Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a massage machine. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there are known neck massagers that massage the back of the neck of a user. For example, in the neck and shoulder massager of Patent Document 1, a roughly U-shaped massage body is placed around the neck and shoulders, and a massage can be performed on the back of the neck and both shoulders of the user with a vibrating body.

[0003] In addition, in a typical neck massager, the user holds both ends of the massager around the neck with both hands and presses the treatment part against the part to be treated, such as the back of the neck. On the other hand, the neck massager can also be used to treat parts to be treated other than the neck (for example, the lower back). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2002-685 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the distance between the user's hands holding the neck massager and the part to be treated varies depending on the part to be treated. For example, when the part to be treated is the lower back, the distance between the two is closer than when the part to be treated is the back of the neck. Therefore, when treating the lower back, the user needs to push the hands holding the neck massager forward. Therefore, there is a risk that the user cannot press the treatment part against the part to be treated in a comfortable position.

[0006] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to enable a treatment portion to be firmly pressed against a treatment site while allowing the user to take a comfortable posture. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, a massage machine according to one aspect of the present invention includes a treatment section for treating a user, a treatment device section on which the treatment section is mounted, a pair of gripping sections that can be held by the user, a pair of belt-shaped connecting sections that extend from both ends of the treatment device section and are connected to the gripping sections, and a mounting section that is disposed on each of the gripping sections and can be attached to a target member. The mounting sections have an engaging section that can be engaged with the target member.

[0008] Further features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following embodiments. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, the treatment portion can be firmly pressed against the area to be treated while in a comfortable position. [Brief description of the drawings]

Note that in FIGS. 3A and 3B, in order to make the drawings easier to see, an attachment portion 6, which will be described later, is omitted from the illustration.

[0013] In the following description, the front side (front face side) as viewed from the user U using the massage machine 100 is referred to as the "front", and the rear side (back side) as viewed from the user U is referred to as the "rear". Also, as viewed from the user U using the massage machine 100, the vertically upward (head side) is referred to as the "upper side", and the vertically downward (leg side) is referred to as the "lower side". Also, as viewed from the user U using the massage machine 100, the right side is referred to as the "right side", and the left side is referred to as the "left side". Also, in Figures 3A to 3E, the symbol F indicates the front, and the symbol B indicates the rear. The symbol U indicates the upward side, and the symbol D indicates the downward side. The symbol R indicates the right side, and the symbol L indicates the left side.

[0014] <1. Massager 100> As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the massage machine 100 of this embodiment includes a treatment section 1, a treatment device section 2, a pair of connecting sections 3L, 3R, and a pair of gripping sections 4L, 4R. The massage machine 100 of this embodiment also includes a pair of mounting sections 5L, 5R. The massage machine 100 also includes a pair of attachment sections 6L, 6R. Details of the attachment sections 6L, 6R will be described later. In the following, the pair of connecting sections 3L, 3R may be collectively referred to as "connecting section 3", and the pair of gripping sections 4L, 4R may be collectively referred to as "grip section 4". The pair of attachment sections 5L, 5R may be collectively referred to as "attaching section 5". The pair of attachment sections 6L, 6R may be collectively referred to as "attaching section 6".

[0015] The treatment unit 1 treats the person U. In this embodiment, the treatment unit 1 is composed of a kneading ball device having kneading balls 11 and a drive mechanism 12 that drives the kneading balls 11. The kneading ball device performs a pressing action, a kneading action, a tapping action, etc., with the kneading balls 11 on the part of the person U to be treated that the treatment unit 1 touches. However, the configuration of the treatment unit 1 is not limited to this example. For example, the treatment unit 1 may be a roller device in which a roller moves in the up-down or left-right direction while pressing the part to be treated. Alternatively, the treatment unit 1 may be an inflatable and deflated airbag. Alternatively, the treatment unit 1 may be a vibration device that transmits vibration to the part to be treated.

[0016] The treatment unit 1 may further include a heater (not shown) disposed at a contact portion with the treatment site. The heater can be disposed, for example, on the contact surface with the treatment site or between the contact surface and the treatment unit 1, and can warm the treatment site.

[0017] The treatment device section 2 is equipped with the treatment section 1. For example, the treatment device section 2 has a housing 21, an exterior section 22, and a mesh section 23. The housing 21 has a shape having a longitudinal direction and holds the treatment section 1. The exterior section 22 is, for example, cloth or artificial leather, and covers the treatment section 1 and the housing 21. The mesh section 23 is a mesh material having breathability and elasticity, and is disposed on the exterior section 22 in the portion in contact with the treatment site.

[0018] The connecting portion 3 is belt-shaped and extends from both ends of the treatment device unit 2 and is connected to the grip portion 4. For example, each connecting portion 3 is deformable and extends from both ends in the longitudinal direction of the treatment device unit 2. Each connecting portion 3 is formed of a belt-shaped member 3a such as cloth or artificial leather. Each connecting portion 3 connects an end of the treatment device unit 2 to the grip portion 4. For example, the left connecting portion 3L extends from the left end of the treatment device unit 2. One end of the left connecting portion 3L is connected to the left end of the treatment device unit 2. The other end of the left connecting portion 3L is connected to the left grip portion 4L. In addition, the right connecting portion 3R extends from the right end of the treatment device unit 2. One end of the right connecting portion 3R is connected to the right end of the treatment device unit 2. The other end of the right connecting portion 3R is connected to the right grip portion 4.

[0019] The gripping portion 4 can be held by the user U. The gripping portion 4 has a first annular portion 41 and a second annular portion 42. When the user is to have the massage machine 100 treat a rear part of the neck, the user grips the second annular portion 42 (see FIG. 3A, for example). When the user is to have the massage machine 100 treat a rear part of the waist, the user grips the first annular portion 41 (see FIG. 3B, for example). Since the gripping position can be changed depending on the part to be treated, the user can receive treatment from the massage machine 100 in a comfortable position. The detailed configuration of the gripping portion 4 will be described later.

[0020] The attachment portion 5 is disposed on the connecting portion 3 and can attach the treatment tool 200. The treatment tool 200 may be a component of the massage machine 100 or may not be a component of the massage machine 100. That is, the massage machine 100 may be provided with the treatment tool 200 in advance, or a desired treatment tool 200 may be attached. In this embodiment, the treatment tool 200 is a sphere such as a golf ball. However, the treatment tool 200 is not limited to this example. Preferably, the treatment tool 200 is hard and has a shape with protrusions. Alternatively, the treatment tool 200 may be a small kneading ball device, a roller device, a vibration device that transmits vibrations to the treatment site, or an inflatable and deflated airbag.

[0021] 2, in this embodiment, the mounting portion 5L is disposed in the connecting portion 3L, and the mounting portion 5R is disposed in the connecting portion 3R. However, this is not limited to this example, and of the mounting portions 5L and 5R, only the mounting portion 5L may be disposed, or only the mounting portion 5R may be disposed.

[0022] <2. Control system of massage machine 100> Next, a configuration example of the control system of the massage machine 100 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing the control system of the massage machine 100.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 4, the massage machine 100 further includes an operation unit 101, a storage unit 102, a control unit 103, a drive circuit 104, and a power supply unit 105.

[0024] The operation unit 101 receives an operation input by the person to be treated U or the like, and outputs a signal based on the operation input to the control unit 103. In this embodiment, the operation unit 101 is disposed in the treatment device unit 2. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the operation unit 101 may be a wireless or wired controller.

[0025] The storage unit 102 is a non-transient storage medium that retains stored information even when the power supply is stopped. The storage unit 102 stores, for example, programs and data required for the control unit 103 to control each unit of the massage machine 100. The storage unit 102 also stores the conditions of treatment instructed by the operation unit 101.

[0026] The control unit 103 controls each unit of the massage machine 100. For example, the control unit 103 controls the treatment unit 1 via the drive circuit 104. In addition, when the treatment tool 200 is an electric treatment device, the control unit 103 may control the treatment tool 200.

[0027] The power supply unit 105 supplies power to each unit (e.g., the treatment unit 1) including the control unit 103 of the massage machine 100. When the treatment tool 200 is an electric treatment device, the power supply unit 105 may supply power to the treatment tool 200. However, this is not limited to the example, and the treatment tool 200 may be supplied with power from a power supply system separate from the treatment unit 1. For example, the massage machine 100 may include a power supply device for the treatment tool 200 that is separate from the power supply unit 105.

[0028] In this embodiment, the power supply unit 105 has a drive circuit 1051 and a battery 1052. The battery 1052 is a chargeable and dischargeable secondary battery such as a lithium ion battery. The battery 1052 can be charged by connecting to an external power source via a power line (not shown) that is detachable from the battery 1052. When charging, the power line is connected to, for example, a home power outlet or a USB port of an information device such as a personal computer. The control unit 103 controls charging and discharging of the battery 1052 via the drive circuit 1051. Note that the configuration of the power supply unit 105 is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 4. The power supply unit 105 may include a power line that can be connected to an external power source, and may be, for example, a wired power supply device.

[0029] <3.Grip part 4> Next, a detailed configuration of the gripping portion 4 will be described with reference to Figs. 1-2 and 5A-5H. Fig. 5A is a conceptual diagram showing a first configuration example of the gripping portion 4. Fig. 5B is a conceptual diagram showing a second configuration example of the gripping portion 4. Fig. 5C is a conceptual diagram showing a third configuration example of the gripping portion 4. Fig. 5D is a conceptual diagram showing a fourth configuration example of the gripping portion 4. Fig. 5E is a conceptual diagram showing a fifth configuration example of the gripping portion 4. Fig. 5F is a conceptual diagram showing a sixth configuration example of the gripping portion 4. Fig. 5G is a conceptual diagram showing a seventh configuration example of the gripping portion 4. Fig. 5H is a conceptual diagram showing an eighth configuration example of the gripping portion 4.

[0030] As described above, the grip portion 4 has the first annular portion 41 and the second annular portion 42. In this embodiment, the first annular portion 41 and the second annular portion 42 are formed of a strip of cloth, artificial leather, or the like.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 5A, in this embodiment, the first annular portion 41 has a band-shaped body 411. The second annular portion 42 has a band-shaped body 421. The band-shaped body 411 is looped and both ends are attached to the band-shaped member 3a that forms the connecting portion 3. The first annular portion 41 is formed by the band-shaped member 3a and the band-shaped body 411. The band-shaped body 421 is looped and both ends are attached to the band-shaped body 411. The second annular portion 42 is formed by the band-shaped body 411 and the band-shaped body 421. As a result, the tip of the second annular portion 42 is disposed farther from the connecting portion 3 than the tip of the first annular portion 41. That is, at least a part of the second annular portion 42 is farther from the connecting portion 3 than the first annular portion 41.

[0032] At this time, since at least one end of the second annular portion 42 is connected to the first annular portion 41, it is possible to easily form the second annular portion 42 that is farther from the connecting portion 3 than the first annular portion 41. In addition, the amount of cloth, artificial leather, etc. used for the belt-shaped body 421 can be reduced.

[0033] In addition, the maximum area surrounded by the second annular portion 42 is larger than the maximum area surrounded by the first annular portion 41. This allows a hand or arm to be easily inserted obliquely into the second annular portion 42 during treatment, as will be described in detail later.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 5B, the band-like body 421 may be attached to the band-like body 411 in a closed loop. As shown in FIG. 5E, the band-like body 421 may be attached to the band-like member 3a in a closed loop. As shown in FIG. 5C and FIG. 5D, one end of the band-like body 421 may be connected to the band-like member 3a and the other end may be connected to the band-like body 411. As shown in FIG. 5F, both ends of the band-like body 421 may be connected to the band-like member 3a. In this case, if the first annular portion 41 is formed inside the second annular portion 42 as shown in FIG. 5C and FIG. 5F, the area surrounded by the second annular portion 42 can be made larger.

[0035] 5G, the first annular portion 41 may be formed by looping the strip-shaped member 3a that forms the connecting portion 3. In other words, the strip 411 may be integrated with the strip-shaped member 3a. In this case, the second annular portion 42 is formed by attaching both ends of the strip 421 (strip) to the strip-shaped member 3a. This allows the number of parts of the grip portion 4 to be reduced.

[0036] Similarly, as shown in Fig. 5H, the second annular portion 42 may be formed by looping the strip-shaped member 3a forming the connecting portion 3. In other words, the strip 421 may be integral with the strip-shaped member 3a. In this case, the first annular portion 41 is formed by connecting both ends of the strip 411 (strip) to the inner surface of the second annular portion 42. This reduces the number of parts of the grip portion 4 and makes it easy to form the first annular portion 41 inside the second annular portion 42.

[0037] In this way, the person U can firmly press the treatment section 1 against the part to be treated at the rear of his / her body in a comfortable position.

[0038] For example, when the treatment unit 1 is used to treat the back of the neck and shoulders of the person U (see FIG. 3A, etc.), the person U can press the treatment unit 1 against the back of the neck and shoulders by bringing the treatment unit 1 into contact with the back of the neck and shoulders and pulling the gripping unit 4 downward. In this case, if the person U holds the gripping unit 4 at a position (for example, the abdomen or lower chest) away from the back of the neck and shoulders where the treatment device unit 2 is in contact, it is easy to pull the gripping unit 4. In addition, at least a part of the second annular portion 42 is farther from the other end of the connecting portion 3 than the first annular portion 41, that is, farther from the treatment device unit 2. Therefore, the person U can firmly press the treatment unit 1 against the back of the neck and shoulders in a comfortable position by pulling the second annular portion 42 with his or her hand or arm.

[0039] Furthermore, when the treatment unit 1 is used to treat the lower back of the user U (see FIG. 3B, etc.), the user U can press the treatment unit 1 against the lower back by bringing the treatment unit 1 into contact with the lower back and pulling the gripping portion 4 forward. At this time, if the user U grips the gripping portion 4 at a position (for example, the abdomen) close to the lower back where the treatment device unit 2 contacts, it is easy to pull the gripping portion 4. Therefore, the user U can firmly press the treatment unit 1 against the lower back in a comfortable position by pulling the first annular portion 41, which is closer to the treatment device unit 2, with his or her hand or arm.

[0040] Preferably, the maximum area surrounded by the second annular portion 42 is larger than the maximum area surrounded by the first annular portion 41. In this way, the second annular portion 42 can be made larger than the first annular portion 41. Therefore, even if the user U places his / her hand or arm at an angle to the ring shape of the second annular portion 42, the user can easily pass the hand or arm through the inside of the second annular portion 42. However, this example does not exclude a configuration in which the maximum area surrounded by the second annular portion 42 is equal to or smaller than the maximum area surrounded by the first annular portion 41.

[0041] Also, preferably, at least a portion of the first annular portion 41 is disposed inside the second annular portion 42 (see, for example, Figures 5A, 5C, 5D, 5F, 5G, and 5H). In this way, the first annular portion 41 is less likely to spread outward than the second annular portion 42, and the grip portion 4 is less likely to become bulky. Therefore, the grip portion 4 can be made compact. However, this example does not exclude a configuration in which at least a portion of the first annular portion 41 is not disposed inside the second annular portion 42 (see, for example, Figures 5B and 5E).

[0042] <4. Mounting part 6> Next, the configuration of the attachment portion 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 2 and 3C to 3E.

[0043] The attachment parts 6 are disposed on the respective gripping parts 4 and can be attached to the attachment member 300. The attachment member 300 can be, for example, a belt of the user U (see, for example, FIG. 3C), a hand rest of a chair (see, for example, FIG. 3D), or a waist part of clothing such as bottoms (pants, skirt, etc.) (see, for example, FIG. 3E), etc.

[0044] Preferably, the attachment portion 6 is detachable from the grip portion 4. In this way, when the grip portion 4 is not connected to the attachment member 300, the attachment portion 6 can be removed from the grip portion 4. Therefore, for example, the engaging portion 61 described later can be prevented from engaging with an unintended part of the user, and the attachment portion 6 can be prevented from getting in the way when using the massage machine 100. Therefore, the user U can use the massage machine 100 comfortably. However, this example does not exclude a configuration in which the attachment portion 6 is not detachable from the grip portion 4.

[0045] The attachment portion 6 has an engagement portion 61 that can be engaged with the workpiece 300. In this embodiment, the engagement portion 61 is a hook portion 611 that can be hooked onto the workpiece 300. However, without being limited to this example, the engagement portion 61 may be a clip portion 612 that can clamp the workpiece 300, or may include both the hook portion 611 and the clip portion 612. In other words, the engagement portion 61 may include, for example, at least one of the hook portion 611 that can be hooked onto the workpiece 300 and the clip portion 612 that can clamp the workpiece 300.

[0046] In this way, the attachment part 6 can be easily attached to the attachment member 300. For example, the attachment can be achieved by hooking the hook part 611 onto a part of the treatment recipient U's clothing (such as a belt) or the handrail of a chair (see Figs. 3C and 3D, etc.). The attachment can also be achieved by clamping a part of the treatment recipient U's clothing (such as trousers or the waist part of a skirt) with the clip part 612 (see Fig. 3E, etc.). However, this example does not exclude a configuration in which the attachment part 61 does not include both the hook part 611 and the above-mentioned clip part 612. In other words, the attachment part 61 may be a member other than the hook part 611 and the above-mentioned clip part 612.

[0047] Preferably, the attachment portion 6 further includes a connection member 62 and an adjuster portion 63. The connection member 62 connects the engagement portion 61 and the grip portion 4. The adjuster portion 63 adjusts the length of the connection member 62. In this way, even if the attachment member 300 is separated from the grip portion 4, the connection member 62 can easily connect the grip portion 4 to the attachment member 300 via the attachment portion 6. Furthermore, the adjuster portion 63 can adjust the connection member 62 to an appropriate length. For example, by connecting the grip portion 4 to the attachment member 300, an appropriate tension can be applied to the connecting portion 3 even if the user U does not pull the grip portion 4. Note that this example does not exclude a configuration in which the connection member 62 and the adjuster portion 63 are omitted.

[0048] In the massage machine 100 having the above configuration, the user U hangs the treatment device unit 2 around his / her neck and grasps the gripping part 4 to pull downward, as shown in Fig. 3A. This causes the treatment unit 1 to be pressed against the part to be treated consisting of the neck and shoulders at the rear of the user U's body, and treatment is performed on the part to be treated. At this time, tension from the end of the treatment device unit 2 toward the gripping part 4 acts on the connecting part 3, so that the treatment tool 200 is pressed against the user U.

[0049] Therefore, the massage machine 100 can treat not only the rear part of the user U, but also the front part of the user U by pressing the treatment tool 200 against the front part of the body. For example, the treatment tool 200 can be pressed against the front part of the body of the user U, such as the subclavian region or chest, to treat the front part. Also, by varying the strength of the pulling force of the gripping part 4, treatment actions similar to pressing, kneading, tapping, etc. can be performed.

[0050] Conversely, when the treatment device section 2 is hung on the front of the neck and the treatment section 1 treats the front part of the person U, the treatment tool 200 can also treat the rear part. Since the treatment tool 200 is detachable, the person U can select the type, size, hardness, shape, etc. of the treatment tool 200 to be worn according to his / her preference. Therefore, the massage machine 100 can provide treatment according to the preference of the person U to a wide range of the body.

[0051] 3B, the user U hangs the treatment device unit 2 on his / her waist, grasps the gripping part 4, and pulls it forward. As a result, the treatment unit 1 is pressed against the part to be treated, which is the waist at the rear of the user U's body, and the treatment is performed on the part to be treated.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 3C, when the treatment device unit 2 is hung around the neck to perform treatment, the attachment unit 61 is attached to the attachment member 300 such as the belt of the person U. In FIG. 3C, the hook unit 611 is hooked onto the belt. This allows the treatment unit 1 to be pressed against the treatment site consisting of the neck and shoulders of the person U and to maintain this state even if the person U does not hold the grip unit 4. Similarly, the treatment tool 200 treats the front part of the person U. That is, the person U can use the massage machine 100 hands-free. At this time, the length of the connection member 62 is adjusted by the adjuster unit 63 to pull the connecting part 3 with an appropriate tension, and treatment can be performed by the treatment unit 1 and the treatment tool 200.

[0053] Similarly, as shown in Fig. 3D, when the treatment device unit 2 is hung around the neck to perform treatment, the attachment part 61 is attached to the attachment member 300 such as a hand rest of a chair. In Fig. 3D, the hook part 611 is hooked on the hand rest. This allows the treatment recipient U to use the massage machine 100 hands-free, as in the above case.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 3E, when the treatment device unit 2 is hung around the neck to perform treatment, the attachment unit 61 is attached to the attachment member 300 of the clothing of the person U (for example, the waist part of trousers). In FIG. 3E, the waist part is clamped by the clip part 612. This allows the treatment unit 1 to be pressed against the treatment part consisting of the neck and shoulders of the person U and to maintain this state even if the person U does not hold the grip part 4. Also, as described above, the front part of the person U is treated by the treatment tool 200. That is, the person U can use the massage machine 100 hands-free. At this time, the length of the connection member 62 is adjusted by the adjuster part 63 to pull the connecting part 3 with an appropriate tension, and treatment can be performed by the treatment unit 1 and the treatment tool 200.

[0055] <5. Summary> The massage machine 100 described in the above embodiment includes a treatment section 1 that treats a user U, a treatment device section 2 on which the treatment section 1 is mounted, a pair of gripping sections 4 that can be held by the user U, and a pair of connecting sections 3 that extend from both ends of the treatment device section 2 and are connected to the gripping sections 4. The gripping sections 4 have a first annular section 41 and a second annular section 42. At least a portion of the second annular section 42 is farther from the connecting sections 3 than the first annular section 41 is.

[0056] According to this configuration, the person to be treated U can firmly press the treatment section 1 against the part to be treated at the rear of the body in a comfortable position.

[0057] For example, when the treatment unit 1 is used to treat the back of the neck and shoulders of the person to be treated U (see, for example, FIG. 3A), the person to be treated U can press the treatment unit 1 against the back of the neck and shoulders by bringing the treatment unit 1 into contact with the back of the neck and shoulders and pulling the gripping unit 4 downward. At this time, if the person to be treated U holds the gripping unit 4 at a position (for example, the abdomen or lower chest) away from the back of the neck and shoulders where the treatment device unit 2 is in contact, it is easy to pull the gripping unit 4. Also, at least a part of the second annular portion 42 is farther from the other end of the connecting portion 3 than the first annular portion 41, that is, farther from the treatment device unit 2. Therefore, the person to be treated U can firmly press the treatment unit 1 against the back of the neck and shoulders in a comfortable position by pulling the second annular portion 42 with his or her hand or arm.

[0058] Furthermore, when the treatment unit 1 is used to treat the lower back of the user U (see, for example, FIG. 3B), the user U can press the treatment unit 1 against the lower back by bringing the treatment unit 1 into contact with the lower back and pulling the gripping portion 4 forward. At this time, if the user U grips the gripping portion 4 at a position (for example, the abdomen) close to the lower back where the treatment device unit 2 contacts, it is easy to pull the gripping portion 4. Therefore, the user U can firmly press the treatment unit 1 against the lower back in a comfortable position by pulling the first annular portion 41, which is closer to the treatment device unit 2, with his or her hand or arm.

[0059] In addition, the maximum area surrounded by the second annular portion 42 may be larger than the maximum area surrounded by the first annular portion 41.

[0060] According to this configuration, the second annular portion 42 can be made wider than the first annular portion 41. Therefore, even if the user U puts his / her hand or arm obliquely into the ring shape of the second annular portion 42, the user can easily put his / her hand or arm inside the second annular portion 42.

[0061] Furthermore, at least a portion of the first annular portion 41 may be disposed inside the second annular portion .

[0062] According to this configuration, the first annular portion 41 does not extend outward beyond the second annular portion 42, so that the grip portion 4 is less likely to be bulky. Therefore, the grip portion 4 can be made compact.

[0063] In addition, one end of the second annular portion 42 may be connected to the first annular portion 41.

[0064] According to this configuration, the first annular portion 41 and the second annular portion 42 can be configured with a simple structure.

[0065] The first annular portion 41 may have a strip 411 attached to the strip member 3a forming the connecting portion 3. The second annular portion 42 may have a strip 421. The strip 421 is attached to the strip member 3a or the strip 411.

[0066] According to this configuration, it is possible to easily form the second annular portion 42 that is farther from the connecting portion 3 than the first annular portion 41. Also, by connecting at least one end of the second annular portion 42 to the first annular portion 41, it is possible to further reduce the amount of cloth, artificial leather, etc. used for the belt-shaped body 421.

[0067] Alternatively, the first annular portion 41 may be formed by looping a strip-shaped member 3a that forms the connecting portion 3. The second annular portion 42 may have a strip-shaped body 421. The strip-shaped body 421 is attached to the strip-shaped member 3a.

[0068] According to this configuration, the number of parts of the grip portion 4 can be reduced.

[0069] Alternatively, the second annular portion 42 may be formed by looping a strip-shaped member 3a that forms the connecting portion 3. The first annular portion 41 may have a strip-shaped body 411. The strip-shaped body 411 is attached to the inner surface of the second annular portion 42.

[0070] According to this configuration, the number of parts of the grip portion 4 can be reduced, and the first annular portion 41 can be easily formed inside the second annular portion .

[0071] The massage machine 100 may further include an attachment portion 6. The attachment portion 6 is disposed on each grip portion 4, and is attachable to the attachment target member 300. The attachment portion 6 may have an engagement portion 61 that is engageable with the attachment target member 300.

[0072] According to this configuration, the gripping part 4 can be connected to the attachment member 300 by engaging the engagement part 61 of the attachment part 6 with the attachment member 300. For example, the person to be treated U can engage the engagement part 61 with the attachment member 300 such as the belt of the person to be treated U (see FIG. 3C, etc.), the hand rest of a chair (see FIG. 3D, etc.), or clothing such as bottoms (trousers, skirt, etc.) (see FIG. 3E, etc.). Therefore, even if the person to be treated U does not grip the gripping part 4, the treatment part 1 can be pressed against the person to be treated U and maintained in this state. In other words, the person to be treated U can use the massage machine 100 hands-free.

[0073] Moreover, the attachment portion 6 may be detachable from the grip portion 4 .

[0074] According to this configuration, when the gripping portion 4 is not connected to the attachment member 300, the attachment portion 6 can be detached from the gripping portion 4. For example, it is possible to prevent the engagement portion 61 from being engaged with an unnecessary member. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the attachment portion 6 from getting in the way when using the massage machine 100. Therefore, the user U can use the massage machine 100 comfortably.

[0075] Furthermore, the engaging portion 61 may include at least one of a hook portion 611 and a clip portion 612. The hook portion 611 is capable of hooking onto the attachment member 300. The clip portion 612 is capable of clamping the attachment member 300.

[0076] According to this configuration, the attachment part 6 can be easily attached to the attachment member 300. For example, attachment can be achieved by hooking the hook part 611 onto a part of the treatment recipient U's clothing (such as a belt) or the handrail of a chair (see Figs. 3C and 3D, etc.). Also, attachment can be achieved by clamping a part of the treatment recipient U's clothing (such as pants or the waist part of a skirt) with the clip part 612 (see Fig. 3E, etc.).

[0077] Moreover, the attachment portion 6 may further include a connection member 62 and an adjuster portion 63. The connection member 62 connects the engagement portion 61 and the grip portion 4. The adjuster portion 63 adjusts the length of the connection member 62.

[0078] According to this configuration, even if the attached member 300 is separated from the gripping part 4, the connecting member 62 can easily connect the gripping part 4 to the attached member 300 via the attachment part 6. Furthermore, the connecting member 62 can be adjusted to an appropriate length by the adjuster part 63. For example, by connecting the gripping part 4 to the attached member 300, an appropriate tension can be applied to the connecting part 3 even if the user U does not pull the gripping part 4.
