Patent ID: 7846111

Claim:
A patch suitable to deliver a massaging vibration, as well as a treatment chemical, to a target location, the patch comprising: a pad impregnated with the treatment chemical, wherein the pad comprises an adhesive layer impregnated with that treatment chemical; a motor linked to the patch and so associated with the pad so as to be able to cause the pad to vibrate in massaging fashion when the motor is operating; and means for attaching a battery to the motor; whereby the patch is suitable to be affixed to the target location and left in place during use without a need for a human to otherwise manually hold the patch against the target location during use, and so as to thereby support the motor; wherein the battery and motor are removably linked to the pad in a manner whereby they can be readily both removed from the pad in a way such that the battery and motor can be reused in a second such patch as the battery and motor for that second such patch.
