Description

Mattress with massage device

[0001] The present invention relates to a mattress, and more particularly, to a mattress equipped with a massage device.

[0002] Traditionally, spinal thermal massage devices have been widely used to alleviate acute or chronic pain in the muscles and nerve tissues of the spine caused by prolonged work in an improper posture or by habitually maintaining such postures, to improve blood circulation in the body, or to relieve momentary muscle stiffness, by moving along the body and applying thermal stimulation to the painful area to improve blood flow.

[0003] However, these spinal thermal massage devices are only suitable for use when receiving a massage. To lie down and relax, the user must move to another piece of furniture, such as a bed or sofa, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, users who are resting on other furniture, such as a bed or sofa, must move to the spinal thermal massage device to receive a massage, which is also inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to develop technology that allows users to relax regardless of whether they use a massage device.

[0005] The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mattress equipped with a massage device that enables effective massage when the massage device is used and comfortable rest when the massage device is not used.

[0006] The tasks of the present invention are not limited to the tasks mentioned above, and other tasks not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains from the description below.

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, a mattress is provided with a massage device including a pressing part that pressurizes a user's body, a load part that supports the pressing part and has a width-wise length formed smaller than the width-wise length of the pressing part, and a main body on which the massage device is installed.

[0008] At this time, the main body includes a massage part having a massage area formed through the pressurizing part to massage the user's body, and a support part having a support area formed on both sides of the width direction of the massage part to support the user's body, and when the massage device is not in use, the upper surface of the massage part and the upper surface of the support part are arranged at the same height, and when the massage device is in use, the upper surface of the support part can be arranged at a higher position than the upper surface of the massage part.

[0009] At this time, the massage device can be installed embedded in the massage section.

[0010] At this time, the main body may further include a height adjustment unit that adjusts the height of the support unit along the height direction.

[0011] At this time, the height adjustment unit may include a lifting member that pushes up the lower surface of the support unit.

[0012] At this time, the main body may further include a height adjustment unit that adjusts the height of the massage unit along the height direction.

[0013] At this time, the height adjustment unit may include a lifting member that pulls down the lower surface of the massage unit.

[0014] At this time, the main body may further include a base portion that supports the lower surface of the massage portion and the support portion.

[0015] At this time, the massage part is arranged to extend integrally from the base part, and the support part is arranged to be secured to the upper surface of the base part when the massage device is not in use, and can be arranged to be spaced apart from the base part in the height direction when the massage device is in use.

[0016] At this time, the main body further includes a connecting portion connecting a pair of the supporting portions spaced apart from each other along the width direction, and the connecting portion may be arranged at an upper or lower portion in the longitudinal direction of the supporting portions.

[0017] At this time, the main body may further include a control unit that controls the operation of the massage device and the height adjustment unit.

[0018] At this time, the control unit can control the support unit to first move upward when the massage device is used, and then control the pressure unit to be exposed after the support unit moves upward.

[0019] At this time, the main body may further include a control unit that controls the operation of the massage device and the height adjustment unit.

[0020] At this time, the control unit can control the massage unit to move downward first when the massage device is used, and control the pressure unit to be exposed after the massage unit moves downward.

[0021] At this time, the main body is provided with a first exposure hole so that the pressing part is exposed at a position higher than the upper surface supporting the user's body when the massage device is used, and a second exposure hole extending from the first exposure hole so that the load part moves in the longitudinal direction while the pressing part is exposed, and the width direction length of the second exposure hole can be formed to be smaller than the width direction length of the first exposure hole.

[0022] According to the above configuration, a mattress equipped with a massage device according to one aspect of the present invention can maintain a hidden state by installing the massage device embedded in the main body, so that a user can lie down on the upper surface of the main body and rest, and when the massage device is used, the pressure part is exposed at a position higher than the upper surface of the main body and then moves in the longitudinal direction to perform a massage.

[0023] In addition, since the width-wise length of the second exposure hole is formed to be smaller than the width-wise length of the first exposure hole, even when the user lies down on the upper surface of the main body when the massage device is not in use, the user's body is minimized from falling into the second exposure hole, thereby improving user convenience.

[0024] In addition, since the pressurized portion can be completely exposed to the upper surface of the main body through the first exposure hole, interference between the pressurized portion and the second exposure hole can be effectively prevented when the massage device moves in the longitudinal direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the operation of the massage device.

[0025] The effects of the present invention are not limited to the effects described above, and should be understood to include all effects that can be inferred from the detailed description of the present invention or the composition of the invention described in the claims.

[0038] Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily practice the present invention. The present invention may be implemented in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. To clearly explain the present invention, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted in the drawings, and the same reference numerals designate identical or similar components throughout the specification.

[0039] The words and terms used in this specification and claims should not be construed as limited to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, but should be interpreted in a way that is consistent with the technical idea of ​​the present invention, in accordance with the principles by which the inventor can define terms and concepts in order to best explain his or her invention.

[0040] Therefore, the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations illustrated in the drawings correspond to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and do not represent all of the technical ideas of the present invention, so there may be various equivalents and modified examples that can replace the configuration at the time of filing of the present invention.

[0041] In this specification, terms such as “include” or “have” are intended to describe the presence of a feature, number, step, operation, component, part or combination thereof described in the specification, but should be understood not to exclude in advance the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts or combinations thereof.

[0042] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a mattress equipped with a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and is a view illustrating a state in which the massage device is not in use; FIG. 2 is a plan view of a mattress equipped with a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and is a view illustrating a state in which the massage device is not in use; FIG. 3 is a front view illustrating a pressure unit and a load unit equipped with a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 4 is a front view of a mattress equipped with a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and is a view illustrating a state in which the massage device is not in use. Here, the X direction is a longitudinal direction (the same direction as the direction in which the user's spine is arranged), the Y direction is a width direction, which is divided into one side and the other side in the width direction with the user's spine as the center, and the Z direction is a height direction, which is a direction in which the pressure unit rises or falls to adjust the degree of pressure on the user's body.

[0043] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a mattress equipped with a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a main body (200) provided with a first exposure hole (H1) so that a pressure portion (110) is exposed at a position higher than an upper surface supporting a user's body when the massage device (100) is used, and a second exposure hole (H2) extending from the first exposure hole (H1) so that a load portion (120) moves in the longitudinal direction (X) while the pressure portion (110) is exposed.

[0044] At this time, in order to use the massage device (100), the pressure part (110) moves to a first height higher than the upper surface of the main body (200) through the first exposure hole (H1), and this first height may be a height unrelated to the user's body shape. In addition, the pressure part (110) may move to a second height higher than the first height according to the user's body shape, thereby enabling an appropriate massage suited to the user's body shape. This first height may be a minimum height at which the pressure part (110) does not interfere with the upper surface of the main body (200), and the second height may be a height that is adjustable according to the user's body shape.

[0045] In addition, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the massage device (100) is provided with a pressing portion (110) that pressurizes the user's body, and a rod portion (120) that supports the pressing portion (110) and has a width direction (Y) length that is smaller than the width direction (Y) length of the pressing portion (110). The massage device (100) pressurizes the user's body while moving along the length direction (X) in a state where it is installed in the main body (200). The massage device (100) may be provided with a separate support frame (111) to which the pressing portion (110) is rotatably fixed, and the rod portion (120) may be connected to the support frame (111). The support frame (111) illustrated in FIG. 3 is an example, and the shape of the support frame (111) may be changed in various ways as long as the pressing portion (110) is rotatably fixed.

[0046] At this time, the width direction (Y) length of the second exposure hole (H2) provided in the main body (200) is formed to be smaller than the width direction (Y) length of the first exposure hole (H1). This is because when the pressure part (110) is exposed to a position higher than the upper surface of the main body (200) through the first exposure hole (H1) and the pressure part (110) moves in the length direction (X), the load part (120) moves through the second exposure hole (H2).

[0047] This main body (200) may be provided only in the part that supports the user's upper body, and the part that supports the user's lower body may be configured separately. Alternatively, the main body (200) may be configured to support not only the user's upper body but also the buttocks, and the part that supports the user's legs may be configured separately.

[0048] A separate leg may be provided so that the upper surface of the main body (200) is spaced apart from the ground, thereby allowing the user to receive a massage in a comfortable position.

[0049] These legs may be in the form of a frame capable of accommodating the main body (200), and for example, may be a bed frame capable of accommodating the main body (200). As another example, the legs may be manufactured in an approximately square band shape. That is, they may include a side frame corresponding to a side of the main body (200), a lower frame supported on the ground, and a connecting frame connecting the side frame and the lower frame. The above-described frames may be manufactured as a single unit, or may be manufactured separately and then combined. Here, the side frame may be manufactured in a plate shape, and the lower frame may be manufactured in a rod shape.

[0050] At this time, the pressing part (110) provided in the massage device (100) is equipped with a separate heating member to provide a thermal massage effect to the user. Since the pressing part (110) is positioned to pressurize one side and the other side in the width direction (Y) centered on the user's spine, a massage effect can be provided by pressing acupressure points (for example, acupressure points according to the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian) located on both sides along the user's spine.

[0051] In addition, the massage device (100) may be equipped with a lifting and lowering member so that the pressing member (110) can be raised or lowered along the height direction (Z). The lifting and lowering member may be equipped with a lifting and lowering member to which the pressing member (110) is connected, and a lifting and lowering driving member that raises or lowers the lifting and lowering member. For example, the lifting and lowering member may be a rack gear, the lifting and lowering driving member may be a driving motor, and a pinion gear that meshes with the rack gear may be equipped on a driving shaft of the driving motor. When the pinion gear rotates in one direction or the other according to the rotation of the driving shaft, the rack gear is raised or lowered.

[0052] At this time, the load member (120) supporting the pressurizing member (110) may be a lifting member. That is, the load member (120) may be a rack gear, and when the rack gear is engaged with a pinion gear provided on the drive shaft of the drive motor and the drive shaft rotates in one direction or the other, the rack gear rises or falls, thereby adjusting the height of the pressurizing member (110).

[0053] In addition, the massage device (100) may be provided with a transfer unit so that the pressure unit (110) moves along the longitudinal direction (X). The transfer unit may be provided with a plate-shaped transfer plate member on which the pressure unit (110) and the load unit (120) are arranged, and base ribs may be provided at both ends of the transfer plate member in the width direction (Y). A transfer drive member may be provided on the base rib, and the transfer drive member may be provided with a support roller so as to be movable along a guide rail arranged along the longitudinal direction (X). In addition, the transfer drive member may be provided with a separate transfer motor that provides a driving force so that the support roller moves along the guide rail.

[0054] That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the massage device (100) can be installed in a state of being embedded in the main body (200) and maintained in a hidden state, so that the user can lie down on the upper surface of the main body (200) and relax, and when the massage device (100) is used, the pressure part (110) is exposed to a position higher than the upper surface of the main body (200) and then moves in the longitudinal direction (X) to perform a massage.

[0055] In addition, since the width direction (Y) length of the second exposure hole (H2) is formed to be smaller than the width direction (Y) length of the first exposure hole (H1), when the massage device (100) is not in use, even if the user lies down on the upper surface of the main body (200), the user's body is minimized from falling into the second exposure hole (H2), thereby improving user convenience.

[0056] In addition, since the pressurizing portion (110) is completely exposed to the upper surface of the main body (200) through the first exposure hole (H1) and then moves along the second exposure hole (H2), interference between the pressurizing portion (110) and the second exposure hole (H2) can be effectively prevented when the massage device (100) moves in the longitudinal direction (X). This has the advantage of ensuring the operational stability of the massage device (100).

[0057] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a mattress equipped with a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and is a drawing showing a state in which a support portion is moved upward for using the massage device; FIG. 6 is a front view of a mattress equipped with a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and is a drawing showing a state in which a pressure portion is exposed for using the massage device; and FIG. 7 is a plan view of a mattress equipped with a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and is a drawing showing a state in which the massage device is used.

[0058] As illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, the main body (200) includes a massage unit (210) in which a massage area (ZM) for massaging the user's body is formed through a pressure unit (110), and a support unit (220) in which a support area (ZS) for supporting the user's body is formed by being disposed on both sides of the width direction (Y) of the massage unit (210). When the massage device (100) is not in use, the upper surface of the massage unit (210) and the upper surface of the support unit (220) are disposed at the same height, and when the massage device (100) is in use, the upper surface of the support unit (220) can be disposed at a higher position than the upper surface of the massage unit (210).

[0059] At this time, when using the massage device (100), the upper surface of the support part (220) is positioned higher than the upper surface of the massage part (210), so that the user's body can be positioned apart from the upper surface of the massage part (210) while being supported by the support part (220).

[0060] That is, since the massage is performed while the user's body is sunk into the upper part of the massage unit (210) using gravity, an effective massage using gravity is possible.

[0061] In addition, a cover part covering the upper surface of the main body (200) may be provided to prevent the user's body from being excessively sunken into the upper portion of the massage part (210). The cover part may be formed of an elastic material, which not only prevents the user's body from being excessively sunken, but also enables effective massage as the pressure applied through the pressure part (110) is transmitted through the cover part.

[0062] In addition, since the user's body is stably supported by the support member (220) and is spaced upward from the upper surface of the massage member (210), even if the pressure member (110) is completely exposed to the upper surface of the main body (200) through the first exposure hole (H1), the magnitude of the pressure applied through the pressure member (110) is reduced, thereby minimizing discomfort felt by the user. When the massage device (100) is used, the height of the pressure member (110) is adjusted, enabling an appropriate massage that fits the user's body shape.

[0063] As shown in Fig. 4, the massage device (100) can be installed embedded in the massage unit (210), and if configured in this way, the volume of the entire mattress can be reduced, making it miniaturized and simplifying the configuration.

[0064] At this time, when using the massage device (100), as shown in FIG. 6, the pressure part (110) is exposed to the upper surface of the massage part (210), and then, as shown in FIG. 7, the pressure part (110) moves along the longitudinal direction (X), enabling effective massage.

[0065] FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are front views of a mattress equipped with a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and are drawings showing a modified example in which a height adjustment part is provided on the main body. FIG. 8 is a drawing showing a state in which the support part does not move upward, and FIG. 9 is a drawing showing a state in which the support part moves upward.

[0066] As illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9, the main body (200) may further include a height adjustment unit (230) for adjusting the height of the support unit (220) along the height direction (Z). Through this, when the massage device (100) is used, the upper surface of the support unit (220) is positioned higher than the upper surface of the massage unit (210), and the user's body is supported by the support unit (220) and spaced apart from the upper surface of the massage unit (210). When gravity is applied to the user's body, the user's body sinks into the upper portion of the massage unit (210), and massage is performed in this state, thereby enabling effective massage using gravity. In addition, since the user's body is spaced upward from the upper surface of the massage unit (210), even if the pressure unit (110) is completely exposed to the upper surface of the main body (200) through the first exposure hole (H1), the magnitude of the pressure applied through the pressure unit (110) is reduced, thereby minimizing any discomfort felt by the user. When the massage device (100) is used, the height of the pressure unit (110) is adjusted, enabling an appropriate massage to be performed according to the user's body shape.

[0067] As illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9, the height adjustment unit (230) can move the support unit (220) upward. That is, the height can be increased by moving the support unit (220) upward so that the upper surface of the support unit (220) is positioned higher than the upper surface of the massage unit (210). If the upper surface of the support unit (220) is positioned higher than the upper surface of the massage unit (210) by moving the support unit (220) upward, there is no need to create a separate space in the main body (200) compared to the method of moving the massage unit (210) downward as the support unit (220) moves upward, thereby enabling the main body (200) to be miniaturized.

[0068] Alternatively, the height adjustment unit (230) may be configured to move the support unit (220) downward so that the upper surface of the massage unit (210) is positioned higher than the upper surface of the support unit (220). At this time, the height adjustment unit (230) may be configured to move the massage unit (210) upward while the height of the support unit (220) is fixed so that the upper surface of the massage unit (210) is positioned higher than the upper surface of the support unit (220). With this configuration, the intensity of the massage can be adjusted to increase or decrease through the height adjustment unit (230).

[0069] As illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9, the height adjustment unit (230) may include a lifting member (231) that pushes up the lower surface of the support member (220). That is, one end of the lifting member (231) is fixed to the massage member (210), and the other end of the lifting member (231) is configured to be fixed to the lower surface of the support member (220). In this way, when the lifting member (231) operates while both ends of the lifting member (231) are fixed, the support member (220) moves upward along the height direction (Z) while the height of the massage member (210) is fixed. This massage member (210) may be arranged to have a fixed height on a separate bed frame.

[0070] Alternatively, the height adjustment unit (230) may be configured to adjust the height of the massage unit (210) along the height direction (Z). For example, the height adjustment unit (230) may move the height of the massage unit (210) downward along the height direction (Z). That is, the height may be lowered by moving the massage unit (210) downward so that the upper surface of the support unit (220) is positioned higher than the upper surface of the massage unit (210). To this end, the height adjustment unit (230) may include a lifting member (231) that pulls down the lower surface of the massage unit (210). That is, one end of the lifting member (231) is fixed to the massage unit (210), and the other end of the lifting member (231) is fixed to the lower surface of the support unit (220). When the lifting member (231) is operated while both ends of the lifting member (231) are fixed in this way, the massage member (210) moves downward along the height direction (Z) while the height of the support member (220) is fixed. This support member (220) can be arranged so that its height is fixed on a separate bed frame.

[0071] At this time, a rail portion arranged along the height direction (Z) may be provided between the massage portion (210) and the support portion (220) so that the support portion (220) can rise or fall stably. This rail portion may include a first rail installed on the massage portion and a second rail installed on the support portion (220), and the second rail may be configured to be able to slide along the first rail during the process in which the support portion (220) rises or falls along the height direction (Z).

[0072] FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a mattress equipped with a massage device according to another embodiment of the present invention, illustrating a state in which the massage device is not in use, and FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a mattress equipped with a massage device according to another embodiment of the present invention, illustrating a state in which the support part is moved upward for using the massage device.

[0073] As illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, the main body (200) may further include a base portion (240) that supports the lower surfaces of the massage portion (210) and the support portion (220). That is, when the base portion (240) is provided, the lower surfaces of the massage portion (210) and the support portion (220) can be stably supported, thereby improving structural stability and facilitating mattress movement and installation, thereby improving user convenience.

[0074] As illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, the massage unit (210) may be integrally extended from the base unit (240). The massage unit (210) may be provided with a first exposure hole (H1) and a second exposure hole (H2), and the massage device (100) may be embedded and installed inside the base unit (240). At this time, it is preferable that the massage unit (210) have a sufficient thickness to support the user's load. Alternatively, the first exposure hole (H1) and the second exposure hole (H2) may be provided at an upper portion of the massage unit (210) in the height direction (Z), and the massage device (100) may be embedded and installed at a lower portion of the massage unit (210) in the height direction (Z) and inside the base unit (240).

[0075] In addition, the support part (220) can be placed and secured on the upper surface of the base part (240) when the massage device (100) is not in use, and can be placed apart from the base part (240) in the height direction (Z) when the massage device (100) is in use. That is, when the massage device (100) is in use, the support part (220) is placed and secured from the base part (240) in the height direction (Z), and when the use of the massage device (100) is finished, the support part (220) is lowered and placed and secured on the upper surface of the base part (240), so that when the user lies down on the upper surface of the main body (200) to rest, the height of the support part (220) is stably fixed, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0076] At this time, a height adjustment part (230) can be installed embedded in the base part (240). With this configuration, when the massage device (100) is not in use, the support part (220) can be positioned and secured on the upper surface of the base part (240), thereby preventing external exposure of the height adjustment part (230).

[0077] FIGS. 12 and 13 are perspective views of a mattress equipped with a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and are views showing a modified example in which a connecting portion is provided on the main body, FIG. 12 is a view showing a state in which a support portion does not move upward, and FIG. 13 is a view showing a state in which a support portion moves upward, and FIGS. 14 and 15 are perspective views of a mattress equipped with a massage device according to another embodiment of the present invention, and are views showing a modified example in which a connecting portion is provided on the main body, and FIG. 14 is a view showing a state in which a support portion does not move upward, and FIG. 15 is a view showing a state in which a support portion moves upward.

[0078] As illustrated in FIGS. 12 and 13, the main body (200) further includes a connecting portion (250) that connects a pair of support portions (220) spaced apart from each other along the width direction (Y), and the connecting portion (250) may be disposed above or below the support portion (220) in the longitudinal direction (X). That is, when the connecting portion (250) is disposed above the support portion (220), the user's neck or head or both the neck and head are supported when the support portion (220) moves upward, so that the user can receive a massage in a comfortable state, and since the pair of support portions (220) move upward simultaneously, the operation stability is improved. Alternatively, when the connecting portion (250) is disposed below the support portion (220), the user's lower body is supported when the support portion (220) moves upward, so that the user can receive a massage in a comfortable state, and since the pair of support portions (220) move upward simultaneously, the operation stability is improved. In addition, the connecting portion (250) can be placed both above and below the longitudinal direction (X) of the support portion (220).

[0079] At this time, even when the base part (240) supporting the lower surface of the massage part (210) and the support part (220) is provided as illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15, the main body (200) may further include a connecting part (250) connecting a pair of support parts (220) spaced apart from each other along the width direction (Y), and this connecting part (250) may be arranged above the support part (220) in the length direction (X). That is, when the massage device (100) is used, the connecting part (250) is also spaced apart from the base part (240) along the height direction (Z) together with the support part (220), and when the use of the massage device (100) is finished, the connecting part (250) is also lowered together with the support part (220) and is placed on the upper surface of the base part (240).

[0080] As illustrated in FIG. 1, the main body (200) may further include a control unit (260) that controls the operation of the massage device (100) and the height adjustment unit (230). This control unit (260) may control the support unit (220) to first move upward when the massage device (100) is used, and may control the pressurizing unit (110) to be exposed after the support unit (220) moves upward. That is, the control unit (260) sequentially controls the support unit (220) to move upward, the pressurizing unit (110) to be exposed to the upper surface of the main body (200), and the operation of the massage device (100) to be initiated.

[0081] Alternatively, the main body (200) may further include a control unit (260) that controls the operation of the massage device (100) and the height adjustment unit (230), and the control unit (260) may control the massage unit (210) to first move downward when the massage device (100) is used, and may control the pressure unit (110) to be exposed after the massage unit (210) moves downward. That is, the control unit (260) sequentially controls the massage unit (210) to move downward, the pressure unit (110) to be exposed to the upper surface of the main body (200), and the operation of the massage device (100) to be initiated.

[0082] At this time, the main body (200) may further include a detection unit capable of detecting the height of the support unit (220). That is, the control unit (260) controls the operation of the massage device (100) so that the pressure unit (110) is exposed when an upward movement signal (full lifting signal) of the support unit (220) is input through the detection unit, thereby preventing the user from being injured.

[0083] As previously discussed, the mattress equipped with a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention can maintain a hidden state by installing the massage device (100) embedded in the main body (200), so that the user can lie down on the upper surface of the main body (200) and rest, and when the massage device (100) is used, the pressure part (110) is exposed at a position higher than the upper surface of the main body (200) and then moves in the longitudinal direction (X) to perform a massage.

[0084] In addition, since the width direction (Y) length of the second exposure hole (H2) is formed to be smaller than the width direction (Y) length of the first exposure hole (H1), when the massage device (100) is not in use, even if the user lies down on the upper surface of the main body (200), the user's body is minimized from falling into the second exposure hole (H2), thereby improving user convenience.

[0085] In addition, since the pressurizing portion (110) is completely exposed to the upper surface of the main body (200) through the first exposure hole (H1) and then moves along the second exposure hole (H2), interference between the pressurizing portion (110) and the second exposure hole (H2) can be effectively prevented when the massage device (100) moves in the longitudinal direction (X). This has the advantage of ensuring the operational stability of the massage device (100).

[0086] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described, the spirit of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments presented in this specification, and those skilled in the art who understand the spirit of the present invention will be able to easily propose other embodiments by adding, changing, deleting, or adding components within the scope of the same spirit, but this will also be considered to fall within the spirit of the present invention.
