Abstract

Massage ball, to perform therapeutic massages in the lumbar area, in a totally manual way, composed of a mesh and a ball, characterized because, the disposition, distribution and order of the specific and singular parts that compose it and that give it its peculiar form and properties is the following: - the mesh (2) is of the rhomboidal type, measuring the side of each rhombus between 1 and 3 cm. It is made of high density polyethylene. - it has a conical shape and the length measured by its generator, is between 80 and 100 cm. It has a wooden handle (2.1) located at the apex of the cone that makes up. - said mesh (2) has an opening (2.2) arranged in its side skirt, above the position of the ball (1), and below the handle (2.1). The diameter of said opening (2.2) is slightly greater than that of the ball (1). - the ball (1) is made of plastic or rubber, measures 20 cm in diameter in working position and has an inflation valve. Supports a maximum pressure of 10 kg/cm 2 . (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

DESCRIPTION

Massage ball

OBJECT 5

 The purpose of this invention is a completely manual device for massaging the back.

 The industrial sector to which this invention belongs is that of medical devices and in particular that of naturotherapy.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Among the background of the invention known to the inventor, the following stand out:

U 8801021: This invention relates to an apparatus for body massage, electromechanical, by vibrations.

PCT / FR2002 / 001481: This device massages the skin using a suction cup that sucks and compresses the skin. twenty

U 1159260: This is a device for body massage, which has vibratory and thermal elements.

U 9303283: Refers to an electromechanical device for muscle massage.

U 200501918: Electromechanical apparatus for limb massage.

P 0253580: Electric device that produces pressure and heat by irradiation of infrared rays.

U 0164223: Electric device that produces vibration massage.

U 1760926: Massage belt activated by an electromagnetic device.

Devices for performing massages have existed since time immemorial, since the beginning of mankind, since massages are an instinctive reaction to relieve pain, that is, it is a method to help the body heal itself. The first historical references date back over 5,000 years.

Although there are all kinds of manual devices and electromechanical devices for performing 35 massages, no similar or similar background to this invention has been found.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

PROBLEM APPROACH: This is a device to massage the back in the lower back, in order to relieve the characteristic tensions that are usually generated in that area.

ADOPTED SOLUTION: The device is composed of an inflatable ball about 20 cm in diameter, which is inserted into a conical shaped mesh, with the closed bottom that allows to accommodate said ball. The user only has to hold the mesh by the handle located at the apex of the cone, which forms the mesh, with the ball in the lower area and then placed on the back, with the arm flexed. Then you must rest on a wall, so that the ball is between your back and the wall. Subsequently, by pressing the ball on the wall and making lateral, ascending and descending movements, the back is massaged.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

- The mesh (2) is of the rhomboid type, measuring the side of each rhombus between 1 and 3 cm. It is made of high density polyethylene.

- It has a conical shape and the length measured by its generatrix is between 80 and 100 cm. It has a wooden handle (2.1) located at the apex of the cone it forms.

- Said mesh (2) has an opening (2.2) arranged in its side skirt, above the position of the ball (1), and below the handle (2.1). The diameter of said opening (2.2) is slightly larger than that of the ball (1).

- The ball (1) is made of plastic or rubber, measures 20 cm in diameter in working position and 10 has an inflation valve. It supports a maximum pressure of 10 Kg / cm2.

ADVANTAGES: It allows you to massage your back autonomously, that is, without the help of third parties.

Performing ascending, descending and lateral movements, immediate relief is noted, 15 in the lumbar, dorsal, cervical areas and throughout the spine.

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

To complement the description of this invention and in order to facilitate the understanding of its characteristics, a series of drawings, whose main components are the following, are accompanied by an illustrative and non-limiting nature:

Figure 1 is a side elevation view, in which the user (5) is observed, holding the mesh (2), with the ball (1) inside, in the initial position. 35

 Figure 2 is a view similar to the previous one, but the user (5) being in a massage position, supporting the ball (1) against the wall, holding it with the mesh (2).

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION 40

Among the different embodiments of this invention, the preferred one is described below:

The mesh (2) made of high density polyethylene, has a conical shape with the bottom 45 closed and the top end with its folds attached to a wooden handle (2.1). The length of the mesh measured by its generatrix is between 80 and 100 cm.

The ball is made of 20 cm diameter plastic material in an optimal working position, although it may vary depending on the inflation pressure; it is introduced into the mesh by a lateral opening (2.2), whose diameter is slightly larger than that of the ball. It has a valve 50 that allows it to be inflated at different pressures depending on the taste of each user, with a maximum of 10 Kg / cm2.

Once the nature of this invention has been sufficiently described, as well as a practical application thereof, it only remains to be added that both its materials, components, dimensions and arrangement thereof are susceptible to modifications, provided that they do not substantially affect the characteristics claimed below.
