' MASSAGE DEVICE Filed Jan. 25, 193e Patented Oct. 13, 1936 PATENT clerics YMASSAGE DEVICE Julius Richard Seidel, Breslau, Germany Application January 23, 1936, Serial No. 60,433 In Germany July 27, 1933 '2 Claims. (Cl. 128-57) This invention relates to a massage apparatus of. known type consisting of a roll to be filled with hot water and having a cover of absorbent material. These massage apparatus possess the inconvenience that the cover as it is in contact with the atmosphere cools very rapidly. These apparatus are not perfect as with them massaging with steam is not possible, at the utmost they enable rubbing in of moisture by means of the absorbent cover saturated with water. An-
other inconvenience is that by the direct pressing on to the body of the cover saturated with water the water flows over the body of the person who is being massaged.
The massage apparatus according to the in- Vention obviates these inconveniences. The roll to be lled with hot water has also a cover of absorbent material, but this cover is enclosed in a perforated, sieve-like envelope, preferably of rubber.
Two embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawing in which:-
Fig. 1 shows a massage roll in a section on line I-I of Fig. 2. Y
Fig. 2 is a cross section on line 2--2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 shows in longitudinal section on line 3-3 of Fig. 4 a massage roller of modified construction.
Fig. 4 is a cross section on line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 shows in elevation the massage roll illustrated in Fig. 3, the right hand handle and the cover being removed.
Fig. 6`shows on enlarg-ed scale a portion of the v envelope inV flat state.
Fig. '7 is a cross section on line 'I--l of Fig. 6.
In the massage apparatus shown in Figs. 1, 2, 6,
and 7 the hollow roll is designated by I and has on each of the end walls 2, 3 a threaded pin 4 or 5 on which a handle 9, 'I respectively has to be screwed. Holes in the end wall 2 adapted to be closed by screws 8, 9 serve the one for lling hot water into the hollow roll I and the other as outlet for the air. The other end wall 3 is of larger diameter than the end wall 2. The roll I has a cover I9 of absorbent material. A cylindrical outer cover or envelope I2, having pores II (Figs. 6 and 7) spaced at suitable distances and consisting preferably of rubber, encloses the cover IIJ. This envelope is open at one end and closed at the other end by a plate I3 having a central hole I4 through which the threaded pin 4 of end wall 2 of the roll I extends so that the handle 6 can be screwed on. The envelope I2 exerting 55 the massage eect has preferably well-known suction cups I5 (Figs. 6 and 7) designed to increase the effect of'the massage. The edge of the open end of envelope I2 is lined with a metal ring I6 (Fig. 1) designed to bear on the rim of the end plate 3 of roll I. The central hole I4 in the 5 end plate I3 has a bush Il of metal so that the envelope I3 can turn easily around the hollow roll I.
The operation of the apparatus is as followsz- The handle 6 is unscrewed and the envelope 10 I2 removed, whereupon after removing of the screws 8 and 9 the hollow roll is filled with hot water and the screws 8 and 9 are screwed in again. The cover I9 is then soaked in hot water, the envelope I2 slipped over the cover and the l5 handle 6 screwed on. For massaging the two handles are gripped with the hands and the rubber envelope is pressed slightly against the body and the apparatus rolled to and fro. The massage is a steam massage as the steam collect- 20 ing in the space IB between cover I0 and envelope I2,flows out through the pores II (Figs. 6,
'7) of the envelope. As a sucking effect is further produced by the suction cups I5, the skin of the body is massaged and simultaneously 25 treated by suction and by steam which is of great importance in respect of hygienics.` Rapid cooling of the cover I9 and of the hollow roll I is prevented by the envelope I2.
The massage roll shown in Figs. 3 to 5 diiers 30 from that shown in Figs. 1 and 2 in that between the absorbent cover of the hollow roll and the envelope a stationary hollow cylinder is arranged which is impermeable to water and steam, but has steam outlets at the point to be placed on the 35 body. 'Ihe steam from chamber I8 is therefore conducted to the envelope and through the same on to the body only at that side of the massage apparatus which faces the body, so that no steam flows out through the pores II of the envelope at 4Q any other portion of this envelope. The steam is thus thoroughly utilized and the hollow roll is better protected against rapid cooling.
In this form of construction the hollow cylinder I9 has a wide slot 29 extending over almost 45 the entire length of the cylinder and serving as steam outlet. The hollow cylinder I9 is closed at its open end by a plate 2! in which engage small pins 22 (Fig. 3) fixed on the end plate 3 of the hollow roll I, and which has a central aperture 23 serving as passage for th-e threaded pin 5.
TheV hollow roll I having been filled with hot water, the hollow cylinder I9 is slipped over roll I from the side at which the threaded pin 5 is, until the small pins 22 engage in the holes in the 55 end plate 2| of the hollow cylinder, whereupon the handle 'I is screwed onto the projecting part of the threaded pin 5 and the envelope I2 is slipp-ed from the opposite side over the hollow cylinder I9 and the handle 6 screwed on the part of the threaded pin 4 projecting from the end wall I3. The hollow roll I and also the cylinder I9 remain stationary during the massage as the handles 6 and 'I are gripped in the hands and the pins 22 engage in the holes of the end plate 2I of the hollow cylinder I9 so that only the envelope I2 is turned.
When the hollow rolls with electric heating device are employed, this roll need to be'lled only with cold water and to be re-llled according to requirements.
