Abstract

Ein Massageaufsatz 1 für ein Fußpflegegerät mit einer motorisch rotierend angetriebenen Antriebswelle A, welcher Massageaufsatz 1 einen Kupplungsabschnitt 3 zum drehmomentschlüssigen Verbinden des Massageaufsatzes 1 mit der Antriebswelle des Fußpflegegerätes sowie eine Anordnung zum Umsetzen der über das Kupplungsstück 3 empfangenen rotierenden Bewegung in eine sich zur rotierenden Antriebsbewegung unterscheidende Bewegung eines eine Hubbewegung ausübenden und durch die Anordnung angetriebenen Massageelements 15 aufweist, ist dadurch bestimmt, dass der Massageaufsatz 1 über ein einziges Massageelement 15 verfügt, das gegenüber einer Drehbewegung des angetriebenen Kupplungsabschnittes 3 festgelegt ist und dass die Anordnung zum Umsetzen der rotierenden Bewegung des Kupplungsabschnittes 3 in eine Antriebsbewegung für das Massageelement 15 eine mehrere Rollen 6 umfassende Rollenanordnung aufweist, deren Rollen 6 sich auf einer Steuerkurve 23 mit einer wellenförmigen Steuerkurvenoberfläche abstützen, wobei durch die rotierende Antriebsbewegung die Rollenanordnung und die Steuerkurve 23 drehend relativ zueinander bewegt werden, so dass infolge der Abstützanordnung zwischen den Rollen 6 der Rollenanordnung und der Steuerkurve 23 das Massageelement 15 zum Ausüben einer oszillierenden Hubbewegung angetrieben wird.

Figure 00000001
A massage attachment 1 for a foot care device with a motor-driven drive shaft A, which massage attachment 1 a coupling portion 3 for torque-connecting the massage attachment 1 to the drive shaft of Fußpflegegerätes and an arrangement for converting the received over the coupling piece 3 rotating movement in a for rotating drive movement distinguishing movement of a lifting movement exerting and driven by the arrangement massage element 15 is determined by the fact that the massage attachment 1 has a single massage element 15 which is fixed against a rotational movement of the driven coupling portion 3 and that the arrangement for implementing the rotating movement of Coupling portion 3 in a drive movement for the massage element 15 has a plurality of rollers 6 comprehensive roller assembly, the rollers 6 on a control cam 23 with a wavy Steuerku support rvenoberfläche, wherein the roller assembly and the control cam 23 are rotatably moved relative to each other by the rotating drive movement, so that as a result of the support arrangement between the rollers 6 of the roller assembly and the control cam 23, the massage element 15 is driven to exert an oscillating lifting movement.
