The concave portion 28B is provided at a portion corresponding to the convex portion 28A of the first fabric 21, for example. In one example, the convex portion 28A is fitted into the concave portion 28B, whereby the third fabric 23 is coupled to the first fabric 21 and a state where a part of the massage portion 50 is not exposed to the outside is formed (see FIG. 1). Further, by separating the convex portion 28A and the concave portion 28B, a state in which at least a part of the third fabric 23 can be rolled is formed (see FIG. 13).

  As shown in FIG. 3, main elements constituting the massage unit 50 are at least one airbag 60 and a main body 70. In one example, main elements constituting the massage unit 50 are a plurality of airbags 60 and a main body 70. The plurality of airbags 60 and the main body 70 are functionally coupled to each other to form the massage unit 50. The plurality of airbags 60 massage the lower leg L. The plurality of airbags 60 operate independently of each other. Since the lower leg L is massaged by the plurality of airbags 60, various massage effects can be provided to the user. The plurality of airbags 60 are constituted by a pair of sheets 60A welded to each other, for example. The material which comprises a pair of sheet | seat 60A can be selected arbitrarily. In one example, the material constituting the pair of sheets 60A is a flexible silicone rubber. The plurality of airbags 60 are provided between the first fabric 21 and the second fabric 22. In one example, the plurality of airbags 60 are attached to the second fabric 22. The main body 70 inflates and contracts the plurality of airbags 60. In one example, the main body 70 is attached to the plurality of airbags 60 so as to sandwich the plurality of airbags 60 between the second fabric 22. Note that the air massage apparatus 1 in FIG. 3 omits the first fabric 21 and some of the elements related to the first fabric 21.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the plurality of airbags 60 include a first airbag 61, a second airbag 62, and a third airbag 63. In one example, a plurality of airbags 60 are configured by welding a pair of sheets 60A so as to partition each of the airbags 61-63. The first airbag 61 and the second airbag 62 are arranged in the first direction D1. The first airbag 61 is provided in the center of the leg covering portion 20 in the first direction D1. The 1st airbag 61 massages the back of a gastrocnemius, for example. The first airbag 61 is long in the second direction D2, for example.

  The second airbag 62 is configured to sandwich the first airbag 61 in the first direction D1. The second airbag 62 massages the side of the gastrocnemius, for example. The second airbag 62 includes a first side airbag 62A, a second side airbag 62B, and a connecting portion 62C. The first side airbag 62A is located next to one side 61A of the first airbag 61 in the first direction D1. The first side airbag 62A is long in the second direction D2, for example. The second side airbag 62B is located next to the other side 61B of the first airbag 61 in the first direction D1. The second side airbag 62B is, for example, long in the second direction D2. In one example, the first airbag 61 is provided between the first side airbag 62A and the second side airbag 62B. For this reason, when the second airbag 62 is inflated, the user is given a feeling of grabbing the lower leg L. In addition, when the first airbag 61 is inflated while the second airbag 62 is inflated, the first airbag 61 is restricted from expanding in the first direction D1 by the second airbag 62. The amount of expansion toward the lower leg L side of the bag 61 increases. The first side airbag 62A and the second side airbag 62B have a line-symmetric relationship with respect to the center line in the first direction D1 of the leg covering portion 20. The connecting portion 62C connects the first side airbag 62A and the second side airbag 62B. The connecting portion 62C is long in the first direction D1. In one example, the air flows through the connecting portion 62C so that the expansion amount of the first side airbag 62A and the expansion amount of the second side airbag 62B are substantially the same.

  The width WC of the connecting portion 62C in the second direction D2 is narrower than the width WA of the first side airbag 62A in the first direction D1 and the width WB of the second side airbag 62B in the first direction D1. In one example, the width WC of the connecting portion 62C is narrower than the width WA of the narrowest portion of the first side airbag 62A and the width WB of the narrowest portion of the second side airbag 62B. The width WA of the first side airbag 62A is substantially the same as the width WB of the second side airbag 62B. In this case, since the first side airbag 62A and the second side airbag 62B are inflated more than the connecting portion 62C, the massage effect by the second airbag 62 is enhanced. The width WC of the connecting portion 62C is determined so that the connecting portion 62C does not substantially expand when air is supplied to the second airbag 62. When the connecting portion 62C does not substantially expand, a portion of the lower leg L corresponding to the connecting portion 62C is not substantially massaged. The area of the second airbag 62 that overlaps the main body 70 overlaps the area of the first airbag 61 that overlaps the main body 70 and the area of the third airbag 63 that overlaps the main body 70. It is smaller than the area of the part.

  The third airbag 63 is aligned with at least one of the first airbag 61 and the second airbag 62 in the second direction D2. The third airbag 63 massages the soleus muscle, for example. The third airbag 63 is long in the first direction D1. In one example, the third airbag 63 is configured to sandwich the connecting portion 62C with the first airbag 61 in the second direction D2. For example, the third airbag 63 is disposed below the first airbag 61 and the second airbag 62 in the second direction D2. The third airbag 63 is configured to sandwich the connecting portion 62C in the first direction D1.

  A general airbag has a larger amount of expansion as it approaches the center from the edge. That is, the portion near the edge of the airbag has a relatively small expansion amount. In the air massage device 1, since the connecting portion 62C of the second airbag 62 is provided between the first airbag 61 and the third airbag 63, a portion with a relatively small amount of expansion is placed on the connecting portion 62C and its periphery. concentrate. In this case, of the plurality of airbags 60, the portions other than the connecting portion 62C and the periphery thereof are efficiently inflated. For this reason, the lower leg L can be suitably massaged by the plurality of airbags 60.

  The first airbag 61 is provided with a first supply port 64A. In one example, air is supplied or discharged through the first supply port 64A, and the first airbag 61 is inflated or contracted. The second airbag 62 is provided with a second supply port 64B. In one example, air is supplied or discharged through the second supply port 64B, and the second airbag 62 is expanded or contracted. The arrangement of the second supply port 64B can be arbitrarily selected. In one example, the second supply port 64B is provided in the connecting portion 62C. The third air bag 63 is provided with a third supply port 64C. In one example, air is supplied or discharged through the third supply port 64C, and the third airbag 63 is inflated or contracted. The first supply port 64A, the second supply port 64B, and the third supply port 64C are arranged along the second direction D2. In one example, the first supply port 64A and the third supply port 64C sandwich the connecting portion 62C in the second direction D2. Since the supply ports 64A to 64C are brought close to each other in this way, the supply paths 92 (see FIG. 6) connected to the supply ports 64A to 64C can be concentrated, so that the air massage device 1 is simply configured. it can.

Composed. An example of the material constituting the base 81 is resin. An example of the resin is ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) resin. The resin base 81 is a molded product. The base 81 is long in the second direction D2, for example. The inner surface 81A of the base 81 has, for example, a convex shape that rises toward the center in the first direction D1.

  The cover 83 includes a main body cover 84 and a power supply cover 85. The body cover 84 is attached to the base 81 so as to cover the base 81. The main body cover 84 is attached to the base 81 by a plurality of screws 87A, for example. The material constituting the body cover 84 can be arbitrarily selected. In one example, the material constituting the main body cover 84 is the same as the material constituting the base 81. The two-dimensional shape of the main body cover 84 in the front view is substantially the same as the two-dimensional shape of the base 81 in the front view. The outer surface 84A of the main body cover 84 has, for example, a convex shape that rises toward the center in the first direction. That is, the main body cover 84 swells with respect to the base 81 so as to accommodate various elements attached to the base 81. The body cover 84 includes an exposed portion 84 </ b> C that exposes the power supply portion 91. The exposed portion 84C is a hole that follows the shape of the power supply portion 91, for example.

  The power supply cover 85 is attached to the main body cover 84 so as to cover the power supply unit 91. In one example, the power supply cover 85 is attached to the main body cover 84 via the cover attachment portion 86. The cover attaching portion 86 is attached to the main body cover 84 by, for example, a plurality of screws 87B. The power supply cover 85 is a flat plate, for example. The power supply cover 85 is configured to be detachable from the cover mounting portion 86. In one example, the power supply cover 85 is configured to be slidable with respect to the cover mounting portion 86. The power supply cover 85 is attached to the cover attachment portion 86 by sliding the power supply cover 85 with respect to the cover attachment portion 86 so that the power supply cover 85 and the cover attachment portion 86 are engaged with each other.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the base 81 includes a first attachment portion 82A to which the air pump 90 is attached, a second attachment portion 82B to which the flow path switching portion 100 is attached, a third attachment portion 82C to which the power supply portion 91 is attached, and a control. A fourth attachment portion 82D to which the portion 93 is attached and an arrangement portion 82F in which the supply path 92 is arranged are included. The first attachment portion 82A, the second attachment portion 82B, the third attachment portion 82C, the fourth attachment portion 82D, and the arrangement portion 82F are provided on the inner surface 81A of the base 81, respectively.

  The air pump 90 is configured to be able to supply air to the plurality of airbags 60. In one example, the air discharged from the air pump 90 is supplied to the plurality of airbags 60. The discharge air volume of the air pump 90 is set to a discharge air volume that can suitably massage the lower leg L. For example, the air pump 90 is long in the second direction D2. That is, the longitudinal direction of the air pump 90 is the same as the longitudinal direction of the base 81. For this reason, the base 81 can be configured in a space-saving manner. The air pump 90 is provided between the first fabric 21 and the second fabric 22, for example. In one example, the air pump 90 is attached to the first attachment portion 82A. For this reason, the sound of the air discharged from the air pump 90 is soundproofed by the first fabric 21 and the second fabric 22. In this case, it is preferable that the first fabric 21 and the second fabric 22 have high sound insulation properties. For example, the first attachment portion 82A is provided at the center of the base 81 in the second direction D2. Specifically, the first attachment portion 82A is provided on the inner surface 81A of the base 81 at the center in the second direction D2 and on the left side in the first direction D1. The shape of the first attachment portion 82A is recessed, for example, along the shape of the air pump 90 (not shown). In the example shown in FIG. 7, a portion of the outer surface 81 </ b> B of the base 81 that corresponds to the first attachment portion 82 </ b> A (hereinafter “expansion portion 81 </ b> C”) is configured to expand.

  As FIG. 6 shows, the main elements which comprise the flow-path switching part 100 are at least 1 solenoid valve. In one example, the main elements constituting the flow path switching unit 100 are a plurality of electromagnetic valves 101 to 103. The plurality of electromagnetic valves 101 to 103 are provided between the first fabric 21 and the second fabric 22, for example. In one example, the plurality of solenoid valves 101 to 103 are attached to the second attachment portion 82B. For example, the second attachment portion 82B is provided at the center of the base 81 in the second direction D2. Specifically, the second attachment portion 82B is provided on the inner surface 81A of the base 81 at the center in the second direction D2 and on the right side in the first direction D1. That is, the plurality of solenoid valves 101 to 103 are disposed at substantially the same position as the air pump 90 in the second direction D2.

  The plurality of solenoid valves 101 to 103 includes a first solenoid valve 101, a second solenoid valve 102, and a third solenoid valve 103. The first solenoid valve 101, the second solenoid valve 102, and the third solenoid valve 103 are arranged along the second direction D2. The first solenoid valve 101 is, for example, a three-way solenoid valve. The first solenoid valve 101 switches the supply and discharge states of air related to the first airbag 61. In one example, the first electromagnetic valve 101 can switch between a state in which the air pump 90 and the first supply port 64A are connected and a state in which the first supply port 64A and the first discharge port 101A are connected. 101 A of 1st discharge ports are provided in the 1st solenoid valve 101, for example. When the air pump 90 and the first supply port 64 </ b> A are connected, the air discharged from the air pump 90 is supplied to the first airbag 61. When the first supply port 64A and the first discharge port 101A are connected, the air in the first airbag 61 is exhausted.

  The second solenoid valve 102 is, for example, a three-way solenoid valve. The second electromagnetic valve 102 switches the supply and discharge states of air related to the second airbag 62. In one example, the second solenoid valve 102 can switch between a state in which the air pump 90 and the second supply port 64B are connected and a state in which the second supply port 64B and the second discharge port 102A are connected. The second discharge port 102A is provided in the second electromagnetic valve 102, for example. When the air pump 90 and the second supply port 64 </ b> B are connected, the air discharged from the air pump 90 is supplied to the second airbag 62. When the second supply port 64B and the second discharge port 102A are connected, the air in the second airbag 62 is exhausted.

  The third solenoid valve 103 is, for example, a three-way solenoid valve. The third solenoid valve 103 switches the supply and discharge states of air related to the third airbag 63. In one example, the third electromagnetic valve 103 can switch between a state in which the air pump 90 and the third supply port 64C are connected and a state in which the third supply port 64C and the third discharge port 103A are connected. The third discharge port 103A is provided in the third electromagnetic valve 103, for example. When the air pump 90 and the third supply port 64 </ b> C are connected, the air discharged from the air pump 90 is supplied to the third airbag 63. When the third supply port 64C and the third discharge port 103A are connected, the air in the third airbag 63 is exhausted.

  The power supply unit 91 supplies power to electrical elements included in the main body 70. In one example, the power supply unit 91 supplies power to the air pump 90 and the control unit 93. The power supply unit 91 is provided between the first fabric 21 and the second fabric 22, for example. Since the airbag 60 is arrange | positioned between the power supply part 91 and the 2nd fabric 22, the heat of the power supply part 91 is hard to be transmitted to a user. In one example, the power supply unit 91 is attached to the third attachment portion 82C. For example, the third attachment portion 82C is provided below the air pump 90 in the second direction D2. A main element constituting the power supply unit 91 is a battery 91A. The battery 91A is long in the second direction D2, for example. That is, the longitudinal direction of the battery 91 </ b> A is the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the base 81. For this reason, the base 81 can be configured in a space-saving manner. The battery 91A is a primary battery or a secondary battery. In one example, battery 91A is an AA battery. An example of the number of the batteries 91A is two.

  The supply path 92 connects the air pump 90 and the air bag 60 so that the air discharged from the air pump 90 is supplied to the plurality of air bags 60. In one example, the supply path 92 connects the air pump 90 and the electromagnetic valves 101 to 103. The supply path 92 is provided between the first fabric 21 and the second fabric 22, for example. In one example, the supply path 92 is arranged in the arrangement unit 82F. For example, the arrangement portion 82F is provided around the power supply unit 91 so that the supply path 92 extends from the air pump 90 to bypass the power supply unit 91 and is connected to each of the electromagnetic valves 101 to 103. The shape of the placement portion 82F around the power supply portion 91 is recessed along the shape of the supply path 92 (not shown). In the example shown in FIG. 7, the placement portion 82F around the power supply portion 91 is The corresponding part is configured to swell.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 93 is electrically connected to the air pump 90, the power supply unit 91, and each of the electromagnetic valves 101 to 103 via electric wires EW. At least a part of the electric wire EW is wired so as to pass between the air pump 90 and the flow path switching unit 100 in the first direction D1. The control unit 93 is driven by, for example, power supplied from the power supply unit 91 and controls the air pump 90 and the electromagnetic valves 101 to 103 in accordance with the operation of the operation device 110. The controller 93 is provided between the first fabric 21 and the second fabric 22, for example. In one example, the controller 93 is attached to the fourth attachment portion 82D. For example, the fourth attachment portion 82D is provided above the air pump 90 in the second direction D2. In one example, the air pump 90 and the flow path switching unit 100 are disposed between the control unit 93 and the power supply unit 91 in the second direction D2. A main element constituting the control unit 93 is a circuit board 93A. For example, the circuit board 93A is long in the second direction D2. That is, the longitudinal direction of the circuit board 93 </ b> A is the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the base 81. For this reason, the base 81 can be configured in a space-saving manner.

  The air massage device 1 further includes a soundproofing unit 94 for soundproofing the massager 50. The soundproofing unit 94 is soundproofing the sound generated from the massage unit 50. Soundproofing means that the sound generated from the massage unit 50 is reduced so as not to cause discomfort to the user, or the sound generated from the massage unit 50 is not transmitted to the user. The soundproofing method of the soundproofing unit 94 is at least one of sound insulation, sound absorption, silence, and vibration isolation, for example. When the sound insulation method of the sound insulation unit 94 is sound insulation, the sound insulation unit 94 includes, for example, a sound insulation structure (not shown). The sound insulation structure is configured so that the sound generated from the massage unit 50 does not leak to the outside of the mounting unit 10 or the sound leaking to the outside of the mounting unit 10 is reduced. In one example, the sound insulation structure is configured by a mounting portion that includes a cloth having high sound insulation properties, or a housing portion that houses the massage portion 50 in a sealed space. When the soundproofing method of the soundproofing unit 94 is sound absorption, the soundproofing unit 94 includes, for example, a sound absorbing material (not shown). Examples of the sound absorbing material are glass wool and rock wool. The sound absorbing material is provided, for example, in at least one of the airbag 60, the base 81, the cover 83, the air pump 90, the supply path 92, and the mounting portion 10. When a sound absorbing material is provided in the airbag 60, the air pump 90, and the supply path 92, the sound absorbing material covers, for example, at least part of the target element. In the case where a sound absorbing material is provided in the mounting portion 10, the sound absorbing material is included, for example, in the fabric constituting the mounting portion 10. When the soundproofing method of the soundproofing unit 94 is mute, the soundproofing unit 94 includes, for example, a silencer 94A. The silencer 94A is provided, for example, in at least one of the supply ports 64A to 64C of the airbag 60, the discharge port (not shown) of the air pump 90, and the supply path 92. When the sound insulation method of the sound insulation unit 94 is vibration isolation, the sound insulation unit 94 includes, for example, vibration isolation rubber (not shown). The anti-vibration rubber is provided in at least one of the airbag 60, the base 81, the cover 83, the air pump 90, and the supply path 92, for example.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, the soundproofing method of the soundproofing unit 94 is mute. The sound insulation unit 94 includes a silencer 94A. The silencer 94A silences the sound of the air discharged from the air pump 90. The sound of the air discharged from the air pump 90 includes, for example, an operation sound of the air pump 90 and a resonance sound. The silencer 94A is, for example, an expandable silencer. In one example, the silencer 94A is configured in an L shape. The silencer 94A is provided between the first fabric 21 and the second fabric 22, for example. In one example, the silencer 94 </ b> A is provided in the massage unit 50. Specifically, the silencer 94 </ b> A is provided in the supply path 92. Since the sound of the air discharged from the air pump 90 is silenced by the silencer 94A before being transmitted to the airbag 60, the sound of the air discharged from the air pump 90 can be suitably soundproofed. Moreover, since the distance between the air pump 90 and the silencer 94A is short, the sound of the air discharged from the air pump 90 can be suitably soundproofed.

  The base 81 further includes a fifth attachment portion 82E to which the soundproof portion 94 is attached. That is, the silencer 94A is attached to the fifth attachment portion 82E. For example, the fifth attachment portion 82E is provided at the center of the base 81 in the second direction D2. Specifically, the fifth attachment portion 82E is provided on the inner surface 81A of the base 81 at the center in the second direction D2 and on the right side of the flow path switching portion 100 in the first direction D1.

  The supply path 92 includes a first supply path 92A and a second supply path 92B. The first supply path 92A connects, for example, the air pump 90 and the silencer 94A. In one example, the first supply path 92A extends from the air pump 90 and bypasses the power supply unit 91 and is connected to the silencer 94A. The second supply path 92B connects, for example, the silencer 94A and each of the electromagnetic valves 101 to 103. In one example, the second supply path 92B extends from the silencer 94A, branches into three supply paths, and is connected to each of the electromagnetic valves 101 to 103.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the outer surface 81B of the base 81 has, for example, a concave shape that is recessed toward the center in the first direction D1. This concave shape is determined based on the shape of the lower leg L of a person having a general body shape, for example. The inner surface 84B of the main body cover 84 has, for example, a concave shape that is recessed toward the center in the first direction D1. Therefore, various elements can be accommodated in the space between the inner surface 81 </ b> A of the base 81 and the inner surface 84 </ b> B of the main body cover 84.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the two-dimensional shape of the base 81 in the front view is determined based on the shape of the lower leg L of a person having a general body shape. Specifically, the two-dimensional shape of the base 81 in the front view follows the shape of the calves and ankles. In one example, in the length of the base 81 in the first direction D1, the length of the portion of the base 81 where the air pump 90 is disposed (hereinafter referred to as “first length L1”) is disposed of the power supply unit 91. It is longer than the length of the portion (hereinafter “second length L2”). The portion of the base 81 where the air pump 90 is disposed corresponds to the calf. The first length L1 is determined based on the thickness of a general calf. The portion of the base 81 where the power supply unit 91 is disposed corresponds to the ankle. The second length L2 is determined based on a general ankle thickness.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in a state where the leg covering portion 20 is attached to the lower leg L, the leg covering portion 20 becomes familiar with the lower leg L according to the shape of the base 81. In this case, the portion corresponding to the ankle in the leg covering portion 20 is thinner than the portion corresponding to the calf. For this reason, in the rear view of the lower leg L, the appearance of the lower leg L is formed so as to become thinner from the calf to the ankle.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in a state where the leg covering portion 20 is attached to the lower leg L, a power supply portion 91 is disposed in a portion of the base 81 corresponding to the ankle. Since the portion corresponding to the power supply unit 91 on the outer surface 81B of the base 81 is not swelled, the portion corresponding to the ankle in the leg covering portion 20 is thin. For this reason, in the side view of the lower leg L, an appearance of the lower leg L that is thinned from the calf to the ankle is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in a state where the leg covering portion 20 is attached to the lower leg L, an air pump 90 is disposed in a portion of the base 81 corresponding to the calf. Since the expansion part 81C which is a part corresponding to the air pump 90 in the outer surface 81B of the base 81 is inflated, the expansion part 81C acts to push the calf. For this reason, the massage effect with respect to a calf improves. Further, since the swelling of the inflatable portion 81C is absorbed by the calves, the main body 70 is unlikely to rise with respect to the lower leg L. For this reason, the appearance of the air massage device 1 in a state where the leg covering portion 20 is attached to the lower leg L is improved.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the operating device 110 and the main body 70 are electrically connected via a cable C. In one example, the cable C is wired so that the controller device 110 and the controller 93 are electrically connected. For example, the cable C extends from below the operating device 110 in the second direction D2, and is inserted into the case 80 from above the base 81 in the second direction D2 and connected to the control unit 93. The distance between the operating device 110 and the air pump 90 in the second direction D2 is longer than the distance between the operating device 110 and the control unit 93 in the second direction D2. For this reason, the vibration accompanying the drive of the air pump 90 is not easily transmitted to the operating device 110. Further, the length of the cable C can be set short.

  The operating device 110 includes one or more switches. In one example, the operating device 110 includes a power switch 111 for turning on the air massage device 1. The power switch 111 is provided on the outer surface 110A of the operation device 110, for example. In one example, when the power switch 111 is operated, the control unit 93 is activated, and the air pump 90 and the electromagnetic valves 101 to 103 are controlled such that the plurality of airbags 60 are inflated and deflated.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the operating device 110 is attached to the first fabric 21 of the leg covering portion 20. In one example, the operating device 110 is screwed to the first fabric 21 of the leg covering portion 20 (not shown). The arrangement of the operation device 110 can be arbitrarily selected. In one example, the operating device 110 is attached to the first fabric 21 constituting the tightening portion 25A.

  For example, the main body 70 is provided between the first fabric 21 and the second fabric 22 so that at least a part of the cover 83 is exposed from the opening 21 </ b> B (see FIG. 14) of the first fabric 21. In one example, the main body 70 is provided between the first fabric 21 and the second fabric 22 such that the power supply cover 85 and the cover attachment portion 86 are exposed from the opening 21 </ b> B of the first fabric 21. Since the power supply cover 85 is exposed to the outside by turning the third fabric 23, the battery 91A can be easily replaced.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the first fabric 21 is attached to the main body 70 so that the power supply cover 85 is exposed when the third fabric 23 is rolled. A method of attaching the first fabric 21 to the main body 70 can be arbitrarily selected. In one example, the cover mounting portion 86 is sandwiched between the edge 86A of the cover mounting portion 86 and the outer surface 84A of the main body cover 84 around the exposed portion 84C around the opening 21B. Is attached to the main body cover 84, whereby the first fabric 21 is attached to the main body 70.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the control unit 93 controls the air pump 90 and the electromagnetic valves 101 to 103 in accordance with the operation of the operating device 110. Air discharged from the air pump 90 is supplied to the electromagnetic valves 101 to 103 via the first supply path 92A, the soundproofing unit 94, and the second supply path 92B. When the air pump 90 and the first supply port 64A are connected by the first electromagnetic valve 101, the air supplied to the first electromagnetic valve 101 is supplied to the first airbag 61 via the first supply port 64A, The first airbag 61 is inflated. When the air pump 90 and the second supply port 64B are connected by the second electromagnetic valve 102, the air supplied to the second electromagnetic valve 102 is supplied to the second airbag 62 through the second supply port 64B, The second airbag 62 is inflated. Specifically, the air supplied to the second electromagnetic valve 102 is supplied to the connecting portion 62C via the second supply port 64B, and the air supplied to the connecting portion 62C is supplied to the first side airbag 62A and the second side air bag 62A. Supplied to each of the side airbags 62B. When the air pump 90 and the third supply port 64C are connected by the third electromagnetic valve 103, the air supplied to the third electromagnetic valve 103 is supplied to the third airbag 63 via the third supply port 64C. .

  In one example, the controller 93 drives the air pump 90 according to the operation of the operating device 110, and controls the second electromagnetic valve 102 so that the air pump 90 and the second supply port 64B are connected. Since the air discharged from the air pump 90 is supplied to the second airbag 62, the first side airbag 62A and the second side airbag 62B are inflated with each other, and the side surface of the user's lower leg L is the side section. It is sandwiched between the airbags 62A and 62B. Next, the controller 93 controls the first electromagnetic valve 101 so that the air pump 90 and the first supply port 64A are connected. Since the air discharged from the air pump 90 is supplied to the first airbag 61, the first airbag 61 is inflated, and the side surface of the user's lower leg L is held by the side airbags 62A and 62B. The back of the lower leg L is pressed by the first airbag 61. In this case, since the 1st airbag 61 expand | swells greatly toward the lower leg L, the gastrocnemius circumference of the lower leg L is massaged suitably. Further, the control unit 93 appropriately controls the third electromagnetic valve 103 so that the air pump 90 and the third supply port 64C are connected. For this reason, the circumference of the soleus of the lower leg L is massaged suitably. In another example, the control unit 93 drives the air pump 90 according to the operation of the operating device 110, and inflates the third airbag 63, the second airbag 62, and the first airbag 61 in this order. The electromagnetic valves 101 to 103 are controlled. Thus, various massage effects can be provided to the user.

With reference to FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, an example of the usage method of the air massage apparatus 1 is demonstrated.
The air massage device 1 is used by the user in the following procedure, for example. As shown in FIG. 16, in the first procedure, the leg covering portion 20 is wound around the lower leg L, and the wearing size of the leg covering portion 20 is adjusted by the adjusting portion 30. Specifically, the loops 32B and 34B are bonded to the corresponding hooks 32A and 34A so that the leg covering portion 20 fits the lower leg L. In the second procedure, the power switch 111 of the operating device 110 is operated. When the power switch 111 is operated, the power of the air massage device 1 is turned on, and the air massage device 1 starts to be driven. For this reason, the lower leg L is massaged by the plurality of airbags 60. Then, operation | movement of the air massage apparatus 1 is complete | finished, and transfers to a 3rd procedure.

  As shown in FIG. 17, in the third procedure, the coupling / separating unit 40 is operated so that the first portion 24 and the second portion 27 of the leg covering portion 20 are separated. Specifically, the slider 41A of the line fastener 41 is operated upward in the second direction D2 so that the first portion 24 and the second portion 27 are separated. For this reason, the leg covering portion 20 can be detached from the lower leg L while the mounting size of the leg covering portion 20 is maintained. Thereafter, when the air massage device 1 is used again, the process proceeds to the fourth procedure.

  In the fourth procedure, the leg covering portion 20 removed in the third procedure is wound around the lower leg L, and the coupling / separating portion 40 is operated so that the first portion 24 and the second portion 27 of the leg covering portion 20 are coupled. The Specifically, the slider 41A of the line fastener 41 is operated in the downward direction in the second direction D2 so that the first portion 24 and the second portion 27 are coupled. In this procedure, the leg covering portion 20 is attached to the lower leg L in a state where the adjustment of the attachment size of the leg covering portion 20 is completed. For this reason, when using the air massage apparatus 1, the effort which adjusts the mounting size of the leg coating | coated part 20 is reduced. Moreover, since the frequency | count of the operation | movement which peels the hook-and-loop fastener 32 and 34 reduces, the frequency that the loud sound produced when peeling the hook-and-loop fastener 32 and 34 is generated is reduced. For this reason, a comfortable feeling of use can be provided to the user. In the fourth and subsequent procedures, for example, the second procedure to the fourth procedure are repeated.

  In the conventional air massage apparatus, an air pump having a large discharge air volume is mounted in order to increase the force exerted by the air bag on the target part. When the force which an airbag gives to an object part is strong, suitable massage is provided to an object part. On the other hand, in the air pump with a large discharge air volume, the sound accompanying the driving of the air pump is large. The sound accompanying the driving of the air pump includes the operation sound and resonance sound of the air pump. For this reason, the user may feel uncomfortable.

  In consideration of this point, the air massage device 1 is equipped with a silencer 94A that silences the sound of the air discharged from the air pump 90. In this case, since the sound accompanying the driving of the air pump 90 is reduced by the silencer 94A, it is difficult for the user to feel uncomfortable. For this reason, according to the air massage apparatus 1, a comfortable feeling of use can be provided to the user. Moreover, when the discharge air volume of the air pump 90 mounted in the air massage apparatus 1 is more than the discharge air volume of the air pump mounted in the conventional air massage apparatus, a suitable massage can be provided to the user. In addition, since the main body 70 on which the air pump 90 is mounted is provided in the mounting portion 10, the supply path 92 that connects the air pump 90 and the airbag 60 can be set short. For this reason, the air massage apparatus 1 can be comprised small.
