Abstract
A massager providing massaging frequencies in the range of 75 to 250 hertz, and preferably 100 to 200 Hertz is provided. The massager includes a motor for generating rotational motion, an applicator head having multiple treatment surfaces, and a shaft attached to the motor and applicator head for translating the rotational motion to the applicator head. The massager also includes a restraining mechanism attached to the applicator head. The restraining mechanism is configured to prevent the applicator head from rotating, thereby generating a circular motion in each of the treatment surface. The circular motion has diameters in a range of 0.1 mm to 5 mm and a preferred frequency of 100-200 completed circular movements per second.
Claims17
A massager comprising:
- a motor for generating rotational motion;
- an applicator head comprising a plurality of treatment surfaces;
- at least one shaft attached to said motor and said applicator head for translating said rotational motion to the applicator head;
- a restraining mechanism attached to said applicator head, wherein the restraining mechanism comprises a plurality of substantially elongate pins having distal ends attached to the applicator head and proximal ends housed within sockets positioned on a portion of the massager, and wherein the restraining mechanism is configured to prevent the applicator head from rotating, thereby generating vibrational motion in said applicator head and a substantially orbital motion in said plurality of treatment surfaces;
- and a cylindrical component that surrounded the at least one shaft, wherein the cylindrical component comprises a plurality of channels or grooves that are configured to accommodate the plurality of substantially elongate pins.
A massager comprising:
- a motor for generating rotational motion;
- an applicator head comprising a plurality of treatment surfaces;
- a rotating shaft attached to said motor and an eccentric shaft attached to said applicator head for translating said rotational motion to the applicator head to a substantially circular motion;
- a bearing mount assembly positioned concentrically relative to at least one of the rotating shaft or eccentric shaft and proximal to the applicator head;
- a restraining mechanism attached to said applicator head, wherein the restraining mechanism comprises a cylindrical component positioned around said bearing mount assembly and proximal to said applicator head and wherein the cylindrical component comprises a plurality of protrusions adapted to have a non-friction fit within complementary recesses located in a base of the applicator head, and wherein the restraining mechanism is configured to prevent the applicator head from rotating, thereby generating a substantially circular motion in said plurality of treatment surfaces and wherein the substantially circular motion of said plurality of treatment surfaces has a diameter in a range of 0.1 millimeters (mm) to 5 mm and a frequency of 100 -200 circular movements per second.
