Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The inventions and products of Patent Documents 1 and 2 and Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2 enable massage of the back and shoulders. However, the user of the massage gun holds the massage gun by hand and presses it against the body, or presses the body against a fixed massage gun. Therefore, compared with the case of receiving a back massage from another person, since force is applied to the user's hand, arm, and shoulder, there is a problem that the upper body is not relaxed and is not in a relaxed state.

[0006] The present invention enables self-massage of the back and shoulders in a state where the upper body is relaxed without applying force to the user's arm and shoulder. And it aims to provide a holder that can utilize many of the commercially available massage guns of many types.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, in the invention according to claim 1, one end of the gripping portion detachably grips the massage gun, and at the other end of the gripping portion, one end of a horizontal holding portion is provided in a direction substantially orthogonal to the vibration direction of the massage gun, and at the other end of the horizontal holding portion, one end of a vertical holding portion is provided in a direction substantially parallel to the vibration direction of the massage gun. It is a massage gun holder.

[0008] According to the invention described in claim 1, at the other end of the vertical holding portion, a fulcrum portion for supporting the vertical holding portion is provided in a direction substantially parallel to the vibration direction of the massage gun. And the tip of the vibrating 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. The horizontal part and the vertical holding part can be regarded as integrated to form a connecting and holding part that connects the gripping part and the fulcrum part. And, between the tip of the vibrating part of the massage gun and the tip of the fulcrum part, there is a space of a predetermined height in the vibration direction of the massage gun.

[0009] If the user lies prone on the floor or lies prone with the upper body on the table, the massage can be performed in a state of exhaustion and relaxation. Also, the effect is high when the massage gun vibrating part is perpendicular to the affected area. Therefore, if there is a height difference about the thickness of the upper body between the vibrating part and the fulcrum part, an effective massage can be performed in a relaxed state. Since the thickness of the upper body varies depending on the physique of the user for the predetermined height difference, it is preferable to have a plurality of types of height differences. For example, there may be types of height differences such as S, M, L, 2L, 3L sizes, etc. For example, if it is size M, it may be about 20 cm ± 5 cm. Also, the vertical holding part may be made adjustable in length, or may be detachably divided at one or more places and made replaceable with vertical holding parts of different lengths. Furthermore, for adjusting the height difference, the angle of the joint point between the horizontal holding part and the vertical holding part may be made changeable.

[0010] According to the invention described in claim 1, the horizontal holding part has a predetermined length. To massage the entire back in a state of lying prone on the floor or lying prone with the upper body on the table and being exhausted and relaxed, the horizontal holding part requires a certain length. Since the length in the height direction of the upper body varies depending on the physique of the user for the predetermined length, it is preferable to have a plurality of types of lengths. For example, there may be types of lengths such as S, M, L, 2L, 3L sizes, etc. For example, if it is size M, it may be about 45 cm ± 10 cm. Also, the horizontal holding part may be made adjustable in length, or may be detachably divided at one or more places and made replaceable with horizontal holding parts of different lengths. Also, the user may place the relaxed arms or hands on the horizontal holding part. Thereby, the massage intensity can be adjusted. And this massage gun holder can perform massage even with such a load. Predetermined It has strength and rigidity. The predetermined strength and rigidity of the horizontal holding part and the vertical holding part mean that even when a weight is placed on the horizontal holding part or when it is strongly pressed with an arm or a hand, the vibration direction and vibration intensity of the massage gun hardly change, and the massage effect hardly weakens.

[0011] According to the invention described in claim 2, the gripping part and / or the horizontal holding part can bear a predetermined load. Generally, the strength of the effect of a massage gun is adjusted by the pushing force of the user's handle in the vibration direction of the massage gun. However, in the present invention, the massage gun is not held by hand. Therefore, the predetermined load serves as a substitute for the force of pushing the massage gun by hand. Since the preferences of users vary, the load may or may not be applied. And what can be loaded may be the user's arm, hand, other weights, etc. The loading location is inside or outside the horizontal holding part, or outside the gripping part.

[0012] According to the invention described in claim 2, the vibration part and the fulcrum part support the weight of the massage gun, the weight of the massage gun holder, and the predetermined load that can be loaded. And the user of the massage gun holder can place the fulcrum part not only on the user's hand but also on the thigh, upper body, table, floor, the armrest of a chair, etc. to support the massage gun holder, relax, and perform a massage in a relaxed state. Also, the support part may be made of a non-slip material so as not to slide on a table or the like. And the support part may be made of a soft material for supporting on the thigh or upper body.

[0013] To solve the above problems, in the invention described in claim 3, the gripping part and / or the horizontal holding part has a function that the weight can be detachable, and / or the weight can be increased or decreased, and / or the weight can be movable. The intensity of the massage gun's effect is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the weight, instead of adjusting the pressing force by the handle. Also, by moving the weight's loading position closer to or farther from the gripping part, the intensity of the massage gun's effect is adjusted. Since the force to press the massage gun varies among individuals and also differs depending on the part being massaged, the weight can be increased or decreased from the case of not loading the weight to the weight at which the massage effect is maximized. The location where the weight is placed is inside or outside the horizontal holding part, or outside the gripping part.

[0014] To solve the above problems, in the invention according to claim 4, the gripping part has a pipe-shaped structure, and a part of the massage gun is held by the pipe-shaped structure. And, a fixture is provided to tighten the gripping part and the massage gun to prevent displacement.

[0015] According to the invention described in claim 4, the housing of the mass-produced massage gun has a combination of generally cylindrical shapes. Therefore, the gripping part has a pipe-shaped structure and is also an elastic body, which grips massage guns of different sizes and prevents the gripped massage gun from being displaced. As a result, massage guns of various shapes can be used. Also, due to the vibration of the massage gun, the part being gripped may resonate. To avoid this resonance phenomenon, the part that grips the housing of the massage gun may have a material that absorbs vibration.

[0016] The invention according to claim 5 is provided with a mechanism that can change the angle of the joint point between the horizontal holding part and the vertical holding part to adjust the height difference between the vibrating part and the fulcrum part. Also, claim 6 is a massage gun in which the massage gun holder and the massage gun are integrated.

[0017] The sizes of the massage gun holders according to claims 1 to 5 and the massage gun according to claim 6 are large. Therefore, in order to facilitate storage and transportation, it is advisable to make it compact. It may be detachably divided by a vertical holding part or a horizontal holding part. Also, it may be foldable with a middle-fold structure.

Advantages of the Invention

[0018] With a single massage gun, it is possible to massage the whole body including the shoulders and back in a relaxed state, which is helpful for promoting health. And a high contribution to well-being is expected.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, the massage gun holder 1 according to the embodiment will be described.

[0021] In recent years, the effects of massage guns have been recognized, and many designs of massage guns are being sold. Due to constraints such as ease of use in terms of weight, shape, and battery life, the shape and weight of massage guns have been within a certain range. The shape and weight of massage guns can be roughly classified into two types. One is the small massage gun 10 in FIG. 1, and the other is the large massage gun 15 in FIG. 5.

[0022] The massage gun holder 1 supports the vibration portion 11 and the fulcrum portion 32 of the massage gun 10 and the total weight applied to the massage gun 10 and this massage gun holder 1 so that the user can receive a massage in a relaxed and stress-free state. With the fulcrum portion 32 as a fulcrum, the massage gun holder 1 pivots. Also, the fulcrum portion 32 slides. Thereby, the position for massage can be easily changed. The massage gun holder 1 may be lightweight and easy to handle. In addition, with the gripping portion 20, massage guns of various designs can be used. Then, in order to achieve a massage effect deep into the affected muscle, place the limp arm or hand on the horizontal holding portion 30 and utilize the weight of the arm or hand, or attach a weight 40. For this purpose, it is preferable that the massage gun holder 1 has a predetermined elasticity, rigidity, and strength. As the material constituting the massage gun holder 1, it is preferable that it has a predetermined elasticity, rigidity, and strength, for example, synthetic resin, metal, wood or bamboo.

[0023] Therefore, in this embodiment, the whole has a pipe-shaped structure. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, insert the grip portion of the small massage gun into the pipe-shaped gripping portion, and tighten two places with the tightening and anti-slip fixture 22 to prevent slipping. The tightening and anti-slip fixture 22 may be a hook-and-loop fastener, a belt, etc. that can be easily attached and detached. As shown in FIGS. 5 to 6, insert the grip portion of the large massage gun 15, tighten two places, and prevent slipping. The massage gun and the massage holding portion may be fixedly integrated.

[0024] Since the horizontal holding portion has a pipe-shaped structure, a weight for loading can be installed inside the pipe. With only the weight of the small massage gun 11 in the gripping portion, the force pressing the vibrating portion is small. Therefore, install the minimum necessary weight inside the horizontal holding portion, and the weight above the minimum necessary may be adjusted outside the horizontal holding portion.

[0025] With reference to FIGS. 7 to 8, the gripping portion 20 of the massage gun holder 1 according to the embodiment will be described in detail. When the grip portion of the small massage gun 10 is inserted into the gripping portion 20, the massage gun vibration portion guide 12 stops at the displacement prevention portion 25. Then, the upper elastic body 23 that grips the small massage gun 10 and the lower elastic body 24 that grips the massage gun grip the grip portion of the small massage gun 10.

[0026] After that, the tightening and displacement prevention fixture 22 tightens the upper elastic body 23 and the lower elastic body 24 to prevent displacement.

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

[0028] The lower elastic body 24 is continuous with the upper elastic body 23, but the positions and numbers of the slits are different. In order to be able to grip as many types of massage guns with rich shapes as possible, the upper elastic body 23 is provided with two slits, but one or more slits are acceptable. The difference in the positions of the slits between the lower elastic body 24 and the upper elastic body 23 is for providing the displacement prevention portion 25.

[0029] Referring to FIGS. 9 to 10, the weight 40 of the massage gun holder according to the embodiment and the holder 41 for holding the weight will be described.

[0030] Generally, hold the massage gun by hand, use the weight of the arm or hand, or press it, and press the vibration portion 11 against the affected area to adjust the massage intensity. In the massage gun holder 1, a weight 40 is tightened near the gripping portion 20 with a tightening and displacement prevention fixture 41. By increasing or decreasing the weight of the weight 40, and by arranging the weight 40 near the gripping portion or near the far vertical holding portion 31, the force pressing the vibrating portion 11 against the affected area can be adjusted. The weight may be metal, a metal plate, iron sand, sand, gravel, clay, a liquid, or the like. A belt-shaped weight may be wound. The tightening and displacement prevention fixture 41 may be a large belt or a large surface fastener that wraps around the entire weight. Also, it may be a material that presses with an elastic body like a wide rubber band, for example, made of synthetic resin or metal.

[0031] FIG. 10 includes a holder 42 for holding a weight in order to facilitate the increase and decrease of the weight. For example, by putting sand or the like in a plastic bottle and adjusting the amount, the weight is adjusted. In this embodiment, in order to balance, weights are installed on both sides with the horizontal holding portion 30 as the center line.

[0032] The weight may be detachably and adjustably installed in the pipe of the horizontal holding portion 30. Generally, with only the weight of the massage gun, the massage effect is low, so a certain weight may be placed in the pipe near the weight 40. Also, the fulcrum portion 32 is detachable from the vertical holding portion 31, and extra weights not used for loading may be stored in the pipe of the vertical holding portion.

Example

[0033] With reference to FIGS. 11 to 12, the usage method of the massage gun holder 1 according to the embodiment will be described.

[0034] FIG. 11 shows a case where the user is in a prone position in a relaxed and deflated state, the fulcrum portion 32 is installed on the floor, and the back is massaged. In order to place the upper body of the user so that the vibration direction of the vibration part 11 of the massage gun holder is substantially orthogonal to the user's back, there is a need for a certain height difference in the vibration direction between the vibration part 11 and the fulcrum part 32.

[0035] FIG. 12 shows a case where the fulcrum part 32 is installed on a table and the shoulders are massaged in a state where the user is relaxed and sitting with loose muscles. In order for the vibration direction of the vibration part 11 of the massage gun 10 to be substantially orthogonal to the user's shoulder, there is a need for a certain height difference in the vibration direction between the vibration part 11 and the fulcrum part 32.

[0036] Due to the height difference, the user can easily move their body. Also, the massage gun holder 1 can be rotated with the fulcrum part 32 as a fulcrum. By the sliding and rotation of the fulcrum part of the massage gun holder 1 and the movement of the user's body, the affected area can be accurately massaged.

[0037] With reference to FIGS. 11 to 12, a method for adjusting the force of pressing the vibration part 11 against the user's back or shoulder will be described.

[0038] By increasing or decreasing the weight 40, the force of pressing the vibration part 11 against the user's affected area can be adjusted.

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

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

[0041] In summary, by various combinations of these four methods: (1) increasing or decreasing the weight 40, (2) moving the installation position of the weight 40, (3) adjusting the load of one hand and / or arm 101, and (4) the bending moment generated by the force 93 pushing out the fulcrum part, the force pressing the vibration part 11 against the user's back or shoulder can be finely adjusted. As a result, the user of this embodiment can massage the shoulders and back with little force on the arms and hands in a state where the upper body is relaxed and limp.

[0042] FIG. 11 shows an example of back massage in a prone position, and FIG. 12 shows an example of shoulder massage in a seated position. Although not shown in the figure, it is also possible to massage the back in a seated position. In this case, since the massage gun holder 1 is supported by the user's hand, the user's hand and arm cannot be fully relaxed and limp.

[0043] In addition, in order to facilitate storage, a function of folding the massage gun holder 1 can be added to the horizontal holding part 30. Also, the horizontal holding part 30 or the vertical holding part 31 can be detachable and may be divided into two or more parts. And a part of the horizontal holding part 30 having the gripping part 20 can be weighted with the weight 40 to perform massage.

[0044] Also, a structure for the massage gun holder 1 to stand on its own without being touched by the user can be provided on the vertical holding part 31 or the fulcrum part 32.
