Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a skin massage device of the mechanical action type comprising, in combination, means for detaching the subcutaneous connective tissue, acting simultaneously with means for stirring the internal walls of said connective tissue.
  • French Patent No. 1,590,131 proposes to replace the operation of detachment and manual stirring by associated mechanical means and describes a massage device which comprises in combination suction means causing the detachment of the connective tissue and pressure means which allow the internal walls of said connective tissue to be brought into contact, the latter means being dynamic in order to ensure internal mixing in this position.
  • the suction causing the skin to be suctioned is generated by a vacuum pump connected by a flexible hose to a pipe opening into a cell of the device, in which the skin is lodged by suction and which is arranged between two rollers. suitable for stirring the fold of skin thus formed.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these various drawbacks and for this purpose relates to a skin massage device according to claim 1.
  • the skin fold thus formed between the two rollers moves on the skin at the same time as and in the same direction as the latter, which produces a particularly effective massage effect.
  • This massage effect is obtained using very simple means, without suction and very convenient for the user.
  • the massage device 1 designated as a whole, consists of a housing 2 ergonomically designed for a good grip by the user and enclosing for the front AV a first driving roller 3 and towards the rear AR a second driven roller 4.
  • the front and rear rollers 3 and 4 are arranged in a substantially parallel manner between two bearings 3A, 3B and 4A, 4B respectively secured to an element of the housing 2.
  • the device comprises detachment and stirring means constituted precisely by the front rollers 3 and rear 4.
  • the roller 3 constitutes a driving roller thanks to an electric drive motor 5 acting on it by means of a reduction gear train 6, designated as a whole.
  • the diameters and teeth of the pinions A to G are determined according to the gear ratio sought.
  • this ratio will be such as to obtain a speed of rotation of the roller 3 greater than that of the roller 4.
  • the roller 3 is driven in a direction of rotation F1 identical to the direction of rotation F2 of the roller 4 when it is driven, during a movement F of the device, by means of a skin sliding fold 8 , which forms between said rollers 3 and 4 and is housed in a suitable bowl 9 made under the apparatus 1, as soon as it is started.
  • the difference in rotational speed between the front and rear rollers 3 and 4 is obtained by permanent braking of the driven roller 4 by means of friction means 10 acting on the latter 4 according to a determined coefficient of friction.
  • These friction means 10 are constituted by a disc 11 integral in rotation with said roller 4 by means of a pinion 12 in connection with the roller 4 by means 13 disposed on its axis W-W ′.
  • the disc 11 is movable in translation according to a play determined on an axis 14, to come to bear freely on a fixed lining 15 forming a brake shoe, by means of an elastic thrust member 16, such as elastic washer or spring, calibrated according to the friction coefficient to be obtained and having the role of automatic wear compensator for the lining 15.
  • the rear driven roller 4 and the front driving roller 3 are arranged at a variable distance between a distance L corresponding to a first pinch position of the fold 8 and a distance L ′ corresponding to a second, less strong pinch position of said fold 8.
  • adjustment 17 ( Figure 4) disposed, at least in part, on the rear roller 4 and which are constituted by slots 18 formed opposite one another on two opposite end walls 19 articulated on the casing 2 by the yoke 23.
  • the slots 18 in this case comprise two adjustment notches 20 and 21 offset between them angularly and capable of constituting in turn a bearing 4A to a rotation shaft 22 of the rear roller 4.
  • the length of the front roller 3 offers a greater path than that of the rear roller 4.
  • the front 3 and rear 4 rollers consist of a succession of toothed drive elements 3C, 4C of curved longitudinal profile, the cross section of which is inscribed in a circle and comprising an axial housing 23, 24 of shape corresponding to a drive square 23A, 24A formed by the same shaft of the corresponding roller 3, 4, on which said toothed elements 3C, 4C are threaded.
  • the toothed drive elements 3C forming the front driving roller 3 are offset from each other so that each of the 3D teeth of one is arranged between two consecutive teeth (3D) of the other.
  • the toothed drive elements 4C forming the rear roller 4 can also be offset from one another.
  • the operation of the device is based on the following principle: the front roller 3 rotating faster than the rear roller 4, for an imposed direction F of displacement, it is obtained simultaneously by friction, on the one hand the detachment of the tissue for the constitution of a skin fold 8 between said rollers 3, 4, and on the other hand the stirring of the fold 8 thus formed during a translational movement of the device 1 according to F, having the effect to cause the continuous sliding of said fold 8 between the rollers 3, 4 for the massage of a corresponding area of skin.
  • the roller located at the rear of the device is replaced by a member having a fixed surface intended to bear on the skin and adaptable to achieve a friction effect with this skin.
  • the rear roller is rotated at a speed lower than that of the motor 5 which drives the roller 3 located at the front. This also results in a braking effect forming the skin fold between the two rollers.
  • the rear roller is replaced by two rollers driven in rotation by contact with the skin, the axes of these two rollers forming an obtuse angle between them. This arrangement generates, during the movement of the device, friction with the skin which forms the desired skin fold.
