Electric massager
First Claim
1. A massager, which comprises:
- a handle portion;
a vibrating portion;
resilient means interconnecting said handle portion with said vibrating portion; and
electric motor means mounted within said vibrating portion and including a substantially cylindrical housing, an axial shaft concentrically mounted in said motor housing and having one end portion extending beyond one end wall of said housing, and eccentric weight means mounted to said one end portion of said shaft;
said eccentric weight means including a first weight which comprises a substantially flat, triangular shaped base positioned adjacent said end wall of said housing and whose apex is connected to said one end portion of said shaft, and a body portion disposed adjacent the cylindrical outer surface of said motor housing and which extends integrally and transversely from said base so as to rotate therewith about said motor.

Abstract
A hand held, portable, rechargeable electric vibrator which includes a handle portion and a spherical vibrating portion. The handle portion houses a rechargeable battery controlled by an on-off switch. The spherical vibrating portion is substantially hollow and houses an electric motor completely therewithin. The motor includes a shaft having a pair of eccentric weights mounted on respective ends thereof. The spherical vibrating portion is connected to the handle portion by a flat, resilient spring member, and a rubber sheath encloses the spring as well a the electrical wires which connect the battery with the motor. Upon actuation, the eccentrics revolve about the motor so as to impart a vibratory motion to the spherical portion of the device. Embodiments are also disclosed which contain more than one vibrating portion.
