Abstract

A hand-held massage assembly includes a power cord connectable to an electrical power supply, a vibratory massager, and a handle conductively coupling the power cord and massager. The handle may be removed and the power cord coupled directly to the massager. The vibratory massager includes a relatively flat working surface and a second connector for receiving either the first connector of the power cord or a first end of a handle.

Claims

1. A hand-held massage assembly, comprising:

a power cord connectable to an electrical power supply, including a first connector;

a vibratory massager; and

a handle conductively coupling the power cord and massager;

wherein the handle may be removed and the power cord coupled directly to the massager.

2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the vibratory massager includes a relatively flat working surface and a second connector for receiving either the first connector of the power cord or a first end of the handle.

3. The assembly of claim 2, wherein the second connector extends approximately 90 degrees from the working surface of the vibratory massager.

4. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the handle includes a first end attachable to the vibratory massager, and a second end attachable to the power cord.

5. The assembly of claim 4, wherein the first end of the handle comprises a first connector similar to the first connector of the power cord, and the vibratory massager includes a second connector for receiving either the first connector of the handle or the first connector of the power cord.

6. The assembly of claim 5, wherein the second end of the handle comprises a second connector similar to the second connector of the vibratory massager, for receiving the first connector of the power cord.

7. The assembly of claim 6, wherein the first connector of the power cord comprises a threaded male connector, the second connector of the vibratory massager comprises a threaded female connector, the first connector of the handle comprises a threaded male connector for engaging the threaded female connector of the massager, and the second connector of the handle comprises a threaded female connector for engaging the threaded male connector of the power cord.

8. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the handle is tubular.

9. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the first connector is a threaded male connector attachable to one of a threaded female connector of the massager or a threaded female connector of the handle.

10. A hand-held massage assembly, comprising:

a power cord connectable to an electrical power supply, including a first connector;

a vibratory massager including a relatively flat working surface and a second connector; and

a handle including a first end attachable to the vibratory massager, and a second end attachable to the power cord, the handle conductively coupling the power cord and massager;

wherein the second connector receives either the first connector of the power cord or a first end of the handle, and the handle may be removed and the power cord coupled directly to the massager.

11. The assembly of claim 10, wherein the second connector extends approximately 90 degrees from the working surface of the vibratory massager.

12. The assembly of claim 10, wherein the first end of the handle comprises a first connector similar to the first connector of the power cord, and the vibratory massager includes a second connector for receiving either the first connector of the handle or the first connector of the power cord.

13. The assembly of claim 12, wherein the second end of the handle comprises a second connector similar to the second connector of the vibratory massager, for receiving the first connector of the power cord.

14. The assembly of claim 13, wherein the first connector of the power cord comprises a threaded male connector, the second connector of the vibratory massager comprises a threaded female connector, the first connector of the handle comprises a threaded male connector for engaging the threaded female connector of the massager, and the second connector of the handle comprises a threaded female connector for engaging the threaded male connector of the power cord.

15. The assembly of claim 10, wherein the handle is tubular.

16. The assembly of claim 10, wherein the first connector is a threaded male connector attachable to one of a threaded female connector of the massager or a threaded female connector of the handle.

17. A hand-held massage assembly, comprising:

a power cord connectable to an electrical power supply, including a first connector;

a vibratory massager including a relatively flat working surface and a second connector extending approximately 90 degrees from the working surface; and

a handle including a first end attachable to the vibratory massager, and a second end attachable to the power cord, the handle conductively coupling the power cord and massager;

wherein the second connector receives either the first connector of the power cord or a first end of the handle, and the handle may be removed and the power cord coupled directly to the massager.

18. The assembly of claim 17, wherein the first end of the handle comprises a first connector similar to the first connector of the power cord, and the vibratory massager includes a second connector for receiving either the first connector of the handle or the first connector of the power cord.

19. The assembly of claim 18, wherein the second end of the handle comprises a second connector similar to the second connector of the vibratory massager, for receiving the first connector of the power cord.

20. The assembly of claim 19, wherein the first connector of the power cord comprises a threaded male connector, the second connector of the vibratory massager comprises a threaded female connector, the first connector of the handle comprises a threaded male connector for engaging the threaded female connector of the massager, and the second connector of the handle comprises a threaded female connector for engaging the threaded male connector of the power cord.
