RELAXATION DEVICE

摘要

Apparatus (110) for facilitating relaxing includes a helmet (120) made of a soft material, a vibration source (41) in the helmet, and a relatively hard transmission network (30) for transmitting vibration from the vibration source throughout the helmet. Preferably, there is a power source (42) remote from the helmet for powering the vibration source (41) in the helmet (120) so that the user is not exposed to EMF from the power source (42). This can be accomplished by having a flexible shaft (44), with one end of the shaft (44) at the power source (42) and the other end terminating in the vibration source (41) in the helmet (20). Preferably, there are handles (61) on the helmet (120) to allow a facilitator to help a user use the apparatus (110) by holding onto the handles (61) while vibration occurs. An optional auxiliary pressure source (70) can be used by the facilitator or by an additional facilitator to apply more pressure during vibration. Adjustment slits (50) allow fine tuning of the shape of the helmet. Strap guides (55) help secure a strap (not shown) which is used to adjust the shape of the helmet (120) by pulling the strap tight around the helmet.
