Abstract

The invention relates to a sheath (1) for a fascia roll (2). In order to expand the therapeutic applications of known fascia rollers (2), it is proposed that the sheath (1) has a closed interior filled with a heat and / or cold storage agent. The invention further comprises a fascia roll (2) of such a shell (1).

Description

Field of the invention

The invention relates to a sheath for a Faszienrolle.

Background of the invention

In the area of the neck, shoulder and back musculature, muscular tension often arises, which arises through the connective tissue, the so-called fascia. To relax the fascia and to make the tissue elastic again, fascia rolls are known, which are also called massage rollers or self-massage rollers. These are circular hollow cylinders, usually made of foam, which have a smooth or profiled surface. For treatment, the fascia roll is rolled over the strained areas or the fascia roll is placed on the floor and then the body is rolled on it.

Summary of the invention

The present invention has been developed in light of the above-described prior art. The object of the invention is to propose a sheath for Faszienrollen of the type mentioned, are extended by the therapeutic applications of fascia roles.

This object is achieved in that the sheath for a Faszienrolle has a closed interior, which is filled with a heat and / or cold storing agent. The sheath can be placed or fastened on the rolling surface of the fascia roll. This allows the Faszienrolle be used both for cold and heat therapy to relieve pain or stimulate regeneration. The areas of application are for example in the rehabilitation, prevention and treatment of strains, tension, circulatory disorders, hematomas, fascia and the regeneration of the muscles. Better effects are achieved by the additional heating or cooling effect than by a fascia roll without the casing according to the invention. The shell may have different colors and patterns. Fascia rolls suitable for the sheath are state of the art and commercially available.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention with additional features will be described below.

The heat and / or cold storage agent is preferably a gel, a gel, as used in commercial refrigerated packs. The shell can then be placed in a microwave oven for heating or for cooling.

The shell is mainly made of rubber or silicone and is therefore soft and flexible, skin-friendly and pleasant to use.

The sheath is formed over the Faszienrolle inverted. It can therefore be removed after heating from the microwave or cooling from the freezer compartment and attached by slipping on the fascia roll.

If the shell is resilient and has a smaller inner radius in the non-tensioned state than the outer radius of the fascia roll, it can be secured by a resilient bias on the Faszienrolle.

The sheath is in particular designed such that the rolling surface of the fascia roll is completely covered.

The shell has on its outside elevations, which are filled with the heat and / or cold storage medium. This results in a stronger massage effect.

The elevations may be formed as nubs, hemispheres, or spines or have polygonal or wave-like shapes.

To ensure that the cases are suitable for different sizes of fascia rolls, they are provided in different sizes.

The invention further comprises a fascia roll having a shell having the above-described inventive and optional features.

Brief description of the drawings

The figures show in detail:

1 a cross section through the shell;

2 a cross section through the envelope with a fascia roll;

3 a perspective view of the sheath with Faszienrolle; and

4 a side perspective view of the sleeve with fascia roll.

Functionally identical parts are provided with the same reference numerals.

Detailed description of preferred embodiments

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, wherein further advantageous features are shown in the figures of the drawing.

1 shows a cross section through a shell 1 , This has an elastic inner layer 4 and an elastic outer layer 5 made of rubber. Between both layers 4 . 5 becomes a closed interior 6 formed with a gel 7 is filled, which can store heat and cold. At the outer layer 5 are pimples 3 provided, which also with the gel 7 are filled. The pimples 3 have passages (not shown) for the gel 7 to the interior 6 on.

1 shows a cross section through a shell 1 that have a fascial role 2 is slipped. Because the case 1 is elastic and in the unstressed state has a smaller inner radius than the outer radius of the fascia roll 2 , it is by bias in a simple way but still safe on the fascia roll 2 to fix.

3 shows a perspective view of the shell 1 on a fascia roll 2 is attached. Through the numerous with gel 7 filled pimples 3 occurs a particularly effective massage effect, by the cooling or warming effect of the gel 7 is reinforced.

4 shows a perspective side view of the shell 1 with the fascia roll 2 out 3 , The case 1 is dimensioned such that the rolling surface of the fascia roll 2 is completely covered and therefore not shown.
