Description

BREAST DEVELOPER The present invention relates generally to breast developers, and more particularly, to a breast developer which is capable of developing female bust in a convenient and safe manner.

Many women, especially, oriental women, have been suffering from being flat chested. Generally, these women have been seeking and longing to be full-bosomed.

Hormone injection is normally not recommendable since it brings about undesirable side effects.

Plastic surgery, more particularly, augmentation mammoplasty, has been a popular way to achieve the intended results. However, implantation of silicone rubber has been recently demonstrated tc be a very possible cause of breast cancer.

Heretofore, many types of hand operated exercising devices have been known and used for developing the upper frontal chest muscles. However, the results expected for females are rather diffsrent than those expected for males. The prevailing available hand operated chest developers or bust developers nerely exercise the arm and chest muscles which might be welcomed by males but which is generally not intended by females.

The present invention is therefore intended to provide a breast developer which initiates and/or stimulates the mammoplasia of female.

The present invention is further intended to provide a breast developer which massages the female breast so as to stimulate the blood circulation and thus the growth of breast.

The present invention is further intended to provide a breast developer which is effective and can be used in a convenient and safe manner.

These and other advantages and features of the present invention, which will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings, is accomplished by a breast developer comprising a domeshaped receptor for receiving the breast, a control unit having a gear actuatable by thumbscrews, a handgrip controllably insertable into the dome-shaped receptor, a low speed motor installed within the handgrip and including an axle for transmitting the rotating motion; a contact unit subject to direct contact with the breast being rotatable by the low speed motor through the axle; and a protection unit made of water-proof material for connection to the axle at a position between the contact unit and the motor.
