Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for washing the back.
- an elongated, flat pillow is provided, the surface of which is formed on both sides by a long-fiber plush and at the ends of which two strands can be grasped with both hands, by means of which the pillow can be moved in contact with the back.
- the cushion is supposed to be softer and more pliable than a brush with its more or less rigid body. But it should be much stiffer and more physical than even a strong washcloth. Together with the elongated, preferably elongated, flat shape, this enables adaptation to the body curvatures, including the depression between the shoulder blades, with sufficient pressure over the entire surface, although the cushion is only gripped at its ends by the tension cords.
- the bands transfer the force over a relatively large width into the elongated, flat cushion.
- the movement and pressing of the elongated, flat pillow by means of the straps is easy to control, comparable to a continuous belt with the pillow as a broadening and thickening.
- the pillow does not need to be filled if the basic fabric of the plush is sufficiently rigid. It has enough thickness and rigidity even without filling, which could consist of small balls with a dense surface, for example. It should also be avoided that areas of greatly increased pressure arise at which the fibers fold.
- the drawing shows an embodiment of the invention.
- a blank made of thick plush is bent to form an edge 1 and sewn together along its remaining edge 2 to form a pillow 3.
- the cushion 3 has approximately the shape of an elongated rectangle with strongly rounded corners 4.
- two straps 5 are sewn along their entire length.
- the cushion 3 has a width of 8 to 16 cm, preferably about 13 cm, and a total length of 20 to 40 cm, preferably about 37 cm.
- the tapes 5 are preferably about half the width of the cushion 3 and have approximately the same length as this.
- the plush has fibers of a length of about 8 to 10 mm with a stocking density of about 4500 to 8000 per cm2 on a relatively stiff base fabric.
- the fibers have a thickness of 3 to 7 dtex.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Rückenwaschen.The invention relates to a device for washing the back.
Es liegt ihr die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der man sich ohne Hilfe den Rücken waschen und dabei zugleich die Haut durch eine mechanische Behandlung anregen kann, ohne sie jedoch zu schädigen.It is based on the task of creating a device with which one can wash the back without help and at the same time stimulate the skin by mechanical treatment, but without damaging it.
Gemäß der Erfindung ist ein längliches, flaches Kissen vorgesehen, dessen Oberfläche beidseitig durch einen langfaserigen Plüsch gebildet ist und an dessen Enden sich zwei mit den beiden Händen zu fassende Zugstränge anschließen, mittels derer das Kissen in Anlage an dem Rücken verschiebbar ist.According to the invention, an elongated, flat pillow is provided, the surface of which is formed on both sides by a long-fiber plush and at the ends of which two strands can be grasped with both hands, by means of which the pillow can be moved in contact with the back.
Das Kissen soll in sich weicher und schmiegsamer sein als eine Bürste mit ihrem mehr oder weniger starren Grundkörper. Es soll aber wesentlich steifer und körperhafter sein als selbst ein kräftiger Waschlappen. Dies ermöglicht zusammen mit der länglichen, vorzugsweise langgestreckten, flachen Form eine Anpassung an die Körperwölbungen, auch die Einsenkung zwischen den Schulterblättern, und zwar mit genügend Druck auf der gesamten Fläche, obwohl das Kissen nur an seinen Enden durch die Zugstränge gefaßt ist.The cushion is supposed to be softer and more pliable than a brush with its more or less rigid body. But it should be much stiffer and more physical than even a strong washcloth. Together with the elongated, preferably elongated, flat shape, this enables adaptation to the body curvatures, including the depression between the shoulder blades, with sufficient pressure over the entire surface, although the cushion is only gripped at its ends by the tension cords.
Dem dient auch die bevorzugte Wahl breiter Bänder als der genannten Zugstränge. Die Bänder leiten die Kraft auf einer im Verhältnis großen Breite in das längliche, flache Kissen ein. Die Bewegung und das Andrücken des länglichen, flachen Kissens mittels der Bänder ist gut zu beherrschen, vergleichbar einem durchgehenden Riemen mit dem Kissen als einer Verbreiterung und Verdickung.
Mit dem beidseitigen, langfaserigen Plüsch bedarf das Kissen bei einem genügend steifen Grundgewebe des Plüschs keiner Füllung. Es hat auch ohne Füllung, die beispielsweise aus kleinen Kugeln mit dichter Oberfläche bestehen könnte, Dicke und Steifigkeit genug. Es soll auch vermieden werden, daß Stellen stark erhöhten Druckes entstehen, an denen sich die Fasern umlegen.This is also served by the preferred choice of wider belts than the mentioned pull strands. The bands transfer the force over a relatively large width into the elongated, flat cushion. The movement and pressing of the elongated, flat pillow by means of the straps is easy to control, comparable to a continuous belt with the pillow as a broadening and thickening.
With the double-sided, long-fiber plush, the pillow does not need to be filled if the basic fabric of the plush is sufficiently rigid. It has enough thickness and rigidity even without filling, which could consist of small balls with a dense surface, for example. It should also be avoided that areas of greatly increased pressure arise at which the fibers fold.
