Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un appareil perfectionné permettant de réaliser des opérations de massage de toutes les parties du corps.The present invention relates to an improved apparatus for performing massage operations on all parts of the body.
Diverses techniques de massage sont utilisées en fonction des traitements à réaliser. D'une manière générale, on peut dire que les opérations de massage impliquent d'exercer sur le patient des contraintes faisant appel à des phénomènes de pression et/ou déplacement et/ou pincement.Various massage techniques are used depending on the treatments to be performed. Generally speaking, it can be said that massage operations involve exerting constraints on the patient calling on pressure and / or displacement and / or pinching phenomena.
A ce jour, divers types de matériel ont été proposés pour faciliter le travail du masseur ainsi que cela ressort notamment du brevet suisse CH-A-168279, du brevet US-A-3 297 024. D'une manière générale, on peut dire que ces appareils permettent d'exercer sur le corps une action de pression, de déplacement, de friction par vibration, d'aspiration.. .To date, various types of equipment have been proposed to facilitate the work of the massager as is apparent in particular from Swiss patent CH-A-168279, from patent US-A-3,297,024. In general, it can be said that these devices make it possible to exert on the body an action of pressure, displacement, friction by vibration, aspiration.
Récemment, dans ces demandes de brevets français no 85 04 245 (publication 2 579 100) et 85.17 026 (publication 2 589 726), le Demandeur a proposé des appareils de massage perfectionnés qui permettent de réaliser de manière simple, efficace, des massages du type "palper-rouler" permettant d'exercer sur le patient une action continue provoquant non seulement un pincement localisé mais également un déplacement progressif de la zone pincée de manière à provoquer un "roulage" et ce, tout en exerçant une pression. D'une manière générale, les appareils décrits dans ces demandes de brevets sont constitués essentiellement de deux rouleaux montés sur un boitier selon des axes parallèles, la périphérie des rouleaux tangentant avec la face inférieure du boitier, l'un des rouleaux étant de préférence entraîné positivement en rotation, ledit boitier étant relié à des moyens permettant de créer une dépression au-dessus des rouleaux.Recently, in the French patent application No. 85 04245 (publication 2,579,100) and 85.17 026 (publication 2589726), the Applicant has proposed improved massage appliances that achieve a simple, effective, massages of the "palpate-roll" type allowing a continuous action to be exerted on the patient causing not only a localized pinching but also a progressive displacement of the pinched area so as to cause a "rolling" and this, while exerting pressure. In general, the devices described in these patent applications essentially consist of two rollers mounted on a housing along parallel axes, the periphery of the rollers tangent to the underside of the housing, one of the rollers being preferably driven positively in rotation, said housing being connected to means making it possible to create a depression above the rollers.
Afin d'assurer le pincement de la peau, ces rouleaux sont montés sur le boitier de manière à pouvoir être écartés et rapprochés l'un de l'autre pour assurer l'action de pincement sur le pli de peau formé.In order to ensure the pinching of the skin, these rollers are mounted on the casing so that they can be moved apart and brought closer to each other to ensure the pinching action on the fold of skin formed.
De tels appareils donnent de très bons résultats mais impliquent cependant la présence de moyens permettant d'assurer l'étanchéité lors des déplacements des rouleaux.Such devices give very good results but however imply the presence of means making it possible to ensure sealing when the rollers are moving.
Or on a trouvé, et c'est ce qui fait l'objet de la présente invention, un dispositif simplifié qui permet également de réaliser de tels massages et ce, sans avoir à écarter ou rapprocher les rouleaux de traitement et permettant donc d'éliminer tout moyen additionnel permettant d'assurer l'étanchéité tels que clapets, volets basculants.However, we have found, and this is what is the subject of the present invention, a simplified device which also makes it possible to carry out such massages, without having to spread or bring the treatment rollers together and therefore making it possible to eliminate any additional means ensuring sealing such as valves, tilting shutters.
Une telle solution est particulièrement adaptée pour la réalisation d'appareils de petites dimensions mais il est évident que cela n'est pas limitatif.Such a solution is particularly suitable for the production of devices of small dimensions, but it is obvious that this is not limiting.
D'une manière générale, l'invention concerne donc un perfectionnement apporté aux appareils de massage comportant, montés à l'intérieur d'un boitier actionnable manuellement, deux rouleaux parallèles montés libres en rotation, ledit boitier étant relié à des moyens permettant de créer une dépression au-dessus des rouleaux, et se caractérise en ce que :
- les deux rouleaux actifs sont montés à entraxe fixe entre deux parois parallèles prévues à la partie inférieure du boitier, ces deux parois définissant une chambre dont la hauteur est telle qu'elle correspond sensiblement au diamètre des rouleaux, de telle sorte que ces derniers viennent tangenter avec le fond de cette chambre, un léger jeu subsistant pour permettre leur rotation et, de préférence, débordent légèrement par rapport aux bords inférieurs desdites parois ;
- la dépression exercée à l'intérieur du boitier est obtenue par l'intermédiaire d'un conduit débouchant dans l'espace compris entre les rouleaux ; ledit conduit de section circulaire est de préférence évasé à son débouché à l'intérieur de la chambre.In general, the invention therefore relates to an improvement made to massage devices comprising, mounted inside a box which can be actuated manually, two parallel rollers mounted free in rotation, said box being connected to means making it possible to create a depression above the rollers, and is characterized in that:
- the two active rollers are mounted at center distance fixed between two parallel walls provided at the lower part of the case, these two walls defining a chamber whose height is such that it corresponds substantially to the diameter of the rollers, so that the latter come to tangent with the bottom of this chamber, a slight play remaining to allow their rotation and, preferably, slightly protrude with respect to the lower edges of said walls;
- The vacuum exerted inside the housing is obtained by means of a conduit opening into the space between the rollers; said circular section duct is preferably flared at its outlet inside the chamber.
Avantageusement, en pratique :
- la distance entre les rouleaux est sensiblement égale au diamètre de ces derniers ;
- lesdits rouleaux sont montés de manière amovible à l'intérieur de la chambre, afin de permettre le nettoyage ;
- l'ensemble boitier portant les rouleaux et poignée permettant d'actionner l'appareil est monobloc, le conduit d'aspiration prévu à l'intérieur de la poignée comportant à son extrémité un raccord permettant d'assurer la jonction de l'appareil avec toute source d'aspiration tel que par exemple embout d'un aspirateur conventionnel, source de vide prévue dans les hôpitaux... .Advantageously, in practice:
- The distance between the rollers is substantially equal to the diameter of the latter;
- Said rollers are removably mounted inside the chamber, to allow cleaning;
- the housing unit carrying the rollers and handle enabling the device to be actuated is in one piece, the suction duct provided inside the handle comprising at its end a connection making it possible to join the device with any suction source such as, for example, the tip of a conventional vacuum cleaner, vacuum source provided in hospitals, etc.
L'invention et les avantages qu'elle apporte seront cependant mieux compris grâce à l'exemple de réalisation donné ci-après à titre indicatif mais non limitatif et qui est illustré par les schémas annexés dans lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une vue en élévation d'un appareil conforme à l'invention ;
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe selon l'axe AA de la figure 1 montrant en détail la structure d'un appareil conforme à l'invention ;
- la figure 3 est une coupe selon l'axe BB de la figure 2 montrant la manière dont sont montés les rouleaux actifs à l'intérieur de la tête de traitement.The invention and the advantages which it brings will however be better understood thanks to the embodiment given below by way of indication but not limitation and which is illustrated by the appended diagrams in which:
- Figure 1 is an elevational view of an apparatus according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a sectional view along the axis AA of Figure 1 showing in detail the structure of an apparatus according to the invention;
- Figure 3 is a section along the axis BB of Figure 2 showing the manner in which the active rollers are mounted inside the treatment head.
Si l'on se reporte aux schémas annexés, l'appareil de massage conforme à l'invention se présente sous la forme d'un ensemble constitué essentiellement d'un boitier (ou tête) désigné par la référence générale (1) et sur lequel sont montés les rouleaux de traitement, ce boitier (1) étant prolongé par une poignée (2). Dans l'exemple illustré, le boitier (1) et la poignée (2) forment un ensemble monobloc et sont obtenus par exemple par moulage d'une matière plastique. Bien entendu, la poignée (2) pourrait être rapportée au boitier (1).If we refer to the attached diagrams, the massage device according to the invention is in the form of an assembly essentially consisting of a housing (or head) designated by the general reference (1) and on which the treatment rollers are mounted, this box (1) being extended by a handle (2). In the example illustrated, the housing (1) and the handle (2) form a one-piece assembly and are obtained for example by molding a plastic material. Of course, the handle (2) could be attached to the housing (1).
Conformément à l'invention, les rouleaux (3,4) sont montés à la base du boitier (1) à l'intérieur d'une chambre (5) formée par deux parois latérales (6,7), parallèles, et ce avec un entraxe E fixe, l'écartement entre les rouleaux (3,4) pouvant être adapté en fonction des zones à traiter mais étant en général sensiblement égal au diamètre desdits rouleaux. Le montage des rouleaux (3,4) à l'intérieur de la chambre (5) est réalisé de préférence de telle sorte qu'il puisse être monté et démonté facilement afin de pouvoir assurer le nettoyage de la tête de traitement. La vue de détail (figure 3) montre un mode de réalisation d'un tel montage amovible. Dans un tel mode de réalisation, le rouleau (3) (montage similaire pour le rouleau 4) est creux et son montage sur les deux parois (6,7) est réalisé au moyen d'axes (8,9) qui viennent s'encastrer dans des portées (10,11) prévues sur les parois (6,7), ces deux axes (8,9) étant soumis à l'action d'un ressort interne (12). Par suite, le rouleau (3) (ou 4) peut tourner librement à l'intérieur des portées (10,11). Lorsque l'on souhaite enlever les rouleaux, il suffit de repousser, par exemple au moyen d'une pince, les deux axes (8,9) l'un contre l'autre de manière à comprimer le ressort (12), ce qui permet de dégager l'ensemble. Une autre solution pour réaliser le montage des rouleaux (3,4) entre les deux parois latérales (6,7) consiste simplement à prévoir des gorges sur lesdites parois latérales permettant le passage des extrémités des axes des rouleaux, le maintien étant assuré au moyen de clips. Bien entendu, tout autre mode de montage équivalent pourrait être envisagé.According to the invention, the rollers (3,4) are mounted at the base of the housing (1) inside a chamber (5) formed by two side walls (6,7), parallel, and this with a fixed center distance E, the spacing between the rollers (3,4) being able to be adapted as a function of the areas to be treated but being generally substantially equal to the diameter of said rollers. The mounting of the rollers (3,4) inside the chamber (5) is preferably carried out so that it can be easily assembled and disassembled in order to be able to clean the treatment head. The detail view (Figure 3) shows an embodiment of such a removable assembly. In such an embodiment, the roller (3) (similar mounting for the roller 4) is hollow and its mounting on the two walls (6,7) is carried out by means of axes (8,9) which come embed in spans (10,11) provided on the walls (6,7), these two axes (8,9) being subjected to the action of an internal spring (12). As a result, the roller (3) (or 4) can rotate freely inside the seats (10,11). When it is desired to remove the rollers, it suffices to push, for example by means of pliers, the two axes (8, 9) one against the other so as to compress the spring (12), which allows to release the whole. Another solution for mounting the rollers (3,4) between the two side walls (6,7) is simply to provide grooves on said side walls allowing the passage of the ends of the axes of the rollers, the maintenance being provided by means clips. Of course, any other equivalent mounting method could be envisaged.
Les rouleaux (3,4) sont montés à l'intérieur de la chambre (5) de telle sorte que leur périphérie vienne tangenter avec la face interne (13) de la chambre, un léger jeu (de l'ordre de quelques centièmes de millimètres) étant cependant prévu pour que la rotation des rouleaux (3,4) puisse se faire librement. Par ailleurs, les deux rouleaux (3,4) débordent légèrement, de l'ordre de quelques dizièmes de millimètres, par rapport aux bords inférieurs (14,15) des parois latérales (6,7) de la chambre (5).The rollers (3,4) are mounted inside the chamber (5) so that their periphery comes to tangent with the internal face (13) of the chamber, a slight clearance (of the order of a few hundredths of millimeters) being however provided so that the rotation of the rollers (3,4) can be done freely. Furthermore, the two rollers (3,4) protrude slightly, of the order of a few tenths of a millimeter, relative to the lower edges (14,15) of the side walls (6,7) of the chamber (5).
De manière connue, dans l'espace compris entre les deux rouleaux (3,4), débouche un conduit (16) dont l'extrémité (19) peut être reliée à une source d'aspiration (non représentée). Ce conduit (16) est de préférence constitué par un insert (18) rapporté à l'intérieur du corps (2) de l'appareil. De préférence, ce conduit (16) se termine par une chambre (17), pouvant avoir une forme évasée, et qui s'étend sur tout l'espace entre les rouleaux.In known manner, in the space between the two rollers (3,4), a conduit (16) opens, the end (19) of which can be connected to a suction source (not shown). This conduit (16) is preferably constituted by an insert (18) attached to the inside of the body (2) of the device. Preferably, this conduit (16) ends in a chamber (17), which can have a flared shape, and which extends over the entire space between the rollers.
L'utilisation d'un tel appareil de massage est très simple, car il suffit d'appliquer la face inférieure de la chambre de traitement pour que, sous l'action de l'aspiration produite à l'intérieur du conduit, la peau forme un pli entre les rouleaux (3,4), le rouletage de ce pli étant obtenu par le manipulateur qui en déplaçant l'appareil, provoque la rotation des rouleaux (3,4).The use of such a massage device is very simple, since it suffices to apply the underside of the treatment chamber so that, under the action of the suction produced inside the duct, the skin forms a fold between the rollers (3,4), the rolling of this fold being obtained by the manipulator which by moving the device, causes the rotation of the rollers (3,4).
Il est évident que l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation décrit précédemment mais qu'elle en couvre toutes les variantes réalisées dans le même esprit. Ainsi, il pourrait être envisager d'associer à l'appareil des moyens permettant de faire varier la valeur de la dépression créée entre les rouleaux en fonction des traitements à réaliser.It is obvious that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above but that it covers all the variants produced in the same spirit. Thus, it could be envisaged to associate with the device means making it possible to vary the value of the vacuum created between the rollers as a function of the treatments to be carried out.
