Description

  The present invention relates to a small massage device that mainly relieves fatigue by applying vibrations around the eyes.

Conventionally, there are many massagers that obtain a massage effect by generating vibrations and pressing a part thereof against a human body. For example, the eye massager described in Patent Document 1 includes a spectacle-shaped adherend, a vibrating body, and a pad that abuts on the eye provided on the wearing body via a blade. By attaching the adherend of this massager to the head and vibrating the vibrating body, the pad vibrates through the blade and massages around the eyes.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a side view showing a small massage device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a front view of the small massager shown in FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. The small massage device 100 has a size that fits in the palm of a human hand and has an egg-shaped main body case 1, a storage portion 51 that stores a cold insulation material 50 provided in a part of the main body case 1, and FIG. 4. The housing 2 includes a lid 2 and a substrate 10 housed in the main body case 1. The main body case 1 preferably has a maximum diameter of 80 mm or less and 30 mm or more and a maximum diameter around the trunk of 60 mm or less and 20 mm or more.

  FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the substrate shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a side view thereof. On the substrate 10, there are provided a vibration motor 13 that is eccentric to the rotating shaft and provided with a weight, a battery case 12 that houses a button battery 18, and a switch 11 that turns vibration on and off. . The substrate 10 is fixed with screws 14 to the substrate support protrusion 7 protruding from the inside of the other case 1. Further, one side of the substrate 10 on the side where the vibration motor 13 is provided is inserted into the insertion portion 9 provided in the partition wall 8 of the storage portion 51 so that the vibration of the vibration motor 13 can be easily transmitted to the storage portion 51 side. Yes. The switch 11 is a push type, and a button protrudes from the side opposite to the storage portion 51 of the main body case 1.

  The main body case 1 is divided at the central portion. The dividing line 3 is formed substantially in the center of the main body case 1 and in a circumferential shape, and a strength switch 6 is provided along the dividing line 3 to adjust the strength of vibration. This strength switch 6 is slidable along a guide 5 provided along the dividing line 3. The strength switch 6 is connected to the substrate 10 by wiring (not shown).

  The lid 2 is dish-shaped and corresponds to a portion that becomes an egg-shaped tip portion. The lid 2 is screwed and detachable from the main body case 1. The storage portion 51 provided at the front end portion of the main body case 1 includes a front end portion of the main body case 1 and a partition wall 8 that separates the substrate storage portion 52 in the main body case 1. The storage unit 51 is completely sealed so that moisture does not enter the inside of the main body case 1, and even if the surface of the cold insulation material is condensed and water droplets are generated, this will not leak to other parts in the main body case 1. Absent. In this storage portion 51, a sol-like cold insulation agent and heat insulation material combined type (cold insulation material) sealed in a resin bag is stored. As the cold insulation material, a gel-like material may be used.

  When the sol-like or gel-like cold insulation material 50 is housed in the storage portion 51 and the lid 2 is covered with the storage portion 51, the cold insulation material is in close contact with the partition wall 8 and the back surface of the lid 2. When the cold insulation material is used in a cold state, it is put in a freezer for several tens of minutes. When it is used in a warm state, it is warmed for several seconds in a microwave oven.

  For example, as the cold insulation material, a highly water-absorbing polymer (acrylamide cross-linked product) or the like can be used.

  Next, the usage method of this small massage device 100 is demonstrated. First, the main body case 1 is divided along the dividing line 3, and the button battery 18 is inserted into the battery case 12. In use, the cold insulating material 50 is stored in the storage unit 51 in a cooled or warm state, and the lid 2 is attached to the main body case 1. The cold insulation material 50 is slightly crushed by the partition wall 8 and the back surface of the lid 2 in a state of being stored in the storage portion 51 and comes into contact with the inner surface of the storage portion 51. When the switch 11 is pressed in this state, the vibration motor 13 is driven, and the vibration is transmitted to the substrate support protrusion 7 and the insertion portion 9. In particular, the vibration transmitted to the partition wall 8 through the insertion portion 9 is the cold insulating material 50. Is transmitted from the partition wall 8 to the main body case 1 and the lid 2. In addition, the lid 2 and the surrounding main body case 1 are at the same temperature as the cold insulation material 50 by heat exchange with the cold insulation material 50.

  And the part of the lid | cover 2 is pressed on the site | part which wants to massage, for example, the circumference | surroundings of eyes. As a result, vibration is transmitted to the periphery of the eye and is cooled or warmed by the action of the cold insulating material 50. The strength of the vibration can be switched by a slide type strength switch 6 provided around the body case 1.

  According to the small massage device 100 described above, since it is small and has a built-in battery, it can be easily carried and used easily. Moreover, it is possible to massage while cooling or warming the massage target part. Furthermore, since this small massage device 100 is an egg shape composed of a curved surface as a whole, it is easy to hold in the hand.

  Although not shown, the cold insulation material 50 may be fitted into the storage portion 51 so that the cold insulation material 50 protrudes from the tip of the main body case 1 without using the lid 2. In this way, it is possible to perform massage by directly pressing the cooled or warmed cold insulation material 50 against the massage target part. In this case, the cold insulating material 50 may be detachable or may be fixed to the storage unit 51. When the cold insulation material 50 is pressed directly against the massage target part, the vibration motor 13 vibrates the cold insulation material 50 almost directly through the insertion portion 9 and the partition wall 8, so that the massage can be performed with mild vibration. .
