Abstract:
A CPR compression device driven by a cam, in which the cam is shaped to provide a desired compression waveform. The cam controls movement of a compression pad, and has angular regions shaped to provide a compression stroke, a high compression hold, and a release phase of the chest contacting means.
Abstract:
A device for providing elliptical path motion to skin or other surface. The device includes a motor, shaft, and a cam having at least one offset axis cam lobe for creating offset motion. A mounting bracket assembly that has a pair of arms associated with the motor can be moved by the cam in an elliptical path having X-axis, Y-axis and, in exemplary embodiments, Z-axis movement. The mounting bracket assembly may have two brackets, each being associated with an oscillating plate. Each oscillating plate may have a plurality of protrusions or tufts of bristles protruding therefrom. Elliptical movement of the oscillating plates creates offset elliptical motion of the protrusions associated with each oscillating plate. A fluid delivery system may be incorporated to provide fluid through the device. The device may be used for cleaning, stimulation or treatment of skin.
Abstract:
A sole acupoint pressure massage apparatus includes a base. The base has therein a mechanism lower cover engaged therewith. The mechanism lower cover has therein a first power device and a second power device. A mechanism upper cover is disposed on the mechanism lower cover. A wavy wheel is pivotally disposed on the mechanism upper cover. A needle disk is disposed on the wavy wheel. An upper cover is disposed above the needle disk and coupled to the base. Needles are disposed on the needle disk. A first power device drives the wavy wheel to rotate. The wavy surface of the wavy wheel presses against the needles to massage sole acupoints. The second power device lifts the mechanism upper cover and drives the wavy wheel and the needles, thereby causing the needles to perform pressure massage on the sole.
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments of massaging devices are disclosed herein. One exemplary embodiment includes a piston having a longitudinal axis, a massaging head connected to the piston, a motor located on a first side of the longitudinal axis and a handle located on a second side of the longitudinal axis. A drive mechanism for moving the piston and massage head is also included.

Abstract:
Provided are a skin-stimulation unit and a skin-massage apparatus having same. The skin-stimulation unit comprises: a striking member for applying an impact to the skin; a cap part into which the striking member is slidably inserted; and a connecting rod having a front end connected to the striking member and a rear end connected to an external source of motive powder, wherein the connecting rod linearly reciprocates the striking member.
Abstract:
A respiration-assistance apparatus or method can include or use a lifting element such as to cyclically push, pull, or lift, toward a superior direction of the subject, at least one subject region during an inhalation portion of a respiration cycle of the subject. A cyclical member can couple the lifting element to a fixed reference. Abdominal or ribcage compression can be provided. A multi-action or other cam can be used, such as together with a reciprocating element. Examples can be configured for use with a wheelchair, a bed, a vacuum or suction affixation element, a wearable garment, etc.
Abstract:
Preferred systems for assisting clearance of an acutely thrombosed artery substantially surrounded by boney external body surfaces which are resistant to deformative displacement relative to the thrombosed artery by the application of external percussive force are described. The method consists of applying targeted, localized, non-invasive, high infrasonic to low sonic frequency vibratory percussion with a serial impact frequency much greater than the pulse rate of a patient being treated, the percussion directed towards a remote, preferably superficial “target vessel” residing palpably close to the skin surface. Marked vessel deformations with resultant blood pressure and flow fluctuations are thereby induced by the percussion within the target vessel which propagate to the acutely thrombosed artery to provide localized agitation and turbulence to assist thrombolytic and/or IV microbubble delivery and effectiveness in facilitating reperfusion. Preferred apparatus for treatment of ST elevation myocardial infarction, acute ischemic stroke and acute pulmonary embolus are presented.
Abstract:
A massage device includes a rotation member and a massage head seat. The rotation member includes a driving axle at an upper end thereof to connect an eccentric rotation disc. A motor is to drive an axle of the eccentric rotation disc. A rivet is inserted in a through hole of a rotation post and pivoted to a hole of the eccentric rotation disc. The hole is disposed at an eccentric position of a top end of the eccentric rotation disc. The rotation post is secured in a link post at one end of the massage head seat.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a portable device for enhancing circulation in a limb comprising at least one strap for encircling the limb, a motor and a mechanism driven by said motor for intermittently actuating a first transition from a relaxed state to a strained state of the strap and a second transition from the strained state to the relaxed state. The mechanism includes at least one energy storing element operatively disposed between the motor and the strap and at least one energy releasing mechanism coupling between the energy storing element and the strap. The energy releasing mechanism enables fast release of energy stored in said storing element and the use of the energy so released to effectuate at least one abrupt transition between said relaxed and strained states.
