Description

The invention relates to medical equipment, in particular to prophylactic and health-improving devices for massaging various parts of the human body with elastic massage elements.

The purpose of the invention is to expand the range of control of the directions and intensity of massage effects on the body.

This goal is achieved in that the pairs of rods are removably fixed to the support elements with the possibility of movement along the axes of the holes of the base. In this case, each rod is made of two parts, fixed with the possibility of changing positions around the axes parallel to the axes of the holes of the base, and fixing one relative to the other.

Figure 1 shows the device, a top view; figure 2 is a section aa in figure 1; in Fig.3 - node I in Fig.2; on the. Fig. 4 is an example of the arrangement of elements of the device during massage.

The device comprises a base 1. made, for example, of a flexible material (plastic) with a thickness of 5-20 mm with holes 2 010-20mm in which the massage elements 3 are placed. The massage elements 3 are elastic rods pairwise connected at an angle with the possibility of changing it , each of which is made of two parts: the upper rods 4, fixed by fastening elements 5 to the lower rods 6. The rods 6 are in contact with the upper edges 7 of the holes 2 and are rigidly fixed to the joints 8 with holes 9, through which the joints 8 with Removably fastened to the supporting elements 10 (screws) and 11 (nuts) with the possibility of movement along the holes 2 of the base 1.

The fastening elements 5 are made, for example, in the form of screws (FIG. 3) screwed into the docked annular ends 12 of the upper and lower rods 4 and 6, respectively, of the massage elements 3. In this case, the longitudinal axis 13 of the annular ends

12 parallel to the axis of the 14 holes 2 of the base 1.

The proposed construction of the connection of the rods 4 and 6 allows their relative position to be changed around axes parallel to the axes 14.

The design of the device by means of the supporting elements 10 and 11 allows you to rigidly connect in one hole 2 of the base 1 several joints 8 pairs of rods b with the possibility of changing their relative position around the 4 holes 2, as well as with the possibility of changing the angle between the lower pairs of rods 6 when changing and the position of the joints 8 between them along the height of the holes 2 of the base 1.

Massage of the desired body area is performed as follows. Depending on the area of the treated area of the body in the holes x-2 of the base 1, the required number of massage elements 3 is collected,

Depending on the required directions of massage effects in various parts of the body area, in accordance with the scheme of the upcoming massage, as well as depending on the required intensity of exposure to the body, the following operations are performed:

1) a change in the mutual angular position between the parts of the pairs of rods in each o / verst 2 due to:

-changing the position of the upper parts of the rods 4 with respect to the lower parts b around the axes 13 of the annular ends 12 of these rods, followed by their quick fixation by fasteners 5,

- changing the angles between the lower parts of the pairs of rods b when changing the positions of the joints 8 along the height of the holes 2 of the base 1 (made by tightening the screws of the supporting elements 10 in the holes 9 of the joints 8);

2) changes in the mutual angular position between the rods of the massage elements 3 in adjacent holes 2 (by turning them around the axes 14 of the holes 2);

3) installation in the holes 2 of several massage elements 3 by joints on each other with their subsequent fixation by the supporting elements 10, 11.

The sequence of operations for preparing the device for the massage procedure can be arbitrary and depends on the scheme of the upcoming massage and the skills of the massage therapist (being massaged during massage). Static massage, for example, of the back, is performed in the supine position of a person on a device mounted on a hard (floor, couch), or soft (sofa.

bed, couch) to the base, or in a sitting position in the chair when the device is mounted on its back. Dynamic massage, for example, self-massage of the back, is performed either in the sitting position in the chair by reciprocating the body from the back to the back of the chair on which the device is mounted, or from the sitting position, for example on the floor, when the device is located behind the back, both with hands they cover the upper parts of the legs and gently lay their backs on the device, then after 1-2 seconds they take the seed position, etc.

During the massage, the working ends of the upper rods 4 move both in the direction of actions on them from the side of the body section (perpendicular to the plane of the base 1), and in the directions perpendicular to these effects (parallel to the plane of the base 1). ends of the pairs of upper rods 4 in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the base 1 body parts in

At the 5 contact points, the working ends experience compressive, kneading deformations, and when moving them in directions parallel to the plane of the base 1, plane deformations (ironing, rubbing) are experienced.

The implementation of the upper ends of the rods 4 in the form of interchangeable bodies with surfaces of variable curvature provides various massage effects in terms of intensity and type.

Fig. 4 shows an example of the arrangement of the elements of the device during massage, for example, the back section, according to the scheme that implements circular massage effects in the places where the massage elements contact the body above the base hole (circular effects of small diameters).

Thus, in the proposed device design, the number of possible combinations of the mutual positions of the massage rods for each hole of the base, achieved by independent adjustments of the positions of the parts of the rods, is significantly greater than in the prototype device, and the possibility of installing several massage elements in any hole of the base using the considered adjustments, for example to realize circular massage effects of small diameters, exacerbates the advantages of the claimed device in terms of more a wide range of regulation of the directions and intensity of massage effects on the body in front of the prototype device.
