All of the nozzle holders are preferably pivoted together, for example by being coupled to a part of the nozzle carriage which is deflected by the ramp or the ramps. The coupling is expediently carried out via a rigid axis which swivels through all the nozzle holders.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif (V) de massage à sec par jet d'eau, comprenant une cuve (W) remplie d'eau de massage qui s'étend dans la direction longitudinale d'une extrémité de tête à une extrémité de pied et dans la direction transversale d'un côté gauche à un côté droit, avec un matériau en film (F) servant simultanément de surface de couchage pour une personne (Re) à traiter et permettant une transmission d'impulsions de pression en faisant office de couvercle qui ferme la cuve (W) de manière étanche à l'eau sur le côté supérieur ; un chariot à buses (1) mobile dans la direction longitudinale de la cuve (W) et comportant au moins deux buses (D, D', D''), les buses (D, D', D'') pouvant être alimentées en eau de massage par le biais d'un raccord de tuyau flexible à partir de la cuve (W) au moyen d'une pompe (P) pour éjecter chacune un jet d'eau contre le côté inférieur du matériau en film (F) ; un premier mécanisme d'entraînement (3) destiné à déplacer le chariot à buses (1) vers l'avant et vers l'arrière dans la direction longitudinale de la cuve (W), le mouvement desdites buses (D, D') vers l'avant et vers l'arrière dans la direction longitudinale de la cuve (W) s'effectuant avec le mouvement du chariot à buses (1) ; et un deuxième mécanisme d'entraînement (5, ZR, Z) qui positionne les buses (D, D') dans la direction transversale de la cuve (W). Un dispositif qui permet également de traiter les zones du corps de la personne qui sont espacées du plan du film est réalisé en ce que le matériau en film (F) possède un ou plusieurs espaces creux de côté inférieur de film, qui s'étendent transversalement sur la face inférieure du film (F) et qui façonnent le film (F) en un ou plusieurs bossages (100) de configuration convexe sur le côté supérieur du film, lesquels sont dirigée vers la personne (Pe) couchée sur le matériau en film (F). . .
