Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved massage device allowing massages to be carried out in a simple and effective manner exercises on the patient, who can be a human being as well as an animal (horses, cattle ...), an action of aspiration and mobilization of the skin tissue.
  • the devices described in these latter documents consist essentially of two rollers mounted on a housing according to parallel axes, which can be mounted either with fixed center distance or with variable center distance, can be positively rotated, said housing being connected to means comprising a conduit whose end opens into the space included between the rollers, creating a depression which tends to suck the skin of so that it forms a fold on which the rollers exert a pinch.
  • a new type of massage device which, just like devices of the type previously mentioned, allows to exert a suction action and mobilization of skin tissue with high efficiency and which is also much more manageable, flexible to use and pleasant for the patient. Otherwise, such a device also offers the possibility of instant 360 ° action as well a practically non-existent friction on the skin making the sensation of much more pleasant massage.
  • the housing is constituted by a monobloc assembly comprising an internal chamber connected to a suction source and which forms a transverse light open to its ends, intended to bear against the patient's body, the active elements being mounted on the side walls of the housing by closing the side openings from the room.
  • the active elements are constituted, by example, of two discs mounted free in rotation around a shaft carried by the housing.
  • the suction produced inside of the chamber is obtained by means of a plurality of conduits which open out in the upper wall of said chamber.
  • the lower edges of the light can be straight, it can be considered having an internal chamber configuration such as the edges lower forming the light are concave or convex or other. Moreover, he can also be considered to mount inside the roller chamber cross-cutting assets acting similarly to the teachings of the patents cited above in the name of the Inventor.
  • this suction circuit will include a solenoid valve produced in accordance with the teachings of the patent application WO 95/09596 which makes it possible to obtain not only operation in whole or in nothing, but also a control flow of the air fluid between two values predetermined, with possibility of adjustment between said values, allowing obtain a "sequential, pulsating, rhythmic" operation, such as during the massage operation, the suction rate varies cyclically.
  • the massage device which makes it possible to exert on the patient an action of aspiration and mobilization of skin tissue, is therefore in the form of a whole, designated by the general reference (1), operable manually, and which is connected permanently or removable via a conduit (2) to a source not shown.
  • This set (1) is in the form of a housing (3) which has an internal chamber (4) open on its face intended to be in contact with the patient's body, chamber which is associated with means allowing to exert a mechanical action on the skin fold formed inside said chamber during the massage operation.
  • the suction chamber (4) extends transversely over the entire width of the housing and is open at both ends side.
  • the dimensions of this room will be adapted according to the type of massage you want to perform, for example treatment on a large area or on the contrary on a very localized area, treatment of subjects of morphology different, for example children, adults, animals ....
  • a range of devices including the width of the housing between 1 cm and 10 cm, and the opening of the slot between 1 cm and 6 cm, allows practically to deal with any type of subject and any area of the body.
  • Figures 2, 3 and 4 illustrate a massage head conforming to the invention substantially on a scale 1 of medium size.
  • the lower edges (5,6) of the chamber will preferably be rounded by so as to facilitate the formation of the skin fold.
  • the means which make it possible to exert the mechanical action consist of two mobile assemblies (7,8) arranged laterally of each side of the housing (3), bearing against the side walls, in a sealed manner, and which close the side openings of the suction chamber (4).
  • the housing (3) is advantageously presents in the form of a one-piece assembly, the elements assets (7,8) advantageously consisting of two disks mounted free in rotation around axes (9) carried by the housing (3), the assembly being carried out conventionally by means of suitable bearings and bearings.
  • the diameter of the discs will generally be between 1 cm and 12 cm, which allows to realize a complete range of devices allowing to treat any what type of subject and any area of the body.
  • the upper limit of 12 cm given above is however not limiting and it can be envisaged to have a larger disc diameter.
  • the suction inside the chamber to form the skin fold is formed through one or more conduits (10) which open into the upper wall (11) of the bedroom (4).
  • these conduits are four in number, are oriented orthogonally to the wall (11) of the chamber and open into a common conduit (12) connected to the suction source.
  • Such a device design therefore makes it possible to obtain an action on the fold.
  • cutaneous as during the massage operation under the combined action of the suction and the speed of advance against the patient's body, a fold is formed which rolls up and down and on the side faces of which the discs are supported (7,8), discs which are rotated and which therefore accompany the displacement of the fold, practically eliminating any friction phenomenon when skin surface.
  • such a device not only allows get a "touch-roll” type massage, but has greater maneuverability by the presence of lateral and independent mobile support zones. he it was found that the movement of the device against the patient's body was ease and the massage feeling was more pleasant, painless, reduced friction on the skin.
