PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a massage machine which enables stable treatment of a person to be treated, by executing treatment only in an angle range in which the inclination angle of a seat part makes it possible to appropriately maintain a sitting posture of the person to be treated.SOLUTION: A seat part 12 is disposed tiltably on a base part 11 and the inclination angle of the seat part 12 is made adjustable by the operation of a seat part actuator 12d. On the occasion of treatment, on the other hand, execution of the treatment is restricted at an inclination angle of the minimum angle or less at which a sitting posture is hard to fix, so that the treatment may not be conducted in a state in which a slippage of the posture of a person to be treated may occur. Thus, the treatment is executed only in the case when the seat part 12 is located in an inclination angle range of the seat part 12 enabling attainment of a state in which the sitting posture of the person to be treated is surely maintained. Thus, a treatment effect can surely be given to the person to be treated who is in an appropriate posture and highly effective treatment can always be executed on every occasion of treatment without causing a change in a treatment posture or a change in treatment conditions accompanying the same.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】座部の傾斜角度が被施療者の着座姿勢を適切に維持できる角度範囲でのみ施療を行うようにして、被施療者に対し安定した施療を行えるマッサージ機を提供する。【解決手段】座部12を基台部11上に傾動可能に配設し、座部アクチュエータ12dの作動で座部12の傾斜角度を調整可能とする一方、施療にあたっては、着座姿勢の定りにくい最小角度未満の傾斜角度では施療の実行を制限して、被施療者の姿勢のずれが生じ得る状態でそのまま施療が行われないようにすることで、被施療者の着座姿勢が確実に保持される状態を得られる座部12の傾斜角度範囲に座部12がある場合でのみ施療を実行して、適切な姿勢となっている被施療者に対して確実に施療効果を与えることができ、施療の機会ごとに施療姿勢の変化やそれに伴う施療条件の変化を招くことなく、効果の高い施療を常に実行できる。【選択図】 図3
