Abstract

The subject of the invention is the mechanism for coupling and adjustable movement of coupled parts where the coupling problem of two parts is solved in a simple way; in addition, it allows for adjustment and/or change of the reciprocal position of such coupled parts without any uncoupling. The invention will be explained on the example of its application in the hand massage appliance. The mechanism for coupling and adjustable movement of coupled parts, which is the subject of the described invention, consists of only two constructional parts, the plug-in element (A) and the socket (B). The design and the form of both parts secure a reliable coupling that does not fall apart at movement of one part towards the other. This is provided by a specially designed plug-in element with a bevelled edge (4a) on the rim of shanks (4); on the passage between the main part (1) and the body (3) is a toothed prolongation (2); at coupling the edges (4a) of shanks (4) fit snugly into the edge (8) of the borehole (7) of the socket (B), whereas the teeth (2a) fit into the grooves (7a) on the top of the borehole (7) of the socket (B). When pushing one part towards the other the two shanks (4) glide along the edge (8) of the socket (B) in the way that the plug-in element (A) does not fall out of the grip.

MEHANIZEM ZA SPAJANJE IN NASTAVLJIVO PREMIKANJE MEDSEBOJNO SPOJENIH DELOVMECHANISM FOR COUPLING AND ADJUSTABLE MOVEMENT OF MUTUALLY CONNECTED PARTS

Predmet izuma je mehanizem za spajanje in nastavljivo premikanje medsebojno spojenih delov pri katerem je na enostaven način rešen problem spajanja dveh delov med seboj, poleg tega pa je možno nastavljati oz. spreminjati medsebojni položaj tako spojenih delov ne da bi bilo potrebno spoj razstaviti. Izum bomo obrazložili na izvedbenem primeru njegove uporabe in sicer na ročnem masažnem aparatu. Izum po svojiThe subject of the invention is a mechanism for coupling and adjustable movement of interconnected parts, which solves the problem of connecting two parts to each other in an easy way, and it is also possible to adjust or adjust them. change the position of the joints so connected without having to disassemble the joint. The invention will be explained on an embodiment of its use, namely on a hand-held massage apparatus. An invention of its own

-2konstrukcijski izvedbi spada v razred F16B 17/00, medtem ko po področju uporabe lahko sodi tudi v razred A 61H 15/00 mednarodne patentne klasifikacije.-2constructional design belongs to class F16B 17/00, while in scope it may also fall within class A 61H 15/00 of the international patent classification.

Tehnični problem, ki ga predložen izum uspešno rešuje je takšna konstrukcija in izvedba mehanizma, ki bo omogočal spajanje dveh konstrukcijskih elementov med seboj na način, ki bo dovoljeval spreminjanje medsebojne lege obeh spojenih elementov, poleg tega pa naj mehanizem po izumu omogoča enostaven in zanesljiv spoj s čim manj konstrukcijskimi deli. V predloženem izvedbenem primeru mehanizma po izumu pa reševanje zastavljenega tehničnega problema omogoča uporabo predloženega mehanizma za spajanje in nastavljivo premikanje medsebojno spojenih delov pri ročnem masažnem aparatu, sestavljenem iz dveh ali več parov masažnih kolesc, katerih različni položaj in lega razširja njegovo uporabnost, hkrati pa omogoča tudi enostavnejše emballiranje ročnega masažnega aparata.The technical problem that the present invention successfully solves is the construction and implementation of a mechanism that will allow the connection of two structural elements with each other in a way that will allow the changing position of the two connected elements, and in addition, the mechanism according to the invention allows a simple and reliable connection with as few structural parts as possible. In the present embodiment of the mechanism according to the invention, the solution of the technical problem allows the use of the presented mechanism for connecting and adjustable movement of the interconnected parts in a hand massage apparatus consisting of two or more pairs of massage wheels, whose different position and position extends its usefulness it also makes it easier to pack a hand-held massage machine.

Konstrukcije znanih mehanizmov za spajanje medsebojno spojenih delov lahko delimo v več skupin. Obstajajo rešitve, pri katerih je za spajanje dveh delov med seboj potrebno dodati posebni pritrjevalni element. Taka rešitev je npr. opisana v WO 92/08902, kjer sta dva dela spojena med seboj s pomočjo vijaku podobnega elementa, na katerega steblu so izvedeni zaskočni robovi v obliki smrečice, medtem ko ima nasproti ležeč del pritrjevalnega elementa elastično izveden nasedni rob. Glede na različno debelino spajanih delov zaskoči nasedni rob v zaskočni rob na določeni višini na vijaku. Tak spoj je sicer možno enostavno doseči, ni ga pa možnoThe constructions of known mechanisms for joining the interconnected parts can be divided into several groups. There are solutions where a special fastening element must be added to connect the two parts. Such a solution is e.g. described in WO 92/08902, where the two parts are connected to each other by a bolt-like element, to which the stem has lingual edges in the shape of a spruce, while the opposite portion of the attachment element has an elastically seated edge. Depending on the different thickness of the joined parts, the seating edge snaps into the locking edge at a certain height on the screw. Such a joint can be easily achieved, but it is not possible

-3na enostaven način razstaviti, poleg tega pa ne omogoča nastavljivo premikanje medsebojno spojenih delov.-3On an easy way to disassemble, it also does not allow adjustable movement of interconnected parts.

Enostavno spajanje in nato tudi razstavljanja dveh delov je možno doseči tudi s pomočjo zaskočnega elementa, opisanega v WO 92/06308. Zaskočni element ima na prostem koncu izvedeno plastično kapico, ki jo vtaknemo v luknjo na delu, katerega želimo spajati. Drug konec zaskočnega elementa lahko pritrdimo na drug del, ki ga želimo spajati. Spoj dosežemo z delno deformacijo plastične kapice pri vtikanju v luknjo drugega dela. Po prehodu kapice skozi luknjo dobi kapica spet svojo prvotno obliko in s tem drži oba spajana dela v oprijemu. Tak zaskočni element je primeren predvsem za spajanje delov pri raznih montažah ipd. ter za večkratno razstavljanje in sestavljanje ni primeren, poleg tega pa z njim ni možno doseči nastavljivega zamikanja obeh medsebojno spojenih delov.Easy coupling and then disassembly of the two parts can also be achieved by means of the snap element described in WO 92/06308. The snap-on element has a plastic cap at the free end that is inserted into the hole in the part that we want to solder. The other end of the snap element can be attached to another piece that we want to solder. The joint is achieved by partially deforming the plastic cap when inserted into the hole of the second part. After passing the cap through the hole, the cap returns to its original shape, thus holding the two fused parts together. Such locking element is especially suitable for joining parts in various mountings, etc. and is not suitable for multiple disassembly and assembly, nor is it possible to achieve adjustable displacement of the two interconnected parts.

Poleg opisanih pa obstaja še cela vrsta spojev, od enostavnega vijačnega spoja, do zaskočnih mehanizmov, pri kateri so za vračanje zaskočnih delov potrebne vzmeti (npr. WO 92/08901).In addition to those described, there are a variety of joints, ranging from a simple screw connection, to snap mechanisms, in which springs are required to return snap parts (eg, WO 92/08901).

Pri znanih rešitvah nismo zasledili mehanizma, ki bi na enostaven način omogočal spajanje, kakor tudi nastavljivo premikanje obeh medsebojno spojenih delov, ne da bio bilo potrebno spoj pri tem razstaviti. Znani mehanizmi so poleg tega sestavljeni iz velikega števila delov, ki podražijo samo izdelavo mehanizma kakor tudi onemogočajo enostavno sestavljanje in razstavljanje mehanizma.In the known solutions, we did not find a mechanism that would allow the connection in a simple way, as well as the adjustable movement of the two interconnected parts without having to disassemble the joint. The known mechanisms also consist of a large number of parts, which only increase the cost of making the mechanism, as well as make it easy to assemble and disassemble the mechanism.

-4Mehanizem za spajanje in nastavljivo premikanje medsebojno spojenih delov po izumu sestavljata samo dva konstrukcijska dela in sicer vtični element A in puša B. Konstrukcijska in oblikovna rešitev obeh delov omogoča zanesljiv spoj, pri premikanju enega dela napram drugemu pa se spoj ne razstavi. To omogoča na poseben način izoblikovan vtični element A, ki ima na zunanjem obodu krakov 4 poševno izoblikovan rob 4a, na prehodu med osnovnim delom 1 in telesom 3 pa nastavek 2 z izvedenimi zobmi, pri čemer pri spoju nasedeta robova 4a krakov 4 v rob 8 okrogle izvrtine 7 puše B, medtem ko se zobje 2a vležejo v utore 7a na vrhu izvrtine 7 puše B. Pri premikanju enega dela napram drugemu drsita kraka 4 po robu 8 puše B tako, da vtični element A ne izpade iz oprijema.-4 The mechanism for joining and adjusting movement of interconnected parts according to the invention consists of only two structural parts, namely plug-in element A and sleeve B. The structural and design solution of both parts allows for a secure joint, but when moving one part to another, the joint does not disassemble. This is made possible in a special way by a plug-in element A having an obliquely shaped edge 4a at the outer circumference of the legs 4, and a nozzle 2 with teeth formed at the passage between the base part 1 and the body 3, whereby the edges 4a of the arms 4 into the edge 8 are seated at the joint. the round holes 7 of bushing B, while the teeth 2a are inserted into the grooves 7a at the top of the bore 7 of bushing B. When moving one part toward the other, slide the arms 4 along the edge 8 of bushing B so that the plug element A does not fall out of the grip.

Izum bomo podrobneje obrazložili na osnovi izvedbenega primera in pripadajočih slik, od katerih kaže:The invention will be explained in more detail on the basis of an embodiment and accompanying drawings, of which:

Sestavljajo ga osnovni del 1, ki ima v izvedbenem primeru obliko kratkega valja in se na eni strani lahko nadaljuje v ročaj ročnega masažnega aparata, na drugi strani pa preko rahlo izbočene oblike prehaja v nastavek 2, ki ga zaključuje odebeljen, z zobmi 2a opremljen rob. Vtični element A nato nadaljuje valjasti vtič, katerega telo 3 je približno na poloviciThe plug-in element A of the coupling mechanism and the adjustable movement of the interconnected parts according to the invention in side view is shown in Figure 1. It consists of a base part 1, which in the embodiment is short-cylindrical and can be extended on the one hand to the handle of a manual massage apparatus. , on the other hand, through a slightly convex shape, it enters the nozzle 2, which is completed by a thickened, teeth 2a fitted edge. Plug A then proceeds to a cylindrical plug whose body 3 is about halfway

Na sliki 2 je prikazana puša B mehanizma za spajanje in nastavljivo premikanje medsebojno spojenih delov po izumu v pogledu s strani. Predstavlja jo telo 6 v katerem je izvedena okrogla odprtina 7, katere premer je uskaljen z debelino telesa 3 valjastega vtiča elementa A. Na zgornjem robu odprtine 7 so izvedeni utori 7a, katerih dimenzija in razporeditev je enaka dimenziji in razporeditvi zob 2a pri nastavku 2 elementa A. Na spodnjem robu odprtine 7 je izvedeno notranje posnetje robu 8 tako, da je strmina D posnetega robu enaka kotu C med posnetjima krakov 4a elementa A. V izvedbenem primeru se puša B nadaljuje v pravokotno na os odprtine 7 nameščenima nosilcema 9 masažnih kolesc.Figure 2 shows the sleeve B of the coupling mechanism and the adjustable movement of the interconnected parts of the invention in side view. It is represented by a body 6 in which a circular opening 7 is made, the diameter of which is aligned with the thickness of the body 3 of the cylindrical plug of element A. At the upper edge of the opening 7, grooves 7a are made, the dimension and arrangement of which is equal to the dimension and arrangement of the teeth 2a at the continuation of 2 elements A. In the lower edge of the opening 7, an internal recording of the edge 8 is made so that the slope D of the recorded edge is equal to the angle C between the shots of the arms 4a of element A. In the embodiment, the sleeve B extends perpendicularly to the axis of the opening 7 with the mounted massages 9 of the massage rollers.

Mehanizem za spajanje in nastavljivo premikanje medsebojno spojenih delov po izumu je na sliki 3 prikazan v pogledu s strani in delnem prerezu. Dolžina telesa 3 s krakoma 4 je takšna, da pri naleganju zob 2a elementa A v utore 7a puše B, posnetje 4a krakov 4 leži v posnetju robu 8. Zaradi ujemanja zob 2a in utorov 7a ter lege krakov 4 v robu 8 sta element A in puša B spojena v enem položaju. Za spremebo medsebojnega položaja elementa A in puše B zadostuje premik enega od obeh delov. Zaradi posneto izvedenih zob 2a, oz. utorov 7a je možno z zasukom enega od obeh delov premakniti tako, da pride ponovno do ujemanja zob 2a in utorov 7a v novem položaju. Višina zob 2a in pa širina posnetja 4a na krakih 4 sta usklajeni tako, da ne pride do razklenitve spoja, kot E, ki je v izvedbenem primeru 15° in pa elastičnost materiala iz katerega je narejenThe mechanism for joining and adjustable movement of the interconnected parts according to the invention is shown in Fig. 3 in a side view and a partial cross-section. The length of the body 3 with the blades 4 is such that when the teeth 2a of the element A are inserted into the grooves 7a of the bush B, the snap 4a of the blades 4 lies in the recording edge 8. To match the teeth 2a and the grooves 7a and the position of the blades 4 in the edge 8, the element A and bushing B jointed in one position. Movement of one of the two parts is sufficient to change the relative position of element A and bushing B. Due to the cut teeth 2a, respectively. the grooves 7a can be moved by rotating one of the two parts so that the teeth 2a and the grooves 7a in the new position are matched again. The height of the teeth 2a and the width of the clip 4a on the arms 4 are aligned so as not to break the joint, such as E, which in the embodiment is 15 ° and the elasticity of the material of which it is made

-7vtični element A pa omogoča stalno naleganje posnetja 4a na rob 8 puše B.-7thumb element A, however, permits permanent snapshot 4a to edge 8 of bushing B.

Število zob 2a oziroma utorov 7a je lahko poljubno. V izvedbenem primeru so izvedeni štirje zobje 2a in štirje utori 7a.The number of teeth 2a or grooves 7a can be any. In the embodiment, four teeth 2a and four grooves 7a are made.

Na slikah od 4 do 7 je prikazana uporaba mehanizma za spajanje in nastavljivo premikanje medsebojno spojenih delov po izumu pri ročnem masažnem aparatu. Ročni masažni aparat sestavljata dva sklopa masažnih kolesc, nameščenih na obeh straneh ročaja. Gibljivost sklopa masažnih kolesc je v smeri puščice F (slika 4). V primeru toge povezanosti obeh sklopov masažnih kolesc z ročajem je možna smotrna uporaba masažnega aparata samo v vzdolžni smeri.Figures 4 to 7 show the use of a mechanism for coupling and adjustable movement of the interconnected parts of the invention in a hand-held massage apparatus. The manual massage apparatus consists of two sets of massage rollers mounted on both sides of the handle. The mobility of the massage roller assembly is in the direction of arrow F (Figure 4). In the case of rigid connection of the two sets of massage rollers with the handle, it is advisable to use the massage apparatus only in the longitudinal direction.

Kot je iz slik 4 do 7 razvidno je možno z uporabo mehanizma za spajanje in nastavljivo premikanje medsebojno spojenih delov po izumu na obeh spojih sklopov kolesc z ročajem doseči različne možne postavitve posameznega sklopa kolesc in s tem tudi povečati možnosti uporabe masažnega aparata. Poleg tega je zaradi gibljivosti sklopa masažnih kolesc možno v enem položaju tudi poklopiti ročaj (slika 7), kar je posebno ugodno zaradi manjše embalaže ter priročnega shranjevanja masažnega aparata.As can be seen from Figures 4 to 7, it is possible to achieve different possible positions of each wheel assembly using the coupling mechanism and adjustable movement of the interconnected parts according to the invention on the two joints of the wheel assemblies with the handle, thereby increasing the possibilities of using the massage apparatus. In addition, due to the flexibility of the massage roller assembly, it is also possible to fold the handle in one position (Figure 7), which is particularly advantageous due to the smaller packaging and convenient storage of the massage apparatus.

Mehanizem za spajanje in nastavljivo premikanje medsebojno spojenih delov po izumu je seveda možno uporabiti tudi pri masažnih aparatih, ki imajo na enem ročaju medsebojno povezanih tudi več sklopov masažnih kolesc.The mechanism for coupling and adjustable movement of the interconnected parts of the invention can, of course, also be used with massage apparatus having several sets of massage wheels interconnected on the same handle.
