- Figure 3 is a schematic representation, in a partial sectional view, of the inner wall of a vessel of a ball massage device according to the invention
- Figure 4 is a schematic representation of a system for emptying a ball massage device according to the invention
- Figure 5 is a schematic representation of an alternative embodiment of the invention.
- a ball massage device in which the balls (immersed in a bath) are driven directly by the inner wall of the tank, the latter being mounted rotatively and preferentially easily removable for cleaning and possibly disinfection.
- a ball massage device comprises a tank 1 having an internal wall 100 delimiting a volume intended to receive a plurality of balls 102 and a bath 101 amount large enough for the balls to be immersed in the bath.
- the balls are made of a material belonging to the following group: - stainless steel, or not;
- silver beads or silver-coated or silver-containing may be added.
- beads present in a ball massage device can be made of different materials in the presence.
- the beads may be round or have an ovoid shape.
- the dimensions of the balls are provided so that the balls are part of a sphere whose diameter is between 2 and 10 mm.
- the vessel 1 of the device is rotatably mounted.
- the tank 1 is rotatably mounted on a frame 7, the bottom of the tank 1 having in its center an axis 6 extending coaxially with the axis of rotation X of the tank, the frame 7 having in turn a recess 70 intended to accommodate the axis 6, the cylindrical recess 70 having an internal diameter dimensioned so as to constitute a bearing for guiding the axis 6 in rotation.
- the vessel 1 is mounted to rotate about an axis X inclined between the vertical and the horizontal.
- the inclination of the X axis may vary according to the applications (hands, elbows, feet, knees ...) and will generally be such that the X axis forms an angle between 5 ° and 85 ° with the vertical.
- the inner wall 100 presents a plurality of streaks 105 ( Figure 3) regularly distributed, constituting a series of reliefs of a nature to promote the driving of the balls through the inner wall of the vessel.
- the inclined position of the axis of rotation of the tank, between the horizontal and the vertical, tends to cause a stirring of the balls decomposing into several phases: the beads present in the bath are driven by the inner wall of the tank, in the direction of rotation of the tank, in an upward flow, to a level where they fall towards the central region of the tank, then towards the bottom of the bath in which the balls are submerged at rest.
- the device comprises: the tank 1 previously described; a frame 7 on which the vessel 1 is rotatably mounted; a geared motor 4 fixed to a wall of the frame 7, this geared motor having a driving pinion 3 intended to mesh with a ring gear 2 mounted on the external wall of the tank (the ring 2 appearing more precisely in FIG.
- the ring gear being secured to the outer wall preferably directly adjacent the edge of the vessel defining the opening of the vessel;
- At least one roller, and preferably four rollers mounted free to rotate on the frame, so as to be in contact with the outer wall of the vessel and to guide the tank in rotation;
- the top cover is removably mounted on the housing.
- the tank 1 is removably mounted on the frame. Indeed, in the absence of the hood, the tank is retained axially by any means on the frame 7: the tank is placed so that its axis 6 comes to be housed in the demented cylindrical evvent 70 of the frame , the axis 6 being freely sliding in the cylindrical recess 70 of the frame. In parallel, the tank is put in place so that the ring gear 2 comes to mesh with the motor gear of the geared motor, the outer wall of the tank being in contact with the rollers 5. Thus, when the hood is removed from the frame, it is easy to access the tank, and it is sufficient to exert traction on the tank along the axis X to remove the tank from the frame.
- the device comprises emptying means for extracting from the tank on the one hand the bath in which the balls are immersed and, on the other hand, the balls.
- the bottom of the tank 1 is provided with a drain line 11; this emptying hole is the only means of emptying through which the bath and the balls can be extracted from the tank.
- drain pipe is equipped with means explained below for successively extracting the bath (only the balls being retained in the tank) and then the balls.
- the emptying means thus comprise two plugs: a first plug 104 for emptying the bath, allowing, when it is extracted, to allow the bath to flow out of the tank; a second drain plug 103, provided with means for retaining the balls, allowing the bath to flow out of the tank and retain the balls inside the tank when it is in place on the drain line 11 while the first cap 104 is removed from the device, and for extracting the balls out of the tank, under the effect of gravity, when removed from the drain line.
- the second plug 103 is mounted directly, for example by screwing, onto the drain conduit 11, and comprises:
- a ring 1030 having in its upper part mounting means, such as a thread, on the drain duct 11;
- an extension 1031 of the ring in the form of an axial duct with the ring and of diameter less than that of the ring; a grid 1032 for retaining the balls placed inside the ring, between the upper part thereof and the extension 1031 (preferably resting on the bottom of the ring), so as to cover the conduit 1031.
- the grid 1032 has meshes whose dimensions are provided according to the diameter of the balls, to prevent the passage of the latter through the mesh of the grid.
- the extension 1031 has mounting means, such as a threading, intended to cooperate with complementary mounting means, such as a thread, provided on the first plug 104, so that the first cap can be mounted on the extension 1031 to obstruct it.
- mounting means such as a threading
- complementary mounting means such as a thread
- the emptying of the tank is thus carried out in two stages: a first time in which the first plug 104 is removed from the device, allowing the flow of the bath from the tank while the balls are retained by the grid 1032;
- a drain pan 10 (or more) equips the device to collect the bath and / or the balls.
- the vessel 1 is mounted to rotate on a chassis 7 itself mounted on a supporting structure 70.
- the chassis is mounted on the supporting structure so as to be able to pivot about a horizontal axis H with respect to the supporting structure.
- the carrier structure has two amounts 701 each coupled to the frame by a pivot connection about the axis H.
- a ball massage device according to the invention is intended to be powered by a conventional 220 V power supply.
- the electric geared motor is associated with a device for controlling and controlling control to trigger the rotation of the tank, and to adjust the speed of rotation thereof in a range of 10 rpm to 50 rpm.
- a ball massage device is preferably equipped with means for adjusting the height of the tank, making it possible to adapt the height of the tank according to the use and to facilitate access to the tank for the user (different height for massage of the lower limbs and for the massage of the upper limbs).
