There is provided a massage device capable of producing innovative and comfortable massage effect by massaging a target body part over a wide area in its lengthwise direction with substantially rectilinear motion of a pressure-applying point. The massage devicecomprises a pair of treatment membersarranged face-to-face with each other at a spacing large enough for insertion of part of human body; a holding mechanismfor holding and pressing the body part in sandwich style by moving at least one of the paired treatment members or both of themin the direction of width of the body part set in place between the paired treatment members; and a moving mechanismfor moving the treatment memberin the direction of length of the body part while maintaining the holding condition of the treatment membereffected by the holding mechanism

Lower-leg massage device

An objective is to perform a leg massage under appropriate temperature conditions. The lower leg massage apparatuscomprises: a pair of right and left insertion recessesin a vertically-extending continuous form, into which are inserted feet F and calves C of a user; a first massage mechanismdisposed within an upper part of the insertion recess, for massaging the inserted calves C, and a second massage mechanismdisposed within a lower part of the insertion recess, for massaging the inserted feet F. Further provided are a cover bodyof a two-layer structure which is disposed in the insertion recessso as to cover the first massage mechanismand the second massage mechanism, and a warm air/cool air supply sectionfor supplying a warm or cool current of air to a region between the two layers constituting the cover body

Lower leg massage apparatus

A massage chair with a foot massaging device, which includes a seat unit, a backrest unit, and the foot massaging device located at a front portion of the seat unit, can make the structure simpler, the weight lighter, and the cost lower all at once. The massage chair is provided under the seat unitwith a back-and-forth motion mechanismjoined to the foot massaging device, and when the back-and-forth motion mechanismprotrudes forward, the foot massaging deviceadvances to a using position U which is located in front of the seat unitand at which a lower leg of a user can be massaged, while when the back-and-forth motion mechanismretracts backward, the foot massaging deviceis housed in a housing position P formed under the seat unit
