Definitions

  • the invention relates to a massage device with a rotating brush unit, which can be raised and lowered on a vertical guide column with the aid of a pressure-operated cylinder / piston unit and which can be set in rotation on a drive rail, the piston of the cylinder being released from the pressure medium by a control valve is alternately acted upon.
  • Such a massage device in which a rotating roller or brush is arranged on a guide column designed as a square tube, the axis of which runs perpendicular to the guide column.
  • the brush or roller is provided with a separate drive motor and is moved up and down by the cylinder / piston unit, the pressure-operated cylinder being connected to the water pipe.
  • the cylinder can be acted on twice using a control valve.
  • the main disadvantage of this known device is that only one brush is arranged, which must be provided with an additional drive motor.
  • Another major disadvantage is that additional special fastening and mounting devices must be provided for the cylinder / piston unit. By arranging a single horizontal brush, a special massage effect cannot be achieved.
  • the invention If the object of providing a massage device before strike, in which at achieving improved Mas - a robust drive of the brushes is guaranteed.
  • piston arranged on a piston rod is fastened to a crossbar which is connected to the housing by means of connecting rods.
  • An advantageous embodiment consists in that the piston is connected to the housing with the aid of a pulling cable which is guided over an upper and lower cable pulley, guide bands being arranged on both sides of the housing.
  • stops for reversing the valve are provided on the crossbar and the housing.
  • slots for the passage of the brushes are provided in a housing cover in accordance with the displacement path and the brush bodies are arranged in protective housings which have an extension guided in the slot.
  • the guide column is arranged on a wall bracket so that it can be adjusted in height.
  • a further advantageous embodiment consists in that a holder disk is attached to the brush drive shaft, onto which the brush body can be attached, the holder disk having a number of bores into which sleeves made of elastic material are inserted and that insertable into the sleeves on the back of the brush body Nipples are attached.
  • the brush body has an annular bead which is inserted over the edge of the bracket disc.
  • the mounting disk has a shaft hub, a corresponding recess being provided in the brush body.
  • rods arranged in a hedgehog shape are attached to the brush body.
  • the invention has the essential advantage that there is an automatically working, particularly stable and simple constructional massage device, whereby a particularly good massage effect is achieved by the two oppositely working brushes.
  • the special design advantage also results from the fact that the piston / cylinder unit is centered by the brush unit itself in connection with the guide column. It is also essential that the rotating brushes meet certain requirements, since special forces and movements act on the brushes. The most varied designs required for such massage devices can be easily exchanged, and a stable holder is also guaranteed for operation.
  • a white Another advantage of the arrangement of these brushes is that the manufacture can be achieved with simple shapes and means. The exchange takes place by simply pulling off the brush body and plugging in a new brush body, with no screwing work being necessary.
  • the massager shown in Figures 1 to 3 has a vertically arranged guide column 1, preferably made of a square tube, this column l is suspended above and below with the help of clamping jaws 2 on a holder 3 which is attached to the wall.
  • a guide column 1 To the side of the guide column 1 there are toothed racks 4, into which pinions 5 engage, on whose shafts 6 brushes 7 are arranged.
  • the piston rod 9 of the cylinder / piston unit 10 with the piston lU ' has a crossbar 11 at its upper end, 11 connecting rods 12 being arranged on this crossbar and being fastened to the housing halves 8 at their opposite end. Furthermore, a mounting plate 13 is arranged both on the top and bottom of the guide column. There are also connection plates 14 for the pressure medium, a control valve 15 is attached to the upper plate 13, on which various connecting lines 16 are attached. Furthermore, the valve 15 is provided with switching pins 17 which cooperate with stops 18, a stop 18 being fastened to the housing 8 and a further stop 18 to the crossbar 11.
  • the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals as in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • the drive takes place of the housing 8 via a pull rope 24 which is attached to the piston 10 '.
  • the traction cable 24 is guided via an upper pulley 25 to the housing 8 and on the other hand via a lower pulley 26 to the housing 8.
  • the racks 4 attached to the front edge serve to guide the housing 8, with the fastening of the traction cable ends on the housing 8 in front of the racks 4.
  • the traction cable ends are attached to the piston 10 'on a holding nipple 30 with an inserted screw connection 31, a trailing spring 32 being arranged between the holding nipple 30 and the screw connection 31.
  • Seals 33 are provided for sealing the cable on the piston itself. Further seals 34 for the cable 24 when they are brought out of the cylinder 10 are provided on the upper and lower fastening plate 13.
  • the brush 7 runs in a protective housing 19, only the bristles of the brush 7 protruding, an attachment 20 being attached to the rear of this cover, which is in a housing cover 21 or a slot provided therein is guided.
  • This protective housing can be designed as a type of shower, so that in addition to the actual massage effect by the brushes 7, a showering can also be carried out, wherein this protective housing 19 can be connected to the waste water line of the cylinder / piston unit 10, so that the water discharged thereby can be used sensibly.
  • a further possibility is provided for fastening the device to the wall, a particularly tight attachment being thereby ensured by attaching a U-shaped holder 22 to the wall, which is provided with hooks 23 reaching inwards, which engages in the holder 2.
  • the inlet to the cylinder / piston unit 10 As soon as the inlet to the cylinder / piston unit 10 is open for the pressure medium, it flows in from one side and moves the brush unit into one end position, the pressure medium flowing in from the other side by switching over at the valve 15 and the brush unit becoming itself moved in the opposite direction, the brushes 7 rotating against each other.
  • the holding disk 35 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 is attached with its centrally arranged hub 36 to a drive shaft 6. So that the disc 35 can be held against rotation on the shaft 6 is, for example as a transverse groove 37 which engages like a corresponding pin on the shaft 6. Furthermore, there are a number of bores 38 in the disk 35, which are narrowed in the middle, so that appropriately designed spouts 39, which are provided with grooves 40, are held. These grommets 39 are made of an elastic material, openings 41 being incorporated.
  • Fig. 12 the brush body 7 is shown, which is adapted to the mounting plate 35, wherein a recess 42 is provided for receiving the hub 36. With the back 43 of this brush body 7 is then plugged onto the mounting plate 35, 39 nipples 44 being attached to the back of the brush body 7 according to the arrangement of the spouts, which can be inserted into the openings 41. Furthermore, the brush body 7 with its annular outer bead 45 is placed over the edge 46 of the mounting disk 35. The diameter of the nipples 44 is somewhat larger than the corresponding bores 41 in the spouts 39, so that a good mounting is ensured.
  • FIG. 13 and 14 show the embodiment of a special massage brush, with bristles 47 arranged in an annular manner on the outside and rods 48 which are directed obliquely outwards and have thickenings 49 at their ends.
