Abstract

Pain Relieving and Healing Device with a rigid tubular member being relatively open at the forward use end and closed by an end plate at the rear end. The inside of the tube contains a rigid piston slidably fitting within the inside diameter of the tube and an attached motor and gear assembly for driving the piston between two and five cycles per second. The piston has embedded within it a heat source and a heat radiating plate. The piston capable of traveling at various speeds by use of a solid state motor speed circuit. A preferred embodiment includes a timer circuit and associated LCD display for tracking the time for each healing session.

Claims

1. Pain Relieving and Healing Device comprising:

a rigid tubular member approximately two inches in outside diameter and eight inches long;

said tubular member being relatively open at the forward use end and closed by an end plate at the rear end;

the inside of said tube containing a rigid piston slidably fitting within the inside diameter of said tube and an attached motor and gear assembly for driving said piston between two and five cycles per second;

said piston having embedded within it a heat source and a heat retaining plate;

said front opening of said tube covered by a screen material to prevent a person from touching said heat source; and

said piston capable of traveling at various speeds by use of a solid state motor speed circuit.

2. Pain Relieving and Healing Device as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a timer circuit and associated LCD display for tracking the time for each healing session.

3. Pain Relieving and Healing Device as claimed in claim 1 further comprising an LED light source also embedded into the forward surface of said piston.

4. Pain Relieving and Healing Device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said drive motor and said heater can be powered by a battery pack or by a wall pack transformer and standard voltage and current found in a house or office.

5. Pain Relieving and Healing Device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said piston drive motor, said heater source and said LED are activated and deactivated by external switches.

6. Pain Relieving and Healing Device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said piston includes at least one O ring mounted around said piston'"'"'s perimeter to insure that as much air as possible is drawn into the said tube and pushed out of the said tube by said piston.
