Abstract
1464159 Hand-held body massager NIAGARA THERAPY MFG CORP 10 June 1974 [22 June 1973] 25620/74 Heading A5R A hand-held vibro-massager comprises a variable speed-eccentric weight A.C. motor M supported in a container part A, and solid state electronic components and a potentiometer (41, Fig. 8 not shown) mounted on a circular printed circuit board 36 forming a motor speed control assembly supported in a cup C, the stem 42 of the potentiometer extending along a nose extension 7 of a cover part B through a sleeve 55 and a cap 66 and terminating in an accessible knob 58 for varying the speed of the motor. A suction fan F having blades 31 inclined at an angle of 45 degrees, and mounted on the shaft (19) of a squirrel-cage rotor (18) adjacent hot-air discharge ports 3a, 3b draws cool air through inlet ports 8a, 8b and the air flowing through holes 10a in the cup C, the space between the periphery of the circuit board and the side wall of the cup C, and the space between the stator 15, 16 and the rotor (18) prevents the motor and the speed control assembly from becoming excessively hot. The gyratory motion of the shaft 19 due to an eccentric weight 33 results in the vibrations of the shell of the massager which may be provided with a blanket 9 and massage pads 100. A speed trimmer 48, accessible through a hole (48") and consisting of a variable resistor, is provided to pre-set the lower speed, preferably 1500 cycles per minute, of the motor, whereas in the embodiment of Fig. 2 the cover part B is connected to the container part A by lock nuts 12 and set screws 12', in another embodiment (Fig. 12), a rim 13" of an internally threaded ring 13 abuts a shoulder portion 6a of the cover part B when the ring is screwed on to a threaded extension 4 of the container part, and thereby provides a smooth connection between the two parts. The hole 48" is accessible only when the ring is unscrewed. A typical electric circuit and arrangement of the components on the circuit board are disclosed.
