Definitions

  • the present invention relates to massage devices.
  • applicators formed of a handle and a rigid disk, or two rigid disks that roll on the epidermis without creating tension on the skin. Such applicators are not very effective in treating wrinkles and activating microcirculation.
  • the patent US 5,218,955 discloses a massage device comprising rotary massage members.
  • FR 2,480,118 discloses a massage device comprising a support and rotating massage members.
  • a massage device that is relatively less aggressive with respect to the skin and that makes it possible to treat the epidermis, so as, for example, to activate the microcirculation and / or perform lymphatic drainage and / or to fight against aging skin and / or promote the penetration or action of active ingredients and / or provide a relaxing action.
  • the subject of the invention is a massage device according to claim 1.
  • the flexible lips each extend around the axis of rotation of the corresponding massage member.
  • the space between the lips is in permanent communication with the outside, including during use.
  • the area to be treated is for example the skin of the face or body, or the scalp, or even the hair.
  • Flexible lips when applied to the skin, can exert local tension on the skin.
  • the rolling on the skin of the flexible lips can allow to move the tension exerted on the skin.
  • the invention can make it possible to produce a facial massage member capable of massaging the skin without leaving any redness, for example.
  • the pair of flexible lips may belong to the same massage member and the flexible lips may be molded integrally therewith.
  • the lips can form between them an annular groove that does not create depression by being applied to the skin, unlike a suction cup.
  • the two flexible lips can still not be molded in one piece, and belong for example to different massage members.
  • the massage member may comprise at least one molded shaft portion with the flexible lips. This can reduce the number of components of the massage device, if any.
  • the massage member may comprise a hub made of a material different from that of the lips. Such a hub can facilitate the rotation of the massage member, if necessary.
  • the massage device may optionally comprise elements projecting between the lips, for example a succession of pins, which may be made in one piece with the flexible lips, if appropriate. These protruding elements can generate vibrations during their displacement in contact with the skin.
  • the flexible lips move away from each other as one moves away from the axis of rotation, which facilitates their flexion in spacing when the massage member is applied and pressed on the skin.
  • the flexible lips may have a circular edge or not, for example polygonal, and have an annular shape.
  • the flexible lips may have openings, which can increase their flexibility.
  • the flexible lips may have cutouts or teeth on their edge.
  • the lips may define between them a groove widening in the radial direction.
  • the flexible lips of the aforementioned flexible pair of lips may be substantially symmetrical to one another with respect to a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
  • each flexible lip may or may not have axial symmetry with respect to the axis of rotation.
  • At least one flexible lip may be eccentric.
  • the spacing, measured along the axis of rotation, between the free edges of the two flexible lips of the pair of flexible lips can range, for example, from 1 to 15, ranging for example from 2 to 10 mm.
  • the length of the flexible lips measured between the free edge and the zone of connection to the rest of the massage member, is for example between 3 mm and 15 mm, ranging for example from 4 to 10 mm.
  • the thickness of a flexible lip is for example less than or equal to 1.5 mm.
  • the material in which the flexible lips are made may include a charge of magnetic particles, if any.
  • the maximum radius of a flexible lip is for example less than or equal to 20 mm.
  • the device may comprise at least one additional rotary massage member arranged to come into contact with the skin when the flexible lips are deformed in contact with the latter.
  • the additional massage member may be mounted between branches of the support each supporting one of the massage members.
  • This rotary member is for example a roller disposed between the branches.
  • This roller may comprise reliefs for creating a complementary massage action, for example pins or ribs angularly offset from one end to the other of the roller.
  • the support may comprise a flattened handle.
  • the device may comprise at least one split axis on which is snapped a rotating ring carrying a massage member.
  • the axis can be attached to the support.
  • the flexible lips may be applied on the skin, in particular on both sides of a wrinkle, and the massage member or bodies can be rotated while rolling on the skin.
  • Tension can be exerted through the massage device on both sides of at least one wrinkle.
  • the massage device can be moved along the ride.
  • a substance may be deposited between the flexible lips beforehand and / or during movement of the massage member (s) on the skin.
  • the massage device 1 shown in FIG. figure 1 comprises a massage member 2 rotatable about an axis of rotation R relative to a support 90 which, in the example in question, is elongate along a longitudinal axis X.
  • the X and R axes are for example substantially orthogonal.
  • the massage member 2 shown separately in FIG. figure 2 , comprises a pair of flexible lips 3 and 4 intended to come into contact with the skin during the use of the device 1.
  • the lips 3 and 4 are connected to a central portion 5 which, in this example, is traversed by an opening 6 for the passage of a shaft 7 whose ends are held by two branches 8 and 9 of the support 3.
  • the lips 3 and 4 deviate at rest from one another in the radial direction in the example considered, so that when the massage member 2 is applied against the skin and pressure is exerted by it on the skin in a direction generally perpendicular to the axis of rotation R, the lips 3 and 4 tend to exert a spreading action of the epidermis, as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 .
  • This spreading action is for example exerted on either side of a wrinkle F, and allows to stretch the skin to its level.
  • the device 1 can in particular be moved along the wrinkle F, the lips 3 and 4 applying to the skin respectively on either side of the wrinkle.
  • the flexible lips 3 and 4 are made in one piece with the central portion 5 by molding plastic material, for example an elastomeric material.
  • the flexible lips 3 and 4 can still be made, as illustrated in FIG. figure 4 , in a material different from the central portion 5, for example overmolded in an elastomeric material on the central portion 5, the latter being molded in a plastic material more rigid than the lips 3 and 4. This may facilitate the rotation of the massage member 2.
  • the central portion 5 can optionally be made, as illustrated in FIG. figure 4 , with shaft portions 12, of axis R, which can avoid the use of the shaft 7. These shaft portions 12 can be directly received in housing branches 8 and 9, if necessary.
  • the massage member 2 comprises a hub 13 which is in a different material from that in which are formed the flexible lips 3 and 4, in particular a more rigid plastic material.
  • the hub 13 is for example reported in the opening 6 of the central portion 5, being for example latched thereon.
  • the hub 13 can be overmoulded on the central portion 5.
  • the hub 13 may comprise two parts 14 and 15 which are assembled one on the other, as illustrated in FIG. figure 6 . This may allow for example to produce these parts 14 and 15 with flanges 16 for example to stiffen the central portion 5.
  • the parts 14 and 15 are for example assembled by snapping, but they could be fixed otherwise, for example be glued or welded, among others.
  • the flexible lips 3 and 4 are made together in one piece by molding plastic material in the examples illustrated in FIGS. Figures 2 to 6 , but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the flexible lips 3 and 4 are two independent parts, as illustrated in FIG. figure 7 .
  • the lips 3 and 4 belong for example to respective massage members 17 and 18 which have a generally concave shape towards the outside, being traversed at their center by an opening 20 for the passage of a shaft.
  • the concavities of the massage members 17 and 18 are opposite in the example in question, but they could be opposite each other in a non-illustrated variant.
  • the massage member 2 may comprise, as illustrated in FIG. figure 8 , projecting elements 22 between the flexible lips 3 and 4.
  • protruding elements 22 are for example arranged spaced apart on the circumference of the central part 5, between the flexible lips 3 and 4, as can be seen on FIG. figure 9 .
  • the height of the projecting elements 22, which are for example in the form of pins, is in the example considered lower than that of the flexible lips 3 and 4, so that the projecting elements 22 contact the skin only after separation of the flexible lips 3 and 4, as illustrated in FIG. figure 10 .
  • the lips 3 and 4 may, in axial section, be substantially rectilinear over at least a portion of their length, in particular a portion of their length from their free edge 30 or 31.
  • the lips 3 and 4 may still be in section axial, curvilinear.
  • the projecting elements 22 are made in a monolithic manner by molding material with the flexible lips 3 and 4.
  • the projecting elements 22 may be carried by a rotating part 28 interposed between the massage members 17 and 18 described above.
  • the flexible lips 3 and 4 may be symmetrical to one another with respect to a median plane perpendicular to the axis R, as is the case for example for the massage member shown in FIG. figure 2 .
  • the flexible lip 4 may for example extend substantially in a plane, which is for example oriented substantially perpendicular to the axis R, while the flexible lip 3 is for example inclined relative to the axis R and deviates for example lip 4 in the radial direction.
  • the flexible lips 3 and 4 can be made differently, so as to have different flexibilities.
  • the flexible lip 3 may for example be made with a greater material thickness than the flexible lip 4, so as to deform less easily, as illustrated in FIG. figure 15 .
  • the respective free edges 30 and 31 of the flexible lips 3 and 4 are for example each circular.
  • the edges 30 and 31 may for example have the same radius or different radii.
  • the maximum radius y that is to say the distance to the axis R of the edge 30 or 31, is for example less than or equal to 20 mm.
  • Each edge 30 or 31 may be contained in the same plane, but it may be different.
  • the edge 30 or 31 may, for example, extend in a wavy manner on either side of a median plane perpendicular to the axis R, as illustrated in FIG. Figure 17A .
  • the flexible lips 3 and 4 have a length l, measured between the corresponding free edge 30 or 31 and the central portion 5 which may be greater for at least a portion of the circumference of the lip, for example for its entire circumference, to the radius r of the central part 5, as illustrated in FIG. figure 2 .
  • the lengths l may be identical for each of the flexible lips 3 and 4 or be different.
  • the length l can vary in the circumferential direction, as illustrated in FIG. figure 16 for example to vary the distance d between the free edges 30 or 31 in the circumferential direction and / or vary the flexibility of the lips 3 and 4 in the circumferential direction.
  • the length l is for example between 3 and 15 mm, or even 3 and 10 mm.
  • the distance d is for example between 1 and 15 mm, or even 1 and 6 mm.
  • the thickness of a lip 3 or 4 is for example less than or equal to 1.5 mm, for example over at least half of its length.
