A support (3) holds a base (4) which has one surface (4a) in contact with the skin, and holes (5) for the soap foam to come through. Protuberances (6) perform the mechanical action of massaging. Two tenons (7a,7b) face each other in the open part (1b) of the case (1), fitting into two matching mortises (8a,8b) in the base support part (3a) fitting into the opening (1b).

Description

La présente invention a trait aux instruments de massage insérant un savon ou autre et permettant ainsi d'obtenir de maniere simultanée l'effet mécanique du massage et l'action propre du savon. The present invention relates to massage instruments inserting a soap or the like and thus making it possible to simultaneously obtain the mechanical effect of the massage and the proper action of the soap.

Ces instruments sont formés d'une coque rigide de préférence en matiere plastique dont une partie constitue un organe de préhension et dont l'autre partie, ouverte pour autoriser 1' intro- duction du savon, est fermée par une semelle fabriquée dans un matériau souple. Cette dernière présente, sur sa face destinée à entrer en contact avec la peau à masser, des orifices pour le passage de la mousse de savon et des reliefs pour parfaire l'ef- fet mécanique recherché. Montée amovible sur la partie ouverte de la coque, cette semelle permet ainsi de renouveler le savon. A cet effet, elle comprend un bourrelet périphérique venant s'insérer dans une rainure pratiquée sur le pourtour de la susdite partie ouverte. These instruments are formed from a rigid shell, preferably made of plastic, one part of which constitutes a gripping member and the other part of which, open to allow the introduction of soap, is closed by a sole made of a flexible material. . The latter has, on its face intended to come into contact with the skin to be massaged, orifices for the passage of the soap foam and reliefs to perfect the desired mechanical effect. Removable mounted on the open part of the shell, this sole allows to renew the soap. To this end, it comprises a peripheral bead which is inserted into a groove formed around the periphery of the above open part.

Cependant, les manipulations pour opérer le remplacement d'un savon et qui consistent à jouer uniquement sur les propriétés élastiques de la semelle pour dégager le bourrelet de la susdite rainure, s'avèrent malaisées et, de plus, risquent d'endommager ladite semelle. However, the manipulations for replacing a soap and which consist of playing only on the elastic properties of the sole to release the bead from the above groove, prove to be difficult and, moreover, risk damaging said sole.

L'instrument de massage de la présente invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il comprend en effet un élément porte-semelle semi-rigide qui constitue un dispositif élastique de solidarisation et de désolidarisation de la semelle et de la coque, et qui évite de ce fait d'exercer des tractions directement sur la semelle. The massage instrument of the present invention overcomes these drawbacks. It in fact comprises a semi-rigid sole-carrying element which constitutes an elastic device for securing and detaching the sole and the shell, and which thereby avoids pulling directly on the sole.

Selon une caractéristique particulierement avantageuse de l'invention, le susdit élément porte-semelle est retenu à la coque par l'assemblage mutuel de tenons et de mortaises. Il suffit alors, pour annuler cette liaison, d'exercer avec les doigts une flexion sur les parties de l'élément porte-semelle les plus aptes aux déformations pour dégager les mortaises des tenons ou réciproquement. Cet assemblage de tenons et de mortaises a pour but de conforter la liaison du susdit élément à-la coque de l'instrument. According to a particularly advantageous characteristic of the invention, the above-mentioned sole-carrying element is retained in the shell by the mutual assembly of tenons and mortises. It is then enough, to cancel this connection, to exert with the fingers a bending on the parts of the sole-carrying element most suitable for deformations to release the mortises from the tenons or vice versa. The purpose of this assembly of tenons and mortises is to consolidate the connection of the aforementioned element to the shell of the instrument.

Afin de mieux comprendre l'objet de l'invention et afin d'en faire ressortir d'autres caractéristiques, on va décrire un exemple non limitatif de réalisation d'un instrument de massage conçu dans l'esprit de l'invention, cette description se réferant au dessin annexé.  In order to better understand the object of the invention and in order to bring out other characteristics thereof, a nonlimiting example of the production of a massage instrument designed in the spirit of the invention will be described, this description referring to the attached drawing.

La figure portée par ce dessin est une vue en perspective éclatée d'un tel instrument. The figure carried by this drawing is an exploded perspective view of such an instrument.

Ce dernier comprend
- une coque rigide 1 dont une partie la épouse la forme de la paume de la main pour définir un organe de préhension et dont l'autre partie lb, de forme ellipsolde, est ouverte pour autoriser l'introduction d'un savon 2 ;
- un élément porte-semelle 3 ;
- et une semelle 4 présentant, sur sa face 4a destinée à entrer en contact avec la peau, des orifices 5 pour le passage de la mousse du savon 2 et des reliefs 6 pour parfaire l'effet mécanique du massage.
The latter includes
- A rigid shell 1, part of which follows the shape of the palm of the hand to define a gripping member and the other part 1b, of ellipsold shape, is open to allow the introduction of a soap 2;
- a sole support element 3;
- And a sole 4 having, on its face 4a intended to come into contact with the skin, orifices 5 for the passage of the soap foam 2 and reliefs 6 to perfect the mechanical effect of the massage.

On notera la présence de deux tenons 7a et 7b, façonnés en regard l'un de l'autre dans la partie ouverte lb de la coque 1, et celle de deux mortaises correspondantes 8a et 8b, pratiquées dans la partie 3a de l'élément 3, partie encastrable dans l'ouverture lb pour autoriser l'ajustement des mortaises 8a et 8b autour des tenons 7a et 7b. Note the presence of two tenons 7a and 7b, shaped opposite one another in the open part lb of the shell 1, and that of two corresponding mortises 8a and 8b, formed in part 3a of the element 3, part which can be fitted into the opening lb to allow the mortises 8a and 8b to be adjusted around the tenons 7a and 7b.

La parti 3b de l'élément 3, quant à elle, sert d'attache à la semelle 4 et est préformée pour prendre appui sur l'embase de la coque 1 dessinant les contours de la partie ouverte lb. The part 3b of the element 3, meanwhile, serves to attach to the sole 4 and is preformed to bear on the base of the shell 1 drawing the contours of the open part lb.

La position des mortaises 8a et 8b aux extremites du petit axe de symétrie de l'ellipse que forme la partie 3 de l'élément 3 découle du fait que ces endroits de l'élément 3 présentent le plus faible module d'élasticité déterminé par le quotient de la contrainte agissant sur un endroit par la déformation obtenue. The position of the mortises 8a and 8b at the ends of the small axis of symmetry of the ellipse formed by the part 3 of the element 3 follows from the fact that these places of the element 3 have the lowest modulus of elasticity determined by the quotient of the stress acting on a place by the deformation obtained.

Le mode opératoire pour monter l'instrument de massage décrit ci-dessus est le suivant, en supposant que le savon 2 est déjà logé dans la coque 1 et que la semelle 4 est fixée à la partie 3b de l'élément porte-semelle. On exerce simultanément deux pressions, symbolisées par les flèches Pa et Pb, aux endroits de la partie 3b qui jouxtent les deux mortaises 8a et 8b ; on introduit la partie 3a dans l'ouverture lb de la coque 1, et on relâche les pressions exercées, de sorte que l'élément portesemelle recouvre sa forme premiere et engage les mortaises 8a et 8b autour des tenons 7a et 7b, réalisant ainsi l'assemblage désiré. The procedure for mounting the massage instrument described above is as follows, assuming that the soap 2 is already housed in the shell 1 and that the soleplate 4 is fixed to the part 3b of the soleplate element. Two pressures are simultaneously exerted, symbolized by the arrows Pa and Pb, at the locations of the part 3b which adjoin the two mortises 8a and 8b; the part 3a is introduced into the opening 1b of the shell 1, and the pressures exerted are released, so that the sole element recovers its primary shape and engages the mortises 8a and 8b around the studs 7a and 7b, thus achieving the 'desired assembly.

Pour démonter le même instrument, il suffit d'exercer les mêmes pressions Pa et Pb et de sortir l'élément porte-semelle 3 de la coque 1, et plus précisément la partie 3a de son logement lb. To dismantle the same instrument, it suffices to exert the same pressures Pa and Pb and to remove the sole-carrying element 3 from the shell 1, and more precisely the part 3a from its housing lb.

Il est évident que de nombreuses modifications et variantes de l'invention peuvent être realisées en se basant sur les enseignements ci-dessus donnés. Il est, par conséquent, bien entendu que, sans sortir du cadre des revendications annexées, l'invention peut être mise en oeuvre d'une manière différente de celle qui vient d'être plus particulièrement décrite et représentée. It is obvious that many modifications and variants of the invention can be carried out based on the above teachings. It is therefore understood that, without departing from the scope of the appended claims, the invention can be implemented in a manner different from that which has just been more particularly described and represented.
