Orthopedic heating pad (OHP) orthopedic vibrating heating pad (OVHP)

摘要

I, Georgia Cotterell Grant, have created an invention consisting of an electrical heating device suitable to be used in the medical treatment of joint sprains, strains, arthritis, and muscular pains. ;My invention will provide electrical heat in conjunction with a vibratory sensation through a pad made of cloth, in which is inserted a heated element, and a vibratory device. The pad is plugged into an electrical outlet, and contributes directly to the healing of the relevant affected body parts. Through the use of a switch that is attached to the pad by an electrical cord the user regulates the temperature and vibratory force. ;This invention is superior to other heating devices which depend on indirect heat such as hot water and a microwave oven to be effective, and which do not have a vibratory/massaging effect.
