Abstract
A garment assembly that includes a first sleeve member, a first vibration assembly associated with the first sleeve member, and a control module. The first vibration assembly includes a plurality of vibration devices that are arranged in a circle about a center point. The angular distance between each vibration device in the plurality of vibration devices is approximately the same. The control module is associated with the first sleeve member, and includes a battery. The first vibration assembly is in electrical communication with the control module.
Claims16
A garment assembly comprising:
- a first sleeve member,
- a first vibration assembly associated with the first sleeve member, wherein the first vibration assembly includes a plurality of vibration devices that are arranged in a circle about a center point, wherein the angular distance between each vibration device in the plurality of vibration devices is approximately the same, and
- a control module associated with the first sleeve member, wherein the control module includes a battery, and wherein the first vibration assembly is in electrical communication with the control module.
A garment assembly comprising:
- a first sleeve member,
- a second sleeve member disposed within the first sleeve member to form a sleeve assembly,
- a first vibration assembly positioned between the first and second sleeve members, wherein the first vibration assembly includes a first, second and third cylindrical vibration devices that are arranged in a circle about a center point, wherein the first, second and third vibration devices define first, second and third axes, respectively, wherein the first, second and third axes are co-planar, wherein the second axis is approximately 120° from the first axis, the third axis is approximately 120° from the first axis, and the third axis is approximately 120° from the second axis,
- a first vibration assembly pocket that contains the first vibration assembly, wherein the first vibration assembly pocket is defined by stitches that connect the first sleeve member to the second sleeve member and at least partially surround the plurality of vibration devices in the first vibration assembly,
- a second vibration assembly positioned between the first and second sleeve members, wherein the second vibration assembly includes a first, second and third cylindrical vibration devices that are arranged in a circle about a center point, wherein the first, second and third vibration devices define first, second and third axes, respectively, wherein the first, second and third axes are co-planar, wherein the second axis is approximately 120° from the first axis, the third axis is approximately 120° from the first axis, and the third axis is approximately 120° from the second axis,
- a second vibration assembly pocket that contains the second vibration assembly, wherein the second vibration assembly pocket is defined by stitches that connect the first sleeve member to the second sleeve member and at least partially surround the plurality of vibration devices in the second vibration assembly,
- a control module that includes a battery, at least a first electrical communication strip that electrically communicates the control module and the first and second vibration assemblies, wherein the electrical communication strip includes a plurality of wires that are associated with an elastic band,
- a tunnel that contains the first electrical communication strip, wherein the tunnel is defined by stitches that connect the first sleeve member to the second sleeve member and at least partially surround the first electrical communication strip, and
- a control module pocket that receives at least a portion of the control module, wherein the battery can be removed from the control module through the control module pocket.
