Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for stimulating the sleep and / or relaxation behavior by means of a therapeutic vibration device, which allows the massaging and relaxing of the human body in a horizontal position on a bed or on a similar surface.
  • a therapeutic vibration device which allows the massaging and relaxing of the human body in a horizontal position on a bed or on a similar surface.
  • an up-and-down, simultaneously rotating and massaging movement is performed on adjacent parts of the body, which is performed with a regulatable frequency, in harmony with a self-selected meditation music.
  • the opposite oscillatory movements are achieved by means of an electric motor and an associated band and form the basis for a proper relaxation and a restful sleep due to their harmonizing effect.
  • the body parts move rhythmically and harmoniously.
  • the internal organs are also moved and brought to life. This is how, in a comfortable way, blockages, tension and stress dissolve.
  • Accompanied by equally timed meditation music the area of thought and feeling as well as the physical body are calmed and harmonized,
  • Massagers with a massage band are known from public prior use. They usually have the goal of strengthening the muscles and the removal of fatty tissue, but not relaxing to fall asleep. These known massage devices have several disadvantages in this regard. A massage is only possible in a standing or sitting position. This is exhausting, especially for people with standing and sitting complaints or injuries. Since certain muscles or muscle groups are strained while standing and sitting, they can not be massaged in the relaxed state by the massage band. Due to the position of the person, because of the high vibration frequency and because of the caused noise, the possibility of the correct relaxation and falling asleep is not given.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method and a device that help the pain-stricken or sleep-seeking people without medical help, solely by external action.
  • the invention solves this object by a method with a therapeutic oscillating device which acts on a recumbent person in an ordinary bed or on a regular sofa by means of meditation music.
  • the frame of the device is kept very simple and the foot plate can be inserted under a normal bed or a normal sofa.
  • the up and down, simultaneously rotating movements of the band are slow, quiet and synchronized with soft music.
  • the band can be easily inserted under the body and hung on the oscillating shaft.
  • the oscillating shaft has at least four, offset by 180 °, eccentric, and thus generates together with the band a propagating sinusoidal wave in the body.
  • the band When the band is placed around the legs and around the arms, a comfortable and non-strenuous running can be simulated. The sounds are reduced to the bare minimum, so you can tune in with gentle meditation music optimally for a deep, restful sleep.
  • the machine does not disturb other persons (eg the partner in the bedroom, or the neighboring patient in the hospital, or the guests in the relaxation room of a wellness hotel).
  • the rhythmic moving up and down of the body part by the band sets the body in vibration. As a result, the metabolism is activated, the lymphatic drainage promoted and the organs stimulated. A noticeable vitalizing effect and relaxation effect is the result.
  • the device is designed so that each part of the body, regardless of the size of the person, can be set in finely tuned vibrations, starting from the feet for each part, extending all the way to the head.
  • you can thus perform a full body massage, which stimulates blood circulation and circulation, strengthens the neck and back muscles through targeted stimulation, releases tension and blockages and stimulates both the flow of energy and the circulation.
  • you can move and massage your legs, abdomen, buttocks, arms and upper body, neck evenly and rhythmically, in a variety of comfortable positions (lying on your stomach, on your back, or sideways).
  • This method is an absolutely stress-free rhythmic oscillation of the body, which is also suitable for patients with injured body parts that can not be charged.
  • the vibration frequency of the band is adjustable, can be synchronized with the rhythm of a selected music and should be changed by the user until it is perceived as particularly pleasant.
  • the vibration band (1) is caused to oscillate by a drive unit (2).
  • This drive unit is preferably arranged in the upper region of a support tube (4) leading out of a base plate (3) (possibly with castors with total fastener).
  • the tube must be able to be changed in its position (length and / or angle position) in order to adapt the effective range of the vibration band to the horizontal user.
  • the possible vertical change in length is indicated by the vertical arrow (5).
  • a telescoping support tube (6) is inserted, the vertical position to each other by a rotatable locking device (7) can be moved. This can be achieved by means of a bearing with the support tube (4) fixed gear, which engages in a with the support tube (6) festures rack (8).
  • the drive motor (2) which may be of a known type (eg electric motor, direct current 24 V, 100 VA, max 1500 revolutions / minute) drives a toothed belt (11) via a toothed belt wheel, which moves a larger toothed belt wheel, which is firmly mounted on the double-bearing shaft (12).
  • the plastic toothed belt wheels are advantageous because they offer low-noise operation and maintenance-free use.
  • the reduction in the number of revolutions is given by the ratio of the two toothed belt wheels and should be about 1: 5. There is thus the possibility of max. 1500 revolutions per minute from the motor shaft (2) to about 300 revolutions on the shaft (12).
  • the voltage regulator (24) together with the transformer and rectifier (25) supplies the correct current to the electric motor (2).
  • the adjustment of the oscillation frequency of the band is done by adjusting the electrical voltage with the voltage regulator knob (26).
  • the shaft (12) is rotatably mounted in the bearing plates with deep groove ball bearings (13, 14) and has four at regular intervals, each offset by 180 ° from each other eccentric (15, 16, 17, 18).
  • the 4 tape transducers (19, 20, 21, 22) are hung.
  • the belt (1) can slide through the four tape transducers and forms four self-contained loops. This solution ensures that the forces on the body parts are evenly distributed.
  • the two ends of the band are combined so that you can extend or shorten it, depending on the use.
  • the user can create the band around the desired body parts to be massaged as desired, then hang the tape recorder on the eccentric, adjust the height, start the drive unit (2) with the start button (23).
  • the voltage regulator (26) which regulates the voltage before the transformer and rectifier (25), he can set the desired frequency and the timer (27), he can set the desired treatment time.
