Electric periodontal massager
First Claim
1. A periodontal gum and dental care apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
a first shaft being rotatable about an axis;
means for rotatably attaching sid shaft to said housing;
an electric motor means attached to said shaft for selectively rotating said shaft;
crank means disposed on the other end of said shaft, said crakk means being disposed radially outwardly from said axis;
a second shaft having a first end, a second end and an intermediate portion between the first and second ends thereof;
a resilient massaging tip disposed on the first end of said second shaft;
means for resiliently attaching the second end of said second shaft to said housing; and
a resilient linkage having one end thereof attached to said crank means and the other end thereof disposed around said intermediate portion of said second shaft whereby rotation of said first shaft by said electric motor means causes the first end of said second shaft and thereby said resilient massaging tip to move for applying chemicals to and massaging gum tissue.

Abstract
An electric periodontal massager having a housing and a first shaft rotatably disposed therein about an axis. An electric motor is provided for rotating the shaft and a crank is disposed on the other end of the shaft. A second shaft having a rubber or resilient massaging tip thereon is provided for periodontal usage. The other end of the second shaft is resiliently attached to the housing. A resilient linkage has one end thereof attached to the crank of the first shaft and the other end thereof disposed around an intermediate portion of the second shaft whereby rotation of the first shaft by the electric motor causes the first end of the second shaft and thereby the resilient massaging tip to move for applying chemicals to and massaging gum tissue.
