Definitions

  • the present invention relates to massage devices, especially the face.
  • Static massage members are known at the end of a handle.
  • Licences US 5,673,455 , US 5,020,182 , US 4,508,108 and US 4,463,485 disclose devices of this type.
  • the subject of the invention is a massage device, comprising a fabric or a foam, each held on a support giving them a flat shape.
  • Dynamic massage devices comprising balls or rollers are also known.
  • Licences EP 092 449 and US 4,427,001 disclose devices of this type.
  • patent EP 1 059 047 discloses an applicator having an articulated head.
  • the demand FR 2 872 686 describes a handle for a cosmetic product applicator comprising two symmetrical recessed surfaces, defining an orifice.
  • the invention aims to provide a massage device which is both comfortable to use, simple construction, hygienic and which allows in particular to treat areas of small extent, belonging for example to the face.
  • the massage action can be performed with or without product application.
  • the presence of the frame gives the massage member a great flexibility and also allows the user to exert, if desired, a pressure on the massage member, the side opposite the massage surface. The user can thus perform a massage more or less energetic, depending on the pressure exerted.
  • the massage member can also be made so as to allow the user to stretch by exerting a thrust through the frame, to have for example a smaller contact area with the region to be treated.
  • the massage member is arranged in such a way that its deformation by the user contributes to stiffening it.
  • the frame advantageously has a closed contour and a circular shape for example. Such a shape may facilitate attachment of a domed massage member having a convex massage surface to the outside.
  • the handle can be non-deformable.
  • the handle can be other than a clamp.
  • the device may be devoid of articulation between the frame and the body of the handle.
  • the frame and the body can each be monolithic.
  • the handle is bent and the frame extends substantially in a plane making an angle strictly less than 90 ° with the longitudinal axis of the body of the handle, better an angle between 1 ° and 80 °, better still between 5 ° and 15 °.
  • the massage surface is advantageously located on the side of the longitudinal axis of the body of the handle, which improves ergonomics for treating facial areas.
  • the massage member may comprise a membrane, which is for example elastic, being for example made of an elastomeric material. This can facilitate the washing of the massage member.
  • the elastomeric material may be cellular or non-cellular.
  • the massage member is for example made at least partially, or entirely, especially in the case where the massage member is a membrane, silicone, nitrile, butyl, latex, vulcanizable elastomer or thermoplastic, SIS, SBS, SEBS, polyester elastomer, including Hytrel ® , polyamide elastomer, Pebax ® , EPDM elastomer, Santoprene ® , elastomer PVC or EVA, this list is not exhaustive.
  • the membrane can be full, that is to say without any through-holes. It may have reliefs other than micro-reliefs, due for example to the weaving of a fabric.
  • the side of the massage member opposite the massage surface may be concave.
  • the membrane may be provided, on the side of the massage surface, with an attached structure, for example a net, a foam, a textile or a nonwoven.
  • the membrane may have a general shape extending beyond the frame.
  • the membrane has for example a generally domed shape, with or without undulations.
  • the massage surface can have reliefs, which can be distributed on it regularly or not.
  • the reliefs may have an abrasive character, if any.
  • the massage member may comprise pins.
  • the massage member may be fixed by overmoulding on the handle.
  • the massage member can still be glued or welded to the handle.
  • the massage member may be interchangeable, being for example fixed by snapping on the handle.
  • the massage member may comprise, on the opposite side to the massage surface, a finger allowing the user to deform the massage surface.
  • This finger can be centered or eccentric.
  • the user can in particular press the finger in the axis thereof to stretch the massage member and / or tilt the finger to change the general appearance of the massage member.
  • the device may comprise, on the opposite side to the massage surface, a rigid or semi-rigid intermediate piece enabling the user, by pressing on the latter, to deform the massage member, the intermediate massage piece being able to deform significantly when the user presses on it.
  • the intermediate piece is for example separated from the handle and retained on the device being attached to the massage member for example or retained between the frame and the membrane.
  • the intermediate piece may be non-full.
  • the intermediate piece may not be applied over the entire face of the membrane, having for example a star shape.
  • the device may comprise a second massage member, for example at another end of the handle, this second massage member being rotatable.
  • the body of the handle does not include a product reservoir and the device does not include a vibrator. It can be different.
  • the subject of the invention is also a massage method in which the massage member of a massage device as defined above is applied to a region of the body or of the face and in which it is optionally supported with at least one finger on the massage member, on the opposite side to the massage surface.
  • the massage device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 comprises a handle 2 having a body 11 forming a handle, elongate along a longitudinal axis X, and a head formed of a frame 3 supporting a massage member 4 which projects beyond the frame 3.
  • the body 11 is of generally flattened shape in the example under consideration, being of solid cross section.
  • the handle 2 can be made in a relatively rigid or flexible material, and bend or not to use.
  • the frame 3 keeps a substantially constant orientation relative to the body 11, given the absence of articulation between the two.
  • the frame 3 has a closed contour and a generally circular shape when viewed from the front, extending along a plane P making an angle ⁇ with the longitudinal axis X included for example in 1 ° and 80 ° for example, close to 10 °.
  • the massage member 4 comprises in the example in question an elastomeric membrane, fixed at its periphery to the frame 3, having a generally convex shape towards the axis X, as can be seen in FIG. 2.
  • the membrane 4 defines a massage surface 6 generally convex, provided with reliefs 7, and a recessed surface 8 on which the user can press with the finger, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the membrane 4 can deform elastically to fit the shape of the treated area, as shown in Figure 3.
  • the membrane 4 may be fixed in various ways on the handle 2 and the frame 3 may for example be overmoulded on the membrane, or vice versa. Alternatively, it can be fixed by welding or gluing on the frame 3 or held thereon by a holding member, as described below.
  • the massage member 4 is configured to attach itself interchangeably to the handle 2, for example by virtue of being snapped onto the frame 3.
  • the massage member 4 can comprise its periphery a bead 9 arranged to snap into an annular groove 10 formed on the radially inner surface of the frame 3.
  • the removable attachment of the massage member 4 may allow the user to have a single handle 2 and several massage members 4 having different characteristics, the user can choose the massage member 4 suitable for a particular body or facial area and / or a type of treatment to be performed, eg, blood circulation stimulation, lymphatic drainage, dermoabrasion or application of a product.
  • the massage members 4 associated with the handle 2 have, for example, different reliefs 7.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates the possibility for the handle 2 to include a removable frame 3, the massage member 4 being able in this case to be non-detachably connected to the frame 3.
  • the user can thus replace a frame 3 provided with a massage member 4 given by another frame 3 provided with a different massage member.
  • the frame 3 can for example be fixed removably on the body 11 of the handle by cooperating reliefs 12 and 13.
  • the massage member 4 with an attachment portion 40, such as for example a relatively rigid ring, arranged to be fixed removably to the frame 3, for example by screwing .
  • an attachment portion 40 such as for example a relatively rigid ring
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 show an alternative embodiment in which the massage member 4 comprises, on the opposite side to the massage surface 6, a finger 16 which can be operated by the user to enable him to deform the massage member 4.
  • the user can thus, by manipulating the finger 16 with the thumb or index finger for example, give the massage surface 6 a particular shape, adapted to the region to be treated.
  • the user can still press the finger 16 to exert pressure with the massage member 4 on the region to be treated.
  • the device 1 comprises an intermediate piece 18, on the opposite side to the massage surface 6, on which the user can press to deform the massage member 4.
  • This intermediate piece 18 is example retained between a rib 40 of the frame 3 and the massage member 4.
  • the radially inner edge of the rib 40 defines the opening of the frame.
  • the intermediate piece 18 may have very different shapes and in particular do not completely cover the face facing the massage member.
  • the intermediate piece 18 may have a star shape, for example.
  • Different reliefs 7 may be made on the massage surface 6, depending on the desired result, and these may be in the form of half-spheres as shown in Figure 2 or pins as shown in Figure 11.
  • the massage surface 6 may comprise reliefs of different shapes, as illustrated in FIG. 13.
  • the distribution of the reliefs 7 may be regular on the massage surface 6 or be irregular, as shown in FIG. 14.
  • the massage member may have corrugations 23, as illustrated in FIG.
  • the reliefs 7 may extend in different directions when the massage member is at rest.
  • the reliefs 7 may have various configurations when the massage member is observed from above, in particular being arranged in a non-concentric or concentric manner, as illustrated in FIG.
  • the reliefs 7 may be made by molding material with the massage member 4, especially when the latter comprises an elastomeric membrane.
  • the massage member 4 may comprise an elastically deformable cellular membrane constituted by a foam, as illustrated in FIG. 17.
  • the massage member 4 may further comprise a grid, as shown in FIG. 18.
  • This figure illustrates the possibility of attaching the massage member 4 to the frame 3 by means of a holding piece 30 independent of the massage member 4 and which is for example fixed by snapping or screwing onto the frame 3 to maintain the massage member 4 against it.
  • FIG. 19 illustrates the possibility of producing the massage member 4 with a flexible membrane doubled, on the side of the massage surface, by an attached structure 31 such as, for example, a net or a foam.
  • the handle 2 can be provided, on the opposite side to the frame 3, with a second massage member 36, which is for example rotating about an axis of rotation Z which is for example perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X.
  • the handle 2 may comprise a reservoir containing a product to be applied.
  • the device 1 may be provided with a vibrator.
