Abstract

The horizontal vibrator unit for the massage table, characterized in that it consists of a wooden board (1a) on which a housing (1c + 2) is glued, in which the vibrators (4 + 5) are installed. This housing is closed with a plywood board (3) as a lid. The swing unit is firmly connected directly to the underside of the massage bench by the wooden strip (7) and the wooden plate (1b). The wooden panel (1b) can be attached to the underside of the massage table by gluing or screwing. The size of this wooden panel (1b) is approximately 8 x 21 cm. The size of the base or wooden board (1a) is approximately 39 x 21 cm for models A. For models B and C, it is approximately 29 x 21 cm. The height of the cases without the lid is approximately 16 cm, which also corresponds to the width. The case length for model A is approximately 34 cm, and for models B and C it is approximately 24 cm. The case lengths may vary slightly. The body-borne sound transducer (4) and the midrange / tweeter (5) can generate frequencies from 20 to 20,000 Hz in the enclosure. A capacitor (6) is connected in series to prevent the midrange / tweeter from being overloaded. The generated frequencies are transferred to the massage table through direct contact. To avoid an echo effect in the housing, it is filled with speaker damping wadding.

Description

[0001] To increase the effect of the massage, a vibration unit is installed at the bottom of the massage table.

[0002] A bar (7) is firmly attached to the underside of the massage table and is fastened to the frame of the massage table with 4 screws.

[0003] Furthermore, a wooden plate (1b) is firmly connected to the underside of the massage table by gluing or screwing.

[0004] Between the two parts (7 + 1b) is a wooden plate (1a) onto which wooden panels (1c + 2) are glued vertically at 90 degrees, forming a housing. The interior of this housing serves to mount the vibration generators (4 + 5).

[0005] This housing is sealed with 10 mm plywood (3) (birch or poplar) and several screws. After completion, the screws are filled, and the entire unit is given two coats of varnish. This largely prevents unauthorized opening. It also makes it easy to keep the unit hygienically clean.

[0006] These vibration generators consist of a 4-ohm structure-borne sound transducer (4) and two 8-ohm mid-tweeters (5). The mid-tweeters are soldered together to create a 4-ohm impedance. Furthermore, a capacitor (6) is located in front of the mid-tweeter to eliminate low-frequency vibrations.

[0007] The design of the vibration generator can be done in different ways. In the vertical section, see Fig. 1 + Fig. 2 + Fig. 3 and in cross section Fig. 4. A schematic representation of the vibrations and how they are distributed can be found at Fig. 5 shown. A) Fig.1: The structure-borne sound transducer (4) is positioned at a 90-degree angle to the base plate. The mid-high-frequency drivers (5) are mounted side by side, parallel to the base plate. Here, the low-frequency vibrations act horizontally, while the mid-high-frequency vibrations act vertically. B) Fig. 2: The structure-borne sound transducer (4) is positioned at a 90-degree angle to the base plate. The mid-high-range drivers (5) are mounted one above the other, parallel to the base plate. Here, the low-frequency vibrations act horizontally, while the mid-high-frequency vibrations act vertically. C) Fig. 3: The structure-borne sound transducer (4) and the two mid-high-range drivers (5) are positioned at a 90-degree angle to the base plate. All three vibration generators are screwed parallel to one another on a wooden plate (1c). Here, the low-frequency vibrations and the vibrations of the mid-high-range drivers act horizontally. Just as in Fig. 5 is drawn.

[0008] The majority of the bloodstream and lymph circulate horizontally in a lying person ( Fig. 5). Due to the horizontally generated vibrations, the transmitted frequencies affect the human body, also predominantly horizontally. Thus, these horizontal vibrations can be absorbed more gently and even more evenly distributed by the body than is the case with vertical vibration transmission. For use:

[0009] Based on the respondents’ answers regarding their health, the tables in the “Folder for Users” allow the user to quickly identify the appropriate CD for the stimulation or sound session.

[0010] Here are some examples of how it is used: Clinical picture CD number In case of constipation or diarrhea 01 For back and / or stomach pain 02 For liver problems 03 In case of bladder weakness or lymphatic insufficiency 04 For pancreatic complaints 05 For left hip or right leg 06 For heart problems 07

[0011] At the beginning of the treatment, the therapist places the appropriate CD into the player, and the health-promoting vibrations are transmitted simultaneously during the subsequent massage. The various sounds can be played from CDs or other audio media.

[0012] If several massage tables in a treatment room are equipped with such a vibration unit and all of them are to vibrate the same way, a wireless connection via Wi-Fi can also be considered. However, if different sounds are to be vibrated or used on several massage tables, direct cabling is recommended.

[0013] To achieve a therapeutic effect, the sounds (sound recordings) of the PRIMUSONA sound therapy are used to generate the vibrations. However, other music can also be used. For lymphatic drainage, for example, meditation music could also be very helpful.

Claims

[1] The horizontal oscillator unit for the massage bench, characterized by It consists of a wooden plate (1a) to which a housing (1c + 2) is glued, in which the vibrators (4 + 5) are installed. This housing is closed with a plywood plate (3) as a lid. The vibration unit is firmly connected directly to the underside of the massage table by the wooden strip (7) and the wooden plate (1b). The wooden plate (1b) can be attached to the underside of the massage table by gluing or screwing. This wooden plate (1b) measures approximately 8 x 21 cm. The size of the base or wooden plate (1a) is approximately 39 x 21 cm for model A. For model B and C, it is approximately 29 x 21 cm. The height of the cases without lid is about 16 cm, which also corresponds to the width. The case length for model A is approximately 34 cm, and for models B and C approximately 24 cm. The case lengths may vary slightly. The structure-borne sound transducer (4) and the mid-tweeters (5) can generate frequencies of 20 - 20,000 Hz in the cabinet. A capacitor (6) is installed upstream to prevent overloading the mid-tweeters. The generated frequencies are transferred into the massage table through direct contact with it. To avoid a reverberation effect in the housing, it is filled with speaker insulation wool. [2] The horizontal oscillator unit for the massage bench, characterized by The vibration unit (BE) is installed as follows: The BE is pushed under the wooden strip (7). The BE is now located between the wooden strip (7) and the wooden plate (1b), which is firmly glued or screwed to the massage table. Using the aluminum plate (9) and the wing nut (10), the BE can now be firmly screwed to the massage table. The size of the aluminum plate (9) is approx. 80 x 30 x 3 mm and the wing screw is m6. In this way, the BE is firmly connected to the massage table and thus forms a vibrating unit with it. The placement of the BE should preferably be as close to the center of the massage bench or massage table as possible. Even when the BE is mounted eccentrically under the massage table, the transmitted vibrations have a therapeutic effect on the person lying on it. The special feature of construction A) Fig. 1 and B) Fig. 2 of this production series is that the structure-borne sound transducer (4) as a vibration generator generates horizontal vibrations and the mid-high-frequency speakers (5) generate vertical vibrations, which then also act accordingly on the person lying on the massage table. In construction C) Fig. 3 all vibration-generating parts (4 + 5) act horizontally on the massage table and thus also on the person lying on it. If properly tested, the base plate (1a) and the other plates (1b, 1c, 2 + 3) in the respective thicknesses can also be used in other plate materials. However, when thinking and acting in harmony with nature, wooden construction is preferable. [3] The horizontal oscillator unit for the massage bench, characterized by that it can be installed in both stationary massage tables and folding massage tables. Removing the vibrator units (A, B, and C) from the folding massage table is done simply by loosening the wing nut (10). This allows the aluminum plate (9) that holds the vibrator body to be easily removed. The size of the vibration unit can vary depending on the underside of the massage table. It should be installed as close to the center of the massage table as possible. Exceptions to this are folding massage tables, see Fig. 5.
