Publication number: 20030004442Abstract: A care or treatment attachment for a foot care apparatus, comprising at least one movable care or treatment element as well as a coupling piece, with which the attachment can be connected to the movement of a motor-driven driving shaft 8 inside the foot care apparatus 6. The attachment comprises a housing which is secured in position on the housing so that driving movement transmitted from the driving shaft does not move the housing. A coupling piece is movable mounted in housing and is supported movably corresponding to the driving movement transmitted from driving shaft of the foot care apparatus. The coupling piece at the driven side drives a power converter for the conversion of the driving movement into a differing movement which powers the one or more movable care or treatment attachments.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2002Publication date: January 2, 2003Inventor: Klaus Hafemann

Patent number: 6494851Abstract: A relaxation station for inducing user relaxation includes a couch having a frame and a reclining surface attached to said frame for accommodating a user in a reclining position. The frame has a plurality of preferably pairs of massage grippers connected to and extending generally upward therefrom. These massage gripper pairs are elongated members projecting generally upward from the frame and the gripper pairs are capable of moving reciprocally between an open and a closed position to simulate finger manipulated massage. In a closed position, they cradle and contact the body or a portion thereof of a user. These massage gripper pairs having motive actuators for producing movement between said open and said closed positions, such as scissors extenders or flexible cables The massage gripper elongated members produce massage motions in at least one massage contact pad.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2000Date of Patent: December 17, 2002Inventor: James Becher

Publication number: 20020188235Abstract: A vibrating oral sex enhancement device comprising a mouthpiece and a controller. The mouthpiece includes a retaining means that retains a vibrator that is connected to the controller by electrical conductors, whereas the controller comprises a battery compartment, a battery and a switch and functions to power the vibrator. In use, a surface of the mouthpiece adjacent the vibrator contacts and imparts vibrations to the user's tongue, which results in increased sexual pleasure to the user's partner during oral sex. The device also includes stabilizing means that function to keep the mouthpiece properly and comfortably positioned in the user's mouth such that vibrations are optimally imparted to the tongue. In certain embodiments the stabilizing means comprise integral features of the mouthpiece itself.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2001Publication date: December 12, 2002Inventor: Wayne E. Manska
