Abstract:
A vibrating strap consisting of an outer component which is a thin, tough, more or less rectangular, flexible, tough strap with terminal and subterminal means for securing said strap around and/or over areas of the human body to be vibrated and is provided with an internal pad and means for securing a standard vibrator centrally onto the outer surface of said outer component. The pad consists of one or more thin, soft, resilient pieces separate from or bonded to the inner surface of said outer component. Said pad may consist of two or more pieces separated to provide space between. In preparation for use said outer component with said internal pad is wrapped around members of said human body and secured with subterminal snap-like means or oriented over areas of the human body to be vibrated and secured by terminal eyelet-like means. Pads designed with spaces between pieces are secured so that said spaces are oriented over sensitive areas of the human body. Thus said outer component holds said pad internally and said vibrator externally so as to comprise said vibrating strap.
