Head massager and distance adjustment device thereof
A head massager includes a helmet ( 10 ) having a first parallel hoop ( 11 ) and a second parallel hoop ( 12 ) connected to each other for forming a ring surrounding the user's head. The helmet ( 10 ) has a first meridian hoop ( 21 ) and a second meridian hoop ( 22 ) connected to each other to form an arc structure and hang the head massager on user's head. The distance adjustment devices ( 3 ) are provided to connect the first parallel hoop ( 11 ), the second parallel hoop ( 12 ), the first meridian hoop ( 21 ), and the second meridian hoop ( 22 ) together for adjusting the size of the helmet ( 10 ) to provide a comfortable fit to user's head.
1. A head massager, comprising:
a first arc member comprising two first channels at both ends respectively and a series of first teeth formed on a lower edge of each of the first channels;
a second arc member comprising two second channels at both ends respectively and a series of second teeth formed on an upper edge of each of the second channels;
a first curved member comprising a series of third teeth formed on one end;
a second curved member comprising a series of fourth teeth formed on one end;
first, second, and third seats each comprising a stub extending outwardly wherein (a) the first seat is formed at the other end of the first curved member, the first channel at one end of the first arc member is disposed in the first seat, the second channel at one end of the second arc member is disposed in the first seat, the second channel at one end of the second arc member is partially placed over the first channel at one end of the second arc member, and the stub of the first seat passes both the first channel at one end of the first arc member and the second channel at one end of the second arc member; (b) the second seat is formed at the other end of the second curved member, the first channel at the other end of the first arc member is disposed in the second seat, the second channel at the other end of the second arc member is disposed in the second seat, the second channel at the other end of the second arc member is partially placed over the first channel at the other end of the second arc member, and the stub of the second seat passes both the first channel at the other end of the first arc member and the second channel at the other end of the second arc member; and (c) the stub of the third seat is disposed between the third teeth and the fourth teeth; and
first, second, and third distance adjustment devices each comprising an elastic member put on the stub of one of the first, second, and third seats, a drive gear put on the elastic member such that the elastic member is positioned between the stub of the seat and the drive gear, a sliding knob urged by the elastic member and including outer annular teeth and inner annular teeth meshing with the drive gear, and a cover including an opening and inner annular teeth formed on the opening, the cover being releasably secured to one of the first, second, and third seats to have the inner annular teeth meshing with the outer annular teeth of the sliding knob in a locked position;
wherein the drive gear of the first distance adjustment device is meshed with both the first teeth at one end of the first arc member and the second teeth at one end of the second arc member;
wherein the drive gear of the second distance adjustment device is meshed with both the first teeth at the other end of the first arc member and the second teeth at the other end of the second arc member;
wherein the drive gear of the third distance adjustment device is meshed with both the third teeth and the fourth teeth; and
wherein the sliding knob of each of the first, second, and third distance adjustment devices is manually movable to cause the outer annular teeth thereof to disengage from the inner annular teeth of the corresponding cover of each of the first, second, and third distance adjustment devices so that a subsequent pivotal movement of the sliding knob of each of the first, second, and third distance adjustment devices rotates the meshed drive gear.
