EA010820B1 - Massaging device - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to medicine, in particular, to massaging procedures. The invention aim is to speed up restoration of locomotor apparatus, especially under large training and competitive loads using multiplane mechanical influence on biologic tissues. The result is achieved by more deep, multiplane, purposeful massaging of pain zone due to two-frequency influence and allows quicker restoration of muscular tissues at apparent fatigue. For that the massaging device comprises massaging heads for massaging relaxed and prestressed large muscles. Their working surface has a screw profile as projections in the right and left direction of the screw line. A ledge is embodied at each head along the length the working screw zone with other, relative to wavy protrusion, screw line pitch both as coinciding with the wave direction of screw projection and counterdirected with the wave direction of screw projection. Ratio of the ledge pitch to the screw line pitch is from 0.1 to 0.5

Description

The invention relates to medical equipment, namely to massage technique.

The level of technology

A device for massage, containing massage nozzles, the working surface of which has a screw profile in the form of protrusions in the right and left direction of the screw line (ed. St. USSR number 1591980, 1988) is known.

The limitation of this device is its preferential purpose for therapeutic and general prophylactic massage.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

The task of the invention is the acceleration of the processes of recovery of the musculoskeletal system, especially with large training and competitive loads, using multiplane mechanical effects on biological tissue.

The proposed device allows for a deeper, multi-plane, targeted massage of the painful zones, due to the presence of a two-frequency effect and allows muscle tissues to recover more quickly with marked fatigue. This is especially important for top performance sports and professional sports, for carrying out muscle massage between fights of martial arts and between attempts at competitions. At any rate of rolling of the proposed massager on biological tissue (skin, muscle tissue, fatty tissue), the dual-frequency range of mechanical three-plane effects on the massaged tissues is achieved, including when combining unidirectional and opposite phases of exposure.

For this, the proposed device for massage of relaxed and pre-stressed large muscles contains massage nozzles. Their working surface has a screw profile in the form of protrusions in the right and left direction of the helix. The device differs in that on each of the nozzles along the entire length of the working screw zone a flange is made with a pitch of the helix different with respect to the undulating protrusion, including both coinciding with the direction of the screw protrusion wave and the oppositely directed screw protrusion wave.

The ratio of the pitch of the flange to the pitch of the helix is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 0.5, and the two massage nozzles are predominantly separated by a sleeve and have handles on both sides.

For partial automation of the choice of control and application of recommended modes of massage procedures (first of all, speed and force of rolling pressure), the device can have an integrated sensor for preliminary determination of the elastic-viscous properties of massaged tissues.

For a deeper effect on the massaged zone, the device has the possibility, due to a temporarily mounted spike, of a deeper effect on the massaged tissues for the purpose of a point effect on the zones of greatest sensitivity.

To expand the functional characteristics, the device can also be equipped with a regulator of dosed pressure on biological tissues, generators of thermal, shock, vibration, magnetic, electrical, chemical, vacuum and laser effects, as well as dispensers of medicamentous, perfume and phytoadditives.

List of drawings

FIG. 1 is a side view of the device;

FIG. 2 - implemented in the device superimposed lines of the profiles of the screw protrusion and flange. The implementation of the invention

In the drawings, the positions denote 1 - massage nozzles; 2 - screw protrusions and lines of their profiles; 3 - flanges and lines of their profiles.

The massager provides a two-frequency (in the frequency range from 0.1 to 0.5, depending on the specific ratio of the steps of the protrusion and the flange) mechanical three-plane effects on the massaged tissue, including both when combining unidirectional and opposite phases of exposure.

The device works as follows.

The massager smoothly lowered nozzles 1 on the massaged part of the body, supporting it by the handles. The tops of the wave protrusions 2 and the flanges 3 with controlled speeds and pressure move along the axes of the nozzles 1 and provide for the grinding and kneading of the selected part of the muscular-ligamentous apparatus.

Compared with the prototype, the presence of the flanges gives the following important additional massage effect.

By changing the direction of rotation of the nozzles and the direction of twisting of the screw lines of the projections and flanges, the direction of mechanical action is changed. Enough local pressure on the massaged areas is created by the fact that the nozzles are in contact with the areas not over the entire surface, but only at the vertices of the screw lines of the projections and flanges.

The specifics of the work of the massager with optional additives

For partial automation of the choice of control and application of the recommended modes of massage procedures (first of all, the speed and force of rolling pressure), the device may have a built-in

- 1 010820 sensor for the preliminary determination of the viscoelastic properties of massaged tissues.

To partially automate the process of massage based on biofeedback, the device can have a simultaneous point, deeper effect on the massaged tissues to affect the zones of greatest sensitivity.

To expand the functional characteristics, the device can also be equipped with a regulator of dosed pressure on biological tissues, a generator of thermal effects, shock, vibration, magnetic, electrical, chemical, vacuum and laser effects, as well as a dispenser of medicamentous, perfume and phytoadditives.
