated. In addition, in the case of conventional bamboo trampling, etc., it is most effective to ride on the bamboo trampling, etc. and use it by multiplying it by its own total weight. Be restricted. The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention comprises a roller and a roller support member that rotatably supports the roller, and the roller has a substantially cylindrical shape, and a large number of annular projections are continuously formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof. To provide a massage tool for the sole of the foot (claim 1).

It is desirable that the annular protrusions are formed by alternately arranging gently protruding annular protrusions and sharply protruding annular protrusions (claim 2).

It is desirable to form an oblique cutout in the annular protrusion (claim 3).

Also, the present invention comprises a roller and a roller support member that rotatably supports the roller, the roller having a substantially cylindrical shape, and a plurality of axial projections formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof. The present invention also provides a foot sole massage tool (claim 4).

It is desirable to attach a permanent magnet to the annular protrusion or the axial ridge (claim 5).

It is preferable that the rollers are formed such that the diameter thereof gradually increases from the both ends toward the central part (claim 6).

[0010]

[Action]

 [Massage tool for soles of claim 1] When the massage tool for soles of claim 1 is used, for example, the massage tool is placed on a floor or the like, and the user is sitting on a chair or the like. Put the sole of the foot against the roller with and move the foot back and forth. At that time, the roller rotates, and the annular protrusion continuously formed on the outer peripheral surface continuously rubs and massages the sole of the foot.

[Insole Massager According to Claim 2] In the massager for soles of Claim 2, the annular projection alternates between the gently projecting annular projection and the sharply projecting annular projection. Since it is arranged on the back, the strength of the soles of the feet can be increased and decreased, and the massage effect is further enhanced.

[Sole Massager According to Claim 3] In the sole massager according to claim 3, since the notch in the oblique direction is formed in the annular protrusion, the sole is stimulated. Not only is it stronger, but the skin on the sole of the foot is twisted due to the notch, and the effect of rubbing the sole of the foot is further enhanced.

[A sole massager according to claim 4] In the sole massager according to claim 4, since a large number of axial protrusions are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the roller, A pleasant stimulus is given to the back, and a high massaging effect is obtained.

[Foot Massager of Claim 5] In the massager of the sole of the invention, since a permanent magnet is attached to the annular protrusion or the axial ridge, The magnetism of the permanent magnet can improve the circulation of blood on the soles of the feet.

[Sole Massager according to Claim 6] In the sole massager according to Claim 6, the rollers are formed such that the diameter thereof gradually increases from both ends toward the center. Therefore, the roller is more closely attached to the inside of the arch of the sole of the foot, and can effectively stimulate that portion.

[0016]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The foot massager according to the present invention comprises a roller 1 and a roller support 3 which rotatably supports the roller 1. In supporting the roller 1 on the roller support body 3 by rotation, the shaft 5 is projected at both ends of the roller 1, and the shaft 5 is rotated in the support hole 7 formed in the roller support body 3, for example. Fit freely. The roller 1 may be made of wood, but the roller 1 and the shaft 5 may be integrally formed of plastic. The reference numeral 9 in FIG. 1 represents the user's foot.

The roller 1 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and a large number of annular protrusions 11, 11, ... Are continuously formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof.

The annular protrusions 11, 11, ... Are gently protruding annular protrusions 11a, that is, large annular protrusions 11a having a protrusion angle a (see FIG. 2), and sharply protruding annular protrusions 11b, that is, protrusions. It is desirable to alternately arrange the small annular protrusions 11b having the angle b (see FIG. 2). In the case shown in FIG. 3, two rollers 1 are arranged at the front and rear.

It is desirable to form an oblique notch 13 in the annular protrusion 11. The notch 13 is formed in a direction inclined with respect to the circumferential direction of the annular protrusion 11.

The roller 1 ′ in the case shown in FIG. 7 has a large number of axial ridges 15, 15 ... Formed on its outer peripheral surface.

A permanent magnet 17 may be attached to the annular projection 11 or the axial projection 15. As shown in FIG. 6, it is desirable that the permanent magnet 17 be attached to the annular projection 11 or the axial projection 15 in a slightly protruding state.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the roller 1 (1 ′) is preferably formed such that the diameter gradually increases from the both end portions 1 a, 1 a toward the central portion 1 b. The roller 1 shown in FIG. 9 allows the user to massage both feet at the same time.

[0023]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, in the sole massager according to the present invention, since the roller is rotatable, the massage effect of rubbing the sole of the foot can be obtained. Moreover, since the roller is rotatable, the user can use the massage tool while sitting on a chair or the like. Therefore, not only is it possible to massage the soles of the feet while sitting on a chair or the like while working, studying, eating, etc., but also for those who are independent or have difficulty walking, the soles of the feet can be easily massaged. Can be done. When the sole massager of the present invention is used, the effect of stimulating the acupuncture points on the sole of the foot to improve blood circulation, as well as the effect of relieving fatigue and relieving stress, as in the case of gravel stepping, can be obtained.
