Abstract

A vibrator belt including means for providing a pulsating or vibratory motion against the body. In one embodiment, the vibrator belt includes a plurality of rotatable members linked together by a flexible rod. A drive means rotates the rod which in turn revolves the rotatable members, causing the pulsating motion to be generated forward and back from the body.

Claims

1. A vibrator belt comprising:

a belt for positioning around a part of the body;

a plurality of spaced apart movable means secured to the belt;

means for securing each of the movable means at a fixed location on the belt; and

a shaft associated with said movable means whereby the revolving of said shaft causes movement of said movable means.

2. A vibrator belt comprising:

a belt;

a plurality of spaced apart revolving members, each of said members being secured to the belt at a fixed location; and

drive means associated with said members to cause movement thereof.

3. The belt of claim 2, wherein said drive means includes a rod connected to each of said revolving means, said drive means causing said rod to revolve, which in turn rotates the revolving members.

4. The belt of claim 3, wherein said rod is connected to said revolving members off-center with respect to the central axis of the revolving means.

5. The belt of claim 3, wherein said rod is flexible.

6. The belt of claim 2, includes:

a plurality of brackets secured to said belt, each of said revolving members being connected to one of said brackets.

7. The belt of claim 4, wherein said rod is connected at one position to one of said revolving members and connected at a second position to an adjacent revolving member with respect to the central axis of the revolving members.

8. The belt of claim 7, wherein said positions are substantially 180* apart.

9. The belt of claim 3, wherein each of said revolving members includes a ring rotating on ball bearings.

10. A vibrator belt comprising:

a belt for positioning around a part of the body;

a plurality of spaced apart revolving members secured to said belt, each of said members including a central opening;

a plug positioned in said opening and including a groove;

a rod secured in said groove between said plug and the defining wall of said opening; and

drive means for causing said rod to revolve which in turn rotates the revolving members.

11. A vibrator belt for positioning around a part of the body comprising:

a plurality of spaced apart revolving members secured to said belt;

drive means associated with the revolving members to cause movement thereof;

a plurality of brackets secured to said belt, each of said brackets including a securing lug for tightly contacting the corresponding revolving member; and

a substantially U-shaped clamp extending around the revolving members in contact therewith and having a pair of opposed feet for attaching to the bracket.

12. The belt of claim 2, wherein each of said revolving members is circular and revolves around its own axis.

13. The belt of claim 3, wherein said rod is connected to said revolving members in a zig-zag pattern.

14. The belt of claim 2, wherein said drive means is a motor means including:

a rotating shaft connected to one end of the rod; and

variable means for varying the revolutions per minute of the shaft, to cause said rod rotational speed to vary and, in turn, to cause the speed of rotation of the revolving members to vary.

15. The belt of claim 2 includes a mounting strip having an inner side for positioning adjacent the body of the wearer, and an outer side on which said revolving means are mounted, said revolving means extending outward from the outer side.
