As described above, the opening / closing operation of the thumb holding plates 34 a and 34 b is interlocked with the movement of the opening / closing body 14. Therefore, in the above-described thumb clamping plate opening / closing mechanism, the opening / closing operation of the clamping plate for clamping the little finger to the index finger can be linked to the opening / closing operation of the thumb clamping plates 34a, 34b.

  Next, the operation of the finger massage device according to the present invention will be described using the finger massage device 100. First, in the standby state of the finger massage device 100, the pedestal 3 of the finger massage device 100 is in the upper position shown in FIG. At this time, the opening / closing body 14 is in the open position in the vicinity of the support shaft 12, and the first holding bar 10a and the second holding bar 10b are in the open state. Thereby, the 1st clamping board 30a and the 2nd clamping board 30b also take an open state. At this time, the second clamping plate 30b to the fourth clamping plate 30d are in an unloaded free state. When the opening / closing body 14 is in the open position, the rotating plate 44 does not press the thumb holding plates 34 a and 34 b, and the thumb holding plates 34 a and 34 b are maintained in the open state by the elastic force of the first spring 40.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the user inserts the tip of the little finger of the left hand between the first sandwiching plate 30a and the second sandwiching plate 30b of the finger massage device 80, and the fingertip of the ring finger is massaged for the finger. Insert between the second clamping plate 30b and the third clamping plate 30c of the device 80, insert the fingertip of the middle finger between the third clamping plate 30c and the fourth clamping plate 30d of the finger massage device 80, The fingertip is inserted between the fourth clamping plate 30d and the fifth clamping plate 30e of the finger massage device 80. Also, the fingertip of the thumb of the left hand is inserted between the thumb clamping plates 34 a and 34 b of the finger massage device 80. The insertion direction of the thumb at this time is the direction in which the left and right sides of the thumb are in the vertical direction, that is, the direction in which the thumb holding plates 34a and 34b are in contact with the buffer members 32, respectively.

  Similarly, the right hand of the user inserts the tip of the little finger of the right hand between the first sandwiching plate 30a and the second sandwiching plate 30b of the finger massage device 80 ', and the fingertip of the ring finger is inserted into the finger massage device.

Further, the fingertip of the thumb of the right hand is inserted between the thumb clamping plates 34a and 34b of the finger massage device 80 '.

  Next, the user pushes down the finger massage device 100 downward with each finger inserted. As a result, the pedestal 3 of the finger massage device 100 moves downward, the slider bar 16 contracts in the vertical direction, and the upper and lower ends of the slider bar 16 move rearward along the slide grooves 7a and 9a. . When the upper and lower ends on the back side of the slider bar 16 move to the back side, the opening / closing body sliding portion 24 installed at the upper end on the back side of the slider bar 16 moves to the back side along the opening / closing body guide groove 26. Thereby, the opening / closing body 14 moves toward the closed position on the back side. Since the opening / closing body sliding portions 24 of the finger massage devices 80, 80 'are connected by the connecting plate 28, the opening / closing body 14 of the finger massage devices 80, 80' moves in conjunction with each other.

  When the opening / closing body 14 moves to the back side, the back side of the first sandwiching bar 10a and the second sandwiching bar 10b is pushed and expanded. It turns to narrow. By the closing operation of the first sandwiching bar 10a and the second sandwiching bar 10b, the first sandwiching plate 30a and the fifth sandwiching plate 30e move in the direction of narrowing each other. Thereby, the user's little finger is pressed by the first clamping plate 30a and moves to the second clamping plate 30b side. Moreover, the 2nd clamping board 30b is indirectly pressed with a user's little finger, and presses a user's ring finger. Also, the user's ring finger is pressed by the second clamping plate 30b and is pressed by the third clamping plate 30c. The user's index finger is pressed by the fifth clamping plate 30e and moves to the fourth clamping plate 30d side. The fourth clamping plate 30d is indirectly pressed by the user's index finger and presses the user's middle finger. Further, the middle finger of the user is pressed by the fourth clamping plate 30d and pressed by the third clamping plate 30c.

  As a result, the fingertips of both the user's little fingers are sandwiched between the first sandwiching plate 30a and the second sandwiching plate 30b of the finger massage devices 80, 80 ', and the first sandwiching plate 30a and the second sandwiching plate 30b are buffered. It is compressed by the member 32. The fingertips of the user's ring fingers are sandwiched between the second sandwiching plate 30b and the third sandwiching plate 30c and are pressed by the buffer members 32 of the second sandwiching plate 30b and the third sandwiching plate 30c. Further, the fingertips of both middle fingers of the user are sandwiched between the third sandwiching plate 30c and the fourth sandwiching plate 30d and are pressed by the buffer members 32 of the third sandwiching plate 30c and the fourth sandwiching plate 30d. The fingertips of the user's forefinger are sandwiched between the fourth sandwiching plate 30d and the fifth sandwiching plate 30e and are pressed by the buffer members 32 of the fourth sandwiching plate 30d and the fifth sandwiching plate 30e.

  When the opening / closing body 14 moves to the back side, the lower end of the rotation plate 44 is pulled to the back side, and the rotation plate 44 rotates. When the rotating plate 44 rotates, both pressing portions 44a and 44b of the rotating plate 44 come into contact with the thumb holding plates 34a and 34b and press them in the closing direction. Thereby, the thumb clamping plates 34a and 34b are closed, and the left and right sides of the user's thumb are clamped from above and below. The buffer members 32 of the thumb holding plates 34a and 34b press the left and right sides of the user's thumb.

  The user stops the pressing of the pedestal 3 when the pinching pressure on the finger becomes appropriate. Thereby, the pinching pressure on the finger is maintained in an appropriate state.

  When the user's finger is pinched, a switch (not shown) is turned on, and the motor 52 of the driving means 50 rotates. The switch for operating the driving means 50 may be turned on and off by a user or a practitioner using, for example, a foot switch, but the position of the member involved in the clamping operation and the clamping pressure of the clamping plate are controlled. It is preferable to detect and automatically turn on / off.

  When the driving means 50 is operated and the motor 52 rotates, the rotational force of the motor 52 is transmitted to the crankshaft 11 through the reduction gear portion 54, whereby the crankshaft 11 rotates. When the crankshaft 11 rotates, each crankpin rotates, and the connecting rod 17 connected to the crankpin converts the rotating motion of the crankpin into the reciprocating linear motion (back and forth motion) of the first clamping plate 30a to the fifth clamping plate 30e. Communicate. Thereby, the first clamping plate 30 a to the fifth clamping plate 30 e move back and forth while pressing the user's little finger to index finger with the buffer member 32. At this time, since the first clamping plate 30a to the fifth clamping plate 30e are connected to the crank pins having different crank angles, the first clamping plate 30a to the fifth clamping plate 30e move back and forth at different timings. Thereby, the 1st clamping board 30a-the 5th clamping board 30e perform the massage operation | movement which grinds a user's little finger-index finger.

  Also, crank pins of different crank angles of the crankshaft 11 are inserted into the shaft holes 43 of the thumb clamping plates 34a and 34b, and the thumb clamping plates 34a and 34b cushion the user's thumb as the crankshaft 11 rotates. It moves back and forth at different timings while being compressed by the member 32. Thereby, the thumb clamping plates 34a and 34b perform a massage operation for grasping the user's thumb.

  As described above, the finger massage device according to the present invention can simultaneously massage a plurality of fingers. Thereby, finger massage can be performed effectively and efficiently. In particular, the finger massage devices 80 and 80 'can simultaneously massage five fingers of one hand. Thereby, finger massage can be performed more effectively and efficiently. Furthermore, the finger massage device 100 can simultaneously massage 10 fingers of both hands. Thereby, finger massage can be performed even more effectively and efficiently.
