Mounting for vibrating motor

A vibrator for furniture comprises vibrator motors 30 each mounted to a member 22 for transmitting vibrations, and concentrating the massage energy on specific parts of the user's body. The two long members for the respective motors are parallel to one another and to the frame structure 20, 21. In one form two rigid energy coupling rods 32 are associated with central vibrating motor 30, underlying the user contacting surface. A vibrator controller supplies the two motors with 60 Hertz pulsed D.C. current which may also be amplitude modulated at approximately 10-30 cycles per minute, with the modulation supplied to one motor 180 DEG out of phase with the other motor so that the user experiences the sensation of a moving wave. The user simultaneously receives a 10-30 cycle per minute moving tactile stimulation, and a 60 Hertz audio wave which is amplitude modulated at 10-30 cycles per minute. ...

Vibrating mattresses

The present invention relates to vibrating mattresses. A vibrating mattress is generally aimed at encouraging a child to sleep. The mattress of the present invention employs sound-activated vibration wherein vibration is automatically initiated once detected sound reaches a threshold level - thereby eliminating the need for manual operation of a mattress during the night. Conventional vibrating mattresses are controlled manually using switches located on or around the mattress. These switches can, in some cases, be difficult to access - if the mattress is used within a cot, for example. Sound-activated vibrating mattresses have previously been proposed. The present invention provides an improved mattress that enables a sound threshold to be selected by a user in order to meet the requirements of a particular child or a particular situation. The present invention further provides for an irregular pattern of vibration within a mattress.

Massager

The massager comprises a plurality of massaging elements (25) movably fastened to a housing and driven by a transmission mechanism to rub and knead the muscles and joints, the said mechanism comprising a worm (20) driven by a motor (22) to rotate at least one pair of worm wheels (16; 17; 18; 19), the said wheels being bilaterally meshed with the worm and each wheel having a hole (24) on a top surface thereof at an eccentric location for receiving a respective massaging element. The housing may be of hand-held form a shown or may comprise the back of a seat or a mattress. ...

Massaging apparatus

A massaging apparatus comprises a pair of massaging wheels obliquely and eccentrically attached to a main shaft, a shifting mechanism for shifting the massaging wheels and main shaft in the direction of the length of a chairback rest or a bed, and a spacing changing mechanism for changing the spacing between the massaging wheels. The apparatus is designed to detect the position of the pair of massaging wheels and the spacing therebetween. It further comprises position selecting switches associated with the neck, shoulders, back and waist of the human body. When anyone of these position selecting switches is operated, the shifting mechanism and the spacing changing mechanism as well as the rotative direction of the main shaft are automatically controlled in accordance with the detected shifted position and spacing of the massaging wheels. ...

A layer of sound- and vibration-absorbing material (20) is fitted between the housing (10) and the board (22). ...

Manipulation treatment apparatus

Manipulation treatment apparatus comprising a force application means 20 with oscillating drive means is fixed relative to a manual treatment table 3 to cyclically apply and release a force to a contact means adapted to contact a portion of a patient, such as a belt 51 or plate 26 for manipulating the patient, or oscillating plate 38 for massaging across soft tissues or reciprocating piston / applicator (31, Figure 5) for pushing into soft tissue. A load cell, such as a strain gauge connected between the belt 51 and flexible cord 50, measures the force being applied, the output of which is used to control the timing and amount of force applied during each cycle. The force, cycle frequency and treatment time can be longer than the practitioner could reasonably carry out. The apparatus may be switched to a learning mode in which the load cell detects and records the force and frequency applied by the practitioner and then carries it out in treatment mode.

Spinal therapy apparatus

A spinal therapy apparatus includes one or more manipulating assemblies. In some examples a first manipulating member is arranged to engage a spine at a first vertebral area between a spinous process and a transverse process on a first side of a spine and a second manipulating member is arranged to engage the spine at a second vertebral area between a spinous process and a transverse process on the first side of the spine. The first and second manipulating members are coupled together at their proximal ends to permit the first and second manipulating members to be driven simultaneously and the coupling permits motion of the first and second manipulating members relative to one another in an axial direction. In other examples a drive system is adapted to drive first and second manipulating members simultaneously and independently. The disclosure also relates to a spinal therapy bed including such manipulating assemblies and methods of using and training spinal therapy devices.

Pressure-ulcer-prevention dynamic cushion

This invented multiple-phase dynamic cushion comprises a frame, at least a driving source, at least a transmission assembly, and clusters of plural strips interleaved in parallel. Taking a two-phase embodiment as an example, the two-phase strips interleave with each other, in parallel, to form the cushion's surface and alternate their tensions in turn; when one phase's strips periodically tighten to support the user's body, the other phase's strips will loosen, allowing the user's body covered by the loosened strips to take a rest, averting a pressure-ulcer risk. The driving source is energized by an altering energy, making the two strip groups alternate in loosening and tightening states periodically in turn. This invention can be converted into a portable dynamic chair when the four holes on the bottom of its four corners are inserted with legs; it can also be converted into a dynamic support for a lying human body.
