Description

The invention relates to the field of massage and can be used to massage a person's face.

A well-known massage apparatus contains a housing in which balls of various diameters are installed with the possibility of free rotation, a separator with balls and springs and an annular gear rack rigidly connected to the separator and a handle with an axis on which the drive gear is installed (A.S. SU 1704778, May 31, 1989). According to a well-known solution, some of the balls are made of a dielectric, and some of them are made of a conductive material. In this case, one ball is made hollow for the drug and includes a corrugated middle part. The mentioned ball can be deformed during the massage, while a portion of the medicine is squeezed out of it, which is rubbed over the skin by other balls. In addition, the housing is equipped with a vibrator with an electric motor.

The disadvantages of the known solution include its complexity: the presence of a large range of components, some of which are highly labor-intensive to manufacture, for example, an annular gear rack, an electric motor, a corrugated ball for medicine. The disadvantages of the known solution should also include the presence of restrictions on its use, the presence of electricity for the electric motor: in the absence of electricity, the efficiency of the device decreases.

Known massage ball Trigger Point MB1, which is a smooth ball 65 mm in size, made of foamed polymer (URL: https://vplate.ru/massazhery/myachi/ (published date: 04/28/2021). The product is made in the form of a hollow sphere constant radius.

Known Massage ball Bradex "Wild Cucumber", which is a hollow product in the form of a hyperboloid of revolution, made of elastic material with a relief on the outer surface (URL: https://www.sima-land.ru/9202357/massazhnyy-myach-bradex -dikiy-ogurec/ (published date: 07/19/2022)).

The common disadvantages of the known solutions include a limited functional impact on the patient: the use of the known solution involves only a manual effect on the treated surface of the face or body. It is known that a great synergistic effect is given by a parallel effect on the patient's senses, for example, by sound (see, for example, URL: http://massagelib.ru/news/item/f00/s03/n0000307/index.shtml (date publ. : 02.12.2015)).

The closest, in terms of essential features - the prototype of the claimed invention - is the ball "Asterisks", luminous, with a squeaker, MIX color, made in the form of an elastic volumetric hollow product made of an elastic polymer material with additional elements placed inside it (URL: https:// www.sima-land.ru/1654228/myach-zvezdochki-svetovoy-s-pischalkoy-cveta-miks/ (published on 12/13/2016)). The known solution is made in the form of a sphere of constant outer radius, on the outer surface of which a special relief can be made. Additional elements placed inside the sphere are a power source and associated light and sound sources. When the device is mechanically affected, for example, when it is squeezed by hands or hit on the floor, the sphere is illuminated from the inside, and a sharp sound signal is heard, usually a squeak.

The disadvantages of the known solution include the inconsistency of its design with the requirements for massage devices, in particular, the presence of a sound signal in the form of a squeak cannot be considered desirable and favorable when performing a massage of any part of the body, especially the face. In addition, the constant outer radius limits the possibilities of massage, while in practice it is often necessary to expose the patient to a variable area of the instrument. For this reason, professional massage therapists use the impact, for example, with the entire palm, as well as with the phalanges and fingertips, changing the contact area and pressure on the patient's skin surface (see, for example, Elements of therapeutic massage as a means of rehabilitation for diseases of the musculoskeletal system : textbook / comp.: L. A. Kiryanova, I. V. Pereverzeva, S. K. Rukavishnikova, L. B. Efimova-Komarova - Ulyanovsk: UlGTU, 2014. - 111 p.). If the massage is performed using special devices, there is a need for devices with different shapes and sizes of contact elements.

The technical problem to be solved by the invention is the creation of a complex psychophysical effect on the patient during massage, which consists in the combined effect of rubbing and pressure on human tissues and organs and sound therapy and implemented using the proposed device for massage.

The technical result of the implementation of the proposed invention is to reduce the range of equipment used for psychophysical impact on the patient.

The solution of the stated technical problem is achieved by making the massage device in the form of an elastic volumetric hollow product formed by conjugation of two parts having different outer radii and filled with metal balls.

This feature is new, significant, industrially applicable and aimed at achieving the claimed technical result.

The structure of the massage device proposed as the present invention is illustrated by the drawing (see Fig.), where it is schematically shown in section.

The positions are marked:

1 - shell,

2 - part of the shell of smaller radius,

3 - part of the shell of a larger radius,

4 - balls.

The shell thickness is 3 mm. The outer radius of shell part 2 is 40 mm, the outer radius of shell part 3 is 50 mm. The pairing of parts 2 and 3 is made in such a way that the diameter of the massage device in the interface zone smoothly changes in size from the diameter of part 2 to the diameter of part 3. In part 2 of the shell 1, a hole closed by a plug is made - a loading window for falling balls 4 into the shell 1. fig. the loading window is conditionally not shown.

Metal balls are used as balls 4. Balls 4 can have different sizes. The number of balls 4 of each size fraction within the specified range can be arbitrary and is not the subject of protection in this application. The total volume (number) of balls 4 poured into the shell 1 is selected empirically, but should not be more than half of the internal volume of the shell 1, since the total mass of the massage device increases so much that it leads to increased fatigue of the massage therapist. By way of example, not excluding other embodiments, the balls 4 may be hunting shot or shot shot. The use of crushed technical shot is impractical due to the risks of damage to the shell during the massage.

Other design features of the proposed device for massage, not disclosed in the application materials, are known and are not subject to patent protection.

Proposed as the present invention, the device for massage works as follows.

Steel balls are pre-filled into the shell 1, after which the loading window in the shell 1 is closed with a plug.

The massage therapist or the patient himself performs the massage in accordance with the accepted technique. During the movement of the massage device over the skin and in the process of turning the massage device over, if it is necessary to change the parts of the device in contact with the skin, the balls 4 are spilled inside the shell 1. This process is accompanied by a sound that reminds the patient of the sound of rain, which, according to the applicant's experience, has a beneficial effect on the psychophysical state of a person.

The thickness of the shell 1, its material, as well as the diameter of the balls 4 are selected so that during the massage the balls 4 do not show through the shell 1, which could cause discomfort to the patient.

The use of the proposed device for massage does not require the presence of several massage tools, as well as the presence of additional sound-reproducing equipment.

An example of the implementation of the invention.

A shell with radii of parts 2 and 3 of 40 mm and 50 mm, respectively, was used. The shell thickness was 3 mm. Inside the shell was loaded with a mixture of hunting shot numbers No. 10, No. 11, No. 12, taken in equal quantities. In this case, the total mass of the shot loaded into the shell was 160 g.

Performed facelift facial massage. We worked first on one side of the device, then on the other side of the device - parts of the shell with different outer radii. Worked on the neckline, shoulders and lateral neck area. Examination and questioning after a massage course of fifteen patients showed a decrease in edema, an improvement in blood microcirculation and skin turgor, and a pronounced aesthetic effect. Patients noted relaxation and complete relaxation, which was facilitated, among other things, by the sound of balls being poured inside the shell, perceived by patients as the sound of rain.
