Detailed Description

As required, detailed embodiments of the present disclosure are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the disclosure, which can be embodied in various forms. The figures are not necessarily to scale, some features may be exaggerated to show details of particular components. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present disclosure.

Fig. 1 shows a massage device 1 having a massage element 2, a heating element 3, a handle 4, a power source (battery) 5, a power button 6, a control button 7, and a velcro tape 8. The heating element 3 is capable of rapid heating to allow the user to rapidly open the device to receive heat treatment. The power source (battery) 5 is housed in a pocket, which allows the user to remove the battery for recharging or to replace it with another fully charged battery. This feature allows the user to use the massage device virtually uninterrupted when the battery is depleted, which also allows the user to move freely without having to wait for the device to be in place when plugged into an electrical outlet. The figure shows the inner surface of the massage device with the massage elements 2 and the heating elements 3 on the inner surface. The inner surface is designed to contact the user's body to provide massage and heat treatment to the user's body. The massage device also has a built-in bar to provide additional support to a given part of the user's body, such as his back.

Fig. 2 shows a top view of the massage device 1. The figure shows a massage device 1 with a massage element 2 and a heating element 3 on the inner surface. The figure also shows a power supply 5, a power button 6 and a control button 7. In one embodiment, wireless (battery powered) operation may be achieved using the power supply 5. In another embodiment, operation may be via a cord plugged into the power supply. The heating element 3 may have a plurality of temperature settings. In one embodiment, the heating element 3 may have three temperature settings. In another embodiment, the heating element may have three temperature settings characterized by a high temperature, a medium temperature, and a low temperature. The high temperature setting may be in the range of 140 ° F to 160 ° F (60 ℃ to 71.1 ℃). The medium temperature setting may be in the range of 120 ° F to 140 ° F (48.8 ℃ to 60 ℃). The low temperature setting may be in the range of 100 ° F to 120 ° F (37.7 ℃ to 48.8 ℃).

Fig. 3 shows the outer surface of the massage device 1. The figure shows a massage device 1 with a handle 4, a power source 5, a power button 6, a control button 7 and Velcro round bristles 9.

The massage device 1 has a power supply 5 that supplies power to a CPU (not shown), a massage element 2, and a heating element 3. The CPU interacts with the power switch 6 and the control unit 7 to control the massage elements and the heating elements.

Each massage element 2 has a plurality of mechanically separate elements. The massage elements 2 each have a separate motor generating vibrations. The generated vibrations can have a variety of speeds and frequencies. Each motor has a rotating offset mass to generate vibrations. Each motor of the massage element 1 can be operated individually at different speeds and frequencies. The massage elements 2 operating at different speeds and frequencies will produce different sensations. By using a non-matching motor speed between the different massage elements 2, a beat frequency is generated in the muscles of the user. The difference between the vibration frequency and/or velocity produces beats of different periods and amplitudes in the user's muscles.

Human muscles and tissues respond differently to different vibration frequencies. Each muscle or body part may have a different natural resonant frequency. At resonance, it is achieved that the muscle or tissue is given the maximum energy with the least force. Hitting the resonance point with the beat frequency enables the generation of powerful vibrations at lower frequencies using vibrating elements that are faster and more efficient. Generating low frequency vibrations directly would require more energy. The use of a beat frequency also allows the generation of low frequency ripples or waves that pass through or across muscles and tissue with very small amplitudes of motion of the vibrating element itself. Unlike current massage devices, the typical moving element massage device requires a longer distance of movement to produce the same effect. The massage device utilizes appropriate drive signals and waveforms sent to the motor to vary the beat frequency. By using multiple or variable drive signals, the massage device 1 produces multiple effects, such as pulsed, variable speed, low speed, high speed and corrugated.

The massage elements should be arranged radially. Fig. 4 shows three embodiments of radial arrangements of the massage elements 2. In one embodiment, three massage elements 2 are arranged radially around the central point 10. In another embodiment, four massage elements 2 are arranged around the central point 10. In a further embodiment, five massage elements 2 are arranged around the central point 10. The particular orientation of the massage elements 2 may help to create a sensation like that of moving a mechanical massager, while the components do not move relative to each other. Figures 1 and 4 show a particular massage element 2 configuration employing three relatively closely spaced "Y" shaped elements with a heating element adjacent each arm of the "Y". Each massage element 2 is individually attached/fixed to the main fabric structure (sewn into the pocket, welded, adhered and/or tethered).

The heating element 3 is associated adjacent to the massage element 2. The heating element 3 may also be comprised in the massage element 2. Fig. 5 shows an embodiment in which the massage elements 2 and the heating elements 3 are arranged alternately radially. In one embodiment, three massage elements 2 are arranged radially around the central point 10, while three heating elements 3 are placed between each two massage elements 2. In another embodiment, four massage elements 2 are arranged around the central point 10, while four heating elements 2 are placed between each two massage elements 2. In a further embodiment, five massage elements 2 are arranged around the central point 10, while five heating elements 3 are placed between each two massage elements 2, respectively.

A power button 6 activates and deactivates the massage device 1 and is located on the outer surface of the device. The control buttons 7 are located on the outer surface of the massage device 1. The control buttons 7 allow the user to adjust the speed, frequency and preset program of the massage device 1. The control button 7 also allows the user to adjust the temperature of the heating element 3.

The massage device 1 may be used with the handle 4 to align different areas of the body, or may be worn as a band around the body of the user. If worn as a belt, the user can secure the massage device 1 using a closure mechanism. If not used as a waist band around the waist, the massage device 1 may be moved to different areas of the body, i.e. the upper back, shoulders, neck, legs, thighs, etc.

The surface of the housing of each massage element 2 is designed to exert pressure on the skin of the user when in use. The housing surface may be flat or curved, depending on the desired effect. The housing for each massage element 2 is located in front of the main fabric structure on the inner surface of the massage device 1. The heating element 3 is located in front of the inner surface of the main fabric structure with a compressible material between the heating element and the main fabric structure.

The CPU or microprocessor is used to vary the drive signal and generate a preset "mode" of operation for the massage element 2. There may be various interacting drive signals: one, two or three motors change speed-each may have the same or different rate of change; each may have the same or different start/end vibration frequencies (or motor speeds); each may have the same or different ramp-up or ramp-down. The CPU or microprocessor may use a fixed frequency-all the same frequency (less effective), a slightly different frequency, or a very different frequency. The user's body will notice a large difference and the nerves of the skin will usually notice a higher frequency more.

Fig. 6 to 11 illustrate the speed of each motor during each mode of the massage apparatus. These figures illustrate the individual speed change of each motor during each mode and the amount of time each motor operates at a particular variable speed during each mode. In modes one, five and six, the motors are operated individually at three different speeds at all times, and each motor changes speed during the mode. In mode two, each motor runs at a single speed during this mode, however, all motors run at different speeds. In mode three, motors one and two are operating at two different speeds, but in the same speed up and speed down modes, while motor 3 is operating at a single speed during the entire mode. In mode four, each motor operates at a variable speed for the different modes throughout the modes.

Many modifications and variations of the present disclosure are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the disclosure may be practiced otherwise than as specifically disclosed herein.
