Abstract
The lacrimal duct therapy device includes a frame assembly and an actuator assembly mounted on the frame assembly. The actuator assembly includes a contact assembly and a motor assembly configured to drive the contact assembly. The contact assembly includes at least one cam member having a base portion and a lobe portion and at least one arm member. The at least one cam member is mounted on a rod member attached to the motor assembly for rotation therewith. The at least one cam member bears against a leg member pivotally attached to the frame assembly, the leg member terminating in a knob bearing against the user's lacrimal duct region. Actuation of the motor periodically pivots the leg member so that the knob massages the lacrimal duct.
Claims17
A lacrimal duct therapy device, comprising:
- a frame assembly adapted for wearing on a user's head in proximity to bilateral lacrimal duct regions;
- and
- an actuator assembly mounted on the frame assembly, the actuator assembly including:
- a motor assembly having a motor and a rotatable shaft extending from the motor;
- and
- a contact assembly having:
- an elongated rod member fixed to the motor shaft;
- at least one elongated leg member pivotally attached to the frame assembly, the at least one leg member having a free end and a knob protruding from the free end, the knob being adapted for bearing against the user's face over the lacrimal duct region;
- and
- at least one cam member attached to one of the ends of the rod member, the at least one cam member bearing against the at least one leg member, the cam member having a lobe member periodically pivoting the at least one leg member between a protracted position in which the knob applies pressure to the lacrimal duct region and a retracted position in which the pressure is relieved when the motor is actuated in order to massage the lacrimal duct.

- and
- an actuator assembly mounted on the frame assembly, the actuator assembly including:
- a motor assembly having a motor and a rotatable shaft extending from the motor;
- and
- a contact assembly having:
- an elongated rod member fixed to the motor shaft, the rod member having opposing ends;
- a first elongated leg member and a second elongated leg member pivotally attached to the frame assembly, each of the leg members having a free end and a knob protruding from the free end, the knobs being adapted for bearing against the user's face bilaterally over the lacrimal duct regions;
- and
- first and second cam members attached to the opposing ends of the rod member, respectively, the first can member bearing against the first leg member and the second cam member bearing against the second leg member, each of the cam members having a lobe member periodically pivoting the leg members between a protracted position in which the knob applies pressure to the lacrimal duct region and a retracted position in which the pressure is relieved when the motor is actuated in order to massage the lacrimal ducts bilaterally.
