A l'origine, le massage, dont le nom vient du mot arabe "mass" qui signifie palper, consistait à presser, pétrir différentes parties du corps avec les Originally, massage, whose name comes from the Arabic word "mass" which means to palpate, consisted of pressing, kneading different parts of the body with
mains pour donner de la souplesse aux muscles. hands to give flexibility to the muscles.
Aujourd'hui, le massage est de plus en plus fréquemment effectué à l'aide d'appareils et s'exerce dans un grand nombre de domaines tels que l'esthétique plastique ou réparatrice, la traumatologie, la rhumatologie, la phlébologie, la kinésithérapie du sport, le traitement des cicatrices et brûlures, les troubles circulatoires, Today, massage is more and more frequently performed using devices and is practiced in a large number of fields such as plastic or restorative aesthetics, trauma, rheumatology, phlebology, physiotherapy sports, treatment of scars and burns, circulatory disorders,
drainage lymphatique ou le raffermissement des tissus. lymphatic drainage or firming of tissues.
Il existe différents types de massages en fonction des traitements à réaliser. La forme concernée par le dispositif selon l'invention est connue sous le nom de "massage palpé roulé". Elle est utilisée notamment dans le cas du traitements des zones cutanées, cellulitiques et dermalgiques par exemple, et s'effectue en pratiquant sur le patient une action continue au cours de laquelle le masseur exerce simultanément, non seulement un pincement localisé de manière à créer un pli cutané, mais également There are different types of massages depending on the treatments to be performed. The form concerned by the device according to the invention is known by the name of "rolled palpated massage". It is used in particular in the case of treatments of the cutaneous, cellulitic and dermalgic zones for example, and is carried out by practicing on the patient a continuous action during which the masseur exerts simultaneously, not only a localized pinching so as to create a skin fold, but also
un déplacement progressif de la zone pincée. a progressive displacement of the pinched area.
Le "massage palpé roulé" est actuellement réalisé le plus souvent à l'aide d'appareils comportant une tête mobile destinée à être déplacée sur la peau et reliée par un conduit souple à un système d'aspiration de l'air apte à créer une dépression au niveau de l'épiderme "Rolled palpated massage" is currently most often performed using devices comprising a movable head intended to be moved over the skin and connected by a flexible conduit to an air suction system capable of creating a depression in the epidermis
lorsque la tête est appliquée contre le corps du patient. when the head is pressed against the patient's body.
Il existe des têtes avec rouleaux cylindriques parallèles mobiles en rotation et éventuellement en translation, des têtes avec des billes en périphérie et There are heads with parallel cylindrical rollers movable in rotation and possibly in translation, heads with balls on the periphery and
enfin, des têtes sans éléments mobiles formant "cloches". finally, heads without moving elements forming "bells".
Le premier type permet d'obtenir un pli cutané bien marqué, mais comporte des pièces en mouvement qui rendent le nettoyage difficile et obligent à recouvrir le patient d'un film protecteur (justaucorps, collant), afin The first type makes it possible to obtain a well-marked skin fold, but comprises moving parts which make cleaning difficult and oblige to cover the patient with a protective film (leotard, tights), in order

- Pli cutané réel.- Real skin fold.
En outre, la tête provoque un décollement préalable de la peau qui, non seulement augmente l'hypérémie entraînant une meilleure oxygénation favorisant l'élimination des déchets, mais de surcroît assouplit le tissus conjonctif avant formation du pli cutané qui, de ce fait, est plus important et donc plus In addition, the head causes a detachment of the skin which not only increases hyperemia leading to better oxygenation promoting the elimination of waste, but also softens the connective tissue before formation of the skin fold, which is therefore more important and therefore more
défibrosant et drainant.defibrosis and draining.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est constitué d'une tête mobile comportant une embase de contact destinée à être appliquée sur la peau surmontée d'une chambre de dépression reliée par un conduit souple à un système d'aspiration, l'embase présentant une face inférieure concave formant un chambre de soulèvement et comportant une buse d'aspiration de forme allongée la traversant verticalement en faisant communiquer la chambre de dépression et la surface de la peau de façon à créer un The device according to the invention consists of a movable head comprising a contact base intended to be applied to the skin surmounted by a vacuum chamber connected by a flexible conduit to a suction system, the base having a face lower concave forming a lifting chamber and comprising an elongated suction nozzle passing through it vertically, communicating the vacuum chamber and the surface of the skin so as to create a
pli cutané qui se déplace avec la tête. skin fold that moves with the head.
Sur les dessins schématiques annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs de formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention: la figure 1 est une coupe axiale verticale de la tête de massage, la figure 2 est une coupe horizontale selon les flèches F1 de la figure 1 et les figures 3 à 6 sont des coupes axiales In the appended schematic drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples of embodiments of the subject of the invention: FIG. 1 is a vertical axial section of the massage head, FIG. 2 is a horizontal section along the lines arrows F1 in Figure 1 and Figures 3 to 6 are axial sections
de diverses variantes d'exécution de l'embase de contact. various variants of the contact base.
Le dispositif, figures 1 à 6, est constitué d'une tête de massage formée d'un boîtier 1 actionnable manuellement pour être déplacé contre la surface à traiter, et constitué de deux éléments superposés, une chambre de dépression 2 à la partie supérieure, et une embase 3 percée d'une buse d'aspiration 4 et destinée à The device, FIGS. 1 to 6, consists of a massage head formed by a housing 1 which can be actuated manually to be moved against the surface to be treated, and consists of two superimposed elements, a vacuum chamber 2 at the top, and a base 3 pierced with a suction nozzle 4 and intended for
être appliquée sur la peau.be applied to the skin.
La chambre de dépression 2 se présente sous la forme d'une "cloche" constituant une enceinte ouverte vers le bas et comportant un raccord 5 permettant de l'accoupler par l'intermédiaire d'un tube flexible 6 à un système d'aspiration destiné à créer une dépression à l'intérieur de la chambre de dépression. La paroi supérieure de cette dernière comportera avantageusement un orifice 7 communiquant avec l'extérieur et disposé de manière à pouvoir être aisément obturé par le doigt du praticien pour lui permettre ainsi de contrôler la The vacuum chamber 2 is in the form of a "bell" constituting an enclosure open downwards and comprising a connector 5 making it possible to couple it via a flexible tube 6 to a suction system intended to create a vacuum inside the vacuum chamber. The upper wall of the latter will advantageously include an orifice 7 communicating with the outside and arranged so as to be able to be easily closed by the practitioner's finger so as to allow him to control the
dépression dans la tête durant son utilisation. depression in the head during use.
L'embase de contact 3 comporte une face inférieure concave constituant une chambre de soulèvement 8 de la peau entourée par un bourrelet 9 périphérique déterminé pour glisser facilement sur la peau tout en maintenant une bonne étanchéité. L'embase sera de préférence montée de façon amovible sur la chambre de dépression 2 par tout moyen approprié assurant l'étanchéité entre les deux éléments. Cette disposition facilite le nettoyage de l'ensemble et permet de prévoir plusieurs embases 3 interchangeables se montant sur la The contact base 3 has a concave underside constituting a lifting chamber 8 for the skin surrounded by a peripheral bead 9 determined to slide easily over the skin while maintaining good sealing. The base will preferably be removably mounted on the vacuum chamber 2 by any suitable means ensuring the seal between the two elements. This arrangement facilitates cleaning of the assembly and makes it possible to provide several interchangeable bases 3 mounted on the
même chambre de dépression 2.same vacuum chamber 2.
La buse d'aspiration 4, qui traverse verticalement l'embase 3 en mettant en communication la chambre de dépression 2 et la chambre de soulèvement 8, présente une forme allongée plus large au centre qu'aux extrémités et est disposée transversalement à la direction de déplacement de la tête 1. Les bords inférieurs de la buse sont arrondis de façon à former à l'avant, dans le sens du déplacement, une lèvre d'enroulement 10 et à l'arrière une lèvre de déroulement 11. Le pli cutané s'engouffre entre ces lèvres, d'autant plus, que l'écartement de ces deux lèvres est plus important au centre de la buse, à l'endroit o le pli est le plus épais. La face interne supérieure de la chambre de soulèvement 8 peut être concave (figure 1), plane (figure 3) ou convexe (figure 4), ou encore présenter une forme asymétrique, par exemple de manière à ce que la lèvre de déroulement 11 descende au même niveau que le bourrelet périphérique 9 (figure 5), ou de manière à avoir une forme dite "rabot" avec un passage sensiblement horizontal de la buse d'aspiration 4, la lèvre de déroulement 11 se trouvant au-dessous de la lèvre d'enroulement 10 (figure 6). La section horizontale du boîtier 1 et de l'embase 3 aura de préférence une forme circulaire afin de faciliter les déplacements, mais pourra être ovale, carrée ou rectangulaire. L'embase de contact 3 est fabriquée dans un matériau à faible coefficient de frottement glissant bien sur la peau, et les deux éléments constitutifs de la tête seront avantageusement réalisés en matériau transparent de The suction nozzle 4, which passes vertically through the base 3 by communicating the vacuum chamber 2 and the lifting chamber 8, has an elongated shape wider at the center than at the ends and is arranged transversely to the direction of displacement of the head 1. The lower edges of the nozzle are rounded so as to form in the front, in the direction of movement, a winding lip 10 and at the rear a unwinding lip 11. The skin fold s 'engulfs between these lips, especially since the spacing of these two lips is greater in the center of the nozzle, at the place where the fold is the thickest. The upper internal face of the lifting chamber 8 can be concave (Figure 1), flat (Figure 3) or convex (Figure 4), or have an asymmetrical shape, for example so that the unwinding lip 11 descends at the same level as the peripheral bead 9 (FIG. 5), or so as to have a so-called "plane" shape with a substantially horizontal passage of the suction nozzle 4, the unwinding lip 11 being located below the lip winding 10 (Figure 6). The horizontal section of the housing 1 and of the base 3 will preferably have a circular shape in order to facilitate movement, but may be oval, square or rectangular. The contact base 3 is made of a material with a low coefficient of friction sliding well on the skin, and the two constituent elements of the head are advantageously made of transparent material of
façon à permettre un contrôle visuel du travail. so as to allow visual inspection of the work.
Le positionnement des divers éléments constitutifs donne à l'objet de l'invention un maximum d'effets utiles qui n'avaient pas été, à ce jour, obtenus The positioning of the various constituent elements gives the object of the invention a maximum of useful effects which had not, to date, been obtained.
