    Abstract: The present invention provides a hand-held massage assembly that is modular and allows a user the option of using a roller mechanized massager with or without a handle. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the hand-held massage assembly includes a roller mechanized massager having an electro-mechanical connection. A handle is connectable to the electro-mechanical connection on the roller mechanized massager by a first electro-mechanical connection at one end thereof. The handle also has a second electro-mechanical connection at an opposite end. The first electro-mechanical connection and second electro-mechanical connection of the handle are electrically coupled to each other. A power cord having an electro-mechanical connection is coupled to the second electro-mechanical connection on the handle.

  • Publication number: 20070032150
    Abstract: An architectural fabric is claimed where the tension members are strips. These strips comprise a tension member and a polymer matrix. The matrix is preferably of the thermoplastic type and is preferably chemically attached to the polymer used for the membrane. However, mechanical fastening of the strip to the membrane or a combination of chemical and mechanical fastening is not excluded. The advantages are that such a strip is better weather resistant, offers better strength to weight ratios and gives a larger contact surface to the membrane.
