Cooling and heating massager
A system to provide physical therapy in the form of heating, cooling and/or percussion, comprising: a device that contains a battery, a motor, and a switch to turn the device on or off or put the device in heating mode or put the device in cooling mode or put the device in percussion mode; wherein the device contains a motor and a pushing rod that supply the movement that results in percussion of a removable heating/cooling attachment and a removable percussion attachment; wherein the front of the device connects to the removable heating/cooling attachment that contains an electronic component to control heating or cooling and a cooling fan; wherein the removable heating/cooling attachment can be used for heating or cooling; wherein a housing shell for the heating/cooling attachment is made of plastic, foam, or metal, or any combination of plastic, foam and metal; wherein the front part of the heating/cooling attachment is made of metal that has the capability to be in contact with human skin in order to provide either heating or cooling at fixed or adjusted degrees that are optimal for physical therapy and/or blood circulation; wherein the removable heating/cooling attachment can be replaced by the removable percussion attachment that is used for percussion; wherein the removable percussion attachment can be placed on the skin of a user in order to provide percussion at fixed or adjusted speeds that are optimal for physical therapy.
Low Energy Acoustic Pulse Apparatus and Method
An apparatus for generating an acoustic energy pulse and delivering it into a body is described. The apparatus includes a generator for creating an acoustic energy pulse having an energy density field that can be measured at all points within a space in the shape of an imaginary cylinder having a length greater than or equal to 2 cm and a diameter. The cylindrically shaped space has a cylinder longitudinal axis oriented relative to a longitudinal axis of the energy pulse at an angle in the range from zero to twenty degrees. A minimum energy density for the pulse at all locations within the cylindrically shaped space is at least 50% of a maximum energy density for the pulse within the space.
Aesthetic Method of Biological Structure Treatment by Magnetic Field
Methods for treating a patient using time varying magnetic field are described. The treatment methods combine various approaches for aesthetic treatment. The methods are focused on enhancing a visual appearance of the patient.
Portable article for administering therapy to a user
A portable article for administrating therapy to a user includes a device positioned along the area of the body requiring therapy. At least one power pod is associated with the device and the power pod simultaneously applies a first force component perpendicular to the user's body surface and a second force component parallel to the user's body surface. An illustrative embodiment is a vest worn by the user during therapy.
Infant Burping Assembly
An infant burping assembly for burping an infant includes a harness that may be worn on an infant. A plunger unit is provided and the plunger unit is coupled to the harness. The plunger unit abuts the infant's back when the harness is worn. The plunger unit is actuated to move between an extended position and a retracted position. In this way the plunger unit repeatedly strikes the infant's back thereby facilitating the infant to be burped.
Skin cleanser
A skin cleanser includes a surface, such as a silicone surface, with at least one textured portion for transmitting vibrational tapping to the skin. The skin cleanser includes at least one oscillating motor for generating the tapping motion to the skin. The textured portion includes touch-points or a wave that transmit the tapping motion to skin in contact with the textured portions. The touch-points may include thicker and thinner formations of the touch-points to provide firmer or softer vibrations to the skin. The touch-points are within about 0.5 to 2.5 mm in diameter. One configuration includes multiple oscillating motors configured to provide different vibration frequencies at around 50-300 Hertz and operable simultaneously.
MASSAGE DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE
A massage device that includes a housing, an electrical input, a motor, a switch in electrical communication with the electrical input and the motor and configured to selectively provide power from the electrical input to the motor, an actuated output operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor, and a treatment structure operatively connected to a distal end of the actuated output. The actuated output is configured to reciprocate the treatment structure at a frequency of between about 15 Hz and about 100 Hz, and at an amplitude of between about 0.15 and about 1.0 inches. The combination of amplitude and frequency provides efficient reciprocation of the treatment structure such that the treatment structure provides therapeutically beneficial treatment to a targeted muscle of a user.
Massage device based on novel linear motor
The present invention discloses a massage device based on a novel linear motor, including a motor end cover, a motor assembly, and a massage assembly, wherein the motor end cover consists of a first end cover and a second end cover, the motor assembly is located between the end covers and includes a magnetic guide core, a holding through cavity is formed in a core of the magnetic guide core, clamping slots are formed in two side walls of the holding through cavity, winding cores are mounted in the clamping slots, winding frames are mounted on the winding cores, a mover bracket is disposed in the holding through cavity, a strong magnet is clamped in the mover bracket with an axial end on which a transmission push rod is disposed, and the massage assembly is connected to the transmission end of the motor assembly.

Devices, systems, and methods for percussion therapy of a patient's torso area provide percussive force to release and/or dislodge mucous from respiratory airways of a human patient. Such devices, systems, and methods may include a torso covering for securing to a patient's torso, percussive devices coupled to the torso covering, and an attachment assembly for supporting the torso covering. The percussive devices may include a percussion frame, an electromechanically actuated percussor for controlled movement between end positions, and resilient members attached to opposite ends of the percussion frame for assisting controlled movement of the percussor. The devices, systems, and methods disclosed herein provide efficient and comfortable high-frequency percussive force to a patient's torso, reducing stress on the patient and improving patient experience.
LUBRICANT DISPENSING DEVICE
Embodiments of the invention provide a lubricant dispensing device, which includes a ring, at least one hollow chamber, and at least one dispenser. The ring is sized and configured for attaching to a body part, typically, a penis of a user (though other configurations are possible). The at least one hollow chamber is configured to hold lubricant or other suitable substance. The lubricant dispenser is configured to squirt out lubricant when actuated by a user. In use, the device provides convenient lubrication during intercourse or other sexual activity. The device may include a heating element to heat the lubricant prior to dispensing. The device may further include a vibrator to impart massage to the user, or to the user's sexual partner during sexual activity.
