Description

[Technical Field]

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

[0002] Conventionally, "massage devices" or "acupressure devices" have been roughly classified into categories such as whether they are electric or manual, whether they target acupressure points on the entire body or specific parts of the body such as the soles of the feet, whether they target the massage area or acupressure points, whether they target the size / shape of the massage device, from large devices like beds to small, portable devices, and whether they are massaged by electrical stimulation such as low-frequency current or by manual pressure or vibration stimulation.

[0003] Among these, the most common inexpensive and simple massage devices or acupressure devices are those that have protrusions on the device that the user presses against stiff areas or acupressure points on various parts of the body.

[0004] For example, there are types that use bamboo stepping devices to press acupressure points on the soles of the feet, types that have pressure projections at the end of curved arms that can be used with the hands to press on stiff areas in the shoulders or back, and types that use the body weight to press on stiff areas or acupressure points in the lower back or back while lying on one's back by placing the projections on a massage device placed underneath.

[0005] Patent Document 1 discloses a massage device that has a single sphere with a diameter of 12 to 25 mm that is housed at the tip and rotates in all directions with roughly half of it exposed, and has an approximately spherical or disc-shaped handle at the other end, and whose overall shape is approximately a sake bottle-shaped body that is symmetrical along a rotational axis.
