[0005] The inventions and products of Patent Documents 1 and 2 and Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2 make it possible to massage the back and shoulders. However, a massage gun user must hold the massage gun in their hand and press it against their body, or press their body against a fixed massage gun. Therefore, compared to receiving a back massage from another person, the user's hands, arms and shoulders are tense, causing the upper body to relax and not be in a relaxed state.

[0006] To provide a massage device according to the present invention, which enables a user to massage his / her own back and shoulders while relaxing his / her upper body and without exerting force on his / her arms and shoulders. Another object of the present invention is to provide a holder that enables use of many of the many types of massage guns available on the market. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the invention described in claim 1 is a massage gun holder having one end of a holding portion that removably holds a massage gun, and one end of a horizontal holding portion that is provided at the other end of the holding portion in a direction approximately perpendicular to the vibration direction of the massage gun, and one end of a vertical holding portion that is provided at the other end of the horizontal holding portion in a direction approximately parallel to the vibration direction of the massage gun.

[0008] According to the invention described in claim 1, the other end of the vertical holding part is provided with a fulcrum part that supports the vertical holding part in a direction substantially parallel to the vibration direction of the massage gun. The tip of the vibration part of the massage gun and the tip of the fulcrum part have a predetermined height difference in the vibration direction of the massage gun.

[0009] If the user lies face down on the floor or on a table, the massage can be performed in a relaxed state with the user's muscles relaxed. Furthermore, it is more effective if the vibration part of the massage gun is perpendicular to the affected area. For this reason, if there is a height difference between the vibration part and the fulcrum part that is approximately the thickness of the upper body, an effective massage can be performed in a relaxed state. The predetermined height difference may preferably be of a plurality of different types since the thickness of the upper body varies depending on the physique of the user. For example, there may be different height sizes such as S, M, L, 2L, and 3L. For example, for a medium size, the measurement may be approximately 20 cm ± 5 cm. Furthermore, the vertical holding portion may be made adjustable in length, or may be detachably divided at one or more locations so as to be replaceable with a vertical holding portion of a different length. Furthermore, the angle of the joint between the horizontal support portion and the vertical support portion may be changeable in order to adjust the height difference.

[0010] According to the invention described in claim 1, the horizontal holding portion has a predetermined length. In order to massage the entire back while lying face down on the floor or on a table with the upper body relaxed and in a relaxed state, the horizontal holding portion needs to have a certain length. The specified length is determined by the length of the upper body in the height direction, depending on the user's physique. It would be nice to have several different lengths available. For example, there may be different lengths such as S, M, L, 2L, and 3L. For example, for a medium size, it may be approximately 45cm±10cm. Furthermore, the horizontal holding portion may be made adjustable in length, or may be detachably divided at one or more locations so as to be replaceable with a horizontal holding portion of a different length. The user may also place a relaxed arm or hand on the horizontal holding portion. This allows the massage intensity to be adjusted. The massage gun holder has the strength and rigidity to allow massage even with this level of load.

[0011] According to the invention recited in claim 2, the gripping portion and / or the horizontal holding portion can bear a predetermined load. Generally, the strength of the effect of a massage gun is adjusted by the direction of vibration of the massage gun and the force with which the user presses the handle. However, in the present invention, the massage gun is not held by hand, and the predetermined load serves as a substitute for the force exerted by the hand on the massage gun. Since users have different preferences for strength and weakness, it does not matter whether the load is applied or not. The load may be the user's arm or hand, or other weight. The loading location is inside or outside the horizontal holding portion, or outside the gripping portion.

[0012] According to the invention recited in claim 2, the vibration section and the fulcrum section support the weight of the massage gun, the weight of the massage gun holder, and the predetermined load that can be supported. The user of the massage gun holder can support the massage gun holder not only with his / her hand but also with the thigh, upper body, desk, floor, armrest of a chair, etc. by placing the fulcrum on the hand, and can relax and enjoy a massage. The support portion may be made of a non-slip material so that it does not slide on a desk or the like. The support portion may be made of a soft material so that it is supported by the thighs or upper body.

[0013] In order to solve the above problem, the invention described in claim 3 has a function in which the gripping portion and / or the horizontal holding portion have the ability to attach and detach a weight, and / or the weight can be increased or decreased, and / or the weight can be moved. The strength of the massage gun's effect can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the weight instead of by adjusting the pressure applied by the handle. Also, the strength of the massage gun's effect can be adjusted by moving the weight closer to or further away from the grip. The force used to press the massage gun varies from person to person and also depends on the part of the body being massaged, so the weight can be increased or decreased from no weight to the weight that maximizes the massage effect. The weight can be placed inside or outside the horizontal holding portion or outside the gripping portion.

[0014] In order to solve the above problem, in the invention described in claim 4, the grip portion has a pipe-like structure, and the pipe-like structure holds a part of the massage gun. A fixing device is provided to fasten the grip portion and the massage gun together to prevent them from slipping apart.

[0015] According to the invention described in claim 4, the housings of many massage guns on the market are roughly cylindrical in shape. Therefore, the gripping part has a pipe-like structure and is made of an elastic body, so that it can grip massage guns of different sizes and prevent the gripped massage gun from slipping. This allows the use of massage guns of various shapes. In addition, the vibration of the massage gun may cause the gripping portion to resonate. To avoid this resonance phenomenon, the gripping portion of the massage gun housing may be made of a material that absorbs vibrations.

[0016] The invention described in claim 5 further comprises a mechanism that makes it possible to change the angle of the joint between the horizontal support part and the vertical support part in order to adjust the height difference between the vibration part and the fulcrum part. Moreover, claim 6 relates to a massage gun in which the massage gun holder and the massage gun are integrated together.

[0017] The massage gun holders of claims 1 to 5 and the massage gun of claim 6 are large in size. Therefore, it is preferable to make it compact so that it can be stored and transported easily.The vertical holding portion or the horizontal holding portion may be separated so as to be detachable. It may also be possible to make it foldable by folding it in half. Effect of the Invention

[0018] With just one massage gun, you can massage your entire body, including your shoulders and back, in a relaxed state, which is helpful in improving your health and is expected to make a significant contribution to your well-being. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] A massage gun holder 1 according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0021] In recent years, the effectiveness of massage guns has become widely known, and massage guns of many designs are now on the market. However, due to constraints such as easy-to-use weight and shape, and battery life, the shape and weight of massage guns have come to be limited to a certain range. Massage guns can be broadly divided into two types based on their shape and weight: the small massage gun 10 shown in FIG. 1 and the large massage gun 15 shown in FIG.

[0022] The massage gun holder 1 supports the entire weight applied to the massage gun 10 and the massage gun holder 1 via the vibration part 11 and the fulcrum part 32 of the massage gun 10 so that the user can relax and enjoy the massage. The massage gun holder 1 pivots around the fulcrum 32. The fulcrum 32 also slides. This allows the massage position to be easily changed. The massage gun holder 1 may be lightweight and easy to handle. Furthermore, the grip portion 20 allows the use of massage guns of a wide variety of designs. In order to achieve a massage effect deep into the affected muscles, the user places a relaxed arm or hand on the horizontal holding part 30 and utilizes the weight of the arm or hand, or attaches a weight 40. For this purpose, it is preferable that the massage gun holding tool 1 has a certain degree of elasticity, rigidity, and strength. The material constituting the massage gun holder 1 has a certain degree of elasticity, rigidity and strength, and is preferably made of, for example, synthetic resin, metal, wood or bamboo.

[0023] Therefore, in this embodiment, the entire structure is pipe-shaped. As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the grip of the small massage gun is inserted into the pipe-shaped grip, and two places are fastened with fastening and slippage prevention fixture 22 to prevent slippage. Fastening and slippage prevention fixture 22 may be a hook-and-loop fastener or belt that can be easily attached and removed. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the grip portion of the large massage gun 15 is inserted and two points are fastened to prevent it from slipping. The massage gun and the massage holder may be fixed together.

[0024] Since the horizontal holding portion has a pipe-like structure, a weight for loading can be placed inside the pipe. The force pressing the vibration portion is small with only the weight of the small massage gun 11 in the grip portion. Therefore, the minimum necessary weight may be placed inside the horizontal holding portion, and weights exceeding the minimum necessary weight may be adjusted outside the horizontal holding portion.

[0025] The grip portion 20 of the massage gun holder 1 according to the embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. When the grip portion of the small massage gun 10 is inserted into the grip portion 20, the massage gun vibration portion guide 12 stops at the slip prevention portion 25. Then, the grip portion of the small massage gun 10 is gripped by the upper elastic body 23 that grips the small massage gun 10 and the lower elastic body 24 that grips the massage gun.

[0026] Thereafter, the upper elastic body 23 and the lower elastic body 24 are fastened together by the fastening and slippage prevention fixture 22 to prevent slippage.

[0027] The direction in which the elastic upper body 23 and the elastic lower body 24 grip is perpendicular to the vibration direction of the massage gun, and they have a predetermined elastic deformation performance in that direction. The upper elastic body 23 and the lower elastic body 24 have a predetermined rigidity and strength in the vibration direction. The material constituting the upper elastic body 23 and the lower elastic body 24 has a predetermined elasticity, rigidity and strength, and is preferably made of, for example, synthetic resin, metal, wood or bamboo.

[0028] The lower elastic body portion 24 is continuous with the upper elastic body portion 23, but the positions of the slits and the number of slits are different. In order to be able to grip as many different types of massage guns as possible, which come in a wide variety of shapes, the upper elastic body portion 23 is provided with two slits, but one or more slits may be sufficient. The difference in the position of the slits between the lower elastic body 24 and the upper elastic body 23 is to provide a slippage prevention portion 25 .

[0029] The weight 40 of the massage gun holder and the holder 41 that holds the weight according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0030] Generally, the massage gun is held in the hand and the intensity of the massage is adjusted by pressing the vibration unit 11 against the affected area using the weight of the arm or hand or by pushing it. In the massage gun holder 1, a weight 40 is fastened near the grip 20 with a fastening and slip-prevention fixture 41. By increasing or decreasing the weight of the weight 40, and by positioning the weight 40 closer to the grip or closer to the farther vertical holding part 31, the force with which the vibration part 11 is pressed against the affected area can be adjusted. The weight may be metal, metal slabs, iron filings, sand, gravel, clay, liquid, or the like. A belt-like weight may be wrapped around the device. The fastening and slip prevention fixture 41 may be a large belt or a large hook-and-loop fastener that wraps around the entire weight. It may also be made of a material that holds the weight in place with an elastic body like a wide rubber band, for example, made of synthetic resin or metal.

[0031] 10 is provided with a holder 42 for holding weights to make it easy to increase or decrease the weight. For example, the weight can be adjusted by putting sand or the like in a plastic bottle and adjusting the amount. In this embodiment, in order to maintain balance, weights are placed on both sides of the horizontal holding part 30 as the center line.

[0032] A weight may be detachably installed inside the pipe of the horizontal holding part 30 so that it can be increased or decreased. Generally, the weight of the massage gun alone does not provide a sufficient massage effect, so a certain weight may be placed inside the pipe near the weight 40. Furthermore, the fulcrum part 32 is detachable from the vertical holding part 31, and excess weight not used for loading may be stored inside the pipe of the vertical holding part. EXAMPLES

[0033] A method of using the massage gun holder 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0034] FIG. 11 shows a case in which the user is lying face down in a relaxed, relaxed position with the fulcrum 32 placed on the floor and receiving a back massage. In order for the user to place his / her upper body so that the vibration direction of vibration part 11 of the massage gun holder is approximately perpendicular to the user's back, there must be a certain height difference between vibration part 11 and fulcrum part 32 in the vibration direction.

[0035] FIG. 12 shows a case in which the user is sitting in a relaxed position with his / her muscles relaxed, with the fulcrum portion 32 placed on a table, and the shoulders being massaged. In order for the vibration direction of the vibration part 11 of the massage gun 10 to be approximately perpendicular to the shoulder of the user, there needs to be a certain height difference between the vibration part 11 and the fulcrum part 32 in the vibration direction.

[0036] The height difference allows the user to easily move his / her body and also allows the massage gun holder 1 to rotate around the fulcrum portion 32. The fulcrum of the massage gun holder 1 slides and rotates, and the user's body moves, allowing the affected area to be massaged accurately.

[0037] A method for adjusting the force with which the vibration unit 11 is pressed against the back or shoulders of the user will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0038] By increasing or decreasing the weight 40, the force with which the vibration unit 11 is pressed against the affected area of ​​the user can be adjusted.

[0039] By placing one hand and / or arm 101 on the holding part 30 in a relaxed state, the load 94 increases, and the force pressing the vibration part 11 against the affected part of the user increases. A loop-shaped string or the like may be attached to the holding portion 30, and one hand and / or arm 101 may be hung thereon in a relaxed state.

[0040] When one hand and / or arm 101 is placed on the holding part 30 in a relaxed state and the vibration part 11 is pressed against the affected area, the massage gun holding tool 1 becomes difficult to move. Then, the vertical holding part 31 is pushed out with the other hand 102 in a direction approximately perpendicular to the vibration direction of the vibrating part 11. Then, due to the difference in height between the vibrating part 11 and the fulcrum part 32 in the vibration direction, a bending moment 95 is generated at the inflection point of the holding part 30 by a force 93 pushing out the vertical holding part 31. This bending moment increases the force pressing the vibration section 11 against the affected area of ​​the user. The force pressing the vibration section 11 against the affected area of ​​the user can be adjusted by varying the strength of the force 93 pushing out the fulcrum section 32.

[0041] In summary, the force pressing the vibration unit 11 against the user's back and shoulders can be finely adjusted by various combinations of the following four methods: (1) increasing or decreasing the weight 40, (2) moving the installation position of the weight 40, (3) adjusting the load on one hand and / or arm 101, and (4) the bending moment generated by the force 93 pushing out the fulcrum. As a result, the user of this embodiment can have his or her shoulders and back massaged with the upper body relaxed and in a relaxed state, with almost no effort put into the arms or hands.

[0042] FIG. 11 shows an example of a back massage in a prone position, and FIG. 12 shows an example of a shoulder massage in a seated position. Although not shown in the figure, it is also possible to massage the back while in a seated position. In this case, since the massage gun holder 1 is supported by the user's hands, the user cannot fully relax his / her hands and arms.

[0043] Additionally, a function for folding the massage gun holder 1 can be added to the horizontal holding part 30 to facilitate storage. Furthermore, the horizontal holding part 30 or the vertical holding part 31 may be detachable and divided into two or more parts. A weight 40 may be attached to the part of the horizontal holding portion 30 where the grip portion 20 is located, and massage may be performed.

[0044] Furthermore, the vertical holding portion 31 or the fulcrum portion 32 may be provided with a structure that allows the massage gun holding tool 1 to stand on its own without being touched by the user. [Explanation of symbols]
