Abstract:
An massage device, includes a hollow cylindrical foam roller, two end plates fixable at the opposite ends of the roller, the inner envelope of the roller and the end plates essentially defining a cavity, and each of the end plates further including centrally situated bearing arrangement, two supporting feet each having a first and a second support, the first and the second support of the supporting feet are alignable at the end plates to set the supports at an angle relative to each other, and each of the supporting feet being fixable at the end plates of the roller by a fastening arrangement so that the supporting feet are at least functionally connected to the bearing arrangements of the associated end plates and the roller is rotatably fixed to the supporting feet, and the supporting feet may be stored inside the cavity.
Abstract:
A hand held exercise and fitness device includes a head section and a handle section. The head section has a variably Tillable hollow core portion and a handle attachment portion, an added weight being disposed within the head section and shifting with movement of the head section. The handle section has a head attachment portion and a gripping portion, and is made from a a couple of shells that are joined to one another to form an elongated member. The head section and the handle section are locked to one another by causing retainers protruding from the head attachment portion of the handle section to engage depressions defined on the handle attachment portion of the head section.
Abstract:
The heads interface with a conventional handpiece so that the facial brush or other facial treatment head can be removed and replaced with a subassembly that provides pivoting/floating support. The treatment head is then attachable to the pivoting/floating subassembly as if it were attaching to the handpiece; the result being a motorized skin treatment head that pivots and/or floats to follow the contour of the skin. The internal motor can either be housed within the handpiece, or pivoting/floating subassembly, and will either provide rotation/oscillation of the treatment head, or simple vibrations to the handpiece and/or treatment head. The floating mechanism may be available in a variety of forms to provide the widest variety of use scenarios. Each floating mechanisms and/or subassemblies are interchangeable with the others so as to be removably attachable to the handpieces described in the Parent applications.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a therapeutic sustained static pressure and force application device. The device may include a base member having at least one side with at least one hole and/or channel disposed therein. Further, the device may include at least one peg adapted to fit into the base member, wherein at least one peg fits into the base member in a predetermined pattern such that application of the device to an area of the human anatomy provides a therapeutic effect.
Abstract:
Provided is a facial massage device including: a massage head (1) that comprises: a bearing element (20) that is intended to be placed against the face and that forms a bearing ring (21) defining a bearing surface (S) lying within a bearing plane (P) and a working area (Z) located within the bearing ring, within the bearing ring and inside the working area (Z), at least one working head (22) that has a working surface that extends, protruding, from the bearing plane (P), manoeuvring means (25) designed to move each working head (22) in rotation about at least one axis of rotation (Δ, Δ′) offset relative to the centre of the corresponding working surface (T), and a drive housing that carries the massage head (1) and that comprises an electric motor (6) that actuates drive means (7) designed to transmit the drive from the electric motor (6) to the manoeuvring means (25), wherein each working surface extends permanently protruding from the bearing plane (P) by a height H, measured between the top of the working surface and the bearing plane P.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a massage roller which comprises a soft shell, a core member, a first blocking member and a second blocking member. The core member is substantially cylindrical and hollow and made of a rigid material. The soft shell is disposed around the core member and made of a flexible material. The first blocking member blocks a front end of the soft shell and has a first extension detachably secured to a front end of the core member. The second blocking member is secured to a rear end of the core member and blocks a rear end of the soft shell. The soft shell and the core member are configured to be axially displaceable relative to each other but not rotatable relative to each other.
Abstract:
A reversible massage tool which has two opposing massage surfaces formed on opposite sides of a frame. A hard massage surface is provided by a plurality of acupressure massage bumps in sets of two each the height of each pair of bumps is lowest at the ends of the tool and increases with each pair towards the center of the tool. This variation in height created a curved massage surface. The bumps are formed above hollow chambers or pockets which may receive a ball such as a tennis ball. Placements of these balls serve to adjust the massage position of the acupressure bumps in height above a surface and in angle and rocking motions. The tool is reversible. If desired, the tennis balls may be employed as a second massage surface by turning the device over so that the massage bumps are now the base surface and the tennis balls are applied to the body. The balls are engaged by friction fit in the hollow chambers.
Abstract:
A massaging device that has a handle with a shaft and a grip, a releasably coupled head that has a frame and an axle, a massaging element that is carried by the frame such that the massaging element can spin on the axle.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments provide skin stimulating devices and methods that address the aging effects of skin at a protein level. Particularly, cyclical mechanical strain is used to regulate specific proteins within the skin, so as to produce specific effects. As a non-limiting example, the disclosed embodiments can be used to increase the production of certain proteins (e.g., hyaluronan synthase 3 (HAS3); fibronectin; tropoelastin; procoll1; integrin, etc.) in the skin, which results in anti-aging effects by increasing epidermal cohesion.
