Definitions

  • the invention refers to a special mattress for a dry lymphatic draining massage, without a direct specialized operator action.
  • a lymphatic drainage is a special type of drainage practiced in areas of the body with a reduced lymphatic circulation, in order to provide the lymphatic system with a constant flowing velocity and to remove eventual stagnations; an example of such a treatment is its application for curing oedemas and cellulite.
  • a particular benefit can be derived if such a treatment is performed by applying a particular dry massage, after the subject has been subjected to a hydro-massage.
  • Shiatsu is known to be a treatment of Japanese origin practiced by Samurais, based on the pressure exercised by the masseur on certain points of the body, while using his thumbs, fingers, hands etc. so as to produce articulation motions, stimulate the body's central energetic channels, cause the removal of excess lymph from the tissues, absorb fatty acids and generate immunitary cells and antibodies.
  • Devices for performing dry massages other than the Shiatsu massage are for example known from the patents DE 3212319 , EP 0880958 , CA 1317417 , EP 4926510 , and DE 3943435 .
  • the main purpose of the present invention is to provide means for automatically performing a dry massage similar to Shiatsu, by using a special mattress fitted with devices allowing concentrated pressures to be applied to the body under massage, so as to treat a specific area as it would be treated by a specialized masseur.
  • a massage in other words, made so as to automatically apply pressures orthogonal to the body and other treatments such as rubbing, pattering, pinching, shaking, vibrating, kneading performed in Shiatsu practice.
  • Another complementary aim of the invention is to allow the working of the mattress with the same hydraulic circuits producing a hydro-massage of airpool or whirlpool type, i.e. based on devices capable of combining both the rigid and elastic pressures applied by a hydro-massage.
  • Another aim of the invention is to provide means for the simultaneous application, at different moments, of multiple pressures of various types vertically to the body, that can be programmed so as to provide a combination of various Shiatsu treatments, depending on the needs of the subject to be treated, both after hydro-massaging as well as independently from the same.
  • the mattress M has an elliptical form and is constituted of the reciprocal assembly of a laminar body 1 made of an elastomeric material and of a plate-like body 7 made of a rigid material, for instance of a thermally hardening type, which acts as a support of the body 1 it is connected to.
  • the laminar body 1 made of an elastomeric material and the relative rigid plate-like support 7 are firmly connected to each other in a waterproof manner, thanks to the reciprocal superposition of the respective peripheral rims 5 and 20, as illustrated in the Figures 1 and 5 .
  • the laminar body made of an elastomeric material 1 is fitted with holes of a preferably circular shape, closed by elastic membranes 6 having the aim to transmit the pressure impulses that the relative underlying chamber 2 is subjected to, whenever it is fed from the bottom with an air/water jet, whose aim is to generate the alternating digital pressure impulses typical of a Shiatsu massage.
  • Figure 4b illustrates the pulsating operating position of the elastic membrane 6 of the laminar body made of an elastomeric material 1, when it is subjected to the air/water jet originating from below, while Figure 4a illustrates the intermediate phase in which the elastic membrane 6 returns in the resting position.
  • the frequency of the digital pressure impulses can be pre-set, depending on the requirements.
  • the chamber 2 of the laminar body made of elastomeric material 1 are reciprocally joined, as shown in Figure 3 , through the half-channels 3.1 to a transversal manifold 4.1 which discharges the circulating fluid during the resting phases of the elastic membranes 6, for instance into the hydro-massaging tub.
  • the jet causing the digital pressure impulses on the elastic membranes 6 is realized by using a Venturi-type jet-nozzle, as shown in the Figures 6 and 8 : the water flowing in the tube 18, simultaneously sucks up, because of the Venturi effect, the air flowing in the tube 19 sucked from the air intake 17, so as to mix it and inject it under pressure into the chamber 2 of the laminar body 1 through the nozzle 8.
  • FIGS. 7 and 9 respectively illustrate a cross-section of the mattress according to the invention, in a pre-assembly phase and in a ground view of the upper surface of the rigid plate-like support.
  • the Figure 10 illustrates the circuits of a hydro-massaging unit, as applied to the mattress according to the invention to allow its working.
  • the air sucked up through the tube 10 of the air intake 17 mixes, because of the Venturi effect, with the water coming from the filter 16 and is injected, due to the pressure exercised by the pump 14 through a dynamic jet sequencer 12, in the tubes 18 and subsequently to the nozzles 8.
  • the dynamic jet sequencer 12 controls the application of the digital massaging pressures according to a pre-set program, so as to provide a sequence of treatments variable in their application periods, pressure intensity effects and in the composition of the pressuring effects themselves.
  • the Figure 11 illustrates a few embodiments of the massaging membranes 6 in different shapes and sizes, based on the type of massage intended and the area involved in the massage.
  • Figure 11a illustrates a membrane 6a wherein the application of the air/water jet causes a deformation of two elastic sheets 6a1, and consequently a deformation distributed over a rigid sheet 6a2, which thereby simulates a massaging pressure similar to that of the palm of a hand.
  • the Figure 11b illustrates a membrane 6b destined to perform a pinching action; the membrane 6b is formed by two rigid portions 6b2 that are reciprocally hinged at a hinge 6b4 and connected to rods 6b3, that allow them to rotate and superimpose themselves in a book-like form, and two adjacent elastic portions 6b1.
  • FIGS. 11c and 11d are other embodiments of the massaging membranes that simulate a digital pressure on a smaller area.
  • the Figure 12 illustrates an application of the mattress according to the invention for a cervical-dorsal Shiatsu treatment in a hydro-massaging tub; as can be seen, the tub is fitted with a seat to facilitate the posture of the subject to be treated.
  • the chambers 2 are fitted with overpressure valves 21, which discharge the hydraulic and/or pneumatic overpressure flow into the transversal manifold 4.
