The technical field to which the utility model relates.

The utility model relates to medicine, in particular to devices for massage mainly the phalanges of the fingers and is intended for the prevention and treatment of various diseases by mechanical action on biologically active zones.

A device for acupuncture is known, containing a body in the form of a ring on which a rod with a rounded end is mounted, which directly affects the point (RU 9396, A 61 H 39/08, 1999.03.16). The device operates as follows. The ring is installed on the massaged area, and with his free hand it is intensively moved back and forth along the axis of the finger and back and forth around the axis of the finger, kneading the massaged area.

Since this massager affects only one point, it is necessary to use a free hand to cover the entire exposure area, which reduces the convenience and effectiveness of the massage, increases the time of the procedure. It is obvious that during the massage it is impossible to perform any work or the usual actions associated with the motor skills of fingers and hands.

Ring massager

State of the art

The closest in technical essence and the achieved result to the described massager is a ring massager containing a ring-shaped elastic element (RU 9395, A 61 H 39/08, 199.03.16). The elastic element of this massager is a spiral spring, folded annularly, each coil of which is made in the form of a polygon. This device is equipped with an annular support, on which a spiral spring is placed and a handle holder. This massager works as follows. Holding the handle-holder with your free hand, cover the massaged area with a ring-shaped elastic element and intensively move the massager reciprocating along the axis of the finger or reciprocatingly around the axis of the finger. This massager allows you to cover a large area of exposure.

However, when using this device must be held with your free hand. This circumstance is a significant drawback, since it entails a change in the degree of pressing of the device to the massed area due to the inevitable natural pulsation of the muscles and reduces convenience in its operation. The need to hold the device with your free hand also reduces the degree of psychological comfort during the procedure, which negatively affects the effectiveness of treatment. It is obvious that during the treatment procedure it is impossible to perform any work or habitual actions associated with the motor skills of fingers and hands.

Utility Model Essence

The objective of this utility model is to develop and create a ring massager with improved characteristics.

as a result of solving this problem, it is possible to obtain technical results consisting in the fact that for carrying out medical procedures there is no need to act on the massager or hold it with your free hand, the convenience of operation is improved, it is possible to carry out massage during normal employment or work, while ensuring comfortable condition during the treatment and increases its effectiveness while simplifying the design and the overall reduction in manufacturing costs Eden.

These technical results are achieved by the fact that in a ring massager containing a ring-shaped elastic element, the ring-shaped elastic element is made in the form of a twisted cylindrical spring, the ends of which are interconnected, and the inner diameter of the ring elastic element is selected from 3 mm to 34 mm, and its length is from 3.5 mm to 32 mm.

A distinctive feature of the described utility model is that the ring-shaped elastic element is made in the form of a twisted cylindrical spring, the ends of which are interconnected, which allows you to place it directly on the desired section of the phalanx of the finger without the help of any additional structural elements, i.e. eliminates the need to place an annular elastic element on a support, etc. With an inner diameter of the annular elastic element of less than 3 mm and more than 34 mm, and also if the length is more than 32 mm it is almost impossible to use, since these dimensions are due to the actual dimensions of the phalanges of the fingers. If the length of the annular elastic element is less than 3.5 mm, its effectiveness is significantly reduced, since the effect is on a small width of the phalanx of the finger.

In addition, the coiled coil spring can be made of wire of round or square cross section, and the coil of the spring

it is advisable to perform SI ZI - shaped or C) shaped.

A coiled coil spring can be made of non-metallic material, and a coiled coil compression spring or a coiled coil spring is used as a coiled coil spring.

Thus, the ring massager is formed only by a ring-shaped elastic element and the therapeutic effect massaging the biologically active zone over its entire width can be achieved by changing the shape of the soft tissues of the phalanx of the finger with the natural motor skills of those fingers on which the massager is worn, without interfering with the usual actions.

Information confirming the usefulness of

The ring massager contains an elastic element made in the form of a twisted cylindrical spring, the ends of which are interconnected. The coil of the spring can be made round, elongated, etc.

The described massager has the following basic geometric parameters:

models

-inner diameter d of the annular elastic element from 3 mm to 34 mm;

the detectable diameter D of the annular elastic element is from 12 mm to 40 mm;

- the length equal to the largest dimension H of the cross section of a twisted cylindrical spring forming an annular elastic element from 3.5 mm to 32 mm.

The preferred characteristics of the annular elastic element, which is a twisted cylindrical spring, include the following:

-diameter d wire from 0.5 mm to 3 mm;

- wire cross-sectional shape (round, square, etc.);

- the inner diameter of the annular elastic element is selected from 3 mm to 34 mm;

- spring index from 3 to 25;

- the modulus of elasticity of the spring material from 0.1 10 N / mm to 2.2 10

- the module of the shift of the spring material from 1.4 10 N / mm to 8 10 N / mm

-Axial spring compliance from 40 mm / N to 300 mm / N;

-flexibility from 50 mm / N to 400 mm / N;

-Angle of lifting turns from 3 degrees to 20 degrees

- the ratio of the larger side of the coil to the smaller side of the coil from 3 to 30;

- step of turns 1 - 5mm.

A coil spring can be made of various materials, both metallic (steel, duralumin, copper, titanium, bronze, gold, silver, platinum, etc.), and non-metallic (thermosetting and thermoplastic resins - textolite, polyurethane.

l) A

polypropylene, etc., compounds, composite materials, ceramics, minerals, etc.).

The effectiveness of the therapeutic effect is determined by the parameters and time of exposure of the massager to the site of the phalanx of the fingers. So the intensity of the impact is determined by the geometric characteristics of the annular elastic element and the elastic properties of the material. It is supposed to produce a wide range of ring massagers for various occasions.

The effectiveness of using a massager with certain parameters to achieve the maximum technical result is determined empirically, based on a summary of the experience of the practical use of massagers of various types.

The massager is used as follows. Depending on the goals of therapy, the required parameters of exposure to the biologically active site (intensity, exposure time, etc.) are determined.

Depending on the required intensity and geometric parameters of the area subjected to the therapeutic effect, the material of the elastic element and the dimensions of the massager are selected. Set the selected type of massager on the massaged area (mainly on the first phalanges of the fingers). Then you can carry out the usual manipulations, do the usual things or do some work. By changing the shape of the soft tissues and the dynamics of the musculoskeletal muscles during the natural motor skills of the fingers and hand, a kneading effect on the massaged area is provided.

The intensity of the impact can be increased by additionally squeezing the massager with the fingers of your free hand, forcibly moving it back and forth along the axis of the finger or back and forth around the axis of the finger.

Thus, the proposed ring massager allows for therapeutic massage of biologically active areas (mainly the first phalanges of the fingers) without interruption from the usual activities or work, while ensuring a comfortable state and high efficiency of the procedure. 1
