MASSAGE APPLIANCE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems that there are hard, cold and painful touches which are not always familiar when a conventional massage appliance is in contact with the skin, and since the conventional massage appliance is made of a resin mold, metal or wood, there is anxiety about or uneasiness of an allergy to a material since the resin as a chemical material is used, and further, there is an appliance using a carbon material as a base and obtained by coating a far infrared radiation material but the material is peeled. SOLUTION: In the massage appliance, its portion in direct or indirect contact with the skin of a human body is composed of a carbon material, and the curvature radius of the contact portion ranges from 0.1mm to 15mm. Thus, the carbon material of high far infrared radiation discharge capability, high hardness and small electric resistance is selected, the carbon material itself is worked into sharpened form and the curvature radius of the portion in direct or indirect contact with the skin of the human body is selected to obtain excellent touches and massage effects. Besides, a heat generating body is installed in the carbon material, a magnet is installed, and further, a natural material such as charcoal or bamboo charcoal is used as the carbon material, thereby obtaining further validated massage effects.
