Description

The utility model relates to medical equipment, to massage devices, in particular to roller massagers, and can be used as a means for reflexotherapy effects on the human body for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes.

Well-known roller massagers include an elastic base made in the form of a body of revolution of a given configuration, mainly in the form of a cylinder, and mounted on the corresponding armature of the massager with the possibility of rotation around the longitudinal axis of the body of rotation. Metal needles are fixed in the elastic base, the tips of which extend beyond the elastic base, forming the working side of the massager (for example, http: http://argonizm.ru/valik-universalnyy?tracking=53ae8605ccb90). Roller massagers, unlike static applicators, carry out a dynamic effect (the so-called “needle shower”) due to repeated short-term effects of needles on the reflex points of the user's body.

Common signs of well-known roller massagers and the claimed solution are: a massager, including an elastic base made in the form of a volumetric body of rotation of a given configuration, means of fixing the base on the massager armature with the possibility of rotation around the longitudinal axis of the base, as well as metal needles fixed in an elastic base, whose tips extend beyond the elastic base with the formation of the working side of the massager.

When performing massage procedures, it is important that the working side of the massager can adapt as much as possible to the curved sections of the user's body, ensuring uniformity of reflex effect. In well-known massagers, the ability to adapt to curved sections of the user's body is provided only by the elastic properties of the base, which limits the adaptive capabilities of the massager.

As a prototype, the applicator Lyapko, known by the patent of Ukraine for invention No. 54480, IPC A61H 39/08, A61H 11/00, the filing date of July 15, 1999, was selected.

The applicator includes an elastic base, which can be made in the form of a hollow cylindrical roller, continuous in the circumferential direction or rolled into a cylindrical shape from a plate, the edges of which are interconnected at the junction. In an elastic base, needles are fixed, the tips of which extend beyond the elastic base, forming the working side of the applicator. The roller is mounted on at least one casing, which is mounted to rotate on the axis or mounted on the shaft.

Needles can be mounted on the roller in at least two annular bands with gaps between them. Such an applicator enables the needles to act on selected reflex zones with the exception of their effect on other zones (for example, the possibility of needles acting on both sides of the spinal trunk).

The elastic base can be made in the form of at least two hollow cylindrical rollers, which are fixed with gaps between them on the shells mounted on the axis with the possibility of rotation or mounted on the shaft. Such an applicator also allows the needles to act on selected reflex zones with the exception of their effects on other zones.

The base can be made in the form of a one-piece roller mounted on the shaft and mounted for rotation on the axis, which simplifies its design and manufacturing technology by eliminating the need for shells, but reduces the elasticity of the base.

The base can be made in the form of at least two solid castors mounted on a shaft or mounted with the possibility of rotation on the axis with gaps between them.

Common features of the prototype and the claimed solution are: a massager, including an elastic base made in the form of a volumetric body of rotation of a given configuration, means of fixing the base on the armature of the massager with the possibility of rotation around the longitudinal axis of the base, as well as metal needles fixed in an elastic base, the tips of which protrude beyond the elastic base with the formation of the working side of the massager.

It is important that when performing massage procedures, the working side of the massager (the tip of the needles) can adapt to the curved sections of the user's body as much as possible, ensuring uniformity of reflex effect to increase the effectiveness of the massage. In the prototype, the ability of the massager to adapt to curved sections of the user's body is provided only by the elastic properties of the base, which limits the adaptive capabilities of the massager.

The basis of the invention is the task of increasing the adaptive ability of the massager to curved sections of the body of the user by increasing the elastic properties of the massager, which increases the effectiveness of massage procedures.

The problem is solved in that in the massager, which includes an elastic base made in the form of a volumetric body of rotation of a given configuration, means for fixing the base on the armature of the massager with the possibility of rotation around the longitudinal axis of the base, as well as metal needles fixed in an elastic base, the tips of which stand for the limits of the elastic base with the formation of the working side of the massager, in accordance with a useful model, the means of fixing the elastic base on the armature of the massager are made in the form of elastic diaphragms um, coupled with a flexible basis and made with annular corrugations.

These signs are essential features of the utility model, since together they ensure the achievement of a technical result - increasing the adaptive ability of the massager to curved sections of the user's body

The implementation of means for fixing the elastic base to the massager armature in the form of elastic diaphragms with annular corrugations makes it possible to deform them both in the radial and axial directions and to change the position of the body of revolution (elastic base) relative to the fixed (fixed to the massager armature) axis of rotation. That is, the massager implements a flexible suspension of the body of revolution, which increases the adaptive ability of the massager to curved sections of the user's body.

The diaphragms can be made integrally with the elastic base, or as separate parts connected to the elastic base accordingly.

The elastic base can be made in the form of a cylinder or a sphere, or a hemisphere.

The needles can be made in the form of a rod with at least one local thickening, as a means of fixing the needle in an elastic basis.

The needles can be made in the form of a U-shaped bracket, the ends of which protrude beyond the elastic base, and the crosspiece is made with bends forming at least one loop, the top of which extends beyond the elastic base.

The elastic diaphragms can be made with trunnions, the axes of which are coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the base, or with bosses, the holes of which are coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the base, or can be fixed on a tube whose axis is coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the base. These features of the diaphragms provide the possibility of rotation together with an elastic base around the longitudinal axis of the base.

It is advisable to perform the needles with at least a single-layer metal coating, the electrochemical potential of which differs from the electrochemical potential of the needle material, which provides the known therapeutic effects of skin galvanization and electrophoresis.

The needles can be made with a metal coating and a dielectric layer between the metal coating and the needle with exposure of the needle tip. With this design, the needles act as electrodes, with which they act on the user's body with electrical signals.

The needles can be fixed in an elastic basis with the possibility of the formation of nodes of reflex action, each of which includes at least two needles with different electrochemical potentials. This embodiment provides a high intensity of the effects of galvanization and galvanic electrophoresis without performing technologically complex metal coatings on the needles.

The massager includes an elastic base made in the form of a volumetric body of rotation of a given configuration, in particular in the form of a cylinder 1, which is connected to elastic diaphragms 2 with corrugations 3 mounted on the armature of the massager with the possibility of rotation of cylinder 1 around its longitudinal axis 4, as well as metal needles 5 fixed in an elastic base (in the body of cylinder 1), the tips of which 6 extend beyond the elastic base, forming the working side of the massager. The armature of the massager includes a fork-shaped bracket 7, at the free ends of which 8 are installed apertures 2 with the possibility of rotation around the axis 4. The bracket 7 is connected to the handle 9 of the massager (Fig. 1).

Figure 2 shows the implementation of the diaphragms 2 with one annular corrugation - the ring corrugation can protrude into the cavity of the cylinder 1 (corrugation 10), or protrude outside the cavity of the cylinder 1 (corrugation 11).

The elastic diaphragm 2 can be made with two oppositely directed annular corrugations 12, 13 (Fig. 3). The nodes of the rotational connection of the elastic diaphragms 2 with the free ends 8 of the fork-like bracket 7 can have different designs.

In FIG. 4 shows an example of the implementation of elastic diaphragms 2 with pins 14, the axes of which are coaxial with the longitudinal axis 4 of cylinder 1. The free ends 8 of the fork-like bracket 7 are made with holes 15 in which the pins 14 are mounted for rotation.

In FIG. 5 shows an example of the implementation of elastic diaphragms 2 with embedded bosses 16, the openings of which are coaxial with the longitudinal axis 4 of cylinder 1. The free ends 8 of the fork-like bracket 7 are made with half shafts 17 that are rotatably mounted in the holes of the bosses 16.

In FIG. 6 shows an example of the execution of the nodes of the rotational connection of the elastic diaphragms 2 with the free ends 8 of the fork-like bracket 7, when the elastic diaphragms 2 are mounted on the tube 18, the axis of which is coaxial with the longitudinal axis 4 of the cylinder 1, and the half-axes 17 of the free ends 8 of the fork-like bracket 7 are installed in the tube 18 with the possibility of rotation.

The elastic diaphragms can be made integral with the elastic base, in particular with the cylinder 1 (Fig. 2-6, elastic diaphragms 2) or as separate parts connected to the elastic base (Fig. 7, elastic diaphragms 19).

The elastic base can be made in the form of a cylinder 1 (Fig. 2-7), or a sphere 20 (Fig. 8, 9), or a hemisphere 21 (Fig. 10), or other volumetric bodies of revolution of a given configuration (not shown).

The massager can be made with several rotation bodies mounted on a single axis of rotation. In FIG. 11 shows an example of a massager with two bodies of revolution - spheres 22, 23 mounted on the tube 24, as on a single axis of rotation.

The massager can be made with several bodies of rotation mounted on separate links of the broken axis with the possibility of rotation. On Fig shows an example of a massager with three bodies of revolution - spheres 25, 26, 27 mounted on the broken axis 28 with the possibility of rotation. With this embodiment, the axis of rotation of the spheres 25, 26, 27 are not perpendicular to the direction of movement of the massager. The mechanical effect of the needles 5 on the skin of the user is expressed in pricking and some sliding of the needles 5 on the skin in the direction of movement of the massager, which enhances the effectiveness of the massage procedure.

Needles 5 may have different designs. In FIG. 13-21 show examples of needles 5.

So, the needles 5 can be made of wire in the form of a U-shaped bracket, the free ends of which 29 extend beyond the base 1 of the working side of the massager, and the cross member 30 is made with a loop 31, the tip 32 of which extends beyond the base 1 on the working side of the base 1 (Fig. 13), or on the opposite side of the base 1 (Fig. 14). The cross member 30 can be made with two loops 33, 34, the peaks 35, 36 of which protrude beyond the base 1 from opposite sides of the base 1 (Fig. 15). Needles 5 can be made of wire 37 with a bent end 38 (Fig. 16).

Needles 5 can be made in the form of a rod 39 with a tip 40 and with a head 41 (carnations, Fig. 17), or with one local bulge 42 on the rod 39 (Fig. 18) or with two local bulges 42 on the rod 39 (Fig. 19). The head 41, thickenings 42 are means for securing the needles in an elastic basis.

In FIG. 20 shows an example of a needle 5 with a metal coating 43 with a needle tip 40 drawn. Coating material 43 and rod material 39 have different electrochemical potentials. In this case, galvanic pairs “rod 39 - coating 43” are formed, which upon contact with the user's skin cause the known effects of galvanizing the skin and galvanic electrophoresis, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the massage procedure.

In FIG. 21 shows an example of a needle 5 with a metal coating 44 electrically isolated from the rod 39 by a dielectric layer 45. In this embodiment, the needles are bipolar electrodes that can be applied to the user's body with electrical signals of various sizes and shapes, which are applied to the metal coatings 44 and the rods 39 from an external source of electrical signals.

In FIG. 22, 23 shows a fragment of the massager, the needles of which are made in the form of U-shaped staples, the ends of which 29 extend beyond the elastic base 1, and the cross member 30 is made with a loop 31, the tip 32 of which extends beyond the elastic base 1 on the working side of the base 1. Loops 31 can be used as elements of reflex action (the protrusion of the vertex 32 is equal to the protrusion of the ends 29) or as restrictive protrusions (the protrusion of the vertex 32 is less than the protrusion of the ends 29 by a value A), which prevent the possibility of mechanical damage user skin.

In FIG. 24, 25 shows a fragment of a massager with electrical means for connecting needles in the form of wires. The needles are made in the form of U-shaped staples, the ends of which 29 extend beyond the elastic base 1, and the cross member 30 is made with a loop 31, the tip 32 of which extends beyond the elastic base 1 on the side opposite to the working side of the base 1. Loops 31 are used for electric the connection of the selected groups of needles using conductors 46, 47, laid under the vertices 32 of the loops 31. The conductors 46, 47 are zigzag, which preserves the elastic properties of the base 1 and prevents damage to the conductors 46, 47 when the base 1 is deformed.

In FIG. 26, 27 shows a fragment of the massager, the needles of which are made in the form of U-shaped staples, the ends of which 29 extend beyond the elastic base 1, and the cross member 30 is made with two loops 33, 34, the peaks 35, 36 of which extend beyond the elastic base 1 opposite sides of the base 1. Loops 33 with vertices 35 can be used as elements of reflex action or as elements that limit the degree of deformation of the user's skin by the ends of 29 needles and prevent the possibility of mechanical damage to the skin. Loops 34 with vertices 36 are used to electrically connect selected groups of needles using conductors 48, 49 laid under the vertices 36 of loops 34.

At least one of the ends of the U-shaped needles can be made with at least a single-layer coating, the electrochemical potential of which is different from the electrochemical potential of the needle material.

In FIG. 28 shows an example when one of the ends of the needle (end 50) is made with a continuous single-layer coating 51 of a material whose electrochemical potential differs from the electrochemical potential of the needle material. This results in galvanic microcurrents 52 between the coating 51 and the tip 53 of the needle.

In FIG. 29 shows an exemplary embodiment of a metal-coated needle 54 with exposed needle tips. Coating material 54 and needle material have different electrochemical potentials. This results in galvanic microcurrents 55 between the coating 54 and the tips of the needle.

In FIG. 30 shows an example when the ends 50, 53 of the needle are made with different single-layer metal coatings 56, 57 with the exposed tips of the needle. Coating materials 56, 57 and needle material have different electrochemical potentials. This results in galvanic microcurrents 58 between the coatings 56, 57, microcurrents 59 between the coating 57 and the tip of the tip 53 of the needle, microcurrents 60 between the coating 56 and the tip of the tip 50 of the needle.

Means for electrical connection of needles and metal coatings of needles can be made in an elastic basis.

In FIG. 31 shows a fragment of a massager, the needles of which are made with a metal coating 44 and a dielectric layer 45 between the metal coating 44 and the needle shaft 39, exposing the needle tip 40 (FIG. 21). Means of electrical connection are made in the form of conductors 61, 62 located in an elastic base 1, which connect, respectively, the metal coating 44 and the stems 39 of the needles with the opposite poles of the source of electrical signals.

In FIG. 32 shows a fragment of a similar massager in which the electrical connection means are made in the form of electrically conductive layers 63, 64 in an elastic base 1, which connect, respectively, the metal coatings 44 and the needle rods 39 to the opposite poles of the source of electrical signals.

In FIG. 33 shows a diagram of connecting needles and their metal coatings to opposite poles of an electrical signal source using conductors 61, 62, 65, 66. Conductors 65, 66 pass through elastic diaphragms 2 and are connected to metal bosses 16, which, in turn, are in contact with semi-axes 17 connected to the opposite poles of the source of electrical signals through the lateral links 7 of the fork-like bracket.

The needles can be fixed in an elastic basis with the possibility of the formation of nodes of reflex action, each of which includes at least two needles with different electrochemical potentials.

In FIG. 34, 35 shows a fragment of a massager with nodes of reflex exposure. The needles are made in the form of U-shaped staples, the ends of which 67 extend beyond the elastic base 1, and the cross-members 68 are fixed in the elastic base 1. The ends of the 67 needles form reflex action nodes 69, each of which includes four needles with different electrochemical potentials (four ends 67 four needles with different electrochemical potentials). The ends 67 of the needles are in contact with each other in the nodes of the reflex action 69.

In FIG. 36, 37 shows a fragment of the massager, in which the nodes of the reflex action 70 are formed by four needles 71 and the fifth needle 72, made with a dielectric coating 73 and located between the needles 71. Thus, all the needles 71, 72 are electrically isolated from each other, and the nodes of the reflex Impact 70 perform the function of electrode assemblies with five poles, with the help of which it becomes possible to expose the user's body to electrical signals of various sizes and shapes. The upper layer 74 is in contact with the needles 71, the lower layer 75 is in contact with the needles 72. The electrically conductive layers 74, 75 are connected to a source of electrical signals.

In FIG. 38, as an example, a diagram of galvanic microcurrents is shown in the reflex node 69 formed by four needles 67 that are in contact with each other and made of different metals (or with coatings of different metals) —Cu, Ag, Zn, Au. Six galvanic pairs are formed in such a node: Cu-Ag (with microcurrents 76), Ag-Zn (with microcurrents 77), Zn-Au (with microcurrents 78), Au-Cu (with microcurrents 79), Cu-Zn (with microcurrents 80), Ag-Au (with microcurrents 81). That is, such a design provides the effects of galvanization of high intensity galvanic electrophoresis (many galvanic pairs and microcurrents) without performing technologically complex metal coatings on the needles.

In FIG. 39 shows a diagram of connecting the needles to the source of electrical signals in the node 70 of the reflex effect, formed by four needles 71 and one needle 72, made with a dielectric coating 73 and located between the needles 71 with the possibility of electrical isolation of the needles 71, 72, the electrode assemblies with five poles provide the possibility of exposure to the user's skin with electrical signals of various sizes and shapes.
