Definitions

  • the invention relates to a massage attachment for a foot care device with several spherical massage bodies and with a coupling section for the torque-locking connection of the attachment to the movement a motor-driven drive shaft of conveniently termed.
  • Massage attachments for foot care devices for example as part of a foot care device, about a foot bath, can be spherical as massage elements Have massage body.
  • these spherical massage bodies it is either spherical or knob-like projections the massage attachment or even stored in the massage attachment Balls.
  • the balls have diametrically opposite one another and integrally formed on the ball thru axles, in the Massage attachment are stored.
  • These massage balls are then around the Rotatable axle of thru axles.
  • massage attachments with the rotatably mounted massage balls are used for foot care devices used, which have a motor-driven drive shaft on the free end of this or another massage attachment torque-lockable is plugged.
  • the drive shaft is the Massage attachment rotatably drivable.
  • the invention therefore the object of an aforementioned massage attachment develop in such a way that not only its assembly is facilitated, but that also the massage properties are improved.
  • the massage body in each case a cage freely and thus rotatably received in any direction.
  • the massage balls are used in their respective cage in a way and way that with a section treatment side from the Protrude cage.
  • the provision of massage balls and their free rotatable arrangement in a cage has the consequence that also proper movements of the foot can be compensated by the balls without that with such a movement of the foot on the massage attachment a perceived as unpleasant friction is noticeable.
  • massage body balls not only cost-effective in their production, but are also readily assembled can, as these regardless of a given orientation in the Cage are to be introduced. Above all, with this massage essay the massage balls made of different materials, for example also be made of stainless steel.
  • Another advantage of this massage attachment is that an introduction of force, for example, with an attached foot in a foot care device through the massage balls itself and the training of the lower abutment and not - as in the prior art - on the massage balls molded thru axles takes place. Therefore, the described Massage attachment higher in addition to its other advantages mentioned above To withstand forces.
  • the massage balls are receiving Cages ring cylindrical sections, formed on a shell of the massage essay.
  • the upper opening tapers by an inwardly projecting flange to design, the inside width of this taper is smaller than the diameter of the massage ball held in this cage. This is ensured that the massage balls treatment side not from the Cage can escape.
  • an abutment plate To the ball in their respective cage below to close, serves according to one embodiment, an abutment plate, on which the balls are supported on the underside.
  • the abutment plate expediently forms the lower closure of the massage attachment and can at this by appropriately designed latching connection elements be held.
  • the abutment plate carries abutment extensions, at least of which some intervene in the cages.
  • the abutment extensions can be designed for example as cross ribs.
  • the intervention of at least some abutment extensions into the cages serves in addition to providing the lower abutment for the balls and the closure of the Cages also for producing a torque-locking connection of the Abutment plate with the cages carrying shell of the massage attachment.
  • This is expedient in one embodiment, in which at the abutment plate protruding on the underside of the coupling portion is formed, with the massage attachment on the free end of the drive shaft of a responsible confuse serrata.
  • a massage attachment 1 for a foot care device comprises as a massage body several massage balls M, each with a section of one Cage K treatment side and in the illustration of Figure 2 on the top protrude.
  • the massage attachment 1 is circular in plan view and comprises an upper convexly curved shell 2, on which the cages K are formed are (see Figure 2).
  • the massage balls M which in the illustrated Embodiment are stainless steel balls are in each case a cage K held captive.
  • the cages K formed from an annular cylindrical body 3, of the convex Top of the shell 2 protrudes.
  • the upper terminations of the annular cylindrical Body 3 are in the illustrated embodiment in a common plane.
  • the annular cylindrical body 3 indicate its upper opening on an inwardly projecting flange 4, by the clear width of the opening is kept smaller than the diameter the massage ball M enclosed by the body 3
  • the upper shell 2 of the massage attachment 1 carries several inside Locking elements. These locking elements are at one downwardly projecting circumferential collar 5 of the shell 2 inside molded locking lugs 6 and two or more in each case with the same Angular distance from each other arranged, from the bottom of the shell. 2 downwardly projecting latching projections 7.
  • the locking elements 6, 7 serve for Holding an abutment plate 8, to which each cage K assigned Abutment extension 9 is formed projecting upwards.
  • abutment extensions 9 are formed in the manner of cross ribs.
  • the upper end of the abutment extensions 9 is related to the upper end of the body 3 in such a height that contained in the cages K massage balls M with a section from the upper opening of the cages K are pushed out.
  • the abutment extensions 9 form the lower Closure of the cages K so that the massage balls M are captive in the Cages K are included.
  • the abutment plate 8 engages in the in Figure 2 shown mounted position, the locking lugs 6 and the hook portion the latching projections 7, so that the abutment plate 8 with the abutment extensions 9 forms an objective unit with the shell 2.
  • the locking lugs 6 engage behind the abutment plate 8 as well as the hook element the latching projections 7, through an opening in the abutment plate 8 intervening position are brought.
  • the shell 8 is made Made of plastic, so that for mounting the abutment plate 8 the material elastic properties of the shell 2 and thus also the locking elements 6, 7 are used.
  • the massage balls M are freely rotatably mounted in their respective cages K.
  • the massage balls M in particular have no axle extensions on, by the rotation of the massage balls about a rotation axis would be limited. Rather, the massage balls M allow a massage, for example, the sole of the foot by a rotating drive of the massage attachment 1 and a compensation of a simultaneous self-motion the sole of the foot on the massage attachment 1. Therefore, with the massage attachment 1 a particularly pleasant massage for example the Sole be made.
  • the described massage attachment 1 is particularly easy to install.
  • the upside-down shell 2 are inserted into the bodies 3 of the cages K the required massage balls M inserted.
  • the abutment plate 8 inserted into the shell 2 and the locking elements 6, 7th locked.
  • the cages K are underside by the abutment extensions 9 closed.
  • FIG. 3 shows a foot care device 12 comprising a foot bath 13, which is divided by a web 14 into two sub-baths 15, 15 '.
  • the Partial baths 15, 15 ' can be filled with liquid, as shown.
  • the web 14 carries a designated overall by the reference numeral 17 Foot care device, which has an electric motor 18, a drive shaft 19 and the massage attachment 1 of Figures 1 and 2 comprises.
  • the overview half are other required components, such as electrical switches or the like, not shown.
  • the electric motor 18 is rotationally fixed in the fastened by the web 14 formed cavity 20.
  • a coupling piece 21 At the top of the Drive shaft 19 is a coupling piece 21, the radial outer side complementary to the formation of the inside of the coupling portion 10 of the massage attachment 1 is formed.
  • the massage attachment 1 is with its coupling portion 10 releasably connected to the drive shaft 19th connected and can thus easily against another Attachment to be replaced.
  • the article 1 is in his Non-operating position shown.
