Patent ID: 6851146

Claim:
A neck pillow system for generating internal vibrations in a safe and relaxing manner while shampooing a patron's hair comprising, in combination: a pillow positionable over a curved indentation at the edge of a shampooing sink, the pillow having a curved central extent shaped to conform with the indentation of the sink and a downwardly extending leg positionable in a vertical plane exteriorly of the sink, the leg having a large rectangular aperture for weight reduction purposes, the leg and pillow being fabricated of an external waterproof material configured to seal the interior of the leg and pillow; a layer of elastomeric foam interior of the pillow in the curved central extent thereof; a rotatable eccentric in a generally semi-circular configuration with a periphery and a vertical axis of rotation; a plurality of balls secured to the periphery of the eccentric for rotation there with; a motor with a driven shaft rotatable in the axis of rotation, the shaft having a lower end supported by the motor, the shaft having an upper end with a bushing supporting the upper end of the shaft to extend the life of the motor; a motor enclosure coupled to the leg beneath the pillow and fabricated of plastic with an electrical cord and a waterproof connection to the motor, the enclosure and its contents being enclosed within a waterproof material; an electrical circuit for powering the motor with a ground fault interruption to protect a user and patron from electrical shocks during operation and shampooing use while a patron's neck is on the pillow, all of the components of the system being waterproof; and a switch on the exterior surface of the enclosure for activating and inactivating the motor and a control knob on the vibrational unit which will adjust the intensity of the desired vibration.
