Device for delivery of resonant frequencies to treated muscles
First Claim
1. A device for inducing resonant vibrations to human muscles comprising:
- a housing;
a motor disposed within the housing;
an interchangeable applicator tip adapted to move laterally against a human'"'"'s skin adjacent muscles;
a drive system coupled to the motor and the tip, and adapted to cause the tip to drum the muscles into a resonant vibration of the muscles;
wherein the drive system comprises a shaft, a drive pulley, a driven pulley and a belt encircling the drive pulley and a driven pulley to move the driven pully with the shaft, the shaft rebounding off of a bumper.

Abstract
A drumming device for delivering a repetitive percussive strike to muscles below a skin surface comprises a main housing enclosing an electric motor with a shaft having a fixed rotational speed, a drive pulley, a toothed belt encircling the drive pulley and a driven pulley with an integral cam mounted on said pulley such that the rotating shaft causes the driven pulley to rotate at a predetermined number of cycles per second, the assembly causing a repetitive, reciprocal movement of a plunger body a fixed distance and at 16.6 cycles/sec, said plunger movable in a downward direction following contact with the cam, such that the plunger reciprocates within said housing when said cam member contacts the plunger causing the plunger shaft to move laterally outward. When the massaging device is properly position in contact with the skin the moving plunger causes muscle spindles to vibrate at their resonant frequency.
