Definitions

  • Such a support or such a part of the plant intended for the body-close arrangement to the person to be treated has, according to the invention, a rust-like or mat-like supporting body, which has to be arranged with a side facing the body of the person to be treated, such as a body contact side, in order to achieve favorable effects and is provided with air outlet openings so that the exiting air has stimulating stimuli in the person to be treated.
  • a particularly advantageous development of the subject matter of the invention is that a plurality of supporting projections of a supporting body or a supporting element, in particular those which are adjacent to one another, are integrally connected to one another, so that on the one hand simple manufacture and on the other hand a secure connection to the supporting body even with small cross sections results.
  • all of the support projections of a support element or of a support body can be connected to one another in one piece, or support projections that lie in at least one row one behind the other can be connected to one another via a band-shaped connecting section via which the support projections protrude to the contact side.
  • the one-piece connection or the connecting section is not set back on the contact side of the support body, but rather with respect to it, in particular on its underside.
  • the openings which could be blind-hole-like depressions on the contact side of the supporting body, are advantageously designed as openings or through-openings, which expediently have constant cross sections over their entire axial extent and their axial extent approximately in the order of magnitude the thickness of the connecting section or the dimension by which the support projections protrude beyond the contact side.
  • the wall of the support projection can be designed so that it is dome-shaped in axial section.
  • the shape of the supporting projection or the dome shape is expediently chosen so that the supporting projection always springs back monostably elastically into its starting position, namely into its supporting position projecting over the contact side, and does not find another self-retaining position in the pressed-in position.
  • the support body or the support elements can expediently at least partially form air-guiding or air-guiding cavities, such as e.g. Lines of approximately constant cross-section, for which the support elements as cassettes, profiles or the like. can be formed, which are closed in cross-section over the circumference, possibly up to the outlet openings and inlet connections.
  • air-guiding or air-guiding cavities such as e.g. Lines of approximately constant cross-section, for which the support elements as cassettes, profiles or the like. can be formed, which are closed in cross-section over the circumference, possibly up to the outlet openings and inlet connections.
  • Air outlet openings can, for example, be provided in a ring around the central axis of the respective support projection in this and / or directly adjacent to its periphery.
  • longitudinal edges of the support body or the support elements can be very easily to avoid sharp edges, to achieve soft support surfaces compared to the bathtub or the like.
  • Both the support projections which can be partially different or preferably all the same, as well as the edge protection profiles are expediently formed by injection-molded parts made of plastic, which directly on the support body or the respective support element, for example in are molded together in one operation, so that there is a particularly tight and play-free attachment of the respective injection molded part with simple manufacture.
  • the air distribution pad 1 according to FIGS. 1 to 4 which can also be dimensioned as a pure foot pad for a foot treatment or for the treatment of other limited body areas, is used for arrangement on the floor of a water-filled bathtub, whereby it is expedient essentially over the stretches the entire length of the tub floor and also a backrest part for the arrangement on the sloping may have rising back wall of the bathtub.
  • the base 1 is essentially formed by a rust or mat-shaped, but essentially inherently stable support body 2, which is formed in one piece or can be composed of mat members 3 which are hinged to one another in the longitudinal direction and can be composed of approximately the same size, so that the base can be stored in a packet-like manner , can be folded in an angle or U-shape or similar. In the example shown, three mat members 3 are provided for the bottom of the bathtub.
  • an air inlet connection 5 is provided approximately in the middle of the width thereof for the connection of a flexible air hose, which connects the base 1 to a base unit for the air supply which is outside the bath tub and has a compressed air blower.
  • the support body 1 is provided with substantially continuous lengthways and also essentially in its longitudinal direction, for example rectilinear air channels 6, which can be formed by tubular profiles or molded into the support body 1.
  • the air channels 6 are connected to the support body 2, for example with support elements 7 lying between them and on the outer longitudinal sides of the support body 2, wherein the support elements 7 can be formed by separate components or can be formed in one piece with the air channels 6.
  • Each mat member 3 forms a self-contained support body, but the air channels 6 can pass in one piece over the entire length of the base 1.
  • the support elements of the support body 2 or of the respective mat member 3 can, as shown, be formed in a rod-shaped straight line and, for example, by separate extruded profile sections or at their ends by correspondingly separate or in one piece cross frames formed with them can be connected to one another like a grid, or their connection can only take place via the air channels 6.
  • the support body 2 or the mat members 3 form a plant side 8 which is essentially at the top for the person using the base. Passages for the blower air supplied to the underlay 1 are provided in this plant side essentially evenly distributed over the entire base area of the underlay 1, in the exemplary embodiment shown these passages being formed directly by air outlet openings 9 which, in the manner of perforations, form the upper walls of the air ducts 6 enforce.
  • the support projections 10 lie between adjacent longitudinal rows of outlet openings 9 and can also be provided in such longitudinal rows with an intermediate distance which is approximately in the order of magnitude of their outer width or their outer diameter.
  • Each support projection 10 which in the illustrated embodiment is circular in plan view, but can also be oval, approximately rectangular or square, triangular or similar, forms a projection plate 11 projecting relatively flat over the contact side 8 of the associated support element 7, with its one
  • the end face essentially forms the entire surface, which is expediently upwardly curved contact surface 31 for the body of the person to be treated.
  • the lower end face of the projection plate 11 is immediately adjoined by a shaft 12 which is only slightly reduced in outer diameter and is very short which, with its outer circumference, forms the bottom surface of a radially outwardly open annular groove 13 and, at its end remote from the projection plate 11, merges into a connecting section 14 which is also formed in one piece with it but is band-shaped.
  • Each support projection 10 is designed in the manner of a dome-like spring membrane in that it is provided from its side facing away from the contact surface 31 with an approximately spherical cap-shaped cavity 17, the radius of curvature of which is substantially smaller than that of the contact surface 31.
  • the support projection 10 forms a membrane-like end wall 18 of different thickness, namely increasing radially outwards from the center of the contact surface 31, which is approximately the same in its thinnest area as the thickness of the plate projection 10, while in the area of the shaft 12 it is the total thickness of the projection plate 11, shaft 12 and connecting section 14 corresponds.
  • the hollow 17 passing through the connecting section 14 and the hollow shaft 12 has its greatest width on the essentially flat underside of the connecting section 14.
  • the support element 7 is expediently the same basic shape as the projection plate 11, namely at for example, circular or cylindrical basic shape having opening 19 is provided, the edge 20 of which engages radially and / or axially essentially without play in the annular groove 13.
  • All of the support projections 10 of the respective support element 7, including their shafts and the connection element (s) 14, are molded directly onto this support element in a single injection molding operation, so that the support element itself, namely at least in the region of the opening 19 or the edge 20, forms the injection mold and there is a very firm connection.
  • the support elements 7 themselves suitably consist of plastic, but from a much harder material than the support projections 10, namely, for example, from hard PVC, PA, PP or ABS.
  • Additional functional parts of the base 1 can be molded onto the support projections 10 or onto the connecting section 14, namely, for example, feet protruding downwards, suction cups for the connection to the tub floor or the like. These functional parts are then expediently located between adjacent support projections 10. If, according to FIGS. 1 to 4, only one longitudinal row of support projections 10 is provided per support element 7, the width or the diameter of the respective support projection 10 is expediently greater than one third of the width of the support element .
