Abstract
A portable vibration device for soothing an infant. The portable vibration device includes a vibration pad portion, a control pad connected and a neck portion. The neck portion extends between the vibration pad and the control pad. A vibration circuit is provided to control a vibration element in the vibration pad. The circuit electrically connects the control pad to the vibration pad. A cushion is provided around the vibration pad portion and a cover is disposed around the cushion and the internal components of the vibration device.
Claims19
A portable vibration device comprising:
- a vibration pad comprising a pair of flattened round halves;
- a control pad comprising a pair of flattened round halves;
- a flexible neck portion connecting the vibration pad to the control pad, wherein the neck portion propagates vibration and is adapted to bend such that the vibration pad and the control pad can be moved from being coplanar to being parallel with each other;
- and wherein the vibration pad, the control pad, and the neck portion comprise a paddle shaped configuration;
- a power source that is self-contained in the portable vibration device;
- and
- a vibration circuit to control a vibration element in the vibration pad, the vibration circuit electrically connecting the control pad to the vibration pad.
A portable vibration device comprising:
- a cover surrounding:
- a vibration pad comprising a pair of flattened round halves;
- a control pad comprising a pair of flattened round halves;
- a propagating neck portion extending between the vibration pad and the control pad, wherein the neck portion is adapted to bend such that the vibration pad and the control pad can be moved from being coplanar to being parallel with each other;
- and wherein the vibration pad, the control pad, and the neck portion comprise a paddle shaped configuration;
- a power source that is self-contained in the portable vibration device;
- a vibration circuit to control a vibration element in the vibration pad, the circuit electrically connecting the control pad to the vibration pad;
- and
- a cushion surrounding the vibration pad.
A portable vibration device comprising:
- a body having a cover surrounding:
- a vibration pad configured as a first lobe comprising a pair of flattened round halves having a first radius, having a vibrating element disposed therein;
- a control pad configured as a second lobe comprising a pair of flattened round halves having a smaller radius than the first lobe, and having an actuator disposed therein;
- a neck portion extending between the first lobe and the second lobe, wherein the neck portion is adapted to bend such that the vibration pad and the control pad can be moved from being coplanar to being parallel with each other;
- and wherein the vibration pad, the control pad, and the neck portion comprise a paddle shaped configuration;
- a power source that is self-contained in the portable vibration device;
- a programmable vibration circuit electrically connecting the actuator to the vibrating element in the vibration pad;
- and
- a cushion disposed under the cover and surrounding at least a portion of the portable vibration device.
