Abstract: A handheld device for applying mechanical vibration to a body portion of an individual to treat a condition of the individual, includes: a housing; a cantilever beam having a first portion accommodated in the housing, and a second portion that is moveable relative to the housing, wherein the second portion is configured to apply the mechanical vibration to the body portion; and a motor in the housing, the motor configured to oscillate the second portion of the cantilever beam at an oscillation frequency.

Abstract: In the case of a prior art massage device, an adhesive pad is used to hold a vibrating motor on a human body. Therefore, there is a problem in that it is difficult, while transmitting vibrations, to knead or pinch a region being massaged. Disclosed is a massage device which massages a human body by transmitting vibrations to the same. This massage device is provided with vibrating motors which generate vibrations, and a pair of gloves which are worn on hands that apply massage and each of which is equipped with at least one of the vibrating motors.

Abstract: A multifunction device for selective application to the body of a vertebrate is disclosed. The device includes an electromagnetic generator supported by an bobbin like member which has a bore therethrough for reciprocally receiving an elongated magnetizable member. A permanent magnet is disposed near one end of the bore. The magnetic poles of the permanent magnet are arranged to magnetically attract the elongated magnetizable member. When energized, the electromagnetic generator produces a magnetic field magnetically polarizing the elongated magnetizable member establishing a repelling magnetic force with the permanent magnet which is additive to the electromagnetic force caused by the electromagnetic generator moving the elongated magnetizable member away from the permanent magnet.

Abstract: This invention concerns a massage vibrator for the relief of various aches and pains in the head, face and body by means of stimulating energy channels and parts of the body surface. It has a central body (11), enclosing a vibration generator (16), at least one pair of springy arms (14) on one part of the central body and an active terminal head (15) at the end of each of these said arms, The terminal heads of each pair of arms are applied to the area to be stimulated and the vibrations produced by the vibrator are transmitted, through the springy arms, to the terminal heads (15) in order to exercise a massaging vibratory action at the point desired.

Abstract: A vibrator comprising an engagement face (11) which is adapted to engage a part of a body, and which is driven by an electric motor (18). The vibrator moreover comprises a housing (1) comprising a shaft (9) connected with the motor, and the vibrator has a frequency regulating device and an amplitude regulating device (2) for regulating the frequency and the amplitude, respectively, of the upward and downward movement of the engagement face. The vibrator is characterized in that the amplitude regulating device (2) comprises an inclined shaft (15) in extension of the shaft (9) connected with the motor, said inclined shaft being slidably mounted in a conversion element (14) having a through hole.

Abstract: A resilient covering panel is adapted to be placed upon the back of a user's hand. The forward portion of the covering member is divided into a pair of extensions, one being adapted to be placed adjacent the top of the user's middle finger, the second being adapted to be placed adjacent the top of the user's thumb. The rearward portion of the covering panel is integral with straps to be secured about the user's wrist. First and second direct current, vibrating motors are mounted within respective motor housings and are disposed through and coupled to the middle finger and thumb extensions. Securing members are affixed to the lower surfaces of each of the motor housings into which the user's middle finger and thumb may be inserted to secure the extensions in place. A pair of vibration controllers are mounted within a controller enclosure adjacent the base of the user's fingers.
