Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a massage belt. Background Art

[0002] Japanese Design Registration Gazette No. 1745983 discloses a conventional massage belt. The massage belt is detachably mounted on the vibrating portion of a massage device. The massage belt comprises a belt body, a mounting portion and a handle. The belt body is in the shape of a flat belt. One end of the belt body is connected to the mounting portion. The mounting portion is mounted on the vibrating portion of the massage device. The handle is connected to the other end of the belt body. The user of the massage belt holds the massage device with one hand and the handle with the other hand. Then, the user pulls the belt body in such a way that the belt body is in close contact with the part to be massaged, such as the waist, back or feet. In this state, the user drives the vibrating portion of the massage device. As a result, the massage belt vibrates in the direction in which the belt extends. In this way, the desired part of the user can be massaged.

[0003] The user of the massage belt disclosed in Japanese Design Registration Gazette No. 1745983 uses the belt while holding the handle at the other end of the belt body. At this time, the handle does not vibrate. Therefore, the vibration of the vibrating portion of the massage device propagates from one end of the belt body connected to the mounting portion mounted on the vibrating portion toward the other end of the belt body connected to the handle. The vibration gradually weakens from one end of the belt body toward the other end while propagating in the belt body. Therefore, there is a concern that the massage effect will be different between parts of the body part of the user of the massage belt that contacts the belt body. In addition, the user of the massage belt holds the massage device with one hand and the handle with the other hand during use. Therefore, if the belt body becomes loose due to the slackness of the force of either hand, the vibration cannot be well transmitted to the belt body. In this case, there is a concern that the massage effect cannot be obtained. Summary of the invention

[0004] The massage belt of the embodiment of the present disclosure is completed based on the above-mentioned existing situation. That is, the problem to be solved by this embodiment is to provide a massage belt that can perform massage well.

[0005] The massage belt disclosed in the present invention is a massage belt that can be detachably mounted on a vibration part of a massage device, and comprises: a belt body that is configured to be arranged in a ring shape in one use mode; and a mounting part that is configured to mount the belt body on the vibration part.

[0006] When using the massage belt, the user inserts the part to be massaged into the inner side of the belt body that is arranged in a ring shape. The user holds the massage device with one hand, makes the belt body abut against the part to be massaged, and moves the massage device away from the part to be massaged. As a result, the belt body is tightly attached to the part to be massaged by the user in a tensioned state. In this state, the user drives the vibration part of the massage device. In this way, massage can be performed. In this way, the user of the massage belt can easily make the belt body tightly attached to the part to be massaged in a tensioned state. Therefore, the ring-shaped belt body can make the entire belt body vibrate roughly evenly.

[0007] Therefore, using the massage belt of this embodiment, it is possible to perform massage well. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0023] The above-mentioned attachment part of the massage belt of this embodiment can connect both end parts of the above-mentioned belt main body. In this case, the ring-shaped belt main body can be connected to the attachment part of the massage belt.

[0024] At least one of the two ends of the belt body of the massage belt of this embodiment can be detachably connected to the mounting portion. In this case, the length of the annular portion of the massage belt can be easily adjusted by utilizing the detachable end of the belt body.

[0025] The mounting portion of the massage belt of this embodiment may also include a mounting portion body and a belt connection portion. When the mounting portion is mounted on the vibrating portion of the massage device, the mounting portion body extends along the vibration direction of the vibrating portion. In addition, at this time, the belt connection portion connects the two ends of the belt body in a manner that the two ends are arranged in the vibration direction. In this case, the massage belt can evenly transmit the vibration of the vibrating portion of the massage device to the two ends of the belt body.

[0026] The mounting portion of the massage belt of this embodiment has a belt connection portion that connects the end of the belt body. A through hole is formed in the belt connection portion. The end of the belt body is folded back through the through hole and overlaps with the belt body. At this time, the overlapping parts of the belt body can be detachably connected to each other by a surface fastener. In this case, the overlapping condition of the end of the belt body of the massage belt can be easily changed. Therefore, the length of the portion of the belt body that is erected in a ring shape can be easily adjusted.

[0027] In the massage belt of this embodiment, the handle can be connected to one end of the belt body removed from the mounting portion. In this case, when using the massage belt for massage, one can choose between a method of using the belt body in a ring shape without connecting the handle to the belt body and a method of using the handle connected to one end of the belt body.

[0028] A recess is formed in the vibrating portion to which the massage belt of the present embodiment is detachably mounted. The recess extends in the vibration direction and has an opening at the front end. In the shape of the cross section of the recess orthogonal to the vibration direction, the inner circumference of the recess is circular. The vibrating portion may include an internal thread portion disposed on the inner side of the recess, and a non-internal thread portion disposed on the opening side of the recess closer to the internal thread portion. Here, no thread is cut on the inner circumferential surface of the non-internal thread portion. In addition, the inner diameter of the non-internal thread is larger than the diameter of the root of the internal thread portion.

[0029] The mounting portion of the massage belt of the present embodiment has a mounting portion body. The mounting portion body is inserted into the recess, so that the mounting portion is mounted on the vibration portion. In this state, in the shape of the cross section of the mounting portion body orthogonal to the vibration direction, the outer periphery of the mounting portion body is circular. The mounting portion body includes an external threaded portion provided at the front end of the mounting portion body, and a non-external threaded portion provided at the rear of the external threaded portion. The external threaded portion is configured to be screwed into the internal threaded portion. No threads are cut on the outer peripheral surface of the non-external threaded portion. In addition, the outer diameter of the non-external threaded portion is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the external threaded portion, and slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the non-internal threaded portion. The axial length of the external threaded portion is shorter than the axial length of the non-internal threaded portion. The sum of the axial length of the external threaded portion and the axial length of the non-external threaded portion may also be longer than the axial length of the non-internal threaded portion. In this case, since the outer diameter of the external threaded portion is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the non-internal threaded portion, that is, there is almost no difference between the two, when the main body of the mounting portion of the massage belt is inserted into the recess of the above-mentioned vibration portion, the opening of the recess can be easily positioned by the outer peripheral surface of the front end of the external threaded portion and the inner peripheral surface of the non-internal threaded portion. In addition, before the external threaded portion of the main body of the mounting portion of the massage belt reaches the internal threaded portion of the vibration portion, the non-external threaded portion of the main body of the mounting portion is inserted into the non-internal threaded portion of the vibration portion. At this time, since the outer diameter of the non-external threaded portion is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the non-internal threaded portion, the outer peripheral surface of the non-external threaded portion moves along the inner peripheral surface of the non-internal threaded portion. Therefore, only by inserting the mounting portion into the recess of the vibration portion, the main body of the mounting portion can be moved to a position where the external threaded portion of the main body of the mounting portion can be screwed into the internal threaded portion of the vibration portion. In this way, according to the massage belt, the external threaded portion of the main body of the mounting portion can be easily screwed into the internal threaded portion of the vibration portion without visually confirming the position of the internal threaded portion of the vibration portion.

[0030] The massage belt of this embodiment may include an accessory having a convex portion detachably mounted on the belt body. In this case, the massage belt can be used in such a way that the convex portion of the accessory mounted on the belt body abuts against the part to be massaged. Thus, acupressure effect can be obtained.

[0031] Next, a specific example 1 of the massage belt according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0032] <Example 1>

[0033] like Figure 1 to Figure 7 As shown, the massage belt 1 of the first embodiment is detachably mounted on the vibration part 20 of the massage device 2. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the massage device 2 includes a main body 200 and a handle 210. The main body 200 is roughly cylindrical. The handle 210 is also roughly cylindrical. The outer diameter of the handle 210 is smaller than the outer diameter of the main body 200. One end of the handle 210 is continuous with the outer peripheral surface of the main body 200. The other end of the handle 210 is closed. The central axis of the main body 200 is orthogonal to the central axis of the handle 210.

[0034] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the main body 200 has a vibration part 20, which is arranged at one end of the central axis direction of the main body 200. The main body 200 has an electric motor and a control part not shown in the figure. The handle part 210 has a rechargeable battery not shown in the figure. The vibration part 20 vibrates by being driven by the electric motor. The control part controls the driving of the electric motor according to the operation of the button 201 described later. The rechargeable battery supplies power to the electric motor. The rechargeable battery can be charged from the outside via a charging cable not shown in the figure.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the main body 200 has a button 201, a charging display unit 202, and a level display unit 203. The button 201, the charging display unit 202, and the level display unit 203 are provided on the end surface that closes the other end of the central axis direction of the main body 200. The button 201 is used for the on-off operation of the power supply and the switching operation of switching the vibration frequency of the vibration unit 20 in stages. The charging display unit 202 displays the charge amount of the rechargeable battery. The level display unit 203 displays the level of the vibration frequency of the vibration unit 20.

[0036] like Figure 4As shown, the vibration part 20 is roughly cylindrical. One end of the cylinder is open. The outer diameter R1 of the vibration part 20 is, for example, 22 mm. The outer diameter of the main body 200 is, for example, about 3 times the outer diameter of the vibration part 20. The central axis of the vibration part 20 is consistent with the central axis of the main body 200. The vibration part 20 vibrates in the direction of the above-mentioned central axis. That is, the central axis of the vibration part 20 extends along the vibration direction of the vibration part 20. A recess 20A is formed in the vibration part 20. The recess 20A extends along the vibration direction and has an opening at the front end. In the shape of the cross-section of the recess 20A orthogonal to the vibration direction, the inner circumference of the recess 20A is circular.

[0037] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the vibration part 20 includes an internal thread part 21 and a non-internal thread part 23. The internal thread part 21 is arranged on the inner side of the recess 20A. The non-internal thread part 23 is arranged on the opening side of the recess 20A closer to the internal thread part 21, and is continuous with the internal thread part 21. The non-internal thread part 23 is a part where no thread is cut. The inner diameter of the non-internal thread part 23 is slightly larger than the diameter of the root of the internal thread part 21. The inner diameter R2 of the non-internal thread part 23 is, for example, 19.10 mm. The axial length L1 of the non-internal thread part 23 is, for example, 25 mm. The axial length L2 of the internal thread part 21 is, for example, 15 mm.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown, the massage belt 1 includes a belt body 10, a mounting portion 100 and a handle 300. The belt body 10 is in the shape of a flat belt. The width of the belt body is, for example, about 60 mm. A female surface fastener 11 is provided on the entire surface of one surface of the belt body 10. On one surface of the two ends of the belt body 10, a male surface fastener 12 is sewn on the female surface fastener 11. Each male surface fastener 12 is roughly rectangular. The length of one side of the rectangle is the same as the length of the belt body 10 in the width direction. Each male surface fastener 12 sewn overlaps the belt body 10 in a manner that one side thereof corresponds to the two end edges of the belt body 10 and does not leak out of the belt body 10.

[0039] like Figure 1 to Figure 7 As shown, the mounting portion 100 includes a mounting portion body 110 and a belt connecting portion 130. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the mounting body 110 is cylindrical. The mounting body 110 is integrated with the belt connection part 130 by a screw S. The mounting body 110 is rotatable around the central axis of the mounting body 110 relative to the belt connection part 130 .

[0040] The mounting portion body 110 includes an external thread portion 111, a non-external thread portion 113, and an insertion portion 115. The external thread portion 111 is provided at the front end of the mounting portion body 110. The external thread portion 111 can be screwed into the internal thread portion 21 provided in the vibration portion 20. In a state where the external thread portion 111 of the mounting portion body 110 is screwed into the internal thread portion 21 of the vibration portion 20, the central axis of the mounting portion body 110 coincides with the central axis of the vibration portion 20. That is, in a state where the mounting portion 100 is mounted on the vibration portion 20, the mounting portion body 110 extends along the vibration direction of the vibration portion 20.

[0041] The axial length L3 of the external threaded portion 111 of the mounting portion body 110 is, for example, 14 mm. The axial length L3 of the external threaded portion 111 is shorter than the axial length L1 of the non-internal threaded portion 23. The non-external threaded portion 113 is arranged to be rearward (with the connecting portion 130 side) of the external threaded portion 111 and is continuous with the external threaded portion 111. The non-external threaded portion 113 is a portion where no thread is cut. The axial length L4 of the non-external threaded portion 113 is, for example, 22 mm. The sum of the axial length of the external threaded portion 111 and the axial length of the non-external threaded portion 113 (L3+L4) is longer than the axial length L1 of the non-internal threaded portion 23.

[0042] The outer diameter R3 of the non-external threaded portion 113 is, for example, 18.80 mm. The outer diameter R3 of the non-external threaded portion 113 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the external threaded portion 111. The outer diameter R3 of the non-external threaded portion 113 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter R2 of the non-internal threaded portion 23 (for example, 0.30 mm). The inner diameter of the external threaded portion 111 is equal to the inner diameter of the non-external threaded portion 113. The inner diameter of the external threaded portion 111 and the inner diameter of the non-external threaded portion 113 are both slightly larger than the outer diameter of the washer W. When the mounting portion main body 110 and the belt connecting portion 130 are integrated, the washer W is clamped between the head of the screw S and the front end surface of the second shaft portion 131B of the belt connecting portion 130 described later.

[0043] The insertion portion 115 is arranged to be rearward of the non-external thread portion 113 and is continuous with the non-external thread portion 113. The outer diameter of the insertion portion 115 is larger than the outer diameter R3 of the non-external thread portion. An outer step portion 114A is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the boundary portion between the non-external thread portion 113 and the insertion portion 115. The external thread portion 111 of the mounting portion body 110 can be screwed into the internal thread portion 21 of the vibration portion 20 until the outer step portion 114A contacts the open end surface of the recess 20A formed in the vibration portion 20.

[0044] The inner diameter of the insertion portion 115 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the second shaft portion 131B described later of the belt connection portion 130. The inner diameter of the insertion portion 115 is smaller than the inner diameter of the non-external thread portion 113. An inner step portion 114B is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the boundary portion of the non-external thread portion 113 and the insertion portion 115. The mounting portion body 110 is integrated with the belt connection portion 130 by a screw S. The screw S is screwed into the front end surface of the second shaft portion 131B described later of the belt connection portion 130 through a washer W. The second shaft portion 131B is inserted into the insertion portion 115 and protrudes into the hollow of the non-external thread portion 113 of the mounting portion body 110. The mounting portion body 110 is freely rotatable around the second shaft portion 131B of the belt connection portion 130. If the mounting portion body 110 and the belt connection portion 130 continue to move in the direction of the center axis of the second shaft portion 131B and in a direction relatively away from each other, the inner step portion 114B contacts the washer W. This can prevent the attachment portion main body 110 and the belt connecting portion 130 from being separated.

[0045] like Figure 2 to Figure 6 As shown, the belt connecting portion 130 includes a shaft portion 131 and a belt connecting portion body 133. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the shaft portion 131 has a first shaft portion 131A and a second shaft portion 131B. The first shaft portion 131A is disc-shaped. The second shaft portion 131B is cylindrical and extends linearly from the center portion of one end surface of the first shaft portion 131A. The center axis of the first shaft portion 131A and the center axis of the second shaft portion 131B extend on the same straight line. In the first shaft portion 131A and the second shaft portion 131B, a lower hole 131H is formed on the center axis of the shaft portion 131 for screwing a screw S from the front end surface of the second shaft portion 131B toward the first shaft portion 131A. The center axis of the shaft portion 131 with the connecting portion 130 extends on the same straight line as the center axis of the mounting portion body 110.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the belt connecting portion body 133 is in the shape of a flat plate. Figure 3 As shown, in the front view, the belt connecting portion body 133 has a substantially hexagonal shape having a first side 133A to a sixth side 133F. In this front view, the belt connecting portion body 133 is arranged so that any one of the front and back surfaces of the belt connecting portion body 133 faces the vertical surface facing the front.

[0047] The first side portion 133A extends in a generally straight line in the long-side direction of the belt connecting portion body 133. The second side portion 133B and the third side portion 133C extend in a generally straight line and in parallel in the short-side direction of the belt connecting portion body 133. The second side portion 133B and the third side portion 133C have the same length. One end of the second side portion 133B is continuous with one end of the first side portion 133A. One end of the third side portion 133C is continuous with the other end of the first side portion 133A. The portion where the first side portion 133A and the second side portion 133B are continuous, and the portion where the first side portion 133A and the third side portion 133C are continuous are curved in a manner that bulges outward. Figure 3 In the example shown, the inner angle formed by the extension line of the straight-line extending portion of the first side 133A and the extension line of the straight-line extending portion of the second side 133B intersecting is 90 degrees. In addition, the inner angle formed by the extension line of the straight-line extending portion of the first side 133A and the extension line of the straight-line extending portion of the third side 133C intersecting is 90 degrees.

[0048] One end of the fourth side 133D is continuous with the other end of the second side 133B and extends in a generally straight line. One end of the fifth side 133E is continuous with the other end of the third side 133C and extends in a straight line. The fourth side 133D and the fifth side 133E have the same length. The portion where the second side 133B is continuous with the fourth side 133D and the portion where the third side 133C is continuous with the fifth side 133E are curved in a manner that bulges outward. Figure 3 In the example shown, the inner angle formed by the intersection of the extension line of the linearly extending portion of the second side 133B and the extension line of the linearly extending portion of the fourth side 133D is approximately 105°. The inner angle formed by the intersection of the extension line of the linearly extending portion of the third side 133C and the extension line of the linearly extending portion of the fifth side 133E is approximately 105°.

[0049] Both ends of the sixth side 133F are continuous with the other end of the fourth side 133D and the other end of the fifth side 133E, and extend in a straight line. The sixth side 133F is continuous with the other end face of the first shaft portion 131A. The sixth side 133F has the same length as the diameter of the first shaft portion 131A. In this way, the belt connecting portion body 133 is continuous with the other end face of the first shaft portion 131A and is formed integrally with the shaft portion 131.

[0050] The belt connecting portion body 133 is formed with a first through hole 135 and a second through hole 137 that extend in a slit-like manner along the longitudinal direction thereof. The first through hole 135 and the second through hole 137 extend in parallel with each other. Each through hole 135, 137 extends in parallel with the first side portion 133A. Each through hole 135, 137 extends in a direction orthogonal to the central axis of the mounting portion body 110. That is, each through hole 135, 137 is arranged in a row in the vibration direction. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the length of each through hole 135, 137 is longer than the width of the belt body 10. The width of each through hole 135, 137 is twice or more the thickness of the belt body 10.

[0051] exist Figure 2 In the example shown, the thickness of the belt connection part body 133 is about 1 / 3 of the outer diameter of the first shaft portion 131A. When viewed from above, the belt connection part body 133 extends from the other end face of the first shaft portion 131A to the portion where the first through hole 135 is formed in a direction orthogonal to the other end face of the first shaft portion 131A. When viewed from above, the belt connection part body 133 extends from the portion where the first through hole 135 is formed to the front end portion constituting the first side portion 133A in a direction slightly inclined relative to the direction orthogonal to the other end face of the first shaft portion 131A. Thus, in order to connect the two ends of the belt body 10 to the belt connection part body 133, even if the two ends of the belt body 10 pass through the first through hole 135, the two ends are not easy to bend. As a result, the vibration of the vibration part 20 can be well propagated to the two ends of the belt body 10.

[0052] like Figure 7 to Figure 9 As shown in FIG. 1 , the handle 300 includes a handle body 310 and a belt connection portion 330. The belt connection portion 330 is in the shape of a flat plate. Fig. 9 As shown, in the front view, the belt connection portion 330 is a generally longitudinally long quadrilateral shape having a first side 330A to a fourth side 330D. In this front view, the belt connection portion 330 is arranged in a manner such that any one of the front and back surfaces of the belt connection portion 330 is opposite to a vertical surface facing the front. The first side 330A extends in a generally straight line in the long side direction of the belt connection portion 330. The second side 330B and the third side 330C extend in a generally straight line and in parallel in the short side direction of the belt connection portion 330. The second side 330B and the third side 330C have the same length. One end of the second side 330B is continuous with one end of the first side 330A. One end of the third side 330C is continuous with the other end of the first side 330A. The portion where the first side 330A and the second side 330B are continuous, and the portion where the first side 330A and the third side 330C are continuous are curved in a manner that bulges outward. Fig. 9In the example shown, the inner angle formed by the extension line of the straight-line extending portion of the first side 330A and the extension line of the straight-line extending portion of the second side 330B intersecting is 90 degrees. In addition, the inner angle formed by the extension line of the straight-line extending portion of the first side 330A and the extension line of the straight-line extending portion of the third side 330C intersecting is 90 degrees. Both ends of the fourth side 330D are continuous with the other end of the second side 330B and the other end of the third side 330C. The fourth side 330D is joined to the outer side surface of the central portion of the connecting portion 313 of the handle body 310 and is bent.

[0053] The belt connecting portion 330 is formed with a slit-shaped through hole 331 extending in the longitudinal direction thereof. The through hole 331 extends parallel to the first side portion 330A. The length of the through hole 331 is longer than the width of the belt body 10. The width of the through hole 331 is at least three times the thickness of the belt body 10.

[0054] The handle body 310 has a gripping portion 311 and a connecting portion 313. The gripping portion 311 extends in a straight line and is roughly in the shape of a quadrangular prism. The central axis of the gripping portion 311 extends parallel to the through hole 331 of the belt connecting portion 330. On the surface of the gripping portion 311 on the belt connecting portion 330 side, five convex portions 315 are arranged in a wave shape in the direction along the central axis. The intervals between the vertices of each convex portion 315 are roughly equal. The height of the convex portions 315 at both ends is lower than the height of the three convex portions 315 located therebetween.

[0055] The connection portion 313 is substantially in the shape of a quadrangular prism and extends in a substantially arc shape, and is continuous with both ends of the grip portion 311. In the handle 300, a belt connection portion 330 is formed integrally with the connection portion 313 on the outer side surface of the central portion of the connection portion 313 of the handle body 310 (the outer side surface on the opposite side of the grip portion 311).

[0056] There are two ways to use the massage belt 1: a method of using the belt body 10 in a loop without connecting the handle 300 to the belt body 10, and a method of using the belt body 10 by connecting the handle 300 to the other end of the belt body 10.

[0057] When the belt body 10 is used in a loop, the massage kit is assembled as described below. First, one end of the belt body 10 is connected to the belt connection portion 130 of the mounting portion 100. Figure 2As shown, one end of the belt body 10 is passed through the first through hole 135 and the second through hole 137 in sequence. At this time, when the belt body 10 is set in a ring shape, the one end of the belt body 10 is passed through each through hole 135, 137 in such a manner that one surface of the belt body 10 provided with the female profile fastener 11 faces the outer direction of the above-mentioned ring. The male profile fastener 12 is sewn to the one end of the belt body 10 that has passed through the second through hole 137 and is folded back. The male profile fastener 12 overlaps with the one surface of the belt body 10 extending from the first through hole 135, on which the female profile fastener 11 is provided. In this way, the one end of the belt body 10 can be detachably connected to any part of the belt body 10.

[0058] Next, the mounting portion 100 is mounted on the vibration portion 20 of the massage device 2. Figure 5 As shown, by pinching the insertion portion 115 of the mounting portion main body 110, the external thread portion 111 and the non-external thread portion 113 can be inserted into the recess 20A of the vibration portion 20. At this time, since the outer diameter of the external thread portion 111 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter R2 of the non-internal thread portion 23, that is, there is almost no difference between the two, the outer peripheral front end of the external thread portion 111 and the inner peripheral surface of the non-internal thread portion 23 can be easily positioned in the opening of the recess 20A. In addition, before the external thread portion 111 of the mounting portion main body 110 reaches the internal thread portion 21 of the vibration portion 20, the non-external thread portion 113 of the mounting portion main body 110 is inserted into the non-internal thread portion 23 of the vibration portion 20. At this time, since the outer diameter R3 of the non-external thread portion 113 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter R2 of the non-internal thread portion 23, the outer peripheral surface of the non-external thread portion 113 moves along the inner peripheral surface of the non-internal thread portion 23. Therefore, the external thread portion 111 of the mounting portion main body 110 can be moved to a position where the external thread portion 111 can be screwed into the internal thread portion 21 of the vibration portion 20 .

[0059] After the external thread portion 111 of the mounting body 110 reaches the internal thread portion 21 of the vibrating portion 20, the mounting body 110 can be rotated clockwise while holding the insertion portion 115 of the mounting body 110. Figure 6 As shown, the external threaded portion 111 of the mounting body 110 is screwed into the internal threaded portion 21 of the vibration part 20 until the outer step portion 114A provided on the outer peripheral surface of the boundary portion of the non-external threaded portion 113 and the insertion portion 115 contacts the open end surface of the recessed portion 20A formed in the vibration part 20. After the outer step portion 114A contacts the open end surface of the recessed portion 20A, the mounting body 110 cannot be further rotated. Thus, the mounting part 100 is installed on the vibration part 20 of the massage device 2.

[0060] Next, the other end is connected to the belt connection portion 130 of the mounting portion 100. In detail, Figure 2As shown, the other end of the belt body 10 is passed through the first through hole 135. At this time, the other end of the belt body 10 is passed through the first through hole 135 in a manner that the belt body 10 erected in a ring shape is not twisted. A male surface fastener 12 is sewn to the other end of the belt body 10 that is folded back after passing through the first through hole 135. The male surface fastener 12 overlaps with a surface of the belt body 10 extending from the first through hole 135 on which the female surface fastener 11 is provided. In this way, the other end of the belt body 10 can be detachably connected to any part of the belt body 10. The folding position of the two ends of the belt body 10 can be changed according to differences in the physique of the user or differences in the parts to be massaged. In this way, the length of the ring-shaped part of the belt body 10 can be adjusted. In this way, the assembly of the massage kit when the belt body 10 is erected in a ring shape and used is completed. In addition, the order of assembly may not be the order described.

[0061] Next, a method for using the massage belt 1 by placing it in a ring shape will be described. Figure 10 to Figure 12 As shown, the user places the belt body 10 against the waist, back, or soles of the feet that the user wants to massage, and holds the handle 210 of the massage device 2 with one hand to move the massage device 2 away from the waist, back, or soles of the feet. As a result, the belt body 10 is in close contact with the waist, back, or soles of the feet, and is in a tensioned state. In this state, the user presses the button 201 of the massage device 2 to turn on the power of the massage device 2. In this way, the user can perform massage at a favorite vibration level.

[0062] When the handle 300 is connected to the other end of the belt body 10 for use, the massage kit is assembled as described below. As in the case where the belt body 10 is set in a ring shape for use, one end of the belt body 10 is connected to the belt connecting portion 130 of the mounting portion 100. Thus, the mounting portion 100 is mounted on the vibration portion 20 of the massage device 2.

[0063] Next, the other end of the belt body 10 is connected to the handle 300. In detail, Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the other end of the belt body 10 passes through the through hole 331 of the belt connecting portion 330 formed in the handle 300. A male surface fastener 12 is sewn to the other end of the belt body 10 that passes through the through hole 331 and is folded back. The male surface fastener 12 overlaps with a surface of the belt body 10 extending from the through hole 331 and provided with the female surface fastener 11. In this way, the other end of the belt body 10 can be detachably connected to any part of the belt body 10. The folding position of the two ends of the belt body 10 can be changed according to differences in the user's physique, etc., or differences in the parts to be massaged. In this way, the length of the belt body 10 to be used can be adjusted. In this way, the assembly of the massage kit for use with the handle 300 connected to the other end of the belt body 10 is completed.

[0064] The following describes a method of using the massage belt 1 by connecting the handle 300 to the other end thereof. The user places the belt body 10 against the shoulder, buttocks, calf, etc., which the user wants to massage, and holds the handle portion 210 of the massage device 2 with one hand, and holds the grip portion 311 of the handle 300 with the other hand, so that the belt body 10 is in close contact with the shoulder, buttocks, calf, etc. At this time, the belt body 10 is in a tensioned state. In this state, the user presses the button 201 of the massage device 2 to turn on the power of the massage device 2. In this way, the user can massage at a preferred vibration level.

[0065] As described above, the massage belt 1 of the first embodiment is detachably mounted on the vibration part 20 of the massage device 2. The massage belt 1 includes: a belt body 10 configured to be arranged in a loop in one use mode; and a mounting part 100 configured to mount the belt body 10 on the vibration part 20.

[0066] The part to be massaged can be placed inside the belt body 10 of the massage belt 1 which is arranged in a ring shape. The user holds the massage device 2 with one hand, presses the belt body 10 against the part to be massaged, and moves the massage device 2 away from the part to be massaged. As a result, the belt body 10 and the part to be massaged are in close contact and in a tensioned state. In this state, the user drives the vibration part 20 of the massage device 2. In this way, the user can perform a massage. As described above, according to the massage belt 1, the belt body 10 and the part to be massaged are easily in close contact and in a tensioned state. Therefore, the entire ring-shaped belt body 10 can be vibrated roughly evenly.

[0067] Therefore, the massage belt 1 of Example 1 can perform massage well.

[0068] The attachment portion 100 of the massage belt 1 of the first embodiment connects both ends of the belt body 10. Therefore, the massage belt 1 can connect the belt body 10 to the attachment portion 100 in an annular shape.

[0069] The both ends of the belt body 10 of the massage belt 1 of the first embodiment are detachably connected to the mounting portion 100. Therefore, the length of the portion of the belt body 10 which is laid in a loop can be easily adjusted by utilizing the detachable ends of the belt body 10 of the massage belt 1.

[0070] When the mounting portion 100 of the massage belt 1 of the first embodiment is mounted on the vibration portion 20 of the massage device 2, the mounting portion 100 includes a mounting portion body 110 extending in the vibration direction of the vibration portion 20, and a belt connecting portion 130 for connecting both ends of the belt body 10 in a manner aligned in the vibration direction. Therefore, the massage belt 1 can transmit the vibration of the vibration portion 20 of the massage device 2 to both ends of the belt body 10 in a balanced manner.

[0071] The attachment portion 100 of the massage belt 1 of the first embodiment has a belt connection portion 130 to which the ends of the belt body 10 are connected. The belt connection portion 130 is formed with a first through hole 135 and a second through hole 137. In a state where both ends of the belt body 10 are folded back and overlapped through the first through hole 135 and the second through hole 137, the overlapped portions of the belt body 10 are detachably joined by the surface fasteners 11 and 12. Therefore, according to the massage belt 1, the overlap of the ends of the belt body 10 can be easily changed. Therefore, the length of the portion of the belt body 10 that is laid in a loop can be easily adjusted.

[0072] The massage belt 1 of the first embodiment includes a handle 300 connected to the other end of the belt body 10 removed from the mounting portion 100. Therefore, when performing massage with the massage belt 1, one can select a method of using the belt body 10 in a loop without connecting the handle 300 to the belt body 10 or a method of connecting the handle 300 to the other end of the belt body 10.

[0073] A recess 20A is formed in the vibration part 20 for detachably installing the massage belt 1 of Example 1. The recess 20A extends along the vibration direction and has an opening at the front end. In the shape of the cross section of the recess 20A orthogonal to the vibration direction, the inner periphery of the recess 20A is circular. The vibration part 20 can include: an internal thread part 21, which is arranged on the inner side of the recess 20A; and a non-internal thread part 23, which is arranged on the opening side of the recess 20A than the internal thread part 21. Here, no thread is cut on the inner peripheral surface of the non-internal thread part 23. In addition, the inner diameter of the non-internal thread part 23 is larger than the diameter of the root of the internal thread part 21.

[0074] The mounting portion 100 of the massage belt 1 of Example 1 has a mounting portion main body 110. The mounting portion 100 is mounted on the vibration portion 20 by inserting the mounting portion main body 110 into the recess 20A. In this state, in the shape of the cross section of the mounting portion main body 110 orthogonal to the vibration direction, the outer periphery of the mounting portion 100 is circular. The mounting portion main body 110 includes: an external thread portion 111, which is arranged at the front end of the mounting portion main body 110; and a non-external thread portion 113, which is arranged behind the external thread portion 111. The external thread portion 111 is configured to be screwed into the internal thread portion 121. No threads are cut on the outer peripheral surface of the non-external thread portion 113. In addition, the outer diameter of the non-external thread portion 113 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the external thread portion 111, and slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the non-internal thread portion 23. The axial length of the external thread portion 111 is shorter than the axial length of the non-internal thread portion 23. The sum of the axial length of the external threaded portion 111 and the axial length of the non-external threaded portion 113 is longer than the axial length of the non-internal threaded portion 23. Therefore, since the outer diameter of the external threaded portion 111 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter R2 of the non-internal threaded portion 23, that is, there is almost no difference between the two, when the mounting portion main body 110 of the massage belt 1 is inserted into the recess 20A of the vibration portion 20, it can be easily positioned in the opening of the recess 20A by the outer peripheral surface of the front end of the external threaded portion 111 and the inner peripheral surface of the non-internal threaded portion 23. In addition, before the external threaded portion 111 of the mounting portion main body 110 of the massage belt 1 reaches the internal threaded portion 21 of the vibration portion 20, the non-external threaded portion 113 of the mounting portion main body 110 is inserted into the non-internal threaded portion 23 of the vibration portion 20. At this time, since the outer diameter of the non-external threaded portion 113 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the non-internal threaded portion 23, the outer peripheral surface of the non-external threaded portion 113 moves along the inner peripheral surface of the non-internal threaded portion 23. Therefore, only by inserting the mounting part into the recessed part 20A of the vibration part 20, the mounting part body 110 can be moved to a position where the external thread part 111 of the mounting part body 110 can be screwed into the internal thread part 21 of the vibration part 20. In this way, according to the massage belt 1, the external thread part 111 of the mounting part body 110 can be easily screwed into the internal thread part 21 of the vibration part 20 without visually confirming the position of the internal thread part 21 of the vibration part 20.

[0075] This embodiment is not limited to the embodiment 1 described in the above description and drawings. For example, the following embodiments are also included in the technical scope of this embodiment.

[0076] (1) Fig.13As shown, the massage belt 1 may also include an accessory 500. The accessory 500 includes a base portion 510 and a protrusion 520. The base portion 510 is flat and is roughly square in shape with one side having the same length as the width direction of the belt body 10. A male surface fastener is integrally provided on the back side of the base portion 510. Therefore, the accessory 500 can be detachably installed at any position on a surface of the massage belt 1 provided with the female surface fastener 11. The protrusion 520 is provided to protrude from the surface of the base portion 510. As shown in FIG. Fig.13 As shown, the shape of the protrusion 520 can be roughly hemispherical, truncated cone or conical. In addition, multiple protrusions can also protrude from the surface of the base 510. By attaching the accessory 500 to the massage belt 1, the protrusion 520 can be pressed against the part to be massaged. By using the massage belt 1 in this way, acupressure effect can be obtained.

[0077] (2) The width of the tape body is not limited to the width of the tape body in Example 1. For example, the width of the tape body may be about 1 / 2 to 2 times the width of the tape body in Example 1.

[0078] (3) The belt body may be in a form other than a flat belt. Fig.14 As shown in (A), the shape of the belt body may be a shape that meanders in the width direction. In this case, for example, the shape of the belt body may be made meander by providing continuous convex portions extending parallel to both end edges of a flat belt-shaped belt body having a width of 60 mm. In this case, the height of the convex portion may be set to 1 / 8 times the maximum width of the belt body. In addition, as Fig.14 As shown in (B), the form of the belt body may include, for example, a circular form with a diameter of 60 mm that is arranged in a connected manner in one direction.

[0079] (4) The convex portion may be provided on the surface of the belt body in a non-detachable state. In this case, a plurality of convex portions with a height of about 5 mm for anti-slip or finger pressure may be provided.

[0080] (5) A portion of the belt main body installed in an annular shape may be connected to the attachment portion.

[0081] (6) Only one end portion of the belt body may be detachably connected to the mounting portion.

[0082] (7) Both ends of the belt body may be connected to the mounting portion so as not to be aligned in the vibration direction. For example, both ends of the belt body may be connected so as to be aligned in a direction perpendicular to the vibration direction.

[0083] (8) Only one through hole may be formed in the belt connecting portion of the attachment portion, and the through hole and the end portion of the belt body may be connected via another member such as a metal fitting.

[0084] (9) In the belt body of the massage belt of Example 1, the portion of the belt body where both ends are folded back and overlapped is detachably joined by a surface fastener. Thus, the length of the belt body can be adjusted. In contrast, the length of the belt body can also be adjusted by other structures.

[0085] (10) The massage belt may not have a handle.

[0086] (11) The structure for attaching the mounting portion to the vibration portion is not limited to that of Embodiment 1. The dimensions of the vibration portion and the mounting portion are not limited to the numerical values ​​described in Embodiment 1. As long as the magnitude relationship of the respective dimensions is consistent, these numerical values ​​may be appropriately changed.
