Abstract

A massage belt is disclosed comprising a peripheral, closed profile member formed of a resilient material deining a rim. Wire rails or rods extend transversely between the longitudinal portions of the profile member and at least three rectangular blocks of wood rotatably mounted on each wire rail. Each block of wood includes a bore for passing the wire rail therethrough. This bore defines an angle alpha of between 2 DEG and 25 DEG relative to one of the three mutually perpendicular axes of the block.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Massagegürtel mit einem, den Rand bildenden, umlaufenden, geschlossenen Profil aus elastischem Material, wobei quer zwischen den Längswänden Drahtstege verlaufen, auf denen mindestens ein länglicher Holzklotz rotierbar aufgesteckt ist.The invention relates to a massage belt with a peripheral, closed, closed profile made of elastic material, wire webs running transversely between the longitudinal walls, on which at least one elongated wooden block is rotatably attached.

Für die Selbstmassage von Muskelverspannungen, insbesondere im Schulter- und Rückenbereich, sind handgeführte Massagegeräte bekannt, die etwa die Form eines Gürtels aufweisen. Dieser Gürtel wird mit mehr oder weniger großem Andruck über die betreffenden Körperpartien hin und her bewegt und übt dabei eine Massagewirkung aus. Diese wird entweder durch eine gewisse Oberflächenrauhheit des Gürtels oder durch an diesem angebrachte, drehbare Klötzchen hervorgerufen. Bei einem bekannten Massagegürtel der letztgenannten Art wird der Rand aus einem umlaufenden, elastischen, geschlossenen Profil gebildet. Quer zum Rand verlaufen von einer Seite zur anderen Drahtstege, auf denen zwei längliche Holzklötze drehbar aufgesteckt sind.For the self-massage of muscle tension, especially in the shoulder and back area, hand-held massage devices are known, which have approximately the shape of a belt. This belt is moved back and forth with more or less great pressure over the relevant parts of the body and has a massage effect. This is caused either by a certain surface roughness of the belt or by rotatable blocks attached to it. In a known massage belt of the latter type, the edge is formed from a circumferential, elastic, closed profile. Crossing the edge from one side to the other wire webs, on which two elongated wooden blocks are rotatably attached.

Ein derartiger Massagegürtel erzielt zwar schon eine Massagewirkung, weist jedoch noch einige Nachteile auf. Dadurch, daß auf jeden quer verlaufenden Drahtsteg nur ein oder zwei Holzklötze aufgesteckt sind, wird ein relativ großer Bereich der massierten Muskeloberfläche von einem einzelnen Klotz überdeckt. Infolge der großen Auflagefläche eines einzelnen Klotzes ist die auf den Muskel ausgeübte Kraft und damit die Massagewirkung relativ gering. Ein weiterer Nachteil ergibt sich daraus, daß die Holzklötze des bekannten Massagegürtels alle in derselben Richtung für die Aufnahme des Drahtsteges durchbohrt sind. Dies führt dazu, daß bei der Bewegung des Gürtels über den Körper eine fast gleichförmige Kraft ohne größere Variationen auf den Muskel ausgeübt wird. Wesentlich für eine gute Wirkung einer Massage ist aber der deutliche Wechsel von Ausübung und Zurücknahme einer kleinflächigen Krafteinwirkung auf den Muskel.Although such a massage belt already has a massage effect, it still has some disadvantages. The fact that only one or two wooden blocks are plugged onto each transverse wire bridge creates a relatively large area of the massaged muscle surface covered by a single block. Due to the large contact surface of a single block, the force exerted on the muscle and thus the massage effect is relatively low. Another disadvantage arises from the fact that the wooden blocks of the known massage belt are all pierced in the same direction for receiving the wire web. This means that when the belt is moved across the body, an almost uniform force is exerted on the muscle without major variations. What is essential for a good effect of a massage is the clear alternation between exercising and taking back a small area of force on the muscle.

Es stellt sich daher die Aufgabe, einen Massagegürtel zu schaffen, der die oben genannten Nachteile vermeidet und insbesondere eine hohe Kraft auf den Muskel ausübt und gleichzeitig einen Wechsel von Ausübung und Zurücknahme der Kraft gewährleistet und der an unterschiedliche Anwendungen und Bedürfnisse des Anwenders hinsichtlich der Intensität der Massage anpaßbar ist.It is therefore the task of creating a massage belt which avoids the disadvantages mentioned above and in particular exerts a high strength on the muscle and at the same time ensures a change in the exercise and reduction in strength and which is adapted to different applications and needs of the user with regard to the intensity is adaptable to the massage.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe geligt durch einen Massagegürtel mit einem, den Rand bildenden, umlaufenden, geschlossenen Profil aus elastischem Material, wobei quer zwischen den Längswänden Drahtstege verlaufen, auf denen mindestens ein länglicher Holzklotz rotierbar aufgesteckt ist, bei dem auf jedem Drahtsteg drei Holzklötze aufgesteckt sind.The solution to the problem is achieved by a massage belt with a circumferential, closed, closed profile made of elastic material, with wire webs running transversely between the longitudinal walls, on which at least one elongated wooden block is rotatably attached, with three wooden blocks being attached to each wire web .

Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß bei etwa unveränderter Gesamtbreite des Gürtelsgegenüber dem bekannten Gürtel die Auflagefläche der Holzklötze auf der Körper- bzw. Muskeloberfläche geringer und damit die auf den Muskel ausgeübte Kraft größer wird.This ensures that, with the overall width of the belt remaining unchanged compared to the known belt, the contact surface of the wooden blocks on the body or muscle surface is smaller, and thus the force exerted on the muscle is greater.

Ein weiterer Vorteil ergibt sich daraus, daß die Bohrungen eines Holzklotzes zum Hindurchführen des Drahtsteges gegenüber der Mittelachse des Klotzes einen Winkel « zwischen 2° und 250 aufweist und daß weiterhin die Öffnungen der Bohrungen zu den Ecken hin verlagert sind. Durch jede dieser Maßnahmen und insbesondere durch eine Kombination beider, d. h. diagonale und exzentrische Führung der Bohrungen, wird erreicht, daß bei einer Drehung der Klotz nicht nur abwechselnd mit einer flachen Seite oder einer Kante auf den Muskel trifft, sondern zudem eine Taumel- oder Trudelbewegung ausführt. Es wird dadurch ein wesentlich größerer Unterschied zwischen Kraftausübung und -zurücknahme erzielt, denn der Hub eines Klotzes, d. h. die Variation des Abstandes des während der Drehung dem Muskel gerade zugewandten Teils des Klotzes von seiner Drehachse, ist wesentlich größer. Da nunmehr nicht nur Flächen oder relativ lange Kanten des Klotzes auf den Muskel treffen, sondern auch Ecken des Klotzes, wird die Tiefenwirkung der Massage verbessert. Dies ist für eine Entspannung von verspannten Muskeln sehr wesentlich, denn eine oberflächennahe Einwirkung ist hier nicht ausreichend.Another advantage arises from the fact that the drilling gene of a block of wood for the passage of the wire web in relation to the central axis of the block has an angle "between 2 ° and 25 0, and that, furthermore, the openings of the holes are displaced towards the corners. Through each of these measures and in particular through a combination of both, ie diagonal and eccentric guidance of the bores, it is achieved that, when the block rotates, the muscle not only hits the muscle alternately with a flat side or an edge, but also a wobble or spin movement executes. This results in a much larger difference between exerting and withdrawing force, because the stroke of a block, ie the variation of the distance of the part of the block facing the muscle during rotation from its axis of rotation, is significantly larger. Since not only surfaces or relatively long edges of the block meet the muscle, but also corners of the block, the depth of the massage is improved. This is very important for the relaxation of tense muscles, because an action close to the surface is not sufficient here.

Um eine Anpassung an unterschiedliche Anwendungen und Bedürfnisse des Anwenders zu gewährleisten, weist der erfindungsgemäße Massagegürtel in weiteren Ausführungen Klötze mit einem Bohrungswinkel d auf, der zwischen 6 und 20°, zwischen 10 und 160 oder bei etwa 13 liegt. Durch eine derartige Abstufung des Winkels α ist der Massagegürtel in seiner Wirkungsintensität ausreichend variabel und für unterschiedliche Anwendungen und Anwender anpaßbar, denn eine Verringerung der Winkelbandbreite auf im Extremfall etwa Null, führt zu einer Verringerung des Unterschiedes zwischen Kraftausübung und -zurücknahme am Muskel und damit zu einer sanfteren Massage.In order to ensure adaptation to different applications and needs of the user, the massage belt according to the invention has, in further versions, blocks with a bore angle d which is between 6 and 20 °, between 10 and 160 or around 13. By such a gradation of the angle α, the intensity of the massage belt is sufficiently variable and adaptable to different applications and users, because a reduction in the angular bandwidth to approximately zero in extreme cases leads to a reduction in the difference between the exertion and withdrawal of force on the muscle and thus to a gentler massage.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform des Massagegürtels weist in einer Reihe, d. h. auf einem Drahtsteg, Klötze mit gleicher Größe des Winkels o( auf, wobei besonders vorteilhaft der Winkel α von auf nebeneinander liegenden Drahtstegen (1) aufgesteckten Klötzen(2) unterschiedlich ist. Durch diese Anordnung wird der Wechsel von Kraftausübung und -zurücknahme nicht nur in der zeitlichen Abfolge während der Rollbewegung der Klötze erreicht, sondern auch räumlich über die Länge des Gürtels verteilt. Diese Ausführung des Massagegürtels erlaubt dem Benutzer außerdem, durch entsprechendes Verschieben des Gürtels die Massage mehr mit kleinwinkligen oder mehr mit großwinkligen Klötzen durchzuführen. Wegen der unterschiedlichen Winkel α ergibt sich eine unterschiedliche Intensität der Massage je nach Belieben des Anwenders.Another embodiment of the massage belt has in in a row, ie on a wire web, blocks with the same size of the angle o (where, particularly advantageously, the angle α differs from blocks (2) placed on adjacent wire webs (1). This arrangement enables the alternation of the application of force and Reduction not only achieved in the chronological order during the rolling movement of the blocks, but also spatially distributed over the length of the belt.This design of the massage belt also allows the user to carry out the massage by appropriately moving the belt more with small-angle or more with large-angle blocks. Because of the different angles α there is a different intensity of the massage depending on the user's preference.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung weist der Massagegürtel Klötze unterschiedlichen Durchmessers auf, d. h. die äußeren Flächen und Kanten laufen in größerem oder kleinerem Abstand von der Drehachse um. Sinnvoll haben dabei auf einen Drahtsteg aufgesteckte Holzklötze einen etwa gleichen Durchmesser, aber einen anderen, als die Klötze auf benachbarten Drahtstegen. Hierdurch wird eine günstig auf den Muskel wirkende Abfolge von stärkerer und schwächerer Einwirkung erzielt.In a further advantageous embodiment, the massage belt has blocks of different diameters, ie. H. the outer surfaces and edges run at a greater or lesser distance from the axis of rotation. It makes sense to have wooden blocks placed on a wire web of approximately the same diameter, but different than the blocks on adjacent wire webs. As a result, a sequence of stronger and weaker effects which has a favorable effect on the muscle is achieved.

Die Länge der Drahtstege und damit der Abstand der gegenüberliegenden Teile des Randprofils ist so gewählt, daß eine gute Handhabung des Gürtels gegeben ist und daß sich die Holzklötze auf den Drahtstegen leicht drehen können.The length of the wire webs and thus the distance between the opposite parts of the edge profile is chosen so that good handling of the belt is given and that the wooden blocks can easily rotate on the wire webs.

Es ist somit ein Massagegürtel geschaffen, der in vielfältiger Weise an unterschiedliche Anwendungen und Anwender anpaßbar ist und eine gute Massagewirkung und vor allem Tiefenwirkung erzeilt, so daß von einer guten Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe gesprochen werden kann. Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Massagegürtels wird im folgenden anhand einer Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen im einzelnen:

  • Figur 1 einen Abschnitt des Massagegürtels in Ansicht und
  • Figur 2 einen Holzklotz mit darin angebrachter Bohrung im Schnitt.
A massage belt is thus created which can be adapted in various ways to different applications and users and which has a good massage effect and, above all, a deep effect, so that one can speak of a good solution to the task at hand. A preferred embodiment of the massage belt according to the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing. The individual shows:
  • Figure 1 shows a portion of the massage belt in view and
  • Figure 2 shows a block of wood with a bore made in it on average.

Wie Figur 1 zeigt, besteht der Massagegürtel im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel aus einem umlaufenden, hohlen Randprofil 3, das flexibel ist und die Enden 1' von Drahtstegen 1 aufnimmt. Auf die Drahtstege 1 aufgesteckt sind Holzklötze 2. Die Holzklötze 2 haben eine etwa quaderförmige Gestalt mit annähernd quadratischem Querschnitt senkrecht zu ihrer Längsachse 5. Wie insbesondere Figur 2 zeigt, weisen die Holzklötze 2 Bohrungen 4 auf, die unter einem Winkel d relativ zur Längsachse 5 des Klotzes 2 verlaufen und ein leichtgängiges Drehen der Klötze 2 auf den Drahtstegen 1 erlauben.As shown in FIG. 1, the massage belt in the illustrated embodiment consists of a circumferential, hollow edge profile 3, which is flexible and receives the ends 1 'of wire webs 1. Wooden blocks 2 are plugged onto the wire bridges 1. The wooden blocks 2 have an approximately cuboid shape with an approximately square cross section perpendicular to their longitudinal axis 5. As shown in particular in FIG. 2, the wooden blocks 2 have holes 4 which are at an angle d relative to the longitudinal axis 5 of the block 2 run and allow easy rotation of the blocks 2 on the wire webs 1.
