Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Massagegerät zur Rollmassage von Haut- und Reflexzonen am menschlichen Körper, wobei das Massagegerät auf einer an einem Handgriff sitzenden Achse frei drehbar gelagerte Massageringe aufweist, die jeweils mit in Umfangsrichtung gleichmäßig verteilt angeordneten Vorsprüngen versehen sind, von denen jeder aus einer Nadelspitze besteht.The invention relates to a massage device for roller massage of skin and reflex zones on the human body, the massage device having massage rings which are freely rotatably mounted on an axis which is seated on a handle and which are each provided with projections which are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, each of which has a needle tip consists.

Ein Massagegerät dieser Art ist bereits bekannt durch DE-U-83 32 382. Es wird in Selbstbehandlung zur Rollmassage von Haut- und Reflexzonen benutzt, wobei sich über die dadurch entstehenden Hautreizungen häufig günstige therapeutische Wirkungen erzielen lassen, wenn eine gute Flächenmassage an den schmerzenden Körperstellen und/oder den betreffenden Reflexzonen durchgeführt werden kann.A massage device of this type is already known from DE-U-83 32 382. It is used in self-treatment for rolling massage of skin and reflex zones, with the resulting skin irritation often being able to achieve favorable therapeutic effects if a good surface massage is applied to the painful area Body parts and / or the relevant reflex zones can be performed.

Die praktische Erfahrung hat gezeigt, daß sich bei der Benutzung von Massagegeräten der gattungsgemäßen Art eine akupunkturartige Reizwirkung einstellt, die auf der punktuellen Massagewirkung der Nadelspitzen beruht, in dem die vorhandenen Nadelspitzen durch entsprechende Handbewegungen jeweils in vielzahlige Kontakberührung mit den Haut- und Reflexzonenbereichen gebracht werden.Practical experience has shown that when using massage devices of the generic type, an acupuncture-like irritant effect arises, which is based on the selective massage action of the needle tips, in which the needle tips are brought into contact with the skin and reflex zone areas by appropriate hand movements .

Eine zu einem optimalen therapeutischen Effekt führende Massage-Selbstbehandlung macht bei der Benutzung des gattungsgemäßen Massagegerätes naturgemäß eine große Anzahl von hin- und hergehenden Handbewegungen erforderlich, wenn es auf eine großflächige Behandlung der Haut- und/oder Reflexzonen ankommt. Deshalb befaßt sich die Erfindung mit der Schaffung eines Massagegerätes, mit dessen Hilfe eine Fremdbehandlung durchgeführt werden kann und welches deshalb eine Auslegung hat, bei der dem Masseur in der Regel die Behandlung liegender Personen möglich ist und er beim Massieren auf die zu behandelnden Körperpartien Druck ausüben kann. Dabei kommt es auch darauf an, mit einfachen Mitteln den Wirkeffekt des bekannten Massagegerätes zu verbessern, und zwar in der Weise, daß die optimale akupunkturartige Reizwirkung schon mit einer verminderten Anzahl von Handbewegungen herbeigeführt werden kann.A massage self-treatment leading to an optimal therapeutic effect naturally requires a large number of back and forth hand movements when using the generic massage device when it comes to treating the skin and / or reflex zones over a large area. Therefore, the invention is concerned with the creation of a massage device, with the help of which external treatment can be carried out and which therefore has a design in which the masseur is usually able to treat lying people and he exerts pressure on the parts of the body to be treated when massaging can. It is also important to use simple means to improve the effect of the known massage device in such a way that the optimal acupuncture-like irritant effect can be achieved with a reduced number of hand movements.

Ein Massagegerät, welches diese Zwecke erfüllt, ist nach der Erfindung hauptsächlich gekennzeichnet durch ein U-förmiges Lagerstück mit in den beiden Flanschen ausgebildeten, miteinander fluchtenden Lageraugen zur Aufnahme der Achse, wobei jeder Flansch zwischen zwei benachbarten Massageringen auf der Achse angeordnet ist und wobei der Handgriff über einen senkrecht auf dem Lagerstücksteg angeordneten Verbindungsbolzen mit dem Lagerstück verbunden ist.A massager that fulfills these purposes is mainly characterized according to the invention by a U-shaped bearing piece with trained in the two flanges, aligned with each other bearing eyes for receiving the axis, wherein each flange is arranged between two adjacent massage rings on the axis and wherein the Handle is connected to the bearing piece via a connecting bolt arranged vertically on the bearing piece web.

Bei einem Massagegerät dieser Art hat es sich auch bewährt, mindestens zwei mit Massageringen bestückte, parallele Achsen in den Lagerstückflanschen in einer entsprechenden Zahl von Paaren miteinander fluchtender Lageraugen anzuordnen, wobei der Verbindungsbolzen gegenüber der Achse des Handgriffs abgewinkelt ist sowie Bolzen und Handgriff einen stumpfen Winkel von vorzugsweise 120° miteinander bilden.With a massage device of this type, it has also proven useful to arrange at least two parallel axes equipped with massage rings in the bearing piece flanges in a corresponding number of pairs of aligned bearing eyes, the connecting bolt being angled relative to the axis of the handle, and the bolt and handle being at an obtuse angle of preferably 120 ° together.

Beim Bewegen eines solchermaßen ausgebildeten Massagegerät des über die behandelnden Körperpartien kommen die Massageringe beider Achsen unmittelbar nacheinander zur Wirkung, mit der Folge, daß der Therapieeffekt hierdurch noch eine wesentliche Steigerung erfährt.When a massage device designed in this way is moved over the parts of the body to be treated, the massage rings on both axes come into effect immediately one after the other, with the result that the therapeutic effect is thereby significantly increased.

Wichtig ist auch, daß die Lagerstückflansche eine Stärke aufweisen, die der Breite eines Distanzringes entspricht und daß dabei die Nadelspitzen der Massageringe im wirksamen Umfangsbereich die Außenabmessungen der Lageraugen überragen. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine konstruktiv besonders einfache Ausgestaltung des Massagegerätes.It is also important that the bearing piece flanges have a thickness which corresponds to the width of a spacer ring and that the needle tips of the massage rings protrude beyond the outer dimensions of the bearing eyes in the effective circumferential area. This results in a particularly simple design of the massage device.

Damit die mit Massageringen bestückten Achsen eine zueinander leicht verschränkte Lage einnehmen können, um so den optimalen Kontakt mit den zu behandelnden Körperpartien zu gewährleisten, ist nach der Erfindung auch noch vorgesehen, daß die Achsen in den Lageraugen mit geringem Spiel gelagert sind.So that the axles equipped with massage rings can assume a slightly entangled position in order to ensure optimal contact with the parts of the body to be treated, the invention also provides that the axles are mounted in the bearing eyes with little play.

Damit unter Benutzung eines erfindungsgemäßen Massagegerätes grundsätzlich auch eine Selbstbehandlung möglich ist, empfiehlt es sich, den Handgriff durch einen aufsteckbaren Teil verlängerbar zu gestalten, wobei der aufgesteckte Teil mit dem Handgriff fest verrastbar ist. Diese Verlängerung erlaubt es dann, in Selbstbehandlung auch schwer erreichbare Körperpartien, z. B. den Rücken, zu erreichen.So that using a massage device according to the invention is in principle also possible for self-treatment, it is advisable to make the handle extendable by means of an attachable part, the attached part being firmly latchable with the handle. This extension then allows even hard-to-reach parts of the body, e.g. B. to reach the back.

Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Massagegerätes in perspektivischer Darstellung.The single figure of the drawing shows an embodiment of the massage device in a perspective view.

Das in der Zeichnungsfigur dargestellte Massagegerät hat zwei parallele Achsen 21, auf denen Massageringe 22 frei drehbar gelagert sind. Zwischen den Massageringen 22 befinden sich Distanzringe 23, welche die Massageringe 22 auf Abstand halten.The massage device shown in the drawing figure has two parallel axes 21, on which massage rings 22 are freely rotatable. Between the massage rings 22 there are spacer rings 23 which keep the massage rings 22 at a distance.

Die beiden Achsen 21 werden durch ein U-förmiges Lagerstück 24 gehalten, wozu in den Flanschen 25 desselben (nicht erkennbare) Lageraugen ausgebildet sind, die miteinander fluchten. Jedes Lageraugenpaar nimmt eine Achse 21 auf, und zwar in der Weise, daß jeder Flansch 25 zwischen zwei benachbarten Massageringen 22 angeordnet ist.The two axes 21 are held by a U-shaped bearing piece 24, for which purpose bearing eyes are formed in the flanges 25 of the same (not visible), which are aligned with one another. Each pair of bearing eyes receives an axis 21 in such a way that each flange 25 is arranged between two adjacent massage rings 22.

Senkrecht auf dem Steg 26 des U-förmigen Lagerstücks 24 ist ein Verbindungsbolzen 27 angeordnet, der in einen Handgriff 28 übergeht. Der Verbindungsbolzen 27 bildet mit dem Handgriff 28 einen Winkel von 120°.A connecting bolt 27 is arranged vertically on the web 26 of the U-shaped bearing piece 24 and merges into a handle 28. The connecting bolt 27 forms an angle of 120 ° with the handle 28.

Die Massageringe 22 haben einen wesentlich größeren Durchmesser als die Distanzringe 23 und sind an ihrem Umfang mit gleichmäßig verteilt angeordneten kurzen Nadelspitzen versehen. Bewährt hat es sich, jeden der Massageringe 22 an seinem Umfang mit etwa 20 gleichmäßig verteilt angeordneten Nadelspitzen zu versehen und die Distanzringe 23 so zu bemessen, daß zwischen den Nadelspitzen zweier auf der Achse 21 benachbart nebeneinander angeordneter Massageringe 22 ein Abstand von etwa 3 mm vorhanden ist.The massage rings 22 have a much larger diameter than the spacer rings 23 and are provided on their circumference with evenly distributed short needle tips. It has proven useful to provide each of the massage rings 22 on its circumference with approximately 20 evenly distributed needle tips and to dimension the spacer rings 23 such that a distance of approximately 3 mm is present between the needle tips of two massage rings 22 arranged adjacent to one another on the axis 21 is.

Zweckmäßig ist es, die Länge der Achsen 21 so zu bemessen, daß auf Ihnen bspw. 30 bis 40 Massageringe 22 unter Zwischenschaltung von Distanzringen 23 angeordnet werden können. Der eigentliche Wirkteil des Massagegerätes erhält dadurch eine Längenabmessung, die die gleichmäßige Behandlung größerer Hautflächen oder Reflexzonenbereiche ermöglicht.It is expedient to measure the length of the axes 21 such that, for example, 30 to 40 massage rings 22 can be arranged with the interposition of spacer rings 23. The actual active part of the massage device is given a length dimension that enables the uniform treatment of larger skin areas or reflex zone areas.

In Abweichung von dem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel kann das Massagegerät auch mit nur einer Massageringe 22 tragenden Achse 21 oder aber auch mit mehr als zwei solcher Achsen 21 ausgestattet werden. In jedem Falle haben aber die die Achsen 21 haltenden Flansche 25 des Lagerstücks 24 eine Stärke, die der Breite eines Distanzringes 23 entspricht.In deviation from the exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing, the massage device can also be equipped with an axis 21 carrying only one massage ring 22 or else with more than two such axes 21. In any case, however, the flanges 25 of the bearing piece 24 holding the axes 21 have a thickness which corresponds to the width of a spacer ring 23.
