Abstract
An improved therapeutic vibration device using dual motors and rotating discs having eccentric weights. The rotating discs have slightly different effective diameters and are mutually frictionally connected by either providing the rims thereof with a different number of gear teeth or with an elastomeric or other friction material. A vibrational device having such separated motors can be enclosed in a cushion or pillow for convenient use by an individual.
Claims4
A vibration producing device for providing an impulse at a beat frequency comprising:
- (a) a common support structure;
- (b) two electrically driven motors, the housing of each motor connected to said common support structure;
- (c) a cylindrical disc axially attached to the shaft of each motor for rotation therewith, the rims of said discs in operative engagement with each other, said discs having effective diameters differing from each other by a predetermined amount;
- (d) an eccentric weight attached to the shaft of each motor.
