Motion sickness expression apparatus

摘要

A motion sickness expression apparatus, which is capable of causing expression of motion sickness on a person riding in any posture on the apparatus without setting the apparatus in a vehicle, comprises a base (10) and a vertical vibrator (20) to which a vibration application unit is connected so as to be vertically movable with respect to the base (10) through link members (15) and which is constructed so as to support a body carrying section (80) thereon. A magnetic spring mechanism (30) includes permanent magnets (31, 32) arranged on the base (10) and vertical vibrator (20) so as to repel each other respectively. The magnetic spring (30) mechanism also includes an actuator (33) for moving the permanent magnet (31) arranged on the base (10) to vary areas of the permanent magnets (31, 32) opposite to each other, leading to vibration of the vertical vibrator (20). Vibration of the body carrying section (80) can be controlled through the vertical vibrator (20) vibrated by repulsion force of the permanent magnet (32) on the vertical vibrator (20) with respect to the permanent magnet (31) on the base (10) due to driving of the actuator (33) so that an acceleration of vibration of the body carrying section (80) falls within a motion sickness expression region.
