The functional unit 1 1 shown in FIG. 1 for a fitness, beauty or wellness device is configured as a pair of pants portable on the body 10 of a user. The functional unit 1 1 has a plurality of fluid lines 12. A pump 20 is attached to the functional unit 1 1. The fluid conduits 12 are arranged on the functional unit 1 1 such that they wind around the user's thighs and buttocks. The fluid lines 12 are connected to the pump 20, so that the fluid lines 12 can be acted upon by a pressure medium, in particular air. The pressure, which preferably builds up and breaks down alternately, causes a massaging effect on the body 10 of the user.

As shown in more detail in FIG. 2, the functional unit 11 has a first fastening device 13 and a first connecting device 30. The first fastening device 13 comprises a fastening loop 14. The pump 20 has a second fastening device 21 and a second connecting device 50. The second fastening device 21 comprises a fastening hook 22 for fastening the pump 20 to the

Functional unit 1 1, the fastening hook 22 in the

Attachment loop 14 hooked. So that the fluid lines 12 of the

Functional unit 1 1 can be pressurized, the fluid lines 12 must be connected to the pump 20. This is done by connecting the first connection device 30 of the functional unit 1 1 to the second connection device 50 of the pump 20.

The first fastening device 13 forms an upper supporting point O on the functional unit 11, and the first connecting device 30 forms a lower supporting point U on the functional unit 11. When connecting the pump 20 with the functional unit 1 1, the fastening hook 22 is hooked into the fastening loop 14 at an angle α initially at the upper support point O, as shown by dashed lines in FIG.

As can be seen from FIG. 3 a, the functional unit 1 1 comprises a

Bearing plate 16. On the bearing plate 16, the first connection device 30 is arranged. In the present case, the first connection device 30 comprises two identical connection domes 31, but may also comprise three or even more connection domes 31. The connection domes 31 each have a fluid line connection 32. At the fluid line connection 32 two fluid lines 12 are connected. The fluid lines 12 extend from the respective fluid line connection 32 on the bearing plate 16 to a fluid line edge 17 on the bearing plate 16 and then extend outside of the bearing plate 16 within the

Function unit 1 1. Movements of the functional unit 1 1 can

exert undesirable forces on the fluid lines 12, which then transfer to the respective fluid line connection 32 and to a

Impairment of the operation of the fluid line connection 32 may result. Therefore, a fluid line attachment 33 is provided on the fluid line edge 17 of the bearing plate 16. By a particular

positive and / or material connection, the

Fluid lines 12 are fixed to the fluid line mounting 33. As a result, a power transmission from the functional unit 1 1 over the

Fluid lines 12 to the respective fluid line connection 32 minimized. In Fig. 3b, the bearing plate 16 is shown in dashed lines. The first

Connection device 30 of the functional unit 1 1 is connected to the second

Connection device 50 of the pump 20 conductively connected. The fluid lines 12 extend from the pump 20 on the bearing plate 16 to the fluid line edge 17 and then continue to run outside of the bearing plate 16. The fluid lines 12 are at the fluid line edge 17 through the

Fluid line attachment 33 fixed.

As can also be seen from FIG. 3 b, the functional unit 11 is provided with a receptacle 18. The bearing plate 16 is in the receptacle 18th

recorded and thus reliably attached to the functional unit 1 1. On the receptacle 18 is a darts 19, which follows the outline of the bearing plate 16 substantially. With the help of the Abnähers 19, the bearing plate 16 is securely held in the receptacle 18.

The fluid lines 12 extend in the region of the bearing plate 16 within the receptacle 18. At the fluid line edge 17, therefore, the dart 19 is interrupted to the fluid lines 12 from the receptacle 18th

lead out. The bearing plate 16 is made of a material having a higher rigidity than the material of which the functional unit 1 1, at least in the region of the bearing plate 16, consists. Further, the receptacle 18 is made of a material having a higher rigidity than the material from which the functional unit 1 1, at least in the area of

Bearing plate 16, consists. However, the receptacle 18 is made of a material having a lower rigidity than the material from which the bearing plate 16 is made.

In Fig. 4 it can be seen how the bearing plate 16 is disposed within the receptacle 18. Viewed from the body 10 of the user, above the receptacle 18, the fastening loop 14 is arranged on the functional unit 1 1. To attach the pump 20 to the functional unit 1 1 of the hooks 22 is hooked into the mounting strap 14 and thus forming the upper support point O. The two connection domes 31 together with two connection stubs 51 shown in FIG. 5b form the lower support point U.

As can be seen from FIGS. 5 a and 5 b, the connecting domes 31 each have in their interior a dome connection channel 34, which has a

Inner peripheral surface 35 has. The inner circumferential surface 35 comprises a pump connection region 36 and a fluid line connection region 37. An inner lining 38 is provided on the inner circumferential surface 35 in the pump connection region 36. At the fluid line connection 32, two fluid lines 12 are connected, which are of the respective

Lead connecting domes 31 away. The inner peripheral surface 35 has within the fluid line connection region 37 in the region of

adjacent fluid line connection 32 two fluid openings 39, through which the fluid lines 12 are conductively connected to the Domanschlusskanal 34. The outer sides of the Verbindungsdome 31 include an outer support surface 40, on which the second connection device 50 of the pump 20 is supported. The outer support surface 40 has a substantially conical shape.

The second connection device 50 comprises two connection stubs 51 which each have a stub connection channel 52 in their interior. The second connection device 50 further comprises two recesses 53, in each of which a connection piece 51 is arranged. The depth of the recesses 53 corresponds approximately to the length of the respective

Connecting piece 51. The depressions 53 each have one

Inner support surface 54, at which the first connection device 30 of the functional unit 1 1 is supported. The inner support surface 54 has a substantially conical shape.

For connecting the first connection device 30 with the second

Connecting device 50, the connecting piece 51 are each in the provided for this purpose Dührschlusskanäle 34 along the inner lining 38 introduced. The connecting piece 51 has a nozzle diameter Dstu, which corresponds approximately to the diameter ÜDom of the Domanschlusskanals 34, is expediently slightly lower. The inner lining 38 consists of an elastically deformable material, for example silicone. This leads to a slight compression of the inner lining 38 during insertion of the connecting piece 51 in the Domanschlusskanal 34, whereby a tight connection between the Domanschlusskanal 34 and the nozzle connection channel 52 is ensured. The length L _s t _u of

Stutzenanschlusskanals 52 is less than the depth Tdom of the

Domanschlusskanals 34. At maximum insertion depth of

Connecting stub 51 in the Domanschlusskanal 34 is the

Connecting piece 51 only in the pump connection region 36 of

Inner peripheral surface 35 and not in the fluid line connection portion 37 of the inner peripheral surface 35 at. The in the fluid connection region 37

arranged fluid openings 39 are thus not by the

Connecting piece 51 hidden.

The shape of the depressions 53 of the second connection device 50 corresponds approximately to the shape of the connecting dome 31. If the

Connecting stub 51 is inserted into the connecting dome 31, the outer support surface 40 of the connecting dome 31 is supported on the

Inner support surface 54 of the recess 53 and the inner lining 38 on the connecting piece 51 from. Thus, a secure hold of the pump 20 is ensured on the functional unit 1 1.

The fluid conduit port 32 is related to the shape of the

Connecting dome 31 from the Verbindungsdomen 31 outward. In this area, the inner support surface 54 is shortened toward the functional unit 1 1 in order to ensure sufficient space for the fluid line connection 32. The fluid line connection 32 has a shape tapering in the direction of the fluid lines 12. The inner support surface 54 is supported in the region of the fluid line connection 32 with a support edge 55 on the fluid line connection 32. Thus, a secure hold of the pump 20 to the functional unit 1 1 in the area of

Fluid line connection 32 ensures.

As shown in Fig. 6, the first fastening means 13 of the functional unit 1 1 may be configured as a pocket 15 and the second

Fastener 21 may be formed by the housing 23. The

Connecting dome 31 are disposed within the pocket 15. To the

connected. The first connection device 30 is thus connected in operative connection to the second connection device 50 at the first support point A.

The pocket 15 may have various embodiments to facilitate the insertion of the pump 20 into the pocket 15. For example, the bag 15 may be made of a velcro-felt combination that allows lateral insertion of the pump 20 in the pocket 15.

The placement of the pump 20 in the pocket 15 causes the

Housing 23 of the pump 20 is supported by the pocket 15 and provides stability.

In addition, in the pocket 15, a bearing plate 16, as already described above, be introduced. Accordingly, the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 differs from the one shown heretofore in that the first attachment means 13 is configured as a pocket 15 instead of the attachment loop 14 and the second attachment means 21 is formed by the housing 23 instead of the attachment hook 22. For further illustration, Fig. 7a shows the pump 20 in one

Perspective view from the front. Inside the pump 20, a battery or accumulator is housed to ensure the mobile operation of the pump 20. In order to load the accumulator, a power connection 24 is arranged in the housing 23. For ergonomic reasons, the power connector 24 is disposed on a side surface of the housing 23.

Fig. 7b shows the pump 20 in a perspective view from behind. As described above, two recesses 53 are provided in the housing 23, in each of which a connecting piece 51 is arranged with a nozzle connection channel 52. When connecting the connection piece 51 with the associated connection dome 31, the connection dome 31 are supported on the inner support surface 54.

The attachment hook 22 tapers in the direction of the connection piece 51, in order to facilitate a simpler threading of the attachment hook 22 into the associated order loop 14. For a particularly stable hold of the pump 20 to the functional unit 1 1, the

Mounting hook 22 has a width corresponding to the horizontal distance of the connecting piece 51 to each other.

8 and 9 show a further embodiment of the pump 60. If one wishes to dispense with a first and a second fastening device for reasons of stability and wearing comfort, the dimensions of the pump 60 can be reduced. The pump 60 also has two

Connecting piece 51 on. At the first support point A, the pump 60 is placed on the connecting dome 31, wherein, as usual, the first

Connection device 30 with the second connection device 50

is actively connected.

In this minimalist embodiment of the pump 60 and the

Function unit 1 1, is completely on a first and second Fastening device, and thus on a second support point B, waived. A mere plugging of the pump 60 to the Verbindungsdomen 31 can already provide sufficient support and stability.

In addition, you can attach to the functional unit 1 1 elastic bands that are drawn after connecting the pump 60 to the connecting dome 31 via the housing 23 of the pump 60 and thus provide additional support and stability.

In a further embodiment, the stability can be improved by a Velcro strip arranged on the underside of the pump 60, which can be connected to a Velcro strip arranged on the functional unit 11.

In addition, the stability can be achieved by a latching snap-in connection of the pump 60 in the connecting domes 31.

The fitness, beauty or wellness device described above is characterized by easy handling and a secure hold of the pump 20 on the functional unit 1 1. This is mainly due to the connection between the two Verbindungsdome 31 with the connection piece 51 at the lower support point U on the one hand and the compound of

Mounting loop 14 with the mounting hook 22 at the upper support point O on the other hand resulting three-point connection
