Abstract
Abstract A head vibrator in which a plurality of massaging fingers are biased towards the skull of the user so that each finger accommodates to the variations in the skull configurations and wherein the massaging fingers are interconnected by a network of vibration transmitting means so that vibrating means connected to said network induces oscillatory movement of the massaging fingers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A head vibrator, including an oversized curvilinear member for the head, a plurality of massaging finger assemblies mounted in said curvilinear member, a network of substantially rigid vibration transmitting elongated members positioned above said curvilinear member, said network connecting all of said finger assemblies, each of said finger assemblies extending through said curvilinear member, and each of said finger assemblies being connected to said network in spaced relationship to one another, vibrating means joined to said network to vibrate said network as a unit and all said finger assemblies, and each of said finger assemblies having an oscillatory member, a resilient working end on said oscillatory body, and means biasing said resilient working end away from the over-sized curvilinear member and towards the skull, said oscillatory body member allowing accommodation of the massaging finger assemblies to variations in the skull configuration and further enhancing vibrating movement of each oscillatory member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
150 words
A head vibrator, including an oversized curvilinear member for the head, a plurality of massaging finger assemblies mounted in said curvilinear member, a network of substantially rigid vibration transmitting elongated members positioned above said curvilinear member, said network connecting all of said finger assemblies, each of said finger assemblies extending through said curvilinear member, and each of said finger assemblies being connected to said network in spaced relationship to one another, vibrating means joined to said network to vibrate said network as a unit and all said finger assemblies, and each of said finger assemblies having an oscillatory member, a resilient working end on said oscillatory body, and means biasing said resilient working end away from the over-sized curvilinear member and towards the skull, said oscillatory body member allowing accommodation of the massaging finger assemblies to variations in the skull configuration and further enhancing vibrating movement of each oscillatory member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A head vibrator which includes the features of claim 1 above, and which further includes a bracket assembly mounted to said curvilinear member, and means on said bracket assembly for mounting same to a support.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
A head vibrator which includes the features of claim 1 above, wherein said oversized curvilinear member is a substantially rigid plastic shell having a continuous curvilinear wall interrupted by the mountings of said finger assemblies.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
57 words
A head vibrator which includes the features of claim 3 above, wherein each massaging finger assembly is mounted in the body of the shell with the resilient working end extending beyond the inside of the shell, and a head of a finger assembly extending beyond the outside of the shell, said head being fixed to said network.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A head vibrator which includes the features of claim 4 above, wherein said biasing means is a coil spring having a top turn fixed to said head and a bottom turn fixed to said oscillatory member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
A head vibrator which includes the features of claim 5 above, wherein said elongated vibration transmitting members are substantially rigid rods, and wherein said network includes aligned rods in substantially meridian parallelism.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
A head vibrator which includes the features of claim 6 above, wherein said vibrating means is a unit which spans two adjacently aligned rods, and is mounted thereto.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
47 words
A head vibrator which includes the features of claim 1 above, wherein a plurality of massaging finger assemblies form a pattern in which none of the working ends of said finger assemblies are coincidental with the skull suture junctions when the head vibrator is mounted for use.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
85 words
A head vibrator which includes the features of claim 1 above, wherein said oscillatory member has an elongated slot and said coil spring being disposed around said oscillatory member, and wherein the finger massaging assembly includes a continuous sidewall housing spaced from said oscillatory member, and the coil spring, said housing having a plurality of adjusting apertures and an adjusting pin movable through the elongated slot and said adjusting apertures to selectively adjust the extension of said oscillating member beyond the inside of the shell.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
33 words
A head vibrator which includes the features of claim 9 above wherein said resilient working end is a removable cap with a socket frictionally fitting on an enlarged head of the oscillatory member.
