PORTABLE PERCUSSIVE TISSUE MASSAGER

摘要

A tissue rehabilitation treatment apparatus including a base power unit, hand unit, drive cable, and massage head unit. An extended drive shaft communicates rotational energy from the power unit to the drive cable, which in turn causes rotational and linear vibrating movement in the massage head unit. The cable is immersed in lubricant within a protective'sheath to provide strain relief along the drive cable. The apparatus includes a means for adjusting the vibrating frequency for treating a variety of ailments.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a base power unit having an extended rotational power drive shaft extending from a housing a motor controlled by a variable frequency drive; a massage unit having portions defining a handle grip and a cylindrical head housing, said head housing containing a mechanism for converting rotational energy into linear energy; a drive member comprising a drive cable contained within a lubricating protective sheath, said drive cable having a first end configured to connect with said power drive shaft of said power unit and a second end configured to connect to a longitudinal extended handle shaft contained within said handle grip, wherein said motor is configured to rotationally drive said power drive shaft, which causes said mechanism to convert said rotational energy into linear energy along said drive cable contained within said lubricating sheath such that said rotational energy and said linear energy are translated along said longitudinal handle shaft within said handle and to said head.
