  • Patent number: 10219974
    Abstract: A massage device includes a device housing, with an electromechanical arrangement arranged in the housing for generating mechanical vibrations, along with an electronic controller arranged in the housing for activating the arrangement for generating mechanical vibrations, and with a power source, connected to the arrangement for generating mechanical vibrations and the electronic controller. The arrangement for generating mechanical vibrations includes at least one coil element and at least one ferromagnetic core arranged parallel or coaxial with the coil element and movably guided parallel to a cylinder axis, characterized in that the at least one ferromagnetic core has a mass m1, the mass ratio m1:m2 of which to the total mass m2 of the massage device is in the range from 1:100 to 1:3.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10085913
    Abstract: The massaging device includes electromechanical means, for generating mechanical vibrations, in a housing, electronic means for controlling the electromechanical means, and a power source connected to the electromechanical and electronic means. The electromechanical means includes a cylinder element, in which a core is guided in parallel to a cylinder element axis (Z2), in particular, coaxial with respect to the cylinder element axis (Z2), at least one coil element, the coil axis (Z3) of which is arranged coaxially with respect to the cylinder element, and which encloses the cylinder element, and one impact element arranged at each end of the cylinder element and in the interior thereof, characterized in that the impact elements are formed as end magnets, wherein the ends of the end magnets respectively facing the ends of the core have a magnetic polarity which is identical to the polarity of the respectively facing ends of the core.

  • Patent number: 9192542
    Abstract: The invention relates to a massage device having a device housing, an electromechanical arrangement arranged in the device housing for generating mechanical vibrations, an electronic controller for controlling the electromechanical arrangement, and a power source, connected to the electromechanical arrangement and the electronic controller. the electromechanical arrangement includes at least one coil element and at least one ferromagnetic core arranged parallel or coaxial with the coil element and a cylindrical member, wherein the at least one coil element surrounds the cylindrical member such that the at least one ferromagnetic core is coaxially guided through the cylindrical member, wherein the core has a mass m1, the mass ratio m1:m2 where m2 represents a total mass m2 of the massage device, and the mass ratio is in the range from 1:100 to 1:3. In operation, the massage device as a whole vibrates in a direction substantially parallel to a cylinder axis of the cylindrical member.
