Abstract

A temple massage device has a resilient frame, straps for attachment, temple massaging pads and a vibrator, vibrating in the direction to cause the pads to massage the temples.

Claims

1. Temple massage device comprising:

a resiliently bendable frame adapted to longitudually extend about the front of the head to locations respectively corresponding to the temple area of the wearer,

an adjustable length flexible strap connected to each end of the frame adapted to extend about the rear of the head to maintain said frame in position on said head,

means on said frame for contacting the head at the approximately centre of the forehead

a means on said frame adapted to contact each temple;

rotary vibrating means for causing vibrations in directions radial to an axis transverse to the head of the wearer said means being located at the front of the frame,

power unit including battery and motor means for driving said vibrating means located on said frame,

wherein means are provided allowing adjusting of said temple contacting means forwardly and backwardly relative to said frame.

4. Device as claimed in claim 1 including a speed control for said vibrating means.

6. Device as claimed in claim 1 wherein means are provided for adjusting the distance between said temple contacting means.

8. Device as claimed in claim 4 wherein means are provided for adjusting the distance between said temple contacting means.

2. Temple massage device comprising:

a resiliently bendable frame adapted to longitudinally extend about the front of the head to locations respectively corresponding to the temple area of the wearer,

an adjustable length flexible strap connected to each end of the frame adapted to extend about the rear of the head to maintain said frame in position on said head,

means on said frame for contacting the head at the approximate centre of the forehead,

a means on said frame adapted to contact each temple;

rotary vibrating means for causing vibrations in directions radial to an axis, said axis being parallel to a line joining the means to contact each temple, said vibrating means being located at the front of the frame,

power unit including battery and motor means for driving said vibrating means located on said frame,

wherein said means for contacting the approximate center of the forehead is of a soft material adapted to tend to absorb said vibrations and said temple contacting means is of harder material tending to transmit the vibrations to the temple area,

and wherein means are provided allowing adjustment of said temple contacting means forwardly and backwardly relative to said frame.

5. Device as claimed in claim 2 including a speed control for said vibrating means.

7. Device as claimed in claim 2 wherein means are provided for adjusting the distance between said temple contacting means.

9. Device as claimed in claim 5 wherein means are provided for adjusting the distance between said temple contacting means.

3. Temple massage device comprising:

a resiliently bendable frame adapted to longitudually extend about the front of the head to locations respectively corresponding to the temple area of the wearer,

an adjustable length flexible strap connected to each end of the frame adapted to extend about the rear of the head to maintain said frame in position on said head,

means on said frame for contacting the head at the approximate centre of the forehead,

a means on said frame adapted to contact each temple rotary vibrating means for causing vibrations in directions radial to an axis, said axis being parallel to a line joining the means to contact each temple, said vibrating means being located at the front of the frame,

power unit including battery and motor means for driving said vibrating means located on said frame,

wherein there are means mounting one of the temple contacting means on said frame which mounting means incorporates means for adjusting the distance between the temple contacting means.
