Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a massage device with actions multiple.
  • patent FR-A-2 612 395 describes a massage device comprising a housing manually operable by the practitioner and connected to a source of vacuum above the rollers in a chamber even the head.
  • the ripples of the skate can take different linear forms or circular.
  • This invention relates to having electrodes in surface so as to allow the passage of current which promotes penetration of products, this in synchronization with the beating of the membrane.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a massage device with multiple actions combined, allowing movement in all directions and authorizing all simultaneous combinations of different massage actions.
  • the device is of simplified constitution, which makes it reliable and its arrangement with a small number of elements makes it little cumbersome.
  • the massage device comprising at minus a massage head with a housing and a chamber connected to a unit central vacuum unit, characterized in that the unit depression is of the alternative depression type and in that a plinth is arranged in the chamber so as to cause a beat of the skin against this base under the effect of alternative depression.
  • the base is carried by a plate secured to a shaft of a gear motor by an eccentric connection interface, in particular with elastomer pads, liable to undergo deformations in a plane parallel to plane P passing through the free peripheral edge of the chamber.
  • the gear motor includes means for adjusting the speed of rotation.
  • the means of alternative depression include a diaphragm pump, with a further development driven by a motor fitted with a variator.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a base 10, rolling, supporting a central unit 12 equipped with two massage heads, one 14 of mixed type and the other 16 of the single depression type.
  • the central unit is supplied with electrical energy by a cord 18 capable of being connected to the network.
  • FIG. 2 the contents of the central unit 12 and the head 14 are shown. mixed massage.
  • the mixed massage head 14 comprises a casing 20, in the form substantially conical, delimiting a lower chamber 22 and a housing 24 superior.
  • the lower chamber 22 is open and includes a wall 26 rigid peripheral, of substantially circular shape in the mode of shown achievement.
  • This peripheral wall 26 is provided on its free edge peripheral of a lip 28 which facilitates movement on the skin as this will be explained later, thus forming a bell.
  • This wall is also equipped with a through hole 30 which allows to relate the interior of the room to the exterior.
  • a plate 32 occupies a large part of the volume of this chamber 22.
  • This plate comprises at its lower part a rigid base 34 which is integral with it and which includes deformations 36 also rigid, in the form of hemispheres in the embodiment shown , said hemispheres each having their pole tangent to the plane P passing through the peripheral free edge of the chamber 22.
  • a base may be metallic, made of plastic or of a material such as silicone for better comfort. In the case of silicone, the stiffness must be sufficient to play the role of anvil as will be explained later.
  • the plate 32 is connected to the casing 20 by pads 38 made of elastomer capable of undergoing deformations in a plane parallel to the plane P.
  • an eccentric connection interface 40 is integral for one part of this plate and the other of a shaft 42 for driving a gear motor 44, disposed above the lower chamber 22, in the housing 24.
  • An electrical conductor 45 supplied with 12V enters the housing 24 sealingly through a plug 46.
  • a vacuum tube 48 opens into chamber 22 lower. It is connected by an umbilical tube 50 to the central unit 12.
  • the umbilical tube 50 is equipped with means 52 for adjusting the flow of the depression and extends to means 54 for depression, in in this case a diaphragm pump fitted with a motor 56 with a electronic speed variator 57, the assembly being mounted on a frame 58 fixed on anti-vibration feet 60.
  • This pump rejects the air sucked in 62 in the form of suction / discharge generated by the membrane system.
  • a transformer 64 allows the network voltage to be reduced to low voltage values of 12V in this case, avoiding the risk of shock electric for both the practitioner and the patient, in the event of a fault insulation.
  • a single head 16 is provided depression which is of smaller dimensions so as to allow the treatment of areas with small areas.
  • This head has a chamber with a peripheral edge provided with a lip just like the room 22 but has no other mobile element.
  • This head is supplied from the same means 54 for setting vacuum and a three-way valve 66 allows to isolate one or the other of the two heads by feeding the one that remains.
  • the practitioner When the practitioner wishes to perform a simple massage and this for an area with a small area, it switches the three-way valve 66 to isolate the mixed head 14 and to depressurize the chamber of the head 16 simple.
  • Depression causes slight deformation of the skin located under the head, to the right of the room. This depression has the effect of dilate the different channels of the epidermis and activate circulation. This is reinforced by the fact that the practitioner exercises movements in different directions even circular or elliptical depending on the arrangement of areas, so as to get the best possible efficiency.
  • the mixed head according to the present invention achieves this result.
  • This action provides a larger head which is subjected to an adjustable vacuum through the means 52 for adjusting the alternative vacuum flow.
  • This head can therefore be used as the head 16 single depression but with greater efficiency due to its dimensions, which facilitates the treatment of large areas.
  • the hole 30 formed in the wall 26 of chamber 22 can be closed at will by the practitioner. This facilitates removal of the head without causing a suction effect and allows positioning on a different area from the first.
  • the practitioner can also use the orbital massage function and for this, it can put the gear motor 44 into service. This rotates the plate 32 which in turn drives the base 34 and thanks to the deformations 36, provides an elliptical massage action when the practitioner provides simultaneously at least one movement of the head in translation.
  • the practitioner can suppress depression by releasing the orifice 30 when the massage action must be released, this depending on expertise.
  • the massage head according to the present invention also allows a another type of action is a simultaneous tapping massage.
  • the means of depressurization are of the alternative type since it is a diaphragm pump 54.
  • the skin is thus subjected to successive cycles of depression / rupture of depression, depending on the pump operating frequency.
  • the skin is flapped against the base 34, which ensures a tapping of the skin against deformations 36 of the base which plays a role anvil.
  • Such an action further gently improves the circulation action and therefore improves the massaging action.
  • the means 52 for adjusting the vacuum allow even for a high frequency of working under low depression.
  • gear motor 44 is also fitted with a variator (not shown for a good reading of the drawings), it is also possible to make vary the speed of the orbital movement, thus providing the practitioner with an adjustment optimal of the different parameters and the different actions combined, in depending on the patient and the result sought.
  • any equivalent means can be retained as a continuous vacuum source with a floating valve or an obturating membrane with an opening calibrated by a spring which will beat in depression function to generate alternating depression / rupture of depression.
