Abstract

The massage device has a vibration drive, fitted in a housing, and switch possibilities for the vibration drive, with a vibration probe (8) which is releasably connected to the drive (5) of the massage device. The vibration probe (8) is widened out frame-fashion, and is embedded in the interior of a cushion-type massage device near and parallel to its edge. The vibration probe can be bent meander-fashion. The probe and the drive are enclosed by a foam cover (3) with an overcoat (2). On the vibration probe at least two drives (5) are releasably connected. The meander-type bends of the vibration probe (8) lie in a stretched plane.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Weiterbildung des Massagegerätes mit Schwingsonde nach dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches gemäß Patent Nr. 43 37 645.The invention relates to a further development of the massage device with a vibration probe the preamble of the main claim according to Patent No. 43 37 645.

Herkömmliche Massagekissen verfügen über einen näherungsweise kastenförmigen Resonanzkörper aus Blech oder Kunststoff, der einerseits ungünstige akustische Eigenschaften aufweist, andererseits hinsichtlich einer eventuellen Überhitzung durch die Abwärme des Schwingantriebes Gefahren birgt. Ferner hat der hohle Resonanzkörper nun einmal eine gewisse Bauhöhe, die sich aber v. a. bei Rückenbehandlung im Liegen ungünstig auswirkt.Conventional massage cushions have an approximately box-shaped resonance body made of sheet metal or plastic, which on the one hand has unfavorable acoustic properties has, on the other hand with regard to a possible overheating by the waste heat of the Vibratory drive poses dangers. Furthermore, the hollow resonance body has one certain overall height, which, however, a. with back treatment when lying down has an unfavorable effect.

Der Neuerung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Massagekissen so weiterzubilden, daß es bei extrem flacher Bauweise und günstigen akustischen wie thermischen Eigenschaften eine optimale Ausbreitung und Übertragung der Vibrationsimpulse bietet mit gleichmäßiger intensiver Schwingung aller Bereiche.The innovation is therefore based on the task of developing a massage cushion so that it with an extremely flat design and favorable acoustic and thermal properties provides an optimal spread and transmission of the vibration impulses with even intensive vibration of all areas.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Kennzeichen von Anspruch 1 und Anspruch 2 dazu angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the specified in the characterizing part of claim 1 and claim 2 Features resolved.

Die Schwingsonde ist gemäß Hauptanspruch 1 rahmenartig aufgeweitet und im Innern eines kissenartigen Massagegerätes so eingebettet, daß sie näherungsweise parallel zu dessen Rand verläuft. Nach Hauptanspruch 2 ist die Schwingsonde mäanderartig gebogen, entweder so, daß die Biegungen in einer gestreckten Ebene liegen oder aber in einer eindimensional gekrümmten Ebene. Die Schwingsonde ist verbunden mit einem oder mehreren Antrieben und, gemeinsam mit diesen, von Schaumstoff und einem Bezug ummantelt.The vibrating probe is expanded like a frame according to main claim 1 and inside one pillow-like massager so embedded that it is approximately parallel to its edge runs. According to main claim 2, the vibrating probe is bent in a meandering manner, either in such a way that the bends lie in a straight plane or in a one-dimensionally curved Level. The vibration probe is connected to one or more drives and, together with these, covered with foam and a cover.

Damit die Schwingung ungedämpft übertragen und gleichmäßig verteilt wird, ist die Schwingsonde (8) aus federhartem Material, z. B. Stahl oder Glasfiber, hergestellt.So that the vibration is transmitted undamped and evenly distributed, the vibration probe ( 8 ) is made of spring-hard material, e.g. B. steel or fiberglass.

Die Vorteile der Erfindung liegen in einer leichten und kostengünstigen Ausführung des Resonators bei extrem geringer Bauhöhe und dadurch bequemer Behandlung auch im Liegen ohne überstreckte Wirbelsäule und in der praktisch lautlosen Arbeitsweise des Gerätes ohne kastenförmigen Resonanzkörper, der ja stets auch ein "Resonanzboden" ist und die 25-Hz- Schwingung unangenehm hörbar macht. Auch die Probleme mit einer unkontrollierten Erwärmung des Schwingantriebes durch die Einkapselung im Resonanzkörper - gleichgültig, ob Stahl oder Duroplast - entfallen beim Massagekissen mit erfindungsgemäßem Schwingantrieb.The advantages of the invention lie in a light and inexpensive design of the Resonators with an extremely low overall height and therefore comfortable treatment even when lying down without stretched spine and in the practically silent mode of operation of the device without box-shaped resonance body, which is always a "soundboard" and the 25 Hz Makes vibration unpleasantly audible. Also the problems with uncontrolled warming of the vibratory drive through the encapsulation in the resonance body - regardless of whether Steel or thermoset plastic - not required for massage cushions with a vibration drive according to the invention.

Abschließend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel anhand der Zeichnung erläutert.Finally, an embodiment is explained using the drawing.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein kissenartiges Massagegerät 1, bei dem am Antrieb 5 mit eingebautem Schwingerzeuger 5b die rahmenartig aufgeweitete Schwingsonde 8 parallel zum Rand des Bezuges 2 angebracht ist. Am Kabel 7 ist über einen elektrischen Verteiler 11 außer dem Antrieb 5 noch die bei diesen Geräten übliche Heizung 4 angeschlossen. Alle Bauteile sind eingebettet in einen Schaumstoffmantel 3. Fig. 1 shows a pillow-like massage device 1 , in which the frame-like widened vibrating probe 8 is attached to the drive 5 with built-in vibrator 5 b parallel to the edge of the cover 2 . In addition to the drive 5 , the heater 4 customary in these devices is connected to the cable 7 via an electrical distributor 11 . All components are embedded in a foam jacket 3 .

Fig. 2 stellt eine mäanderförmig gebogene Schwingsonde 8 dar, die beispielsweise zweistückig hergestellt und mit zwei Antrieben (5, 5b) verbunden ist. Zwischen den Antrieben (5, 5b) kann eine Versteifung (nicht gekennzeichnet) vorgesehen sein. Fig. 2 shows a meandering curved probe 8 , which is made, for example, in two pieces and is connected to two drives ( 5, 5 b). A stiffener (not marked) can be provided between the drives ( 5, 5 b).
