Abstract

The present invention provides a novel wearable vibration device. According to an embodiment, the novel wearable vibration device delivering high energy vibration deep in to the muscles and soft tissues for muscle treatment comprising an upper soft fabric foam covered case encompassing at least a vibration motor a lithium ion battery, a control PCB, a control switch with LED display and a lower fabric covered case. The wearable vibration device delivers high energy vibration to the chosen muscle group and thereby, penetrates deep in to the muscle and to the soft tissues. The upper soft fabric foam covered case and lower fabric covered cases are fixed together by gluing or stitching. The control PCB drives vibration motor to set frequencies for vibration motor activations. Vibrations for the device are tuned at frequencies in the range of 30-50 Hz to increase muscle power and for other beneficial physiological effects.

Claims (14)

1. A wearable vibration device adapted to deliver high energy vibration deep in to muscles and soft tissues for muscle treatment comprising:

a housing comprised from an upper fabric foam cover and a lower fabric covered base, said housing adapted to bend in at least two planes to adhere to any surface area of a body part;

internal components including at least one vibration motor; a battery; a control printed circuit board (PCB), said internal components disposed in said housing;

an alignment strap with at least one cutout hole that corresponds to a shape of said at least one vibration motor, said housing adapted to be held in place by aligning said at least one cutout hole of said alignment strap with said at least one vibration motor.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein said upper fabric foam cover and said lower fabric covered base are fixed together by gluing or stitching.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein said high energy vibration is configured to be focused to target specific body locations and configured to penetrates deep in to the muscle and to the soft tissues.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein said high energy vibrations are tuned at frequencies in the range of 30-50 Hz to increase muscle power.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein said alignment strap holding said housing in place is adapted to be tensioned firmly against skin of a user by a hook and loop fastener.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein said control PCB is configured to set frequencies for a sequence of vibration motors activations.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device is adapted to be applied to a chosen muscle or to a specific area of any skin parts of a body.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein said device is configured to improves muscle performance and acts as a sports recovery tool and therapy tool.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein said housing is incorporated into a garment or fabric sleeve.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein said lower fabric covered base comprises vibration passage foam with soft fabric covering.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein said housing has a convex polygon shape.
