PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve kneading massaging motion in a massage machine for making treatment elements perform massaging motions by utilizing an inclined shaft.SOLUTION: The massage machine comprises a driving shaft 20 to be driven/rotated, the inclined shaft 22 attached to the driving shaft, an oscillation arm 51 connected to the outer surface of the inclined shaft 22 in such a way as slackly rotatable, and a connection rod 45 for restraining the motions accompanying the rotation of the inclined shaft of the oscillation arm with treatment elements 50. The inclined shaft is set at such an inclination angle that the motion of the treatment elements caused by the rotation of the driving shaft draws a circular locus within a 20 mm square. With the motion of drawing the locus, the treatment elements can achieve the massaging motion equivalent to the kneading massaging motion.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】傾斜軸を利用して施療子にマッサージ動作を行わせるものにおいて揉捏マッサージ動作を得る。【解決手段】回転駆動される駆動軸20と、駆動軸に装着された傾斜軸22と、上記傾斜軸22の外周面に遊転自在に連結されている揺動アーム51と、施療子50を備える上記揺動アームの上記傾斜軸の回転に伴う動きを規制する連結ロッド45とを備える。駆動軸の回転による施療子の動きを20mm角四方の中で円状の軌跡を描く動きとなる傾斜角に上記傾斜軸を設定している。上記軌跡を描く動作により、揉捏マッサージと同等のマッサージを得ることができる。【選択図】図1
