Abstract:
1. A massage head comprising: a case defining an internal chamber in which a skinfold is formed when it is applied to the skin of a patient, the chamber being defined and continuously bounded by two lateral walls and by two transverse walls and having an opening on an end for application to the skin, said transverse walls each comprising a clack valve, each clack valve comprising a lower edge configured to contact the skinfold and an upper end opposite to said lower edge; a motorized rotary cam defining a cam path and engaging with the upper end of each clack valve, wherein a rotation of said cam causes lower edges of each clack valve to move from a first position contacting said case to a second position closer to each other; wherein the upper end of each of the clack valves opposite the lower edge thereof is articulated on a platform so that said clack valves can swivel and so that the lower edges can move closer to one another or move further apart, said platform and said clack valves cast in one piece, said platform comprising a resilient hinge to allow the end to articulate.
