PNEUMO-HYDRO MASSAGE DISTRIBUTOR RESISTANT TO CONTAMINATION Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B05B15/02 

FIELD: medicine; massage devices.

SUBSTANCE: proposed invention can be used for successive massaging starting from feet and lower parts of body to area of heart or uniformly and simultaneously along indicated surfaces. Proposed distributor contains cylinder with working medium feeder at one end, number of outlet arranged along generatrix and rings in number equal to number of outlets self-aligning along inner surface of cylinder and spring loaded relative to surface. Width of ring and width of slot exceed size of outlet hole. Rings are fitted in cylinder so that slots of adjacent rings are displaced relative to each other in angular direction and are arranged over line of single-turn spiral. Rings are installed for turning and reverse displacement along axis of cylinder under action of drive through value equal to half of step between outlets. Self-aligning spring-loaded rings provide gapless contact with cylinder surface which guarantees reliable closing of outlet holes and axial displacement of rings and their turning without wedging, even at appearance of deposits of contacting surfaces of cylinder and rings or if hard particles have gotten into gap between cylinder and ring.

EFFECT: improved lymph and blood flow.
