Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the number of operation types and enhance an massaging effect by arranging a plurality of air bags in parallel and laying other air bags thereon orthogonally. CONSTITUTION:An air mat is constituted of a plurality of the first air bags and second air bags 2, and each of the air bags 1 and 2 can be independently inflated and collapsed via air supply and discharge. The first air bags 1 are arranged in parallel, and the second air bags 2 are laid thereon orthogonally. The compressed air is supplied from a pump device 5 to each of the air bags 1 and 2 independently, and various inflated conditions are thereby generated. According to this construction, each bag can be operated independently and in mutually interlocked state. In addition, the number of operation types increases, and various types of massage feeling can be obtained, thereby increasing a massaging effect.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to an air mat applied to an air massager.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional examples are shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. That is, this air mat has a plurality of air bags 50 arranged in parallel that can be inflated and deflated independently by supplying and discharging air, and is controlled by a pump device 52 through a hose 51 connected to each air bag 50. The body 54 is massaged by supplying the compressed air, for example, by sequentially inflating the air bag 50. 53 is a cover.

FIG. 11 shows the device in use, with the back of the body 55 placed on the air mattress 55 for massage.

0004

However, this air mat has the disadvantage that the massage feeling is determined by the size of the air bag 50, and that the number of motions is small and the massage effect is low. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an air mat that can increase the number of motions and enhance the massage effect.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The air mat of the present invention has a plurality of first air bags arranged in parallel that can be independently inflated and deflated by supplying and discharging air. A plurality of second air bags that can be inflated and deflated are stacked on the first air bag so as to be perpendicular to the first air bag.

[0006]

[Operation] According to the structure of the present invention, by inflating and deflating the first air bag or the second air bag,
Since the first air bag and the second air bag can operate individually and in conjunction with each other, the variety of movements is increased compared to the conventional example, and a variety of massage sensations can be obtained, resulting in a massage effect. can be increased.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An air massager to which a first embodiment of the present invention is applied will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. That is, this air mat has a plurality of first air bags 1 and a plurality of second air bags 2. The first air bags 1 can be independently inflated and deflated by supplying and discharging air, and are arranged in parallel.

The second air bag 2 can also be inflated and deflated independently by supplying and discharging air, and is stacked on the first air bag 1 so as to be perpendicular to the first air bag 1. Hoses 3 and 4 have one end connected to the first air bag 1 and second air bag 2, and 5 connects the other ends of the hoses 3 and 4 to the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2. It is a pump device that sends compressed air to the bag 2, and has a built-in control means (not shown).

FIG. 2 shows the operating state. That is, in the same figure (a), the first air bag 1 is placed with the second air bag 2 facing down.
This is a state in which the back of the body 6 is placed on the body 6 and the first air bag 1 on one end side is inflated. The figure (b) shows the state in which the first air bag 1 next to it is inflated, and the figure (c) shows the state in which the first air bag 1 next to it is further inflated.
d) is the first air bag 1 on the other end side adjacent to it.
The body is in an inflated state, and the massage is performed by repeating this series of actions one after another.

FIG. 3 shows the entire second air bag 2 inflated in the operation shown in FIG. As a result, a stronger massage can be applied to the body 6 than the massage shown in FIG. 2, and a variety of massage sensations can be obtained. In particular, when this air mat is placed on the lower back area, it has the effect of lifting the lower back and stretching the lower back, resulting in a very pleasant feeling. Furthermore, by controlling the second air bag 2,
By repeating the states shown in the figure alternately, different massage stimulations can be given.

FIG. 4 shows a group of about half of the second air bags 2 with the center as a boundary, which are inflated and deflated alternately.
) is a state in which the second air bag 2 is completely deflated;
) is a state in which one of the groups of second air bags 2 (on the left side of the figure) is inflated, (c) is a state in which the entire second air bag 2 is deflated, and (d) is a state in which the second air bag 2 is inflated. The other group of air bags 2 (on the right side in the figure) is in an inflated state. In this movement, the position that supports the weight of the body 6 changes, so the massage feeling due to the movement of the first air bag 1 changes.Especially in the lower part in the left-right movement, a stronger massage effect is produced by the weight, and the body 6 Since the massage force applied to the left and right sides changes, a variety of massage sensations can be obtained.

According to this embodiment, by inflating and deflating the first air bag 1 or the second air bag 2, the individual operations of the first air bag 1 and the second air bag 2 and Since mutually linked movements can be obtained, the variety of movements is increased compared to the conventional example, and a variety of massage sensations can be obtained, so that the massage effect can be enhanced.

[0013] If the second air bag 2 and the first air bag 1 are in the same direction, the air bag will easily fall down when lifted up, whereas the first air bag 1 and the second air bag By arranging the bags 2 orthogonally, lift-up can be stabilized. A second embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 5-7. In other words, this air mat
In this embodiment, a pair of second air bags 2 are provided at both ends of the first air bag 1. Second
Although the distance between the air bags 2 varies depending on the size of the bag, a suitable distance is about 150 mm to 450 mm, which is approximately the width of the user's waist.

FIG. 6 shows the operating state, in which the same operation as in FIG. 2 is performed. FIG. 7 shows a state in which the second air bag 2 is inflated, and both sides of the body 6 can be massaged, for example, both sides of the body 6 can be massaged. In particular, when the second air bag 2 is applied to the lower back, both sides of the lower back can be massaged and the lower back can be stretched at the same time. Further, as in the first embodiment, the second air bag 2 may be controlled to alternately perform the operations shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. You can make it happen.

A third embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. That is, in this air mat, in the first embodiment, the plurality of second air bags 2a to 2e are large at both ends in the arrangement direction, and gradually become smaller toward the center. That is, the second air bags 2a, 2e are the largest, the second air bags 2b, 2d are the next largest, and the second air bags 2b, 2d are the next largest.
Air bag 2c is the smallest.

FIG. 9 shows the state in use, and when the second air bag 2 is inflated, both sides of the body 6 are high and the central part is low, so that both sides of the body 6 are lowered as in the second embodiment. It is possible to massage the sides, support the body weight at the center and both sides of the body 6, and follow the shape of the body 6, so that it is comfortable to use and allows for stable lifting. Furthermore, similarly to the first embodiment, the second air bag 2 may be inflated and deflated as a whole, or the second air bag 2 may be inflated and deflated individually.

[0017]

[Effect of the invention] The air mat of this invention has a plurality of first
of air bags are arranged in parallel, and a plurality of second air bags are stacked on top of the first air bag perpendicularly to the first air bag, so that the first air bag or the second air bag can be inflated and The contraction operation allows the first air bag and the second air bag to operate individually and in conjunction with each other, increasing the variety of movements compared to the conventional example and providing a variety of massage sensations. This has the effect of increasing the massage effect.
