Definitions

  • the invention relates to a massage device with a housing, at least one axially movable massage body projecting on the working surface of the housing and having the massage effect, a water connection and a drive device for the massage body having a water turbine.
  • the turbine is provided with an eccentric which is surrounded by a fork which is connected radially to the shaft of the rotor brush, so that the rotational movement of the turbine is converted into a reciprocating periodic pivoting movement.
  • the massage brush only makes a slight movement.
  • This pivoting movement can be overlaid with axial movements of the brush, which are generated by mutually cooperating projections, which are provided on the back of the rotor brush and on the outside of the housing facing the rotor brush.
  • the known massage devices can only be used to a limited extent and alternatively as normal showers, which is due to the fact that the work surface occupied by the rotor brush is not available for the generation of shower jets and a switchover process is required in each case to form shower jets.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a water-drivable massage device with a good mechanical massage effect, which is easy to handle, has a simple structure and is also suitable as a hand shower.
  • the invention is characterized in that a large number of massage bodies are provided, which are individually held in the housing so that they cannot fall out with axial play, and the water turbine on its side facing the massage bodies has at least one eccentric projection for generating the axial movement.
  • the massage bodies in the massage device according to the invention are essentially exclusively moved or driven axially.
  • the massage movement thus consists of a vibrating or vibrating movement of the massage body in the direction of the body part to be massaged. Therefore, the massage bodies are not designed as brushes usually but preferably have a closed, in particular - sondere rounded surface. Since the massage movement is not in a rubbing but in a pressing manner, there are no friction losses, so that the driving force of the turbine can be fully used for the massage movement.
  • the turbine is preferably designed as a Pelton turbine.
  • the protrusion or the protrusions on the turbine can interact directly with the massage bodies to produce the axial movement, in particular when the protrusions run in the form of radial waves or ribs.
  • a plate serving to transfer and in particular to translate the axial movement generated by the eccentric projection is arranged, the surface area of which is essentially limited is the area covered by the massage bodies. This makes it possible to keep the eccentricity of the projection on the turbine side relatively small, although the full working surface occupied by the massage bodies can still be grasped by the transfer plate.
  • the axial movement of the individual massage bodies arranged around the turbine axis is out of phase, which means that during the massage process, only individual balls are pressed in rapid succession in the direction of the body to be massaged, so that the respectively moved ones Masses are low, which in turn allows increased use of the driving force.
  • the axial movement of the massage bodies further away from the turbine axis is preferably kept larger than that of the closer massage bodies. This makes it possible to vary the massage effect by selectively attaching the more central massage body or more of the massage body lying outside.
  • the axial play of the massage bodies is dimensioned such that they come into engagement with the drive only when they are disengaged from their end position remote from the turbine in the direction of the turbine. This means that the turbine or the drive runs essentially idle when the massage body is in its end position.
  • the massage bodies are lifted from their end position and are gripped by the drive.
  • the stroke of the axial movement of the massage body is greater the stronger they are lifted from their end position when pressed on the part of the body to be massaged.
  • the stroke of the axial movement exerted by the massage bodies is expediently in the range from 2 to 10, preferably 4 to 7 mm.
  • the massage bodies are preferably designed at the same time as valve bodies which, in their end position remote from the turbine, close the openings in the housing assigned to them essentially tightly. This can achieve that the water consumption by closing the openings serving as water outlet openings is then greatly reduced when the massager is lifted from the body to be massaged and the massage body is brought into its end position by the water pressure.
  • the massage device has additional openings in the area of the work surface, which are preferably designed as beam guides for shower jets and can be provided at least in part in the area of the openings for the massage bodies. These additional openings on the one hand achieve pressure relief in the interior of the massage device and enable the massage body to be lifted out of its end position more easily.
  • the transfer plate is preferably rotatable in the housing and has a smooth surface on its side facing the massage bodies. Due to the rotatability of the transmission plate, the friction during the conversion of the rotary movement of the turbine into the axial movement of the massage body can be kept to a minimum, which are usually fixed in the housing, if one disregards the axial play. The friction can be reduced even further in that the massage bodies are designed and mounted in such a way that they can rotate about themselves, in particular about radial axes perpendicular to the turbine axis. This is particularly the case when the massage bodies are cylindrical and preferably spherical.
  • the projection on the water turbine facing the massage bodies can be designed as an oblique surface to the plane of rotation of the turbine. This surface preferably drops from its highest point in the direction of the turbine axis and can also be designed as an oblique ring coaxial with the turbine axis.
  • the transfer plate can also have at least one eccentrically arranged cam that points towards the water turbine and can be moved on the inclined plane along a circular path, which is advantageous if the transfer plate can be rotated.
  • the transfer plate Due to the double eccentricity of the mutually cooperating projections on the transfer plate and the turbine, the transfer plate, in particular if it lies freely in the housing, can perform a wobble movement which is dependent on the contact pressure of the massage device, as a result of which the axial movement of the individual massage bodies and the respective phase of the axial movement of the respective rotational position of the turbine wheel is largely independent.
  • there is a direct dependency if, as is the case in another embodiment, only the turbine has an eccentric projection and the side of the plate facing the turbine is flat, in particular flat.
  • the drive of the massage body according to the invention is particularly advantageously free of positive transfer means, as is the case with the embodiments described above.
  • these transfer means disengage when the massage bodies are in their end position remote from the turbine, then the pressure loss in the massager during its operation as a shower is extremely low because the turbine runs idle, so that the spray pattern of the shower is not affected.
  • the housing of the massage device is expediently essentially cylindrical, the diameter of the working surface occupied by the massage bodies preferably corresponding essentially to the diameter of the turbine.
  • the water connection can open radially and / or axially into the housing.
  • the housing is provided on its side facing away from the work surface with a handle which can be rotatably connected to the housing. It is also possible to provide a rotatable cover on the side of the housing facing away from the work surface, with which a handle is firmly connected.
  • the handle is expediently designed as a bow handle, the width and height of the bow being designed in such a way that a flat hand can be inserted between the bow and the lid for gripping the housing. The rotatability of the handle relative to the housing largely prevents the massager from being moved by the water supply hose.
  • a massage device has a substantially flat cylindrical housing 1, which has a working surface 2 on one side and a lid-shaped handle housing 3 on the opposite side.
  • the handle housing is rotatably connected to the device housing 1 with the aid of a snap ring and has a flat bow handle 4 which is also designed for inserting a flat hand.
  • the part of the device housing 1, with which the handle housing 3 is connected, is shaped as a hood-shaped turbine housing 5, which is closed on the handle side, and is provided with a radial water inlet connection 6 with a conventional thread.
  • a Pelton turbine 7, which is open to the handle side and closed towards the work surface 2, is floatingly supported in the turbine housing 5 and is supported with its outer edge 8 facing the work surface 2 on three bearing surfaces 9 (only one shown) of an inlet body 10 inserted into the turbine housing 5.
  • annular channel 11 which communicates with the inlet nozzle 6 and from which three bores 11 lead to the supply of the turbine blade 12.
  • the turbine 7 and the working surface 2 are located in the space 14 of the housing 1.
  • An eccentric projection 15 of the turbine 7 protrudes into this space, which is designed as an axially central cylindrical stub with a beveled end face.
  • the eccentricity of this projection 15 is approximately one fifth to one sixth of the turbine radius, and the skewness of the surface, which essentially corresponds to the height of the projection 15, is approximately one tenth of the turbine radius.
  • the working surface 2 of the massage device is formed by a base plate 16.
  • This has 10 openings 17 with tubular guides 18 for balls 19 provided as massage bodies, which sit in the guides 18 with axial play.
  • the edges 20 of the openings 17 are somewhat protruding on the working surface 2 and somewhat narrowed compared to the diameter of the guides 18, so that the balls 19 cannot fall out of the guides 18 from their end position, but essentially close the openings 17.
  • the base plate 16 On the inside of the base plate 16 there is an axially freely movable transfer plate 21 with a flat underside, which overlaps all balls 19 or ball guides 18 and has water passage openings 22.
  • the transfer plate 21 On its inside 23 facing the turbine 7, the transfer plate 21 has an eccentric projection 24, the eccentricity of which essentially corresponds to that of the bevelled cylinder stump 15 and in the end face of which a steel ball 25 is rotatably mounted for reducing friction.
  • the height of the projection 24 corresponds approximately to the height of the bevel of the cylinder stump 15 of the turbine 7.
  • the clear axial height of the space 14, ie the distance between Turbine 7 and transmission plate 21 is held in such a way that the two projections 15 and 24 do not come into engagement with one another when the transmission plate 21 lies on the guides 18.
  • the balls 19 are lifted only slightly from their rest position or end position and pushed back by the turbine 7 over the inclined surface of the projection 15 and the transfer plate 21.
  • the turbine 7 is braked little and there is a high pulsation frequency for each individual ball.
  • the turbine 7 With a higher contact pressure there is a larger stroke movement, the turbine 7 becomes slower due to the higher resistance, and an intensive massage with a lower pulsation frequency but a clear kneading effect is achieved.
  • Due to the small slope of the inclined surface of the projection 15 and the small radius of friction of the circular path of the steel ball 25 on the inclined The transmission losses are kept very low.
  • the transfer plate 21 with its floating bearing ensures that it is not possible to block the turbine 7 by excessive pressure on one side. Due to the free adjustability of the transfer plate 21 in the space 14, the massage effect is transmitted approximately uniformly to all massage balls.
  • the water flowing into the room 14 flows through the water outlet openings 22 into the ball guides 18, which can be provided on their inner sides with beam guiding grooves 26 interacting with the balls 19, past the balls, through the openings 17 in the base plate 16
  • Bottom plate 16 still jet-forming bores 27 through which the water emerges as a shower jet, particularly when the openings 17 are closed by the balls.
  • the turbine rotates empty and produces practically no pressure loss, so that the shower jets can escape in the usual way.
  • the slight curvature of the base plate 16 of the massage device also makes handling the device easier.
