20100113992 | Vibrating Massage Roller Utilizing a Plurality of Supports and Eccentric Weights - The present invention is a vibrational roller utilizing a motorized vibrational drive using a plurality of eccentric weights and associated supports. The weights are positioned along the axis of rotation in a manner to synchronize them and minimize vibrational dissipation throughout the roller. Each weight has at least one associated support. The supports then transmit vibrational forces to the surface of the roller in an evenly distributed manner. A second co-operational motor may be used to extend motor life and aid in initiating vibrations. A control panel and associated circuitry are utilized to alter vibrational characteristics. The roller may be battery powered or powered through a standard wall outlet. The roller itself is manufactured of a durable yet deformable material, such as foam rubber, and may be inserted into selectable sleeves of varying physical properties for desired effect. | 05-06-2010 |
20090247915 | PERSONAL VIBRATOR WITH REPLACEABLE MOTOR - A vibrating massager includes a housing, a power source supported by the housing and a replaceable motor. The housing and motor are configured so that the motor may be readily replaced by a human operator without the need to replace the housing, power source, or other components. The motor may be sized and configured to substitute for a conventional battery in a multi-battery device. When positioned in place of a battery in a supporting device, the motor operates to impart a vibrating motion to the supporting device. | 10-01-2009 |
20130158454 | Apparatus and method for controlling pain - A pain controlling device includes a pair of housings, each having a jaw at one end and a handle at the other end. The jaws, which are held together a resilient coupling connecting the housings, may be separated by squeezing the handles together. Each of the housings includes a source of mechanical vibration that can be turned on to control pain in an extremity that is clamped between the jaws, such as in a finger from which a blood sample is to be taken. | 06-20-2013 |

20080255483 | Apparatus and Method for Reducing Pain During Skin Puncturing Procedures - A handheld instrument for minimizing pain during administration by injection of a liquid, such as, an anesthetic that has a main body, a vibration unit mounted in the main body when initiated to cause the main body to vibrate, and a detachable tip cantilever mounted on the main body to vibrate with it, the tip having a free end characterized by a bifurcation to form two spaced projections defining a space between them, whereby the spaced projections can be placed in proximity to, adjacent to and bracketing a preselected injection site on a human or animal and the tissue at said preselected injection site and vibrated while an injection is given. | 10-16-2008 |
20140194794 | MASSAGER WITH TOUCH-SENSING HEAD - A massager includes a massager head with a capacitive sensor. A controller uses the capacitive sensor to sense capacitance changes that indicate a human body is in close proximity or in contact with the massager head. Responsive to activating the capacitive sensor, the controller activates a massager motor in the massager head. When a human body is sensed, the controller increases the vibrations caused by the massager motor from a starting speed to a final speed through a period of time. When the capacitive sensor no longer senses a body, the massager motor is slowed down and may be stopped. | 07-10-2014 |
20120165710 | Handheld Facial Massage and Microcurrent Therapy Device - A Handheld Facial Massage and Microcurrent Therapy Device. The device includes a massage feature that enables the user to provide motorized agitation to a skin-contacting attachment selected from a group of detachable elements. The detachable skin-contacting element includes bristle brushes, massage sponges, smooth and rough applicators, among others. In addition to the motorized agitation from the attachment, the device also includes the ability to apply rejuvenating micro-current therapy to the skin. Both the motorized agitation and micro-current generation are independently user-adjustable in order to achieve the optimum treatment for each individual. Versions of the device that include galvanic current application as well as ultrasonic skin stimulation are available.

The arrangement also includes a reinforcement for the contact member at least partly embedded inside the contact member, with the reinforcement being able to deform jointly with the contact member and capable of keeping the contact member in the deformed position when the user ceases to apply the stress. The vibrator further includes at least one vibration generator, preferably directly in contact with the reinforcement within the contact member. | 02-05-2009 |
20140107543 | SCALP STIMULATION AND HAIR RE-GROWTH - A method and an apparatus are disclosed for promoting hair growth using multi-dimensional vibrations. A multi-vibrating device includes components, such as electric motors, configured to generate several modes of vibration simultaneously. The vibrations may be transmitted to scalp or other skin area where re-growth of hair is desired via elements of the vibrating device such as bristles on a hairbrush. The multi-mode vibrations may cause natural skin oils and sebum surrounding the hair shaft and follicle to be stripped off to allow more oxygen and stimulate growth. The multi-mode vibration device may be used in conjunction with specially fortified shampoos and vitamins to further stimulate hair growth. | 04-17-2014 |

20080243039 | OXYGENATING COSMETIC INSTRUMENT - Disclosed is an apparatus including a handle capable of manipulation by a human hand, and one or more head portions to mate to various types of treatment attachments, which may be moved over an area of skin and/or body part by a motion generator moving the head portions, and/or by a user manipulating the handle. Various suitable attachments include applicator attachments having abrasive surfaces, oxygenating attachments having pores through which oxygen may travel, brush attachments for cleaning and polishing, thermal attachments for heating and cooling, and light radiating attachments. The motion generator may move the attachments by vibrating, spinning, oscillating, or propagating sonic waves through the head portions. Thus, attachments may be attached and removed from the head portions to treating skin and/or body parts by abrasion, cleaning, polishing, lighting, or oxygenation. Moreover, during treatment abrasive composition, cleaning solution, and/or polishing solution may be applied to the skin and/or body part. | 10-02-2008 |
