Definitions
- the present invention relates to a massage member, a massage device comprising such a member and a packaging and dispensing assembly provided with such a massage device.
- a preferred, but not exclusive, field of the present invention is the massage of a cutaneous surface in order to provide a muscle relaxant effect to a user.
- Another preferred field of application is to soften a skin surface before application of a cosmetic product to promote the penetration of this product through the skin layers. It can also improve this penetration on a pre-coated skin surface of a cosmetic product.
- the cutaneous surfaces massaged can for example be the arch, the legs, the buttocks, the back, the belly, the arms or the face.
- Cosmetic product means a product as defined in Council Directive 93/35 / EEC of 14 June 1993 .
- the document FR-2,664,158 discloses in particular a massage device for application to the skin equipped with at least two massage members rotatably mounted about a respective axis.
- Such massage members may comprise a cylinder of revolution from which extends a worm relief.
- the massage member does not provide an optimal massage of the cutaneous surface to be treated. Indeed, such a member does not allow to pleat or stretch said skin surface optimally. In addition, this organ does not provide vibratory and oscillatory action sufficient to properly knead the cutaneous surface.
- the document US-2004/0024336 discloses a massage device comprising a massage member provided with a roller associated with a gripping member.
- This roll has a plurality of reliefs arranged spirally around the axis of the roll. Such reliefs are arranged along an axis of elongation of the roller one behind the other, perfectly aligned.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to overcome at least one of the aforementioned disadvantages.
- An object of the present invention is in particular to provide a massage member capable of exerting a folding action and stretching of the skin surface to be treated particularly effective.
- An object of the present invention is also to provide a massage member capable of exerting a vibratory and oscillatory action of the massaged skin surface.
- An object of the present invention is also to provide a massage member having an action on the cutaneous surface differing in the direction of movement of said body.
- An object of the present invention is still to provide a massage member easy to manufacture, large scale industrialization and low cost.

- the irregularity and the summit ridge can thus extend at a radial distance that is strictly positive relative to the roller, and if appropriate relative to said helical groove. In other words, the irregularity may extend at a radial distance greater than the radial distance at which said groove extends relative to the roller.
- Said irregularity may have, along the helix, a length greater than the internal or external diameter of the roll.
- the length measured between two consecutive summit ridges may be greater than the diameter of the roll measured from its internal face, or even that measured from its outer face. This outer face then corresponds to the face from which extend said massage elements.

- FIGS. 1a, 1b and 1c represent a first embodiment of a massage member 1 according to the present invention.
- a massage member is intended to be rotatably mounted on a support 2.
- the massage member 1 comprises a roller 10 and massage elements 14.
- the roll 10 may be of cylindrical general configuration. This roller may for example form a cylinder of revolution.
- this roller can form an elliptical cylinder as shown on the figure 6 , a conical cylinder as shown on the figure 8 , a frustoconical cylinder as shown on the figure 9 or be formed of two conical cylinders for example arranged head to tail as shown on the figure 12 .
- These embodiments are not limiting, other forms of roll can be envisaged.
- the roll 10 extends along a main elongation axis X.
- This roll can be traversed internally by a channel 11 extending in the main axis of elongation of said roll.
- This channel comprises at each end a respective opening 12, 13.
- This channel may have a cross section of any appropriate configuration and in particular circular, elliptical, rectangular, triangular or other. Such a channel may have a section of constant size.
- the openings 12, 13 can open into a respective internal blind housing.
- the roller 10 may be a solid cylinder provided on either side of a respective lug.
- the massage elements 14 are configured to bear on a skin surface such as the arch, legs, back, arms or face.
- These massage members 14 comprise free ends 140 projecting relative to the roll 10 and being arranged in at least one helix around the main axis of elongation X of the roll. More specifically, these massage elements may extend radially relative to the main axis of elongation of the roller.
- said massage elements 14 are distributed in at least one turn and said helix has an irregularity with respect to the roller 10.
- turn should be understood to mean that the massage elements are arranged in a helix extending over at least one complete turn, thus ranging from 0 to 360 °.
- said massage elements extend over two or more turns.
- said massage elements extend over three and a half turns. For example, two turns have been referenced S1, S2.
- the term "irregularity" is to be understood as meaning that the helix formed by the free ends of the massage elements has at least one alteration with respect to a conventional propeller profile and in particular with respect to a circular helix profile, elliptical or conical. This irregularity may correspond to a truncated portion with respect to such a helix profile. Conversely, the irregularity could consist of one or more protruding portions with respect to this helix profile.
- said massage members comprise a plurality of truncated portions.
- each turn may comprise between 1 and 25 truncated portions and preferably between 7 and 12 truncated portions.
- truncated portions may be respectively separated from each other by apical free ends or apical top edges 140a, 140c, 140e, 140g, respectively.
- Each summit ridge can thus connect two adjacent truncated portions.
- summit ridge should be understood to mean that the helix has portions which, relative to the roller, are of greater thickness than that defined by the irregularities or truncated portions.
- these crown edges may extend relative to the roll at a height greater than that at which said irregularities or truncated portions extend.
- summit ridges can thus define portions coming first and foremost in contact with the cutaneous surface to be treated.
- the massage elements comprise free ends 140, and in particular truncated portions such as 140b, substantially flat relative to the main axis of elongation X of the roll.
- the massage elements comprise free ends 140, and in particular truncated portions such as 140b, having a convex profile surface.
- the massage elements, and in particular truncated portions such as 140b comprise free ends 140 having a concave profile surface.
- the roller may have an inner diameter Di and an outer diameter De. At least one truncated portion may have along the helix a length greater than the value of the internal diameter, or external.
- summit ridges may be at least partly inscribed in a cylindrical envelope E extending around the main elongation axis X of the roll 10.
- This envelope and this roll can be coaxial.
- they can be eccentric.
- the truncated portions may be defined as a missing portion of material of the massage elements with respect to any helix profile and in particular with respect to a circular, conical or elliptical propeller profile. This helix profile can thus pass through the summit of the summit ridges.
- the massage elements 14 may therefore have a variable thickness relative to the roller 10.
- Said massage elements may thus comprise at least two free ends 140 extending at a respective radial distance e1, e2 relative to the roller 10.
- e1 represents the distance between the roll 10 and the top edge 140c while e2 represents the distance between the roll 10 and a medial portion of the truncated portion 140b.
- e1 may be about three times greater than e2. Of course, this ratio could be lower or higher than this figure.
- the figure 4 is a graph representing the radial distance D in millimeters separating the free ends 140 of the massage elements of the roller as a function of their angular position on the turn S1 in degree.
- the profile of this curve is started from a top edge, such as the edge 140a, and ends after a 360 ° helical motion.
- top edges 140a, 140c, 140e, 140g and the truncated portions 140b, 140d, 140f can together define a free edge 143 projecting substantially at all points relative to the roller 10. Such free edge can therefore be prominent relative to the roller in a continuous manner.
- the summit ridges and the truncated portions can all have a positive radial distance.
- the massage elements 14 define a substantially sinusoidal curve. These massage elements can for example include more than three waves per turn. These massage elements may more generally comprise between one and 30 sinusoidal waves per turn.
- the sine waves recorded testify to the presence of irregularities.
- truncated portions according to the invention could extend flush with the roller 10 or even in the thickness of this roller.
- the truncated portions 140b, 140d and 140f could have at least one segment extending at a zero or negative radial distance from the roller 10.
- summit ridge or a truncated portion of a pattern may be common to a summit ridge or a truncated portion of a consecutive pattern.
- Such a pattern can be repeated along the roll. This pattern corresponds to a helix portion. It can for example be observed by viewing the massage member aside, that is to say in a direction perpendicular to the main axis of elongation X of the roller. Such patterns may extend obliquely or perpendicularly relative to the main axis of elongation X of the roll.
- these patterns all have a general triangular shape.
- these edges can be separated from each other by an angle ⁇ of about 120 °.
- the edges 140a, 140c and 140e form substantially the vertices of a triangle. Truncated portions of the same pattern can also be shifted by the same angle ⁇ .
- the truncated portions and the top edges of a pattern can be aligned with respect to the truncated portions and respective top edges of the consecutive pattern.
- the summit ridge 140a may be perfectly aligned with the summit ridge 140g.
- a first irregularity of the helix may extend facing at least a second irregularity along an axis of elongation of the roller. These two irregularities may be consecutive along said axis of elongation of the roll and be separated from one another by a groove 17, possibly helical.
- the figure 5a shows a massage member having massage elements 14, 14 'distributed along a double helix extending around the main elongation axis X of the roller 10.
- the massage elements 14 ' have a pattern identical to the pattern defined by the massage elements 14.
- the description made with reference to the massage elements 14 is therefore also applicable to the massage elements 14'.
- Identical reference numerals with a prime sign are assigned to parts of the massage elements 14 'similar to the parts of the massage elements 14.
- the patterns of the massage elements 14 ' can be alternated with the patterns of the massage elements 14 along the longitudinal axis X of the roll 10.
- the massage elements 14 'could have a different pattern from the pattern defined by the massage elements 14.
- the massage elements 14 are arranged in a first helix extending over 4 turns referenced S1, S2, S3 and S4 and the massage elements 14 'are arranged in a second helix extending over 4 turns. referenced S1 ', S2', S3 ', S4'.
- the truncated portions of a helix may be angularly offset relative to the truncated portions of the other helix relative to the main axis of elongation X of the roll.
- at least one irregularity, or truncated portion can extend facing at least one summit edge along an axis of elongation of the roller.
- said at least one irregularity and said at least one ridge can be separated from each other by a groove 17, possibly helical.
- the portions 140b and 140a ' may be angularly offset relative to each other. the other.
- Such portions may for example be shifted by an angle ⁇ of 60 °. More generally, this angle could be between 5 and 355 °, more preferably between 20 and 180 ° and even more preferably between 60 and 120 °.
- Such angular offset can be repeated all along the longitudinal axis X of the roll 10.
- summit ridges of two consecutive patterns can then also be offset with respect to each other.
- these edges are also offset relative to each other by an angle ⁇ of about 60 °.
- the massage elements 14 define a helical pitch oriented in the same direction along the length of the massage member. This no helix can be constant along the main elongation axis X of the roll 10.
- the massage elements 14, 14 ' define a respective substantially constant helical pitch, oriented in the same direction along the length of the massage member.
- the massage elements 14, 14 define a helical pitch oriented in the same direction along the length of the massage member which is variable.
- the massage elements of the same turn extend over a length of the massage member separate from the massage elements of another turn.
- the pitch of the propellers are oriented away from each other.
- the massage member thus has a helical pitch oriented to the left and a helical pitch oriented to the right.
- these helix pitches are both constant.

Un autre domaine d'application privilégié vise à assouplir une surface cutanée avant application d'un produit cosmétique afin de favoriser la pénétration de ce produit à travers les couches cutanées. Il peut également améliorer cette pénétration sur une surface cutanée pré-enduite de produit cosmétique. Les surfaces cutanées massées peuvent par exemple être la voûte plantaire, les jambes, les fesses, le dos, le ventre, les bras ou encore le visage.Another preferred field of application is to soften a skin surface before application of a cosmetic product to promote the penetration of this product through the skin layers. It can also improve this penetration on a pre-coated skin surface of a cosmetic product. The cutaneous surfaces massaged can for example be the arch, the legs, the buttocks, the back, the belly, the arms or the face.

Lesdits premier et deuxième organes de massage peuvent chacun définir un pas d'hélice, ledit pas d'hélice du premier organe de massage étant orienté de façon inversée par rapport au pas d'hélice dudit deuxième organe de massage. Lesdits axes de rotation peuvent définir entre eux un angle (γ), non nul, notamment inférieur à 180°, avantageusement inférieur à 160° et plus préférablement inférieur à 140°.The device may comprise a first massage member and a second massage member rotating about respective respective axes of rotation. Said first and second massage members may each define a helix pitch, said helix pitch of the first massage member being oriented inversely with respect to the helix pitch of said second massage member. Said axes of rotation can define between them an angle (γ), non-zero, in particular less than 180 °, advantageously less than 160 ° and more preferably less than 140 °.
Pris indépendamment ou en combinaison avec les caractéristiques techniques du dispositif de massage, la présente invention a également pour objet, selon un deuxième aspect, un organe de massage destiné à être monté sur un support et configuré pour être entraîné en rotation sur ledit support autour d'un axe de rotation, ledit organe de massage comprenant un rouleau s'étendant selon un axe d'allongement principal et des éléments de massage configurés pour venir en appui sur une surface cutanée, lesdits éléments de massage comprenant des extrémités libres faisant saillie relativement au rouleau et étant agencées selon au moins une hélice autour de l'axe d'allongement principal du rouleau, dans lequel lesdits éléments de massage sont répartis selon au moins une spire et dans lequel ladite hélice comprend une arête sommitale et une irrégularité relativement au rouleau, et dans lequel ladite irrégularité s'étend en regard de ladite arête sommitale le long de l'axe d'allongement du rouleau.Taken independently or in combination with the technical characteristics of the massage device, the subject of the present invention is also, according to a second aspect, a massage member intended to be mounted on a support and configured to be rotated on said support around an axis of rotation, said massage member comprising a roller extending along a main axis of elongation and massage elements configured to bear on a cutaneous surface, said massage elements comprising free ends protruding relative to the roller and being arranged in at least one helix around the main axis of elongation of the roller, wherein said massage members are distributed in at least one turn and wherein said helix comprises an apex edge and an irregularity with respect to the roller, and wherein said unevenness extends opposite said summit ridge along of the axis of elongation of the roll.
Plus précisément, la même spire peut comprendre une arête sommitale et une irrégularité relativement au rouleau, ladite irrégularité s'étendant en regard de ladite arête sommitale le long de l'axe d'allongement du rouleau.More precisely, the same turn may comprise a top edge and an irregularity with respect to the roll, said irregularity extending facing said summit ridge along the axis of elongation of the roll.
Ladite hélice peut comporter deux spires consécutives comprenant respectivement ou chacune une arête sommitale et une irrégularité relativement au rouleau, ladite irrégularité s'étendant en regard de ladite arête sommitale le long de l'axe d'allongement du rouleau.Said helix may comprise two consecutive turns respectively comprising or each a top edge and an irregularity with respect to the roller, said irregularity extending facing said summit edge along the axis of elongation of the roller.
L'axe d'allongement du rouleau peut être sensiblement parallèle à son axe de rotation.The axis of elongation of the roller may be substantially parallel to its axis of rotation.
Une ou plusieurs irrégularité(s) d'un axe d'allongement donné peuvent s'étendre en regard d'une ou plusieurs arête(s) sommitale(s) le long de cet axe. Autrement dit, cette ou ces irrégularité(s) et cette ou ces arête(s) sommitale(s) peuvent s'étendre selon une rangée donnée. Ces irrégularités et ces arêtes sommitales peuvent être agencées de façon alternée le long de l'axe d'allongement sur au moins une partie de la longueur du rouleau, voire sur toute la longueur du rouleau.One or more irregularities of a given axis of elongation may extend opposite one or more ridge (s) along the axis. In other words, this or these irregularity (s) and this or these ridge (s) summit (s) can extend in a given row. These irregularities and summit ridges can be arranged alternately along the axis lengthening over at least a portion of the length of the roll, even over the entire length of the roll.
Lesdites extrémités libres peuvent définir un bord libre faisant saillie sensiblement en tout point relativement au rouleau, et le cas échéant relativement à une rainure hélicoïdale prévue, autour de l'axe d'allongement principal du rouleau, entre lesdits éléments de massage. L'irrégularité et l'arête sommitale peuvent ainsi s'étendre à une distance radiale strictement positive relativement au rouleau, et le cas échéant relativement à ladite rainure hélicoïdale. Dit encore autrement, l'irrégularité peut s'étendre à une distance radiale supérieure à la distance radiale à laquelle s'étend ladite rainure relativement au rouleau.Said free ends may define a free edge protruding substantially at any point relative to the roller, and where appropriate relative to a helical groove provided, around the main axis of elongation of the roller, between said massage elements. The irregularity and the summit ridge can thus extend at a radial distance that is strictly positive relative to the roller, and if appropriate relative to said helical groove. In other words, the irregularity may extend at a radial distance greater than the radial distance at which said groove extends relative to the roller.
Ladite irrégularité peut présenter, le long de l'hélice, une longueur supérieure au diamètre interne ou externe du rouleau. La longueur mesurée entre deux arêtes sommitales consécutives peut être supérieure au diamètre du rouleau mesuré à partir de sa face interne, voire, à celui mesuré à partir de sa face externe. Cette face externe correspond alors à la face à partir de laquelle s'étendent lesdits éléments de massage.Said irregularity may have, along the helix, a length greater than the internal or external diameter of the roll. The length measured between two consecutive summit ridges may be greater than the diameter of the roll measured from its internal face, or even that measured from its outer face. This outer face then corresponds to the face from which extend said massage elements.
Ladite hélice, et plus précisément ladite irrégularité, peut comporter au moins une portion tronquée.Said helix, and more precisely said irregularity, may comprise at least one truncated portion.
Ledit organe peut comprendre des irrégularités, ou portions tronquées, angulairement décalées les unes par rapport aux autres le long de l'axe d'allongement principal du rouleau. Une même spire, ou deux spires consécutives, peu(ven)t comporter des portions tronquées angulairement décalées le long de l'axe d'allongement principal du rouleau. Lesdites portions tronquées peuvent être décalées selon un angle compris entre 5 et 355°, plus préférablement entre 20 et 180° et encore plus préférablement entre 60 et 120°.Said member may comprise irregularities, or truncated portions, angularly offset relative to each other along the main elongation axis of the roll. The same turn, or two consecutive turns, may comprise truncated portions angularly offset along the main elongation axis of the roller. Said truncated portions may be shifted at an angle of between 5 and 355 °, more preferably between 20 and 180 ° and even more preferably between 60 and 120 °.
Chaque spire peut comprendre entre 2 et 25 portions tronquées et de préférence entre 7 et 12 portions tronquées.Each turn may comprise between 2 and 25 truncated portions and preferably between 7 and 12 truncated portions.
Lesdits éléments de massage peuvent présenter une épaisseur variable relativement au rouleau. En particulier, ladite irrégularité peut présenter une épaisseur variable, le cas échéant strictement positive, relativement au rouleau.Said massage elements may have a variable thickness relative to the roller. In particular, said irregularity may have a variable thickness, if necessary strictly positive, relative to the roller.
Lesdits éléments de massage peuvent comprendre deux portions tronquées s'étendant à une distance radiale respective distincte relativement au rouleau.Said massage members may comprise two truncated portions extending at a respective radial distance distinct from the roller.
Lesdits éléments de massage peuvent comprendre au moins un plan de coupe. Ce plan de coupe peut être parallèle ou oblique à l'axe d'allongement principal du rouleau.Said massage elements may comprise at least one cutting plane. This cutting plane may be parallel or oblique to the main axis of elongation of the roller.
Lesdits éléments de massage peuvent comprendre un nombre de spires supérieur ou égal à 2.Said massage elements may comprise a number of turns greater than or equal to 2.
Lesdits éléments de massage peuvent définir entre eux une rainure autour de l'axe d'allongement principal du rouleau, le cas échéant hélicoïdale, éventuellement continue. Cette rainure peut être ménagée dans l'épaisseur du rouleau. L'arête sommitale et l'irrégularité peuvent définir un bord libre faisant saillie le cas échéant en tout point relativement au rouleau. Ce bord libre peut également éventuellement faire saillie relativement à ladite rainure hélicoïdale.Said massage elements may define between them a groove around the main axis of elongation of the roll, optionally helical, possibly continuous. This groove may be formed in the thickness of the roll. The summit ridge and the irregularity may define a free edge projecting where appropriate in all respects relative to the roller. This free edge may also possibly project relative to said helical groove.
Ledit rouleau peut présenter une configuration générale cylindrique choisie parmi un cylindre de révolution, un cylindre elliptique, un cône ou un tronc de cône.The roller may have a generally cylindrical configuration selected from a cylinder of revolution, an elliptical cylinder, a cone or a truncated cone.
Lesdits éléments de massage peuvent présenter une section longitudinale relativement à l'axe longitudinal du rouleau de forme trapézoïdale.Said massage elements may have a longitudinal section relative to the longitudinal axis of the trapezoidal-shaped roller.
Ces éléments de massage peuvent présenter une section transversale réalisée parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal du rouleau en forme de parallélogramme.These massage elements may have a cross section made parallel to the longitudinal axis of the parallelogram-shaped roller.
Lesdits éléments de massage peuvent faire saillie de façon discrète relativement au rouleau. De tels éléments de massage peuvent comprendre une pluralité de picots de géométrie variable, ayant soit une forme, une longueur ou une largeur variable. Ces picots peuvent être espacés les uns des autres selon des intervalles constants ou variables.Said massage elements can protrude discretely relative to the roller. Such massage elements may include a plurality of pins of variable geometry, having either a shape, a length or a variable width. These pins may be spaced from each other at constant or variable intervals.
L'organe de massage peut par ailleurs comprendre un évidement borgne ou traversant ménagé dans au travers desdits éléments de massage.The massage member may further comprise a blind recess or through formed in through said massage elements.
Les extrémités libres des éléments de massage peuvent présenter une surface de profil plan, convexe ou concave.The free ends of the massage elements may have a planar, convex or concave profile surface.
Lesdits éléments de massage peuvent s'étendre de façon perpendiculaire ou oblique relativement à l'axe d'allongement principal du rouleau.Said massage elements may extend perpendicularly or obliquely relative to the main axis of elongation of the roller.
Lesdits éléments de massage peuvent définir un pas d'hélice sensiblement constant. En variante, ils peuvent définir un pas d'hélice variable.Said massage elements can define a substantially constant helical pitch. Alternatively, they can define a variable helix pitch.
Ce pas d'hélice peut être orienté dans un même sens sur la longueur du rouleau. En variante, ce pas d'hélice peut être orienté selon au moins deux sens distincts sur la longueur du rouleau.This helical pitch can be oriented in the same direction along the length of the roll. Alternatively, this helix pitch can be oriented in at least two distinct directions along the length of the roller.
Les éléments de massage peuvent être agencés en double hélice.The massage elements can be arranged in double helix.
Les extrémités libres des éléments de massage peuvent être inscrites au moins en partie dans une enveloppe cylindrique s'étendant autour de l'axe d'allongement principal du rouleau.

Les
L'organe de massage 1 comporte un rouleau 10 et des éléments de massage 14.The
Le rouleau 10 peut être de configuration générale cylindrique. Ce rouleau peut par exemple former un cylindre de révolution.The
En variantes ce rouleau peut former un cylindre elliptique comme représenté sur la
Le rouleau 10 s'étend selon un axe d'allongement principal X. Ce rouleau peut être traversé intérieurement par un canal 11 s'étendant dans l'axe d'allongement principal dudit rouleau. Ce canal comporte à chaque extrémité une ouverture respective 12, 13. Ce canal peut présenter une section transversale de toute configuration appropriée et notamment circulaire, elliptique, rectangulaire, triangulaire ou autre. Un tel canal peut présenter une section de dimension constante.The
En variante, les ouvertures 12, 13 peuvent déboucher dans un logement interne borgne respectif. Selon une autre variante, le rouleau 10 peut être un cylindre plein pourvu de part et d'autre d'un ergot respectif.Alternatively, the
Les éléments de massage 14 sont configurés pour venir en appui sur une surface cutanée telle que la voûte plantaire, les jambes, le dos, les bras ou encore le visage.The
Ces éléments de massage 14 comprennent des extrémités libres 140 faisant saillie relativement au rouleau 10 et étant agencés selon au moins une hélice autour de l'axe d'allongement principal X du rouleau. Plus précisément, ces éléments de massage peuvent s'étendre radialement par rapport à l'axe d'allongement principal du rouleau.These
Selon l'invention, lesdits éléments de massage 14 sont répartis selon au moins une spire et ladite hélice présente une irrégularité relativement au rouleau 10.According to the invention, said
Le terme « spire » doit être entendu comme signifiant que les éléments de massage sont agencés en une hélice s'étendant sur au moins un tour complet, allant ainsi de 0 à 360°. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, lesdits éléments de massage s'étendent sur deux spires ou plus. Sur la
Le terme « irrégularité » doit être entendu comme signifiant que l'hélice formée par les extrémités libres des éléments de massage présente au moins une altération par rapport à un profil d'hélice conventionnel et en particulier par rapport à un profil d'hélice circulaire, elliptique ou conique. Cette irrégularité peut correspondre à une portion tronquée par rapport à un tel profil d'hélice. Inversement, l'irrégularité pourrait consister en une ou plusieurs portions proéminentes par rapport à ce profil d'hélice.The term "irregularity" is to be understood as meaning that the helix formed by the free ends of the massage elements has at least one alteration with respect to a conventional propeller profile and in particular with respect to a circular helix profile, elliptical or conical. This irregularity may correspond to a truncated portion with respect to such a helix profile. Conversely, the irregularity could consist of one or more protruding portions with respect to this helix profile.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur les
Pour des raisons de clarté, les portions tronquées de la spire S1, ont été désignées par des références numériques. Cette spire comporte dans cet exemple des portions tronquées 140b, 140d, 140f. Plus généralement, chaque spire peut comprendre entre 1 et 25 portions tronquées et de préférence entre 7 et 12 portions tronquées.For the sake of clarity, the truncated portions of the turn S1 have been designated by numerical references. This turn includes in this example truncated
Ces portions tronquées peuvent être respectivement séparées les unes des autres par des extrémités libres sommitales ou arêtes sommitales respectives 140a, 140c, 140e, 140g. Chaque arête sommitale peut ainsi relier deux portions tronquées adjacentes.These truncated portions may be respectively separated from each other by apical free ends or apical
Le terme « arête sommitale » doit être entendu comme signifiant que l'hélice comporte des portions qui, relativement au rouleau, sont d'épaisseur supérieure à celle définie par les irrégularités ou portions tronquées. Autrement dit, ces arêtes sommitales peuvent s'étendre relativement au rouleau à une hauteur supérieure à celle à laquelle s'étendent lesdites irrégularités ou portions tronquées. Ces arêtes sommitales peuvent ainsi définir des portions venant en tout premier lieu au contact de la surface cutanée à traiter.The term "summit ridge" should be understood to mean that the helix has portions which, relative to the roller, are of greater thickness than that defined by the irregularities or truncated portions. In other words, these crown edges may extend relative to the roll at a height greater than that at which said irregularities or truncated portions extend. These summit ridges can thus define portions coming first and foremost in contact with the cutaneous surface to be treated.

On peut également observer sur cette
Comme représenté sur la
Les portions tronquées peuvent être définies comme une portion manquante de matière des éléments de massage par rapport à un profil d'hélice quelconque et notamment par rapport à un profil d'hélice circulaire, conique ou elliptique. Ce profil d'hélice peut ainsi passer par le sommet des arêtes sommitales.The truncated portions may be defined as a missing portion of material of the massage elements with respect to any helix profile and in particular with respect to a circular, conical or elliptical propeller profile. This helix profile can thus pass through the summit of the summit ridges.
Les éléments de massage 14 peuvent donc présenter une épaisseur variable relativement au rouleau 10. Lesdits éléments de massage peuvent ainsi comprendre au moins deux extrémités libres 140 s'étendant à une distance radiale respective distincte e1, e2 relativement au rouleau 10. Sur la
La
Cette figure permet tout d'abord de clairement observer que les arêtes sommitales 140a, 140c, 140e, 140g et les portions tronquées 140b, 140d, 140f peuvent définir ensemble un bord libre 143 faisant saillie sensiblement en tout point relativement au rouleau 10. Un tel bord libre peut donc être proéminent relativement au rouleau de façon continue. Ainsi, les arêtes sommitales et les portions tronquées peuvent toutes présenter une distance radiale positive.This figure first makes it possible to clearly observe that the
Dans cet exemple, les éléments de massage 14 définissent une courbe sensiblement sinusoïdale. Ces éléments de massage peuvent par exemple comprendre plus de trois ondes par spire. Ces éléments de massage peuvent plus généralement comprendre entre une et 30 ondes sinusoïdales par spire. Lorsque l'enveloppe E et le rouleau 10 sont coaxiaux, les ondes sinusoïdales enregistrées témoignent de la présence d'irrégularités.In this example, the
En effet, par exemple, dans le cas d'un rouleau en forme de cylindre de révolution qui comprend des éléments de massage avec des extrémités libres réparties selon un profil d'hélice parfaitement circulaire comme c'est le cas dans le document
Par ailleurs, il est à noter que certaines portions tronquées selon l'invention pourraient s'étendre à affleurement du rouleau 10 voire dans l'épaisseur de ce rouleau. Dans ce cas, les portions tronquées 140b, 140d et 140f pourraient présenter au moins un segment s'étendant à une distance radiale nulle ou négative par rapport au rouleau 10.Furthermore, it should be noted that certain truncated portions according to the invention could extend flush with the
Il est à noter qu'une arête sommitale ou une portion tronquée d'un motif peut être commune à une arête sommitale ou une portion tronquée d'un motif consécutif.It should be noted that a summit ridge or a truncated portion of a pattern may be common to a summit ridge or a truncated portion of a consecutive pattern.
Afin de mieux définir les formes des éléments de massage, nous parlerons dans la suite de la description de « motif ». Un tel motif peut se répéter le long du rouleau. Ce motif correspond à une portion d'hélice. Il peut par exemple être observé en visualisant l'organe de massage de côté, c'est-à-dire selon une direction perpendiculaire à l'axe d'allongement principal X du rouleau. De tels motifs peuvent s'étendre de façon oblique ou perpendiculaire relativement à l'axe d'allongement principal X du rouleau.In order to better define the shapes of massage elements, we will discuss in the following description of "motif". Such a pattern can be repeated along the roll. This pattern corresponds to a helix portion. It can for example be observed by viewing the massage member aside, that is to say in a direction perpendicular to the main axis of elongation X of the roller. Such patterns may extend obliquely or perpendicularly relative to the main axis of elongation X of the roll.
Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur la
Par ailleurs on peut observer sur ces figures que les portions tronquées et les arêtes sommitales d'un motif peuvent être alignés par rapport aux portions tronquées et aux arêtes sommitales respectives du motif consécutif. Par exemple, l'arête sommitale 140a peut être parfaitement alignée avec l'arête sommitale 140g. Autrement dit, une première irrégularité de l'hélice peut s'étendre en regard d'au moins une deuxième irrégularité le long d'un axe d'allongement du rouleau. Ces deux irrégularités peuvent être consécutives le long dudit axe d'allongement du rouleau et être séparées l'une de l'autre par une rainure 17, éventuellement hélicoïdale.Moreover, it can be observed in these figures that the truncated portions and the top edges of a pattern can be aligned with respect to the truncated portions and respective top edges of the consecutive pattern. For example, the

Dans cet exemple, les éléments de massage 14' présentent un motif identique au motif défini par les éléments de massage 14. La description faite en en référence aux éléments de massage 14 est donc également applicable aux éléments de massage 14'.

Dans un tel mode de réalisation, les motifs des éléments de massage 14' peuvent être alternés avec les motifs des éléments de massage 14 le long de l'axe longitudinal X du rouleau 10.In such an embodiment, the patterns of the massage elements 14 'can be alternated with the patterns of the

Sur cette figure, on peut observer que les portions tronquées d'une hélice peuvent être angulairement décalées par rapport aux portions tronquées de l'autre hélice relativement à l'axe d'allongement principal X du rouleau. Ainsi, au moins une irrégularité, ou portion tronquée, peut s'étendre en regard d'au moins une arête sommitale le long d'un axe d'allongement du rouleau. Le long de cet axe, ladite au moins une irrégularité et ladite au moins une arête sommitale peuvent être séparées l'une de l'autre par une rainure 17, éventuellement hélicoïdale.In this figure, it can be observed that the truncated portions of a helix may be angularly offset relative to the truncated portions of the other helix relative to the main axis of elongation X of the roll. Thus, at least one irregularity, or truncated portion, can extend facing at least one summit edge along an axis of elongation of the roller. Along this axis, said at least one irregularity and said at least one ridge can be separated from each other by a
En considérant une portion tronquée d'un motif et une portion tronquée d'un motif consécutif le long de l'axe longitudinal du rouleau 10, telles que les portions 140b et 140a', ces dernières peuvent être angulairement décalées l'une par rapport à l'autre. De telles portions peuvent par exemple être décalées d'un angle β de 60°. Plus généralement, cet angle pourrait être compris entre 5 et 355°, plus préférablement entre 20 et 180° et encore plus préférablement entre 60 et 120°. Un tel décalage angulaire peut être répété tout au long de l'axe longitudinal X du rouleau 10.Considering a truncated portion of a pattern and a truncated portion of a pattern following along the longitudinal axis of the
De même, les arêtes sommitales de deux motifs consécutifs, telles que les arêtes 140a et 140b', peuvent alors être également décalées l'une par rapport à l'autre. Dans cet exemple, ces arêtes sont également décalées l'une par rapport à l'autre d'un angle β d'environ 60°.Likewise, the summit ridges of two consecutive patterns, such as the
Il est à noter qu'un tel décalage angulaire des portions tronquées pourrait également être obtenu avec des éléments de massage agencés en une simple hélice.It should be noted that such an angular offset of the truncated portions could also be obtained with massage elements arranged in a single helix.

Par ailleurs on peut observer que les éléments de massage 14, 14' peuvent définir entre eux une rainure 17 continue, éventuellement hélicoïdale. Cette rainure peut être ménagée dans l'épaisseur du rouleau 10. Cette rainure peut par exemple s'étendre une distance radiale nulle ou négative relativement au rouleau 10.

In particular, this plane can be parallel to the rest plane of the device.
En variante, ces axes de rotation peuvent tous deux définir avec ledit plan de repos du dispositif un angle respectif, par exemple compris entre 5 et 45°. Une telle caractéristique permet d'aisément varier la force de massage appliquée sur une surface corporelle donnée.Alternatively, these axes of rotation can both define with said rest plane of the device a respective angle, for example between 5 and 45 °.

Ces plans R1, R2, R3 peuvent couper l'axe Q et ce de façon orthogonale. Les plans R1, R2 et R3 peuvent être équidistants les uns par rapport aux autres. Ainsi, les différentes paires d'organes de massage peuvent avoir une orientation alternée les uns par rapport aux autres.The arrangement A may be symmetrical to the arrangement B with respect to a plane R1. The arrangement B may be symmetrical to the arrangement C with respect to a plane R2. The arrangement C may be symmetrical to the arrangement D with respect to a plane R3. The planes R1, R2, R3 can be parallel to each other. These planes R1, R2, R3 can cut the Q axis orthogonally. The planes R1, R2 and R3 can be equidistant from each other. Thus, the different pairs of massage members may have an alternating orientation with respect to each other.
Il est possible de réaliser un dispositif de massage contenant plus de quatre paires d'organes de massage.

These organs thus associated can then form a sort of mesh repeating in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the device. The massage action of the massage organs of such a device is then substantially identical that the movement of the device is in a longitudinal direction or in a transverse direction.
