Vibrator
First Claim
1. A vibrator comprising an engagement face (11) which is adapted to engage a part of a body, and which is driven by an electric motor (18), and an elongate housing (1) comprising a longitudinally extending shaft (9) connected with the motor, an amplitude regulating device (2) for regulating the amplitude of the upward and downward movement of the engagement face (11) in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft (9), said amplitude regulating device (2) comprising an inclined shaft (15) in extension of the shaft (9), said inclined shaft being slidably mounted in a conversion element (14) having a through hole, said conversion element (14) being mounted rotatably and slidably in a recess in an arm (13) which is rigidly connected to the engagement face (11), said recess having a width greater than the width of the conversion element (14) and having an extent in the width which is substantially perpendicular to the direction of the upward and downward movement of the engagement face (11), and wherein the housing also comprises a frequency regulating device for regulating the frequency of the upward and downward movement of the engagement face (11).

Abstract
A vibrator comprising an engagement face (11) which is adapted to engage a part of a body, and which is driven by an electric motor (18). The vibrator moreover comprises a housing (1) comprising a shaft (9) connected with the motor, and the vibrator has a frequency regulating device and an amplitude regulating device (2) for regulating the frequency and the amplitude, respectively, of the upward and downward movement of the engagement face. The vibrator is characterized in that the amplitude regulating device (2) comprises an inclined shaft (15) in extension of the shaft (9) connected with the motor, said inclined shaft being slidably mounted in a conversion element (14) having a through hole. The conversion element (14) is rotatably and slidably mounted in a recess in an arm (13) which is directly secured with respect to the engagement face (11), said recess having a width greater than the width of the conversion element and having an extent in the width which is substantially perpendicular to the direction of the upward and downward movement of the engagement face.
