PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pillow massager which effectively and easily produces a massaging effect on ones neck through shoulders due to its pillow-like shape, is adjustable for height and hardness to even a slight change as a pillow, and enables a user to take a comfortable and proper posture in use.SOLUTION: This pillow massager includes: fluid cells 4 which allow a fluid to flow into or out of their hollow inside a hollow pillow body 2 housing those fluid cells 4 inside and a prescribed position adjusting means located at a prescribed position near the fluid cells 4. When a user lay his/her head, neck, and shoulders on the pillow body 2, the user can steadily receive a steady massaging effect on the area from his/her neck through shoulders, as if it were produced by human hands, being in a relaxed state, by operating a fluid flow-in/out means so that the fluid can repeatedly flow into or out of the fluid cells 4, which causes them to repeatedly expand and contract, giving a pressing stimulus over the area from the neck through shoulders at prescribed intervals. The pressure strength can be easily adjusted by simply changing the flow amount of the fluid into or out of the fluid cells 4, thereby providing great operability as a massager.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】 枕形状とすることで首から肩にかけて効果的且つ手軽にマッサージ効果を与えられると共に、枕として微妙な高さ及び硬さの調節が行え、疲労しにくい適切な姿勢で快適に使用できるマッサージ枕を提供する。【解決手段】 流体を中空部分に出入りさせられる流体セル4が中空の枕本体2内に配設されると共に、流体セルの近傍所定位置に所定の位置調整手段が配設され、枕本体2の上に人が肩より上を載せた状態で、流体注入排出手段を作動させて流体セル4内に対し流体の注入と排出を繰返して流体セル4の膨張、収縮を繰返させ、流体セル4で首から肩にかけての部分を所定間隔で押圧刺激することから、リラックスした姿勢の状態で首から肩にかけての部分に確実に揉みと同等のマッサージ効果を与えられ、流体セル4に対する流体の注入・排出量の調整で押圧力の調節も行いやすく、マッサージ器としての使い勝手に優れる。【選択図】図2
