Massage table

The invention relates to a massage table with a grate. The present invention has for its object to provide a massage table that say ice gammas from head to Foot without external help made possible

7539628 04/29/76

This object is achieved by the invention in that the massage table is distributed over the lying surface of the bed grate has a multitude of massage elements that are used for massage-like action on corresponding parts of the body except for can be moved up and down in at least one other direction. With one that is characterized by these characteristics Massage table allows the body to be spread evenly and in a large number of parts of the body, from head to toe loosen up effectively, whereby the blood circulation of the massaged body parts increases and thereby the physical one Can improve well-being. This sense of well-being is achieved when you lie stretched out on the grate and the massage duck sets in motion and then the lying position aaeheinander one another takes, which are necessary to achieve a full massage.

The massage table can be used with particular advantage in the rooms of football teams, sports halls and in recreation rooms by factories and hotels, whereby sports clubs, companies and the hotel industry offer an additional service be able. The massage table in the home can also be used by the whole family.

The massage elements can be designed differently and in particular ustersehiödlick with one another. Further

the further movement superimposed on the raising and lowering movement can also take place in various ways; in particular, this Different movements on different massage elements are executed. For example, massage elements can at least partially have a suction cup-like design and are in their raised position in a horizontal plane can be driven in a circular motion, so that they, to a certain extent, have a bobbing movement perform and thereby have a corresponding effect in the sense of a massage on the body tissue.

Massage elements are preferably used in the form of freely rotating rollers or cylinders moving along a circular path, which have a striking effect during their circular movement on the body to be massaged and after they hit it unroll gently by sliding back down from your body move away. This results in an advantageous construction when the roller-shaped or roller-shaped massage element «opens up Move circular paths that extend along the lying grate move vertical planes. By choosing the appropriate direction of movement, a full massage from head to toe can be achieved or in the opposite direction, i.e. from foot to head. It can also be useful to have one at a time To let part of the massage elements rotate in opposite directions.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the roles are or

Rolls arranged in rows at a distance from one another, wherein these rows extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bed surface. The mutual assignment of the massage elements be made in such a way that those of two adjacent rows are arranged offset to one another with gaps. It is also advantageous if there are stationary support strips between the individual transverse rows, which are advantageous are elastic.

In a further advantageous development, the rollers or cylinders of each transverse row are each on an eccentric bearing axis a common support shaft, with adjacent rollers or rollers of a transverse row on the support shaft are arranged offset from one another, whereby the aforementioned mutual arrangement is achieved offset from one another with gaps will. It is advantageous here to counteract the effect of a storage force on the carrier axis on the longitudinal side parts of the lying grate adjustable in height so that an individual setting of the pressure is possible with which the massage elements, when they move from bottom to top in their massage position, act on the body.

Furthermore, the strength of the storage force holding the support axles can be changed in order to increase the hardness of the Massage elements to be able to produce blows on the body variably. After all, it is cheap, all of them

The massage table shown has a designated as a whole with 10 Lying grate on, which consists of a lower rectangular frame 12 and one arranged at a distance above the same rectangular frame 14 is formed. The upper frame 14 is preferably spaced about 30 cm apart Support? 16 held detachable, which in turn are fixedly arranged on the frame. Between the longitudinal sides of the frame 14 are arranged at a parallel distance from each other, preferably resilient, elastic support struts 18, wherein between these massage elements in the form of rollers 20 are located. These rollers are arranged in rows and spaced apart from one another such that there are, for example, three rollers 20 between the individual support struts, their mutual Distance is greater than the axial length of these rollers.

From Fig. 2 it can be seen that these rollers are diametrically opposite further rollers 20 are assigned in such a way that they are each located below a roller spacing. the individual rollers are freely rotatably mounted on eccentric bearing axles 22 of a common support shaft 24, which in turn is freely rotatably mounted with its bearing pin 26, 28 in ball bearings 30 of a bearing body 32. The bearing body is mounted vertically displaceably in one of the supports 16 forming the bearing and receiving body and is supported by a compression spring 34 supported. For the horizontally movable arrangement of the carrier shaft, its bearing journals each pass through a longitudinal

slot 36 of the relevant support 16. The spring stiffness of the compression spring 34 can be adjusted with certain supports with the help Adjust an adjusting device, which is arranged by a support plate adjustable in height by means of a threaded spindle SS 40 is formed. The threaded spindle is guided in a lockable manner in the frame 12. The eccentric bearing axles 22 of the rollers 20 are arranged radially on the carrier shaft? .4 Spokes 42, 44 held, the construction being made such that easy interchangeability of the rollers is possible is. For the sake of simplicity, however, the structural details necessary for this are not shown. The two frames 12, can be made of metal, e.g. aluminum, or of hardwood, whereby the upper frame 14 can be made separable, so that the inner parts of the massage grate are accessible in the event of any repairs. Both the upper frame 14 as The support struts 18 are also preferably provided with a cushioning cover, for example with carpet material, leather, imitation leather, Fur or synthetic, velvety fabrics. The individual carrier shafts 24 of the various rows of rollers are can be driven jointly by a drive motor 46 which over a chain 48 drives a driving chain 50, the simultaneous All carrier shafts 24 are driven by meshing with corresponding chain wheels 52. Coupling devices can be used be provided, which make it possible to uncouple individual carrier shafts 24 independently of one another from the drive.

7539628 04/29/76

In the construction shown, when the carrier shafts rotate, the individual rollers move along a circular path 54, which lie in planes extending along the lying grate. During their movement, the rollers 20 dive between the individual support struts out of the top of the frame 14. In doing so, you act on the body of yourself on the lying grate person lying on the floor for the purpose of a full massage, as the rollers have a certain impact effect and are in this Then roll the area on the body of the person to be massaged. The massage effect of the individual rollers only comes over a relatively small area of the circular path to the effect »whereby when lowering the rollers that have just been in use Dereit5 die andcicu udJc «η'άΐΑοΓ *» us dc ~.

step out and then effect a massage in the area that has been left out by the three rollers that were previously in use is. In this way, the intended full massage can be achieved from head to toe, depending on the direction of rotation Carrier waves 24 the massage direction once from head to toe and then from foot to head can be chosen. A switch-on device 56 is used to operate the Hassageliege, which controls the drive motor, which is preferably designed as a three-phase motor that can be regulated with regard to its speed, to control and thereby able to regulate the speed of the carrier waves continuously. A headrest can also be attached to the head end of the lying grate which is not shown in detail. Due to the resilient support of the carrier shafts, the individual

NEN body parts matching impact effect of the rollers achieved, the massage pressure determined by the adjusting device 38, 40 Rolling can still be set individually. One can also think of throwing in the drive motor press a coin au, which is advantageous when the massage table in public sports facilities, swimming pools and the like. is set up.

The individual rollers can have a jacket made of elastic Material, for example made of medium-hard rubber, and optionally also be covered with fabric or leather. Furthermore, the rollers can be designed at least in part as brush rollers, in that they are brush-like on their circumference Elements such as elongated knobs and the like. Have. Furthermore, the support struts are advantageous in width Choose so that the rollers in their maximum massage position are about one to two cm away from these support struts to have. With the aid of the adjusting devices 38, 40, in particular, the rollers located in the region of the abdominal muscles can be moved into Adjust the height so that the massage creates harder abdominal muscles.

With the help of the adjusting devices 38, 40, the strokes of certain massage rollers can be regulated, and when they are in In the unloaded state, for example, protrude 2 cm beyond the support struts, with the imprint of the human body around
