MASSEUR Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: intensive massage of body having complex configuration. SUBSTANCE: masseur has working head and rod. Working head is formed as spherical segment with outer curvature radius R selected from the ratio of 66 ≥ R ≥ 68 (mm) and height h selected from ratio of 11.3 ≥ h ≥ 13.6R. Rod is formed as circular cylinder with radius R(1), whose one end is conjugated with base of spherical segment at location adjacent to outer radius R(2) of base, which is equal to 1.9 R(1) and other wedge-shaped end is conjugated with its side surface to rod to form spade-shaped portion with base having radius equal to 2R(1) and semicircular apex with radius R(3) equal to R(2). Angle of wedge-shaped end is 20 deg. Apparatus provides massaging with regulated intensity to enhance stimulation of skin sulcus and related inner organs and tissues for a depth of up to 0.5-3.0 cm. EFFECT: wider range of massaging actions, increased efficiency by regulated intensity of massage and enhanced reliability in operation. 3 dwg
