Abstract
A vacuum massager includes a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion, and a cup attachment arranged to be removably received on the lower portion of the housing. An air pump is disposed within the housing in fluid communication with the cup attachment for generating suction therein, such that contact of the cup attachment with a user's skin creates a vacuum within the cup attachment. A controller is disposed within the housing in electrical communication with the air pump. The vacuum massager further includes a cooling attachment interchangeable with the cup attachment and arranged to be removably received on the lower portion of the housing in electrical communication with the controller for cooling the user's skin.
Claims15
A vacuum massager, comprising:
- a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion;
- a cup attachment arranged to be removably received on the lower portion of the housing and configured to contact a user's skin;
- an air pump disposed within the housing in fluid communication with the cup attachment for generating suction therein, whereby contact of the cup attachment with the user's skin creates a vacuum within the cup attachment;
- massage nodes disposed in the lower portion of the housing and accessible within the cup attachment for contacting the user's skin;
- a controller disposed within the housing in electrical communication with the air pump;
- and
- a cooling attachment interchangeable with the cup attachment and arranged to be removably received on the lower portion of the housing in electrical communication with the controller for cooling the user's skin,
- wherein a top portion of the cooling attachment includes a recess arranged to receive the massage nodes when the cooling attachment is received on the lower portion of the housing.
A vacuum massager, comprising:
- a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion;
- a cup attachment arranged to be removably received on the lower portion of the housing and configured to contact a user's skin;
- an air pump disposed within the housing in fluid communication with the cup attachment for generating suction therein, whereby contact of the cup attachment with the user's skin creates a vacuum within the cup attachment;
- massage nodes disposed in the lower portion of the housing and accessible within the cup attachment for contacting the user's skin:
- a controller disposed within the housing in electrical communication with the air pump;
- a strap connected to the housing and extending above the upper portion;
- a user interface disposed on a front portion of the housing in electrical communication with the controller for activating the air pump and selecting a vacuum intensity level, wherein the user interface is configured to be accessible during operation of the vacuum massager with the user's hand received between the strap and the upper portion of the housing;
- and
- a cooling attachment interchangeable with the cup attachment and arranged to be removably received on the lower portion of the housing in electrical communication with the controller for cooling the user's skin,
- wherein a top portion of the cooling attachment includes a recess arranged to receive the massage nodes when the cooling attachment is received on the lower portion of the housing.
A vacuum massager, comprising:
- a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion, the housing having a front portion and a rear portion which are joined at the upper portion;
- a cup attachment arranged to be removably received on the lower portion of the housing and configured to contact a user's skin;
- an air pump disposed within the housing in fluid communication with the cup attachment for generating suction therein, whereby contact of the cup attachment with the user's skin creates a vacuum within the cup attachment;
- massage nodes disposed in the lower portion of the housing and accessible within the cup attachment for contacting the user's skin;
- and
- a controller disposed within the housing in electrical communication with the air pump,
- wherein the rear portion of the housing has a different contour and is constructed from a different material than the front portion to facilitate gripping of the upper portion of the housing during operation of the vacuum massager;
- and
- a cooling attachment interchangeable with the cup attachment and arranged to be removably received on the lower portion of the housing in electrical communication with the controller for cooling the user's skin,
- wherein a top portion of the cooling attachment includes a recess arranged to receive the massage nodes when the cooling attachment is received on the lower portion of the housing.
