The invention is a massage device designed for treating cellulite, featuring two curved supports connected by a hinge, with their concave surfaces facing each other. The device contains multiple adjacent rollers mounted on the curved supports, allowing them to rotate during use. The key feature is the arrangement of the rollers, whose rotation axes are inclined in alternating, opposite directions relative to adjacent rollers. This configuration distinguishes the device from conventional roller-based massage tools. The supports may include handles to make the device easier to hold and operate. The rollers can also feature flexible pins or surface grooves to provide different contact surfaces during massage. The patent specifies roller diameters ranging from 10 mm to 80 mm and identifies plastic, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and metal as possible roller materials.
- Some existing devices include raised elements on the roller surfaces to apply localized pressure during massage.
- Existing cellulite massage devices use rollers mounted on curved or flexible supports to massage the body.
- Arranging adjacent rollers on curved supports presents a technical design challenge, particularly regarding the orientation of their rotation axes.
- Maintaining body contact during massage requires an appropriate arrangement of curved supports and rotating rollers.
- Rollers with similar orientations may not produce the same massaging action as rollers arranged at alternating, opposite inclinations.
Invention provides a cellulite treatment massage device consisting of two curved supports connected by a hinge, with their concave surfaces facing each other. The device contains multiple adjacent rotating rollers mounted on the supports. Its main solution is the alternating arrangement of roller rotation axes, where each roller's axis is inclined in the opposite direction to that of its adjacent rollers. This configuration creates a distinctive roller arrangement for body massage. The device may include handles for convenient operation, while the rollers can feature flexible pins or surface grooves to provide different contact surfaces.
Yes, the invention addresses a specific gap in prior art. Earlier cellulite massage devices used rollers mounted on curved or flexible supports, sometimes with raised surface elements to apply localized pressure. The invention introduces a distinctive arrangement in which the rotation axes of adjacent rollers are inclined in opposite directions.
- Device comprises two arcuate (curved) supports hinged at one end, with their concave sides facing each other.
- Each support carries multiple adjacent rollers that can rotate.
- The rotation axes of the rollers are inclined relative to the radial plane and cross that plane.
- Adjacent rollers have opposite inclinations of their rotation axes.
- The device may include handles for holding and operating it.
- The rollers may have flexible pins or surface grooves.
- Roller diameters may range from 10 mm to 80 mm.
- Rollers may be made of plastic, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or metal.
- The supports may be made of plastic or metal.
