Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a massage device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a device is described in FR-A-963 012.
  • the foot of each connecting rod of this device is linked to a piston of a suction pump mounted on the housing and a suction cup communicates with the suction side of the pump.
  • Massage using this device consists of a rapid succession of aspirations.
  • each connecting rod being provided with a kneading claw and a beater pad.
  • the massage is based on physiological bases.
  • the massage worn on a metameric area has the effect of alleviating or eliminating the pain coming from the underlying viscera.
  • the vaso-motor disturbances of the skin caused by massage facilitate the underlying circulation.
  • Massage can also facilitate the absorption of interposition fluids.
  • the massage prepares the muscles for action, when it precedes an effort by attracting a greater quantity of blood and by heating them while a massage after the effort allows the relaxation and the softening of the musculature.
  • the massage performed by a person's hands is far more effective than that practiced by a device.
  • a massage device driven in principle by an electric device can only be used for one and sometimes two different manipulations.
  • Most massage devices, commonly called vibrators, are limited to applying vibrations to the human body. There are others which reproduce the other manipulations but not the pinching.
  • the manipulations applied by the hands of a masseur are rarely of a single kind, they are often compound manipulations which no massage device has, to date, allowed to achieve.
  • the present invention makes it possible to fill this gap by proposing a massage device reproducing as faithfully as possible the movement of the fingers of one hand during the massage.
  • the connecting rod feet arranged on either side of the plane perpendicular to the upper face of the housing and passing through the geometric axis of rotation of the crankshaft have a movement which can be broken down into a movement including a component is perpendicular to the plane of the face and which corresponds to a manipulation of kneading; the eccentric position of the crankshaft crank pins relative to the axis of rotation and the fact that the connecting rods are guided by the holes means that the connecting rod feet sometimes approach sometimes move away thereby applying a pinch.
  • the device is provided with at least two crankshafts and the arrangement of the connecting rod feet in plan view is staggered, which increases the pinching manipulation which is, moreover, a manipulation which is highly indicated for the treatment of cellulite.
  • crankshaft (s) As the rotation drive of the crankshaft (s) is preferably carried out by an electric motor which can work at high speed, it can reasonably be considered that the reciprocating movement of the connecting rods makes it possible to apply a vibratory massage.
  • the housing 1 is composed of two sliding parts 2 and 3.
  • the first part 2 has the shape of a U seen in profile whose ends 2a and 2b are slightly folded inwards.
  • the second part 3 has the shape of a U, seen in profile and it slides in the first part 2. This structure of the housing 1 is given by way of example and it can be completely different.
  • the upper face 3a of the part 3 is provided with four rows of holes 4 arranged in a concise fashion.
  • the center lines of two interposed rows of holes 4 are located on either side of the passing plane by the geometric axis of the corresponding crankshaft 7 or 8 and perpendicular to the face 3a of the housing, the two crankshafts 7 and 8 rest by the pins of their two ends on bearings 9, 10 respectively 11, 12 supported by the branches of the second U-shaped part 3 forming the housing 1.
  • the crankshaft drive device 7 and 8 can either be housed inside the housing or outside and in this case the two crankshafts extend to one side of the housing as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the connecting rods 5 have a shape cylindrical and their feet have a slightly conical lateral surface, their ends 5a being rounded.
  • the holes 4 have an elliptical shape.
  • the major axis of the ellipse is orthogonal to the geometric axis of rotation of crankshafts 7, 8 to allow a small movement in the direction of the major axis of the ellipse of the connecting rods which is essential to prevent them from jamming because from their inclined position relative to the plane of the face 3a and because of the circular movement to which the connecting rod heads 5 are constrained around 1 geometric axis of the respective crankshaft.
  • the position of the connecting rods in the three figures is not an extreme position but an intermediate position.
  • crankshafts both the number of connecting rods and of crankshafts can be increased according to the desired use of the device.
  • the drive of all the crankshafts can be ensured by an endless screw meshing with corresponding toothed wheels mounted on the crankshafts 7, 8.
  • the crankshafts can be driven in rotation in phase or not.
