La présente invention est du domaine des commodités de la vie courante et elle a plus particulièrement pour objet un dispositif de douche masseuse adaptable à une installation de bain existante.The present invention is in the field of conveniences of everyday life and it relates more particularly to a massaging shower device adaptable to an existing bath installation.
On connait par un brevet GB-A 380.831 un dispositif d'aspersion du corps, animé d'un mouvement vertical de va et vient ; un brevet FR-A 2 369 833 (HALPHEN) a décrit plus récemment un dispositif simplifié par rapport au précédent. La seconde antériorité citée, la plus pertinente vis à vis du domaine d'application, décrit un dispositif de douche masseuse dans lequel une rampe allongée est entrainée le long d'un guide vertical par un moteur électrique et ses moyens d'entrainement ; un commutateur inverseur de marche du moteur est placé sous la dépendance des moyens d'entrainement. Cependant ce dispositif présente les inconvénients suivants : en premier lieu, il est nécessaire de pourvoir l'installation de douche d'une rampe, supplémentaire par rapport à la pomme habituelle, et de moyens d'adduction de l'eau ; en second lieu, l'inverseur électrique est soumis, dans l'atmosphère corrosive des vapeurs de cabine de douche, à de très nombreuses opérations d'inversion qui très rapidement en altèrent le fonctionnement.GB-A 380,831 discloses a body sprinkling device, driven in a vertical movement back and forth; a patent FR-

En considération des inconvénients de l'art antérieur, la présente invention a pour but de proposer un procédé de commandes du mouvement de va-et-vient d'un élément de massage, et son dispositif de mise en oeuvre, particulièrement performant, qui permettent d'éviter le câblage et permettent l'utilisation d'installations de douches existantes, le système de va-et-vient étant indépendant de l'alimentation d'eau.In consideration of the drawbacks of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to propose a method for controlling the back-and-forth movement of a massage element, and its particularly efficient implementation device, which allow avoid wiring and allow the use of existing shower installations, the back-and-forth system being independent of the water supply.
Selon la présente invention, un procédé pour la mise en mouvement d'une pomme de douche utilisée pour le massage, comportant une pomme de douche fixée à un support se déplaçant suivant un mouvement de va-et-vient dans une coulisse est caractérisé d'une manière générale en ce que la pomme étant mise en mouvement le long d'une coulisse entre deux butées, par un moteur électrique, on utilise l'augmentation du courant électrique dans le moteur pour inverser à chaque venue en butée le sens de déplacement de la pomme.According to the present invention, a method for setting in motion a shower head used for massage, comprising a head shower fixed to a support moving back and forth in a slide is generally characterized in that the head being set in motion along a slide between two stops, by an electric motor , the increase in the electric current in the motor is used to reverse the direction of movement of the apple at each stop.
L'invention a aussi pour objet un dispositif pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé, comprenant un profilé creux, formant coulisse, un support de pomme manoeuvrable en "va-et-vient" comprenant un support aux extrémités duquel sont fixés deux coulisseaux et des moyens pour fixer provisoirement la pomme de douche sur le support.The invention also relates to a device for implementing the method, comprising a hollow profile, forming a slide, a maneuverable back-and-forth apple support comprising a support at the ends of which are fixed two slides and means for temporarily fixing the shower head on the support.
Suivant une caractéristique de l'invention un ressort à compression est disposé dans un trou prévu à cet effet à l'intérieur des butées, cette disposition laissant apparaître une petite partie du ressort du côté où arrive le support et les coulisseaux lors de la translation, ce ressort étant destiné à éviter les chutes brutales d'intensité lorsque le dispositif de va-et-vient arrive à proximité des butées.According to a characteristic of the invention, a compression spring is disposed in a hole provided for this purpose inside the stops, this arrangement revealing a small part of the spring on the side where the support and the slides arrive during translation, this spring being intended to prevent sudden drops in intensity when the back-and-forth device arrives near the stops.
Avantageusement, ces butées sont fixées à l'endroit désiré de la coulisse par des vis.Advantageously, these stops are fixed to the desired location of the slide by screws.
Suivant une seconde caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif de manoeuvre comprend un moto-réducteur, un interrupteur, un système électronique de commande comportant au moins une temporisation, un redresseur de courant et un détecteur de surintensité d'alimentation du moteur.According to a second characteristic of the invention, the operating device comprises a geared motor, a switch, an electronic control system comprising at least one time delay, a current rectifier and a motor supply overcurrent detector.
Selon une caractéristique secondaire, les éléments constitutifs de système de commande sont réunis dans un boîtier dit carter, fixé au profil par des vis.According to a secondary characteristic, the constituent elements of the control system are brought together in a so-called casing housing, fixed to the profile by screws.
Avantageusement, le dispositif est supporté par un profilé, de structure creuse et de forme rectangulaire, fixé au mur par des charnières, pouvant être munies d'un système de blocage, ledit profilé recevant également des cornières formant protection du mécanisme de va-et-vient.Advantageously, the device is supported by a profile, of hollow structure and of rectangular shape, fixed to the wall by hinges, which can be provided with a locking system, said profile also receiving angles forming protection of the back-and-forth mechanism.
Suivant une forme particulière de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, un profil pouvant être en aluminium extrudé, comportant une coulisse est fixé au mur, verticalement, par l'intermédiaire de charnières. Ce mode de fixation permet le déplacement de l'appareil selon les besoins de rangement ou de l'angle nécessaire d'utilisation. Ce profil sert de support à toutes les pièces composant l'appareil. Dans la coulisse de ce profil navigue le système de va-et-vient qui porte la ou les pommes de douche. Cette coulisse reçoit également les butées de fin de course haute et basse qui peuvent être bloquées à l'endroit désiré par un bouton de serrage. Cet ensemble est également caractérisé par le fait que sa conception permet l'utilisation de l'installation de douche existante. Le système de va-et-vient est mû par un motoréducteur alimenté par un courant de faible tension. Ce motoréducteur est situé à la partie haute du profil. Il est fixé à un boîtier qui est vissé en bout du profil. L'arbre de sortie du motoréducteur comporte une poulie qui entraîne une chaînette, ou un ruban, continue dont la boucle est tendue par une autre poulie dont le support engagé dans la coulisse du profil permet le réglage. La chaînette est fixée au système de va-et-vient et le met en mouvement dès la mise en marche du moteur. Une autre caractéristique principale de l'invention réside dans la réalisation de l'ensemble de commande électrique et électronique basé sur la mesure d'une surintensité du courant du moteur, à partir de laquelle est provoquée l'inversion du sens de rotation du moteur. Sur le type de moteur à courant continu utilisé, l'intensité varie de un à trois entre la phase d'utilisation et le blocage du moteur. Pour faciliter la mesure de variation d'intensité absorbée chaque butée est munie d'un ressort de compression.According to a particular form of implementation of the invention, a profile which may be made of extruded aluminum, comprising a slide is fixed to the wall, vertically, by means of hinges. This method of attachment allows the device to be moved according to storage needs or the angle required for use. This profile serves as a support for all the parts making up the device. Behind the scenes of this profile navigates the back-and-forth system that carries the shower head (s). This slide also receives the upper and lower limit stops which can be locked at the desired location by a tightening button. This set is also characterized by the fact that its design allows the use of the existing shower installation. The back-and-forth system is driven by a gearmotor powered by a low voltage current. This gearmotor is located at the top of the profile. It is fixed to a housing which is screwed at the end of the profile. The output shaft of the gearmotor comprises a pulley which drives a continuous chain, or ribbon, the loop of which is stretched by another pulley, the support of which is engaged in the slide of the profile allows adjustment. The chain is attached to the back-and-forth system and sets it in motion as soon as the engine is started. Another main characteristic of the invention resides in the production of the electrical and electronic control assembly based on the measurement of an overcurrent of the motor current, from which is caused the reversal of the direction of rotation of the motor. On the type of DC motor used, the intensity varies from one to three between the use phase and the blocking of the motor. To facilitate the measurement of the variation in intensity absorbed, each stop is provided with a compression spring.
Suivant une autre forme de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif est supporté depuis le mur par des moyens dits premiers lui permettant de pivoter parallèlement à lui même, autour d'un axe vertical et à une certaine distance de cet axe.According to another embodiment of the invention, the device is supported from the wall by so-called prime means allowing it to pivot parallel to itself, about a vertical axis and at a certain distance from this axis.
Avantageusement les dits premiers moyens permettent, en outre, au profilé, dit aussi rail de guidage, d'être déplacé pallèlement à lui-même et au dit axe de pivotement, c'est-à-dire verticalement de telle sorte que le rail placé en position de non-utilisation au-dessus du rebord de la baignoire, puisse, après pivotement, être abaissé à l'intérieur de la baignoire, ou du receveur, pour permettre le massage des jambes.Advantageously, said first means allow, in addition, the profile, also called guide rail, to be displaced pallially to itself and to said pivot axis, that is to say vertically so that the rail placed in the non-use position above the rim of the bath, can, after pivoting, be lowered inside the bath, or the receiver, to allow massage of the legs.
Avantageusement encore un dispositif de l'invention, suivant la variante, comporte des moyens compensateurs du poids du rail de guidage, ces moyens appliquant une force de bas en haut légèrement inférieure au poids de l'ensemble formé par le guide, la pomme de douche et son tuyau de raccordement.Advantageously still a device of the invention, according to the variant, comprises means compensating for the weight of the guide rail, these means applying a force from bottom to top slightly less than the weight of the assembly formed by the guide, the shower head and its connecting pipe.
Suivant une forme préférée de réalisation les dits premiers moyens sont constitués par un profilé fixé au mur, le dit profilé comprenant une partie à section circulaire ouverte, et par au moins un bras dont une première extrémité comporte un embout cylindrique destiné à être logé dans la partie à section circulaire du dit profilé pour s'y mouvoir aussi bien en rotation qu'en translation. Avantageusement l'ouverture angulaire α1 de la partie à section circulaire, est comprise entre 90° et 120°, et l'embout cylindrique est raccordé au bras par une partie de raccordement dont l'épaisseur angulaire α2 est inférieure à 20° ; il résulte de cette disposition que le pivotement maximal du bras peut être compris entre 70° et 100°.According to a preferred embodiment, said first means consist of a profile fixed to the wall, said profile comprising a part with an open circular section, and by at least one arm of which a first end comprises a cylindrical endpiece intended to be housed in the part with circular section of said profile to move therein both in rotation and in translation. Advantageously, the angular opening α1 of the part with circular section, is between 90 ° and 120 °, and the cylindrical end piece is connected to the arm by a connecting part whose angular thickness α2 is less than 20 °; it follows from this arrangement that the maximum pivoting of the arm can be between 70 ° and 100 °.
Toujours selon la forme préférée de réalisation les dits moyens compensateurs de poids sont constitués par un vérin à gaz logé dans la partie à section circulaire du profilé, le vérin prenant appui d'un côté sous ledit embout cylindrique de bras, et de l'autre côté sur une butée calée dans le profilé.Still according to the preferred embodiment, said weight-compensating means consist of a gas cylinder housed in the circular section of the profile, the cylinder bearing on one side under said cylindrical arm end piece, and on the other side on a stop wedged in the profile.
Suivant une disposition annexe applicable aussi bien au cas où le rail de guidage peut être déplacé verticalement, qu' au cas où il ne le serait pas, le dispositif de l'invention comprend des moyens permettant au dit rail de guidage de pivoter sur lui-même autour de son axe longitudinal ; il résulte de cette dernière disposition que le jet peut être orienté en direction des murs surplombant la baignoire.According to an annexed provision applicable both to the case where the guide rail can be moved vertically, as well as to the case where it would not be, the device of the invention comprises means allowing the said guide rail to pivot on itself. even around its longitudinal axis; it follows from this latter arrangement that the jet can be directed towards the walls overhanging the bathtub.

Un exemple de réalisation de cet ensemble sera décrit en détail plus loin. L'arbre de sortie du réducteur 5 est muni d'une poulie 9 qui entraîne une chaînette 10. Cette chaînette 10 continue, c'est-à-dire formant boucle, est maintenue tendue par une poulie 14 dont le support réglable est la même pièce que des butées 13. Cette pièce 13 ainsi utilisée est engagée dans la coulisse 11 du profil 1. La vis 19 de blocage sert d'axe à la poulie 14. La chaînette 10 est fixée au va-et-vient 15 par une vis 16. La mise en marche du moteur met en mouvement le système de va-et-vient. Les butées 13 , haute et basse, sont bloquées dans la rainure 11 du profil I et limitent la course du va-et-vient 15. Les butées 13 reçoivent un ressort 20 qui dépasse de quelques millimètres de son logement 25. Les pièces 22 du va-et-vient arrivent en butée sur le ressort 20, l'intensité absorbée par le moteur augmente jusqu'à totale compression du ressort. Cette plage d'augmentation d'intensité mesurée par l'ensemble électronique du circuit imprimé 6 déclenche l'inverseur de courant et change ainsi le sens de rotation du moteur.Fig.3 shows the whole:
La fig.4 représente la section du profil 1 ainsi que les deux cornières 2 formant caches de protection. Ces cornières 2 sont fixées au profil 1 par les vis 21. Le profil 1 est de section rectangulaire, creux, sa partie creuse est divisée en deux par une cloison 28 destinée à renforcée le fond du logement 29. De chaque côté de ce logement 28, il existe deux rainures 11 en forme de L opposés dans lesquels viennent coulisser les pièces 22 du va-et-vient, les butées 13 et le support de la poulie 14. Le logement 29 est l'endroit où viennent les vis des butées 13 et du support de la poulie 14. Sur chacun des grands côtés, il existe deux alvéoles 24 destinés à recevoir les vis de fixation du boîtier 3.Fig.4 shows the section of the
La fig.5 est celle de l'ensemble va-et-vient vu de profil. Il est composé de deux coulisseaux 22 réunis entre deux par une pièce 15 en forme de U qui est fixé aux pièces 22 par les vis 23. Ce U 15 comporte un support 17 qui reçoit la pomme de douche 18. Un support de forme différente pourrait remplacer 17 et comporter par exemple deux pommes de douche alimentées par une alimentation en eau directe sans passer par l'installation existante.Fig.5 is that of the back and forth assembly seen in profile. It is composed of two
La fig.6 représente une butée 13 qui dans sa présentation est celle du bas et lorsqu'inversée devient celle du haut. Le ressort 20 vient se loger dans le trou 25 prévu à cet effet, dont la profondeur est inférieure à la longueur du ressort 20 pour permettre lors de sa compression jusqu'à la butée 13 de mesurer l'augmentation de l'intensité du courant absorbé par le moteur et déclencher l'inverseur de courant qui change le sens de rotation du moteur. La vis 19 permet de bloquer la butée à l'endroit désiré pour régler la course selon les besoins du massage.Fig.6 shows a
Sur la fig.7, une variante du dispositif de l'invention est constitué d'un rail de guidage 102 le long duquel peut circuler en un mouvement vertical de va-et-vient une pomme de douche 101, d'un profilé 110 fixé à un mur 103 surmontant le rebord 108 d'une baignoire 104, et de deux bras 112 articulés sur le profilé 110 et fixés au rail 102.In fig.7, a variant of the device of the invention consists of a
L'articulation des bras 112 sur le profilé 110 leur permet, à la fois, un mouvement de rotation (flèches 106) autour d'un axe vertical 105 dit de pivotement, et un mouvement vertical de translation (flèches 107) ; grâce à cette double possibilité de mouvement le rail peut être à volonté soit être descendu dans la baignoire pour permettre le massage de la partie inférieure des jambes, (position illustrée par la fig.7) soit être remonté et rabattu au-dessus du rebord 108 de la baignoire (situation illustrée par la fig.8).The articulation of the
Sur la fig.9 le profilé 110 comprend une partie 109 à section sensiblement carrée et une partie 111 à section circulaire ouverte, l'ouverture formant une longue fente tout au long du profilé. La partie à section circulaire est destinée à loger, avec un faible jeu, un embout 113 cylindrique des bras 112 ; l'embout 113 est raccordé au bras par une partie 115 de raccordement assez mince d'épaisseur angulaire α2 ; la section circulaire du profilé est ouverte sur un angle α1, dit angle d'ouverture ; si l'épaisseur angulaire α2 de l'embout est de 20° et l'ouverture angulaire du profilé de 120°, la possibilité de débattement des bras 112 en pivotement est de 100° ; ces valeurs d'angle, bien que données à titre indicatif, permettent à la fois un bon maintien des embouts cylindriques dans le profilé, une solidité suffisante de l'embout et un débattement suffisant des bras. Cette forme de charnière permet en outre le déplacement des bras, donc du rail de guidage 102 le long de la fente du profilé 110.In fig. 9 the
Pour allèger le poids apparent de l'ensemble du rail de guidage, des bras qui le supportent et du tuyau 120 de raccordement, et éventuellement de moyens-moteurs 128 destinés à l'entrainement en va-et-vient de la pomme, un vérin à gaz 116 est logé dans la partie circulaire 111 du profilé 110 et prend appui au-dessous de l'embout cylindrique 113 de l'extrémité du bras supérieur 112 ; ce vérin fonctionne à la manière d'un ressort ; un système de contre-poids pourrait assurer une fonction équivalente. Le vérin prend appui sur une pièce cylindrique 117 formant butée, calée dans la partie circulaire du profilé au moyen d'une vis 118.To lighten the apparent weight of the entire guide rail, the arms which support it and the connecting
Dans cette forme de réalisation, il a parut préférable d'alimenter les moyens-moteurs 128 au moyen de piles, ou autre accumulateur 121, de façon à conférer au dispositif une autonomie parfaite.In this embodiment, it seemed preferable to power the motor means 128 by means of batteries, or
Sur la fig.10, des moyens électroniques de commande de la manoeuvre en va-et-vient, selon une conception particulière avantageuse, comprennent :

Revenont à la fig.7 sur laquelle est refermé par 121 un boîtier contenant des piles ou autre batterie d'accumulateur, on notera qu'un tel mode d'alimentation autonome peut être appliqué au dispositif des figures 1 à 3 (première variante).Coming back to fig.7 on which is closed by 121 a housing containing batteries or other accumulator battery, it will be noted that such an autonomous power supply mode can be applied to the device of Figures 1 to 3 (first variant).
Cependant il est encore possible de prévoir des moyens d'alimentation mixte, tels que prévus par le schéma électronique, moyens grâce auxquels l'alimentation électrique basse-tension en provenance du secteur, peut être remplacée par une alimentation par la batterie si celle-ci est suffisamment chargée, et grâce auxquels la recharge de la batterie s'effectue automatiquement lors de la non utilisation des moyens de manoeuvre en va-et-vient. Ces moyens d'alimentation mixte comprennent pour l'utilisateur, outre ceux compris dans la carte électronique, un bouton-poussoir 171 de mise sous tension de la carte, et un voyant lumineux constitué par les moyens 172 de signalisation précités (fig.3).However, it is still possible to provide mixed supply means, such as those provided by the electronic diagram, means by which the low-voltage electrical supply coming from the mains, can be replaced by a supply by the battery if the latter is sufficiently charged, and thanks to which the battery is recharged automatically when the reciprocating means are not used. These mixed supply means comprise for the user, in addition to those included in the electronic card, a
