Abstract: An adapter plug for a power bank includes a housing, electrical connectors, prongs, and an electrical circuit. The electrical connector associated with the housing and are configured to contact an electrical connector of a power bank. The prongs are configured to engage an electrical wall outlet. The electrical circuit is disposed within the housing and electrically connects the prongs to the electrical connectors. The prongs, electrical circuit, and the electrical connector of the housing is configured to deliver electrical power from the electrical wall outlet to the power bank to recharge a battery of the power bank when the electrical connector of the housing contacts the electrical connector of the power bank and when the prongs engage the electrical wall outlet.

Abstract: A power bank system includes a packaging container and a power bank. The packaging container defines an internal cavity and has an external receiving surface. The power bank has a battery, a primary coil, and a sensor. The power bank is positioned within the internal cavity such that the primary coil and the sensor are disposed proximate to an opposing side of the external receiving surface. The external receiving surface is configured to receive a portable device. The power bank is configured to deliver power from the battery to the portable device wirelessly via the primary coil and though the external receiving surface in response to the sensor detecting the portable device being positioned proximate the external receiving surface.

Abstract: A body massager includes a portable housing including a backrest and a seat support. A longitudinal guide is provided in the backrest cooperating with a carriage for translation of the carriage within the backrest and a motor drives the carriage along the guide. A pair of massage members are supported by the carriage and extend from the backrest for imparting a rolling massage effect upon the back of the user. A second motor drives the massage members for generating a rotary kneading massage effect or for adjusting a width of the rolling massage effect.

Abstract: A massage apparatus is provided with a housing, and a substrate mounted for rotation to the housing and driven by a motor. A massage node and a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heater are mounted to the substrate. A pair of contacts and a pair of brushes maintain electrical engagement of the PTC heater with the housing during rotation of the substrate. Another embodiment provides an infrared light emitting diode (LED) beneath the massage node in electrical communication with the housing due to the contacts and brushes. Another embodiment provides a method for imparting a heated massage effect by providing a massage apparatus with a message mechanism, a PTC heater and a plurality of infrared LEDs. A massage effect is imparted and a warm-up operation is initiated of the PTC heater and the LEDs. The warm-up operation of the PTC heater is discontinued upon the massage mechanism reaching a predefined temperature.
