Abstract
A vibrostimulation device for slidingly communicating with tactile receptors in a human body. The device comprises an elongate vibrator module and a handle component configured for releasably engaging and rotationally communicating with the vibrator module. The vibrator module comprises a vibrating end portion containing therein an electrically controllable vibratory apparatus interconnected by a resilient shock-absorbing coupler to a power supply module. The resilient shock-absorbing coupler is configured to extend the vibrating portion away from the power supply module at an acute angle. The handle component comprises a base portion configured for releasably engaging and rotationally cooperating with the power supply module of the vibrator module, a vertical member pivotably cooperating with the base portion, and a cantilevered upper portion extending outward from the vertical portion. The upper handle portion is provided with a switching device that cooperates with the base handle portion for electrically controlling the vibrator module.
