Description

The invention relates to massagers with several massage heads and can be used for carrying out physiotherapy procedures in medical, sports and rehabilitation institutions, as well as at home.

A massager with two spherical massage heads of different diameters and an elongated holder with a segment curved at an angle of 60-120 ° is known, one of the heads is located at the end of the holder, and the second at the end of its curved segment (RF Patent No. 2040239, M. Cl. А61Н 15/00, 1995).

This massager causes a small range of massage regimes, since it provides only the use of one or the second head alone. In addition, a single head can be used to treat only a small area of the patient’s massage zone, therefore a massage of the entire zone, if it has a large area, requires considerable time.

Also known is a massager with four spherical massage heads of three different diameters and an elongated body, with the first head mounted on one end of the body, the second and third heads of the same diameter on two holders parallel to the body axis on the second body end and the fourth on the body perpendicular to the body axis (patent Of the Russian Federation No. 2042347, M. CL. А61Н 15/00, 1995).

This massager provides a much larger range of massage modes, because it provides both the use of four heads alone, and the combined use of the first and fourth heads, or the second and third. The ability to share pairs of heads, in addition, allows heads to cover a large area of the massaged area of the patient's body and thereby reduces the duration of the massage of this area.

At the same time, the range of massage regimes is limited by the possibility of using heads individually and sharing only two heads. In addition, the joint use of only two heads causes a significant duration of massage with a large area of the patient's body.

Also known massager in the form of three spherical massage heads with different diameters placed at the ends of three elongated holders located at angles of 120 ° ± 20 ° to each other in the same plane and interconnected by opposite ends of the heads (RF Patent No. 2063739, M. C АНН 15/00, 1996).

In the specified massager, the surfaces of the three heads in contact with the massaged area of the patient’s body form a working plane tangent to these surfaces. Thus, the massager provides, along with the use of three heads alone (which can be made with different diameters) and the joint use of two massage heads, the combined use of three heads when the massager contacts the massaged area of the patient’s body with a working plane formed by the surfaces of all three massage heads, which provides another massage technique that is qualitatively different from the modes of pair and single use of the heads and, in addition, allows you to process in one ohod massager massazhiruemoy large area of the patient body area and thereby reduce the duration of the massage and reduce fatigue masseur.

However, the presence of only three heads in the massager and the formation of heads of only one working plane makes it possible to combine only three forms of execution of heads in one massager and limits the number of combinations of heads only by using them one by one (three combinations), jointly using two of three heads with parallel movement of each of three pairs of heads (three combinations) and moving each of the three pairs of heads one after the other (three combinations), as well as sharing all three heads (one and a combination thereof) that, in turn, limits the range of massage modes.

The closest to the totality of features and the achieved result to the invention is a massager with four massage elements in the form of spherical massage heads placed at the ends of four opposite ends connected to the ends of the elongated holders arranged to form four working planes of the massager, each of which is tangent to the final surfaces of the three heads and intersects with other working surfaces with the formation of an imaginary four-sided pyramid, inside each of the trihedral One of the massage heads is located at the corners of which, near its top, and at the pyramid at a distance from each of the working planes is the junction of the holders, and at least one of the heads is made with a different diameter (US patent for industrial design number 377100, class Ό24-211, 1996).

Each of the four heads is located inside the triangular angle at one of the four vertices of the imaginary pyramid and therefore three separate areas of its surface refers to three working planes, which are the edges of the imaginary pyramid, therefore, when performing all massage heads with different diameters, each of the working planes differs from the others a combination of heads for its size. In addition, it gives you six different combinations for paired use of heads and four different head diameters for single use. At the same time, when using heads alone or when two or three heads are used together, different sizes of heads provide different parameters of their effect on the tissue of the massage zone (i.e. pressure values on the heads of the fabric, shapes and sizes of the contact surfaces of the tissue with the heads, because the specified parameters are functions not only of efforts on the massager, but also of the shapes and sizes of the heads), which causes different tissue reactions to the effects of different heads, in particular, different shapes and sizes of tissue deformations in estah its contact with the heads of the different values of stresses in the tissue, that is, different massage modes.

Thus, unlike the previous analogue, the prototype massager is suitable for carrying out a larger number of massage methods, since it causes a much larger range of massage regimens.

However, in the prototype massager, only three massage elements (massage heads) are possible jointly, which excludes the possibility of regimes with the combined effect of four massage elements that determine the limited range of massage methods and regimes performed by this massager.

The basis of the invention is the task of improving the massager by equipping it with at least one fixed massage element at the junction of the holders, which makes it possible to carry out massage modes with the combined effect of four massage elements and, as a result, expands the range of massage methods and modes .

The task is solved by the fact that in the massager with four massage elements in the form of massage heads with curvilinear, convex, in contact with the massaged area surfaces placed at the ends of four opposing heads connected to the ends of the elongated holders, and holders with heads are formed with the formation of four working planes of the massager, each of which is tangent to the end surfaces of the three heads and intersects with other working surfaces with the formation of an imaginary The pyramid of the pyramid, inside each of the three-sided corners of which, near its top, is one of the massage heads, and inside the pyramid at a distance from each of the working planes — the junction of the holders, in accordance with the invention, the massager is equipped with at least one perpendicular working planes of the massager with an additional massage element with a surface in contact with the area being massaged, made in the form of a protrusion at the junction of the holders of the massage heads or one-piece akreplennym therein, and its contacting area massazhiruemoy surface is disposed with a touch to the working plane a masseur or offset from it in the direction of or place holders compound.

Equipping the massager with at least one of the above-mentioned additional massage elements provides the possibility of sharing four massage elements in at least one working plane of the massager. This provides at least one fundamentally different massage mode, while the presence of an additional massage element in contact with the massaged area of which the surface, that is, its final surface, is located with a touch to the working plane, that is, on the same level with the final surfaces of three massage heads, with which this working plane is joined, provides a massage mode in which this additional massage element acts in the same way as the three massage elements shared with it olovkam, ie it is equivalent to the presence of a working plane four massage elements, which gives a massage mode, particularly useful for relatively flat massazhiruemyh zones. The location of the final plane of the additional massage element with a shift towards the junction of the holders gives a different mode, in which during the massage more or less flat zones three massage heads go deeper into the tissue of the zone being massaged, and the additional massage element only touches it or goes deeper into the tissue than massage heads, and when massaging rounded body parts of patients or users, all four massage elements act approximately equally. The location of the final surface of the additional massage element with a protrusion behind the working plane of the massager gives another massage mode in which the additional massage element goes deeper into the tissue of the massage zone, and the three massage heads can only touch the massage zone or slightly dip into it. At the same time, the location of the three massage elements along the tops of the triangle and one in the center corresponds to the natural form of neurons and therefore creates an energy field that reflects the natural energy field of cells and areas of the human body, which favorably affects patients or users. All this makes the massager suitable for the implementation of massage methods involving modes with the combined effect of four massage heads, which expands the range of massage methods and modes carried out by the massager. Performing an additional massage element in the form of a protrusion is the simplest from the point of view of the technology of manufacturing the massager, and fixing the additional massage element at the junction of the holders of the massage heads makes it possible to manufacture an additional massage element from a material other than the massager. The detachable fastening of the massage element on the massager complicates the manufacturing technology of the massager and its use, but at the same time allows it to be equipped with a set of interchangeable additional massage elements, different in shape, size, materials or useful biological activity, and, depending on the required massage mode, setting on the head of a massage element from this kit. This provides many possible combinations of massage elements for their joint action and, as a result, many possible massage methods and regimes. The uninterrupted fixing of additional massage elements on the massager provides an easy manufacture of the massager and its reliable and simple use, but at the same time excludes the possibility of replacing some additional massage elements with others that differ in shape, size, materials and useful biological activity, which limits the range of possible massage methods and modes . The presence of one additional massage element causes the simplest design and manufacture of the massager, as well as the convenience of the user to capture the massager, but necessitates the frequent replacement of additional massage elements when using massage methods with a wide range of massage regimens and when massaging several areas of the body. The presence of several additional massage elements allows you to pre-install the necessary additional massage elements and thereby reduce the number of their replacements, but makes using the massager less convenient, since the additional massage elements protrude at the locations of the user's fingers when grabbing the massager.

It should be noted that the invention can be implemented with the achievement of the technical result specified in the task, both when the massage is performed symmetrical, that is, with the same angles between the holders of massage heads equal to 120 °, and when it is asymmetrical, that is, at different angles between the massage holders heads, as when performing surfaces of massage heads in contact with the zone being massaged, and additional massage elements spherical, and when they are oval or ellipsoidal.

It is advisable to perform at the junction of the holders at least one hole perpendicular to one of the working planes of the massager, and an additional massage element, or each of them, be made up of a working tip with a surface in contact with the area being massaged, and which can be fixed in the hole in junction holders. With the same shape and dimensions of the shanks of additional massage elements, their working tips can have different shapes and sizes, which allows holes to be made at the junction of holders with a small diameter and thus weaken this place to the least extent, and working tips to have a large contact surface with the massaged zone, up to the size of the contact surface of the massage head. This embodiment of additional massage elements provides a relatively simple and convenient connection to the massager, but if there are several additional massage elements, several holes can significantly weaken the junction of the holders of the massage heads.

The shank of the additional massage element and the hole at the junction of the holders can be threaded, and the shank of the additional massage element is screwed into the hole at the junction of the holders. Such anchoring of additional massage elements on the massager is reliable and convenient, but needs to be threaded on the shanks of the massage elements and in the holes at the junction of the holders. In addition, when performing a plastic massager, the thread in the head hole may not be sufficiently strong.

In this case, a metal nut or an inner threaded sleeve, into which the threaded shank of the additional massage element is screwed, can be pressed into the hole at the junction of the holders. Such anchoring of the massage elements at the junction of the holders provides a stable thread in the holes, but at the same time it more weakens the junction of the holders with several holes in it.

A connecting element consisting of two, three or four connected by metal pipe ends with internal thread with the location of each of them perpendicular to one of the working planes of the massager can be embedded inside the junction of the holders, and each of the additional massage elements can consist of a working tip and a shaft, with which it is fixed in the hole of the corresponding tube. This makes it possible to fasten several additional massage elements without weakening the junction of the holders, since the material of this place encompasses the connecting element with adhesion to its entire surface, but complicates the design and manufacture of the massager.

In addition, each of the tubes of the connecting element can be made with an internal one, and the shank of each additional massage element can be externally threaded, and each additional massage element can be screwed into the hole of the corresponding tube.

It is advisable to perform at the junction of the holders, at least one shank, perpendicular to one of the working planes of the massager, and an additional massage element or each of them with a blind hole and fix it with this hole on the shank at the junction of the holders. With the same shape and dimensions of the shanks at the junction of the holders and holes in the additional massage elements, the latter can have different shapes and sizes, which allows making holes in the additional massage elements with a relatively small diameter and, thus, weaken them to the least extent, and elements - with a large surface contact with the massage zone. Such anchoring additional massage elements on the massager eliminates the weakening of the junction of the holders, but at the same time is more difficult to manufacture.

The shank at the junction of the holders and the hole in the additional massage element can be made threaded, and the additional massage element can be screwed onto the shank at the junction of the holders. Such anchoring of the massage element on the massager complicates the manufacturing technology of the massager and its use, but provides the possibility of installing various additional massage elements on the massager.

At the same time, a metal nut or sleeve with an internal thread can be pressed into the hole in the additional massage element, with which the additional massage element is screwed onto the threaded shank at the junction of the holders. Such connection of the massage elements to the massager provides a solid thread in the holes of the additional massage elements.

An additional massage element or its working tip can be made in the form of a spherical segment and / or a cylinder or a cone with a rounded end. Each of these forms of performing an additional massage element or its tip provides a different effect on the massaged area, for example, a cylindrical additional massage element, i.e. a massage element with a working tip in the form of a cylinder with a rounded end, forms a recess in the massaged area with the steepest sides , and spherical (that is, massage element with a working tip in the form of a spherical segment) - with the most gentle, which causes different forms and values of def formulations of the tissue of the zone being massaged and stresses in it.

At least part of the additional massage element with the surface in contact with the massage zone can be made from a metal or alloy with useful biological activity, which ensures its special effect on the patient’s body, due to the characteristic biological activity of this metal or alloy, as well as his rubbing into the skin.

On the surface of an additional massage element in contact with the massaged area, a single-layer or multi-layer coating of a material with useful biological activity than the massage element can be applied, which ensures the transfer of trace elements from both the coating layers and the base of the massage element due to diffusion.

At the same time, the surface of the additional massage element that is in contact with the massaged area can be exposed from the layers of the coating on its top with the exit to the outside of each of the layers of the coating. Since the basis of the additional massage element and the layers of the coating are made of materials with different electrochemical potentials, galvanic microcurrents arise in the patient's body between the base and each of the coating layers, as well as between the individual layers. This is due to the fact that the base and the layers of the coating act as electrodes, and the fluid in the patient's epidermis - the function of the electrolyte. The presence of these galvanic microcurrents causes the electrical effect of the additional massage element on the massaged area of the patient's body and intensifies the transfer to the patient's body of trace elements from the base of the additional massage element and coating layers. In addition, relatively inexpensive, hard and durable materials, such as steel, copper, brass, can be used as the basis for an additional massage element, and soft, and / or expensive, and / or rare materials, such as tin, gold, silver, and platinum, can be used for coatings. .

The coating can be applied to the top of the surface of an additional massage element in contact with the area being massaged, which provides great savings for expensive and / or rare materials.

At least part of the additional massage element with the surface in contact with the massage zone or several of them can be made of wood. Wood is a tropic, that is, material related to human tissues, therefore the effect of an additional massage element made of wood has a particularly useful massage effect.

At least a part of an additional massage element with a surface in contact with the area being massaged or several of them can be made of natural bodies with useful biological activity, for example, amber, minerals, precious or semi-precious stones. Each type of natural body has its own structure and properties, in particular, weak radiation, as well as its own positive energy, which in a special way affects the patient's body. In addition, massage with natural bodies provides for the transfer of useful trace elements to the patient's body.

At least part of the additional massage element with a surface in contact with the area being massaged can be made of a permanent magnet, which, in addition to the mechanical one, also provides a magnetic effect on the area being massaged.

It is preferable to perform an additional massage element or several of them consisting of a holder made of metal or plastic and an insert made of wood, either of metal or alloy, or of a natural body with useful biological activity in a treated or untreated state, or in the form of a permanent magnet. . This provides the possibility of using additional massage elements from fragile, soft and difficult-to-work materials, as well as saving precious and rare materials.

In this case, the insert can be made with a hole through which a screw is screwed into a threaded hole in the bottom of the holder. This increases the reliability of fixing the insert in the holder and, in addition, provides additional electroplating and microelement effects of the screw head, if it is made of metal and also coated, especially of precious or rare material.

It is preferable to install, at least in one working plane of the massager, four additional massage elements perpendicular to this working plane with curvilinear, convex surfaces in contact with the area being massaged, one of which should be fixed at the junction of the holders, and the remaining three massage heads either permanently or detachably fasten on them. This provides a joint effect on the massaged area of four massage elements with different shape, size or other parameters from massage heads, which gives additional massage regimes. At the same time, the detachable fastening of additional massage elements on the massage heads and at the junction of the holders allows the massager to be equipped with a set of replaceable additional massage elements, different in shape, size, materials or useful biological activity, and, depending on the required massage mode, set to massage heads and To the junction of the holders, one or another massage elements from this kit, which act in the same working plane of the massager. This gives a lot of possible combinations of massage elements and, as a result, a lot of possible massage methods and modes when using four massage elements together.

In this case, one part of the additional massage elements can be made at the junction of the holders and on the massage heads or permanently fixed there, while the other is detachably connected to the massage heads and the junction of the holders. The constant presence of some of the most frequently used additional massage elements (which, for example, are provided by each of the massage methods or used to massage several areas of the patient's body), ensures the implementation of the most frequently used massage modes at the junction of the holders and on the massage heads; reduces the number of replacements of massage elements in comparison with the detachable fastening of them all, and the detachable fastening of other, less used massage elements, at the junction keeps Leu and on the massage heads provides the other necessary, less used massage regimes.

The massager (Fig. 1, 2) is made with four massage heads 1, 2, 3,4, placed on the ends of four oblong holders 5, 6, 7, 8, connected by opposite heads 1, 2, 3,4 ends, and the holders 5 6, 7, 8 with heads 1, 2, 3, 4 are located with the formation of four working planes 9, 10, 11, 12 of the massager, each of which is tangent to the surfaces of the three heads and intersects with other working surfaces with the formation of an imaginary tetrahedral pyramid , inside each of the three-sided corners of which is near each of its vertices 13, 14, 15, one of the working heads 1, 2, 3, 4 is located, and inside the pyramid at a distance from each of the working planes 9, 10, 11, 12 - the place 17 of the junction of the holders 5, 6, 7, 8. The working plane 9 is tangent to the surfaces heads 1, 2, 3 and formed by the edges of 18, 19, 20 imaginary pyramids. The working plane 10 is tangent to the surfaces of heads 1, 2, 4 and is formed by the edges 18, 21, 22 of an imaginary pyramid. The working plane 11 is tangent to the surfaces of the heads 1, 3, 4 and is formed by the edges 19, 21, 23 of the imaginary pyramid. The working plane 12 is tangent to the surfaces of the heads 2, 3, 4 and is formed by the edges 20, 22, 23 of the imaginary pyramid.

The massager (Fig. 3) is made with a screw hole 24 perpendicular to the working plane 9 of the massager at the place 17 of the connection of the holders 5, 6, 7, 8 massage heads 1, 2, 3, 4. The place 17 of the connection of the holders at the place of the hole 24 is made with the support platform 25 or with a protrusion 26 (Fig. 4) with a support platform 27.

A set of additional massage elements is given to the massager, consisting of several groups, each of which contains several massage elements, identical in shape final surfaces (that is, surfaces in contact with the area being massaged), but different in their length and diameter of these surfaces. Each additional massage element from the kit is made with a threaded shank for fixing it in the hole 24 at the holder connection point 17, which allows for each of the massage modes provided by the used massage method to install in the hole 24 a corresponding additional massage element from this kit. This provides many possible combinations of additional massage elements, working together in the working plane 9, and, as a result, allows you to implement a variety of massage methods and modes provided for them. One of these groups contains additional massage elements that are made with spherical working tips, that is, tips in the form of spherical segments of different diameters, such as a massage element 28, made with a working tip 29 (Fig. 3) with a diameter equal to the diameter of the massage head 1, 2 or 3, and a threaded shank 30 with a support surface 31; massage element 32 (Fig. 4) with a working tip 33 with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the head 1, 2 or 3, and a threaded stepped shank 34 consisting of a threaded ledge 35 and a smooth ledge 36, at the junction of which the bearing surface 37 is formed. This group also contains other, different in length, additional massage elements with different diameters of the working tips.

The second group contains additional massage elements with cylindrical working tips of different diameters, for example, massage element 38 (Fig. 5), made with a working tip 39 in the form of a cylinder with a rounded end 40 and a supporting surface 41, as well as with a threaded shank 42. Third group contains several additional massage elements with conical working tips of different diameters, for example a massage element 43 (FIG. 6), made with a working tip 44 in the form of a cone with a rounded end 45 and supporting surface 46, as well as with a threaded shank 47 or a stepped shank 48 (Fig. 7), consisting of a threaded ledge 49 and a smooth ledge 50, at the junction of which the support surface 51 is formed. The fourth group contains additional massage elements of the same shape and size with massage elements of the first group, but with protrusions 52 rounded at the tops on the end surfaces (Fig. 8). Subsequent types of additional massage elements that may be included in the specified kit will be given below.

For the implementation of one of the massage methods, consisting of several different mechanical parameters of the parameters, the following additional massage elements can be sequentially fixed on the massager. Additional massage element 28 screwed threaded shank 30 (Fig. 3) into a threaded hole 24 in the massager with the support of its support surface 31 in the support pad 25 of the massager. An additional massage element 32 is screwed into the opening 24 of the massager with the support of its support surface 37 into the support pad 27 of the massager (Fig. 4). Additional massage elements 38 (Fig. 5), 43 (Fig. 6, 7) are screwed with their threaded shanks 42, 47 or with a threaded ledge 49 into the opening 24 of the tumbler with their abutment their supporting surfaces 41, 46 or 51 into the supporting pad 25 of the tumbler (Fig 3) or in the supporting platform 27 of the protrusion 26 (Fig. 4), made in the place 17 of the connection of the holders 5, 6, 7, 8.

The dimensions of some additional massage elements, for example a massage element 53 with a spherical working tip 54 (Fig. 9), after they are fixed in the massager, ensure the location of the final surface 55 with touching the working plane 9 of the massager tangent to the final surfaces of the massage heads 1, 2, 3, between which is placed the massage element 53.

The dimensions of other additional massage elements, such as a massage element with a spherical working tip 58 (Fig. 10), after they are fixed in the massager, ensure that the end surface 59 is located relative to the working plane 9 of the massager with a shift in the direction of the holder connection point 17. The dimensions of one more additional massage elements, for example a massage element 60 with a conical working tip 61 (Fig. 11), after their fixing in the massager ensure that the end surface 62 is located relative to the working plane 9 of the massager with a protrusion beyond this plane.

The massager is made of plastic by injection molding. The hole 24 in the place 17 of the connection of the holders for the shanks of the additional massage elements is carried out during casting or drilled in the cast massager. Additional massage elements are made from plastic by casting, in particular under pressure, or from other materials using other technologies.

The massager works as follows.

Massage heads 1, 2, 3, 4 one by one are used for massage and self-massage of biologically active points and muscle groups located in hard-to-reach places (for example, intercostal muscles, muscles of the hand and foot), small joints of the hands and feet, places of pain points with neuralgia, places of thickening on the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and in general those areas of the body where there are any pathological deposits. The head moves the skin beneath it, deep into the fabric. To do this, install the massager in such a way that the holder 5, 6, 7 or 8 is located perpendicular or slightly oblique to the surface of the massaged area of the body, and create the necessary pressure on the massager, vibrating the head, turning it around its axis or giving the massager reciprocating motion .

Heads 1,2, 3,4 are also used in pairs. For massage and self-massage of long muscles and muscle groups of the leg, thigh, forearm, shoulder, deltoid muscles, paravertebral muscle groups in the longitudinal and transverse directions, use any pair of massage heads 1, 2, 3, 4, positioning the plane formed perpendicular to the corresponding pair of holders or obliquely relative to the massage zone.

The combined use of the three heads allows for massage and self-massage of large areas of the body, that is, massage and self-massage of wide muscles and large muscle groups, such as the widest back muscle, shoulder muscles, large and small pectoral muscles, sciatic muscles, hip joints, scalp. In this case, the massager attached circular or reciprocating motion. Massage with three massage heads is carried out by working planes 10, 11, 12.

To share four massage elements, i.e. heads 1, 2, 3, and an additional massage element, the latter, for example massage element 53 (FIG. 9), is screwed with a threaded shank into the threaded hole 24 in the massager against the abutment of its supporting surface 31 25 massager. The final surface 55 of the massage element 53 is located relative to the working plane 9 of the massager on the same level as the surfaces of the massage heads 1, 2, 3 that are in contact with the massage zone, therefore all four massage elements 53, 1, 2, 3 go deeper into the tissue of the massage zone by the same amount . The working plane 9 formed in this way is preferable to carry out massage and self-massage of relatively flat areas with a large area, for example, wide muscles and large muscle groups, such as the widest back muscle, scapula muscles, large and small pectoral muscles. The diameters of the massage elements are the same order of magnitude, so they all make the same impact on the tissue of the zone being massaged, creating a symmetrical massage mode. Depending on the parameters of the massaged area and the specified massage technique, additional massage elements of different shape and diameters of the working tips are installed on the massager, for example, such as those shown in FIG. 58, the longitudinal dimensions of which provide the location of the end surfaces of the working tips on the same level with the similar surfaces of the massage heads. These additional massage elements have smaller diameters of the working tips and therefore cause a smaller area of contact with the area being massaged, which provides more rigid massage regimes. It should be noted that any additional massage element is in the center of the triangle formed by heads 1, 2, 3, and therefore is the center of the energy field formed by four massage elements, regardless of the location of the final surface of the additional massage element relative to the working plane 9 of the massager, which has positive effect on the patient during a massage.

Massage element 57 (Fig. 10) with a spherical working tip 58 is located above the working plane 9 of the massager, and therefore, when massaging relatively flat areas of a large surface, it is less than the heads 1, 2, 3, goes into the tissue of the massaged area, or slightly joins with it, or is above it. In the latter case, the massage element 57 performs only the function of the center of the energy field formed by the four massage elements, which has a positive effect on the patient during the massage. The working plane 9 formed in this way is preferable to carry out massage and self-massage of the rounded parts of the human body, for example, hands and feet. Depending on the parameters of the massaged area and a given massage technique, additional massage elements, different in shape and diameters of the working tips, are also installed on the massager, for example, such as shown in FIG. 5-8, the longitudinal dimensions of which provide the location of the end surfaces of the working tips relative to the working plane 9 of the massager with an offset towards the place 17 of the connection of the holders.

Massage element 60 (Fig. 11) with a conical working tip 61 is located with a protrusion relative to the working plane 9 of the massager and therefore during the massage it more deeply penetrates into the tissue of the massage zone than the heads 1, 2, 3, which creates a regime with different effects of the massage elements on the fabric massaged area. Depending on the parameters of the massaged area and a given massage technique, additional massage elements, different in shape and diameters of the working tips, are also installed on the massager, for example, such as shown in FIG. 5-8, the longitudinal dimensions of which provide the location of the end surfaces of the working tips relative to the working plane 9 of the massager with a protrusion beyond this plane.

Physiotherapy procedures are carried out by mechanical dosed effects in the form of strokes, pressure, rubbing, superficial and deep kneading of muscles, as well as vibration through fabric, clothing, or directly onto the exposed massage zone.

The impact on the massaged area 63 (FIG. 12) with a massage head or an additional massage element with a spherical working tip of a large diameter, for example, a massage element 28 shown in FIG. 3, provides the maximum area of contact with this zone and, as a consequence, the minimum pressure (that is, the minimum force per unit area of zone 63). This causes the minimum deepening of the working tip 29 of the massage element 28 into the tissue of the massaged area 63 and, as a result, the minimum levels of deformation of the tissue of the massaged area 63 and stresses in it. The large radius of curvature of the working tip 29 causes a smooth deformation of the massaged area 63. The impact of an additional massage element with a spherical working tip of a much smaller diameter with the same force on the massager provides a much greater pressure on the tissue of the massaged area and therefore a much larger recess in it of the working tip and, as consequence, significantly greater levels of tissue deformation and stress in it.

The impact on the massaged area 63 (FIG. 13) of an additional massage element with a conical working tip, for example, shown in FIG. 6 of the massage element 43 with a conical working tip 44, along with a large recess in the fabric of the zone 63 causes the steeper sides of this recess. The impact on the massaged area 63 (FIG. 14) shown in FIG. 5 additional massage element 38 with a cylindrical working tip 39 causes the steeper sides of the recess in the fabric of zone 63, than the impact of the massage element 43 with a conical working tip 44 or a massage element 28 with a spherical working tip. Shown in FIG. 8, an additional massage element with protrusions 52 on the surface in contact with the massaged area when deepening into the patient’s body creates a different impact pattern on the massaged area than other massage elements, since the protrusions 52 significantly increase the roughness of the final surface, which increases the friction force between this additional massage element and massaged area.

The massager can be made with a smooth hole 64 in the place 17 of the connection of the holders (Fig. 15), and any additional massage element, such as a massage element 65 with a spherical working tip 66 and a smooth shank 67, can be installed with a shank 67 with a tension in the hole 64 in the junction of the holders and removed from it for replacement by another, necessary for the implementation of a different massage mode. Significant tension causes the possibility of damage to the shank or hole 64 when replacing additional massage elements and their wear during these changes, and low tension is not a sufficiently strong connection between the additional massage elements and the holder connection point 17.

The massager can be made with a hexagonal hole 68 in the place 17 of the connection of the holders (Fig. 16) into which a metal nut 69 with an internal thread is pressed, and any of the additional massage elements, for example the massage element 70, can be screwed into the nut 69 with a rifted shank 71 Such attachment of the massage elements to the place 17 of the connection of the holders provides a stronger fixation of the massage elements in the place 17, but at the same time it weakens this place to a greater degree with several openings in it. Hole 68 can be made round, and instead of a nut to it, a sleeve with an internal thread (not shown) can be pressed in.

The massager (Fig. 17) can be made with a protrusion 72 in the place 17 of the connection of the holders, having a support pad 73 and a threaded shank 74, and any of the additional massage elements, such as a massage element 75, with a hollow longitudinal threaded hole 76. Additional massage element 75 screwed by the threaded hole 76 on the threaded shank 74 of the protrusion 72. Such attachment of massage elements to the massager eliminates the weakening of the place 17 of the connection holders, but at the same time weakens the additional massage elements.

The threaded shank 77 (FIG. 18) can be made of metal and pressed into the blind hole 78 in the protrusion 79, and the additional massage element 75 is screwed with the threaded hole 76 on the threaded shank 77, which provides a strong threaded connection between the massage element 75 and the massager.

In the manufacture of an additional massage element 80 from a material in which the thread would be fragile, a metal nut 82 or an inner thread sleeve can be pressed into this element 81 (FIG. 19), and any of the additional massage elements, such as a massage element 80, screwed with its nut or sleeve 82 on the threaded shank 83 of the protrusion 84 in place 17 of the connection holders. Such connection of the massage elements to the massager ensures the stability of the thread in the holes of the additional massage elements.

Additional massage elements of any of the above-described shapes and sizes can be made of metal with useful biological activity, for example, of copper, nickel, iron, silver, chromium, gold, cobalt, vanadium, beryllium, platinum, palladium, strontium, tellurium, or of their alloys. . During a massage with the use of such a massage element, along with the mechanical action, there is a special effect on the patient’s body, due to the characteristic biological activity of this metal or alloy, as well as its rubbing into the skin, that is, the transfer of this or that trace element or trace elements into the patient’s body.

The metal additional massage element can be made with a two-layer coating applied on its final surface 85 (FIG. 20) with layers 86 and 87 of different metals with useful biological activity. During a massage with such a massage element, transfer occurs to the patient's body, mainly a trace element from the outer layer 87, and also due to diffusion from the inner layer 86 and the base 85 of the massage element.

The additional massage element (FIG. 21) can be made with a three-layer coating applied on its final surface 88 with layers 89, 90, 91 of different metals with useful biological activity, with the surface 88 exposed from the layers 89, 90, 91 of the coating on top 92 with access to the surface of each of these layers. Since the surface 88 and the layers 89, 90, 91 of the coating are made of materials with different electrochemical potentials, galvanic microcurrents arise between the base 88 and each of the layers 89, 90, 91, as well as between the individual layers of the coating in the tissue of the massage zone of the patient's body. This is due to the fact that the base 88 and the layers 89, 90, 91 perform the functions of electrodes, and the liquid in the patient's epidermis the function of the electrolyte. The presence of these galvanic microcurrents causes the electrical effect of the surface 88 on the massaged area of the patient's body and intensifies the transfer of trace elements from the base 88 and the layers 89, 90, 91 of the coating to the patient's body.

Additional massage element (Fig. 22) can be made with the base 93, for example, steel, and also applied on its top layer 94 of the coating of rare or precious metal. When massaging with such a massage element, the base 93 and the coating layer 94 are in contact with the massage zone, which provides galvanic microcurrents in the tissue of the massage zone between the base 93 and the layer 94, as well as the transfer of microelements from the base 93 and the coating layer 94, reinforced by these microcurrents.

Additional massage elements of any of the above-described shapes and sizes can be made from natural bodies with useful biological activity in the raw state. Such natural bodies can be amber, minerals, in particular jade, malachite, precious and semiprecious stones. Natural bodies can also be used in the treated state. Each type of natural body has its own structure and properties, in particular, weak radiation, as well as its own positive energy, which in a special way affects the patient's body. In addition, massage with natural bodies provides for the transfer of useful trace elements to the patient's body.

Additional massage elements can be made of wood of different species. The use of such massage elements is especially useful because wood has a cellular structure and is tropic in its energy and composition to living organisms.

Materials that are soft and / or hard-to-cut, as well as precious and rare, are preferably used in additional massage elements, which consist of a holder made of metal or plastic and an insert made of such material fixed in it. For example, an additional massage element may consist of a holder 95 made of metal or plastic with a threaded shank 96 and a wood insert 97 fixed in the holder 93 (FIG. 23), a insert 98 in the form of a permanent magnet (FIG. 24), or an insert 99 of natural body in the raw state (Fig. 25). This provides the ability to use fragile, soft and hard-to-process materials, as well as saving precious and rare materials.

In this case, the insert can be made with a hole 100 (FIG. 26), through which a screw 101 with a head 102 is threaded, screwed into a threaded hole 103 in the holder 95. This increases the reliability of fixing the insert in the holder 95 and, in addition, provides an additional galvanic and microelement effect of the head 102 of the screw 101, if it is made of metal and, moreover, coated, especially of precious or rare material.

The spherical insert 104 (FIG. 27), for example, in the form of a permanent magnet, is mounted in the holder 105 with the possibility of free turning. For this, the insert 104 is installed in the cavity of the holder 105 to a depth of more than half its diameter and fixed from falling out by a holding ring 106, which is placed between the insert 104 and the inner surface of the cavity of the holder 105 and glued with the outer surface to the inner surface of the holder 105. When the insert 104 moves along the massaged it rotates in the cavity of the holder 105, which ensures deformation of the tissue of the massage zone without friction between it and the insert 104, and also creates an effect of an alternating magnetic field on Kan massazhiruemoy zone.

The insert 104 may be made of wood, a natural body or a metal or alloy with useful biological activity.

Any of the above and partially shown in FIG. 20-27 additional massage elements, different in shape and size, made of metals or alloys with different coatings, made of wood, natural bodies with useful biological activity, can be fixed with their shank in the hole 24 of the massager shown in FIG. 1, 2, or its hole on the shank in the protrusion in the place 17 of the connection of the holders, exercising its effect on the tissue of the zone being massaged, which is different from other massage elements. The choice of additional massage elements installed on the massager during the implementation of a massage method that involves many different massage regimes depends on the chosen massage modes, that is, the types of effects of massage elements, and the intensity of these effects, determined by the shape and size of the final the surfaces of these elements, the material from which they are made, and their useful biological activity.

Any of these additional massage elements can be fastened with its shank with a tension in the hole at the junction of the holders or with a hole directly in the massage element on the shank at 17, with the possibility of replacing it with another. This provides the simplest technology for the manufacture of additional massage elements, but it is not reliable enough, since high tension causes damage to the shanks or holes for them when replacing additional massage elements and their wear during these changes, and low tension does not sufficiently strong connection between the additional massage elements and the seat. holder connections.

A massager with one or another additional massage element attached to it is suitable for the implementation of massage methods that provide many different massage modes with the combined use of four massage elements to massage several areas of the patient’s body, since using only one massager, all these modes can be performed, fixing on the massager, an additional massage element necessary for a particular mode. The disadvantage of this massager is the need to replace the additional massage element with another for the implementation of each subsequent massage mode.

In addition, any additional massage element can be permanently attached to the massager by pressing its shank into the hole in the place of 17 connection of the holders or pressing it with a hole directly in the massage element onto the shank in place 17. This causes the simplest manufacture of the massager and reliable and simplest use, but excludes the possibility of replacing some additional massage elements with others that differ in shape, size, materials, and useful biological activity. This massager is suitable for the implementation of massage methods involving only one massage mode of the joint action of four massage elements, or for the implementation of massage methods involving several modes of joint action of the four massage elements, but in combination with other massagers.

The massager (Fig. 28) is made with a threaded hole 107 perpendicular to the massager working plane 9 at the junction of the holders 17 and perpendicular to the plane 9 threaded holes 108 in the massage heads 1, 2, 3, the same size as the hole 107. Any of the additional massage elements, for example, a massage element 109 with a cylindrical working tip, can be screwed in by a threaded shank 110 into a threaded hole 107 at the place 17 of the holder connection, and any three other additional massage elements from the same set and, for example, the massage elements 111, which are identical in shape and size with the massage element 107, can be screwed with the threaded shanks 112 into the holes 108 in the massage heads 1, 2, 3.

The set of additional massage elements attached to the massager consists of several groups, each of which contains several additional massage elements that are identical in shape, materials and biological activity, differing in their length and diameter of the final surfaces, and each group consists of several subgroups, each of which contains four completely identical massage elements. For each of the massage modes provided by a particular massage method, the corresponding additional massage elements from this kit are installed on the massage heads 1, 2, 3 and in place 17 of the holders connection. This gives many combinations of additional massage elements, working together in the working plane 9, and, as a result, allows you to implement a variety of massage methods and their prescribed modes.

The presence in the massager shown in FIG. 28 four identical additional massage elements provide a massage mode with the same type and intensity of effects of these elements on the tissue of the zone being massaged. To ensure the same types of effects of four massage elements, but with their different intensity, in the implementation of each of the massage modes on the massager, four massage elements of the same form and biological activity are established, differing from others only in size. For the implementation of other types of effects on the massaged area on the massager set massage elements that differ in shape (spherical, cylindrical, conical massage elements), materials and type of useful biological activity (massage elements made of different metals or alloys, with or without coating, from wood, natural bodies or in the form of permanent magnets). For the implementation of massage regimes with different effects of the four massage elements, they are installed in different combinations, in which each massage element or some of them differ from others in shape and / or size, and / or the materials from which they are made, and useful biological activity .

Any of these additional massage elements can be installed with a tension in the holes in the massage heads or in the place 17 of the connection of the holders or on the tails of the massage heads or on the protrusion in the place 17 with the possibility of their replacement by others.

A massager with four perpendicular to one working plane of the massager with additional massage elements that can be detachably attached to the massager is especially suitable for massaging methods that involve many different modes of joint action of four massage elements for massaging several areas of the patient’s body. these modes, fixing on the massager the additional massage elements necessary for a particular mode. The disadvantage of this massager is the need to replace additional massage elements with others for each subsequent massage regime, which complicates the massage process and requires a considerable amount of time.

In addition, any additional massage elements can be permanently attached to the massager by pressing them into the holes in the heads or in the place 17 of the connection of the holders or press-fitting onto the shanks of the massage heads or the protrusion in place 17. This eliminates the possibility of replacing some additional massage elements with different ones shape, size, materials, useful biological activity. This massager is suitable for the implementation of massage methods that provide only one mode of joint action of four massage elements, or methods involving several modes of joint action of four massage elements, but also using other massagers.

A connecting element 113 (FIG. 29) consisting of four interconnected ends of the same-sized metal tubes 114 with the same internal thread 115, each of these tubes perpendicular to one of the working planes of the tumbler 9, 10, can be embedded inside the joint-holding point 17. , 11, 12. The massager is equipped with a set of additional massage elements that differ in the geometrical shape and / or size, and / or materials from which they are made, and, thus, useful biological activity. Yu. The implementation of the massager with the connecting element 113 allows you to fasten four additional massage element without weakening the place 17 of the connection of the holders, because the material of this place covers the connecting element 113 with the clutch with all its surfaces. For example, from the set of additional massage elements on the massager, shown in FIG. 30, 31 spherical element 116 perpendicular to the working plane 9 of the massager, conical element 117 perpendicular to the working plane 10 of the massager, spherical element 118 perpendicular to the working plane 11 of the massager, and a cylindrical element 119 perpendicular to the working plane 12 of the massager. Additional massage elements 116, 117, 118, 119 are made with the same threaded tips 120, with which they are screwed into the tube 114.

The end surface of the massage element 116 (Fig. 30) is located relative to the working plane 9 of the massager on the same level as the end surfaces of the massage heads 1, 2, 3, therefore all four massage elements 116, 1, 2, 3 go deep into the tissue of a relatively flat massaged area the same value, which creates a regime with different effects of massage elements on the tissue of the zone being massaged.

Massage element 117 (Fig. 31) is located with a protrusion behind the working plane 10 of the massager and therefore more deeply penetrates into the tissue of the flat massaged area than the heads 1, 2, 4, which creates a regime with different effects of the massage elements on the fabric of the massaged area.

Massage element 118 (Fig. 30, 31) is located above the working plane 11 of the massager at a considerable distance from it, and therefore, when massaging relatively flat areas of a large surface, it does not touch the massaged zone, but only serves as the center of the energy field formed by four massage elements. In the working plane 11 of the massager, thus, a purely mechanical action is performed by only three massage elements - heads 1, 3, 4. When massaging the rounded body parts of the patient, the massage element

118 goes deep into the tissue of the massage zone less than the heads 1, 3, 4.

Massage element 119 (Fig. 30, 31) is located above the working plane 12 of the massager at a shorter distance from it than the massage element 118, and therefore, when massaging relatively flat areas of a large surface, it goes deeper into the tissue of the massage zone, but less than the heads 2, 3, 4, or only applies to the massage zone and, moreover, serves as the center of the energy field formed by four massage elements 2, 3, 4, 119. When massaging the patient's rounded body parts, the massage element

119 goes deep into the tissue of the massage zone by approximately the same amount as the heads 2, 3, 4.

The massager (Fig. 32, 33) is made with four protrusions 121 in place 17 of the connection of the holders, perpendicular to the respective working planes 9, 10, 11, 12 of the massager and made with the same shank 122. The massager is equipped with a set of additional massage elements, of which, for example, massage elements 123, 124,

125, 126 are installed on the massager. Like all other massage elements from the kit, they are made with the same blind holes 127, which are attached to the shanks 122 on the protrusions 121. The shanks 122 and blind holes 127 in the additional massage elements 123, 124, 125, 126 can be threaded or smooth ( without thread), with these massage elements screwed threaded holes 127 on the threaded shanks 122 or set smooth holes 127 on smooth shanks 122 with the possibility of removing them from the shanks 122 to replace others.

A massager with four perpendicular four working planes of the massager with additional massage elements that can be detachably attached to the massager is particularly suitable for the implementation of massage methods that provide many different modes of joint action of four massage elements for massaging several areas of the patient’s body, if this massager fixes on it some additional massage elements, you can realize one series of massage modes without replacing them with others, and when fixing the others - to perform tions subsequent series etc. This allows the use of one massager for the implementation of all massage modes provided by the massage method, while reducing the number of replacements for additional massage elements fixed in the holder connection point 17, as compared to the massager shown in FIG. 28

Additional massage elements 123, 124, 125, 126 can be pressed on with their smooth holes 127 on smooth shanks 122 in the projections 121 in the place 17 of the connection of the holders with the formation of permanent connection to the massager. This massager is suitable for the implementation of massage methods that provide only four modes of joint action of four massage elements, or methods that provide multiple modes of joint action of four massage elements, but in combination with other massagers. For example, the following additional massage elements may be permanently installed on the massager (Fig. 32, 33): massage element 123 in the form of a holder 128 with an insert 129 made of amber or any mineral with useful biological activity pressed into it, massage element 124 in the form of the holder 130 with wood insert 131 pressed into it; a cylindrical massage element 125 coated with a coating of precious or rare metal, such as gold, silver or zirconium, applied to the top of its final surface. This massager is suitable for the implementation of specific massage methods that provide effects on the tissue of the massaged area not only by mechanical actions, but also by the specific energy effects of natural bodies with useful biological activity, magnetic fields, microcurrents, electrophoresis.

The massager can be made with a connecting element 133 (Fig. 34), consisting of connected by the ends of two tubes 134 and 135 with an internal thread perpendicular to the working planes 9 and 11 of the massager. A set of additional massage elements consisting of several groups is given to the massager, each of which contains several massage elements, the final surfaces of the same shape, the materials from which they are made, and the biological activity, but different in their length and diameter of these surfaces. For each of the massage modes envisaged by the massage method used, appropriate additional massage elements from this set are installed in place 17 of the holder connection, for example, a spherical element 136 screwed with a threaded shank 137 into the tube 134, and a cylindrical element 138 screwed into the threaded shank 139 into the tube 135 This provides a multitude of massage modes for the combined action of the four massage elements, but requires their repeated replacement.

The massager can be made with three additional massage elements detachably or non-detachably attached to it at the junction of the holders. This provides three different modes of joint action of the four massage elements (with the permanent connection of additional massage elements) or reduces the number of replacements of additional massage elements during transitions from one massage mode to another (with separate connection of additional massage elements).

The massager (Fig. 35, 36) is made with four perpendicular working planes 9, 10, 11, 12 of the massager with additional massage elements in the form of projections 140, 141, 142, 143 with rounded free ends. The protrusion 140 is made cylindrical, with a diameter approximately half as large as the diameters of the massage heads 1, 2, 3, and its end surface touches the working plane 9, i.e. it is flush with the heads 1, 2, 3 relative to the working plane 9. The protrusion 141 is made conical, and its end surface protrudes beyond the working plane 10 in the direction from the junction of the holders. The protrusion 142 is made cylindrical, with a diameter significantly smaller than that of the protrusion 140, and its final surface is located relative to the working plane 11 with an offset towards the junction joint 17 of the holders. The protrusion 143 is made in the form of a wide convexity of small height.

The end surface of the massage element 140 is located relative to the working plane 9 of the massager flush with the end surfaces of the massage heads 1, 2, 3, therefore all four massage elements 140, 1, 2, 3 go deeper into the tissue of the flat massage zone by the same amount. The working plane 9 thus formed is more preferable to carry out massage and self-massage of relatively flat areas with a large area, for example, wide muscles and large muscle groups, such as the widest back muscle, scapula muscles, large and small pectoral muscles.

Massage element 141 is located with a protrusion behind the working plane 10 of the massager and therefore during the massage it more deeply penetrates into the tissue of the flat massaged area than the heads 1, 2, 4, which creates a regime with different effects of the massage elements on the fabric of the massaged area.

Massage element 142 is located above the working plane 11 of the massager at an insignificant distance from it, and therefore, when massaging relatively flat areas of a large surface, it goes deeper into the tissue of the massage zone by a smaller amount than heads 2, 3, 4, or only touches the massage zone and In addition, it performs the function of the center of the energy field formed by four massage elements. When massaging the rounded body parts of the patient, the massage element 142 deepens into the tissue of the massage zone by approximately the same amount as the heads 2, 3, 4.

Massage element 143 is located above the working plane 12 of the massager at a considerable distance from it, and therefore, when massaging relatively flat areas of a large surface, it does not touch the massaged area and, therefore, performs only the function of the center of the energy field formed by the four massage elements. In the working plane 12 of the massager, thus, only three massage elements act - heads 1, 3, 4. When massaging the patient's rounded body parts, the massage element 143 less than the heads 1, 3, 4, goes deeper into the tissue of the massage zone.

This massager is suitable for the implementation of massage methods that provide only four modes of joint action of four massage elements, or methods that provide multiple modes of joint action of four massage elements, but in combination with other massagers. In addition, additional massage elements are made of the same material as the massager.

Preferably, some of the four additional massage elements are provided in the form of protrusions in the place 17 of the connection of the holders or are fixedly fixed there, and some are detachably fixed in the place 17. For example, three additional massage elements can be performed as in FIG. 35, 36, in the form of protrusions 140, 141, 142 in the place 17 of the connection of the holders, and the fourth massage element is detachably fixed in place 17 instead of the protrusion 143. The constant presence of additional massage elements 140, 141, 142 in the place 17 of the connection of the holders reduces the number of replacements for massage elements compared with the detachable fastening of them all, and the detachable fastening of the fourth massage element in place 17 provides all the necessary massage modes.

The massager with four massage heads of 1, 2, 3, 4 of the same diameter (Fig. 37, 38) is equipped in the place of 17 connection of the holders with three perpendicular working planes 10, 11, 12 with additional massage elements 145, 146, 147, with the massage element

145 is designed as a cylindrical protrusion with a rounded top, a massage element

146 - in the form of a spherical protrusion, and the massage element 147 - in the form of a conical protrusion with a rounded tip. The final surface of the massage element 145, that is, the surface in contact with the massage zone, is located with the working plane 10 touching the massager, the end surface of the massage element 146 is located away from the working plane 11 of the massager near the holder connection point 17, and the end surface of the massage element 147 is located projection from the working plane 12 of the massager in the direction from the junction of the holders. Each of the massage heads 1, 2, 4 is made with perpendicular working plane 10 of the massager with the same additional massage elements 148 in the form of cylindrical protrusions with end surfaces that are the same with the final surface of the massage element 145. Each of the massage heads 1, 3, 4 is made with perpendicular working plane 11 massager identical additional massage elements 149 in the form of spherical protrusions with end surfaces that are identical with the end surface of the massage element 146. Each of the massage heads 2, 3, 4 are made with perpendicular to the working plane 12 of the massager identical additional massage elements 150 in the form of conical protrusions with the end surfaces that are the same with the final surface of the massage element 147.

The massager works as follows.

Massage heads 1, 2, 3, 4 are used singly or in pairs, as was described earlier in describing the operation of the massager, while it is shown in FIG. 1, 2. When massaging with working plane 9, three massage heads 1, 2, 3 jointly act, which do not have protrusions perpendicular to the working plane 9. There is also no protrusion at the junction of the holders perpendicular to the 9 plane 9. The massage by the working plane 9 provides the softest massage mode. A significantly more rigid regime is provided by massage by the working plane 11, since spherical massage elements 149 contact heads 1, 3, 4, the diameter of which is significantly smaller than the diameter of heads 1, 3, 4, with the massaged area. Massage elements of relatively flat massage areas 146 in the place 17 of the junction of the holders, it slightly touches the zone being massaged or does not touch it at all, performing only the function of the center of the energy field formed by it and the heads 1, 3, 4. When massaging the rounded zones, all four massage elements go deep into the tissue of the zone being massaged. An even more rigid regime is provided by the use of the working plane 10, in which four cylindrical massage elements 145 and 148 are in contact with the massaged area, and the most rigid mode is provided by massage by the working plane 12, in which four conical massage elements 147 and 150 are in contact with the massaged area. from working planes 9, 10, 11, 12 provides modes with the same or almost the same effects of massage elements on the zone being massaged, but different in rigidity.

The described massager is suitable for the implementation of massage methods that provide only three modes of joint action of four massage elements, or methods that provide multiple modes of joint action of four massage elements, but in combination with other massagers. In addition, additional massage elements are made of the same material as the massager.

Additional massage elements 145, 146, 147 in the place 17 of the junction of the holders, as well as additional massage elements 148, 149, 150 on the massage heads 1, 2, 3 can be permanently fixed to the massager, which allows them to be made of different materials with different useful biological activity, expanding the range of massage regimes that can provide a massager with such additional massage elements.

Additional massage elements can be detachably fastened to the massager. This massager provides many combinations of four additional massage elements that work together in a working plane of 10, 11 or 12, so it is suitable for the implementation of massage methods that provide many different modes of joint action of four massage elements to massage several areas of the patient’s body, if this massager fixing on it some additional massage elements, you can implement one series of massage modes without replacing them with others, and when fixing others or replacing them with other parts massage elements - to perform the subsequent series, etc. This allows you to use a massager for massage modes, and with a decrease in the number of replacements of additional massage elements fixed in the place 17 of the holder connection and on the massage heads, compared to the massager shown in FIG. . 28. But this massager is inconvenient to use, because the additional massage elements 145, 146 and 147 interfere with the comfortable and durable grip of the massager with the user's fingers.

Preferably one part of additional elements, which, for example, are provided by each of the massage methods or used to massage several areas of the patient's body, to perform as protrusions in the place 17 of the junction of the holders and on the massage heads 1, 2, 3, 4 or fixedly fasten them there, and the other part of the detachable fasten in place 17 and on the massage heads. For example, you can perform perpendicular to the working planes 11 and 12 additional massage elements 146 and 147, as well as 149 and 150 in the form of projections in the place 17 of the connection of the holders on the massage heads 1, 2, 3, 4, respectively, and perpendicular to the working plane 10 massage element 145 and massage elements 148 detachably fasten in place 17 of the holders and on the massage heads 1, 2, 4. The constant presence of additional massage elements 146 and 147, as well as 149 and 150 in the place 17 of the holders and on the massage heads, respectively, reduces the number honors substitutions massage elements compared with releasable fastening them all, and releasable fastening massage elements 145 and 148 in the place 17 and the massage heads 1, 2, 3 provides all the required massage modes.

In a simpler form of execution of the massager with replaceable additional massage elements, massage heads 1, 2 are made (Fig. 39) with the same diameter larger than the diameter of the heads 3, 4. At the junction point 17 of the holders, there is a threaded shank 151 perpendicular to the working plane 9 of the massager , and in heads 1, 2, 3 - threaded shanks 152, identical with shanks 151, perpendicular to the same working plane 9 massager. A set of additional massage elements is attached to the massager, each of which is made with a blind threaded hole for screwing it onto the corresponding threaded shank 151 or 152.

The set of additional massage elements consists of several groups, each of which contains several identical in shape, materials of which they are made, and the biological activity of additional massage elements, different in their length and diameter in contacting surfaces with the area being massaged, each group consisting of several subgroups, each of which contains four completely identical massage elements. This creates an opportunity for each of the massage modes provided by any massage method to install on the massage heads 1, 2, 3 and in the place 17 of the junction of the holders the corresponding additional massage elements from this kit. From this set, in the place 17 of the junction of the holders, for example, a massage element 153 is fixed in the form of a holder 154 with a blind threaded hole 155, with which this element is screwed onto the shank 151, and a cavity in which a permanent magnet 156 is installed in the form of turning, fixed in the cavity of the holder 154 by the ring 157, which is glued by the outer surface to the inner surface of the cavity in the holder 154. A massage cylindrical metal element 158 with gold coating 159 is fixed on the massage head 1, for example or silver on top of the final surface and a blind threaded hole 155, with which the massage element 158 is screwed onto the shank 152 on the head 1. On the massage head 2 is fixed, for example, the massage element 160 is in the form of a holder 161 with a blind threaded hole 155, with which this element is screwed on the shank 152 on the head 2, and the insert 162 pressed into the cavity of the holder 161, for example, in the form of a pearl. On the massage head 3 is fixed, for example, a massage conic element 163, for example, of zirconium, with a blind threaded hole 155, with which this element is screwed onto the shank 152 on the head 3.

The massager works as follows.

For a part of the modes provided by the selected massage method, additional massage elements are screwed into the threaded holes 151 and 152 with threaded shanks. Heads 1, 2, 3, 4 are used singly for massage and self-massage of biologically active and pain points, as well as muscle groups located in hard-to-reach places. Massage heads provide the minimum deepening in fabric of the massaged zone. Heads 1-4 are also used in pairs. The use of pairs of heads 1 and 2 provides a mode with the same intensity effects of both heads on the zone being massaged, and the softest mode, since these heads have a maximum contact area with the tissue of the zone being massaged and therefore cause at least deformation of this fabric and stresses in it . A bit more rigid massage regimes, and also with the same effects of both heads on the zone being massaged, provides joint use of heads 3 and 4. Such joint use of pairs of massage heads is especially useful for a segmental massage of the spine and surrounding muscles. The combined use of pairs of massage heads 1 and 3, or 2 and 4, or 1 and 4 provides modes with different intensity effects of both heads on the zone being massaged.

When used together, the three heads of the massage work surfaces 10, 11, 12 provides a soft massage modes. More stringent modes, and with the combined effect of four massage elements, provides massage by the working plane 9 when attached to the heads 1, 2, 3 and in place 17 of the connection of the holders of additional massage elements with curvature radii smaller than the radii of curvature of the massage heads. If the massage method involves the use of modes in which, along with the mechanical actions of the massage elements, other types of effects should also be carried out, then on the heads 1, 2, 3, as well as in the place 17 of the holder's connection, additional massage elements are installed that are made of different materials and have different types of useful biological activity, and also differ in shape and / or size (massage elements made of different metals or alloys, with or without coating, of wood, are natural bodies or in the form of permanent magnets). For example, on the heads 1, 2, 3, the massage elements 158, 160, 163 are fixed, and in the place 17 of the holder's connection - the massage element 153. When massaged by the working plane 9 of the massager, additional massage elements 153, 158, 160, 163 along with the mechanical effect on the tissue of the zone being massaged also creates specific effects on it in accordance with its biological activity: the permanent magnet 156 in the massage element 153 rolls over the massaged zone, creating an effect on it by an alternating magnetic field, the massage element 158 creates a g alvanic microcurrents between the base element 158 and the coating 159, while there is also a transfer of trace elements from the base of the massage element 168 and the cover 169 to the tissue of the massage zone, the pearl 162 on the massage element 160 and the zirconium element 163 create an energy effect in accordance with their positive energy, at the same time, the transfer of corresponding trace elements to the tissue of the zone being massaged also takes place. Thus, the massage by the working plane 9 simultaneously provides four different mechanical and specific effects on the tissue of the massage zone.

A massager with a set of mutually secured in the openings 151 and 152 of various additional massage elements is equally versatile with respect to massage methods and modes, as shown in FIG. 1, 2, but, in contrast, the use of this massager for the implementation of massage methods involving many different modes, requires many replacements of massage elements.

Additional massage elements 153, 158, 160, 163 or any other elements can be permanently fixed in place 17 of the junction of the holders and on the massage heads 1, 2, 3. Such a massager is more simple to manufacture and use, but it can be used to exercise massage methods, providing for a significantly limited range of massage regimes, or for the implementation of massage methods with a wide range of massage regimes, but in combination with other massagers.

Thus, the proposed invention provides a wide range of forms for performing additional massage elements that are fixed or performed at the junction of the holders of massage heads, from simple projections to massage elements with inserts, from massage elements made of the same material as the massager, to massage elements with multi-layer coatings, as well as a variety of forms of massagers, from a massager with a single protrusion at the junction of the holders of massage heads to massagers with several detachable Freeze panes at the connection of holders and removably fixable at multiple massage heads additional massaging elements. All this allows massagers with different levels of complexity of design and manufacturing and, thus, cost, and with different levels of versatility with respect to different massage methods and modes from simple massagers, suitable for simple massage methods, providing a limited range of massage modes, to the most complex. massagers with sets of replaceable additional massage elements suitable for the implementation of any, the most complex massage methods, providing wide range of massage modes.
