Description

La présente invention a pour objet appareil de sti­mulation de la peau ou dermoactivateur.The subject of the present invention is an apparatus for stimulating the skin or a dermoactivator.

Par ses dimensions, il peut être spécialement adapté au massage facial.By its dimensions, it can be specially adapted for facial massage.

Son utilisation permet d'augmenter la microcirculation sanguine et assure une gymno-stimulation des muscles. Ledit appareil, utilisé avec certains produits cosmétiques, en renforce l'activité. Il prépare la peau à recevoir desdits produits cosmétiques, il en facilite la pénetration et la diffusion.Its use increases blood microcirculation and provides muscle-stimulation of the muscles. Said device, used with certain cosmetic products, strengthens its activity. It prepares the skin to receive said cosmetic products, it facilitates penetration and distribution.

Des dispositifs de massage, notamment facial, sont déjà connus. L'un d'entre eux est décrit dans la demande de brevet FR 2 523 439. Il est consituté d'un manche et d'une plaque, articulée sur le manche, pourvue d'ouvertures circulaires, dans lesquelles sont disposées des billes, qui peuvent tourner librement dans toutes les directions. Lesdites billes sont proéminentes sur les deux faces de la plaque. Il existe de nombreux dispositifs de ce type utilisant des billes.Massage devices, especially facial, are already known. One of them is described in patent application FR 2 523 439. It consists of a handle and a plate, articulated on the handle, provided with circular openings, in which balls are arranged, which can rotate freely in all directions. Said balls are prominent on both sides of the plate. There are many devices of this type using balls.

Un autre type de dispositif de massage est constitué d'un rouleau tournant librement autour d'un axe, monté sur un manche. Ledit rouleau est revêtu de picots coniques caoutchouteux.Another type of massage device consists of a roller freely rotating around an axis, mounted on a handle. Said roller is coated with rubbery conical pins.

Selon l'invention, on a mis au point un dispositif de massage ne meurtrissant pas la peau et la stimulant toutefois de manière conséquente.According to the invention, a massage device has been developed which does not bruise the skin and which nevertheless stimulates it considerably.

Ledit appareil de stimulation selon l'invention comporte un manche et un rouleau, monté sur un axe central, adapté sur ledit manche. Il est caractérisé en ce que le rouleau est une gaine en une matière souple, enveloppant ledit axe central, hérissée radialement de tentacules au bout desquels se trouvent des sphères et en ce que le manche est agencé de telle façon que ses rebords opposent une légère résistance à la rotation libre dudit rouleau.Said stimulation device according to the invention comprises a handle and a roller, mounted on a central axis, adapted on said handle. It is characterized in that the roller is a sheath in a flexible material, enveloping said central axis, bristling radially with tentacles at the end of which there are spheres and in that the handle is arranged in such a way that its edges oppose a slight resistance to the free rotation of said roller.

En vue de l'optimisation de l'efficacité du massage, la Demanderesse a mis au point un type de rouleau nouveau. Il est carac­térisé par sa forme et sa consistance. Il est avant tout réalisé en une matière souple.In order to optimize the effectiveness of the massage, the Applicant has developed a new type of roller. It is characterized by its shape and consistency. It is above all made of a flexible material.

Ce caractère de souplesse du rouleau est accentué, ren­forcé par la forme spécifique des proéminences qu'il comporte. Il s'agit de petites sphères au bout de tentacules. Cette intervention des tentacules assure une flexibilité aux "picots" dudit rouleau, ladite flexibilité etant d'autant plus conséquente que la matière utilisée est plus souple.This flexibility of the roller is accentuated, reinforced by the specific shape of the prominences it contains. These are small spheres at the end of tentacles. This intervention of the tentacles provides flexibility to the "pins" of said roller, said flexibility being all the more consequent the more flexible the material used.

On utilise de préférence, selon l'invention, comme maté­riau pour ledit rouleau, un caoutchouc thermoplastique.According to the invention, a thermoplastic rubber is preferably used as the material for said roller.

Avantageusement, des matériaux commercialisés sous la marque 'FERVANFLEX" sont utilisés. Lesdits matériaux combinent à la fois les propriétés du caoutchouc et les caractéristiques de mise en oeuvre des matières thermoplastiques. Il s'agit de copolymères polystyrène-polybutadiène ou polyisoprène.Advantageously, materials sold under the brand name "FERVANFLEX" are used. Said materials combine both the properties of rubber and the processing characteristics of thermoplastic materials. They are polystyrene-polybutadiene or polyisoprene copolymers.

L'efficacité du massage est également lié à l'agencement spécifique du rouleau par rapport au manche. Ledit manche possède des rebords qui opposent une légère résistance à la rotation libre dudit rouleau. Lesdits rebords font un léger obstacle à cette rotation libre autour de l'axe central ; ils constituent une butée. Ainsi, lors de l'utilisation de l'appareil selon l'invention, la rotation du rou­leau au contact de la peau se fait par une série de petits à-coups successifs. Ces à-coups constituent des coups de fouet stimulateurs des muscles et de la circulation sanguine.The effectiveness of the massage is also linked to the specific arrangement of the roller relative to the handle. Said handle has flanges which offer slight resistance to the free rotation of said roller. Said flanges make a slight obstacle to this free rotation around the central axis; they constitute a stop. Thus, when using the device according to the invention, the rotation of the roller in contact with the skin takes place by a series of small successive jerks. These jolts constitute lashes which stimulate muscles and blood circulation.

Le rouleau peut être adapté sur le manche de diverses manières connues, notamment par encliquetage.The roller can be adapted to the handle in various known ways, in particular by snap-fastening.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférée, l'appareil de stimulation selon l'invention comporte un rouleau constitué de plu­sieurs rondelles, disposées à la suite l'une de l'autre sur l'axe central. Lesdites rondelles constituent la gaine dudit axe. Elles comportent, chacune, sur leur épaisseur les tentacules portant les sphères, lesdites tentacules étant disposées radialement.According to a preferred embodiment, the stimulation device according to the invention comprises a roller made up of several washers, arranged one after the other on the central axis. Said washers constitute the sheath of said axis. They each have, on their thickness, the tentacles carrying the spheres, said tentacles being arranged radially.

Les tentacules peuvent être distribuées de façon aléa­toire sur le rouleau de l'appareil de stimulation selon l'invention. Elles se trouvent généralement, principalement pour des raisons d'ésthétique, alignées selon les génératrices dudit rouleau.The tentacles can be distributed randomly on the roller of the stimulation device according to the invention. They are generally, mainly for aesthetic reasons, aligned according to the generatrices of said roller.

Selon d'autres formes de réalisation préférées, le rouleau de l'appareil selon l'invention est stabilisé sur l'axe entre deux rondelles, dites rondelles de frottement et/ou il est monté sur un axe cyclindrique, comportant un méplat. Dans ce cas, ledit rouleau ou les rondelles le constituant ont leur partie formant gaine sur ledit axe percée en conséquence. On stabilise ainsi le rou­leau sur son axe de rotation, il ne peut y avoir glissement. Il en résulte une disposition stable des tentacules et des sphères alignées selon les génératrices du rouleau.According to other preferred embodiments, the roller of the device according to the invention is stabilized on the axis between two washers, called friction washers and / or it is mounted on a cylindrical axis, comprising a flat. In this case, said roller or the washers constituting it have their part forming a sheath on said axis drilled accordingly. This stabilizes the roller on its axis of rotation, there can be no sliding. This results in a stable arrangement of the tentacles and spheres aligned along the generatrices of the roller.
