ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to massage stick made of bamboo, and more particularly to an improved portable massage stick having a light weight, because of being made of bamboo, and also therapeutic effect by utilizing air pressure. This massage stick can be adapted to be manufactured in commercial quantity with improved productivity.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
So far many massage instruments using electric vibration or being operated manually have been introduced. However, these instruments have some disadvantage, e.g. Their weight and configuration are not suitable for use by oneself, particularly to older people.
In order to overcome the disadvantage mentioned above, massage instruments made of bamboo are previously known from Korean Patent Publication No. 97-32778 and Korean Utility Model Publication No. 95-29544. The massage instruments disclosed in the reference documents consist of plural bamboo strips of predetermined length and diameter.
Though these instruments can reduce their weight by use of bamboo as materials, these instruments still have such problems as not being able to pat the concave point of the human body and cannot be produced on a large scale on account of a complicated, detailed manufacturing process.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is developed in order to overcome the disadvantage mentioned above in connection with previously known massage instruments and to provide an improved massage instrument. Thus, a primary object of the invention is to create a massage instrument whose weight is light, thereby suitable to be used by oneself, and that makes it possible to infiltrate a soft impact wave into body through air pressure to activate the circulation of the blood.
A further object of the invention is to provide massage instrument that can be simply manufactured with increased production efficiency.
