Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a massage device using an incompressible liquid; as actuating power especially for domestic use.
  • Known devices of this type are generally electrical devices, the use of which may be prohibited because of the dangers inherent in the electrical installation.
  • Modulated water massagers are also known. These all involve for the user a bathing suit and use in a bathtub or a suitable room. In addition, in both cases, the amplitude of vibrations provided by these devices is relatively small.
  • the membrane From a certain pressure in the cavity 4, the membrane takes off from the nozzle by a fluttering phenomenon and a leak occurs between the outer edge of the nozzle 2 and the membrane 1.
  • the friction of the water of leak in circulation excites the vibration of the central disc 11 of the membrane 1 which covers the nozzle 2.
  • the nozzle-nozzle assembly constitutes by its dimensions a resonant system fixing the vibration frequency of the device; the nozzle also allows maintenance of the oscillation of the membrane when the mechanical load varies on the membrane during use.
  • the membrane 1 constitutes the member for applying vibrations to the material to be agitated or to be massaged, while defining the front end wall of the apparatus.
  • the device is therefore in the form of an applicator with a body part used for its manipulation, the end formed by the membrane being intended to be applied to the areas of the body to be massaged, allowing a localized and effective application.
  • the buffer chamber 8 serves, on the one hand, as a fluid reservoir regulating the back pressure downstream of the nozzle, and, on the other hand, to collect the water which escapes from the nozzle 7 for the evacuate to the outside of the device, through tube 9.
  • FIG. 2 shows a practical embodiment of a massage device according to the invention.
  • the general design is completely identical to that of the embodiment of FIG. 1, except that it will be noted that the supply pipe 6 is provided with a quick connection device 12 to a flexible pipe 13 of a domestic distribution installation, for example a shower hose, It is the same for the drain tube 9 which is extended by a flexible drain pipe 14 which allows water to be discharged into a bathtub or sink.
  • an annular spacer element 15 is first screwed into the cover 3 between the body 5 and the periphery to be clamped of the membrane. pinch the periphery of the membrane, the cover-spacer-membrane assembly being screwed onto the periphery of the body 5 to ensure the required tensioning of the membrane, a seal being advantageously provided for sealing.
  • the membrane 1 can advantageously be made of synthetic or natural rubber with a thickness between 1 and 2.5 mm, typically 2 mm and is stretched for mounting with a force of 3 to 10 kg on the nozzle 2, which has a section diverging towards the outside at an angle of 34 °, with an outside passage diameter of 21.7 mm and an inside passage diameter of 12 mm. Under these conditions, the nozzle 7 is cylindrical and has an internal diameter of 12 mm and a length of 67 mm. This arrangement makes it possible to generate vibrations with a fundamental frequency between 50 and 100 Hertz and a high level peak for the harmonic 9. The peak-to-peak amplitude of the vibration of the membrane can reach 2 mm.
  • the device can also be used as a vibrating element to promote mixtures or dissolutions of products for which the electric current would also constitute a danger.
  • the device is particularly suitable for the application of very gentle massages, for example for facial treatments, with an amplitude of oscillations of a few tenths of a millimeter, as well as for the application very energetic massages at maximum power, by fully opening the supply tap of the domestic water installation.
  • the device can be used in all massage cases. It is also possible to massage in or under water, for example while taking a bath, without the slightest risk of electrocution.
  • due to the absence of water projection it is also possible to perform massages while remaining fully clothed; in this case, the large amplitude of the vibration emitted allows the passage of energy through the clothing.
  • the importance of the amplitude of the low frequency vibrations it generates, and the possibility of massage using hot water make it a particularly effective device in weight loss assistance treatments, especially for treatment cellulite.
