Abstract:
A sauna device includes a chamber made of an air-proof material. The chamber is assembled inside and supported with a flexible and collapsible support frame and provided with a vertical zipper at the front side for pulling open and close, having a through hole in the top side. A heating unit is placed in the chamber, having two heaters respectively fixed at the opposite ends of a telescopic bottom base. A PTC heating member is installed in the interior of each heater and an electric fan is positioned behind the heating member. Thus, when the wind produced by the electric fan blows through the heating member, the hot air produced in the chamber will be agitated to form up-and-down convection and evenly spread all over the interior of the chamber for use.
Abstract:
A foot mobility device includes a body, two pedals rotatable about an axis in opposition to each other and relative to the body, and a motor drive assembly. The feet of a user are placed on the pedals, and the motor drive assembly is powered to move the pedals even while the user is completely passive; i.e., without any active participation by the user. Moreover, the sensation received by the use, rather than being one of typical nullexercisenull, is massage-like and therapeutic, all while providing the same benefit of increased blood circulation due to contraction and relaxation of the calf muscle. The device may also be used in an active mode, pedaled by the user. Moreover, the foot mobility device may be moved between an open configuration adapted for use of the device and a collapsed configuration having a low profile and adapted for storage and portability.
Abstract:
A J-shaped vibrating massager and method for manufacture thereof. The J-shaped massager may consist of a J-shaped tubular rod, a head, one or more handles, control means, and vibratory means. Generally, the J-shaped tubular rod may also consist of a J-hook and a barrel. Typically, the head is located at the end of the J-hook opposite the barrel, while the vibratory means may be mounted in the head or anywhere along the length of the J-shaped tubular rod. The vibratory means induces vibrations in one or more portions of the J-shaped tubular rod, generally including the head. The vibrations massage surfaces in contact with the invention. Because the invention is generally J-shaped, a user may reach his or her own back with the head of the J-shaped massager in order to give himself a back massage. The invention may include a variety of tips having different sizes, materials, and shapes.
Abstract:
A rolling walker 1 comprises a first frame 3 supported by a front caster 2 at both ends thereof and a second frame 5 supported by a rear caster 4 at both ends thereof, and a handle 7 provided to either first frame 3 or second frame 5. The first frame 3 and the second frame 5 are foldably connected each other by a connecting shaft 6. The rolling walker 1 has a closed frame fixing means 11 which fixes the first frame 3 and the second frame 5 in a closed position and connects the first frame 3 and the second frame 5 to stand when the first frame 3 and the second frame 5 are rotationally folded around the connecting shaft 6, so that each frame 3, 5 can be kept folded to stand when the rolling walker 1 is not used. The rolling walker 1 also has a straight moving means 106 which fixes the front caster 2 in a back and front direction of the rolling walker 1 and the front caster 2 is a rotatable caster having the caster rotational axis CF around which the front caster 2 rotates so that all casters 2 and 4 can be fixed in a back and front direction, ensuring straightness in walking.
Abstract:
A device for preventing or relieving pain in the lower back of a human subject includes a body-engaging element configured for engaging a region of the subject's body inferior to the lumbar vertebrae while the subject lies in a supine position. A drive mechanism is configured to move the body-engaging element through a repetitive cyclic motion which includes an operative motion along a first path including a primarily vertical lifting motion followed by a primarily horizontal tensioning motion, and a return motion along a second path, the second path lying generally below the first path. The body-engaging element preferably includes at least one surface configured for engaging a rear surface of both of the subject's legs from the knees downwards.
Abstract:
An improved massage chair (10) is provided herein. The massage chair (10) includes (i) a front lower support (12) including a front attachment section (14), (ii) a rear lower support (16) including a rear attachment section (18), (iii) a seat (48) secured to the rear lower support (12), (iv) a front upper support (22) including an upper attachment section (24), (v) a chest rest (26) secured to the front upper support (22), and (vi) a connector (28). Importantly, the connector (28) connects the front attachment section (14), the rear attachment section (18) and the upper attachment section (24) and allows for relative motion of the front lower support (12), the rear lower support (16) and the front upper support (22) about the connector (28). As a result of this design, the massage chair (10) easily moves between a transport position (32) and an upright position (30). Further, as a result of this design, the profile of the massage chair (10) in the transport position (32) is relatively small.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a massage chair which comprises a seat and an adjoining seat back, said seat back comprising a massage devise and said massage chair being collapsible.
Abstract:
A massaging apparatus utilizing a hand held controller includes a microcontroller to actuate a plurality of vibrators positioned within a cushion using pulse width modulated signals. The microcontroller is programmed such that each zone may be actuated independently and continuously, simultaneously and continuously, or sequenced at a selectable rate controlled by the user. The hand held control uses multiplexing of the switch inputs and LED outputs to control twelve LEDs and five vibrating motors via eight switch inputs using a microcontroller having only thirteen I/O lines. A warning timer is also provided to remind the user that the device is turned on at periodic intervals.
Abstract:
A collapsible steam cabin for personal body care includes a bottom panel, having a front edge, rounded back edge and upstanding side edges, a rear panel which has a rounded lower edge which is slidingly connected to the rounded back edge, the back edge and the lower edge being contiguous, and a top edge the rear panel being rotatable around the back edge from a substantially vertical position to a position wherein the top edge is proximal to the front edge of the bottom panel forming a closed construction, a flexible material connected to the front edge of the bottom panel and the top edge of the back panel, and a connector for attachment to a steam generator. The cabin is in one embodiment provided with a connector having an integrated connector comprising a steam inlet valve and an electrical contact for connection to an external steam generator comprising a complementary connector.
Abstract:
A compactly collapsible, sectional Lofstrand-type crutch. The crutch features four sectional components: a stud section, a lower tubular member, and an upper tubular member, each telescopingly attached to one another along a longitudinal axis, and a tubular support member removably seated on the upper tubular member. The tubular support member features a support handle, which pivots upwardly into a recess defined within the tubular support member, thereby allowing the support handle to be subsumed into the recess and streamlining the folded assembly for storage. The tubular support member has a forearm sleeve for encircling the forearm of the user when the crutch is in use; when in a storage position, the forearm sleeve is pivotable to become aligned parallel and lateral to the tubular support member. The nested arrangement of the telescoping components shorten the overall length of the crutch to a convenient storage size. The tubular support member is easily removed from the upper tubular member at a point below the handle, and folded along side the nested telescoping components. A band to secure the completely nested arrangement and a clip for wearing the nested arrangement on a belt are also provided.
