Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved apparatus for performing massage operations on all parts of the body.
  • the devices described in these patent applications essentially consist of two rollers mounted on a housing along parallel axes, the periphery of the rollers tangent to the underside of the housing, one of the rollers preferably being driven positively in rotation, said casing being connected to means making it possible to create a depression above the rollers.
  • rollers are mounted on the housing so that they can be moved apart and brought closer to one another to ensure the pinching action on the fold of skin formed.
  • the invention therefore relates to a device which can be actuated manually, making it possible to carry out massages of the "feel-roll” type comprising, mounted inside a housing, two parallel rollers with smooth surface, mounted freely rotation in the housing, said housing being connected to means comprising a conduit whose end opens into the space between the rollers and which make it possible to create a vacuum in the housing and in the space between these rollers when the latter are applied against the patient's body, and is characterized in that:
  • the two active rollers are mounted at a fixed distance between two parallel lateral walls and perpendicular to the axes of the rollers, arranged perpendicular to the bottom of the housing, these two walls defining with said bottom and said rollers a chamber open to the face opposite to said bottom and of which the height is such that it corresponds substantially to the diameter of the rollers, said rollers being mounted on said side walls so that they bear against the side walls and are tangent with said bottom, and this with a slight clearance to allow their rotation while retaining the seal, their diameters being such that they protrude slightly relative to the lower edges of the side walls.
  • the massage device according to the invention is in the form of an assembly essentially consisting of a housing (or head) designated by the general reference (1) and on which the treatment rollers are mounted, this box (1) being extended by a handle (2).
  • the housing (1) and the handle (2) form a one-piece assembly and are obtained for example by molding a plastic material.
  • the handle (2) could be attached to the housing (1).
  • the rollers (3, 4) are mounted at the base of the housing (1) inside a chamber (5) formed by two side walls (6, 7), parallel, and this with a fixed center distance E, the spacing between the rollers (3, 4) being able to be adapted as a function of the areas to be treated but being generally substantially equal to the diameter of said rollers.
  • the mounting of the rollers (3, 4) inside the chamber (5) is preferably carried out so that it can be easily assembled and disassembled in order to be able to ensure the cleaning of the treatment head.
  • the detail view ( Figure 3) shows an embodiment of such a removable assembly.
  • the roller (3) (similar assembly for the roller 4) is hollow and its mounting on the two walls (6, 7) is carried out by means of axes (8, 9) which come embed in spans (10, 11) provided on the walls (6, 7), these two axes (8, 9) being subjected to the action of an internal spring (12).
  • the roller (3) (or 4) can rotate freely inside the bearings (10, 11).
  • the rollers (3, 4) are mounted inside the chamber (5) so that their periphery comes to tangent with the internal face (13) of the chamber, a slight clearance (of the order of a few hundredths of millimeters) being however provided so that the rotation of the rollers (3, 4) can be done freely. Furthermore, the two rollers (3, 4) protrude slightly, of the order of a few tenths of a millimeter, relative to the lower edges (14, 15) of the side walls (6, 7) of the chamber (5).
  • a conduit (16) opens, the end (19) of which can be connected to a suction source (not shown).
  • This conduit (16) is preferably constituted by an insert (18) attached to the inside of the handle (2) of the device.
  • this conduit (16) ends in a chamber (17), which can have a flared shape, and which extends over the entire space between the rollers.

Handbedienbare Vorrichtung zum Durchführen von "Streich-Knet"-Massagen, bei der im Innern eines Gehäuses (1) zwei parallele Walzen (3, 4) mit glatter Oberfläche angeordnet sind, die im Gehäuse frei drehbar befestigt sind, wobei das Gehäuse mit Mittel verbunden ist, die eine Leitung (16) aufweisen, deren äußeres Ende sich in den zwischen den Walzen (3, 4) vorhandenen Zwischenraum aufweitet, und die es ermöglichen, im Gehäuse und im zwischen den Walzen (3, 4) vorhandenen Zwischenraum einen Unterdruck zu erzeugen, falls die letzteren auf den Körper des Patienten aufgebracht sind, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß
― die beiden aktiven Walzen (3, 4) mit festem Achsenabstand zwischen zwei parallelen und senkrecht zur Achse der Walzen (3, 4) verlaufenden Seitenwänden (6, 7) befestigt sind, die senkrecht zu einem Boden (13) des Gehäuses verlaufen, wobei diese Wände (6, 7) mit dem Boden (13) und den Walzen (3, 4) eine, gegenüberliegend zum Boden (13) offene Kammer bilden, und wobei deren Höhe derart ist, daß sie in etwa dem Durchmesser der Walzen (3, 4) entspricht, wobei die Walzen derart an den Seitenwänden befestigt sind, daß sie gegen diese Seitenwände anliegen und tangential zu dem Boden (13) verlaufen, und wobei dies mit einem geringen Spiel erfolgt, damit deren Drehen möglich ist, wobei jedoch eine Abdichtung aufrecht erhalten bleibt, wobei deren Durchmesser derart ist, daß sie etwas über die unteren Kanten (14, 15) der Seitenwände hinausragen.
2. Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das äußere Ende der Saugleitung (16) an seiner Öffnung zur Innenseite der Kammer (5) erweitert ist.
3. Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Abstand zwischen den beiden Walzen (3, 4) etwa gleich dem Durchmesser der letzteren ist.
