Patent number: 11963920Abstract: A vibration appliance includes a vibration-isolation structure which substantially reduces vibration felt by the user at the handle. The vibration motor is mounted to a vibration plate which carries the massage node. The vibration plate floats within the vibration appliance housing, being suspended by a flexible, elastomer membrane having contours such as curves or folds in it that provide freedom of movement of the vibration plate relative to the housing to which the flexible membrane is mounted. This arrangement can be thought of as the motor and vibration node being mounted on a flexible diaphragm that can move freely as if mounted to the housing by a bellows-like arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Pado, Inc.Inventors: Steven Lee, Alejandro Garfio, Travis Frye

Publication number: 20220175611Abstract: Systems and methods described herein relate to a cup attachment for an electric percussive massager. The cup attachment may be configured for use in performing cupping therapy on a recipient using the massager. The cup attachment may include a cup region and an inner frame. The cup attachment may be made out of a flexible material. The inner frame may be made out of a rigid material. The cup attachment may include a ring portion which may deliver a direct-force cupping therapy when applied to a recipient. The cup attachment may also include a cavity which may deliver an indirect-force, air-pressure-based, cupping therapy when applied to a recipient.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: June 9, 2022Applicant: Pado, Inc.Inventors: Steven Lee, Alejandro Garfio

Publication number: 20210322257Abstract: A massage head for use on a percussion massager in order to provide a gentle and body-contour-following massage, includes a plurality of flexible arms extending radially away from the reciprocation axis, and a soft dome made of hollow silicone rubber, soft foam, or the like at the end of each arm. Centrally located among the massage features and on the reciprocation axis is an additional soft dome that is recessed from the massage features, and contacts the skin of the subject being massaged in order to prevent the hard frame of the massage head from “bottoming out” on the subject when the arms flex too much. The massage head also has a ball joint that allows the massage head to pivot relative to the reciprocation axis, allowing the massage head to more closely follow the body contours of the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2021Publication date: October 21, 2021Applicant: Pado, Inc.Inventors: Steven Lee, Alejandro Garfio

Publication number: 20210283005Abstract: A percussive massage appliance has a general Y-shape, with first and second handle portions being suitable for being held by first and second hands, respectively, of a user, with the percussive massage head reciprocating along an axis that lies in a major arc defined by the two handle portions. One use for the device is so that a user can grip the device with both hands while delivering a percussive massage to his own lower back muscles. The device has a rotation mechanism such that the user can rotate the reciprocation axis through an arc of about 120 degrees relative to the handles, and an extension handle mates with one of the handle portions, providing great versatility to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2021Publication date: September 16, 2021Applicant: Pado, Inc.Inventors: Steven Lee, Alejandro Garfio, Travis Frye

The device has a rotation mechanism such that the user can rotate the reciprocation axis through an arc of about 120 degrees relative to the handles. The massager has a side-mounted brushless motor that drives the reciprocating output shaft through a crank wheel, a crank pin, and a connecting rod, without any gears therebetween. Batteries can be located in each of the two handles, providing a large battery capacity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Applicant: Pado, Inc.Inventors: Steven Lee, Alejandro Garfio
