MULTI-FUNCTIONAL MASSAGE UNIT FOR SOLE ACUPUNCTURE

摘要

A multi-functional massage unit for sole acupuncture mainly utilizes a motor to drive the horizontal disk with a two- or four-phased wave-like convex surface above a gear box. These components are fitted in a box and the left and the right sole graph are drawn on the cover of the box. Various orifices for massage poles are situated in the graphs according to the locations of sole acupoints. Since the wave-like convex disk is driven by the motor through a gear box, it rotates to automatically push the massage poles up and down in such a balanced way that the pathological acupoints of the soles can be presses and massaged continuously, symmetrically and thoroughly without noise and extra labor. Moreover, on one end of the box is placed a medicine-heating device featured by heating water with a heater, compressing the medicine steam into the chamber under the cover of the box, and, eventually, spurting the steam from the pores beside of the orifices on the sole graphs to simultaneously press and steam the acupoints thus giving a double massage effect.
