RU70797U1 - MASSAGER FOR BACK SELF-MASSAGE - Google Patents

Abstract

The massager for self-massage of the back contains a support board with slots in which massage rollers are installed. The patient, holding on to the support of a fixed board, rolls his back on the rollers back and forth.

Description

The utility model relates to medical equipment, in particular to means for conducting massage.

Known devices that are designed to carry out body massage. For example, a massage simulator (UA 30611 A, А61Н 7/00, publ. 15.12.2000) consists of a bed, which is made in the form of a body with a coating of elastic material fixed to it, and a carriage located inside the body and driven into a reciprocating electric drive. The carriage has shafts on which the massaging elements are located in the form of rollers. The device operates as follows. A person lays on a coating of elastic material, include an electric drive that drives the carriage. The rollers during movement are in direct contact with the coating, through which they exert pressure on the human body. The intensity of the massage is regulated by changing the speed of rotation of the electric drive. The disadvantages of such a device is the need for an electrical network for the operation of the device, the large dimensions of the device, the inability to use the device independently, without assistance. Such a device can only be used in medical institutions.

A device for simultaneous stretching and massage of the spine (UA 1343 U, А61Н 37/00, published on 08/15/2002) contains a support on which there is a support board, palm rests and a carriage. The supporting board is made of two parts: the main one - for placing the head of the person being massaged on it, and the sternum - for placing the person's torso. The main and sternal parts of the support board are articulated. In the sternum of the baseboard there is a window in the axial zone, which is covered with elastic material. Massage rollers that are spatially located in the sternum window are installed on the carriage

parts of the baseboard. The carriage is connected to the palm rest by means of a flexible cord. In addition, the device has three clips for the human body. The device works this way. A person fits on a support board, secures himself to the frame of the retainer, takes up the palm rest. The carriage with massage rollers is driven into reciprocating motion in the process of flexion and extension of the arms. The intensity of the massage is regulated by changing the frequency of flexion and extension of the hands. The disadvantages of this device are the large size and its complexity, the lack of sufficient contact between the back of a person and the rollers mounted on a carriage, which moves along a stationary body of a person. In addition, there is no possibility of changing the massage rollers, if there is a need to change the size of the rollers or the configuration of their surface

The task of creating a utility model is to create a simple, reliable and small-sized device for self-massage of the back, which can be used in any conditions, primarily at home and which will provide a higher quality massage due to the change of rollers and better contact of the human body with massage rollers.

The problem is solved due to the fact that the massager for self-massage of the back containing the backing board and massage rollers mounted on the backing board, the backing board has a through rectangular slot, on the sides of which there are non-through recesses for the massage rollers, and the massage rollers themselves are recessed with their axes in these depressions, while on each axis the rollers are arranged in pairs with a gap between each other. This arrangement of the rollers allows you to massage your back muscles without risk of damage to the spine . The installation of the rollers directly in the base plate, and not in the carriage, simplifies the design and allows you to make contact as tight as possible between the human body and the surface of the rollers. And the ability to install massage rollers by stacking their axles in the recesses allows you to change rollers.

It is preferable to arrange the through rectangular slot along the conditional longitudinal axial line of the support board.

It is more convenient to place recesses for massage rollers on both sides of the conditional longitudinal center line of the support board in pairs.

For more convenient use of the massager, the support board can be equipped with palm rests.

For a better explanation of the essence of the technical solution, drawings are attached, where:

The massager for self-massage of the back contains a backing board 1 having a through rectangular slot 2, on the sides of which there are non-through recesses 3 for fastening the massage rollers 4 in them, recessed by their axes 5 into the said recesses 3 with the possibility of the protrusion of the massage surfaces of the rollers 4 above the surface of the support board one.

The through rectangular slot 2 is located along the conditional longitudinal axial line of the support board 1.

Said recesses 3 are preferably arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the slot 2 along a conditional longitudinal axial line of the support board 1.

In addition, the massager has two stops 6 for hands, which are fixed on the board 1 with bolts 7.

Four rectangular support legs 8 are inserted into said board 1, which are included in the recesses 9. The rectangular support legs 8, in turn, are fixed in the recesses 9 with fixing bolts 10.

Massage rollers 3, depending on the purpose of the massage, can be the same in size, shape and surface configuration, and differing in size, shape and surface configuration, as shown in Fig.4.

In addition, the massage rollers 3 can be made of either solid or elastic materials or have a coating made of solid or elastic materials.

Also, the massage rollers 3 can have a smooth surface, or corrugated, or a surface with protrusions, or a surface with recesses.

In addition, the massager for self-massage of the back can be equipped with supporting elements that are installed on the support board 1. The supporting elements can be such that they allow you to install or fix the massager in a horizontal, vertical or inclined position.

An embodiment of the massager for self-massage of the back can be the case when the role of the supporting board 1 is played by a rectangular frame 11, on the sides of which there are grooves 3, in which massage rollers 4 are installed, recessed by their axes 5 into the grooves 3.

Said grooves 3 are preferably arranged in pairs on opposite lateral sides along a conditional longitudinal center line of the rectangular frame 11.

In this embodiment, the massager for self-massage of the back has one palm rest 12, which is mounted on a rectangular frame 11 with fixing bolts 13.

The sides of said rectangular frame 11 are interconnected by fixing bolts 14.

The device is used as follows. A person lays with his back on the support board with his head 1 to the side where there are no stops 6. At the same time, the spine is between the massage rollers 4. He grabs the stops 6 with his hands, rests his feet on the floor, and begins to bend and unbend his arms and legs. In this case, the human body moves back and forth relative to the supporting board 1, during which there is a tight contact of the back muscles with the massage rollers 4. The intensity of the massage is controlled by the frequency of flexion and extension of the arms. If necessary, a person can make small body deviations to the side so that

use the massager adjacent areas of the body.

If it is necessary to change one type of rollers, say with a soft smooth massaging surface, to another, say with a solid corrugated surface, they are simply removed from the grooves 3, in which they rest on their axes 5, and others are installed. Moreover, as shown in figures 1 and 2, the last pair of rollers has a larger diameter. This is due to the anatomical features of the human body, so that the relief of the roller surfaces better matches the lumbar deflection of the spine. But the rollers can be all the same diameter.

This example only illustrates the technical solution and the scope of the rights of patent holders is not limited to it, but includes all possible options that appeared in the process of design studies that do not go beyond the scope of this technical solution.
