Definitions
- the subject of the innovation is a massage device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Various massage devices in particular in the form of massage chairs, have already become known, but none of them could achieve a satisfactory massage.
- the control of the individual massage elements in these known massage devices was complex, difficult to implement, expensive and prone to failure.
- the object of the present innovation is therefore to provide a massage device, in particular a massage chair, which can achieve a better massage effect with simple technical means.
- the new massage device is integrated in the backrest of the massage chair.
- massage units can be moved perpendicular to the direction of travel of the massage carriage on the massage carriage which can be moved along a base frame.
- This embodiment achieves the essential advantage that a massage can take place not only in one direction, but in two directions. So z. B. the massage carriage can be moved in one direction along the base frame while the massage units move on the massage carriage in a direction perpendicular thereto.
- the massage units are preferably moved via a spindle with an associated drive motor. It is provided here that the massage units either in the same direction, i. H. both in the same direction, or in opposite directions, d. H. approach each other.
- the opposite direction of travel of the massage elements has the advantage that a massage always takes place away from the backbone and towards the backbone of the user. This leads to an increased relaxing effect.
- the massage units each carry a massage head, which is provided with rotatable rollers opposite one another in pairs.
- the massage head of each massage unit is now pressed against the back of the user and then moved.
- the rollers of the massage head lie on the back of the user through the cover of the backrest and thus lead to a pleasant, massaging and relaxing effect.
- a massage finger is additionally provided, which is preferably arranged in the middle of the massage head. This massage finger can either be set to function in addition to the movement of the massage units or can only be used in the local area, without a method or with only a small method of the massage units and the massage vehicle.
- the massage finger is driven by an assigned motor and an eccentric.
- the massage head with its associated add-on parts, the motor, the eccentric, the massage finger and the connecting part connecting these components can be displaced perpendicular to the plane of the massage vehicle arranged. It is reset by a compression spring.
- the compression spring is arranged so that the massage head is pressed forward towards the back of the user.
- the base frame can be provided with sensors. These sensors enable the user to make the vertical movement of the massage carriage on the base frame in a certain back area.
- vibration elements in the form of a motor with an imbalance and a heater in the backrest are also provided.
- the seat and / or footrest This increases the relaxing effect of the massage chair.
- a cover is provided on the backrest in order to adjust the massage effect, in particular to dampen massage strokes which are perceived as too violent.
- This cover can either be folded up and back so that it can be removed, or it is inserted into a corresponding pocket on the backrest.
- any material that has previously been used in the furniture industry can be used be, e.g. B. leather, synthetic leather, plastic, fabric etc.
- the shape of the base frame is ergonomically curved and thus adapted to the back of the user.
- the massage device is preferably operated via simple manual operation.
- the functions can be selected individually or in combination.
- the individual motors are designed as low-voltage DC motors. This is optimal in terms of safety.
- the foot and backrests can also be adjusted by motor.
- An individual adjustment of the seat and leg support is also possible.
- the massage chair 1 consists essentially of the backrest 2, the seat 3, the footrest 4 and the armrests 5.
- a pocket 40 can be attached to the backrest 2, which can serve to accommodate the cover already mentioned.
- Control elements 6 are provided on the massage chair 1 for adjusting the backrest 2 such as the footrest 4 and for actuating the massage elements.
- the base frame 9 consists essentially of two tubes 7,8. As can not be seen from this plan view, these tubes 7, 8 are bent and thus adapted to the shape of the spine.
- a massage carriage 10 can be moved in the direction of the arrows 11, 12 on the base frame 9.
- the massage carriage 10 carries two massage units 13, 14 which can be moved in the direction of the arrows 15, 16. It is provided here to move the massage units against each other, so that when the massage unit 13 is moved in the direction of the arrow 15, the massage unit 14 is moved in the direction of the arrow 16, that is to say in the opposite direction.
- the massage carriage 10 consists essentially of two support tubes 17, 18, which are connected via a central element 19.
- the middle element 19 is rigid here the support tubes 17, 18 arranged.
- the massage carriage 10 is fastened to the base frame 9 via rollers 38, 39 (FIG. 5).
- the method of the massage units 13, 14 is implemented via a spindle 20.
- the spindle 20 is driven by a wheel 23 by a motor, not shown, and is rotatably and displaceably mounted in the central element 19.
- the spindle has two areas 21, 22 with opposing threads.
- the base frame 9 here carries a plurality of sensors 27, by means of which the massage carriage 10 can be moved automatically in a specific area of the base frame 9.
- the massage head 24 carries four rollers 28, which are each formed in pairs opposite one another.
- the rollers are rotatably arranged in the massage head 24.
- the massage head is attached to a tube 32 which carries a connection for the motor 26 at its opposite end.
- the massage finger 25 is arranged displaceably in the arrow directions 34, 35.
- the massage finger 25 is driven by the motor 26 and an eccentric disk 29 and an arm 30.
- the entire unit consisting of these components is displaceably mounted in a receptacle 33 in the direction of the arrows 34, 35.
- the return to the foremost position is carried out by means of a compression spring 31.
- the massage head 24 is provided with four recesses 36 for receiving the rollers 28 and with associated bores for receiving the respective axes, as well as with a central recess 37 for receiving the massage finger 25.
- FIG. 5 shows a further sectional view, on the one hand showing the mounting of the massage carriage 10 on the base frame 9 with the aid of the rollers 38, 39, and on the other hand showing the displacement of the massage head 24 with the associated attachments in the direction of the arrows 34, 35.
- the massage chair shown With the massage chair shown, it is now possible to move the massage carriage perpendicular to the base frame and at the same time to move the massage units perpendicularly to it.
- the massage fingers can be set in motion. This results in a multitude of different massage options, with either the entire back or only individual, selectively controllable partial areas being massaged.
- the construction is simple and reliable.
