Description
Description Description
[0001 ] La présente invention concerne un appareil portatif de stimulation et de relaxation corporelle, associant des moyens vibrants et des moyens chauffants, pour assurer un traitement localisé de différentes zones, organes ou fonctions du corps humain, tels que les muscles, les os, la circulation sanguine, le système nerveux, sans qu’il soit nécessaire d’adapter et de régler l’appareil au cas par cas en fonction de la morphologie du patient. The present invention relates to a portable device for stimulating and relaxing body, combining vibrating means and heating means, to provide localized treatment of different areas, organs or functions of the human body, such as muscles, bones, blood circulation, nervous system, without the need to adapt and adjust the device case by case depending on the morphology of the patient.
[0002] Plus particulièrement, l’invention concerne un appareil électrique de stimulation et de relaxation dans lequel on transmet une vibration à des éléments qui ne sont pas en contact avec le corps du patient, tout en réchauffant par rayonnements la zone traitée au moyen d’éléments en contact avec le corps du patient. More particularly, the invention relates to an electrical stimulation and relaxation apparatus in which a vibration is transmitted to elements that are not in contact with the body of the patient, while heating by radiation the treated area by means of elements in contact with the patient's body.
[0003] L’utilisation d’impulsions électriques pour provoquer des vibrations au moyen desquelles on stimulera ou relaxera ensuite certaines zones du corps humain dans le but de soulager des douleurs ou de permettre la réparation d’organes affectés ou abîmés, suite à accident ou en raison de mauvaises positions, est connue en soi. Il est tout aussi connu d’utiliser des dispositifs chauffants qui permettent de réchauffer la zone à traiter pour là également faciliter le traitement. The use of electrical pulses to cause vibrations by means of which we will stimulate or relax certain areas of the human body in order to relieve pain or allow the repair of affected organs or damaged, following accident or because of bad positions, is known per se. It is also known to use heating devices that heat the area to be treated to also facilitate treatment.
[0004] Il existe ainsi des dispositifs qui sont couramment utilisés par les professionnels kinésithérapeutes ou dans les centres de rééducation, sous la forme de tables ou de sièges comportant des éléments vibrants et/ou chauffants pour stimuler et masser. Le patient est placé dans une position assise ou couchée qu’il doit conserver pendant tout le cycle. There are thus devices that are commonly used by physiotherapists or professionals in rehabilitation centers, in the form of tables or seats with vibrating and / or heating elements to stimulate and massage. The patient is placed in a sitting or reclining position that he / she must maintain throughout the cycle.
[0005] Un exemple élaboré est décrit dans le document FR 2659 550 concernant un tapis de massage composé de rangées de cellules de massage, chaque rangée pouvant être actionnée de manière différenciée. An elaborate example is described in the document FR 2659 550 concerning a massage mat composed of rows of massage cells, each row can be actuated in a differentiated manner.
[0006] Cette solution présente l’inconvénient d’exiger du patient qu’il reste immobile jusqu’à la fin du cycle. Par ailleurs, elle ne permet pas d’effectuer des traitements très localisés. This solution has the disadvantage of requiring the patient to remain motionless until the end of the cycle. Moreover, it does not make it possible to carry out very localized treatments.
[0007] Il existe également des dispositifs manuels, de faible encombrement, comportant une partie d’extrémité pouvant vibrer, et que l’utilisateur ou le praticien déplace à la main sur la zone à traiter. L’efficacité reste limitée et l’utilisation est contraignante, puisque l’opérateur doit faire preuve d’une attention constante pour maintenir l’appareil en position. Un exemple d’appareil de ce type est illustré dans le document FR 2531 335. There are also manual devices, compact in size, having an end portion that can vibrate, and that the user or the practitioner moves by hand on the area to be treated. Efficiency remains limited and the use is restrictive, since the operator must show constant attention to keep the device in position. An example of an apparatus of this type is illustrated in document FR 2531 335.
[0008] Ces dispositifs ne sont pas satisfaisants, dans la mesure où ils exigent la présence constante d’un opérateur, et où ils ne sont pas modulables. En effet, ils permettent de traiter soit par rayonnements, soit par vibrations, mais sans pouvoir choisir entre les deux modalités, ni les combiner. These devices are not satisfactory, insofar as they require the constant presence of an operator, and where they are not scalable. Indeed, they allow to treat either by radiation or by vibrations, but without being able to choose between the two modalities, nor to combine them.
[0009] L’art antérieur connaît certes quelques dispositifs portatifs associant des moyens vibrants et des moyens de chauffage. The prior art certainly knows some portable devices associating vibrating means and heating means.
[0010] Ainsi, le document WO 2010/016 633, qui constitue l’art antérieur le plus proche de l’invention, à la connaissance du déposant, décrit un appareil de massage pour les seins, comportant un boîtier de forme convexe réalisé dans un matériau lisse, comme de la résine de silicone, apte à être en contact avec la peau, à l’intérieur duquel on dispose des moyens vibrants pour mettre en vibration ledit boîtier et produire un effet de massage; un générateur de basses fréquences pour produire une stimulation; une unité d’alimentation pour les moyens vibrants et le générateur de basses fréquences; une commande à distance sans fil pour contrôler les moyens vibrants et le générateur de basses fréquences, et un film chauffant produisant un rayonnement infrarouge. Thus, WO 2010/016 633, which is the closest prior art to the invention, to the knowledge of the applicant, describes a massage device for the breasts, comprising a convex shaped housing made in a smooth material, such as silicone resin, adapted to be in contact with the skin, inside which there are vibrating means for vibrating said housing and producing a massage effect; a low frequency generator for generating stimulation; a power unit for the vibrating means and the low frequency generator; a wireless remote control for controlling the vibrating means and the low frequency generator, and a heating film producing infrared radiation.
[0011 ] Cependant, cet appareil est spécifiquement conçu pour traiter un organe bien précis, à savoir la poitrine, et est donc réservé à un public féminin, avec pour objectif revendiqué d’assurer une fonction de prévention du cancer du sein. However, this device is specifically designed to treat a specific body, namely the chest, and is therefore reserved for a female audience, with the claimed goal of providing a breast cancer prevention function.
[0012] Il n’a pas une vocation universelle, n’est pas modulable en fonction de la morphologie du patient, ni adaptable à n’importe quelle zone du corps. It does not have a universal vocation, is not flexible depending on the morphology of the patient, nor adaptable to any area of the body.
[0013] Le but que poursuit la présente invention est de réaliser un appareil de stimulation et de relaxation corporelle, portatif, pouvant être positionné sur n’importe quelle partie du corps quelle que soit la morphologie de l’utilisateur, en assurant des cycles de traitement pouvant associer des vibrations et de la chaleur, sans qu’il soit nécessaire de prévoir la présence d’un opérateur ou des moyens lourds pour maintenir en place le dispositif pendant toute la durée du traitement. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for stimulating and relaxing body, portable, can be positioned on any part of the body regardless of the morphology of the user, ensuring cycles of treatment that can combine vibration and heat, without the need to provide the presence of an operator or heavy means to keep in place the device for the duration of treatment.
[0014] Notre invention entend remédier aux inconvénients de l’art antérieur signalés ci-dessus en réalisant un appareil portatif de stimulation et de relaxation du corps humain conforme à la revendication 1. Our invention intends to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art reported above by providing a portable device for stimulation and relaxation of the human body according to claim 1.
[0015] L’invention sera mieux comprise au travers de la description donnée ci-après d’un exemple de réalisation non limitatif, et en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels: la fig. 1 est une vue latérale en coupe de l’appareil selon l’invention, la fig. 2 est une vue en plan montrant le positionnement de l’appareil selon l’invention sur la jambe d’un utilisateur, la fig. 3 est une vue en élévation montrant une variante de l’invention, l’appareil étant agencé pour traiter les deux jambes d’un utilisateur, et la fig. 4 est une vue en élévation montrant une autre variante de l’invention, l’appareil formant un matelas. The invention will be better understood through the description given below of a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment, and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a sectional side view of the apparatus according to the invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the positioning of the apparatus according to the invention on the leg of a user, FIG. 3 is an elevational view showing a variant of the invention, the apparatus being arranged to treat both legs of a user, and FIG. 4 is an elevational view showing another variant of the invention, the apparatus forming a mattress.
2 [0016] Comme on le voit sur la fig. 1 , l’appareil portatif de stimulation et de relaxation corporelle selon l’invention est composé d’au moins une poche (1 ) réalisée dans un matériau souple imperméable et résistant, comportant sur une partie au moins de sa périphérie une ouverture munie de moyens de fermeture rapide (10), par exemple à glissière. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the portable device for stimulating and relaxing the body according to the invention is composed of at least one pocket (1) made of an impermeable and resistant flexible material, comprising on at least part of its periphery an opening provided with means rapid closure (10), for example slider.
[0017] Dans l’exemple représenté sur les figures, la poche (1 ) est de forme rectangulaire, et l’ouverture avec les moyens à glissière est ménagée sur l’une des longueurs du rectangle. Cependant, rien n’interdit d’envisager une forme différente, ou un positionnement de l’ouverture sur une autre partie du pourtour de la poche, sans que l’on sorte du cadre de l’invention tel que défini par les revendications. In the example shown in the figures, the pocket (1) is of rectangular shape, and the opening with the slide means is arranged on one of the lengths of the rectangle. However, nothing prohibits to consider a different shape, or a positioning of the opening on another part of the periphery of the pocket, without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
[0018] Les moyens de stimulation et de relaxation sont disposés sur un bloc de support (2), dont les dimensions correspondent à celle de la poche (1 ). Plus précisément, les dimensions du bloc de support (2) sont telles qu’il peut être introduit intégralement à l’intérieur de la poche (1 ) sans forcer, mais sans pour autant laisser subsister de jeu une fois la poche refermée. Le bloc de support (2) est réalisé dans un matériau souple résilient hypoallergénique, par exemple de la mousse polyuréthanne HR ou à cellules fermées. The stimulation and relaxation means are arranged on a support block (2), the dimensions of which correspond to that of the pocket (1). More specifically, the dimensions of the support block (2) are such that it can be introduced integrally inside the pocket (1) without forcing, but without leaving any game remaining once the pocket closed. The support block (2) is made of a hypoallergenic resilient flexible material, for example HR or closed-cell polyurethane foam.
[0019] Les moyens de stimulation et de relaxation comportent une ou plusieurs plaques vibrantes (4) et un ou plusieurs éléments chauffants (3), qui sont alignés selon l’axe longitudinal de la poche (1),en alternant une plaque vibrante et un élément chauffant. The stimulation and relaxation means comprise one or more vibrating plates (4) and one or more heating elements (3), which are aligned along the longitudinal axis of the pocket (1), alternating a vibrating plate and a heating element.
[0020] Les plaques vibrantes (4) sont chacune associée à un moteur (5) logé dans une alvéole (15) ménagée dans le bloc support (2). Les dimensions des alvéoles sont définies de telle sorte que chaque moteur (5) puisse être intégralement introduit dans l’alvéole (15) qui lui correspond et soit maintenu en position sans jeu par les parois latérales et le fond de l’alvéole, The vibrating plates (4) are each associated with a motor (5) housed in a cell (15) formed in the support block (2). The dimensions of the cells are defined so that each motor (5) can be integrally introduced into the cell (15) which corresponds to it and is held in position without play by the side walls and the bottom of the cell,
[0021 ] Chaque plaque vibrante (4) est reliée par son centre géométrique à l’arbre du moteur (5) qui lui correspond. Les plaques vibrantes (4) sont disposées au-dessus des moteurs (5) de telle sorte que leurs parois supérieures respectives dépassent du plan horizontal formé par la paroi supérieure du bloc de support (2). Each vibrating plate (4) is connected by its geometric center to the motor shaft (5) corresponding thereto. The vibrating plates (4) are arranged above the motors (5) so that their respective upper walls protrude from the horizontal plane formed by the upper wall of the support block (2).
[0022] Selon une forme préférentielle de réalisation, les plaques vibrantes (4) présentent une forme ergonomique. According to a preferred embodiment, the vibrating plates (4) have an ergonomic shape.
[0023] Plus particulièrement, chaque plaque vibrante (4) présente un profil incurvé entre deux de ses bords opposés, avec des angles arrondis. Grâce à leur forme ergonomique, les plaques vibrantes (4) peuvent ainsi épouser les contours de l’organe ou de la zone à traiter sur laquelle l’appareil a été positionné, sans risque aucun d’irritation ou de blessure de l’utilisateur. En effet, les plaques vibrantes (4) sont intégralement disposées à l’intérieur de la poche (1 ) et ne sont donc pas en contact direct avec la peau ou le corps, puisque leurs parois supérieures respectives prévues pour transmettre les vibrations impulsées par les moteurs (5) restent positionnées contre la paroi intérieure de la poche (1 ). More particularly, each vibrating plate (4) has a curved profile between two of its opposite edges, with rounded corners. Thanks to their ergonomic shape, the vibrating plates (4) can thus marry the contours of the organ or the area to be treated on which the device has been positioned, without any risk of irritation or injury to the user. Indeed, the vibrating plates (4) are entirely arranged inside the pocket (1) and are therefore not in direct contact with the skin or the body, since their respective upper walls are designed to transmit the vibrations driven by them. motors (5) remain positioned against the inner wall of the pocket (1).
[0024] Chaque ensemble formé par l’association d’une plaque vibrante (4) ergonomique et d’un moteur (5) est disposé au sein du bloc de support (2) en alternance avec une unité d’alimentation (6) des éléments chauffants (3), chacune desdites unités d’alimentation (6) étant également logée dans une alvéole (16) de dimension appropriée ménagée dans le bloc de support (2). Each assembly formed by the combination of an ergonomic vibrating plate (4) and a motor (5) is arranged within the support block (2) alternately with a feed unit (6). heating elements (3), each of said supply units (6) being also housed in a cell (16) of suitable size provided in the support block (2).
[0025] Les éléments chauffants (3), par exemple de type à infrarouge, sont de préférence circulaires, avec un diamètre supérieur à la plus grande dimension des unités d’alimentation (6), de telle sorte que la paroi interne d’un élément chauffant (3) circulaire recouvre intégralement la paroi externe de l’unité d’alimentation (6) à laquelle il est associé. La paroi externe des éléments chauffants (3) est bombée et disposée à l’extérieur de la housse (1) pour être en contact direct avec la peau ou le corps. La surface externe des éléments est traitée de manière à être non allergène et à permettre un contact et un déplacement sur la peau sans risque de blessure ou d’irritation. The heating elements (3), for example of the infrared type, are preferably circular, with a diameter greater than the largest dimension of the feed units (6), so that the inner wall of a circular heating element (3) completely covers the outer wall of the feed unit (6) with which it is associated. The outer wall of the heating elements (3) is curved and disposed outside the cover (1) to be in direct contact with the skin or the body. The outer surface of the elements is treated to be non-allergenic and to allow contact and movement on the skin without risk of injury or irritation.
[0026] La fig. 2 illustre un mode d’utilisation de l’appareil de stimulation et de relaxation selon l’invention. Fig. 3 2 illustrates a mode of use of the stimulation and relaxation apparatus according to the invention.
[0027] Dans l’exemple représenté, il s’agit de traiter la jambe (20) d’un patient, mais la description qui suit reste valable s’agissant de tout autre organe ou zone du corps humain. In the example shown, it is to treat the leg (20) of a patient, but the following description remains valid with respect to any other organ or area of the human body.
[0028] L’appareil de stimulation et de relaxation, comme représenté à la fig. 1 , comporte une poche (1 ) rectangulaire, à l’intérieur de laquelle on a inséré un bloc de support (2) résilient, recevant deux plaques vibrantes (4) disposées en alternance avec deux éléments chauffants (3) de telle sorte que deux plaques vibrantes, respectivement deux éléments chauffant, ne soient pas contigus. Grâce aux caractéristiques de souplesse de la poche (1 ), de résilience du bloc de support (2), et à la forme ergonomique des plaques vibrantes (4), on peut facilement et sans forcer disposer la poche (1) par enroulement autour de la jambe (20) à traiter. The stimulation and relaxation apparatus, as shown in FIG. 1, comprises a rectangular pocket (1) inside which a resilient support block (2) has been inserted, receiving two vibrating plates (4) arranged alternately with two heating elements (3) so that two vibrating plates, respectively two heating elements, are not contiguous. Thanks to the flexibility characteristics of the pocket (1), the resilience of the support block (2), and the ergonomic shape of the vibrating plates (4), the pocket (1) can be easily and loosely arranged by winding around the leg (20) to be treated.
[0029] La fig. 3 illustre un autre mode d’utilisation de l’appareil de stimulation et de relaxation selon l’invention. Selon cette variante, on traite simultanément les deux jambes d’un utilisateur. A cet effet, on utilise deux poches (1 ) identiques, qui peuvent être solidarisées dans leurs parties supérieures respectives. Fig. 3 illustrates another mode of use of the stimulation and relaxation apparatus according to the invention. According to this variant, the two legs of a user are simultaneously processed. For this purpose, two identical bags (1) are used, which can be secured in their respective upper parts.
[0030] La fig. 4 illustre encore un autre mode d’utilisation de l’appareil de stimulation et de relaxation selon l’invention. Selon cette variante, on traite la partie dorsale de l’utilisateur. A cet effet, on utilise une poche (1 ) de grande dimension, formant un matelas sur lequel peut s’allonger l’utilisateur. On peut prévoir deux extensions constituées chacune d’une seconde poche (1 ) de petite dimension, disposées de part et d’autre du bord inférieur de la première poche, pour traiter individuellement les pieds de l’utilisateur. FIG. 4 illustrates yet another mode of use of the stimulation and relaxation apparatus according to the invention. According to this variant, the dorsal part of the user is treated. For this purpose, a pocket (1) of large size is used, forming a mattress on which the user can lie. There may be two extensions each consisting of a second pocket (1) of small size, arranged on either side of the lower edge of the first pocket, to treat individually the feet of the user.
