Definitions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- the cuff 1 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.
- 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.
- Each hollow chamber 2 is fastened to the common base 5 (FIG. 2) via the associated fastening tabs 6.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
