Abstract
The invention relates to a muscle stimulation device comprising a handle bar with a first and a second end, a motor which is arranged in a cavity in the handle bar and is coupled by means of a motor shaft to at least one eccentric body in order to set the muscle stimulation device vibrating by an unbalance of the eccentric body. According to the invention the eccentric body/ies has/have a common center of mass, which is at a different distance from the first end of the handle bar than it is from the second end of the handle bar. The invention furthermore relates to an exchangeable head for such a muscle stimulation device.
Claims26
A muscle stimulation device comprising:
- a handle bar with a first end and a second end;
- at least one eccentric body arranged in the handle bar;
- a motor shaft extending through the at least one eccentric body such that an axis of the motor shaft is offset with respect to an axis of the eccentric body, the axis of the motor shaft and the axis of the at least one eccentric body extending parallel to one another;
- and
- a motor arranged in the handle bar, the motor being coupled via the motor shaft to the at least one eccentric body in order to vibrate the muscle stimulation device upon a rotation of the eccentric body,
- wherein the motor is arranged between the first end of the handle bar and the at least one eccentric body, and
- wherein the at least one eccentric body is arranged only between the second end of the handle bar and the motor, and
- wherein there is no eccentric body attached to a motor shaft that is arranged between the motor and the first end of the handle bar,
- wherein a common center of a total mass of all eccentric bodies arranged in the handle bar is at a different distance from the first end of the handle bar than it is from the second end of the handle bar such that the total mass of the eccentric bodies is not symmetric with a center of the muscle stimulation device.
