Massage machine
First Claim
1. A massage machine comprising:
- a pair of left and right massage members provided so as to hold a treatment region;
a rotating shaft provided so as to laterally penetrate the left and right massage members;
a drive unit for rotationally driving the rotating shaft; and
a conversion part converting a rotating force of the rotating shaft to a massage operation caused by the massage members,a horizontal movement mechanism causing at least one of the pair of left and right massage members to move in a horizontal direction along the rotating shaft by rotating the rotating shaft to thereby make a variable interval between the pair of left and right massage members at two positions on one end side or the other end side of the rotating shaft by rotating the rotating shaft,said horizontal movement mechanism includes a screw thread part rotationally fixed to the rotating shaft, and a movable and rotational first tilt rotor having a helical internal tooth formed on an inner circumferential surface, said helical internal tooth being in operative engagement with the screw thread part,said movable and rotational first tilt rotor configured to integrally rotate with the rotating shaft upon reaching one end or the other end of the screw thread part, andsaid movable and rotational first tilt rotor is configured so as to reach one end of the screw thread part when the rotating shaft is rotated in one direction by the drive unit and is configured so as to reach the other end of the screw thread part when the rotating shaft is rotated in the other direction.

Abstract
Provided is a massage machine enabling an effective massage treatment by a pair of left and right massage members even for users having various sizes or thicknesses of treatment regions. A massage machine according to the present invention includes: a pair of left and right massage members provided so as to hold a treatment region; a rotating shaft provided so as to laterally penetrate the left and right massage members; a drive unit for rotationally driving the rotating shaft; and a conversion part for converting a rotating force of the rotating shaft to a massage operation by the massage members, and in this massage machine, there is provided a horizontal movement mechanism for causing at least one of the pair of left and right massage members to move in a horizontal direction along the rotating shaft by rotating the rotating shaft to thereby make an interval between the pair of left and right massage members variable.
