Description

The invention belongs to medical equipment, to massage devices, in particular to roller massagers, and can be used as a means for reflexotherapeutic effects on the human body for therapeutic and preventive purposes.

Well-known roller massagers, as a rule, include an elastic base, which is made in the form of a body of rotation of a given configuration, preferably in the form of a cylinder, and fixed on the appropriate armature of the massager with the possibility of rotation around the longitudinal axis of the body of rotation. In the elastic base are fixed elements of reflex action, in particular, metal needles, the tips of which protrude beyond the boundaries of the elastic base, forming the working side of the massager (for example, pr: 0 peru/agdopodt.gy/maiik-ipimegzaIpuu"igaskipd-5Zae8boО5бссО0). Roller massagers, unlike from static applicators, exert a dynamic effect (the so-called "needle shower") due to multiple short-term actions of needles on the user's body.

Common features of well-known roller massagers and the proposed solution are: a massager that includes an elastic base, which is made in the form of a three-dimensional body of rotation of a given spatial configuration, and means of reflex influence fixed in the elastic base.

In well-known massagers, the reflex effect factor is only the mechanical action of the means of reflex effect (spikes, needles, etc.), which limits the effectiveness of the massagers.

The Lyapka applicator (massager), which is known by the Ukrainian patent for the invention No. 54480, IPC Ab61Н 39/08, АЕ1ТН 11/00, date of application submission 07/15/1999, was chosen as the closest analogue.

The massager includes an elastic base, which can be made in the form of a hollow cylindrical roller, continuous in the circumferential direction or rolled into a cylindrical shape from a plate, the edges of which are connected to each other at the joint. Needles are fixed in the elastic base, the tips of which protrude beyond the elastic base, forming the working side of the massager.

The roller is fixed on at least one rod, which is installed with the possibility of rotation on the axis or fixed on the shaft.

Needles can be installed on the roller in at least two annular bands with gaps between them. Such a massager provides the possibility of action of needles on selected reflex zones, excluding their action on other zones (for example, the possibility of action of needles on both sides of the spinal column).

Z The elastic base can be made in the form of at least two hollow cylindrical rollers, which are fixed with gaps between them on bushings, installed on an axis with the possibility of rotation or fixed on a shaft. Such a massager also provides the possibility of needles acting on selected reflex zones, excluding their action on other zones.

The base can be made in the form of a one-piece roller, fixed on a shaft and installed with the possibility of rotation on an axis, which simplifies its design and manufacturing technology by eliminating the need for dowels, but reduces the elasticity of the base.

The base can be made in the form of at least two integral rollers, fixed on the shaft or installed with the possibility of rotation on an axis with gaps between them.

Needles, as means of reflex action, are made in the form of pointed rods with thickenings at the opposite tip end, as means of fixing the needles in the base.

Common features of the prototype and the proposed solution are a massager that includes an elastic base, which is made in the form of a three-dimensional body of rotation, and means of reflex action, made in the form of needles, which are fixed in the elastic base.

In the prototype, as well as in the mentioned well-known massagers, the factor of reflex effect is only the mechanical action of the tips of the needles (dynamic effect due to multiple short-term actions of the needles on the user's body), which limits the effectiveness of the massager.

The basis of the invention is the task of expanding the factors of the reflex effect on the user's body, which increases the effectiveness of the massager.

The problem is solved by the fact that in the massager, which includes an elastic base, which is made in the form of a three-dimensional body of rotation, and means of reflex influence, which are made in the form of needles, which are fixed in the elastic base, according to the invention, the needles are made in the form of P - similar staples with different electrochemical potentials, the ends of which protrude beyond the elastic base, and the crossbars of the staples are placed in the elastic base and made with bends that form at least one loop, the top of which protrudes beyond the elastic base.

The specified features are essential features of the invention, as they are necessary and sufficient to achieve the technical result - the expansion of the factors of the reflex effect on the user's body.

The execution of the needles in the form of U-shaped clamps with different electrochemical potentials, the ends 60 of which protrude beyond the elastic base, and the crossbar is made with bends forming at least one loop, the top of which protrudes beyond the elastic base, provides an additional factor of reflex influence - "m "what" mechanical impact on the user's body by the rounded tops of the loops in addition to the "hard" mechanical impact on the user's body by the protruding ends of the U-shaped brackets.

The crossbar of the U-shaped bracket can be made with one loop, the top of which protrudes beyond the elastic base on the working side of the base by an amount that is equal to or less than the amount of protrusion of the ends of the U-shaped bracket. These loops can be used as elements of reflexive "soft" impact or as limiting protrusions that prevent the possibility of mechanical damage to the user's skin by the protruding ends of the U-shaped staples.

The crossbar of the U-shaped needle can be made with one loop, the top of which protrudes beyond the elastic base on the side opposite the working side of the base. Loops can be used to electrically connect selected groups of needles to sources of electrical signals

The crossbar of the U-shaped needle can be made with two loops, the tops of which protrude beyond the elastic base on opposite sides of the base. With this design, loops protruding on opposite sides of the base form two working sides of the applicator with different characteristics of the reflex effect on the user's body. Loops can also be used to electrically connect selected groups of needles to sources of electrical signals.

The massager can be made with means of electrical connection of selected groups of needles in the form of wires contacting the tops of the loops of the corresponding U-shaped clamps. The specified wires can be laid under the tops of the loops of the corresponding U-shaped brackets with the possibility of electrical contact with them.

To ensure the difference in electrochemical potentials, P-like clamps can be made

U-shaped staples made of different metals or making the protruding ends of U-shaped staples with at least a single-layer coating, the electrochemical potential of which differs from the electrochemical potential of the material of the U-shaped staple.

The massager includes an elastic base, which is made in the form of a three-dimensional body of rotation of a given spatial configuration, in particular in the form of a cylinder 1, on the outer surface of which there are reflective protrusions 2, in which the elements of the reflex effect in the form of needles 3, the points of which 4 protrude beyond the boundaries, are fixed reflex protrusions 2, forming the working side of the massager. The cylinder 1 is connected to the bushings, which are made in the form of elastic diaphragms 5 with two oppositely directed corrugations 6, 7. The elastic diaphragms 5 are installed on the elements of the massager armature, in particular on the free ends 8 of the fork-shaped bracket 9, with the possibility of rotation of the cylinder 1 around its longitudinal axes 10. The bracket 9 is connected to the handle 11 of the massager (Fig. 1).

Nodes of the rotating connection of the elastic diaphragms 5 with the free ends 8 of the fork-shaped bracket 9 can have different designs.

In Fig. 2 shows an example of the implementation of elastic diaphragms 5 with pins 12, the axes of which are coaxial with the longitudinal axis 10 of cylinder 1. The free ends 8 of the fork-shaped bracket 9 are made with holes 13, in which the pins 12 are installed with the possibility of rotation.

In Fig. 3 shows an example of the implementation of elastic diaphragms 5 with built-in bosses 14, the holes of which are coaxial with the longitudinal axis 10 of cylinder 1. The free ends 8 of the fork-shaped bracket 9 are made with semi-axes 15, which are installed in the holes of the bosses 14 with the possibility of rotation.

In Fig. 4 shows an example of the execution of nodes of the rotating connection of elastic diaphragms 5 with the free ends 8 of the forked bracket 9, when the elastic diaphragms 5 are fixed on the tube 16, the axis of which is coaxial with the longitudinal axis 10 of the cylinder 1, and the semi-axes 15 of the free ends 8 of the forked bracket 9 are installed in tube 16 with the possibility of rotation.

Needles, as means of reflex influence, can have different execution.

The solution is claimed, according to which the needles are made in the form of U-shaped staples, the ends of which protrude beyond the elastic base, and the crossbar is placed in the elastic base and made with bends forming at least one loop, the top of which protrudes beyond the elastic base.

In Fig. 5, 6 shows a fragment of a massager, the needles of which are made in the form of U-shaped staples, the ends 17 of which protrude beyond the boundaries of the elastic base 1, and the crossbar 18 is made with one loop 19, the top 20 of which protrudes beyond the boundaries of the elastic base 1 on the working side of the base 1 .

The value of the protrusion of the tops 20 beyond the elastic base 1 can be equal to or less than the value of the protrusion of the ends 17 of the U-shaped bracket. Loops 19 can be used as elements of a reflex effect (the protrusion of the top 20 is equal to the protrusion of the ends 17) or as limiting protrusions (the protrusion of the top 20 is less than the protrusion of the ends 17 by the amount D), which prevent the possibility of mechanical damage to the user's skin by the ends 17 of U-shaped brackets.

In Fig. 7, 8 shows a fragment of a massager, the needles of which are made in the form of U-shaped staples, the ends 17 of which protrude beyond the boundaries of the elastic base 1, and the crossbar 18 is made with one loop 21, the top 22 of which protrudes beyond the boundaries of the elastic base 1 from the side opposite to the working one on the side of the base 1. The massager is made with the means of electrical connection of the selected groups

From needles in the form of wires 23, 24 laid under the tops 22 of loops 21. The selected groups of needles in the given example are adjacent rows of needles. Loops 21 are used for electrical connection of selected groups of needles (adjacent rows of needles) with the help of wires 23, 24 laid under the tops 22 of loops 21 of adjacent rows of needles. Wires 23, 24 are zigzag-shaped, which preserves the elastic properties of its base and prevents damage to wires 23, 24 when the base 1 is deformed.

In fig. 9, 10 shows a fragment of a massager, the needles of which are made in the form of U-shaped staples, the ends 17 of which protrude beyond the elastic base 1, and the crossbar 18 is made with two loops 25, 26, the tops 27, 28 of which protrude beyond the elastic base 1 with opposite sides of the base 1. Loops 26 with tops 28 can be used as elements of a reflex effect or as elements that limit the degree of deformation of the user's skin by the ends 17 of the U-shaped bracket and prevent the possibility of mechanical damage to the skin. Loops 25 with tops 27 are used for electrical connection of selected groups of needles with the help of conductors 29, 30 laid under tops 27 of loops 25.

At least one of the ends 17 of the U-shaped bracket can be made with at least a single-layer coating, the electrochemical potential of which differs from the electrochemical potential of the material of the needles.

In Fig. 11 shows an example when one of the ends 17 of the U-shaped bracket is made with a continuous single-layer coating 31 of a material whose electrochemical potential differs from the electrochemical potential of the needle material. At the same time, there are galvanic microcurrents 32 between the coating 31 and the end 17 of the U-shaped bracket.

In Fig. 12 shows an example of a needle with a metal coating 33 with exposed tips of the ends 17 of the U-shaped bracket. The coating material 33 and the needle material have different electrochemical potentials. At the same time, there are galvanic microcurrents 34 between the coating 33 and the tips of the protruding ends 17 of the U-shaped bracket.

In Fig. 13 shows an example when the projecting ends 17 of the U-shaped bracket are made with different single-layer metal coatings 35, 36 with exposed tips of the projecting ends 17 of the bracket. The materials of the coatings 35, 36 and the material of the U-shaped bracket have different electrochemical potentials. At the same time, there are galvanic microcurrents 37 between the coatings 35, 36, microcurrents 38 between the coating 35 and the end 17 of the U-shaped bracket, microcurrents 39 between the coating 36 and 60 of the end 17 of the U-shaped bracket.

According to the second variant of the invention, the means of reflex influence are made in the form of needles with a metal coating and a layer of dielectric between the metal coating and the needle with the needle tip exposed, and the base is made with means of electrical connection of the needles and metal coatings of the needles with interchangeable poles of the source of electrical signals.

This implementation allows influencing the user's skin with electric signals of different sizes and shapes, as additional factors of the reflex effect.
