MASSAGE DEVICE

To give a massage to a treatment region of a wider range in an air bag type massage device.SOLUTION: A massage device of the present invention includes: a massage body 1 composed of two treatment air bags 15A and 15B, and a moving air bag 26 connected between the two air bags 15A and 15B; an air pump 2 and a distributor 3 for supplying pressurized air to these air bags 15A, 15B, and 26; and control means 4. The moving air bag 26 is configured so as to expand and contract to an expanded posture in which it expands and deforms along the treatment part by receiving supply of the pressurized air, and to a stand-by posture in which it contracts along the treatment part while the pressurized air is discharged. The control means 4 expands and contracts the treatment air bags 15 (15A and 15B) mounted on the treatment part and gives a massage at a plurality of places between a state that the moving air bag 26 contracts to the stand-by posture and a state in which the moving air bag 26 expands to an expanded state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】エアバッグ式のマッサージ装置において、より広範の施療領域に対してマッサージできるようにする。【解決手段】本発明のマッサージ装置は、２個の施療エアバッグ１５Ａ・１５Ｂと、両エアバッグ１５Ａ・１５Ｂの間に連結される移動エアバッグ２６とで構成されるマッサージ体１と、これらエアバッグ１５Ａ・１５Ｂ・２６に加圧空気を供給するエアポンプ２及び分配器３と、制御手段４などを備える。移動エアバッグ２６は、加圧空気の供給を受けて施療部位に沿って伸張変形する増伸姿勢と、加圧空気が排気されて施療部位に沿って収縮する待機姿勢とに膨縮可能に構成されている。そして、制御手段４は、移動エアバッグ２６が待機姿勢に収縮した状態と、移動エアバッグ２６が増伸姿勢に伸張変形した状態との間の複数個所で、施療部位に装着した施療エアバッグ１５（１５Ａ・１５Ｂ）を膨縮させてマッサージを行う。【選択図】図１
