Abstract
A massage apparatus comprising a main body operatively engaged to one or more massage actuators with one of the massage actuators being engaged to a malleable wire capable of being bent to any orientation and retain that bent orientation relative to the main body is disclosed. A removable battery compartment having a control panel is adapted to be operatively engaged to the main body for controlling the operation of the one or more massage actuators when the removable battery compartment is operatively engaged to the main body of the massage apparatus.
Claims10
A massage apparatus comprising:
- a main body, said main body being directly engaged with a first massage actuator, said main body being adapted to operatively engage a removable battery compartment, said removable battery compartment providing a means for controlling the operation of the massage apparatus, and a second massage actuator engaged to said main body through a malleable wire, the malleable wire being made of a smooth, linear and solid construction adapted to be bent to any orientation and retain that bent orientation relative to said main body, wherein said main body is engaged to a coupling block, said malleable wire being adapted to engage said coupling block, wherein said malleable wire defines a distal hook and a proximal hook, said distal hook being adapted to be engaged to said massage actuator and said proximal hook being adapted to be engaged to said coupling block, wherein said massage actuator includes a boss, said boss defines an opening, said opening being adapted to engage a clamping plug, wherein said distal hook is adapted to be engaged to said clamping plug for engaging said malleable wire to said massage actuator.
A method for using a massage apparatus comprising:
- a) providing a massage apparatus comprising a main body directly engaged to at least one massage actuator, said at least one massage actuator being directly engaged to said main body through a malleable wire, said malleable wire being made of a smooth, linear and solid construction adapted to be bent at to any orientation and retain that bent orientation relative to said main body, wherein said main body is engaged to a coupling block, said malleable wire being adapted to engage said coupling block, wherein said malleable wire defines a distal hook and a proximal hook, said distal hook being adapted to be engaged to said massage actuator and said proximal hook being adapted to be engaged to said coupling block, wherein said massage actuator includes a boss, said boss defines an opening, said opening being adapted to engage a clamping plug, wherein said distal hook is adapted to be engaged to said clamping plug for engaging said malleable wire to said massage actuator,
- b) applying a force to said malleable wire in order to bend said malleable wire to any bent orientation;
- and
- c) removing said force from said malleable wire such that said malleable wire retains said bent orientation.
