Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the invention also provides that the axles are mounted in the bearing eyes with little play.
  • the single figure of the drawing shows an embodiment of the massage device in a perspective view.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
