  • Patent number: 9138373
    Abstract: A massage device, methods and apparatus are disclosed. Embodiments of a massage device are provided that include a first end configured to be held and manipulated by the hand of a user and a second end configured for application to a portion of the human body. The device firth includes a flexible portion connecting the first end to the second end. The flexible portion contains a source of vibrational motion and has a rigidity of an amount sufficient to transmit the vibrational motion from the source to the second end of the device. The second end may be constructed of a flexible material that allows the material to flutter and magnify the vibrational motion.

  • Publication number: 20070179413
    Abstract: A massager (12) includes an inductively chargeable battery (48), avoiding the need to deal with batteries and cords while providing a pleasant exothermic warmth. Different embodiments of sealing and skinning (13) make the massager (12) hygienically safe and fluid- and water-resistant. Sophisticated controls (50) provide the massager with the ability to respond to direct-mounted user controls (20, 22), wireless communication controls such as remote controls (30) and a plethora of other protocol-compatible devices, systems and media. A mating base (14) supports the massager (12) for inductive charging in a stable, aesthetically pleasant and safe relationship.

  • Publication number: 20060094992
    Abstract: A vibrating massager includes a housing (10), a power source (14) supported by the housing and a replaceable motor (12). The housing (10) and motor (12) are configured so that the motor may be readily replaced by a human operator without the need to replace the housing, power source, or other components. The motor (12) may be sized and configured to substitute for a conventional battery in a multi-battery device. When positioned in place of a battery in a supporting device, the motor operates to impart a vibrating motion to the supporting device.
