Definitions

  • the invention relates to a massage attachment for a foot care device having a plurality of spherical massage bodies and having a coupling portion for torque-locking connection of the attachment to the movement of a motor-driven drive shaft of seldomnostimonyes, the spherical massage body freely rotatable, each received in a cage of the essay and with a section the cage outstanding body, in particular balls are supported on the underside of an abutment, by which the massage balls are held in their treatment with a section of the cage treatment outstanding position.
  • Massage attachments for foot care devices may have spherical massage bodies as massage elements.
  • these spherical massage bodies are either spherical or knob-like projections of the massage attachment or even mounted in the massage attachment balls.
  • the balls have diametrically opposite and integrally formed on the ball stub axles, which are mounted in the massage attachment.
  • These massage balls are then rotatable about the axis of the stub axles.
  • the latter massage attachments with the rotatably mounted massage balls are used for foot care devices, which have a motor-driven drive shaft, on the free end of this or another massage attachment is torque-attachable. By the drive shaft, the massage attachment is rotatably driven.
  • the axes of rotation of the massage balls are aligned in the radial direction, so that the balls make the rotational movement of the essay with, but by the possible opposite rotational movement to the rotational movement, the friction on the sole to be massaged low hold, at least as long as the foot remains in one and the same position on the massage attachment.
  • a proper movement of the sole of the foot on the massage balls can be achieved through the massage balls
  • such a prior art massage essay can not be compensated.
  • the installation of such a massage attachment is cumbersome because each massage ball must be used in their intended position with their thru axles in a bearing mount.
  • the massage balls themselves are injection-molded plastic parts, since with this manufacturing process, the uncomplicated geometry of the balls provided with stub axles can be realized without further ado. However, this has the disadvantage that only with an unacceptably high cost massage balls can be used from other materials.
  • WO 99/59516 A1 discloses a massage apparatus having a massage head in which a plurality of massage balls are accommodated.
  • the massage balls are each encapsulated in a separate ball holder.
  • the massage balls protrude with a section sticking out.
  • the massage balls receiving insert which in turn is typically used in the massage head, be addressed as a cage.
  • the massage head of this aforementioned massager does not have an abutment against which the massage balls are supported.
  • WO 94/04116 A1 describes a multipurpose steam generator equipped with means for distributing a liquid in the area of the surface to be treated.
  • This device ultimately serves as a massage or massage assistive device.
  • the liquid distribution device has a head in which a plurality of balls are rotatably mounted.
  • the head is constructed in two parts, with its outer shell serving circular openings for passing a portion of the balls provided for the liquid distribution.
  • These balls are supported on the back on a plate for closing the cavity in which the balls are arranged from.
  • this plate forms an abutment for the balls so that they are held in their outstanding position by the openings of the other element of the head.
  • this multipurpose steam generator is not suitable for an intensive massage, in particular not one that is to be carried out with a certain pressure on the surface to be treated.
  • the invention is therefore the object of developing an aforementioned massage essay in such a way that not only its installation is facilitated, but also that also with this intensive massages can be performed with a higher contact pressure.
  • each cage associated abutment is formed by a projecting from a common abutment plate towards the cage abutment extension, of which at least some abutment extensions in their associated cage intervention.
  • the spherical massage body in each case a cage are free and thus rotatably received in any direction.
  • the massage balls are inserted in their respective cage in such a way that they protrude from the cage with a section on the treatment side.
  • the provision of massage balls and their freely rotatable arrangement in a cage has the consequence that even movements of the foot can be compensated by the balls without such a movement of the foot on the massage attachment perceived as unpleasant friction is noticeable.
  • balls are used as the massage body, which are not only inexpensive to manufacture, but also can be easily mounted, since they are to be introduced regardless of a predetermined orientation in the cage. Above all, the massage balls can be made of different materials, for example, stainless steel in this massage essay.
  • the abutment is formed by an abutment plate. This has in the direction of the cage projecting abutment extensions, which support the massage body. At least some of these infiltrate the cages.
  • the abutment extensions can be designed for example as cross ribs.
  • the intervention of at least some abutment extensions in the cages is used in addition to the provision of the lower abutment for the balls and the closure of the cages and for producing a torque-locking connection of the abutment plate with the cages-carrying shell of the massage attachment. This is expedient in an embodiment in which on the abutment plate on the underside protruding the coupling portion is formed, with which the massage attachment is ceremonistecken on the free end of the drive shaft of a montician experts.
  • the cages receiving the massage balls are annular cylindrical sections, formed on a shell of the massage attachment. It is expediently provided to design the upper opening tapered by an inwardly projecting flange, wherein the inside width of this taper is smaller than the diameter of the held in this cage massage ball. This ensures that the massage balls on the treatment side can not escape from the cage.
  • 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 be held on it by appropriately designed latching connection elements.
  • a massage attachment 1 for a foot care device comprises as massage body several massage balls M, the treatment side with a section each of a cage K and in the representation of FIG. 2 protruding from the top.
  • the massage attachment 1 is circular in plan view and comprises an upper convexly curved shell 2, on which the cages K are formed (see FIG. FIG. 2 ).
  • the massage balls M which are stainless steel balls in the illustrated embodiment, are held captive in a respective cage K.
  • the cages K are formed from an annular cylindrical body 3, which protrudes from the convex upper side of the shell 2.
  • the upper terminations of the annular cylindrical body 3 are in the illustrated embodiment in a common plane.
  • the annular cylindrical body 3 have at its upper opening on an inwardly projecting flange 4, through which the inside diameter of the opening is kept smaller than the diameter of the body 3 enclosed massage ball M.
  • the upper shell 2 of the massage attachment 1 carries inside several locking elements. These locking elements are on a downwardly projecting circumferential collar 5 of the shell 2 internally formed locking lugs 6 and two or more each with the same angular distance from each other arranged from the bottom of the shell 2 downwardly projecting locking projections 7.
  • the locking elements 6, 7 serve to hold an abutment plate 8, on which each cage K associated abutment extension 9 is formed projecting upwards.
  • the abutment extensions 9 shown in the illustrated embodiment are designed in the manner of cross ribs. The upper end of the abutment extensions 9 is based on the upper end of the body 3 in such a height that the massage balls M contained in the cages K are pushed out with a portion of the upper opening of the cages K.
  • the abutment extensions 9 form the lower closure of the cages K, so that the massage balls M are captive enclosed in the cages K.
  • the abutment plate 8 engages in the in FIG. 2 shown mounted position, the locking lugs 6 and the hook portion of the latching projections 7, so that the abutment plate 8 forms an objective unit with the shell 2 with the abutment extensions 9.
  • the locking lugs 6 engage behind the abutment plate 8 as well as the hook element of the latching projections 7, which are brought through an opening in the abutment plate 8 engages behind position.
  • the shell 8 is made of plastic, so that for the mounting of 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 have, in particular, no axle extensions, by means of which the rotatability of the massage balls would be limited around an axis of rotation. 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 proper movement of the sole on the massage attachment 1. Therefore, with the massage attachment 1 a particularly pleasant massage, for example, the sole of the foot can be made.
