## Abstract

A flexible vibrating module with flexible radiating arms outwardly projecting around the module, with each arm having an associated coin motor which can optionally be operated at high frequency or low frequency or pulsing frequency, is shown in combination with a wrap having a snap in flexible grommet for the module to consistently orient properly the module with respect to a patient's muscles or joints.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A vibration wrap, comprising:
a vibration module having a housing,
a rechargeable battery with an on/off switch in said housing,
a plurality of flexible arms radiating outwardly from said housing,
each arm terminating in a coin motor which is electrically connected to said rechargeable battery;
a compression joint wrap with a click in-click out grommet secured to said wrap;
said grommet being adapted to removably secure said module housing to said wrap.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The vibration wrap of claim 1 wherein the compression joint wrap is selected from the group consisting of gloves, forearm wraps, upper arm wraps, shoulder wraps, thigh wraps, shin wraps, calf wraps, knee wraps, ankle wraps and lower back wraps.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The vibration wrap of claim 2 wherein the on/off switch as a high frequency vibration setting, a low vibration frequency setting and a pulsing setting.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The vibration wrap of claim 1 wherein said plurality of flexible arms are a silicone material capable of transferring vibrations.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The vibration wrap of claim 1 wherein the click-in click-out grommet is sewn into said wrap.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The vibration wrap of claim 1 wherein the coin motors are embedded in the flexible arms, and have a bottom side, which is a textured surface.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The vibration wrap of claim 1 wherein the vibration module is comprised of a top portion and a bottom portion joined to create a sealed unit.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The vibration wrap of claim 7 wherein the top portion is a flexible silicone polymer.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The vibration wrap of claim 8 wherein the bottom portion is a thermoplastic elastomer.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The vibration wrap of claim 1 which has six flexible arms.

### Claim 11

A vibration pad, comprising:
a vibration module having a housing;
said housing having means to attach to an orthopedic wrap;
a rechargeable battery with an on/off switch in said housing;
a plurality of flexible arms radiating outwardly from said housing; and
each of said arms terminating in a coin motor which is electrically connected to said battery.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The vibration pad of claim 11 wherein said rechargeable battery is a lithium ion battery.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The vibration pad of claim 12 wherein said housing includes a printed circuit board, electrically connected to said lithium ion battery and said coin motors.

### Claim 14

The vibration pad which has an upper or top pad portion and a bottom pad portion which are fixed together to cover said coin motors, said rechargeable battery, and a printed circuit board.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The vibration pad of claim 11 wherein the on/off switch has a high frequency vibration setting, a low vibration frequency setting, and a pulsing setting.

### Claim 16 (depends on 11)

The vibration pad of claim 11 wherein said plurality of flexible arms are a silicone material capable of transferring vibrations.

### Claim 17 (depends on 11)

The vibration pad of claim 11 wherein the coin motors are embedded in the flexible arms, and have a bottom side, which is a textured surface.

### Claim 18 (depends on 11)

The vibration pad of claim 11 wherein the top portion is a flexible silicone polymer.

### Claim 19 (depends on 11)

The vibration pad of claim 11 wherein the bottom portion is a thermoplastic elastomer.

### Claim 20 (depends on 11)
