Abstract

The present invention A massaging apparatus for human breast, said apparatus comprised of: an electrical pump, a bra having: at least two inflatable tubes having two opening at their edges integrated at each side of the bra encircling one breast organ, wherein each inflatable tube is connected by T shape connector, wherein through pipe to the electronic pump and control module for controlling the inflation of the tubes; wherein the tube are inflated simultaneous at both edges creating dual simultaneous pressure at different size of the breast organ.

Claims (21)

1. A massaging apparatus for a human breast, said apparatus comprising:

an air pump unit;

a bra having at least an inner inflatable tube and an outer inflatable tube, each having an air inlet, at each side of the bra and configured to encircle each breast, wherein each inflatable tube is connected by a connector connected to the air pump unit;

at least one biofeedback sensor located on the bra, wherein the biofeedback sensor is configured to measure directly a biologic parameter relating to a human body including one of: body temperature, heart rate, skin salinity; and

a control module which controls the air pump unit for controlling speed and/or intensity of inflation of each of the inflatable tubes, wherein each tube is inflated at each of two ends of the tube creating dual simultaneous pressure configured to be applied at different locations of a breast organ;

wherein data collected by the at least one biofeedback sensor is transmitted to a computational module within the control module wherein the control module collects bio-feedback information from the at least one biofeedback sensor reflecting effectiveness of applied actions;

wherein the air pump unit is configured to provide movement similar to a sensation of a massage given by a human masseuse, and inflates, separately, each tube at different times according to a pre-defined protocol selected by the user in order to concentrate pressure to specific locations, wherein real time continuous biofeedback of sensor data reflecting effectiveness of applied massage actions, and determined according to the biologic parameter, is stored and displayed, and speed and/or intensity of inflation of the inner inflatable tube and the outer inflatable tube at each side of the bra are separately determined;

wherein all of the following predefined protocols are available to the user for selection:

a first profile, where the inner tubes and the outer tubes are activated together, having equal inflation and deflation periods,

a second profile where the inflation and deflation periods are unequal;

a third profile where the inflation and deflation of the inner tubes and the outer tubes are out of sync, and exactly opposite to each other;

and wherein the connector is comprised of a lower part and an upper part, wherein the lower part has a double air inlet, which connects to the air pump unit via tubes, and the upper part includes a pair of double air outlets, each pair connected to one side of the bra, wherein each outlet of the pair of double air outlets is connected to a different bra tube, one of each pair to the inner tube of each respective side of the bra, and one of each pair to the outer tube of each respective side of the bra,

wherein the air pump unit is configured to control each tube separately, enabling the air pump unit to apply different inflating protocols, wherein within the connector are included two O-ring seals and an elastic support interfacing with the two O-ring seals and having two holes corresponding to the O-ring seals, wherein the elastic support has a disk shape corresponding to an interior of the connector, the elastic support elastically supporting the O-ring seals interfacing with the two holes of the elastic support.

2. The massaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a first part of each inflatable tube is relatively thicker than a second part.

3. The massaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the air pump unit concentrates pressure to specific locations by inflating each inflatable tube separately.

4. The massaging apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising heating elements comprising conductive wires in the bra, and wherein the air pump unit includes output interfaces to electric wires that convey electric power to said heating elements.

5. The massaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein vibration elements are embedded in the bra and the air pump unit includes output interfaces to electric wires that convey electric power to said vibration elements.

6. The massaging apparatus of claim of claim 1 , wherein the air pump unit simultaneously applies a combination of functions of massage, vibration and heating at predefined timing periods.

7. The massaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein part of the inflatable tubes have a restricting film, wherein said restricting film prevents the inflatable tube from expanding in an isotropic manner.

8. The massaging apparatus of claim 7 , wherein rings of a restricting film are spaced around a circumference of each inflatable tube.

9. The massaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connector includes two air inlets connected to the air pump unit and two pairs of air outlets connected to the outer inflatable tube and inner inflatable tube, enabling the air pump unit to inflate each of the inflatable tubes separately according to a pre-defined protocol.
