Abstract
Abstract A massage type of portable vibrator including a motor having an eccentric and being enclosed with a housing terminating in a flange on one side thereof. An elongated member, in the form of a U-shaped rod, is attached to the flange by passing through holes therein and therefore rigidly connected to the motor housing to vibrate in response to operation of the motor. The U-shaped rod is disposed in one plane which is co-incident with the plane along the axis of the motor shaft, and the eccentric weight is in a plane transverse to the plane of the U-shaped rod. A removable cover snugly extends over the parts mentioned, and a hem is provided around the edge of the cover at the periphery of the rod. The rod portion of the vibrator can be inserted under a seat cushion or a bed mattress to vibrate the object.
