Description

The invention relates to insertion devices in the form of massage devices of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 for use in a vaginal or rectal cavity or a vaginal or rectal opening of the human body.Massage devices of the aforementioned type serve for massage or training the aforementioned areas of the human body.Such massage devices can be designed, shaped, structured and designed in different designs.Massage devices of the relevant type can be designed in different designs as well as designs, in particular modular, one-piece, one-piece as well as disassemblable.In addition, in the massage devices concerned, an energy source, for example a rechargeable battery or a battery, can also be provided in order to be able to generate or amplify a function or effect using this energy source. Heat can thus be generated by means of an energy source and a corresponding energy converter, for example in order to assist massage.In contrast, massage devices of the relevant type are designed in particular in such a way that no additional energy has to be supplied to the relevant massage device, so that this can be used in particular without current.Massage devices of the relevant type can be introduced or applied, for example, at least in sections into a vaginal or rectal cavity or a vaginal or rectal opening of the human body and assume a use position in which they perform one or more main or secondary functions.Such massage devices can act on at least one section of the corresponding cavity or the opening of the human body, in order thereby in particular to massage or train a muscle or a muscle section.The known massage devices are provided with a base body for use in a vaginal or rectal cavity or a vaginal or rectal opening of the human body, wherein the base body has at least one massage body and a traction means arranged on the base body so as to be tension-proof for removing the massage body from the vaginal or rectal cavity or the vaginal or rectal opening.In the known massage devices, their removal from a vaginal or rectal cavity or a vaginal or rectal opening of the human body takes place by means of a traction means which is often designed as a thread or band-made, inter alia, of nylon-which is arranged in particular so as to form a loop on the massage device or its massage body so as to be resistant to tension. In addition, the traction means can also be of annular design. In some cases, an elastic material is used which forms or coats the traction means at least in sections, as a result of which, inter alia, better or simpler cleaning of the traction means can take place. If the traction means comprises an elastic material, it stretches accordingly in proportion to this traction force in the relevant region when a traction force is applied due to the material properties.From the field of insertion devices for use in a cavity or an opening of the human body, which have, among other things, a traction means which has a finger grip which is resiliently formed at least in sections and which is resiliently deformable between a rest position and a removal position. The finger grip is made partly of elastic material to allow elastic moldability. Such insertion devices are known, for example, from EP 1 338 886 A1, wherein a sampling system is known that has an opening closure which is elastically deformable.Furthermore, DE 69 80 7196 T2 discloses an insertion device in the form of a tampon, which has a cord as traction means, which has a finger grip made of plastic, which is held on the tampon in a spring-loaded manner by means of a bellows device.DE 10 2008 034 730 A1 likewise discloses an insertion device in its form as a tampon, the traction means of which is designed as a cord for removing the tampon from the body opening, wherein this traction means is connected to a spring which is bent from wire and which is elastically deformable under tensile load via the traction means.Furthermore, U.S. Pat. No. 7,104,950 B2 discloses a massage device for use in a cavity or an opening of the human body, which massage device has a traction means, which is arranged on the massage body in a tension-proof manner, for removing the massage body from the cavity or the opening of the human body, wherein the traction means has a portion which is flexible in shape and by means of which a liquid held in the massage body can be subjected to a pressure primarily by deforming this portion. This type of traction means forms a finger grip which is elastically deformable between a rest position and a removal position. The finger grip is at least partially formed from an elastic material.DE 43 00 219 A1 discloses in particular a massage device having a handle and a massage head which is fastened thereto and can be moved relative to the handle and has rolling bodies which are rotatably mounted in order to carry out a rolling massage, wherein the massage head is connected to the handle by an elastically deformable connecting piece.DE 296 05 288 U1 discloses in particular a ball chain massage rod consisting of a plurality of balls which are drawn onto a cord like beads on a chain and have a handle with a cord tensioning mechanism, wherein a plurality of balls on a cord form a ball chain if required or form a rod pressed firmly against one another, wherein these states of the ball chain or of the rod take place by tensioning / relaxing the cord receiving the ball, wherein a tensioning mechanism for tensioning / relaxing the cord is operated by hand force, spring force or otherwise and the device can be in the tensioned or relaxed state if not used, depending on the embodiment, wherein the balls can have different diameters and the number of the arranged balls can be different and the handle can be straight as well as in an angled shape to the balls for ergonomic reasons, wherein the materials are predominantly plastic, but other materials or material combinations can be used.U.S. Pat. No. 6,723,031 B1 discloses a device for tightening muscles in a human cavity. The device comprises a plurality of balls, which are each connected to one another in a row on a cord to form a row of balls. An extreme end of the cord functions as a retraction aid and is formed in the form of an eyelet. The assembly of balls and cord is covered with a resilient material.The known massage devices have the disadvantage that, in particular, a configuration of the traction means as a thread or band leads to undesired displacement taking place by the traction means being acted upon with a tensile force in an undesired manner. This can be accomplished, among other things, by the traction means becoming hooked at one point, for example, and a tensile force being generated by a relative movement to the massage device, which causes a corresponding displacement of the massage device.The object of the invention is to specify a massage device of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 which prevents the disadvantages of the known insertion devices in the embodiment as massage devices and in particular enables better handling.This object is achieved by the invention specified in claim 1.The invention is solved by the idea of specifying a massage device according to the previous realization concepts. Rather, it is based on the idea of reducing the dimensions of the massage device, in particular in the use position of the massage device, and of improving the handling of the massage device.The invention therefore achieves the object in that the finger grip has at least one spring portion, wherein the spring portion has an elongation range in which the formal elasticity is greater than the material elasticity. The advantage arises of dividing the finger grip into different sections which are optimized with respect to fulfilment of the functions of the finger grip. Thus, a spring section according to the invention is designed to optimize the spring function, while the design can follow further sections of the finger grip-in particular ergonomic aspects. The spring portion can consist of an elastic material, for example, or can at least partially comprise it, whereby an elastic deformability of the finger grip is increased.Furthermore, the advantage arises that the deformability of the spring section is significantly increased by the shape design. Thus, the resilient configuration of the spring section contributes significantly to the flexible deformation of the finger grip when a tensile force is applied to the finger grip.This results in the advantage that the traction means in the unloaded state has extremely small dimensions, as a result of which the overall dimension of the massage device is also reduced, in particular in its use position.According to the invention, the finger grip is actuated by means of at least one finger of the human hand. Furthermore, according to the invention, the finger grip can also preferably be actuated by means of two fingers of the human hand, in particular thumb and index finger or middle finger.According to the invention, a use position of a massage device according to the invention is understood to mean reaching a position or a position in a vaginal or rectal cavity or a vaginal or rectal opening of the human body in which the massage body can act in a functional manner. The massage body acts in particular on a part of the wall of the cavity or a part of the opening, in order thereby to achieve the desired function or effect of the massage device.For the sake of clear description, the singular for the term "function" is always used below, which also comprises the plural of this term.The advantage arises that, in the use position of a massage device according to the invention, the latter is completely accommodated in particular in the cavity of the human body on account of the significantly reduced dimensions of the traction means compared to the known massage devices. As a result, the creation of a channel is prevented by the guidance of the traction means to the external environment of the cavity or the opening. Thus, it is effectively prevented that bacteria, for example, that can contribute to diseases enter the opening of the human body via the traction means.According to the invention, a vaginal or rectal cavity or a vaginal or rectal opening of the human body is characterized in that these can be closed at least temporarily in each case by means of at least one muscle.Furthermore, according to the invention, one or more massage bodies can be used. When using a plurality of massage bodies, these can be shaped identically or differently from one another, as can also have differences in at least one geometric dimension. Thus, for example, the outer contours of the respective massage bodies can be identically shaped, but can be dimensioned differently from one another. Furthermore, when using a plurality of massage bodies, these can be arranged spaced apart from one another and also adjacent to one another.According to the invention, a finger grip is understood to mean, in particular, a device which serves to be able to apply, in particular remove, the massage device in a vaginal or rectal cavity or a vaginal or rectal opening of the human body, wherein the finger grip can be gripped by means of at least one finger of the human hand. According to the invention, a finger grip is in particular a preformed body, the shape of which realizes a resilient effect. When a tensile load is applied to a finger grip according to the invention, the finger grip is capable of elastically deforming, in particular due to its resilient shape, as a result of which the finger grip under a tensile load stretches in particular in the direction of tension. Due to the resilient shape, the finger grip resumes its original shape after strain relief.The finger grip is accordingly elastically deformable between a rest position, in which the finger grip is relieved of load, in particular relieved of tension, and a removal position, in which a load, in particular a tensile force, is applied to a finger grip according to the invention. The elastic deformability of the finger grip according to the invention is supported in that the finger grip is at least partially formed from an elastic material.The elastic deformation capacity is increased by the combination of a resilient shape and the use of an elastic material, whereby a breakage of the finger grip is likewise prevented, for example as a result of an occurrence of, in particular, unacceptably high tensile forces or mechanical component stresses.The use of a finger grip according to the invention results in the advantage that not only is it possible to remove it from the relevant body regions, but also better handling is achieved during a corresponding introduction or application in the aforementioned regions.The resilient shaping of the finger grip can be achieved by a variety of forms. For this purpose, the finger grip can have, for example, a region which is designed to be resilient in terms of its shape, while a further region of the finger grip is designed, for example, to be particularly ergonomic with regard to the grip.According to the invention, a finger grip according to the invention can have one or more spring sections which are arranged on the finger grip in particular at a distance from one another. Furthermore, the use of a plurality of spring sections of different design to one another is possible on a finger grip according to the invention.According to the invention, the finger grip has at least one gripping section. This results in the advantage that the ergonomy of the finger grip is increased by providing a corresponding section which is optimized in particular in its shape for performing the gripping function. As a result, gripping of the finger grip is improved, in particular in the use position of the massage device.The gripping section can be designed in a variety of ways. For example, the surface of the gripping section can be designed as grip-like as possible, in particular by a rough surface or by using a knob structure.To improve gripping, the gripping section is shaped like a eyelet at least in sections. In this case, in particular a finger, preferably the index finger, of the human hand can engage in the eyelet and thereby apply a tensile force to the finger grip in a simple manner. Furthermore, the gripping section can also be rigid with regard to its deformation properties, in order to be able to introduce a tensile force better.To optimize the length of the finger grip in the unloaded state, the gripping section can overlap the spring section partially as well as completely, in particular congruently. Therefore, a further advantageous development of the invention is characterized in that the gripping portion overlaps the finger portion at least in sections. The advantage which arises, in addition to a compact design, is also that gripping over the entire outer surface of the finger grip can be optimized, as a result of which a specific portion of the finger grip is not gripped in a targeted manner.The finger grip is shaped at least in sections in a longitudinal cross-section in the manner of a hook, wherein at least one hook opening is directed toward the base body.According to the invention, a longitudinal cross-section is to be understood as the cross-section which results in the direction of the extent of the finger grip away from the body (also referred to below as the longitudinal direction). The direction of extension is in particular directed parallel to the direction of pulling of the finger grip.According to the invention, the formation of a hook can take place in various ways and in different directions. Thus, for example, in a first exemplary embodiment, the shape of the hook can be formed in a side view, while in a further exemplary embodiment, the shape of the hook is formed in a plan view of the massage device which is otherwise of the same design as the first exemplary embodiment.The hook shape can be designed, for example, in the manner of a simple hook with a hook opening as well as in the manner of an S-shaped hook.When using a hook shape with only one hook opening, it is preferably directed towards the base body. This results in the advantage that the free end of the finger grip can be gripped from behind by at least one finger of the human hand, in order to thereby stretch the finger grip and in this way to be able to grip it with the aid of, for example, the thumb.To increase the ergonomy, the hook or the finger grip can have a recess in its profile cross section which is produced transversely to the longitudinal cross section, which recess in particular extends from the geometric longitudinal center of the finger grip or hook as far as an edge region of the hook or of the finger grip. This results in the advantage that the finger grip can be actuated by means of only one finger in order to be able to apply a pulling force.The finger grip is arranged on the massage body in a tension-proof manner, in particular is integrally formed thereon. For this purpose, it is possible, among other things, to provide the massage body at least in sections with a coating-for example made of a silicone or rubber material-from which a finger grip can be formed, for example using the same material. In addition, the finger grip can be arranged on the massage body in another manner, in particular integrally formed. Likewise, the finger grip can be glued to the massage body or arranged on the massage body in another way of force, form and material.However, it is also possible for a holder to be provided in order to be able to hold the massage body. This results in the advantage that the massage body is optimized with respect to its function(s), while the holding body can serve further functions and can therefore be designed in a correspondingly optimized manner. As a result, the respective material selection can also be carried out differently. In addition, manufacturing advantages result in that a configuration of a massage body can be used in different types of massage devices.For this purpose, a further advantageous refinement of the invention provides that the base body has at least one holding body on which the massage body is held.The holding of the massage body on the holding body can take place in different ways. Thus, the holding body can be glued to the massage body or arranged in another non-positive, positive or material connection manner. Furthermore, the holding body can be configured such that the holding body surrounds, in particular encloses, the massage body at least in sections, in particular in the manner of a ring, in the circumferential direction of the massage body, as is provided in a further advantageous refinement of the invention. This results in the advantage that the weight proportion of the holding body with respect to the massage device can be minimized. The production or material costs can likewise be reduced.It is possible that when using a holding body, the finger grip is arranged on the massage body, in particular is integrally formed, preferably integrally formed. Likewise, as already explained, the finger grip can be glued to the massage body or arranged on the massage body in another way of force, form- or material-locking.It is also possible for the finger grip to be arranged on the holding body, in particular formed on, preferably formed on in one piece, as provided by a further advantageous refinement of the invention. This results in the advantage that the production of the holding body and the finger grip can be separated from the production of the massage body. Furthermore, it is possible to use different massage bodies with the holding body, whereby the flexibility of using the holding body or the massage device is increased.In addition, when using a plurality of massage bodies, it is possible to space them from one another by means of the holding body.A further advantageous refinement of the invention provides that the base body is formed in one piece or in one piece. This results in an advantage in the handling of a massage device according to the invention, for example also from a logistic point of view. Furthermore, a one-piece embodiment of a massage device according to the invention provides a manufacturing-related advantage in that the required manufacturing processes can be reduced.For reasons of hygiene, the cleaning is to be made as simple as possible. In this regard, a further advantageous refinement of the invention provides that the base body has a coating at least in sections. This coating can also serve to support or supplement the function(s) of the massage body. In this way, for example, a massage function can be increased. In addition, it is possible to form the finger grip from the coating.In contrast, it is also possible to coat the individual components of a massage device according to the invention at least in sections or to provide them with different coatings or to leave them uncoated.Furthermore, it is possible for the coating to have a surface structure, in order thereby to increase the effect of a massage body according to the invention.A massage body according to the invention can serve different purposes and can therefore be designed in various ways.According to the invention, massage is understood to mean a mechanical influence on skin, connective tissue and muscles by means of an exertion, tension and pressure stimulus. Accordingly, the invention encompasses that a massage device can also be used for training muscles in addition to the aforementioned purposes.In particular, a massage device according to the invention serves in the use position for massage or training of the floor basin muscles.In addition to the aforementioned functions, a massage device according to the invention can also serve to excite or generate a human stimulus, in particular a sexual stimulus. For this purpose, for example, the finger grip can also be used, among other things.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the attached drawing, which shows an exemplary embodiment of a massage device according to the invention.
