  • Publication number: 20230398034
    Abstract: A percussive massaging device has a base which includes a tool receiver and a piston for providing percussive action to a massage tool. The massage tool includes an attachment for selectively attaching to the tool receiver using one of a key and keyway system and a magnetic system. The attachment post further includes a press-fit seal or a magnetic mechanism for further securing the attachment post to the tool receiver. The massage tool further includes a tool head which may be non-rotating or is capable of rotating in one or more directions during use while simultaneously providing a percussive massage to a user.

  • Patent number: 11793713
    Abstract: An adjustable stroke length percussion massage device includes a stroke arm connected to a piston which is connected to a massage tool for providing a massage to a user. The stroke arm is secured to a crank pin of a crank mechanism which includes a rotatably connected crank housing and crank base, the crank pin being movably secured between the crank housing and crank base such that the crank pin moves from a first end to a second end of a sliding groove located in the cam housing when a rotation direction of the single unit is reversed by a motor. When the crank pin is moved from the first end to the second end of the sliding groove, a stroke length of the piston is changed.

  • Patent number: 11672728
    Abstract: A selectable impact tip system for use with a percussion massager includes multiple flexible and interchangeable massage tips having variable internal geometries. The variable internal geometries of the flexible and interchangeable tips cause different impact forces during use when used with the reciprocating piston and the removable and hollow shaft of the percussion massager.

  • Patent number: 11253423
    Abstract: An adjustable stroke percussion massage device includes a stroke arm having a first end connected to a percussion massage head. A pin extends outward at a second end of the stroke arm. A cam has a cam slot formed into the cam such that the pin fits into the cam slot. The cam slot has a length, where the pin is movable from a first end of the cam slot to a second end of the cam slot, where the pin is a first distance from a rotation axis of the cam when positioned at the first end of the cam slot, and the pin is a second distance from the rotation axis of the cam when positioned at the second end of the cam slot. A motor is operable to rotate the cam about the rotation axis, moving the stroke arm along a vibration axis.

  • Patent number: 10508372
    Abstract: Systems and methods for pre-tensioning backing materials of a tufted product. The systems can include at least first and second tensioning assemblies and a guide assembly. Each tensioning assembly can have a backing supply subassembly for supporting a backing material and a roller subassembly for effecting movement of the backing material at a desired tension. The roller subassembly can include a driven roller for pulling the backing material from the backing supply subassembly, and a compensator for receiving the backing material from the driven roller. The guide assembly can simultaneously receive the tensioned backing materials from the tensioning assemblies and position the backing materials in contact with each other for delivery to a tufting machine at the desired tension.
