Abstract:
An apparatus for rising and falling a medicator of an automatic hot-heat treatment device, includes: a movement space formed vertical to a main body of a movable body horizontally moving along with a screw rotated by a motor; a treatment device moving plate having a carrying bar insertedly bound with the movement space and moving in the movement space its horizontal movement and a jaw at the lower end portion of the carrying bar; and a rising and falling spring positioned between the treatment device moving plate and the movable body, for moving the madicator up and down so as to be tensed and contracted according to the curve of the body of the user to thereby pressurize and foment the diseased part of the user.
Abstract:
A harmonic vibration massage device for generating harmonic vibrations and including a transmitting plate and at least two vibration generators mounted underneath the transmitting plate. The transmitting plate has a plurality of protruding fingertips thereto. The at least two vibration generators generate two distinct vibrations at two distinct areas on the transmitting plate, where the two distinct vibrations are coupled together to produce harmonic vibrations such that the harmonic vibrations are transmitted to and through the transmitting plate which in turn is transmitted to and through the plurality of fingertips and the body part positioned on the massage device.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for alleviating excessive pressure development on a body area includes a cushion having bottom and top surfaces which are spaced apart. The top surface has a plurality of channels formed therethrough. A compressible inner layer is disposed between the top and bottom surfaces, and a plurality of elongate, inflexible members are supported by the inner layer and are disposed at least partially within the channels. The members have first ends that extend through the channels to project beyond the top surface. Pressure applied to the first ends causes the members to be displaced axially along the channels toward the bottom surface without deformation. Pressure produced by body contact creates point pressures on the body area, and displacement of the members maintains the plurality of point pressures on the body area, alleviating excessive pressure. The apparatus includes a enclosure cover and the members have large, tapered ends.
Abstract:
A massage table for massaging a user. This massage table contains a base which holds a motor. This base has a plurality of rails which support a series of rollers. A table top rides on these rollers and is connected to the motor via a piston. This motor drives the table top back and forth on top of these rollers. The table top can contain a plurality of heaters that are covered by a cover. The cover can be formed with ribs or bumps so as to improve the massaging sensation experienced by the user.
Abstract:
An abdominal exerciser device includes a self-standing casing that freely movably supports an exercising member such as a ball with an exposed surface protruding upward from the casing for contacting a user's body part. The device also includes a hollowed cover connecting to the casing to protect the exposed surface from outside environment when the device is unused, and a handgrip for hand-carrying the same. The device can include a carrier having an adjustment member mounted thereon to adjust position of the casing relative to the carrier.
Abstract:
A vibration massage device is used for generating vibrations to a transmitting plate which in turn generates vibrations to a plurality of protruding fingertips and the body part positioned on the fingertips for providing an improved massaging effect on the body part. The vibration massage device is further used in conjunction with a fluid filled bladder, where the fluid filled bladder is positioned on top or underneath the transmitting plate for creating increased pressure from the protruding fingertips against the user.
Abstract:
An exerciser with an inclined adjustable roller platform assembly comprising a base module, a roller platform assembly, a foot support, a roller platform assembly support, an overhead hand bar assembly and an overhead hand bar assembly support, one end of the roller platform assembly is pivotally connected to the base, the foot support fastened to and extending forwardly of the base of the roller platform assembly, the adjustable roller platform assembly is maintained in one of many variable inclined positions by the roller platform assembly support extending between the roller platform assembly and the base module, the roller platform assembly support being variably vertically adjustable; the overhead hand bar assembly having a lower end pivotally connected to the roller platform assembly, overhead hand bar assembly supports extending between the overhead hand bar assembly and the roller platform assembly, the overhead hand bar supports being variably vertically adjustable.
Abstract:
A foot heel massaging device is located in the heel of a shoe to massage the foot heel of a person wearing the shoe. The device consists essentially of a fixed member located fixedly in the shoe heel, a movable member located movably on the fixed member and provided with a plurality of massaging knobs, a confining member for confining the fixed member and the movable member, and two magnets located respectively in the fixed member and the movable member such that the like magnetic poles of the two magnets are opposite to each other to bring about a repulsion force to cause the movable member to move away from the fixed member at the time when the movable member is relieved of an external force exerting thereon.
Abstract:
A muscular therapy treatment apparatus for patient self-treatment in applying concentrated pressure to deep muscle attachments in the lamina groove on either side of the spinous processes of spine vertebrae to relax and lengthen the muscles therein and cause vertebrae alignment without the forcing of bone. Each embodiment of the apparatus has a rigid planar base support and a treatment member depending upwardly therefrom with a pair of sharp edges on its curved upper peripheral surface. A groove separates the sharp edges and receives the spinous processus of vertebrae when a patient becomes positioned on top of or against the peripheral surface during use. The groove can have straight interior walls intersecting at an angle between 60.degree. to 70.degree., or it can have an arcuate configuration. The present invention discloses a variety of partial-spine treatment embodiments, as well as a whole-spine treatment embodiment that allows all of the muscles flanking the spinal column to be treated at once. The peripheral surfaces of the embodiments used for the cervical and lumbar regions of the spine conform to the natural concave curvature of those regions. However, it is preferred that the curved peripheral surface of the thoracic region treatment embodiments have a configuration slightly reversing the curvature of that region in a prone patient. Also, in the whole-spine treatment apparatus, approximately one-third of the base support, specifically that in the lumbar region, has a raised thickness dimension.
