An awakening system with means adapted to relax tense muscles, comprising:
- a first electrical unit and a second electrical unit connected theretogether through an elongated connecting means;
- said first electrical unit comprising a housing having therein a timing mechanism provided with a movable lever means actuated thereby, said timing mechanism receiving a current for operation thereof from an external current source, a current-switching means disposed in said housing and mechanically connected to said movable lever means for actuation thereby and electrically connected to said elongated connecting means;
- said timing mechanism having means adapted to set the timing of said timing mechanism to any predetermined time of the day;
- said second electrical unit having a housing containing therein an electrical circuit and means for producing resonant pulsations disposed in said electrical circuit and intimately connected to said housing;
- an electric source disposed within the electric circuit of said means for producing resonant pulsations and connected thereto for providing an energization current transmitted thereto through said current-switching means, said means for producing resonant pulsations comprising, in the circuit thereof, a vibratory means and a current interrupter means;
- a current bypass means is connected in the circuit of said means for producing resonant pulsations in electrically parallel relation to said current interrupter means;
- said current-switching means actuated by said movable lever means is provided with means to electrically connect and disconnect the current to said means for producing resonant pulsations in the housing of said second electrical unit;
- a current control means having a current-channeling means is disposed in one wall of the housing of said first electrical unit and connected in the electrical circuit of said means for producing resonant pulsations and is adapted to switch the current supplied thereto from one of interrupted mode of operation through said current interrupter means to one of continuous mode of operation by disconnecting the current in said current interrupter means and channeling said current through said current bypass means into said means for producing resonant pulsations;
- said means for producing resonant pulsations is adapted to be placed under the pillow of a sleeper desirous of waking up at a predetermined time of the day, whereby when said current-switching means located within the housing of said timing mechanism is actuated by the movable lever means of said timing mechanism at the predetermined time of the day to which said timing mechanism has been set to actuate said movable lever means, said means for producing resonant pulsations receives a current from the electric source, disposed within the circuit thereof, through said current interrupter means and produces repeated resonant pulsations which are transmitted through the pillow to the sleeper, and, when said current control means is switched in a manner to electrically isolate said current interrupter means from the circuit of said means for producing resonant pulsations, said latter means receives through said current bypass means a continuous current transmitted thereto from said electric source in the circuit thereof and resonants with a steady, recurring vibratory pulsations, which when transmitted to the tired muscles of a person produces in the muscles microcontractions and relaxations and thereby soothes the muscles thereof to a relaxed physical condition.
