A drive mechanism for moving the piston and massage head is also included.
Claims17
A percussive massager comprising:
- a housing;
- a piston having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end of the piston having a bore;
- a motor operatively connected to the proximal end of the piston, wherein the motor is configured to cause the piston to reciprocate along a longitudinal axis at a first speed and a second speed;
- wherein the first speed and the second speed are each greater than or equal to 600 strokes per minute;
- wherein the first speed and the second speed are each less than or equal to 3600 strokes per minute;
- a drive mechanism that determines a predetermined stroke length of the piston;
- and
- a quick-connect system comprising the distal end of the piston and a first massaging head,
- wherein the quick-connect system allows a proximal end of the first massaging head to be inserted into or removed from the bore while the piston reciprocates,
- wherein the motor has an output shaft that is configured to rotate about a rotation axis, and
- wherein the drive mechanism comprises:
- a flywheel operatively connected to the output shaft of the motor to rotate about a flywheel axis, the output shaft extending into the flywheel along the flywheel axis;
- and
- a crank pin extending from the flywheel, the crank pin being operatively connected to the piston.
