Abstract

The invention relates to a massaging sleeve (1) with tubular hollow chambers (2) which are made of an elastic material and have connections (3) for filling with a fluid. The hollow chambers (2) are arranged parallel to one another, overlap in an imbricated formation and, in the area of their narrow front sides (4), are in each case secured on a common support (5). Arrangements of this type tend to tear open in the front area of the securing of the hollow chambers (2) and thus become unusable. According to the invention, this should be prevented by virtue of the fact that each narrow front side (4) has a securing tab (6) whose free long side (7) is secured on the common support (5), the length of the securing tab (6) preferably being greater than the width of the hollow chambers (2). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Massagemanschette mit aus einem elasti­schen Werkstoff gebildeten rohrförmigen Hohlkammern mit Anschlüssen für eine Füllung mit einem Fluid, wobei die Hohlkammern, parallel zueinander angeordnet, sich schuppenförmig überdecken und im Bereich ihrer schmalen Stirnseiten je an einer gemeinsamen Unterlage befestigt sind.The invention relates to a massage sleeve with tubular hollow chambers formed from an elastic material with connections for filling with a fluid, the hollow chambers, arranged parallel to one another, overlapping in a scale-like manner and being fastened to a common base in the area of their narrow end faces.

Manschetten der oben genannten Art sind bereits bekannt geworden beispielsweise durch das DE-G 85 30 877. Solche Einrichtungen haben sich in der Praxis sehr bewährt und werden angewendet z.B. zum Entstauen des Gewebes von Extremitäten. Hierbei sind die bekannten Manschetten so ausgebildet, daß sie mit den Einzelkammern um die zu entstauenden Extremitäten, beispielsweise einem bestimmten Armteil oder Beinteil, herum gelegt werden. Sie werden dann verbunden mit einer Steuereinrichtung, die mit einer entsprechenden Druckquelle verbunden ist, die die einzelnen Kammern die Manschette nacheinander mit einem gewünschten Druck in einer gewünschten Geschwindigkeit aufbläst bzw. nachfolgend wieder entlastet, so daß die Gewebeflüssigkeit langsam vorwärts getrieben wird. Auch die zugehörigen Steuereinrich­tungen sind bereits bekannt.Cuffs of the type mentioned above have already become known, for example from DE-G 85 30 877. Such devices have proven themselves very well in practice and are used e.g. for decongesting the tissue from extremities. The known cuffs are designed so that they are placed with the individual chambers around the extremities to be decongested, for example a certain arm part or leg part. They are then connected to a control device which is connected to a corresponding pressure source, which in turn inflates the individual chambers of the cuff at a desired pressure at a desired speed or subsequently relieves them again, so that the tissue fluid is slowly propelled forward. The associated control devices are also already known.

Darüber hinaus sind mit dem DE-G 86 20 269 solche Einrichtungen bekannt geworden die sich auch für eine Flächenbehandlung eignen. Auch solche Einrichtungen haben sich in der Praxis sehr gut bewährt. Um die röhrenförmigen Hohlkammern, die sich schuppenartig überdeckend angeordnet sind, zu halten, sind diese an ihren schmalen Stirnseiten nahtartig zusammengelegt, verschlossen und auf einer gemeinsamen Unterlage befestigt. Hierbei erfolgt die Befestigung im Bereich der Naht an einem geringen Nahtüberstand, der an die gemeinsame Unterlage anvulkanisiert oder in sonstiger geeigneter Weise an dieser gemeinsamen Unterlage befestigt ist. Diese Befestigung neigt am vorderen Ende -dies ist das Ende, das schuppenförmig auf der nächsten Hohlkammer aufliegt­ dazu, im Dauerbetrieb aufzureißen, wohl verursacht durch die Kraft, die von der aufgeblasenen Hohlkammer auf die teilweise darüber liegende überdeckende Hohlkammer ausgeübt wird.In addition, DE-G 86 20 269 has disclosed such devices which are also suitable for surface treatment. Such facilities have also proven themselves very well in practice. In order to hold the tubular hollow chambers, which are arranged so as to overlap in a scale-like manner, they are folded together in a seam-like manner on their narrow end faces, closed and fastened on a common base. In this case, the fastening takes place in the area of the seam at a small seam protrusion which is vulcanized onto the common base or is attached to this common base in some other suitable manner. This attachment tilts at the front end - this is the end that rests in scales on the next hollow chamber to tear open in continuous operation, probably caused by the force exerted by the inflated hollow chamber on the overlying hollow chamber, which is partially above it.

Der Erfindung liegt damit die Aufgabe zugrunde, Manschetten der eingangs beschriebenen Art vorzugschlagen, durch deren Gestaltung ein Einreißen an der genannten Stelle vermieden wird.The invention is therefore based on the object of proposing sleeves of the type described at the outset, the design of which prevents tearing at the point mentioned.

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von einer Massagemanschette der eingangs beschriebenen Art dadurch gelöst, daß jede schmale Stirnseite der rohrförmigen Hohlkammern einen Befestigungslappen aufweist, dessen freie Längsseite an der gemeinsamen Unterlage befestigt ist.This object is achieved on the basis of a massage sleeve of the type described at the outset in that each narrow end face of the tubular hollow chambers has a fastening tab, the free long side of which is attached to the common base.

Ergänzend wird dann nach der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, daß jede Hohlkammer aus zwei flachen Werkstoffstreifen gebildet ist, die je mindestens eine freie Breitseite aufweisen, wobei die freien Breitseiten miteinander verbunden werden zur Bildung einer hohlen Röhre und daß die Stirnseiten zur Bildung der Hohlkammern mit mindestens einer Quernaht zusammengefügt sind, die in einem Abstand zum stirnseitigen Ende der Röhre verläuft, zur Bildung des Befestigungslappens. Hierdurch gelingt es den Befestigungslappen einstückig mit der Röhre auszubilden, so daß die Entstehung einer neuen Kerbzone nach Beseitigung der bisherigen Kerbzone verhindert wird.In addition, it is then proposed according to the invention that each hollow chamber is formed from two flat strips of material, each having at least one free broad side, the free broad sides being connected to form a hollow tube and that the end faces for forming the hollow chambers with at least one transverse seam are joined together, which runs at a distance from the front end of the tube to form the fastening tab. This makes it possible to form the fastening tabs in one piece with the tube, so that the formation of a new notch zone after the previous notch zone has been eliminated is prevented.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Befestigungslappen mindestens in dem auf der nächsten Hohlkammer aufliegenden Bereich eine größere Länge aufweise als die Breite der flachgedrückten Hohlkammer. Hierdurch wird eine weitere Entlastung des reißgefährdeten Bereiches erreicht.In a further embodiment of the invention it is proposed that the fastening tab have a greater length than the width of the flattened hollow chamber, at least in the area lying on the next hollow chamber. This further relieves the area at risk of tearing.

Schließlich ist nach der Erfindung noch vorgeschlagen, daß der Übergang zwischen dem längeren Teil des Befestigungslappens und der zugehörigen Breitseite der Hohlkammer eine Ausrundung aufweist. Hierdurch gelingt es zwischen Befestigungslappen und Röhre einen guten Übergang zur Verteilung der Zug- und Spreizkräfte zu schaffen und neue Kerbzonen zu vermeiden.Finally, it is proposed according to the invention that the transition between the longer part of the fastening tab and the associated broad side of the hollow chamber has a fillet. This makes it possible to create a good transition between the fastening tabs and the tube for the distribution of the tensile and spreading forces and to avoid new notch zones.

Die Erfindung soll nun anhand von Skizzen, die ein Ausführungsbeispiel zeigen, näher erläutert werden.The invention will now be explained in more detail with the aid of sketches which show an exemplary embodiment.

Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 Draufsicht auf eine neuerungsge­mäße Manschette
  • Figur 2 Gestreckte und aufgeblasene Einzel­kammer in Ansicht nach Pfeil A aus Figur 1
  • Figur 3 Schnitt I-I nach Figur 1
Show it:
  • Figure 1 top view of a new cuff
  • Figure 2 Stretched and inflated single chamber in the direction of arrow A from Figure 1
  • Figure 3 section II of Figure 1

Die erfindungsgemäße Manschette 1 besteht im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 im wesentlichen aus mehreren rohrförmigen Hohlkammern 2, die parallel zueinander und sich gegenseitig schuppenförmig überdeckend angeordnet sind. Jede Hohlkammer 2 weist einen Anschluß 3 für eine Füllung mit einem Fluid, z.B. mit Luft, auf. An ihren schmalen Stirnseiten 4 sind diese Hohlkammern 2 durch eine Quernaht 12 verschlossen, die in einem Abstand 13 vom stirnseitigen Ende 14 der Hohlkammer 2 verläuft, so daß dort eine flache Lasche entsteht, die als Befestigungslasche 6 benutzt wird. Die gesamte Hohlkammer 2 einschl. der Befestigungslappen 6 kann gebildet werden aus zwei übereinander gelegten flachen Werkstoffstreifen 8 und 9 aus geeigneten Werkstoff, die z.B. über eine jeweils an ihrer freien Breitseite 10 und 11 verlaufenden Schweißnaht oder Klebenaht 20 bzw. 21 miteinander verbunden sind. Hierdurch wird jeweils eine Röhre gebildet, die nach Anbringung der bereits genannten Quernaht 12 zur Hohlkammer 2 wird. Der so an den schmalen Stirnseiten 4 jeder Hohlkammer 2 entstandene Befestigungslappen 6 weist eine Länge 16 auf, die größer ist als die Breite 17 der unaufgeblasenen Hohlkammer. Der Unterschied zwischen der genannten Länge 16 des Befestigungslappens 6 und der Breite 17 der Hohlkammer 2 ist überbrückt mit einer Ausrundung 19, mit der der längere Teil 18 des Befestigungslappens 6 zurückgeführt ist auf die Breite 17 der Hohlkammer 2.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, the cuff 1 according to the invention essentially consists of a plurality of tubular hollow chambers 2 which are arranged parallel to one another and overlapping one another in a scale-like manner. Each hollow chamber 2 has a connection 3 for filling with a fluid, for example with air. On their narrow end faces 4, these hollow chambers 2 are closed by a transverse seam 12, which runs at a distance 13 from the front end 14 of the hollow chamber 2, so that there is a flat tab which is used as a fastening tab 6. The entire hollow chamber 2 including the fastening tabs 6 can be formed from two superimposed flat material strips 8 and 9 made of suitable material, which are connected to one another, for example, by a weld seam or adhesive seam 20 or 21 running on their free broad sides 10 and 11. As a result, a tube is formed in each case, which becomes a hollow chamber 2 after the transverse seam 12 already mentioned has been applied. The fastening tab 6 thus formed on the narrow end faces 4 of each hollow chamber 2 has a length 16 which is greater than the width 17 of the uninflated hollow chamber. The difference between the mentioned length 16 of the fastening tab 6 and the width 17 of the hollow chamber 2 is bridged with a fillet 19 with which the longer part 18 of the fastening tab 6 is returned to the width 17 of the hollow chamber 2.

Jede Hohlkammer 2 wird über die zugehörigen Befestigungslappen 6 auf der gemeinsamen Unterlage 5 (Figur 2) befestigt. Hierzu wird die freie Längsseite 7 jedes Befestigungslappens 6 in ihrem Randbereich mit der gemeinsamen Unterlage 5 verklebt, verchweißt oder in sonstiger geeigneter Weise verbunden. Wird nun jede Hohlkammer 2 aufgeblasen, so versucht im überlappten Bereich die jeweils untere Hohlkammer 2 im Überlappungsbereich die darüber befindliche Hohlkammer 2 nach oben wegzudrücken, wobei dies noch unterstützt wird dadurch, daß ja auch die obere Hohlkammer 2 aufgeblasen wird. Es wird also im Überdeckungs­bereich die jeweils obere Hohlkammer 2 von der gemeinsamen Unterlage 5 abgehoben, wobei ein ungewollt weites Abheben durch die Befesti­gungslappen 6 verhindert sind, die damit entsprechend belastet werden. Im rißgefährdeten Überdeckungsbereich sorgt jedoch die größere Länge 16 des Befestigungslappens 6 dafür, daß im Bereich 15, der den längeren Teil 18 des Befestigungslappens 6 umfaßt, eine verringerte Reißbe­lastung auf die Befestigungsnaht an der freien Längsseite 7 des Befestigungslappens 6 ausgeübt wird, so daß an dieser vorderen Stelle die Befestigungsnaht nunmehr den üblichen Beanspruchungen sicher standhält. Die Ausrundung 19 sorgt hierbei für eine Übergang, mit dem neue zusätzliche Spannungen vermieden werden.
Es ist jedoch auch möglich, den längeren Teil 18 so, wie mit dem Verlauf der Linie 22 in Figur 1 angedeutet, zu gestalten und in die freie Breitseite 11 einer Hohlkammer 2 übergehen zu lassen.Each hollow chamber 2 is fastened to the common base 5 (FIG. 2) via the associated fastening tabs 6. For this purpose, the free longitudinal side 7 of each fastening tab 6 is glued, welded or connected in some other suitable manner in its edge region to the common base 5. If each hollow chamber 2 is now inflated, the lower hollow chamber 2 in the overlapping area tries to push up the hollow chamber 2 above in the overlapped area, this being further supported by the fact that the upper hollow chamber 2 is also inflated. In the area of overlap, the respective upper hollow chamber 2 is lifted off the common base 5, whereby an unintentionally large lifting is prevented by the fastening tabs 6, which are accordingly loaded. In the overlapping area at risk of tearing, however, the greater length 16 of the fastening tab 6 ensures that in the area 15, which comprises the longer part 18 of the fastening tab 6, a reduced tear load is exerted on the fastening seam on the free longitudinal side 7 of the fastening tab 6, so that this front fastening seam now withstands the usual stresses safely. The fillet 19 ensures a transition with which new additional tensions are avoided.
However, it is also possible to design the longer part 18 as indicated by the line 22 in FIG. 1 and to have it pass into the free broad side 11 of a hollow chamber 2.

Zur besseren Verdeutlichung der Anwendung ist in Figur 2 im Querschnitt eine Extremität 23 (Bein, Arm) angedeutet. Die nicht aufgeblasene Manschette 1 wird mit ihrem Hohlkammern 2 um diese Extremität 23 herumgewickelt, wobei die gemeinsame Unterlage 5 an der Extremität zur Anlage kommt. Bei Bedarf kann dann die ganze Manschette 1 mit einer Umhüllung 24, die in Figur 2 nur angedeutet ist, umgeben sein, wodurch es möglich wird die räumliche Ausdehnung der Hohlkammern 2 während des Aufblasvorganges zu begrenzen.For better clarification of the application, an extremity 23 (leg, arm) is indicated in cross section in FIG. 2. The non-inflated cuff 1 is wrapped with its hollow chambers 2 around this extremity 23, the common pad 5 coming to rest on the extremity. If necessary, the entire cuff 1 can then be surrounded by a covering 24, which is only indicated in FIG. 2, which makes it possible to limit the spatial expansion of the hollow chambers 2 during the inflation process.
