STIMULATEUR CENTRAL HYDRO-DYNAMOGENE
DES MEMBRES INFERIEURS La présente invention se rapporte aux équipements de centres de thermalisme, de thalassothérapie, de balnéothérapie et elle concerne en particulier un dispositif destiné à un parcours d'entretien corporel en milieu aquatique aux fins de remise en forme et de prévention santé de la population pratiquant la natation dans les piscines. HYDRO-DYNAMOGENIC CENTRAL STIMULATOR
LOWER MEMBERS The present invention relates to equipment for hydrotherapy centers, thalassotherapy, balneotherapy and it relates in particular to a device intended for a body maintenance course in an aquatic environment for the purposes of fitness and health prevention of the people practicing swimming in swimming pools.
En effet, l'insuffisance veineuse qui touche près de 18 millions de Français dont deux fois plus de femmes que d'hommes en raison de l'impact des modifications hormonales sur leur état veineux (dysfonctionnement, contraception, grossesse, ménopause) devient avec l'âge un risque de handicap invalidant. Indeed, the venous insufficiency which affects nearly 18 million French people including twice as many women as men because of the impact of hormonal modifications on their venous state (dysfunction, contraception, pregnancy, menopause) becomes with l age a risk of disabling disability.
Afin de diminuer la prise en charge des sujets âgés de plus en plus nombreux atteints par cette pathologie, la pratique régulière d'activités physiques permet de réduire ou de retarder l'apparition de syndromes des jambes lourdes, la formation d'oedèmes, des risques de thrombose, en stimulant le retour veineux. In order to reduce the care of more and more elderly subjects affected by this pathology, regular physical activities can reduce or delay the onset of heavy leg syndromes, the formation of edema, risks thrombosis, stimulating venous return.
Le massage de la plante de Lejars est amplifié par l'effet simultané hydro- dynamogène ascensionnel produit par le dispositif de l'invention pour favoriser le retour veineux, stimule l'échange veineux, lymphatique et capillaire des membres inférieurs. The Lejars plant massage is amplified by the simultaneous hydro-dynamogenic upward effect produced by the device of the invention to promote venous return, stimulates venous, lymphatic and capillary exchange of the lower limbs.
L'accès au bassin de remise en forme s'effectue par une rampe inclinée permettant à tout public de s'immerger progressivement en commençant son parcours de santé par le traitement des membres inférieurs. Access to the fitness pool is via an inclined ramp allowing everyone to gradually immerse themselves by starting their health journey by treating the lower limbs.
Le baigneur pénètre directement sans obstacle dans une cavité circulaire (1) tangente à la rampe d'accès et constituant un chemin de marche immergé pour la stimulation des chevilles. The bather penetrates directly without obstacle into a circular cavity (1) tangent to the access ramp and constituting a submerged walking path for the stimulation of the ankles.
En continuant sa progression et en raison de la déclivité de la rampe d'accès, le baigneur pénètre dans une seconde cavité circulaire (1) pour la stimulation des jambes. La troisième cavité circulaire achèvera le traitement des membres inférieurs par la stimulation des jambes et des cuisses. Continuing its progression and due to the slope of the access ramp, the bather enters a second circular cavity (1) for the stimulation of the legs. The third circular cavity will complete the treatment of the lower limbs by stimulating the legs and thighs.
Le dispositif de l'invention permet à un stimulateur hydro-dynamogène une action sur la semelle veineuse et sur les jambes par l'effet conjugué de plusieurs mécanismes : The device of the invention allows a hydro-dynamogenic stimulator to act on the venous sole and on the legs by the combined effect of several mechanisms:
<Desc/Clms Page number 2><Desc / Clms Page number 2>
- un déroulement lent du pied pour un foulage maximum de la plante veineuse sur un revêtement doté d'aspérités dont la rotondité permet une vidange totale de la semelle plantaire (3) ; L'effleurage des veines par un double réseau de micro bulles d'air scellé dans le plancher, constitue un massage superficiel efficace (5) ; - un hydro-massage dû à un contre courant centrifuge ascensionnel (2) favorisant le retour veineux avec un effet de douche écossaise, en passant alternativement de l'eau climatisée (4) à une zone refroidie du chemin de marche (1), objet de l'invention ; - une contention à l'eau, due à la contre pression de l'eau de la cavité, s'ajoute à la baisse physiologique de la pression veineuse pendant la marche, facilitant le retour veineux. FIG 1. - a slow unrolling of the foot for maximum treading of the venous plant on a coating provided with asperities whose roundness allows a total emptying of the plantar sole (3); The effleurage of the veins by a double network of micro air bubbles sealed in the floor constitutes an effective surface massage (5); - a hydro-massage due to an ascending centrifugal counter current (2) promoting venous return with a Scottish shower effect, alternately passing air-conditioned water (4) to a cooled area of the walking path (1), object of the invention; - water contention, due to the back pressure of the water in the cavity, is added to the physiological drop in venous pressure during walking, facilitating venous return. FIG 1.
Le dispositif de l'invention est constitué d'une colonne en tube acier inoxydable (13) muni d'une platine de fixation à sa base, scellée par des chevilles chimiques dans l'axe du plancher de la cavité. The device of the invention consists of a column of stainless steel tube (13) provided with a fixing plate at its base, sealed by chemical anchors in the axis of the floor of the cavity.
Ce stimulateur est alimenté par : - une canalisation d'eau aspirée par une ou plusieurs pompes dans le bassin et refoulée (6) dans le stimulateur à sa partie basse. This stimulator is supplied by: - a water pipe sucked by one or more pumps in the basin and discharged (6) in the stimulator at its lower part.
Le stimulateur diffuse l'eau sous pression du bassin (6) dans la cavité par un effet rotatif généré par la disposition hélicoïdale des buses de refoulement orientées vers le haut, créant un contre courant centrifuge ascensionnel, massant les jambes dans le sens du retour veineux (7). The stimulator diffuses pressurized water from the pelvis (6) into the cavity by a rotary effect generated by the helical arrangement of the upwardly directed discharge nozzles, creating an ascending centrifugal counter current, massaging the legs in the direction of venous return (7).
L'intérieur du stimulateur comporte un réseau d'alimentation d'eau du bassin disposé en chicane afin d'obtenir dans chaque buse de refoulement une pression nominale suffisante pour l'efficacité du massage (8). The interior of the stimulator comprises a network for supplying the basin with water, arranged in a baffle in order to obtain in each discharge nozzle a nominal pressure sufficient for the effectiveness of the massage (8).
Chaque buse de refoulement est orientable et à débit réglable. Each delivery nozzle is adjustable and has an adjustable flow rate.
- L'alimentation en eau de ville (9) est positionnée dans l'axe à l'intérieur du stimulateur et fonctionne par aspersion gravitaire, en raison des règlements d'hygiène, au moyen d'un déversoir circulaire (10). - The city water supply (9) is positioned in the axis inside the stimulator and works by gravity spray, due to hygiene regulations, by means of a circular weir (10).
<Desc/Clms Page number 3> <Desc / Clms Page number 3>
L'eau de ville, fraîche (10), provoque un abaissement de la température de l'eau du chemin de marche (1) et crée le choc thermique stimulant de la douche écossaise. City water, fresh (10), causes a lowering of the water temperature of the walking path (1) and creates the stimulating thermal shock of the Scottish shower.
L'eau refroidie du chemin de marche (1), entraînée par son mouvement centrifuge et compte tenu de la configuration des parois de la cavité, se mélange faiblement avec l'eau climatisée de la rampe d'accès (4) fournissant l'effet thermique différen- tiel pendant les séquences de stimulation. FIG. 2. The cooled water of the walking path (1), driven by its centrifugal movement and taking into account the configuration of the walls of the cavity, mixes slightly with the conditioned water of the access ramp (4) providing the effect differential thermal during stimulation sequences. FIG. 2.
L'eau de ville constitue un apport d'eau de renouvellement journalier exigé par la réglementation. Cet appoint quotidien compense en eau fraîche l'élévation de la température de l'eau du bassin due à l'utilisation de matériel d'hydromassage alimenté en eau chaude. City water constitutes a daily renewal water supply required by regulations. This daily top-up compensates in fresh water for the rise in the temperature of the pool water due to the use of hydromassage equipment supplied with hot water.
La température de l'eau du chemin de marche est contrôlée manuellement ou automatiquement par l'animateur du parcours de santé selon l'exigence de chaque catégorie de baigneur. The water temperature of the walking path is controlled manually or automatically by the fitness course organizer according to the requirements of each category of swimmer.
Le stimulateur est équipé à sa partie supérieure d'une main courante circulaire (11). The stimulator is equipped at its upper part with a circular handrail (11).
Le garde-corps extérieur du chemin de marche est muni d'un filament en basse tension à déroulement lumineux (12) permettant de contrôler la vitesse de marche du baigneur. FIG 1. The external guardrail of the walking path is provided with a low-voltage filament with luminous unwinding (12) making it possible to control the walking speed of the bather. FIG 1.
L'injection de l'eau tempérée (6) dans le stimulateur peut s'effectuer par séquences variables ou bien par effet venturi au moyen d'une turbine d'air. The injection of temperate water (6) into the stimulator can be carried out in variable sequences or else by a venturi effect by means of an air turbine.
