Abstract:
A clamping-style neck-back-waist-leg massager includes: a frame flanked by two handles; a central shaft pivotally connected to a rotational center of a torsional spring; a right clamper having leftward a pivot ear hole pivotally connected to the central shaft and abutted against a first free end of the torsional spring and having rightward a free end bending away from the corresponding handle; a left clamper having rightward a pivot ear hole pivotally connected to the central shaft and abutted against a second free end of the torsional spring and having leftward a free end bending away from the corresponding handle. The free ends of the right and left clampers approach each other to effectuate clamping. The right and left clampers have therein first and second massaging sets extending outward to form first and second massaging units, respectively, for performing fixed-point or transverse massage on the neck, back, waist, and legs.
Abstract:
A foot stretcher assembly for stretching a foot includes a foot stretcher and a handle removably secured with the foot stretcher. The foot stretcher includes a sole that is flexible in response to receiving a foot. The foot stretcher assembly can also include a securing feature to maintain the foot relative to the foot stretcher.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a simple and easy to use stimulatory device which allows the user to apply vibrations to the frenulum, while being an essentially hands-free device, so that the user does not have to manually hold or manipulate the device during use. In an embodiment, the device allows the user to control the amplitude and frequency of the vibrations applied to the frenulum.
Abstract:
A device for use by an individual for sexual pleasure varying in form, i.e. shape, during its use and allowing for the user to select multiple variations of form either discretely or in combination and for these dynamic variations to be controllable simultaneously and interchangeably while being transparent to the normal use of the device, including the ability to insert, withdraw, rotate, and actuate the variable features manually or remotely. According to embodiments of the invention localized and global variations of devices are implemented using fluidics and electromagnetic pumps/valves wherein a fluid is employed such that controlling the pressure of the fluid results in the movement of an element within the device or the expansion/contraction of an element within the device.
Abstract:
A handle assembly with multi-axial adjustment is disclosed. The disclosed assembly provides for more ergonomic handling of various tools, particularly ambulatory assistance devices. In an exemplary embodiment, a splined coupling provides 360 degree adjustability about its axis. A housing unit provides an adjustable interface between the splined coupling and a handle component. A convex face of the housing unit is geared, and a concave face of the handle component is adapted to selectable engage with the housing unit at a variety of angels.
Abstract:
The system includes one or more devices to improve performance of selected internal organs by stimulating the organs through vibrating action of the device to restore their normal youthful function. Sources of vibration include a capsule, which can be swallowed, or a larger member that is introduced through the rectum or esophagus or applied into the abdominal cavity with or without incision. These vibration sources are either implanted and inserted for natural passage along the digestive tract, or they are retained at the end of a flexible shaft of length sufficient to reach their deepest intended placement from access through the mouth or rectum. Additionally, in the case of the vibrating capsule, it can be swallowed as well as implanted and released for natural passage along the small intestine and colon. The capsule can also be retained at the end of a flexible, controllable shaft of length sufficient to reach past the duodenum. The flexible shaft movement is controllable to increase effectiveness.
Abstract:
A therapeutic system for massage comprises a massage device having an activation cell comprising a hollow pocket at least partially filled with a ferro-magnetic fluid, a permanent magnet suspended in the ferro-magnetic fluid, a coil of electrically-conductive material in proximity to the pocket, and a connection interface to connect the coil to a source of varying voltage and current, and a power source of varying voltage for connecting to the connection interface to drive the activation cell.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an arrangement in connection with a massaging apparatus, and a massaging apparatus. The massaging apparatus includes a treatment head (2), a low-pressure chamber (6) arranged at the treatment head, element (5) for producing low pressure in the low-pressure chamber, and a nozzle part (3), one end of which is arranged to be in connection with the low-pressure chamber and the other end of which is arranged to be pressed against a skin tissue to direct low-pressure suction to the skin tissue, thus producing a bulge in the skin tissue. The nozzle part (3) is arranged to form a suction opening with two main axes, which are substantially perpendicular to one another and are of the same or a different length. The arrangement includes a sealing part (4) made of a flexible material and arranged to adapt to the shape of the suction opening formed by the nozzle part and to seal the gap between the end of the nozzle part and the skin tissue when the end of the nozzle part is pressed against the skin tissue. The surface of the sealing part (4) to be pressed against the skin tissue is arranged to be concave in the direction of at least one of the main axes of the suction opening formed by the nozzle part (3).
Abstract:
An inflatable garment for applying to parts of the body such as the calf of the leg as a means of enhancing blood circulation in the body. The garment is of universal application in the sense that it comprises two wrap halves (8, 9) provided with inflatable bladders (4, 5, 6). The two wrap halves can be selectively coupled together in such a way as to provide a variable overall length of garment wrap to suit calf's of differing size while at the same time maintaining the integrity of fluid communication between the bladders on the respective wrap halves.
Abstract:
A handle grip for ambulatory aid appliances has a soft top portion and a rigid body portion. The handle grips may be attached to a wheeled ambulatory aid appliance such as a rolling walker, wheelchair, stroller and the like in a selected position to provide a comfortable and secure hand grip to a user of the ambulatory aid.
