The invention relates to a massaging device with a manually rotatable applicator roll for liquid or semi-liquid products.

There are known bottle caps, which act only as a closure and are designed so that they release the contents of the bottle in certain quanta, for example, drop by drop. Also, bottle caps, especially for cosmetic purposes are known, which are provided with atomizer. When carrying out cosmetic or medical indications, it is disadvantageous that due to the unsuitable nature of the bottle caps, for example, the cosmetic preparation or medical rubbing and massage agent usually poured into the human hand and applied to the human body or massaged into the skin must become. For medical indications of rheumatism, arthritis, sciatica, neuralgia and circulatory disorders, which usually provide lengthy massage treatments, malodorous organic liquids are often used, while cosmetic indications are usually oily agents in question. In both cases, the application, rubbing and massaging the body parts with the hands unhygienic, dirty and often associated with sensitive body skin with unpleasant infectious side effects and pain.

Furthermore, according to the German Patent Scripture 811 573 a closure for tubes is known, which is characterized by an internally threaded screw capsule, in the periphery of a rotatable, but not detachable, slotted ring for opening and closing the side of the screw capsule arranged outlet opening is appropriate. Also, this closure allows only the release of the tube contents and is unsuitable for massage purposes.

German Patent 805 907 already discloses a device for applying cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions to the skin, in which rotatable felt tips, rollers or balls are used. This Filspitzen have the disadvantage that they stick easily, and the roller and ball closure does not provide safe dosage, and the loose end sleeve is easily lost, so that no secure closure is present.

According to the French patent 985 064 also serve rollers, rollers with grooves or balls to apply lipstick; for liquids, this device is not suitable.

U.S. Patents 2,029,056 and 2,229,707 show corrugated razor cream applicators and are also unsuitable for liquids and massaging. In the invention, these disadvantages are avoided.

The invention is characterized by a arranged on the container or bottle neck, provided with openings for the liquid support body for the roller, which in turn is provided with openings rotatably and sealingly arranged on the support body, such that the openings during use temporarily cover or offset from each other are detected when the massager acts as a container closure.

Advantageously, this is in the support body, a bore emanating from the preferably rectangular channels. The rotatable roller also has a bore from which a plurality of channels preferably extend at right angles to the outer circumference of the roller. Another advantage is that the rotatable roller is sealingly arranged by means of seals on the support body.

The following advantages are achieved by the invention: The very simple, consisting only of two parts device allows a completely secure completion of the liquid bottle, with no part can be lost; In addition, the device allows by appropriate choice of the number and diameter of the holes in the support body and roller a very accurate dosage of the agent.

The particular advantage of the invention is that the bottle cap can be used for rubbing or massaging the human body and the hands no longer come into contact with the rubbing or Massagemi ttel Another great advantage arises from the particular profile with which the outer circumference of the roller is provided. As a result, a proper massage effect, combined with a special depth effect, guaranteed. Another advantage of the invention is that once the liquid in the bottle dropwise wets the outer periphery of the rotatable roller and thus ensures an economical use of the bottle contents during the massage process.

In the drawing, embodiments of the invention are shown, for example, and shows A b b. 1 a side view of a bottle closure, from b. 2 is a section along the line AB of Fig. 1, A b b. 3 shows the side view of a bottle closure on a bottle, A b b. 4 shows the side view of another bottle closure on a bottle.

In A b b. 1 and 2, 1 denotes a roller, which is provided with a continuous central receiving bore and arranged on a support body 2. Both parts are made of plastic material. The support body 2 is provided at its lower end with a thread 3 for screwing onto a bottle and subsequently with a central bore 4. From this hole branch off two smaller holes, so-called channels 5 and 6, approximately at right angles. The roller also has two continuous, their receiving bore approximately at right angles intersecting holes, so-called channels 7 and 8, whose diameter may be kept slightly smaller than those of the channels 6 and whose distance from each other equal to the distance between the two channels 5 and 6. Instead of two channels in each roll and support body and more or fewer channels can be provided. The diameter of the receiving bore of the roller 1 is such that it can be swiftly, but not too easily, rotate on the support body 2. The serving for receiving the roller part of the support body may also be conical. The upper end 10 of the support body is formed so that, after the roller has been fitted onto the support body, it can be easily shaped by means of a heated object and bent to secure the roller. The roller is spherical and has at its outer periphery a profile 9, which has a plurality of obliquely crossing recesses. After the bottle cap has been screwed onto the bottle, in which, for example, a rubbing and massage agent has been screwed, under slight oblique to horizontal holding the bottle by hand, the candidate body parts are rolled under slight pressure.

During this process, while the roller rotates on the carrier body, each time the channels 5 and 6 of the carrier body intersect with the channels 7 and 8 of the roller, some liquid reaches the profiled surface of the roller and thence to the body parts to be treated , So that the liquid from the bottle can not reach the outside in any other way except through the channels intended for this purpose, the support body is provided with two recesses in each of which a sealing ring 11 made of rubber, felt or another sealing material is inserted. After completion of the treatment of the body, a marking mark 12 located on the latter is brought to coincide with another marking mark 13 attached to the support body by rotation of the roller. In this position, the channels 5 and 6 of the support body relative to those of the roller offset by 900, so that even when lying the bottle no liquid can escape from this. In this position, therefore, a secure closure of the bottle is guaranteed. The two marker marks are colored for a better view. Instead of the marking marks, another marking device, for example a ball which can be latched into a corresponding recess of the roller by spring pressure, can also be provided.

In A b b. 3, a bottle cap on a bottle is shown partly in section, in which the roller 14 has a cylindrical shape and is provided with a thread-like profile.

In addition, the support body 18 is provided with an annular rim 19 for catching the dripping liquid after use.

A b b. 4 shows a screwed on a container bottle closure, the roller 16 is barrel-shaped and provided with a honeycomb intersecting profile 17.

The bottle cap according to the invention can be used for medical and cosmetic indications. It may be distributed loosely with standardized graduated bottle threads or placed directly on the bottle filled with medical rub or massage ink as a closure. Also in cosmetics, the bottle cap can be screwed on, for example, bottles filled with sun oil and supplied. The support body of the bottle closure can be equipped inside with a known ball pump. The bottle can be made of glass except from opaque or opaque colored plastic material and adapted in its outer shape to the bottle cap. Since the bottle cap consists essentially only of two parts made of plastic material, its effort compared to other bottle caps is extremely simple.
