  • Publication number: 20180318581
    Abstract: A device for performing electrotherapeutic massage on the human head, neck, and shoulders includes an inner core structure, at least four protruding nodules, plural electrical wires, and an outer covering. The inner core structure has a central horizontal accommodating opening for accommodating the neck and plural horizontal cushion openings. The horizontal accommodating opening matches the curvature and alignment of the human cervical spine and the kyphotic curvature of the thoracic vertebrae. Each protruding nodule is made of an electrically conductive fabric and sewn to the wall of the corresponding horizontal cushion opening in order to deliver the electrical nerve stimulation pulses generated by an electrotherapeutic signal generator to the corresponding body portion, thereby relaxing the nerve and muscle groups therein. The electrical wires electrically connect the protruding nodules to the electrotherapeutic signal generator.

  • Patent number: 9192238
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a back support plate, which is integrally formed of plastic and includes an upper portion with an inner-side having a vertical curvature and a horizontal curvature that respectively conform to the curvature of human thoracic vertebrae and a horizontal curvature of the human back corresponding in position to the thoracic vertebrae, and a lower portion with an inner-side having a vertical curvature and a horizontal curvature that respectively conform to the curvature of human lumbar vertebrae and a horizontal curvature of the human back corresponding in position to the lumbar vertebrae. The two inner-sides are protrudingly provided with a plurality of protruding knobs which correspond in position to two lateral sides of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae and have upwardly and downwardly decreasing widths, respectively, such that the joining section between the two portions extends to the two lateral sides of the human back.

  • Patent number: 8777882
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide an air traction belt structure, which includes an inner inflatable traction belt having an air valve thereon for communicating with an inflatable space therein and, and an outer solid support belt having a smaller width than the inner inflatable traction belt and movably surrounding outside of the inner inflatable traction belt. Since a first end of the outer solid support belt can pass through a through hole formed on the inner inflatable traction belt and extend to an inner side of the inner inflatable traction belt, a second end of the outer solid support belt can easily pass through a fixing ring provided on the first end of the outer solid support belt and be pulled by a user, for firmly tightening both the inflated inner inflatable traction belt and the outer solid support belt onto the user's waist at the same time.
