Description

La présente invention se rapporte au domaine technique général des appareils de massage à usage manuel destinés à procurer à l'utilisateur un effet bénéfique de délassement dans la zone traitée.The present invention relates to the general technical field of massage devices for manual use intended to provide the user with a beneficial effect of relaxation in the treated area.

L'invention concerne un délasseur pour le corps humain, en particulier pour les jambes, comprenant un bâti principal associé à un organe de préhension, au moins un moyen de stockage d'un fluide à appliquer, et au moins un moyen de massage disposé sur le bâti de manière à assurer, simultanément à l'action de massage, l'application du fluide sur la zone traitée.The invention relates to a relaxer for the human body, in particular for the legs, comprising a main frame associated with a gripping member, at least one means for storing a fluid to be applied, and at least one massage means arranged on the frame so as to ensure, simultaneously with the massage action, the application of the fluid to the treated area.

L'invention trouve tout particulièrement, mais non exclusivement, son application dans le traitement du phénomène bien connu des "jambes lourdes". Ce phénomène, causé par un retour veineux déficitaire, survient le plus fréquemment en été chez les personnes dont les contractions musculaires sont insuffisantes pour assurer le retour du sang vers le coeur lorsque le diamètre de la veine a augmenté sous l'effet de la chaleur.The invention finds very particularly, but not exclusively, its application in the treatment of the well known phenomenon of "heavy legs". This phenomenon, caused by a deficient venous return, occurs most frequently in summer in people whose muscle contractions are insufficient to ensure the return of blood to the heart when the diameter of the vein has increased under the effect of heat.

Pour résoudre ce problème il est déjà connu d'avoir recours tout simplement à des bains de pieds ou à des bains bouillonnants supposés faciliter le retour du sang vers le coeur. De tels procédés s'avèrent de mise en oeuvre facile, mais ne procurent qu'un effet de soulagement éphémère dont l'efficacité est donc limitée.To solve this problem, it is already known to resort simply to foot baths or whirlpool baths supposed to facilitate the return of blood to the heart. Such methods prove to be easy to implement, but only provide an ephemeral relief effect whose effectiveness is therefore limited.

Les appareils classiques de massage, tel que celui décrit par exemple dans le brevet US-A-5.131.384 ne sont pas spécifiquement conçus pour porter remède au phénomène particulier des jambes lourdes. De tels appareils comportent à partir d'un bâti principal susceptible d'être manipulé manuellement par l'utilisateur, un réservoir de stockage d'un fluide destiné à être appliqué sur la peau simultanément à l'action de massage procuré par un ensemble de billes. Le réservoir de liquide est disposé en relation avec les billes de manière à ce que ces dernières puissent permettre l'application d'un film de fluide sur la zone traitée. Ces appareils sont plus particulièrement conçus pour l'application de fluide ou liquide à usage médical en conjonction à une action de massage pour traiter plus spécialement des problèmes musculaires ou cutanés. De tels appareils sont par ailleurs de conception souvent complexe et les opérations de remplissage du réservoir et de nettoyage difficiles. Il convient en particulier de noter que pour des appareils comportant des pièces en contact avec la peau il s'avère particulièrement important de pouvoir nettoyer correctement l'ensemble des pièces en contact avec la peau et d'avoir accès facilement à toutes les zones dans lesquelles des foyers bactériens peuvent se développer.Conventional massage devices, such as that described for example in patent US-A-5,131,384 are not specifically designed to remedy the phenomenon especially heavy legs. Such devices comprise, from a main frame capable of being manipulated manually by the user, a reservoir for storing a fluid intended to be applied to the skin simultaneously with the massage action provided by a set of balls . The liquid reservoir is arranged in relation to the balls so that the latter can allow the application of a film of fluid on the treated area. These devices are more particularly designed for the application of fluid or liquid for medical use in conjunction with a massage action to more specifically treat muscular or skin problems. Such devices are moreover often of complex design and the operations of filling the tank and cleaning difficult. It should in particular be noted that for devices comprising parts in contact with the skin, it is particularly important to be able to properly clean all of the parts in contact with the skin and to have easy access to all the areas in which bacterial foci can develop.

L'objet de la présente invention vise en conséquence à porter remède aux inconvénients des dispositifs de l'art antérieur connu, en particulier tels que ceux mentionnés précédemment, et à proposer un appareil délasseur pour le corps humain, en particulier pour traiter spécifiquement le phénomène des jambes lourdes, et dont la manipulation à des fins de nettoyage notamment est particulièrement améliorée à l'aide de moyens simples et fiables.The object of the present invention therefore aims to remedy the drawbacks of the devices of the known prior art, in particular such as those mentioned above, and to provide a relaxation device for the human body, in particular for specifically treating the phenomenon heavy legs, and whose handling for cleaning purposes in particular is particularly improved using simple and reliable means.

Un autre objet de l'invention vise à fournir un appareil délasseur dont le remplissage du réservoir de fluide est facilité.Another object of the invention is to provide a relaxation device whose filling of the fluid reservoir is facilitated.

Un autre objet de l'invention vise à fournir un appareil délasseur facilitant l'observation du niveau de liquide de traitement sans démontage ni manipulation particulière dudit appareil.Another object of the invention is to provide a relaxation device facilitating the observation of the level of treatment liquid without disassembly or particular manipulation of said device.

Un autre objet de l'invention vise à fournir un appareil de délassage dont le nettoyage de chaque pièce destinée à être en contact avec la peau est particulièrement facile à réaliser.Another object of the invention is to provide a relaxation device, the cleaning of each part intended to be in contact with the skin is particularly easy to perform.

Un objet complémentaire de l'invention vise à fournir un appareil de délassage dont la répartition et distribution du fluide de traitement est accomplie de manière régulière et homogène sur la surface à traiter.A complementary object of the invention aims to provide a relaxation device whose distribution and distribution of the treatment fluid is accomplished in a regular and homogeneous manner over the surface to be treated.

Un autre objet de l'invention vise à fournir un appareil de délassage dont le débit de distribution de fluide est maîtrisé et régulier.Another object of the invention is to provide a relaxation device whose fluid delivery rate is controlled and regular.

Les objets assignés à l'invention sont atteints à l'aide d'un appareil délasseur pour le corps humain, en particulier pour les jambes, comprenant un bâti principal associé à un organe de préhension, au moins un moyen de stockage d'un fluide à appliquer, au moins un moyen de massage disposé sur le bâti de manière à assurer, simultanément à l'action de massage, l'application du fluide sur le corps caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte :

  • des moyens de séchage aptes à assurer l'évaporation du fluide sur la zone d'application,
  • un bloc support autonome monté amovible sur le bâti et supportant le moyen de stockage et le moyen de massage.
The objects assigned to the invention are achieved using a relaxation device for the human body, in particular for the legs, comprising a main frame associated with a gripping member, at least one means of storing a fluid to apply, at least one massage means arranged on the frame so as to ensure, simultaneously with the massage action, the application of the fluid to the body characterized in that it comprises:
  • drying means capable of ensuring the evaporation of the fluid on the application area,
  • an autonomous support block removably mounted on the frame and supporting the storage means and the massage means.

D'autres exemples et avantages de l'invention seront décrits en détail dans la description qui suit, à la lumière des dessins annexés, fournis à titre explicatif et non limitatif, dans lesquels :

Other examples and advantages of the invention will be described in detail in the description which follows, in the light of the appended drawings, provided by way of explanation and without limitation, in which:
  • Figure 1 shows a general view, a perspective of a relaxation device according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a general perspective view identical to that of Figure 1, a relaxation device according to the invention in which the block work support is extracted from the device frame.

  • Figure 4 shows in a longitudinal cross-sectional view the internal structure of a relaxation device according to the invention.
  • Figure 5 shows a bottom view of a relaxation device according to the invention.

L'appareil délasseur conforme à l'invention montré à la figure 1 comporte un bâti principal 1 formé par exemple par deux demi-coques 2, 3 respectivement supérieure et inférieure, réalisées en un matériau plastique par exemple, et assemblées par tout moyen approprié, et tel que par collage ou clipsage.The relaxation device according to the invention shown in FIG. 1 comprises a main frame 1 formed for example by two half-shells 2, 3 respectively upper and lower, made of a plastic material for example, and assembled by any suitable means, and as by gluing or clipping.

Le bâti principal 1 est associé à une extrémité à un organe de préhension 4 formant une poignée destinée à être saisie par l'utilisateur et constituant un prolongement des deux demi-coques 2, 3.The main frame 1 is associated at one end with a gripping member 4 forming a handle intended to be grasped by the user and constituting an extension of the two half-shells 2, 3.

L'extrémité opposée à l'organe de préhension 4 forme la tête 5 du corps principal 1 comportant au moins une partie des organes de travail de l'appareil délasseur conforme à l'invention.The opposite end to the gripping member 4 forms the head 5 of the main body 1 comprising at least part of the working members of the relaxing device according to the invention.

Tel que montré aux figures 2 à 4, les organes de travail comprennent d'une part un bloc support autonome 10 monté amovible sur le bâti principal 1, et en particulier sur la demi-coque inférieure 3, et d'autre part un système de ventilation 20 monté et logé dans le corps interne du bâti principal 1.As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the working members comprise on the one hand an autonomous support block 10 removably mounted on the main frame 1, and in particular on the lower half-shell 3, and on the other hand a system of ventilation 20 mounted and housed in the internal body of the main frame 1.

Le système de ventilation 20 est constitué par exemple d'un organe soufflant 21 associé à un moteur 22 alimenté électriquement par des moyens d'alimentation en énergie électrique autonomes sous forme d'une batterie 23 ou dérivés du secteur. L'organe soufflant 21 est agencé de manière à fournir un flux d'air continu sur la zone du corps humain traitée par l'appareil délasseur. Le système de ventilation 20 forme ainsi un moyen de séchage de la zone d'application.The ventilation system 20 consists for example of a blowing member 21 associated with a motor 22 supplied electrically by means of supplying autonomous electrical energy in the form of a battery 23 or derivatives of the sector. The blowing member 21 is arranged so as to provide a continuous flow of air over the area of the human body treated by the relaxing device. The ventilation system 20 thus forms a means of drying the application area.

Le bloc support autonome 10 constitue une entité physique définie supportant ou comprenant un moyen de stockage 11 d'un fluide à appliquer et à distribuer sur la zone à traiter du corps humain et un moyen de massage 12.The autonomous support block 10 constitutes a defined physical entity supporting or comprising a storage means 11 for a fluid to be applied and distributed on the area to be treated of the human body and a massage means 12.

Selon une version préférentielle de l'invention, le moyen de stockage 11 est formé par un réservoir 13 destiné à contenir un liquide. Le réservoir 13 forme la partie supérieure du bloc support autonome 10 et est pourvu dans son fond 14 de perçages 15 formant des orifices de distribution de fluide. De préférence les orifices de distribution de fluide 15 sont au nombre de trois et alignés sensiblement dans la partie centrale du fond 14, selon l'axe transversal du moyen de massage 12. De préférence le fond 14 forme une voûte de convexité tournée vers le volume interne du réservoir 13, ledit fond 14 joignant l'extrémité inférieure des parois frontale 13a et arrière (non visible sur les figures) du réservoir 13. La partie supérieure du réservoir 13 est constituée d'un panneau de fermeture pourvu, de préférence dans sa partie centrale, d'une ouverture de remplissage 16, par exemple circulaire. Le bloc support autonome 10 comprend en outre un volet 17 monté de préférence à pivotement sur le réservoir 13, ledit volet 17 étant pourvu d'un pion de fermeture 18 de dimension adaptée à l'orifice de remplissage 16 de manière à constituer un volet de fermeture hermétique et étanche du réservoir 13.According to a preferred version of the invention, the storage means 11 is formed by a reservoir 13 intended to contain a liquid. The reservoir 13 forms the upper part of the autonomous support block 10 and is provided in its bottom 14 with holes 15 forming fluid distribution orifices. Preferably the fluid distribution orifices 15 are three in number and aligned substantially in the central part of the bottom 14, along the transverse axis of the massage means 12. Preferably the bottom 14 forms a convexity vault turned towards the volume internal of the reservoir 13, said bottom 14 joining the lower end of the front 13a and rear walls (not visible in the figures) of the reservoir 13. The upper part of the reservoir 13 consists of a closure panel provided, preferably in its central part, with a filling opening 16, for example circular. The autonomous support block 10 further comprises a flap 17 preferably pivotally mounted on the reservoir 13, said flap 17 being provided with a closing pin 18 of dimension adapted to the filling orifice 16 so as to constitute a flap of hermetic and watertight closure of the tank 13.

Selon une version préférentielle de l'invention, le moyen de massage 12 est formé par au moins un rouleau monté sous le moyen de stockage 11 et au moins en partie dans la voûte du réservoir 13, et de préférence au droit des orifices de distribution 15 du réservoir 13 de façon à être enveloppé partiellement par le fond 14. Avantageusement le rouleau 12 est supporté à rotation au niveau de ses axes de rotations 12a, 12b formant des tétons latéraux, de manière amovible par des pattes latérales 31, 32 solidaires du bloc support 10 et s'étendant latéralement vers le bas à partir de ce dernier.According to a preferred version of the invention, the massage means 12 is formed by at least one roller mounted under the storage means 11 and at least partly in the roof of the reservoir 13, and preferably in line with the distribution orifices 15 of the reservoir 13 so as to be partially enveloped by the bottom 14. Advantageously the roller 12 is rotatably supported at its axes of rotation 12a, 12b forming lateral pins, removably by lateral tabs 31, 32 integral with the support block 10 and extending laterally downward from the latter.

Selon un montage préférentiel, les pattes latérales 31, 32 présentent suffisamment de flexibilité de manière à permettre l'engagement à force du rouleau 12 entre ces dernières et le maintien des tétons 12a, 12b dans des cavités ménagées dans lesdites pattes latérales 31, 32.According to a preferred arrangement, the lateral tabs 31, 32 have sufficient flexibility so as to allow the engagement by force of the roller 12 therebetween and the retention of the pins 12a, 12b in cavities formed in said lateral tabs 31, 32.

Selon une version particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, le rouleau 12 est supporté à rotation par l'intermédiaire des pattes latérales 31, 32 dans une position stable sous le fond 14 du réservoir 13 et à distance dudit fond 14, de manière à ménager un volume libre.According to a particularly advantageous version of the invention, the roller 12 is rotatably supported by means of the lateral tabs 31, 32 in a stable position under the bottom 14 of the reservoir 13 and at a distance from said bottom 14, so as to provide a free volume.

Avantageusement, une partie de ce volume libre est occupé par un moyen de répartition de fluide 40, formé par exemple d'un organe imbibeur tel qu'un feutre polyester. Ce dernier est par exemple formé d'un bloc sensiblement parallélépipédique d'épaisseur légèrement supérieure à la distance séparant le rouleau 12 du fond 14, de manière à pouvoir être comprimé lorsque le rouleau 12 est dans sa position stable de travail.Advantageously, part of this free volume is occupied by a fluid distribution means 40, formed for example from a soaking member such as a polyester felt. The latter is for example formed of a substantially parallelepipedal block of thickness slightly greater than the distance separating the roller 12 from the base 14, so that it can be compressed when the roller 12 is in its stable working position.

Le moyen de répartition de fluide 40 est par ailleurs solidaire, par exemple par collage du fond 14, et disposé de manière à recouvrir et boucher les orifices de distribution 15.The fluid distribution means 40 is also integral, for example by bonding the bottom 14, and arranged so as to cover and plug the dispensing orifices 15.

Un tel montage permet à la fois de maîtriser et de régulariser le débit d'écoulement du liquide contenu dans le réservoir 13, et par compression de régulariser son application sur la zone à traiter en permettant de maintenir un film de liquide d'épaisseur constante sur le rouleau 12.Such an arrangement makes it possible both to control and regularize the flow rate of the liquid contained in the reservoir 13, and by compression to regularize its application on the area to be treated by allowing a film of liquid of constant thickness to be maintained over roller 12.

Selon une autre version particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, le rouleau 12 comporte une enveloppe externe concave, dont la concavité est tournée vers l'extérieur, formant lors de son application sur la peau de l'utilisateur, une zone latérale de refoulement de la peau à l'extrémité du rouleau 12 et une zone centrale d'aspiration. Une telle forme dite "diabolo" facilite bien évidemment le massage et l'application du liquide et est particulièrement bien adaptée au massage des membres inférieurs.According to another particularly advantageous version of the invention, the roller 12 comprises a concave external envelope, the concavity of which faces outwards, forming, when it is applied to the skin of the user, a lateral zone of delivery of the skin at the end of the roller 12 and a central suction zone. Such a form called "diabolo" obviously facilitates massage and the application of the liquid and is particularly well suited to massage the lower limbs.

Avantageusement, les zones périphériques de la surface de massage du rouleau 12 sont pourvues de motifs 12c en creux ou en relief favorisant l'effet de massage. La surface d'application du rouleau 12 sera soit lisse soit éventuellement grainée ou sablée.Advantageously, the peripheral zones of the massage surface of the roller 12 are provided with recessed or raised patterns 12c promoting the massage effect. The application surface of the roller 12 will either be smooth or possibly grained or sanded.

Le bloc support 10 est monté de manière amovible sur la demi-coque inférieure 3 par simple clipsage en force dudit support dans une cavité 41 ménagée dans ladite coque inférieure 3. A cette fin, chaque patte latérale 31, 32 comporte sur sa face extérieure une languette 42 destinée à venir engager un évidement correspondant de blocage ménagé dans les parois de la cavité 41. Bien évidemment, un montage inverse peut être envisagé, de même que tout moyen équivalent de maintien en place du bloc support autonome 10 dans la cavité 41.The support block 10 is removably mounted on the lower half-shell 3 by simple force-clipping of said support in a cavity 41 formed in said lower shell 3. To this end, each lateral tab 31, 32 has on its outer face a tongue 42 intended to come into engagement with a corresponding blocking recess in the walls of the cavity 41. Obviously, reverse mounting can be envisaged, as can any equivalent means for holding the autonomous support block 10 in the cavity 41.

Le bloc support 10, et en particulier le réservoir 13, sont réalisés en matériau plastique. Avantageusement, le réservoir 13 comporte au moins une zone transparente, préférentiellement les parois frontales 13a et le fond 14 visibles de l'extérieur de l'appareil, lorsque le bloc support 10 est en place dans la cavité 41. Cette disposition permet à l'utilisateur d'observer le niveau de fluide dans le réservoir 13 à partir de la zone transparente, sans avoir à extraire le bloc support 10. Les parois frontales 13a dépassant de préférence légèrement hors de la cavité 41, permettent de visualiser rapidement le niveau de fluide. Il est également possible de visualiser le niveau de liquide en observant le dessous de l'appareil (figure 5), la voûte du fond 14 entourant en partie le rouleau 12 et étant facilement visible dans ce cas.The support block 10, and in particular the reservoir 13, are made of plastic material. Advantageously, the reservoir 13 comprises at least one transparent zone, preferably the front walls 13a and the bottom 14 visible from the outside of the device, when the support block 10 is in place in the cavity 41. This arrangement allows the user to observe the level of fluid in the reservoir 13 from the transparent zone, without having to extract the support block 10. The front walls 13a preferably projecting slightly out of the cavity 41, make it possible to quickly visualize the level of fluid . It is also possible to view the liquid level by observing the underside of the apparatus (FIG. 5), the arch of the bottom 14 partially surrounding the roller 12 and being easily visible in this case.

Le fonctionnement de l'appareil délasseur conforme à l'invention est le suivant.The operation of the relaxation device according to the invention is as follows.

Avant le début de l'opération de massage, l'utilisateur procède à l'extraction du bloc support autonome 10 en appuyant sur les pattes latérales 31, 32 ce qui a pour effet d'assurer le déblocage dudit bloc support autonome 10 par dégagement des languettes 42 hors des évidements de la cavité 41. L'utilisateur peut alors extraire le bloc support autonome 10 hors de la cavité 41 selon les flèches F1 telles que montrées à la figure 2. L'ouverture du volet 17 permet alors le libre accès par l'orifice de remplissage 16 au réservoir 13 qui peut être rempli par le liquide tel que de l'eau ou de l'eau additionnée d'alcool, destiné à être appliqué sur la peau. Une fois le remplissage terminé, le volet 17 est refermé et le bloc support autonome 10 est réintroduit dans la cavité 41. L'utilisateur peut alors mettre en route l'appareil délasseur, par exemple à l'aide d'un bouton de contact non représenté aux figures. Le moyen de séchage 20 génère alors un flux d'air de séchage permettant le début de l'opération de délassage. Lorsque l'utilisateur applique le rouleau 12 sur la zone à traiter, ce dernier simultanément à son effet de massage applique sur la zone à traiter un mince film de liquide qui est immédiatement évaporé par le flux de séchage généré par le moyen de séchage 20. Le flux de séchage est dirigé sur la zone traitée à l'aide d'orifices d'éjection non représentés aux figures. La combinaison de l'effet massant et du refroidissement superficiel de la peau réalisé par le séchage s'avère avoir une influence bénéfique sur la circulation sanguine responsable du phénomène des jambes lourdes.Before the massage operation begins, the user proceeds to extract the autonomous support block 10 by pressing on the lateral tabs 31, 32 which has the effect of ensuring the release of said autonomous support block 10 by releasing the tabs 42 outside the recesses in the cavity 41. The user can then extract the autonomous support block 10 outside the cavity 41 according to the arrows F1 as shown in FIG. 2. The opening of the flap 17 then allows free access by the filling orifice 16 to the reservoir 13 which can be filled with the liquid such as water or water with added alcohol, intended to be applied to the skin. Once the filling is complete, the flap 17 is closed and the autonomous support block 10 is reintroduced into the cavity 41. The user can then start the relaxing device, for example using a non-contact button. shown in the figures. The drying means 20 then generates a flow of drying air allowing the commencement of the relaxation operation. When the user applies the roller 12 to the area to be treated, the latter simultaneously with its massage effect applies to the area to be treated a thin film of liquid which is immediately evaporated by the drying flow generated by the drying means 20. The drying flow is directed onto the treated area using ejection orifices not shown in the figures. The combination of the massaging effect and the surface cooling of the skin achieved by drying appears to have a beneficial influence on the blood circulation responsible for the phenomenon of heavy legs.

A titre de variante tombant dans le champ de l'invention, il est envisageable d'utiliser en tant que moyen de stockage 13 tout type de matériaux susceptible d'absorber un fluide et de le restituer par capillarité et de remplacer le rouleau 12 par tout moyen équivalent susceptible de produire un effet massant comprimant localement la peau lors du passage de l'appareil.By way of a variant falling within the scope of the invention, it is conceivable to use as storage means 13 any type of material capable of absorbing a fluid and to restore it by capillary action and to replace the roller 12 by any equivalent means capable of producing a massaging effect locally compressing the skin during the passage of the device.

A la fin de l'application, l'utilisateur peut à nouveau, par pression sur les pattes latérales 31, 32, extraire le bloc support autonome 10 et procéder ensuite à son nettoyage. A cette fin, l'extraction du rouleau 12 permet non seulement son nettoyage complet, mais également d'avoir accès à des fins de nettoyage au feutre imbibeur 40 et à toutes les zones avoisinantes. Il doit également être noté que l'amovibilité complète du bloc support autonome 10 permet un remplissage particulièrement aisé en simplifiant sa manipulation.At the end of the application, the user can again, by pressing on the lateral tabs 31, 32, extract the autonomous support block 10 and then proceed to cleaning it. To this end, the extraction of the roller 12 allows not only its complete cleaning, but also to have access for cleaning purposes to the soaking felt 40 and to all the neighboring areas. It should also be noted that the complete removability of the autonomous support block 10 allows a particularly easy filling by simplifying its handling.
