Description Field of the art

The present invention operates in the field of medical devices for executing massage treatments, in particular the bed, object of the present invention, is adapted to allow ozone therapy in water. Prior art

Hydro-massage is a natural and effective treatment for bringing the organism back to an ideal condition, in order to each day combat a lifestyle that - due to sedentary work and incorrect diet - becomes hostile to our body.

The action of water moving on the body is a useful stimulator for the circulation, which is reactivated, facilitating the release and the use of body oxygen. The stimulation of the parts of the body subjected to water retention, accumulation of fats, problems of the circulatory and lymphatic system, presently occurs in centers specialized for this type of treatment. Some international patents have as object that of improving current hydro-massage and hydrotherapy practices, such as the patent RU 25 67 830. This claims a system for hydro- massage comprising a tube that is mechanically actuated in order to execute hydro- therapeutic procedures on a patient. The tube is arranged transverse to the body of the patient and has one end connected to a water source and the other end connected to a water sprayer directed towards the patient. The effect of using this machinery for hydro-massages is that of improving the patient's blood circulation.

Even if the practice of hydro-massage is widespread today, ozone hydro-massage is not as much so. This requires the presence of an ozone tank, which is difficult for a private individual to procure. The ozonation of the water with which the hydro-massage is executed also requires the preceding installation of a system of tubes that bring the gas from the tank to the mouths placed in the tub in which the patient is being hydro-massaged.

All these complications make ozone hydro-massage a practice that is not very widespread, which is complicated and costly.

Object of the present invention is therefore that of describing a new and innovative type of bed which integrates everything necessary for carrying out an ozone hydro-massage in conditions of complete safety and relaxation for the user.

Description of the invention

According to the present invention, a floating bed for ozone hydro-massage is attained.

This practice is one of the most effective treatments for bringing the body back to its ideal state. Water, massage and ozone is the simplest and healthiest system available for maintaining oneself in shape and for the beauty, well-being and repose of the body. Ozone hydro-massage lightens muscular tension and it becomes a true beauty treatment against the blemishes of cellulite, acne, pimples, black spots, varicose veins, capillaries, blood and lymphatic circulation. The skin of the user, beginning with the initial treatments, will obtain a beneficial effect therefrom, becoming smooth and velvety, and the user will note a new charge of energy for confronting the daily stress.

The present bed is advantageously adapted to allow a user to stretch out on top of it, when the bed is immersed in water, and to remain with the body immersed and with the head outside of the water. This is made possible by the fact that the pair of arms constituting the bed are filled with a common floating material, such as air, gas, foam or other solid floating materials. The bed is therefore constituted by a support structure, also comprising a structure for said pair of arms. All the structural support elements are made of plastic or metal tubes, preferably of steel, of diameter comprised between φ 18 and φ 30, preferably φ 25. In order to assist the user in climbing on the bed when he/she is situated in the water, it is also advantageously possible to provide for a ladder to be reversibly clasped at any one point of the tubular structure of the bed.

The form of the support structure of the bed is advantageously ergonomic and provided with a plurality of adjustable hinges suitably positioned for dividing said structure into a back, a central portion and a foot zone. Due to the hinges, it is possible to advantageously modify the tilt of the back and of the foot zone as the user desires.

The bed structure is also connected to at least one pair of wheels, which allow the movement thereof also with a stretched-out user on top.

Preferably the foot zone, or any one other point of the structure of the bed, is also advantageously provided with at least one clasping device, constituted for example by a hook or by a sucker, which allows the stable and reversible engagement of the bed with the edge of the swimming pool in which it is immersed or with any other fixed element.

Said back is adapted to be engaged, preferably in a stable but reversible manner, with a cushion in order to support the head of the user. In a preferred embodiment, said cushion is also provided with a plurality of massaging rollers which act on the nape-neck-shoulders zone of the user for a complete relaxation.

The central portion and the foot zone, instead, are adapted to be engaged, always in a stable and preferably reversible manner, with a mattress which will host the immersed part of the user's body. Said mattress, advantageously, is characterized by a plurality of micro-holes and by a clasp adapted to be engaged with a second end of an extensible tube. The other end of said extensible tube is advantageously connected to an ozone tank which is a medical device suitably conceived for ozone therapy treatments.

Alternatively, the ozone could come from the interior of the tubular structure of the bed.

Since the bed is advantageously connected to the power grid by means of a common cable, by using a common push-button panel and/or a remote control, the user or a third person cause the actuation of the tank and the outflow of the ozone from the micro-holes of the mattress.

In addition to the buoyancy offered by the arms, also the tubular structure of the bed and of the arms themselves can be filled with any one floating material.

Advantageously it is possible to remove the bulk of the components outside the bed, rendering the present device an object that is more easily transportable and usable. In order to obtain this, it is possible to include said ozone tank within at least one of the arms and provide the bed with a common rechargeable battery, provided with watertight outlets, in place of the electric power cable.

Other additional equipment which makes the bed of the present invention a 360° complete instrument of relaxation are the following:

- a small table with relative glass-holder integrated or connected with one of said arms and configured for always remaining in an emersed position;

- at least one pair of impermeable audio speakers, preferably placed at said arms, adapted to be placed on the same wavelength as the radio frequencies and/or provided with a common wireless connection system, preferably of Bluetooth type, in order to play musical files stored in any one electronic device;

- a common sunshade canopy constituted by a cloth, preferably made of thin photovoltaic film, and by a support structure stably and rotatably fixed to said support structure of said arms so as to be reclinable as desired by the user;

- a plurality of LED lights, adapted to change color at regular time intervals in order to provide a chromotherapy treatment;

- the integration of a push-button panel in one of said arms so as to be easily reachable by the stretched-out user. In this manner the user, remaining easily stretched out while he/she receives the ozone hydro-massage, can adjust the intensity of the hydro-massage, the tilt of the back and of the foot zone, the tilt of the sunshade canopy, the intensity of movement of the massaging rollers and the volume of the audio speakers.

In order to allow the user to be subjected to ozone therapy treatment while he/she is situated in the company of other people, it is also advantageously possible to provide said bed, more precisely its load-bearing structure, with at least one connection device, constituted for example by a hook, which allows the stable and reversible connection of one bed alongside the other or of one bed after the other in a configuration with backs opposite.

The advantages offered by the present invention are clear in light of the description made up to now and will be even clearer due to the enclosed figures and relative detailed description. Description of the figures

In this case, the tank 7 is integrated within one of the two arms 6-6'; the structure of the arms 3 is adjustably connected with the support structure 14 of a reclinable canopy 10; the cushion 5 is provided with a plurality of massaging rollers 13; one of the two arms 6-6' is provided with small table 11 with glass-holder 11 ' and with a push-button panel 15 in order to adjust the tilt of the bed, the volume of the audio speakers 12 integrated in the arms 6-6', the tilt of the canopy 10, the movement of the massaging rollers 13 and the intensity of the hydro-massage. At the back of the structure 1 of the bed, moreover, two connection devices 18 are seen which allow the clasping with the back 1 ' of a second bed, in a configuration with backs opposite. Detailed description of the invention

The present invention will now be illustrated as a merely exemplifying and non-limiting or non-constraining example, with reference to the figures which illustrate several embodiments relative to the present inventive concept. With reference to FIG. 3, a basic version of the floating bed for ozone hydro-massage, object of the present invention, is illustrated.

This is constituted by a structure 1 for the bed and a structure 3 for the arms, irreversibly fixed together, constituted by steel tubes φ 25 with ergonomic shape. For an optimal comfort of the user stretched out on the bed, on said structure 1 a plurality of adjustable hinges 9-9' are arranged which allow modifying the tilt of back and foot zone " . At least one pair of wheels 2-2' are fixed to the central portion 1 " of the structure 1 of the bed; such wheels allow an easy movement of the entire device. A clasping device 16 is fixed to the foot zone " of the structure 1, such device constituted by a sucker which can be connected to the edge of the swimming pool in order to maintain the bed stopped.

The central and lower part of the body of the user are housed by a mattress 4 adapted to be engaged, in a stable and reversible manner, with said central portion 1 " and said foot zone " of the structure 1. These are the parts of the body that are immersed when the bed is in water. The ozone hydro-massage is carried out by means of a medical device constituted by an ozone tank 7 that is remotely positioned and connected to said mattress 4 by means of a common extensible tube 8. More in detail, said extensible tube 8 has a first end 8' engaged with said tank 7 and a second end 8" reversibly engaged with a suitable clasp 4' placed on one side of said mattress 4. The latter is provided with micro-holes from which the ozone flows out, giving rise to the hydro-massage.

The upper part of the body of the user is set on a cushion 5 adapted to be engaged with said back 1 ' of said structure 1.

This is the part of the body of the user that remains emersed due to the fact that said bed is laterally provided with a pair of floating arms 6-6' .

The bed of FIG. 3 is connected to the power grid by means of a common power cable and the reversible actuating of the tank 7, in order to begin or end the hydro-massage, is entrusted to a common fixed push-button panel 15 and/or to a remote control 17.

With reference to FIG. 4, a version of the present bed is shown with multiple accessories, providing a complete relaxation treatment for the user. Unlike the previously-described bed, this variant is characterized in that the ozone tank is included in one arm 6' . The other arm 6 is stably connected to a small table 11 with relative glass holder 1 l.a which always remain emersed with respect to the water.

Both said arms 6-6' are also provided with impermeable audio speakers 12 that can be placed on the same wavelength as the radio frequencies or with any one electronic device due to the Bluetooth connection.

The cushion 5, which houses the upper part of the body of the user, is provided with three massaging rollers 13 and, above the body of the user, a sunshade canopy 10 is placed that is constituted by a cloth made of thin photovoltaic film. Said canopy 10 is supported by a support structure 14 that is stably and rotatably fixed to said support structure 3 of said arms 6-6' . The type of connection between these two structures 3-14 is such to allow the tilt of said canopy 10 as desired.

In the same arm 6 of the small table 11, directed towards the user, a push-button panel 15 is placed which is adapted to adjust:

- the intensity of the hydro-massage by means of common means for adjusting the pressure of the ozone flowing out from said tank 7;

- the tilt of the back and of the foot zone ";

- the tilt of the sunshade canopy 10;

- the volume of the audio speakers 12;

- the intensity of the massage of the massaging rollers 13.

The power supply of all the components requiring it, in this case, occurs due to a common watertight rechargeable battery integrated in one of said arms 6-6'.

At the back of the structure 1 of the bed, two connection devices 18 are placed which allow the stable and reversible clasping with the back of a second bed, obtaining a configuration of the two beds with backs 1 ' opposite.

Finally, it is clear that modifications, additions or variations that are obvious for a man skilled in the art can be made to the invention described up to now, without departing from the protective scope that is provided by the enclosed claims.
