Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for dispensing a fluid for massaging parts of a user's body.
  • a first type of water-dispensing device or so-called “shower head” is known for directing controlled-temperature water jets onto the user's body, substantially for actual washing purposes.
  • shower stalls are normally also equipped with a "hand-held shower”.
  • Such fixtures are also known to comprise a special second type of water-dispensing device, in which the water has sufficient energy to massage the user's body.
  • the parts of the user's body most commonly massaged are the feet (so-called “foot massage”) or the back and abdominal regions.
  • the foot massage device may hinder the user's movements during normal showering.
  • a back and abdomen massage device normally comprises a number of nozzles formed in an equipped panel made of plastic, obviously on a level with the parts of the body to be massaged.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a water-dispensing device which may be used, at the user's discretion, for massaging any part of the user's body. More specifically, the device according to the invention is particularly suitable for massaging the feet or the back and/or abdomen.
  • the device according to the present invention is also easy to clean and dry, and, when not in use, may be stored easily in any container outside the shower stall.
  • Number 10 in the accompanying drawings indicates a device for dispensing a fluid for massaging parts of a user's body (not shown).
  • Which fluid may be water drawn from a water mains (not shown), in particular a water mains supplying a shower stall.
  • Device 10 comprises a hollow main body 11 substantially elongated along an axis (a).
  • main body 11 is substantially in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped with six faces 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, 11e, 11f.
  • the extension L1 of faces 11a, 11b along axis (a) is much greater than the extension L2 of faces 11c, 11d, 11e, 11f along an axis (b) perpendicular to axis (a).
  • Extension L1 of faces 11a, 11b along axis (a) is also greater than the extension L3 of faces 11e, 11f along an axis (c) perpendicular to both axes (a) and (b).
  • Main body 11, and hence device 10 as a whole, is therefore thin with respect to axis (b), as shown in the accompanying drawings.
  • main body 11 can be supplied inside with a massage fluid, in particular water from a water mains.
  • face 11f of main body 11 has a tubular member 12 for connecting the inside of main body 11 hydraulically to the water mains.
  • Face 11f also has two identical projecting fastening members 13 symmetrical with respect to axis (a).
  • a further through hole 15 is provided between the two through holes 14 to improve manual grip by the user when carrying the device.
  • Each projecting member 13 comprises a stem 13a and a head 13b, such that each projecting member 13 is substantially T-shaped.
  • head 13b Since the whole of device 10 is molded in one piece from elastic material, e.g. silicone rubber, head 13b is readily deformable and can be inserted easily inside respective through hole 14.
  • elastic material e.g. silicone rubber
  • the closed configuration in Figure 2 is especially suitable for use as a foot massage (see below).
  • face 11a has a first area Z1 and a second area Z2, which are symmetrical with respect to axis (c).
  • First area Z1 comprises a number of nozzles 17 combined with a number of massaging elements 18, which project from face 11a on the same side to which pressurized water is supplied.
  • second area Z2 comprises a number of massaging elements 19 identical to those of first area Z1.
  • massaging elements 18 and massaging elements 19 may be of different heights and thicknesses for effective massage.
  • Massaging elements 18, 19 may cover face 11 in patterns other than that shown in the accompanying drawings.
  • portions of second area Z2 may also comprise a number of nozzles similar to nozzles 17.
  • the user To perform a foot massage, the user simply loops device 10 as shown in Figure 2, so that, in use, the soles of the feet (not shown) rest on first area Z1, while the insteps are massaged by rubbing against massaging elements 19 of second area Z2.
  • second area Z2 also comprises a number of nozzles
  • the insteps may also be hydromassaged.
  • device 10 may be used for purposes other than the foot massage shown in Figure 2.
  • device 10 may be used, with no alterations other than in configuration, as an abdominal and/or back massage device, for example.
  • the versatility of device 10 according to the present invention is therefore obvious : when looped (Figure 2), it may be used, for example, as a foot massage device, and, when unfastened into a strip ( Figures 1, 3-6), it may be used for other types of massage, e.g. as an abdomen and/or back massaging device.
