PNEUMATIC MASSAGING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, in particular, massaging equipment.

SUBSTANCE: pneumatic massaging apparatus has vacuumizing unit including cylinder open at both ends and involving piston equipped with rod and arranged inside cylinder for vertical reciprocating therein. Apparatus has n vacuumizing units, where n=1,2,3…, base, shaft with rotating handle, sleeve, bearing arranged in casing, bearing casing stop, guide for displacement of bearing casing, and levers, with number of levers being equal to number of vacuumizing units. Shaft is fixed for rotation in vertical position in base. Sleeve mounted in bearing is rigidly fixed at an angle of 25-30 deg on shaft. Bearing casing is rigidly connected with stop coupled to guide for vertical displacement therewith. Guide is equipped with vertical slot including loosely arranged stop. Guide is rigidly fixed in vertical position in base. Bearing casing is rigidly fixed in radial direction with levers movably joined to related rods. Each cylinder is rigidly fixed in vertical position in base so as to define air gap between base wall and cylinder wall. Air inlet openings are formed in cylinder vertical wall. Plank is inserted between base wall and cylinder outer wall opposite inlet openings for reciprocating in vertical plane.

EFFECT: increased efficiency, fast and painless massaging of vast body surface with resulting cups effect.
