Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is an apparatus for partial or total massage of the part of the human body situated below the head.
  • the invention relates to a massage device which causes in particular the displacement of bodily fluids from the part of the massed human body.
  • This massage technique has a number of drawbacks, however.
  • the object of the present invention is precisely an apparatus making it possible to vary, in a sequential and automatic manner, the level of a of density equal to or greater than one, around the part of the body to be massaged.
  • a massage has in particular the advantage of exerting a continuous pressure and proportional to the depth of immersion, on the part of the body which bathes in e liquid, which causes the displacement of bodily fluids (blood, lymph ...) towards the parts of the body located above the liquid.
  • the implementation of the device can be carried out by the patient himself who can thus directly control the variations in the level of the liquid and the speed of these variations as a function of the sensations perceived.
  • the liquid used can be water.
  • the use of a liquid with a density greater than one causes greater pressure on the part of the body submerged and, consequently, produces a deeper massage.
  • liquids with a density greater than one which can be used for carrying out the process
  • aqueous solutions of mineral salts or of organic compounds the density of which may vary from 1, (100% water) to the values given in the table which follows and which respectively correspond to the maximum solubility of the body at 20 ° C.
  • Body in solution Density of the solution (for maximum solubility at 20 ° C MgSO47H2O 1.75 Na Cl 1.20 Fe Cl36H2O 1.63 SO4Cu 5H2O 2.15 FRUCTROSE 1.34
  • the invention comprises at least one sealed enclosure under which is disposed a storage tank for the massage liquid, a hydraulic pump connected respectively between the storage tank and the massage enclosure by a suction pipe and a delivery pipe.
  • this device also includes a flexible pipe connecting the bottom of the enclosure and the top of the storage tank and comprising an upper part in inverted U which is positioned and held by a sliding support on a rod and which fixes the maximum permissible height of the liquid in the message enclosure and automatically empties said enclosure as soon as said liquid level is reached.
  • the device as characterized above has the particular advantage of being able to easily and immediately control the rhythm of the massage, as well as the size of the massed surface.
  • the variation in the level of the liquid is generated by the action of a rotational movement or an alternative translational movement of the feet and / or hands of the patient.
  • a rotational movement or an alternative translational movement of the feet and / or hands of the patient increases the efficiency of the massage process.
  • the wall of the sealed enclosure further comprises on its inner face means for separating the space formed between the wall of the enclosure and the patient's body, in at least two compartments superimposed can be supplied separately with massage liquid.
  • the massage liquid fills one or the other of these rings, they are pressed respectively against the inner face of the wall of the enclosure and the patient's body, ensuring a good seal.
  • the hydraulic pump 5 comprises two outlet pipes: a pipe 20 which allows the complete filling of the enclosure 1 from the bottom of said enclosure and a conduit 21 which allows filling only the compartment 9a located above the ring 11.
  • the sealed enclosure 1 is provided with a "footrest" tray 13 and a seat 14 slightly inclined forward so that the angle between the patient's lower limbs and the vertical is always less than a right angle, which facilitates the movement of body fluids up the body.
  • FIGS 2 and 3 there are shown two other alternative embodiments of the device, more particularly suitable for massaging the lower limbs of the human body.
  • the rise in the level of the liquid in the enclosure 1 is obtained by means of means driven by the action of the rotational movement or the reciprocating translational movement of the feet of the patient.
  • these means consist of a centrifugal pump 5, the toothed wheel 32 of the drive shaft 33 of which is meshed with the toothed wheel 31a of a crankset 30 fixed on the bottom the of enclosure 1 via a support 31.
  • the massage device comprises a reservoir 2 of the liquid 3 into which the vacuum cleaner duct 4 plunges, fitted with a non-return valve 6.
  • this reservoir 2 can be equipped with a filling funnel 35 and a drain valve 36.
  • these means for raising the level of the liquid in the enclosure 1 are constituted by two suction-discharge pumps 40 placed in the tank 2 and the pedals 41 of which open above the floor (1a ) of the enclosure 1.
  • these pumps are provided with non-return valves 6 and include a cylinder 42 in which a piston 43 is fixedly secured to the pedal 41 and whose return movement is obtained by a spring 44 .
  • the enclosure ( 1) the device is provided with a seat (14).
  • the skin is not directly in contact with the massage liquid, which can be easily avoided by coating the part of the body to be massaged. with a sheath or a combination of flexible material and very thin.
