Abstract 369,538. Massage; vibratory treatment. STOCKERT, G., 37, Ahorn-Allee, Breslau, and STOCKERT, R., 8, Breslauerstrasse, Obernigk, both in Germany. Nov. 17, 1931, No. 31821. Convention date, April 21. [Class 81 (ii).] In a massaging implement, the driving element comprises an electric motor of the kind provided with an armature b without winding, oscillating about an axle. The massaging element may be attached directly to the armature shaft or through a flexible shaft. One form, shown in Fig. 2, consists of a disc covered by a rubber cap g faced with projections. Another form consists of a rubber cylinder fitted with circumferential projections. In Fig. 5, the driving shaft q is provided with an inclined face for co-operation with a similar face on the piston r<1>, connected to the massaging disc and controlled by a spring. A reciprocating motion is thus obtainable, rotation of the disc being prevented by key s. The armature may or may not be spring-controlled. The motor may be sufficiently small to be contained in the operating handle. Alternating or direct current converted by a commutator may be used.
