Abstract
A pressure-point attachment designed to slip over the vibrating head of a hand-held electrical vibrator. The attachment is used to apply point-pressure combined with vibration to body pressure points that correspond to body organs, nerves and glands as disclosed in the field of reflexology massaging. The attachment is comprised of a circular disk having a conical finger extending upwardly from the center of the disk. The finger is covered with a resilient cup that is designed to allow the user to provide the proper firmness to the body pressure-points. Around the periphery of the disk is a ledge that has a plurality of gripping tabs that allow the disk to be securely held to the vibrating head of the vibrator.
Claims2
A pressure point attachment designed to fit onto the vibrating head of an electrical massager where said attachment comprises:
- (a) a circular disk having a front surface and a back surface,
- (b) said front surface having a conical projection beginning on it's surface and extending outwardly,
- (c) a resilient pressure point cover adhesively secured on said conical projection,
- (d) means for selectively releasably attaching said disk to the vibrating head of said electrical vibrator for massaging selected body pressure points
- (e) the means for attaching said disk to the vibrating head of said electrical vibrator consisting of a ledge extending downwardly at 90 degrees from substantially the entire periphery of said back surface of said disk and said ledge having a plurality of flexible gripping tabs thereupon for gripping the vibrating head,
- (f) said vibrating head having a circumferential edge including means to retain said tabs on said edge, and
- (g) said tabs further comprising a longitudinal ridge located on the inside surface of said tabs providing gripping pressure to said means to retain.
