Multi-functional abdominal cramp reducing device and associated method
First Claim
1. A portable electronic device for reducing periodic cramping about an abdominal cavity of a user during a menstrual cycle, said electronic device comprising:
- a panty garment formed from elastic material and having a plurality of pouches mated directly to an inner surface such that said pouches are invisible from an exterior of said panty garment thereof;
a controller removably attached directly to an outer surface of said panty garment;
a plurality of electro-mechanical transducers generating output vibrations, said transducers being removably seated within said pouches and juxtaposed along a major surface area of said panty garment such that output vibrations are distributed through out anterior and posterior faces of the abdominal cavity; and
a plurality of heatable magnetic straps being directly coupled to said outer surface of said panty garment and extending along an entire perimeter thereof such that said heatable magnetic straps continuously extend about said anterior and posterior faces of said panty garment;
wherein said heatable magnetic straps are simultaneously actuated to a desired temperature level while said transducers are actuated to an on position, said heatable magnetic straps being freely movable along said outer surface of said panty garment while said transducers are nested within said pouches.

9. A method for treating cramping muscles occurring along an abdominal cavity of a user during a menstrual cycle, said method comprising the steps of:
-
a. providing a panty garment formed from elastic material and having a plurality of pouches mated directly to an inner surface such that said pouches are invisible from an exterior of said panty garment thereof; b. positioning said panty garment about the abdominal cavity of the user by inserting both user legs through bottom openings formed within said panty garment; c. removably attaching a controller directly to an outer surface of said panty garment; d. removably seating a plurality of electro-mechanical transducers generating output vibrations within said pouches by juxtaposing said transducers along a major surface area of said panty garment such that output vibrations are distributed through out anterior and posterior faces of the abdominal cavity; e. directly coupling a plurality of heatable magnetic straps to said outer surface of said panty garment by extending said heatable magnetic straps along an entire perimeter thereof such that said heatable magnetic straps continuously extend about said anterior and posterior faces of said panty garment; f. actuating said heatable magnetic straps to a desired temperature level while simultaneously actuating said transducers to an on position; and g. freely moving said heatable magnetic straps along said outer surface of said panty garment while said transducers are nested within said pouches. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
