Therapy patches provide portable massaging devices that can also deliver topical treatment chemicals. These patches can be adhered to the skin via an adhesive layer that is also impregnated with the treatment chemical. Kits are also provided to create a string of linked patches that can be used together or separately, and a microcontroller controls the vibration of the device for optimized massaging effects.

Therapy patch

Therapy patches are disclosed which are designed to deliver vibration and heat (or cold) to human skin so as to provide muscle relief. These patches have a chemical pouch that generates heat or cold upon initiation. They also have a motor and battery to provide a vibration source. Forms of the invention have an adhesive so that the patch can be attached to the skin (and thus need not be manually held in place during use). Kits are also provided in which the motor and battery can be used with a string of linked, severable replacement pouches. Methods of using these patches are also disclosed.

A material includes a first film layer that carries an electric charge, a second film layer secured to the first film layer to form a pocket and a volatile substance disposed in the pocket.

Film material

A combination lamp and volatile dispenser provides light and dispenses a volatile material such as an insecticide from a burnable coil. There is a burn vessel, a flame source and a chimney. The burn vessel houses the coil, has openings allowing air to pass through the burn vessel, and supports the chimney and flame source. The arrangement allows volatiles released from the burning coil in the vessel to be drawn to the outside air through the chimney. A kit for replacing the candle and coil consumed during use is also disclosed, as are methods of use of such lamps.
