Definitions

• the present invention relates to a garment for optimizing cell stimulation treatments, that is to say treatments that are intended to reshape the silhouette, smooth cellulite, improve skin tone, said treatments implementing mechanical stimulation.
• This stimulation is effected by means of devices generating a fold of skin between two rollers or cylinders parallel to one another, moved to the surface of a person's skin, motorized or not, and ensuring a massage and / or or a pinch of the skin, and generally connective tissue.
• EP 0917 452 or EP 1 286 642 have described such devices. These implement two rollers or cylinders parallel to each other, generating, in combination with a vacuum source, a fold of skin, ensuring in fact, by moving said device on the skin of the patient, the so-called “feel” action. -rouler ", still well known technique, and prior to the existence of these devices, performed manually by the practitioner.
• this type of combination hides the possible moles and other varicosities, areas of the skin that should not, as a rule, be stimulated.
• the present invention aims to overcome these various difficulties.
• This knitting can be obtained by the well-known technology known as "knit stitch", for example implemented on warp or Rachel chain, double needle, such as marketed for example by the German company KARL MAYER.
• mesh is firstly defined, the dimensions of which can be adjusted, especially in terms of openings.
• the knit defines streaks, constituted in this case by the chains, that is to say zones in relief, so that the pressure exerted by the striations against the skin under the action of mechanical devices and including rollers, exerts mechanical alveolar stimulation, promoting firming and skin appearance.
• the rollers are in contact with the skin and allow them to exert a direct mechanical action of friction and the formation of a larger and more constant skin fold during the treatment.
• the very small surface of the meshes in contact with the rollers guarantees the same advantages as the combinations of the prior art to prevent pain and facilitate the movement of the treatment head on the treated areas.
• the elasticity of this combination is, as already said ideally isotropic, but typically is characterized by an elongation of a distance of between 10 and 30 mm when the structure is subjected to a tension between 0.30 and 3 Newtons.
• the nature of the threads used in the context of this knit may be a combination of elastane and polyamide 66.
• certain parts of the combination have an increased opacity compared to the rest of the knit that constitutes it, in order to hide the intimate areas, and preserve the modesty of the user.
• This increase in opacity is obtained by inserting at least one additional yarn in weft, without however significantly affecting the elasticity properties.
• the combination thus obtained is capable of incorporating active principles, suitable for combating cellulite or constituting a moisturizing, odorant or thinning complex, etc., said active ingredients being salted out during treatment effective.
• said active ingredients are encapsulated, the microcapsules being secured to the combination, especially by dipping.
• micro-encapsules burst under the mechanical action of the rollers, thus freeing said active ingredients, and generating increased comfort or optimizing the action of said rollers.
• FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of FIG. a combination according to the invention, worn by a user
• Figure 2 is a schematic representation of the knitted structure of the invention at the "standard" areas of the combination of the invention
• Figure 3 is a similar view of Figure 2, but opaque areas.
• this combination (1) consists of a knit obtained by the technology with knit stitches, such as likely to be implemented on warp jobs or Rachel (KARL MEYER) double needle.
• a Jacquard weave is suitable for this combination.
• the son (4, 5, 6) forming part of the structure, of identical nature in chains and in frames, are advantageously constituted by a mixture of elastane and polyamide 66 (Nylon ® ), the composition of However, the base is predominantly composed of polyamide 66.
• this fiber is intended to ensure the mechanical strength.
• elastane such as for example marketed under the trademark LYCRA, which makes it possible to confer on the structure the required elasticity, which characteristic is one of the essential characteristics of the combination of the invention. .
• the threads used have a title of 84 dtx.
• Such a wire may for example be made of a Lycra ® 44 dtx fiber guiped polyamide 66 of 2 x 33 dtx (10 filaments).
• a knitted structure allows to define streaks, in this case constituted by the chains (4) of the knit, that is to say, oriented warp direction or production direction.
• These striations typically projecting from a height close to 1 mm, for example with respect to the structure, promote the mechanical stimulation action of the rollers of a head of a massage device, of the type referred to in the documents of the prior art mentioned in the preamble.
• This structure also has an ideally isotropic elasticity, allowing on the one hand, the optimal adaptability of the combination to the morphology of the patient, and therefore coroUairement the intimate veneer of the combination against the skin of the patient, while ensuring the action effective constituent rollers of the massage head directly on the skin with these mesh openwork.
• FIG. 2 shows a detailed schematic view of an example of the knitted structure of the combination of the invention at the level of the standard zones, that is to say out of the intimate zones.
• the chains (4) are thus observed in the production direction, and the weft threads (5), in this case a weft thread in the cross direction.
• the invention provides particular zones (2), which can be seen in FIG. 1, at which the weft yarn is at least doubled (5, 6), as can be seen in FIG. has figured schematically in Figure 3.
• the constitutive structure of the combination of the invention can incorporate a number of microcapsules, which may contain active principles, able to optimize the fight against cellulite, or to generate a draining and firming effect, such as collagen and or hyaluronic acid, or else comprising moisturizing, odorous or slimming active ingredients.
• microencapsulation is obtained for example by soaking the final structure obtained, and then drying flat.
• these microcapsules consist of an envelope, in particular of spherical shape, made of polymer, and incorporating the active ingredients that it is desired to diffuse on the surface of the skin.
• These microcapsules have a typical diameter of between 1 and 1000 micrometers.
• micro-capsules thus integrated into the structure, burst under the mechanical action of the rollers during the massage operation, and thus release the active ingredient or principles that they contain.
• part of the elements of the combination are sewn to the main element according to the so-called "overlock” technique, well known to the textile and sewing technician.
• this technique involves sewing and overcasting in a single operation, so that the resulting seam is peelable.
• the reduced thickness of these seams makes it possible to improve the sealing of the massage head at the level of said seams and, consequently, of the effectiveness in terms of the action of the rollers.
• the wearing of this combination favors the work of the practitioner, who no longer encounters the problems of excessive sliding or loss of tightness that he may encounter with the combinations of the prior art, and which furthermore promotes the maneuverability and tracing of the trajectory of the massage head on the body, without it being necessary to exert an excessive action against the skin of the patient.
• the upward and downward pumping of the massage head and thus coroUlement of the skin fold is also favored because of the better adherence of the rollers to the combination and coroUlarly to the skin.
• the skin fold is optimally grasped by the rollers, and coroUarily their action and thus the mechanical stimulation of the connective tissue, favoring the anti-cellulite treatment and skin-firming treatments.
