Publication number: 20240122361Abstract: A vibrator includes a base seat, a magnetic member, and a cover. By reciprocating motions of the magnetic member relative to a wire coil of the vibrator, a novel effect of vibrating massage is provided. The vibrator is applicable to an electric bed including a fixation frame, a moveable frame, an actuator, a support member, and a cushion pack. The actuator drives the moveable frame to move relative to the fixation frame, and the vibrator is disposed to the support member by the cushion pack. By transmitting a sound signal to the vibrator, the vibrator provides an effect of vibration or massage in synchronousness with the sound signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventor: Chuan-Hang SHIH
