State of the art

In general, people working while sitting in an armchair or leading a sedentary lifestyle, often in the wrong, crooked posture, may experience cervical rheumatism, back pain, scoliosis, intervertebral disc disease, and sciatic neuralgia.

In the market for this kind of disease offer a variety of types of physiotherapy. For therapy involving correction of the spine and treatment of pain in the spine when the patient is lying, a pillow or additional device is needed to maintain the patient's S-shaped spine, since it is difficult to maintain a normal spine if the patient is lying on the device.

In this situation, you can aggravate the disease, since the use of a pillow under the neck (cervical spine) makes the neck straight. Moreover, additional devices are used to influence the thigh area and the hips themselves.

As a result, such devices lead to additional costs of time and money for users due to the application of various methods of using the device for each procedure and each course of treatment.

Furthermore, according to FIG. 1, if we consider a sleeping mattress with an integrated device for treating the spine (registered as the publication of the patent of the Republic of Korea No. 10-2001-0054604 09/05/2001), the rest of the massage device is straightforward, which leads to a weakening massage effect for the spine and thigh area . In addition, due to the size and weight of the design of the internal massage rollers, the storage and transport capabilities of such devices are limited.

Disclosure of invention

To solve the above problems, the following invention is directed to creating a convenient folding massage device that can be easily transported due to its configuration in the transport position and which reduces storage restrictions, since users can fold this device after use.

Moreover, such a device provides separate massage of the cervical spine, thoracic spine, lower back and thighs simultaneously when the patient is lying on the surface of the device.

The general configuration of the present invention is as follows. The main tabletop contains a massage section equipped with a protruding upper part located between the two heating sections of the main tabletop, a hinge section equipped with a hinge for folding the device located below, two supports of the main tabletop, a pocket for the controller and a power supply at the bottom of the tabletop, as well as a handle and wheels mounted separately in the upper and lower parts.

A module for massage of the cervical spine is mounted on top of the base frame. A module for lower back massage is installed in the middle part of the base frame.

A module for hips massage is installed on the bottom of the base frame. The support for the feet is combined with the support for the hips located closer to the upper part of the patient’s body and the heating section for the auxiliary worktop and is made of rubber. The auxiliary worktop combined with the hinged section indicated above has sufficient durability to withstand multiple folding twice (180 °) and folding.

In the above pocket for the controller, the holder for the controller and the controller itself are fixed.

Another feature of the present invention is that the main tabletop support and the handle can be folded and put into special pockets made in this main tabletop from below.

In the same way, the support for the auxiliary worktop can be folded and put away in a pocket made in the auxiliary worktop from below. In addition, under the main worktop are components for assembling racks, allowing you to attach and disconnect racks.

Another characteristic feature of the present invention is that an adiabatic line is built into the heating sections of the main countertop and the auxiliary countertop. The surface cushion and massage rollers of the sections for the cervical spine, lower back and thighs are made of turmania and provide heating using a heating element located inside the device.

As indicated above, the device of the present invention allows for separate and simultaneous massage of the cervical spine, thoracic spine, lower back and thighs when the patient is lying on the surface of the device. In particular, the present invention allows to ensure a comfortable position for the patient by raising his head by installing the protruding part of the countertop in the area where the head connects to the cervical spine and lifting part of the thigh region above the lower back and thoracic spine.

In addition, the device according to the present invention can be folded in half after the completion of the treatment procedure, which eases the limitations caused by the lack of storage space and the optimal shape for transportation, and makes it possible to conveniently transport the proposed folding massage device for the whole body.
