Product packaging

A hand held massage unit used for therapeutic purposes such as to loosen and mobilize bronchial secretions in patients, to improve blood circulation, and to relax muscles. The massage unit includes a vibration-free motor unit having a rotating output shaft directly connected to a vibratory head assembly. The rotational motion of the output shaft is transformed into oscillating orbital motion about the shaft centerline in the adapter portion of the vibratory head assembly through an offset cam integrally formed as part of a counterbalanced eccentric. Counterweights within the eccentric reduce the vibrations transmitted to the user's hand and isolate the oscillating vibration of the vibratory head assembly. Undesired rotation of the vibratory head assembly is prevented by a mounting construction between the oscillating adapter components and a stationary portion of the vibratory head assembly secured to the motor unit.

Portable massager

A facial and body massage apparatus for skin cleansing and exfoliation is disclosed as having an applicator with a handle and a skin cleansing/exfoliation element for contacting the face or body of a user. The skin cleansing/exfoliation element is constructed to rotate about an axis aligned with the handle while also orbiting in a path about the aforementioned rotational axis to re-position the skin cleansing/exfoliation element continuously about the rotational axis during rotation thereof. The method of the present invention includes applying a continuously-rotating skin cleansing/exfoliation element to the facial or body skin of a user, and simultaneously continuously-orbiting same in an orbiting path about the axis of rotation of the skin cleansing/exfoliation element, to provide maximum surface area contact while reducing heat and skin irritation as well as uneven wear of the skin cleansing/exfoliation element.

Facial and body massage apparatus and method

The unit has a power source with a shaft connected to a cable extending to a massage applicator to rotate an eccentric therein, the cable having at both ends drive keys in sliding engagement with the motor and applicator shafts which shafts have accommodating bores to slidingly receive the cable drive keys to thus accommodate tension and compression exerted upon the cable during driving engagement, with a sheath surrounding the cable and having swivel couplings at the sheath ends, the sheath having at each end ferrules connected to the power unit and the applicator by nuts, and having a high strength bearing of stronger material than the applicator near the eccentric, with the applicator having watertight seals, and the applicator structure providing a passageway for the eccentric drive shaft and a ferrule therein, the power unit having a carrying handle receiving and releasably locking the applicator allowing a hand to grasp and carry both the power unit handle and the applicator, with the applicator rear having a textile latch to lock with a belt for holding the applicator.

Portable massage unit

A deep breathing exercise device includes a belt member to be positioned around the lower chest wall, with the belt ends joined by a plastic case, one end of the belt being mounted to the case by a negatively-variable-resistance leaf spring permitting limited withdrawal of the belt end from within the case, the case having a plurality of LEDs and a chime to indicate movement of the belt from within the case as the circumferential length of the belt system increases in response to an inhaling motion of the wearer.

Incentive spirometer

A portable adjustable body tilt board includes a pair of panel members which are joined along an edge by a hinge and a nylon strap wrapped at least partially around the panel members, one end of the strap being fixed to a panel member and the other end of the strap having Velcro.TM. fastening material to selectively fasten the strap for various angular orientations between the panels. Once secured, the tilt board may be supported from any surface and used to position a human body for therapy.
