Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for massage or treatment of the back and neck muscles of a patient, comprising a housing with a drive motor arranged therein, indirectly an adjustable fundamental oscillation with constant amplitude in the axial direction of a massage finger, comprising a massage body and a fixing pin for connection of the massage finger with a drive of
- the spine massage is performed selectively and over the fingers by a physiotherapist or respiratory therapist.
- the fingers are painted or pressed in different orientations and with different pressure approximately perpendicular to the surface to be massaged.
- a lateral movement and a vertical movement of the fingers in the direction of the surface to be massaged is necessary.
- acupressure simulation devices which are used for example for acupressure of the sole of the foot.
- Simulation devices aim at a contact that is as punctiform as possible between the body surfaces of the massage body and the skin surface, as described, inter alia, in US Pat. No. 5,162,725. In particular, applies It specifically targeted massage and stimulate the reflex zones.
- WO2006 / 027277 describes a spine massager with a plurality of massage bodies which can be moved up and down and which have a hemispherical contact surface. Due to the hemispherical configuration of the contact surface, the area of the skin to be massaged can also be varied within narrow limits, depending on the selected amplitude of deflection. Depending on the position of the massage this is desired by the surgeon and simulates a manually performed massage. This is a reproducible variable massage pressure to achieve, but which is still applied substantially punctiform.
- a disadvantage of the said spinal massage devices is the lack of variability of the contact surface of the massage body with the surface to be massaged. It is only worth the longitudinal movement of the massage body relative to the skin surface and thus only a limited possibility of movement of the majority of the massage body is reached. But it can be seen that additional other directions of movement mimic a manual massage rather and the goal to be achieved by the technical Further developments commercially available
- Massagers are also known which are provided with two massage fingers resting on both sides of the vertebral body.
- a very old, purely mechanical solution shows, for example, the British patent GB 333631 A.
- a similar massaging device is finally known with two arranged in a housing massage fingers in which, however, the massage fingers themselves exercise no movement, but in each of which a smaller Electric motor is mounted on the directly on the output shaft an eccentric is mounted, whereby the elastically mounted finger can exert an oscillation.
- WO 2008/087266 A The two electric motors in the two fingers can be controlled independently of each other, but depending on the angular position. In addition, the speed of the two motors and thus the vibration frequency can be adjusted.
- a lateral movement of the massage body should be sought, which is disclosed for example in the chair-like spinal massager of US5460598.
- a separate mechanism is used, which performs the lateral movement.
- the massage body which perform the longitudinal movement and thus simulate the pressure of the fingers are not intended to achieve a lateral movement and thus a two-dimensional massage.
- Separate massage rollers are in the lateral direction on the massaging Skin surface guided by a separate mechanism. The massage body and the massage rollers are rotationally symmetrical.
- a massaging device with which the resonance frequency of the muscles to be relaxed is met and in which a habituation effect is counteracted.
- the fundamental is applied in a varied frequency range of 1 to 24 Hz and the frequency change is alternating.
- the frequency range between 1 and 24 Hz and the frequency change should be alternating and not just slowly increasing or decreasing.
- the alternating frequency change can be done in any rhythm.
- the alternating frequency change can, for example, be sinusoidal or sawtooth-shaped.
- the frequency change in a preferred manner in a constant rhythm with a frequency of up to 1 Hz.
- Optimal is a frequency change with 0.1 to 2 Hz. That is, every 0.5 to 10 seconds, the same fundamental frequency is applied again. If the change in frequency itself occurred at a frequency greater than 1 Hz, where, in principle, the muscle would perceive this as a consistent phenomenon and relaxation would not take place.

- the massager is designated overall by 1. This comprises a housing 2 and a separate or in the device 1 itself housed controller 10, which will be discussed later.
- the massager 1 comprises a housing 2 in which a motor 3 is accommodated, which drives a crown-shaped slide track 6 via a transmission, in this case a reduction gear.
- a guide unit 7 converts the rotational movement of the annular slide track 6 into a lifting movement which acts on a massage finger 8.
- the lifting movement itself is changed via the already mentioned controller 10, as will be described below, in an alternating stroke movement.
- the housing 2 comprises a first housing part 20, in which the motor 3 and at least a part of the reduction gear 4 superimposed. Finally, the guide unit 7 is accommodated in a second housing part 21.
- the first housing part 20 is closed by a housing cover 22 through which the feed feed 24 is guided. These Food feeder 24 may be connected directly to the network or as shown here may be connected to the controller 10, which itself has a network connection 25.
- the second housing part 21 is closed with a head cover 23, through which the massage finger 8 is passed easily movable.
- the two housing parts 20 and 21 may be fixed or soluble connected to each other.
- the housing cover 22 is usually fastened with one or more screws on the first housing part 20.
- the head cover 23 on the second housing part 21 may be purely force and / or positively placed or screwed.
- An output shaft 30 acts directly on the annular guide track 6, which rests on a planar ball bearing 5, which absorbs the force exerted on the massage finger.
- the ring-shaped slide track 6 is set by the motor 3 via the reduction gear 4 in a rotating movement.
- This ring-shaped slide track 6 may be formed as a driven ring or round disc.
- This ring or disc has an edge region which lies in the direction of the saw blade 8 and forms the actual slide track 6.
- the slide track 6 preferably forms in the development at least approximately a sinusoid. This one is chosen so that each two diametrically opposite points of the slide track 6 are at the same height.
- On the link track 6 run two cam roller ball bearings 71, preferably ball bearings which are rotatably mounted on a pivotable shaft 72 to cancel the tolerance games.
- the scanning rollers 71 and the axis 72 thereof is connected to a guide body 70.
- this guide body 70 two guide columns 73 are held. In principle, more than two guide columns can be present, which are distributed uniformly over the circumference, but suffice per se two guide columns 73.
- These guide columns 73 pass through a guide plate 74.
- the guide plate 74 is firmly held and stored in the end region of the second housing part 21st towards the massage finger 8.
- a compression spring 76 is supported, which abuts the guide body 70 in any position.
- This compression spring is a coil spring in the example shown here. Of course, other forms of compression springs, in particular in the form of an elastomeric body in question.
- the compression spring engages in a central bore in the guide body 70 for position stabilization.
- the annular slide track 6 is designed so that in each case two diametrically opposite points on the slide track 6 are at the same height.
- the height difference of the two highest points and the two lowest points of the slide track 6 forms the amplitude of movement, or the stroke of the linearly moving massage finger 8.
- This measuring rod 8 consists of a rod 80 with a terminal massage head 83.
- the rod 80 is preferably divided into two parts.
- the first rod part 81 is designed, for example, as a tube or sleeve, while the second rod part 82 is fastened to the massage head 83, provided with a threaded pin which can be screwed interchangeable with its external thread into a corresponding internal thread in the first rod part 81.
- This allows different, replaceable massage heads to be attached.
- both this second rod part 82 and the massage head 83 will be arranged detachably or interchangeably for sterilization purposes.
- FIG. 2 shows the profile of the frequency change of the movement of the massage finger. Since the massage finger is moved, due to the scanning of the annular slide track, thus the frequency change of the massage finger depends directly on the rotational speed of the drive motor.
- this change in the rotational speed is sinusoidal.
- the cycle of a cycle is referred to here as "RATE.”
- the average fundamental frequency, ie, the average oscillation number of the massage finger is assumed here, for example, at 10 Hz, ie, 10 up and down movements of the massage finger
- Rotation speed of the drive motor the frequency increases in the example shown here to about 15 Hz, then drops back to the fundamental frequency of 10 Hz and then falls further to the lowest rotational speed of the drive motor which corresponds to a frequency of 5 Hz, ie 5 oscillations per second and then increase again to the maximum at 15 Hz.
- the range from the lowest frequency to the highest frequency within a cycle is referred to herein as "DEEP.”
- the "RATE” is 10 sec.
- the cycle time is 10 seconds and the "DEEP" corresponds to a difference of 10 Hz.
- the operating frequency of the device according to the invention is between 1 and 24 Hz and the resonance frequency of the Muscles within this range, usually around 10 15 Hz, is thus always the desired effect achieved.
- the controller 10 is shown in a symbolically illustrated control housing 10 '.
- This control housing 10 ' has three controllers, which are shown here as knobs.
- Hesse realize the same with shift registers.
- the uppermost knob 11 is used to adjust the number of revolutions of the drive motor and therefore causes the change in the oscillation number of the massage finger 8 per second.
- the difference in the number of oscillations per second between the highest number of oscillation and the lowest number of oscillations can be set via the rotary knob 12 and is correspondingly denoted by "DEEP.”
- DEEP Digital
- This corresponds to the setting of the modulation amplitude is adjustable, in other words, the Cycle time, which, as already mentioned, is referred to here as "RATE".
- control housing 10 can also accommodate a rectifier, so that the mains voltage can be converted into a desired DC voltage, and thus the device itself can be operated with a completely harmless low voltage.
- the physiotherapist or respiratory therapist works with two identical devices. Just as he would normally exercise such a massage synchronously on both sides of the spine with his corresponding fingers, he will now work simultaneously with two identical devices according to the invention and each use one on each side of the spine. Thanks to his training and professional experience, he knows what kind of pressure he can work with, when he has to increase the pressure and whether one side or the other has to be worked on intensively or less intensively, depending on the corresponding tension. Thanks to the various setting options, every need can be met and thanks to constant frequency changes There is also no habituation effect, which would counteract a relaxation of the muscles.
- the device can be used in both human and veterinary therapy.
- a massage finger 800 is described in more detail, which has a massage body 801 and a fastening pin 830.
- the massage finger 800 can be detachably fastened in the drive of the massaging device 1.
- the massage finger 800 is moved in a longitudinal movement in the direction of the z-axis, parallel to the longitudinal axis L perpendicular to a surface 840 to be massaged and moved laterally, in the x or y direction over a surface 840 to be massaged.
- the massage body 801 is pressed onto the surface 840 to be massaged in different ways and a massage action is achieved with simultaneous lateral movement.
- the massage body 801 is made of an elastic material which is fixed on a base 820.
- the base 2820 is attached to or integrally formed with the mounting post 830.
- the surface of the massage body 801, which can be brought into contact with the surface 840 to be massaged, is referred to here as contact surface 810.
- This contact surface 810 is variable due to the shape of the massage body 801 in cooperation with the selected drive of the spinal massager.
- the massage body 801, which is mounted in the base 820 with a base 821, longitudinal edges 822 and transverse edges 823, has an elongated ridge 802 with a ridge edge 803. This ridge 802 projects from the base 820 away from the mounting post 830.
- the ridge edge 803 represents the cutting edge of the side surfaces 814.
- the surface in the region of the ridge edge 803 is referred to as ridge surface 811 and is illustrated in FIG. 4b.
- the terminations of the ridge edge 803 in the direction of the transverse axis Q of the massage body 801 are referred to as Firstecken 804.
- the firing corners 804 represent the intersections of the end faces 813 with the ridge 802.
- the area in the area of the firing corners 804 is referred to here as the ridge corner face 812.
- these surfaces can be at least partially brought into contact with the surface 840 to be massaged by means of a lifting movement and subsequently moved laterally. Due to the differently shaped surfaces and different sized selected pressing force, the overlying contact surface 810 varies. In addition to a more punctual support on the ridge corner surfaces 812 a flat support on one of the end faces 813 or side surfaces 814 can be reached.
- the drawing over in a lateral plane across the surface 840 to be massaged allows an optimal simulation of a manual massage, which is also characterized by different and variable large contact surfaces.
- the side surfaces 814 are designed in the shape of a parallelogram, wherein the ridge edge 803 is designed to run parallel to one of the longitudinal edges 822.
- the side surfaces 814 are designed to be longitudinal to the longitudinal axis L.
- the end faces 813 close to the longitudinal axis L an angle ⁇ or ⁇ 'a. These two angles are the same size in the embodiment of the massage body 801 shown here. Particularly preferred is the choice of equal angles ⁇ , a 'equal to 15 °.
- the spatula-like shape of the massage body 801 shown here by way of example is designed to be rotationally asymmetrical and has substantially triangular end faces 813 which are arranged mirror-symmetrically about the longitudinal axis L. These end faces 813 may represent equilateral or isosceles triangles, for example, wherein the ridge edge 803 is made blunted, so that a usable ridge surface 811 or first corner surfaces 812 that can be used for massage arise.
- the side surfaces 814 close to the longitudinal axis L through the angle ß or ß 'a. These two angles are the same size in the embodiment of the massage body 801 shown here. Particularly preferred is the choice of equal angles ß, ß ' equal to 15 °. Due to the truncated design of the ridge edge 803, the ridge surface 811 is enlarged.
- Such sizing bodies 801 thus have trapezoidal shapes. It is also conceivable to design the massage body 801 such that the length of the ridge edge 803 is greater than the length of the longitudinal edges 822 and / or the transverse edges 823 of the base.
- FIG. 6 a shows a mirror-symmetrical design of the side surfaces 814, wherein the angles ⁇ and ⁇ 'are unequal and the ridge edge 803 is not formed parallel to the longitudinal edge 822.
- the ridge edge 803, for example, from one end face 813 to the other end face 813 be designed tapered, corresponding to the relative distance between the two Firstecken 804 to the longitudinal axis L of different sizes is selected.
- the end faces 813 are configured approximately in the form of a right-angled triangle, the angles ⁇ , ⁇ 'being unequal.
- the side surfaces 814 are of different sizes and the ridge edge 803 is above the longitudinal edge 822.
- the base 820 shown here has a rectangular base 821.
- An optional support 824 is provided projecting in the direction of the longitudinal axis L in the massage body 801 and holds and supports the elastic and deformable massage body 801 on the base 820.
- As a material for the preparation of the massage body 801 dimensionally stable but elastically deformable plastics are used, which find their way back to their original shape after an elastic deformation by pressing on the body surface to be massaged 840.
- Elastomers are preferably used for the formation.
- EPDM ethylene-propylene-diene rubber
- the use of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM) offers, which can be produced industrially in the desired masses.
- EPDM ethylene-propylene-diene rubber
- the use of, for example, natural rubber or styrene-butadiene rubber is possible.
- the Shore A hardness of the materials used of the massage body 801 should be approximately in the range of 40 +/- 15. Thus, a desired massage effect can be achieved, wherein the massage body 801 are sufficiently stable and resistant.
- the wear of the variable contact surface 810 can be limited.
- the effective contact area can be adapted to the different massage methods by changing the inclination of the massage finger.
