Pulsator massager, especially in sync with the Heartbeat working device

The invention relates to the improvement of pulsator

Ice cream is still provided with devices for · regulating the j Duration of the pressures sent out rhythmically by the heart as well as the pressure value of each of these pressures and the delay in the Provided instant of transmission of the pressure with regard to the heartbeat. A particularly good description of this Device gives the French patent no. 95 «.79β, pending on j5o.12.47 in the name of Mr. Maurice FUCHS, from which it follows » that the electric drive device is connected to one between the compressed air transmission device and the massage part the trigger valve attached to the lying point is actuated in such a way that

that the supply of compressed air flowing out of the container is brought about in accordance with the heart rhythm or interrupted and the air during this time interval accordingly the air in the massage part can escape ".

There are also other devices known, but they are all equipped with a compressor-actuating motor, which Compressor compresses the air in a supply container to then feed them to the massage parts in a distributor secured by an electromagnetic slide valve.

With these devices a permanent air flow is required, due to the electronic switching devices and the: pumping energy of the air, a certain electricity consumption - is laid. These devices are relatively large, heavy and : expensive. In addition, they work very noisily and can be very annoying to the patient, their space requirements and their weight prevent the patient from moving. Experience has shown that a portable device could be used to carry out the treatment at home : and indeed of medical interest in bedridden or immobile patients.

The object of the invention is to meet these requirements ■ to satisfy and eliminate the aforementioned inconveniences and to provide a device that is easy to use the same initial, reduced amount of air throughout the treatment.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the j device has an electromagnetic organ whose energy comes from! is enough to the massage part without loss of air which are greater than the normal escapes - which, by the way be compensated by a supply under pressure - a modular

Gentlemen, supply adjustable pressure.

The invention is illustrated by means of one in the accompanying drawing illustrated embodiment described. This drawing Fig. 3 is a schematic view of the electro-pneumatic part j of the device.

^! The device consists of an electro-pneumatic organ, designated in its entirety with A, which is composed of:

- an electromagnet E, which operates a compressor C,

- an electromagnetic diaphragm pump P,

- a tap V,

- a manometer M,

- a rubber gag 0, which represents the massage organ and on which the compressor C acts.

The electromagnet E is via the two terminals G, H powered. These terminals receive electrical power through a well-known electronic amplifier, transformer and Modulatoraniage, which in turn send a signal from the patient applied electrodes. In the present case, the electronic system is designed and used as a transistor on the one hand, the one corresponding to the tip of the electric diagram Signal H and on the other hand the device contraction to be recorded at the area to be treated. The signal R is used to actuate the electromagnet E in synchronism with the Device contraction, this already mentioned in the above-mentioned French Patent No. 95ο · 79Β described device is used in the present Patent not retained, all amplifier tube components are made by modern devices ·.: -.-., such as transistors, replaced.

The compressor C consists essentially of a piston Q actuated by a piston rod T. This movable construction can of the electromagnet E and the spring S in opposite Directions are moved. A bellows or sieve lid membrane N covers the piston Q and is in the through the two Pieces of the compressor C are inserted into the joint formed.

The movement of the piston rod T is regulated by a wedge-shaped stop B, which is under the action of a screw spindle W moves perpendicular to the piston rod T in order to, when the finger D hits the wedge surface of the stop B, the Limit downward movement of the piston rod T. The finger D is positively connected to the piston rod.

The method of operation of the device according to the invention is described below described with reference to the drawing. At the moment of start-up, an electrical contact sets the pump P in motion, which supplies a certain amount of air from the massage device and the connecting lines of the system to the compressor C under pressure. The desired pressure can be set by means of the manometer M. Once it is reached, the valve V is closed and the pump P put out of service. Thereafter, the pump P is only adjusted and the valve V only opened to prevent any air leakage To compensate in the aforementioned tree. Here you have to keep in mind that there is always the same air in the compressor C and the massage part 0 is included essential feature of the invention.

After activating the synchronization controls on the electronic The treatment phase takes place.

During the treatment, each cardiac signal causes an electrical signal in terminals G and H at the desired moment Current, whereby the electromagnet E during the set

Remains under tension for a long time. The electromagnet E moves the Piston rod T and the piston Q provided with the diaphragm N. In this way, the spring S and the one in the Compressor C as well as air contained in the massage device 0; compressed.

When the electrical current stops at the terminals G, H is supplied, the electromagnet slackens, the piston rod T and the piston Q move upwards under the action of the spring S, the membrane N follows this movement, and the air pressure in the compressor C and the massage part 0 decreases.

At the beginning of the work process, the screw spindle W j can be adjusted so that the movement of the piston rod T and j the pressure differences in the massage part 0 are adjusted ; can.

The invention is applicable to all massage devices in general, including being out of sync with heartbeats; working devices.

The device according to the invention is by far lighter and simpler constructed as that in French patent 95Ö.79H bej written device. Sem power consumption is lower. As a result of the In the absence of the noises caused by the escape of air, it works practically noiselessly. It is also j less expensive.
