3 Claims. (Cl. 12866) This invention relates generally to a therapeutic device, and more particularly to a breast developer using hydrotherapy.
The primary object of this invention is to provide a breast developer which will stimulate the circulation in the female breasts in order to aid in the development of under-developed breasts, to restore and maintain muscle tone and to aid in the reducing of overly developed breasts when the size is caused by excessive fatty tissue.
Another object of this invention is to provide a device which will aid in reshaping and the attaining of a new breast contour by increasing the muscle tone.
A further object of this invention is to provide a table whereby a woman may lie on this table and receive the benefit of the hydro-therapy, because her breasts will extend into a basin unit provided for the purpose.
Still a further object of this invention is to provide a breast developer using the principle of hydro-therapy, wherein new type of nozzles are used so that the flow of water may be directed either into a whirlpool type of motion, or directly against a localized area of the breast.
Yet a further object of this invention is to provide an adjustable table, which may vary the angle of tilt, so that a woman when lying on the table will have the blood rushed to the upper portion of body by the action of gravity, and thus provide a greater circulation of blood in the breast area.
An even further object of the invention is to produce a simple and inexpensive device and yet one which will be exceedingly effective for the purpose for which it is designed.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the device, illustrating the position of a Woman in the use of this device;
Figure 2 is an end elevational view of the device illustrated in Figure 1, illustrating details of the device for tilting the table;
Figure 3 is an elevational plan view of a first embodiment of the invention wherein the bowls are completely independent;
Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view taken substantially along the plane defined by reference line 4-4 of Figure 3, illustrating the details of construction thereof;
Figure 5 is an elevational plan view of a second embodiment of the basin unit illustrating a two bowl construction, wherein the bowls are in communication with each other;
Figure 6 is a vertical sectional view taken substantially along the plane defined by reference line 66 of Figure 5;
Figure 7 is an elevational plan view of a third form of basin unit having a single elliptical bowl;
Patented Nov. 10, 1959 Figure 8 is a vertical sectional view taken substantially along the plane defined by reference line 88 of Figure 7;
Figure 9 is a vertical sectional view taken substantially along the plane defined by reference line 99 of Figure 2.
Referring now more specifically to the drawings, the numeral 10 generally designates the table to be used in conjunction with the present invention, which has a basin unit 12 mounted thereon, and has a mechanism 14 for controlling the angle of tilt of table 10. p
The table 10 is constructed of a top 16, and sides 18, as well as ends 20. At one end of table 10 are affixed stationary legs 22, and at the upper end movable legs 24 are connected.
The upper end of each leg 24 has a horizontal opening 26 formed therein which is in alignment with an opening 28 formed in table end 20. A bolt 30 is passed through the aligned openings, and a washer 32 engaged concentrically thereabout the same, and a nut 34 serves to hold the assembly together. At the lower end of each leg 24 is a wheel 36 disposed so as to allow pivotal movement of leg 24 about bolt 39 in a direction normal to the longitudinal axis of the table.
A mechanism is used to move the legs 24 toward and away from each other so as to vary the angle or tilt of table 10. This mechanism is constructed of the bearing 38 which is afiixed to table end 29. A shaft 49 is journaled in bearing 38, and held in position by means of collars 42 which are fixed thereon. An offset radial arm 44 is connected to the lower end of shaft 40, and a crank handle 46 depends downwardly from the free edge thereof, and is rotatably connected thereto. Another lateral arm 48 is connected to the lower end of handle 46, and the free end of this arm is connected to a threaded shaft 50 which has a sleeve 52 threadedly accommodated thereon. A stop 54 limits the downward movement of sleeve 52 on shaft 59. Outstanding flanges 56 are connected to sleeve 52, and links 58 are pivotally connected thereto. Other flanges 60 project outwardly from the lower ends of legs 24, and the free ends of links 58 are pivotally connected thereto. Thus, it may be seen that by turning shaft 50 by means of crank handle 46, the sleeve 52 may be moved vertically along the shaft, and when the sleeve moves upwardly, the legs 24 will be moved together thus resulting in a raising of that end of the table, and when the sleeve 52 is moved downwardly the legs will correspondingly move apart and thus lower the end of the table.
In Figures 3 through 8 inclusive, it may be seen that three forms of basin units 12 may be used in conjunction with the present invention. Near the lower end of table 19, a substantially rectangular opening 62 is formed in table top 16. A plate 64 is connected to the undersurface of table top 16, and extends about the perimeter of opening 62. This plate 64 has a dropped portion which accommodates the edges of a substantially rectangular panel 66 which has the breast accommodating bowls formed therein.
Looking now more particularly at Figures 3 and 4, one form of the invention is illustrated wherein two separate and independent bowls 68 are formed in panel 66 and these panel bowls 63 are separated by an interposing portion 71. Each of the bowls 63 has an opening 79 which communicates the bowl with the upper surface of table top 16. A pair of protecting members 72, 73 of the same shape as mouth 79 are connected about the upper outer periphery of mouth 79. These elements 72 are actually resilient guards which will give protection to a person lying on the table. A nozzle 74 having a ball base 76 which is mounted in the socket 78, is swivelly connected thereby so that a stream of water may be forced in any direction by merely directing the nozzle 74. A fitting 80 passes through bowl 68, and holds socket 78 firmly secured thereto. Inlet hoses 82 are connected to fittings 80, and these hoses 82 are fed from a mixer valve wherein hot and cold water may be mixed concurrently, or used consecutively, depending on the treatment desired. Slots 84 are formed near the upper portion of bowl 68, and the slots 84 communicate with a cup-like member 86, which is in turn connected to a fitting 88, to which hoses 90 are connected. These hoses 90 ultimately lead to the drain.
Looking now more particularly to Figures 5 and 6, it may be seen that another form of the invention having bowls 92 formed in panels 66 is illustrated. In this form, however, the bowls are in communication with each other by means of passage 94. Therefore, the outer edge of the mouth 70 of this modification, is of a generally 8-shaped outline as can be seen in Figure 5. The guard member 72' will also be of this same outline.
Illustrated in Figures 7 and 8, is a still third form of the invention, wherein a single longitudinal bowl 96 is illustrated, and this bowl has a mouth 70 which is generally elliptical, and therefore an elliptical guard member 72 is used in connection therewith.
In use, a user would lie on the table with the breasts depending downwardly into the bowls. Then, the nozzles 74 may then be directed either into a whirlpool type of action illustrated in the left hand side of Figure 3, or in a direct application spray position illustrated in the right hand side of Figure 3. Since these nozzles 74 are connected by a ball and socket they may be rotated to any position. Furthermore, depending on the type of treatment desired, eithe: hot water alone may be used, cold water alone or a mixture of the two in order to give lukewarm water. This hydro-therapy treatment will have the effect of getting a greater blood circulation to the breasts, as well as massaging the breast itself.
The tilting of the table is also important, in that as the table is tilted the blood in the body will rush to the upper portion of the body, and the breasts will thus receive a greater supply of blood.
It may now be seen that I have herein shown and described a new and improved type of breast developer.
The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the 45 principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed as new is as follows:
1. A breast developer comprising a tiltable table, a
basin unit mounted on said table and communicating with the upper surface thereof, said table having a pair of stationary legs at one end, and a pair of movable legs at the other end, means pivoting said movable legs to said table, and means for varying the distance between the lower ends of said legs whereby the tilt of said table may be varied, and means for injecting water under pressure into said basin unit.
2. A breast developer comprising a tiltable table, a basin unit mounted on said table and communicating with the upper surface thereof, said table having a pair of stationary legs at one end, and a pair of movable legs at the other end, means pivoting said movable legs to said table, and means for varying the distance between the lower ends of said legs whereby the tilt of said table may be varied, said basin unit being positioned near the lower end of said table, and means for injecting water under pressure into said basin.
