Claim Text:
1. A vibration generating assembly, comprising: an exterior housing which defines an internal cavity, and wherein the exterior housing has opposite first and second ends; a reciprocally moveable carriage which is biasingly supported within the internal cavity of the housing; and an electrical transducer having a magnet and which is supported by, and reciprocally moveable relative to, the biasingly supported carriage, and wherein the electrical transducer further has a fixed, cylindrically shaped electrical coil which is mounted on the exterior housing, and wherein the magnet comprises a reciprocally moveable reactive mass which is concentrically mounted in spaced, coaxially relation relative to the fixed, cylindrically shaped electrical coil, and wherein the selective energizing of the electrical transducer imparts reciprocal motion of the moveable reactive mass and so generates a reciprocal force which is directed along a predetermined linear path of travel.
