Definitions

  • the invention relates to a massage and hydrotherapy device controlled by water circulation and in particular by water from a water distribution network.
  • Car wash brushes have already been produced controlled by a small turbine driven by the water pressure of a distribution network such as that described for example in patent FR 1,568,301. But-if such a hydromechanical control could, at a pinch, cause a circular brush sliding on the smooth and abundantly flooded surface of a sheet of car, the device described is completely incapable of producing, using only the pressure d available water from an urban distribution network, the mass training that is applied to the body.
  • the apparatus containing a set of flow channels coming from the housings incorporating the drive mechanisms of the brush and opening around it it is clear that such a device would make it impossible to use it as a massage apparatus. in hydrotherapy since any inversion of the device would cause the flow of water outside the field of action of the massage area.
  • the object of the invention is a hydromechanical massage and hydrotnotherapy device of the type comprising balls or balls each rotating at the same time around an axis which carries it and about a common Axis-driven by a secanisne, 1' Charging comprising at least one water flow directed, characterized in that the drive mechanism is an impeller action- n e e by a distribution of pressurized water of the order of 4 to 8 bars, the distributor of the impeller comprising a side wall extending tangentially to the path traveled by the ends of the blades to complete on a part of this path a portion of ring constituted by the periphery of the wheel carrying the blades, a plate and an upper wall respectively bordering the lower and upper parts of the blades, said side wall moving away from said ring portion to guide the trickle of water having driven said wheel along a path leading directly to a discharge duct directing the net out of the device and in that the axis of the turbine wheel controls, by means of a speed reducer isolated from
  • Another characteristic of the device consists in bringing together the massage balls or balls whose own axes of rotation are integral with the outlet axis of the reducer, the latter being located outside the turbine discharge jet directed out of the device, on the side where the balls rotate inside a circumference whose diameter is of the same order of magnitude as that of the turbine wheel.
  • Another characteristic consists in the conjugation of this arrangement with a rate of reduction in the speed of the output shaft of the reducer such that this axis rotates at speeds of the order of 50 to 200 revolutions per minute for speeds of the turbine wheel of the order of 600 to 1500 revolutions per minute and a diameter of around 6 to 15 cm.
  • Another characteristic of the device is to allow its use in any position, even vertical or turned over to horizontal position, as well as during any change of position by providing a second side wall bordering the periphery of the blades of the wheel. from the turbine in the area adjacent to the water evacuation duct to the distributor, this wall forming a ring part of the same section as the ring part used for driving the turbine, a screen between the discharge pipe and said second wall preventing any accidental projection of water towards the turbine.
  • the very shape of the wall of the distributor which extends to form the fraction of the ring where the entrainment takes place and then deviates from it to direct the jet towards the discharge pipe constitutes in itself a sufficient means for effectively direct the jet out of the device due to the speed acquired, avoiding any accumulation of water which could occur due to an accidental disturbance of the net in the discharge duct and the consequent creation of small projections of water between the ends of the first and second walls of the turbine.
  • This arrangement is further improved by providing, as an evacuation conduit, a relatively large conduit bordered by a large surface whose concavity transforms the jet leaving the turbine into a sheet which is used as it is, or divided, depending on the desired effects.
  • the device is formed from a plastic case made up of two half-shells 1 and 2 assembled by any means: welding, bonding, screws, the device being able to be partially dismountable or not.
  • the device comprises a handle serving as a housing for a duct 3 converging towards the distributor 5 of the turbine.
  • This distributor is characterized by its section whose dimension is much smaller than that of the inlet section 4 of the conduit 3 and which is connected by any desired means to a flexible pipe connected to the water distribution network.
  • This pipe can for example be connected to the shower outlet of a bathroom.
  • the shape of the distributor 5 is given by the connection of a first side wall 16 tangentially bordering the surface described by the end of the blades 22 of the impeller 6 of the turbine so as to deviate therefrom tangentially beyond the region 23 while remaining concave until its end 24 which in the example chosen coincides with a lateral end of an access to a conduit 18 bordered above by the concave surface 20 on the side of the apparatus opposite to the conduit 3.
  • the conduit 18 is further limited by a transverse partition 27 forming part of the lower half-shell 2 bordering a chamber 25. This chamber contains the mechanism reducing the speed of the shaft 26 of the impeller 6. It is closed in its upper part by the plate 17 and in its lower part by the lower half-shell 2.
  • a small screen protective 19 is provided beyond the end 28 of the partition 27.
  • a second side wall 29 opposite the wall 16 connected to the distributor 16 completely borders the path of the peripheral part of the blades 22 of the end 28 to dispenser 5, so that any small accidental splash of water is immediate ment taken up by the vanes 22 and reentrained with the rapid jet leaving the distributor 5.
  • the speed reducer of the shaft 26 of the turbine is composed in the illustrated example of the pinion 7 of small diameter secured to the shaft 26 passing through the plate 17, of the pinion 8 of larger diameter meshing with the pinion 7 and of the pinion of smaller diameter 9 integral with the pinion 8 meshing with the pinion of larger diameter 10.
  • the metal shaft 11 made integral with the pinion 10 directly drives the rods 13 on which the balls or balls are mounted 12. These balls can be obtained for example by assembling two half-shells, each having internally a rib 14 bearing on an elastic washer 15 at the end of the rod 13 to prevent the ball 12, after assembly, from leaving the rod 13.
  • the ball 12 is supported externally on the part 30 secured to the shaft 11.
  • the ply jet flowing from the surface 20 can be distributed in any way by dividing elements such as 21, and even guide the jet outside the passage of the balls or take advantage of the variations t i ons impacts on the skin when the jet is periodically interrupted by the passage of balls.
