Abstract (en)

[origin: US2003073937A1] Massage apparatus consisting of a treatment head connected to a suction circuit, the said treatment head comprising a box (B) that can be operated manually, comprising an internal chamber (C) open at its base, which chamber is defined by two fixed side walls (P1, P2) and two transverse surfaces (T1, T2) arranged facing one another between the two side walls (P1, P2), at least one of these surfaces (T1) consisting of the periphery of a roller (1) driven positively in rotation, the suction circuit opening into the said chamber (C) and making it possible to create suction when the apparatus is applied against the body of the patient, which suction tends to form a fold of skin pressing against the transverse surfaces (T1, T2), characterized in that the positive drive of the roller (1) is obtained via a geared motor unit mounted fixed and coaxially inside it, and in which the output shaft (5) of the reduction gear comprises means of coupling to the said roller (1), the said apparatus being associated with means for adjusting the speed and/or direction of rotation of the motorized roller(s) and the amount of suction, possibly varying this, and doing so during operation.
