As a treatment head, a partially double-shelled spoon-shaped configuration for planar treatment or a sphere or pear-shaped body for point treatment or deep treatment is used. For relaxation of the most tense muscles, a sauna visit is often preceded by a physical procedure, in particular a facial procedure, in order to prepare the thermal action method.

Federal Republic of Germany Patent Application Publication No. 2,74
No. 9,883 discloses a vibro-massage device with a heating device which is directly integrated into the massage head. The heating device can be adjusted in the same way as the vibration drive device. Uniform heat distribution presupposes expensive heating equipment. Each treatment head must have its own heating section. This is the United States Patent No. 8
51,510 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,4.
The same applies to the configuration according to the specification of No. 27,001.

[0004]

It is an object of the present invention that the heat treatment is associated with a massage treatment for deepening and accelerating the action and that a uniform heat distribution in the treatment head is ensured and that the treatment head is replaced. To be made possible.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The measures taken according to the invention for solving the above-mentioned problems consist in a treatment device of the type mentioned at the outset, in which the treatment head consists of a heat-conducting material, and A heating device, which has a heat-conducting shaft that engages inside the grip and is mounted in front of the vibration drive or the eccentric drive and is attached to the grip, is attached to the shaft of the treatment head or in the grip. It is located in the holding part for the shaft.

[0006]

The treatment head, including the shaft, is made of a heat-conducting material, such as brass plated with surface chrome, and is independent of the electrical structure. Due to the presence of the heating device in the grip, the treatment head is inexpensive to manufacture and can be well cleaned with a liquid solvent without having to fear short circuits. The heating device in the shaft area provides a uniform heat distribution over the treatment head. The operating heat of electric operation, which is known to have a high thermal dissipation power, is transferred to the shaft or shaft holder via a heat-conducting bridge. Centralized control is related to heating power, stroke, and vibration frequency. According to a further development of the invention, the shaft has a notch, in which a heating device, in particular a heat-dissipating semiconductor device, engages. The switching is carried out such that when the predetermined amount of heat is reached, the heating power is temporarily throttled below the slope of the heat transfer to the shaft of the treatment head and until the heat absorption capacity is signaled. In a further configuration of the invention, the holding part for transmitting the vibration movement is a sleeve with at least one inwardly directed rib for fixing the rotational position and as a carrier for heat transfer. The heating device is arranged on the rib. The holding part can have a star-shaped cross section, against which a shaft configured to compensate for its shape abuts. In addition, the holding part has a lightly conical inwardly tapered opening and the shaft has a matching cone angle, so that locking through the wedge-shaped riding surface is possible. You can As a result, the locked shaft is clamped in the direction toward the inside of the holding portion and firmly abuts without heat loss during heat conduction.

The shaft of the treatment head is provided with a permanent magnet and the power supply or control lead of the heating device is provided with tongue-shaped contacts for activation of heating only when the treatment head is inserted. Is more advantageous.
This causes the heating device to be switched off immediately when heat can no longer be dissipated in the treatment head. The circuit in which the heating device is located is automatically powered down, or switched off completely or intermittently, when the target temperature is reached, but whenever the heating device is overheated. A bimetal monitor or an NTC-resistance monitor can also be provided.

Advantageously, the treatment head and the shaft are made of different materials with different heat storage and conductivity, for example brass for the treatment head and copper for the shaft. This causes the heat to be quickly transferred to the treatment head and stored there for a long time. Furthermore, the treatment head and possibly the shaft are formed as hollow bodies,
It is also advantageous if it is filled with a liquid that does not corrode in particular. In a specific configuration, the longitudinal central axis of the treatment head, which is embodied as an ellipsoidal surface, is inclined with respect to the central axis of the shaft and runs by this shaft outside the shaft. This allows the treatment head to have a tilted position which allows treatment with the entire half of the head. Further, the shaft connected to the treatment head is divided into two parts perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and the portion located in the immediate vicinity of the treatment head serves as a connecting pipe piece, and at least a portion insertable into the grip is at least partially formed. Of the shaft, the two parts of the shaft being adapted to be screwed in and out of each other, and the threaded member being the connecting part of the treatment head for filling, if any. Is advantageous.
