HEEL ACUPRESSURE APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heel acupressure apparatus that performs acupressure of a plurality of portions of a heel in turn without requiring power supply.SOLUTION: The heel acupressure apparatus according to the present invention is provided with: an operation bar that vertically moves, by using a first elastic body, according to downward pressing force applied by the heel of a sole to operate a position change mechanism that changes acupressure positions of the heel; acupressure bars that are respectively disposed at predetermined positions surrounding the operation bar as the center with a space therebetween, and that vertically move, by using a second elastic body, according to the pressing force applied by the heel, to perform acupressure of the heel with an upper end part; and an acupressure position designation mechanism that prevents, when each of the acupressure bars goes downward due to the pressing force of the heel, descent of the acupressure bars corresponding to the acupressure positions changed by the position change mechanism such that the heel is pressed by the upper end parts of the acupressure bars. The position change mechanism prevents the descent of the acupressure bars and causes the acupressure position designation mechanism to change the acupressure position every time when the operation bar goes downward according to the pressing force of the heel.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】電力供給を不要とし、踵の複数箇所を順番に指圧する踵の指圧器を提供する。【解決手段】本発明による踵の指圧器は、第１の弾性体を利用して、足裏の踵による下向きの押圧に応じて上下し、上記踵の指圧位置を変更させる位置変更機構を操作する操作棒と、上記操作棒を中心としてその周りに間隔をおいて囲む予め定めた位置に各々配置され、第２の弾性体を利用して上記踵による押圧に応じて上下し、上端部により上記踵を指圧する指圧棒と、上記各々の指圧棒が上記踵による押圧で下降するときに、上記位置変更機構により変更される指圧位置に対応する指圧棒の下降を阻止することにより、該指圧棒の上記上端部で上記踵を指圧させる指圧位置指定機構と、を備え、上記位置変更機構は、上記踵による押圧に応じて上記操作棒が下降する度に、上記指圧位置指定機構に対して上記指圧棒の下降を阻止して上記指圧位置を変更させる。【選択図】 図１
