Combined air pulsator and movable pedestal
A portable human body pulsating apparatus has an air pulse generator mounted on a pedestal having wheels to facilitate movement of the apparatus on a surface. The pedestal has an upright piston and cylinder assembly operable to adjust the elevation of the air pulse generator.
1. A portable human body pulsating apparatus useable with a vest located around the human body to apply repetitive compression forces to the body comprising:
a generator for creating air pressure and air pressure pulses adapted to be transmitted to the vest,
said generator including a housing,
said housing having a top wall and upright walls on opposite sides of the housing,
a pedestal having an upper end and a lower end,
a frame assembly secured to the upper end of the pedestal,
said frame assembly including horizontal members,
a horizontal platform mounted on the horizontal members supporting the housing,
upright inverted U-shaped arms joined to the horizontal members located adjacent the upright walls of the housing,
fasteners connecting the upright inverted U-shaped arms to the upright walls of the housing to secure the generator to the frame assembly and maintain the housing on the platform,
said pedestal including a single upright piston and cylinder assembly operable to adjust the elevation of the generator,
a base having outwardly extended legs connected to the piston and cylinder assembly,
wheels mounted on the legs to facilitate movement of the apparatus on a surface, and
at least one handle secured to and extended outwardly from one of the upright inverted U-shaped arms for manually facilitating movement of the apparatus on a surface and adjustment of the elevation of the generator.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 including:
a handle secured to and extended outwardly from each upright inverted U-shaped arm for manually facilitating movement of the apparatus on the surface and adjustment of the elevation of the generator.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 including:
a second handle joined to the top wall of the housing for manually facilitating adjustment of the elevation of the generator.
4. A portable human body pulsating apparatus useable with a vest located around the human body to apply repetitive compression forces to the body comprising:
a generator for creating air pressure and air pressure pulses adapted to be transmitted to the vest,
said generator including a housing,
said housing having a top wall and upright walls on opposite sides of the housing,
a pedestal having an upper end and a lower end,
a frame assembly secured to the upper end of the pedestal,
said frame assembly including horizontal members,
a horizontal platform mounted on the horizontal members supporting the housing,
upright inverted U-shaped arms joined to the horizontal members located adjacent the upright walls of the housing,
fasteners connecting the upright inverted U-shaped arms to the upright walls of the housing to secure the generator to the frame assembly and maintain the housing on the platform,
said pedestal including a single upright piston and cylinder assembly operable to adjust the elevation of the generator,
a base having outwardly extended legs connected to the piston and cylinder assembly,
wheels mounted on the legs to facilitate movement of the apparatus on a surface,
first handles secured to and extended outwardly from the upright inverted U-shaped arms for manually facilitating movement of the apparatus on the surface and adjustment of the elevation of the generator, and
a second handle joined to the top wall of the housing for manually facilitating adjustment of the elevation of the generator.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein:
each of the first handles have a U-shape.
