Description

Das zum Patent angemeldete Gerät dient zur Massage und Ent­spannung des gesamten Körperbaues, oder von Teilen des Körpers wie Rücken, Bauch, Seitenteile, Gesäß, Ober- und Unterschenkel, sowie der Hand- und Fußreflexzonen. Dies ist dadurch gekenn­zeichnet, daß die beiden auf horizontalen Achsen gelagerten Um­lenkrollen an den beiden Enden eines rechteckigen Stahlrohr­rahmens montiert sind, wobei das elastische Gewebeband an einer Umlenkrolle fest montiert ist, daß der Kurbelantrieb aus einer von einem stufenlos von 0 bis 1400 Umdrehungen/Minute regulier­baren Elektromotor angetriebenen Antriebsscheibe mit exzentrisch angelegter Pleuelstange besteht, welche mit ihrem anderen Ende an einem zur Änderung des Hubes der Hin- und Herbewegung des Ge­webebandes radial verschiebbaren Angriffspunkt einer mit der einen Umlenkrolle drehfest verbundenen Exzenterscheibe angreift und daß im Rahmen der quer zu dessen Längserstreckung unterhalb des Gewebebandes mehrere V-förmige Stahlachsen parallel zuei­nander angeordnet sind, auf welche Holzkugeln montiert sind.The patent-pending device is used to massage and relax the entire body, or parts of the body such as the back, abdomen, side parts, buttocks, thighs and lower legs, as well as the hand and foot reflex zones. This is characterized in that the two deflection rollers mounted on horizontal axes are mounted on the two ends of a rectangular tubular steel frame, the elastic fabric band being firmly attached to a deflection roller, that the crank drive can be regulated from a continuously variable from 0 to 1400 revolutions / minute Electric motor driven drive pulley with an eccentrically positioned connecting rod, which engages with its other end at a radially displaceable point of attack for changing the stroke of the reciprocating movement of the fabric belt, one which engages with the one deflection pulley in a rotationally fixed manner and in the context of the transverse to its longitudinal extent below the Fabric tape several V-shaped steel axes are arranged parallel to each other, on which wooden balls are mounted.

Die Neuheit und Besonderheit der Erfindung liegt darin, daß ent­weder eine gleichzeitige Massage des gesamten Körperbaues oder nur von Körperteilen, je nach Wunsch des Benutzers erfolgen kann, sowie daß die Massage nicht wie bei den herkömmlichen Geräten durch ein sich bewegendes Gerät erfolgt, sondern der gesamte Körper hin und her bewegt wird und die Massage durch die Reibung zwischen dem auf dem Gewebeband liegenden Körper und unter dem Gewebeband befind­lichen Kugeln entsteht.The novelty and particularity of the invention lies in the fact that either a simultaneous massage of the entire body or only parts of the body, depending on the wishes of the user, and that the massage is not carried out by a moving device as in the conventional devices, but the entire Body is moved back and forth and the massage is caused by the friction between the body lying on the fabric tape and balls located under the fabric tape.

Durch die Hin- und Herbewegung des Körpers, der auf die, getrennt durch das druckdurchlässige Gewebeband, Holzkugeln drückt, ent­steht die Masse. Durch die Reibung entsteht weiters eine angenehme Wärmung. Je nach eingenommener Liege- oder Sitzposition kann die Massage durch den Benutzer individuell beinflußt werden. Durch das Anwinkeln der Oberschenkel wird erreicht, daß lediglich die Fuß­sohlen und der Rückenbereich massiert werden. Beim Sitzen auf dem Massagebett mit ausgestreckten Beinen und abgestützten Armen, er­gibt sich eine weniger intensive Massage, als für den Fall, daß die Arme und Hände hinter dem Nacken zusammengeführt sind. Durch die gewählte Liege- bzw. Sitzposition wird sohin die Intensität der Massage weiter beeinflußt. Durch die Möglichkeit die Stahlachsen samt darauf befindlichen Holzkugeln auszutauschen bzw. der Höhe nach zu verstellen wird eine allenfalls bestehende Druck- oder Schmerz­empfindlichkeit des Benutzers an bestimmten Stellen seines Körpers berücksichtigt. Darüberhinaus kann die Intensität der Massage durch die stufenlose Regulierung der Frequenz der Hin- und Herbewegung des Gewebebandes erreicht werden.The mass is created by the back and forth movement of the body, which presses on the wooden balls, separated by the pressure-permeable fabric tape. The friction also creates a pleasant warmth. Depending on the lying or sitting position taken, the massage can be individually influenced by the user. By bending the thighs, only the soles of the feet and the back area are massaged. Sitting on the massage bed with your legs stretched out and your arms supported will result in a less intense massage than if your arms and hands are brought together behind your neck. The intensity of the massage is further influenced by the selected lying or sitting position. Due to the possibility of exchanging the steel axes including the wooden balls on them or adjusting the height, any existing pressure or pain sensitivity of the user is taken into account at certain points on his body. In addition, the intensity of the massage can be achieved through the continuous regulation of the frequency of the back and forth movement of the fabric band.

Die herkömmlichen Massagegeräte ermöglichen eine Massage ab­wechselnd nur an bestimmten Körperteilen. Der Körper wird ent­weder an das Massagegerät angelehnt oder ein Riehmen oder Band um den Körper gelegt, wobei dann das Gerät in Bewegung gebracht wird. Bei der Frottier- und Massagevorrichtung DE-OS 2207925 (PAHL) wird die Frottier- und Massagewirkung dadurch bewerk­stelligt, daß man den Körper auf das Frottiermaterial legen kann und das Frottiermaterial dann in Bewegung gebracht wird.The conventional massage devices allow a massage alternately only on certain parts of the body. The body is either leaned against the massager or a strap or band is placed around the body, which then sets the device in motion. In the terry and massage device DE-OS 2207925 (PAHL) the terry and massage effect is brought about by the fact that the body can be placed on the terry material and the terry material is then brought into motion.

Ebenso verhält es sich bei der Vorrichtung, die zu US-PS 4656998 (MASUDA) angemeldet ist. Auch bei dieser Konstruktion wird ledig­lich der vom fortlaufenden Band jeweils berührte Körperteil von der Massage erfaßt. Bei diesem Gerät ist es daher nicht möglich, eine gleichzeitige Massage des gesamten Körpers zu erreichen. Bei diesem Gerät erfolgt die Massage durch die Bewegung des Gerätes und nicht durch die Bewegung des Körpers.The same applies to the device which is registered for US Pat. No. 4,656,998 (MASUDA). With this construction too, only the part of the body touched by the continuous band is covered by the massage. With this device, it is therefore not possible to achieve a simultaneous massage of the entire body. With this device, the massage takes place through the movement of the device and not through the movement of the body.

Das Gerät besteht aus einem Stahlrohrrahmen 5 auf dem zwischen Umlenkrollen 2,3 ein Gewebeband 1 montiert ist. Die Umlenk­rollen 2,3 sind an den beiden Enden des rechteckigen Stahl­rohrrahmen 5 montiert. Die Umlenkrollen 2,3 haben eine Breite von 80 cm und einen Durchmesser von ca. 8 cm. Die Umlenkrolle 3 befindet sich an dem Endpunkt des Stahlrohrrahmens 5 und ist dort auf einer Schiene 10 in Längserstreckung des Stahlrohrrahmens 5 verschiebbar gelagert. Die Umlenkrolle 2 wird durch eine Exzenter­scheibe 4 hin und her bewegt. Je nach Montage der Pleuelstange 6 läßt sich der Hub im Ausmaß von 0,5 cm bis 1,5 cm regulieren. Das elastische Gewebeband 1 wird nicht fortlaufend sondern durch die fixe Montage auf der durch die Exzenterscheibe 4 bewegten Umlenk­rolle 3 im Ausmaß von 0,5 bis 1,5 cm hin und her bewegt. Die Exzenterscheibe 4 ist auf der Welle eines Elektormotors aufgesetzt und wird dadurch betrieben. Die Umdrehung des Elektromotors ist stufenlos von 0 bis 1400 Umdrehungen pro Minute regulierbar, wobei dadurch die Frequenz der Hin- und Herbewegung des Gewebebandes re­guliert wird. Die Umlenkroll 2 ist an ihren Enden in einer Schiene 10 gelagert. Dadurch kann die Umlenkrolle 2 in der Längsrichtung verstellt und ergibt sich damit eine Änderung der Spannung des Gewebebandes 1. Über der Umlenkrolle 3 befindet sich ein Kopf­auflager 9, welches auf dem Stahlrohrrahmen 5 befestigt ist. Unterhalb des Gewebebandes 1 befindet sich quer zum Gewebeband 1 eine Anordnung von parallelen Stahlachsen 15, auf welchen Holzku­geln 11 montiert sind. Die Größe dieser Holzkugeln 11 ist von außen nach innen abnehmend.The device consists of a tubular steel frame 5 on which a fabric tape 1 is mounted between deflection rollers 2, 3. The deflection rollers 2, 3 are mounted on the two ends of the rectangular tubular steel frame 5. The deflection rollers 2, 3 have a width of 80 cm and a diameter of approx. 8 cm. The deflection roller 3 is located at the end point of the tubular steel frame 5 and is there displaceably mounted on a rail 10 in the longitudinal extension of the tubular steel frame 5. The deflection roller 2 is moved back and forth by an eccentric disk 4. Depending on the assembly of the connecting rod 6, the stroke can be regulated to the extent of 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm. The elastic fabric tape 1 is not continuously moved back and forth by the fixed assembly on the deflection roller 3 moved by the eccentric disc 4 to the extent of 0.5 to 1.5 cm. The eccentric disc 4 is placed on the shaft of an electric motor and is operated thereby. The rotation of the electric motor is infinitely adjustable from 0 to 1400 revolutions per minute, whereby the frequency of the back and forth movement of the fabric belt is regulated. The deflection roller 2 is supported at its ends in a rail 10. As a result, the deflecting roller 2 can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction and this results in a change in the tension of the fabric belt 1. Above the deflecting roller 3 there is a head support 9 which is fastened on the tubular steel frame 5. An arrangement of parallel steel axes 15, on which wooden balls 11 are mounted, is located beneath the fabric belt 1 transversely to the fabric belt 1. The size of these wooden balls 11 is decreasing from the outside in.

Im Zusammenhang mit der V-förmigen Ausformung der Stahlachsen 15 ergibt sich zur Mitte hin eine Vertiefung und damit eine körperangepaßte Form. Im Bereich des Rückens und des Gesäßes sind die Stahlachsen 15 in einer Entfernung von ca. 8 cm ange­bracht. Im Bereich der Ober- und Unterschenkel sowie Füße sind die Stahlachsen 15 in einer Entfernung von ca. 10 cm angebracht. Die Stahlachsen 15 sind in ihren Endpunkten am Stahlrohrrahmen 5 elastisch mit Stahlfedern 14 gelagert. Die Lagerung erfolgt in geringfügig unterschiedlicher Höhe. Damit wird eine Nachformung der Liegefläche an der Körperbau erreicht und erfolgt damit auch eine Anpassung an den Körperbau in Längsrichtung.In connection with the V-shaped shape of the steel axes 15, there is a depression towards the center and thus a shape that is adapted to the body. In the area of the back and buttocks, the steel axes 15 are attached at a distance of approximately 8 cm. In the area of the upper and lower legs and feet, the steel axes 15 are attached at a distance of approx. 10 cm. The steel axes 15 are elastically supported by steel springs 14 at their end points on the tubular steel frame 5. Storage takes place at slightly different heights. This results in a re-shaping of the lying surface on the body structure and thus also an adaptation to the body structure in the longitudinal direction.

Durch Einfügung von Erhöhungsteilen kann jede einzelne Stahlachse 15 weiter verstellt werden. Damit kann eine individuelle Anpassung je nach Bedarf des Benutzers erfolgen. Schließlich ist ein gänz­liches Entfernen von einzelnen Stahlachsen 15 samt den darauf be­findlichen Holzkugeln 11 möglich. Dadurch kann der besonderen Em­pfindlichkeit des Benutzers an einer bestimmten Stelle seines Körpers entsprochen werden.Each individual steel axis 15 can be adjusted further by inserting raised parts. This allows an individual adjustment according to the needs of the user. Finally, a complete removal of individual steel axes 15 together with the wooden balls 11 located thereon is possible. As a result, the special sensitivity of the user can be met at a certain point on his body.

Durch das Körpergewicht wird das Gewebeband 1 auf die darunter­liegenden Holzkugeln 11 gedrückt. Das Gewebeband 1 ist in sich elastisch. Es hat eine solche Stärke die gewähreleistet, den Körper im Bereich von 0,5 cm bis 1,5 cm hin und her zu bewegen. Andererseits ist es so ausgebildet, daß der Druck des Körpers auf die unter dem Gewebeband 1 angeordneten Holzkugeln 11 weiter geleitet werden kann.The fabric tape 1 is pressed onto the underlying wooden balls 11 by the body weight. The fabric tape 1 is elastic in itself. It has such a strength that it can move the body back and forth in the range of 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm. On the other hand, it is designed so that the pressure of the body can be passed on to the wooden balls 11 arranged under the fabric tape 1.
