  • a simplified design effort results from the features of claim 9 and with respect to the drive through the features of claim 12.
  • a convenient handling of the device by the user is given by the features of claim 15, since the inclined surface of the upper part or the cover is adapted to the inclination of the foot of a user sitting on a chair.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a perspective, partially broken open view of a sole reflex zone massage device according to a preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention
  • Figure 2 shows a section along the line 11-11 in Figure
  • FIG. 4 shows a side view of the device according to FIG. 1.
  • the portable reflex zone massage device or device 60 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a housing 61 which consists of an upper part 62 designed as a lid and a matching lower part 63.
  • the housing 61 which is divided in an intermediate plane 58, has a substantially oblong, flat, cuboid shape, such that the upper side 65 of the upper part 62 preferably inclines by approximately 2 to 3 ° to the bottom surface.
  • the housing 61 On the front, ie less narrow end face, the housing 61 has a handle 64, which is molded in half on the upper part 62 and on the lower part 63.
  • the upper part 62 has on its upper side 65 a rectangular recess 66, inside of which a flexible cover 67 made of rubber, a plastic or a natural material is arranged and glued to the inside of the upper part 62 or attached in some other way.
  • the cover 67 has the image 68 of two soles of the feet arranged parallel to one another on its upper side.
  • a switch 69 and a control lamp 70 are also arranged in each of the recesses in an outer recess.
  • the upper part 62 is screwed onto the lower part 63, a circumferential rubber seal being interposed.
  • Upper part 62 and lower part 63 are together molded with the relevant handles from plastic.
  • Massage units 71, 72 have two parallel sprockets 78 to 79 encircling chains 73 and 74, the chain sprockets 76 and 77 or 78 and 79 of both massage units 71 and 72 being held in rotation on an axis 81 and 82, respectively.
  • the axes 81 and 82 are rotatably supported at their ends in a holder 83 and 84, which holder nane the longitudinal edge regions of the housing 61 and parallel to these and are arranged attached to the bottom 75.
  • the holders 83, 84 extend over the entire length of the massage unit 71, 72, i.e. from one axis 81 to the other axis 82.
  • a further sprocket 86 is rotatably arranged between the two inner sprockets 76, which is connected via a chain 87 to a drive sprocket 88, which is arranged non-rotatably on an output shaft 89 of a motor 90 is.
  • the electrical supply cable 91 for this drive motor 90 is executed through a hole 92 in the lower part 83 near the handle 84.
  • the chains 73 and 74 are so-called roller link chains and consist of plates 52, bolts 53, bushes, not shown here, and protective rollers 54 located between the plates 52 and pushed between the plates the revolving link chains 73 and 74 of each massage unit 71, 72 roller units 49, 49 'are provided, which are constructed from tubular struts 51, a plurality of massage rollers 56 and sleeve-shaped spacers 57 between the rollers 56.
  • rollers 56 Number of rollers 56 and their spacing from one another and from the adjacent revolving chains 73, 74.
  • three roller units 49 with three rollers 56 and three roller units 49 'with four rollers 56 are provided, the distance between the rollers 56 each being different.
  • Rollers which are freely rotatable on the struts 51 have a profile which is rounded in accordance with FIG.
  • the bolts 53 of the chain 73, 74 are provided with an extension 59 onto which the tubular strut 51 is attached and thus between two extensions 59 of the two opposing chains 73 and 74 are kept attached.
  • the sleeve-shaped spacers 57 which, for example, consist of a plastic tube section, are attached to the tubular strut 51.
  • Massagerol len 56 made of hard rubber or a hard plastic have such a diameter that they protrude beyond the upper contour of the Lascnen 52 of the chains 73, 74 and thus represent the massage points for the sole of the user.
  • Figures 1 and 2 also show that between the two massage units 71 and 72 in the transverse median plane of the device 60, a support cap 94 made of plastic, for example, is provided, which is fastened to the bottom 75 of the lower part 63 and over which the internal chains 73 of the two massage units 71 and 72 run.
  • the support cap 94 in the chain running direction has a rounded surface 95 and is laterally running and
  • the surface 95 of the support cap 94 is higher than the support surface formed by a separate plastic strip 97.
  • the holder 83, 84 lies in such a way that the upper run of the inner chains 73 in this central region 98 is convexly higher than that of the outer chains 74. In this way, the roller units 49, 49 ', 49 " during the circulating operation, as shown in Figure 2. This means an adaptation to the shape of the sole of the foot, and the last 97 is also provided with a running and guide rail 99 for the chain 73, 74 (FIG. 3).
  • the width of the support cap 94 can be adjusted, so that the height of the upper run of the inner chains 73 in its central region can be adjusted in relation to the upper run of the outer chains 74.
  • the lower run of the internal chains 73 can also be guided over a lower support cap, which is adjustable in the opposite direction to the upper support cap 94.
  • this can also be achieved in that one of the common axes 81 and 82 of the two massage units 71, 72 is adjustable in a horizontal direction.
  • it can also be advantageous, in a manner not shown, to pass the lower run of the outer chains 74 over a crest, so that the same chain length for the outer chain as in the inside chain can be provided, this top for the outside chains can also be adjustable in height or length.
  • a switch 69 is provided for switching on the device.
  • This switch 69 can be provided with a timer; it is also possible to provide this switch with a switching element for selectively setting the circulation speed of the massage units 71, 72.
  • This can, for example, in the form of a tap changer or through a separate slide switch arrangement are made possible.
  • the direction of rotation is according to the arrow A drawn there, i.e. against the direction of seating of the user, that is from the toes of the feet to the heel, as can also be seen from the foot image 68 on the cover 67.

Abstract

Le dispositif (60) ci-décrit comporte un boîtier (61) partiellement ouvert sur sa face supérieure (65), dont l'ouverture (66) est recouverte d'un revêtement élastique (67), et possède une unité de massage entraînée en rotation, pourvue de corps de massage et disposée au-dessous du revêtement. Afin d'adapter un tel dispositif (60) de manière idéale à la forme de la plante du pied et d'obtenir une efficacité accrue de massage, il est prévu pour chaque pied une unité de massage séparée (71, 72), lesquelles sont disposées parallèlement l'une par rapport à l'autre et présentent une configuration sensiblement identique. Chaque unité de massage (71, 72) comporte deux chaînes parallèles rotatives en sans fin (73, 74) entre lesquelles sont agencés des axes (51) répartis sur la périphérie des chaînes et pourvus de rouleaux de massage (56) espacés tournant en roue libre. Les chaînes intérieures (73) tournées l'une vers l'autre des deux unités de massage (71, 72) se soulèvent dans une région centrale de leur brin supérieur en passant sur une couronne d'appui (94).
