A massager has a base, a motor assembly mounted on the base and having a worm shaft extending out of the motor, a transmission assembly including a transmission axle, a linking gear to mate with the worm gear, two secondary gears to drive two horizontal gears of a rubbing assembly and two pairs of kneading assemblies being respectively provided on opposite sides of the central seat to wabble when the transmission axle is rotated. Therefore, rotation of the rubbing assembly and wobbling movement ...

A limb support and the like is formed from a block of polyurethane foam having resilient characteristics, capable of permitting the passage of air and being of such configuration as to include a continuous open topped arcuate groove extending longitudinally along the length of the block for receiving, cradling and resiliently gripping the limb of a hospitalized patient to avoid rotation of the limb supported thereby.

Disclosed is a limb exerciser mainly including an outer wheel housing and an inner wheel set in the outer wheel housing. With frictional members disposed between the contact surfaces of the outer wheel housing and the inner wheel, as well as actuating members oppositely disposed at two sides of the inner wheel, the inner wheel can be rotated relative to the outer wheel housing by pushing or pedalling the actuating members to produce frictional force or resistance and thereby helps the user to co...

The present invention relates to an articulated limb protection system and device for use in sports events such as ice hockey, street hockey, roller hockey and the like. The system or device comprises a buffer pocket which is disposed between an outer joint guard means and an inner joint guard means. The inner joint guard means is articulately connected to an adjacent limb guard means so that the inner joint guard means pivots relative to the limb member in response to bending action of the prot...

A device for oscillating the legs of a patient comprises a vertical center member having means for mounting said member upon a base, a horizontal member moveably mounted on said vertical center member such that the point of mounting provides a fulcrum around which said horizontal member can oscillate, vertical end members extending downward from near the ends of said horizontal member, said vertical end members being provided with stirrups for supporting the feet of the patient and means for osc...

A tree limb is vibrated to shake the fruit therefrom. A small lightweight internal combustion engine, such as is used for power saws, is used and it is isolated from the boom by a spring and the boom is isolated from the tree engaging finger by a second spring, thereby permitting the boom and limb to have a greater amplitude of movement than the reciprocating exciter of the engine assembly and also the limb engaging finger can move with respect to the boom to accommodate for different angles. Th...

A stabilizer for stabilizing a limb of an animal, an elongated trough-shaped base for supporting the limb, a trough-shaped extension, integrally connected to the base, and extending therefrom at an acute angle relative to the axis of the base. An elongated trough-shaped cover is connectable to the base. Additionally, a curved, trough-shaped support and means for fastening the support to the base are provided.

A self-operated apparatus particularly adapted for massaging a user's wrist and forearm affected by repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome comprises two clamping arms hingedly joined at one end and provided with cooperating handles at the other ends. Rollers and balls are mounted on opposite median sections of the arms. The hinged ends of the arms are universally attached to a support that can be strapped over the user's thigh, whereby an arm can be adjustably clamped between ...

A limb protector comprising a knee element. In a preferred embodiment the knee element is pivotally coupled to an outer shell shin element. Padding is positioned between the leg and the outer shell(s) and may be formed of a shock absorbent foam, a plurality of interconnected fluid filled cushions, or a combination thereof. The padding may be coupled to the outer shell shin element so as to create a gap between itself and the outer shell shin element. Alternatively, the padding may positioned on ...

Contact sport protection sleeves and pads are provided for the forearm, elbow, knee and shin of the players including at least one protection panel of flexible elastomeric polymeric foam or of rigid plastic attached to an elastomeric sleeve with two flexible elastomeric polymeric foam edge pads abutting the lengthwise edges of the protection panel with the panel and edge pads all enveloped in elastomeric fabric with stitching between the abutting of the panel and the two edge pads providing extr...
