## Background
FIELD
This document relates to a powered massager, and in particular to a powered massager with coaxially mounted massage actuators.
BACKGROUND
Powered massagers are known in the art for providing a massaging effect to the user. In particular, a powered massager in the form of sexual aid device may have several massage actuators mounted to a single device with one massage actuator being applied to one area of the body while the other massage actuator is applied to another area of the body. In some instances, the user may desire to insert the sexual aid device inside a single body cavity such that both massage actuators are simultaneously applied to the same area of the body at the same time. However, prior sexual aid devices have positioned these multiple massage actuators along different axes of the device in order for a single device to accommodate more than one massage actuator due to the difficulty of structurally and operationally mounting more than one massage actuator along the same axis. A typical prior art sexual aid device may have an elongated tubular main body with one massage actuator disposed along the main axis of the body, while the other massage actuator is disposed along a secondary branch extending from the main body at an axis different from the main axis of the device. Unfortunately, this bifurcated configuration of the massage actuators mounted along different axes of the device prevents the user from being able to apply both massage actuators simultaneously to the same area of the body, such as inside the same body cavity of the user.
Therefore, there is a need in the art for a powered massager having more than one massage actuator mounted along the same axis of the device.
SUMMARY
In one embodiment, a powered massager may include a hand-held unit including a casing containing a power source and having a control panel for controlling the operation of the powered massager. The first massage actuator may be coaxially mounted to the casing for providing a first massage action and a second massage actuator coaxially mounted to the first massage actuator for providing a second massage action, wherein the first and second massage actuators are coaxially mounted along the same axis of the powered massager.
In another embodiment, a powered massager may include a hand-held unit including a casing containing a power source and having a control panel for controlling the operation of the powered massager. The power source may be operatively associated with an electric motor adapted to rotate an output shaft through a gear box arrangement. A squirming massage actuator may be coaxially mounted to the casing for providing a first massage action with the squirming massage actuator including a plurality of frames operatively engaged to the output shaft. Each of the plurality of frames may have at least one pivoting support arrangement for a plurality of pivoting rolling members. In addition, a vibratory massage actuator may be coaxially mounted to the squirming massage actuator for providing a second massage action, wherein the squirming massage actuator and the vibratory massage actuator are coaxially mounted to one another along the main axis of the powered massager.
In yet another embodiment, a powered massager may include a hand-held unit including a casing containing a power source and having a control panel for controlling the operation of the powered massager. The power source may be operatively associated with an electric motor adapted to rotate an output shaft through a gear box arrangement. A squirming massage actuator may be coaxially mounted to the casing for providing a squirming massage action with the squirming massage actuator including a plurality of frames operatively engaged to the output shaft, wherein each of the plurality of frames having at least one pivoting support arrangement for a respective plurality of pivoting rolling members. A vibratory massage actuator may be coaxially mounted to the squirming massage actuator for providing a vibratory massage action, wherein the vibratory massage actuator includes a body defining a cavity adapted to receive a vibratory component, wherein the vibratory massage actuator includes one or more conductive rings in operative association with a biased pin and rivet arrangement. The engagement of the biased pin with the rivet establishes power between the one or more conductive rings and the power source. The squirming massage actuator and the vibratory massage actuator may be coaxially mounted to one another along the same longitudinal axis of the powered massager.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, the control panel 24 may operate the squirming massage actuator 20 through an electric motor 196 that drives a gear box 198 that are collectively disposed inside a gear housing 22 attached to the hand-held unit 12. As shown, the vibratory massage actuator 18 and the squirming massage actuator 20 may be coaxially mounted along a longitudinal main axis A of the power massager 10. As used herein, the term “proximal” shall mean the side or portion of the powered massager 10 that faces the casing 28, while the term “distal” shall mean the side or portion of the powered massager 10 that faces away from the casing 28.
In one embodiment, the vibratory massage actuator 18 and the squirming massage actuator 20 may be disposed inside a flexible outer sleeve 16 that is adapted for transmitting to the user the respective massage effects generated by operation of the vibratory massage actuator 18 and squirming massage actuator 20. In one embodiment, the flexible outer sleeve 16 may have a generally tubular configuration with a rounded distal portion, although in other embodiments the flexible outer sleeve 16 may have different shapes, such as different phallic configurations.
Referring to FIG. 2, the vibratory massage actuator 18 generates vibratory and/or pulsating massage effect. In one embodiment, the vibratory massage actuator 18 may include a pole cover 48 engaged to hollow cap 32 and a pole box 68. The hollow cap 32 defines a center cavity 36 in communication with a flange 34 with the circumferential edge of the flange 34 defining a slot 40 adapted for engagement with an inward protrusion (not shown) defined inside the pole cover 48 when engaging the pole cover 48 to the hollow cap 32. The vibratory massage actuator 18 further includes a vibratory component 38 disposed inside the center cavity 36 of the hollow cap 32 for generating the vibratory or pulsating massage effects. The vibratory component 38 includes an electric motor 39 having a rotating rod (not shown) that spins an eccentric mass 42 such that the vibratory and/or pulsating effect is transmitted through the hollow cap 32. The electric motor 39 further includes a pair of electrodes 44 that provide electrical power to the electric motor 39. During assembly, the electric motor 39 is disposed inside the center cavity 36 of the hollow cap 32 and may be bonded or otherwise secured to the distal end of the pole cover 48 to form one unit during assembly.
The pole cover 48 may define a circular step portion 50 along its external circumference and a recess 59 along its proximal end. The recess 59 of pole cover 48 communicates with a pair of bosses 52 with each boss 52 defining a through-hole 54 for accommodating a respective metal pin 66 and rivet 60. In one embodiment, metal pins 66 may be a pair of metal pins 66a and 66b used to establish a conductive pathway with a pair of metal rivets 60, such as metal rivets 60a and 60b. As such, each metal pin 66a and 66b is operatively associated with a respective rivet head 62a and 62b of metal rivets 60a and 60b, respectively, through respective spring 64 for establishing a conductive pathway between the power source and the electrodes 44 of the electric motor 39 to actuate the vibratory component 38. Once the electric motor 39 of vibratory component 38 and the hollow cap 32 are assembled with the pole cover 48, each of the electrodes 44 is operatively associated with respective rivets 60a and 60b to provide electrical power to the electric motor 39. The recess 59 of the pole cover 48 further communicates with a center boss 56 defining a center through-hole 58.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the proximal portion of the pole cover 48 is engaged to the pole box 68 when assembling the vibratory massage actuator 18. The pole box 68 includes a distal recess (not shown) on one side and a proximal recess 71 on the opposite side thereof defining a bottom face 70 that includes a pair of stepped holes (not shown) defining through-holes 72 which communicate with both proximal and distal recesses of the pole box 68. As noted above, the pair of metal springs 64 may be disposed within the distal recess of the pole box 68 that are operatively engaged to a respective pair of metal pins 66a and 66b respective through-holes 72. When assembled, the springs 64 become compressed and the distal ends of the metal springs 64 become biased against and operatively associated with respective rivet heads 62a and 62b of metal rivets 60a and 60b, respectively, while the opposite proximal end of the metal springs 64 are biased against and operatively associated with respective pin heads 67a and 67b of metal pins 66a and 66b, respectively. In operation, the compressed springs 64 may apply a bias against respective pin heads 66a and 66b that axially slide within respective through-holes 72 towards operative engagement with respective conductive rings 76 and 80 such that pin 66a contacts conductive ring 76 and pin 66b contacts conductive ring 80. A pair of knobs 74 may protrude from the bottom face 70 of the proximal recess 71. After the powered massager 10 is assembled, the proximal end of the metal pins 66 will protrude from the bottom face 70 to a height approximately the same as the knobs 74.
Referring to FIG. 3, the squirming massage actuator 20 is coaxially mounted to the gear box 198 below the vibratory massage actuator 18. In one embodiment, the squirming massage actuator 20 may include a body collectively comprising an uppermost frame 96, upper intermediate frame 110, lower intermediate frame 124 and lowermost frame 136. The uppermost frame 96 defines a distal recess (not shown) adapted to engage a ring-mounting frame 84 therein.

The center blocks 112, 114 each define a pair of through-holes 118 adapted for receiving the electric wires 210, 216. A plurality of posts 120 may also be circumferentially distributed on the distal and proximal sides of the upper intermediate frame 110 to form a pivoting support arrangement for rolling members 122 and 123, respectively.
The lower intermediate frame 124 of the squirming massage actuator 20 may include a center block 126 on the distal side having a hexagonal boss 128 for engagement with the hexagonal hole 116 of the upper intermediate frame 110 when engaging frame 110 to frame 124. The proximal side of the lower intermediate frame 124 may include a center block 130 having a hexagonal hole 132 for engagement with a hexagonal boss 140 of the lowermost frame 136. Similar to frames 96 and 110, blocks 126 and 130 of the lower intermediate frame 124 define a pair of through-holes 134 adapted to receive electric wires 210 and 216. In addition, the proximal side of the lower intermediate frame 124 includes a plurality of posts 121 circumferentially distributed on the distal and proximal sides of frame 124 to provide a pivoting support arrangement for the rolling members 123 and 125, respectively.

The ring-mounting frame 146 of the squirming massage actuator 20 may define first and second concentric recessions 154 and 156 sized and shaped for accommodating first and second conductive rings 162 and 168, respectively. In addition, the distal portion of the ring-mounting frame 146 includes a center boss 148 that may communicate with a center through-hole 152 sized and shaped for accommodating protrusions 201 of output shaft 200. As shown, the first conductive ring 162 includes a pair of opposing tabs 164, while the second conductive ring 168 also includes a pair of opposing tabs 170. The first concentric recession may define a pair of through-holes 158 adapted to receive tabs 164 such that the free end of tabs 164 may be bent for retaining the first conductive ring 162 in position within recession 154. Similarly, the second concentric recession 156 may define a pair of through-holes 160 adapted to receive tabs 170 such that the free ends of tabs 170 may be bent during assembly to retain the second conductive ring 168 in position within recession 156.
After the first and second conductive rings 162 and 168 are engaged within the first and second concentric recessions 154 and 156, the conductive end 214 of electric wire 210 may be inserted through one of the pair of through-holes 143 and then soldered onto one of the tabs 164, while the conductive end 220 of electric wire 216 may be inserted through the other through-hole 143 and then soldered onto one of the tabs 170. Once so assembled, the conductive ring 76 is conductively connected to the conductive ring 162 through electric wire 210, while conductive ring 80 is conductively connected to conductive ring 168 through electric wire 216. In this arrangement, a conductive pathway is established between the proximal end and the distal end of the power source and the squirming massage actuator 20, respectively.
Referring to FIG. 4, a lower pole cover 172 and a lower pole box 190 are collectively positioned between the squirming massage actuator 20 and the gear housing 22 of the powered massager 10. The lower pole cover 172 may define a stepped circular portion 174, while the proximal side of cover 172 may define a recess 175 that communicates with a pair of bosses 176. Each boss 176 may define a stepped hole 177 having a larger circular section sized and shaped to accommodate an arrangement of a metal pin 180 and metal spring 182 that forms a portion of the conductive pathway. As shown in FIG. 5, boss 176a defines a stepped hole 177 for accommodating the metal pin 180a and metal spring 182, while boss 176b is adapted for accommodating the metal pin 180b and metal spring 180.
Referring back to FIG. 4, the lower pole cover 172 may define a protrusion 178 positioned within the recess 175 that is adapted to engage a slot (not shown) defined along the circular portion 192 of the lower pole box 190 when engaging the cover 172 to box 190. The lower pole box 190 may include a plurality of segmented circular portions 194 that extends axially outward from the proximal side of box 190.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, metal rivets 184 may be inserted into through-holes (210) defined along the recess of lower pole box 190. The cover 172 may then be engaged to the circular portion 192 of the pole box 190. In this arrangement, the proximal end of the springs 182 are operatively engaged to a respective metal rivet 184, while the distal end of the springs 182 are operatively engaged to a respective metal pin 181. As shown, a metal pins 180a and 180b extend outwardly from the bottom face (not shown) of the distal recess of cover 172. In operation, the compressed state of the springs 182 apply a bias against the respective metal pins 180 disposed within through-holes 177 such that metal pin 180a is brought into contact with conductive ring 162 and metal pin 180b is brought into contact with conductive ring 168 such that the squirming massage actuator 20 may receive electrical power.
Referring to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, gear box 198 may be operatively engaged to output shaft 200 for mechanically driving the squirming massage actuator 20 when made operational by the control panel 24. The electric motor 196 rotates the output shaft 200 via gear box 198 for actuating the squirming action generated by the squirming massage actuator 20. In one embodiment, the outer sleeve 16 may be engaged to the hand-held unit 12 such that the vibratory massage actuator 18, squirming massage actuator 20 and gear housing 22 are fully encased inside the outer sleeve 16. As discussed above, the output shaft 200 includes a pair of knob-like protrusions 201 which are adapted to engage respective center hole 152 of ring-mounting frame 146 such that there is no relative angular rotation between the output shaft 200 and the squirming massage actuator 20. As a result, when the electric motor 196 rotates the output shaft 200 through gear box 198, torque is generated through the ring-mounting frame 146 and the lowermost frame 136 that is then imparted to the other frames 124, 110, and 96 of the squirming massage actuator 20 to generate the squirming action.
During operation of the powered massager 10, the output shaft 200 rotates such that there is a relative rotation established between the proximal end of the squirming massage actuator 20, e.g., ring-mounting frame 146, and the lower pole cover 172, thereby causing the metal pins 180a and 180b to be biased by respective springs 182 and contact conductive rings 162 and 168, respectively, thereby establishing a conductive pathway between the power source and the squirming massage actuator 20. Similarly, at the distal end of the output shaft 200, the same relative rotation is established between the distal end of the squirming massage actuator 20 and the vibratory massage actuator 18, thereby causing the springs 64 to bias respective pins 66a and 66b to be brought into contact respective conductive rings 76 and 80, thereby establishing a conductive pathway between the power source and the vibratory massage actuator 18. As such, this arrangement that establishes the conductive pathway permits electric power to be delivered from the hand-held unit 12 to the vibratory massage actuator 18 despite the structural movement of the interrelating components and frames of the squirming massage actuator 20 that are physically interposed between the hand-held unit 12 and vibratory massage actuator 18.
It should be understood from the foregoing that, while particular embodiments have been illustrated and described, various modifications can be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications are within the scope and teachings of this invention as defined in the claims appended hereto.
