An external automatic defibrillator including an attachment device that can be externally attached and carried by a patient, an identification device for detecting an abnormal event in the cardiac activity, which can be treated by an electric shock, as well as a defibrillator allowing to exert a shock upon the patient after having detected the abnormal event. In order to ensure reliable functioning over a longer period of time, the identification device is configured so that the identification device can detect an abnormal event in an interval of not more than 90 seconds or one minute.

The invention relates to an air bubble mat for an air bubble massage device having a single mat section extending over its entire length and width and provided with openings, or having a plurality of individual mat sections extending over its width and provided with openings, which mat sections are lined up in the longitudinal direction of the air bubble mat, where the single mat section or the individual mat sections form a receptacle on their underside for receiving air feed ducts or air chambers, which air feed ducts are provided with air outlets corresponding to openings of the mat sections and are connected to a connecting stub or to a compressed air distributor with a connecting stub. Construction with uncomplicated parts and the simplest assembly possible are attained where the single mat section or the individual mat sections merely provide a support element, which has in its receptacle a one-piece or multi-piece foil mat, where the sections of the foil mat are each put together from two foils placed on top of one another, between which the air feed ducts or air chambers have been defined by welding or other connections outside of the air feed ducts or air chambers, where the air feed ducts or air chambers of the sections of the foil mat are connected with each other and/or with the connecting stub and where the air outlets are inserted in the foils of the section of the foil mat facing the underside of the support element.

This invention relates to an air turbulence massage device having a control device with a blower unit and a turbulence matting which can be placed in a bathtub. The turbulence matting can be connected with the blower unit outlet by means of an air tube. The turbulence intensity, using a preset program, can be adjusted and changed between a lower and an upper value by varying the rotational speed of the blower unit. To achieve siultaneous switching times with the turbulence process, this invention provides that the lower value is preset as a minimum pressure value which is enough to overcome a counter-pressure predetermined by a normal water level in the bathtub. The upper value is preferably preset as an adjustable maximum pressure value. At predetermined time intervals, the turbulence intensity can be abruptly switched between the predetermined minimum pressure value and the predetermined maximum pressure value and/or can be changed at predetermined time intervals which alternately increase and decrease the turbulence intensity.

This invention relates to a control device for an air turbulence massage device having a housing. The housing accommodates a blower unit which can be driven by an electrical motor. The housing has a connecting piece for an air tube that is in communication with a turbulence matting. The housing accommodates a check valve device which, when the control device is shut off, prevents water from flowing back from the turbulence matting to the electrical motor and the blower unit. The housing comprises an external housing and a separate internal housing. Air flow is separated from a water discharge path leading from the internal housing such that the blower unit and the electrical motor never contact the water flowing into the housing and the water can flow out of the control device.

Control device for an air turbulence massage device

A massage apparatus having a massage plate unit oscillated by electrical drive means, with the oscillatory motion being in the plane of a first component plate. The massage apparatus has a single drive unit and is suitable for administering vibratory as well as percussion massage. The massage plate has two component plates which form, with their upper surfaces, an angle of 270.degree.. The first component plate is oscillated by motion components which act approximately perpendicular to the second component plate, and the second component plate undergoes rising and falling motions in accordance with such motion components.

Massage apparatus

A whirlpool bath massaging apparatus having a bubble mat, a distributor having a control switch for regulating the air supply, and control means including a blower which is in communication with the bubble mat through an aerator tube and the distributor. The distributor is in the form of a self-contained structural unit separate from the bubble mat and is provided with inlet connecting means for the aerator tube and with outlet connecting means in the form of connector studs equal in number as there are partial sections of the bubble mat. The distributor with the control switch thereon forms an insertable unit which is installed in a receptacle provided in the bubble mat, whereby connector studs are directly plugged into sockets provided in the receptacle and in communication to the partial sections of the bubble mat. The distributor/control switch unit constitutes an easily exchangeable, inexpensive replacement part.

Whirlpool bath massaging apparatus

A massage apparatus having a vibratory massage plate, the vibratory motion of which is derived from a drive unit rotated by an electric motor and an insertable portion of a drive shaft in operative engagement with the drive unit. In order to perform underwater massage in addition to dry vibration massage, the invention provides for a container having a drive shaft rotatably mounted in its bottom portion. The drive shaft has an impeller or the like mounted thereon inside the container and has an insertable portion on the shaft projecting from the underside of the container bottom. The massage plate has an opening in the area of the drive unit to receive the insertable portion of the drive shaft, and on insertion of the insertable portion of the drive into a receptacle of the drive unit, an operative engagement between the insertable portion of the drive shaft and the drive unit is established. Disengagement of the drive unit and the insertable portion of the drive shaft is effected by axial movement of the drive unit.
