Abstract

A body specified area stimulating device wherein a large number of thin bars having elasticity are fixed on an operating shaft. Beating members are fitted to the tips of the thin bars. The shaft is coupled to a power drive unit formed by a motor and the beating members are rotated to beat the body below the head to stimulate a large number of specified areas existing in the body. Also a head specified area stimulating device is disclosed wherein specified area beating members having elasticity are provided in front portion of a rod for converting the rotating motion of the motor to reciprocating motion of right and left directions. The rod is coupled to the power drive unit and the beating members are caused to appear frequently from the case to stimulate the specified areas of the head. The body specified area stimulating device and the head specified area stimulating device are interchangeably mounted on the power drive unit so that the specified areas of the whole body can be stimulated and the desired therapy can be obtained.

Claims

1. A whole body specified area stimulating therapy device comprising a power drive unit, a body specified area stimulating device, and a head specified area stimulating device;

said power drive unit is formed by mounting a motor in a motor case, a shaft of the motor is extended upward to provide a polygonal portion at the tip thereof, and a male thread is formed on the outer periphery of the upper part of the motor case;

the body specified area stimulating device is provided on the upper part of a case which is fitted and fixed to the upper part of the motor case, the case is connected to the motor case by a connecting ring provided with a female thread screwing with the male thread of the motor case, a large number of thin bars having elasticity are fixed to an operating shaft which is extended upward of the outside of the case from the inside of the case, beating members like balls are mounted on the tips of the thin bars, a transparent cover having an opening portion can be mounted on a case surrounding according to necessity in such a way that it covers the beating members, and the connecting member fixed to the lower end of the operating shaft is fitted to the polygonal portion of the shaft of the motor so as to connect the shaft of the motor and the operating shaft;

the head specified area stimulating device is provided in a case which is fitted and fixed to the upper part of the motor case, the case is provided with a projecting portion having an opening portion at its tip, the case is connected to the motor case by the connecting ring having female thread screwing the male thread formed on the motor case, is interlocked with the shaft of the motor by the connecting member and a specified area stimulating member having elasticity provided with a large number of projections is provided at a tip portion of a rod means for converting the rotating motion of the motor to the reciprocating motion in right and left directions;

the body specified area stimulating device and the head specified area stimulating device are interchangeably mounted on the power drive unit to be used for therapy.

2. The whole body specified area stimulating therapy device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the head specified area stimulating device is provided in the case which is fitted and fixed to the upper part of the motor case, an upper end of a crank shaft extended upward through a support plate from the lower part of the inside of the case is pivotally supported by a bearing, the connecting member is fixed to the polygonal portion of the tip of the shaft of the motor to connect the shaft of the motor to the crank shaft, rear end portions of the rods extended to the opening portion of the case are connected to a crank pins, plates are fixed to the tips of the rods, and the specified area stimulating member having elasticity provided with a large number of projections is fixed on the surface of the plates

3. The whole body specified area stimulating therapy device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the head specified area stimulating device is provided in the case which is fitted and fixed to the upper part of the motor case, an upper end of the interlocking shaft extended upward through the support plate from the lower part of the inside of the case is pivotally suppoted by a bearing, the connecting member is fixed to the lower end of the interlocking shaft, the connecting member is fitted to the polygonal portion of the tip of the shaft of the motor to connect the shaft of the motor to the interlocking shaft, projecting members are provided on the upper part of the interlocking shaft, a rear end portion of the rod is inserted into the hole of the holding plate provided in the case so as to move laterally, the tip portion of the rod is extended to the opening portion side through the wall, the plate is fixed to the tip of the rod, the specified area stimulating member having elasticity provided with a large bumber of projections is fixed on the surface of the plate, a coil spring is provided on the outer periphery of the rod between the wall and the plate, and a pawl member engaging the projecting member and a stopper for blocking the advancement of the rod within a fixed value are provided on the rod.

4. The whole body specified area stimulating therapy device as claimed in claim 3 wherein the specified area stimulating member having elasticity provided with a large number of projections of the head specified area stimulating device is mounted on the outer peripheral edge of the opening portion of the case as a cover.
