Abstract: 19,707. Wiking, H., and Bengtsson, J. Aug. 27, 1908, [Convention date]. Vibratory treatment.-A vibrational massage apparatus comprises two eccentrically-mounted weights 3, 4 revolving in opposite directions on a common axis 1 and enclosed in a cylindrical casing 13 at the end of a handle 2. The weights come into line at the ends of a diameter at right-angles to the handle, so that vibrations are imparted to the casing in this direction. An applicator 21, which is adjustable through ninety degrees by means of a slit 22, in the casing 13, transmits the vibrations to the body when it is at right-angles to the handle, and produces only a rubbing effect when it is in line with the handle. The weights are revolved by means of a hand-wheel 9, shaft 8, and bevelwheels. On the hubs of the weights are fixed two arms 14, 16, of which the arm 14 passes loosely through the weight, while the arm 16 is enclosed by a spring 15, pressing at one end against the hub, ana at the other on a bracket 18 attached to the weight. When the speed of rotation is increased, the weight travels outwards on the arm 14 against the action of the spring 15, thus increasing the force of the vibrations. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the following subject-matter. The weights 3, 4 may be actuated by means of common spurwheels, the shaft 1 being replaced by two parallel shafts so arranged that a spur-wheel on the hub of one weight acts on the wheel of the other weight. The slit 22 for adjusting the position of the applicator may be replaced by a rail on the outside of the casing 13, the arm 20 of the applicator having a fork &c., which engages the rail and can be fixed by a screw &c. The lower part of the handle may be loosely attached to the upper part, and constructed so that it can be fastened at any inclination.
