BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a breast massager, and more particularly to a waterproof hand-held electric breast massager.
2. Description of the Related Art
Traditional beauty standards frequently consider that the breast area of a woman should have certain proportions. As a result, breast size is often an important issue for many women. Some women may use drugs or the like in an attempt to enhance breast size. Others may employ an enhancing device for the same purpose. A benefit of the later is that such devices are less harmful to the health of the individual.
Many breast enhancing devices employ suction; others may employ a massaging device. The suction-based devices require a vacuum system to provide the pulling force around the breast area that stimulates the breast tissue. However, such devices are frequently bulky, heavy and relatively complicated in structure. With respect to the massaging devices, such devices require an electric motor with a biased shaft or an eccentric weight to generate vibration or a shaking effect that is imparted onto the breast region to stimulate the breast tissue. However, such devices typically require a power cord or batteries, neither of which is ideal for use in wet conditions due to the risk of electrical shorts.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide a waterproof hand-held electric breast massager to mitigate and/or obviate the aforementioned problems.

Furthermore, the tubal body 12 is provided with a control panel 16 disposed at the outer wall of the controller 122, which controls the connection between the conductive sheet 132 of the bottom body 13 and the first conductive part 23 of the driving motor 20. Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. The control panel 16 of the tubal body 12 provides a CLOSE/OPEN position 161, an OFF position 162 and an ON position 163. The positioning slot 14 of the bottom body 13 is an L-shaped slot and has two protruding strips 141 to be divided into a CLOSE/OPEN corresponding slot 142, an OFF corresponding slot 143 and an ON corresponding slot 144. When the conductive sheet 132 of the bottom body 13 is aligned the CLOSE/OPEN positions 161, the protrusion 124 of the tubal body 12 can be inserted into the CLOSE/OPEN corresponding slots 142 of the positioning slot 14. When the protrusion 124 is placed in the OFF corresponding slot 143, the conductive sheet 132 is aligned with the OFF position 162 of the control panel 16. When the protrusion 124 is placed in the ON corresponding slot 144, the conductive sheet 132 is aligned with the ON position 163 of the control panel 16, which makes the contact between the conductive sheet 142 and the first conductive part 23. The massaging member 40 has a bowl-like shape and a lip 41 with an elastic curved surface 411 at a circumference edge, and a connecting portion 41 is provided at an end of the massaging member 40 and disposed in the indentation portion 112 of the sealing cover 11. The indentation portion 112 of the sealing cover 11 is provided with a securing slot 113, the massaging member 40 is provided with a through aperture 421 at the connecting portion 42, and a securing pin 43 is placed through the through aperture 421 and the securing slot 113 to securely combine the massaging member 40 and the sealing cover 11. Accordingly, the casing 10 is disposed perpendicular with the lip 41 of the massaging member 40.
For actual assembly, please refer to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 again. The casing 10 is completed by assembling the sealing cover 11, the tubal body 12 and the bottom body 13 together. The driving motor 20 is mounted in the containment space 121 of the tubal body 12, and the first conductive part 23 and the second conductive part 24 of the driving motor 20 are accepted in the controller 122 of the tubal body 12. The driving motor 20 further has the eccentric block 22 at one end of the rotating shaft 21, and the sealing cover 11 covers the eccentric block 22 of the driving motor 20. The driving motor 20 is securely sandwiched by the sealing rim 111 of the sealing cover 11 and the stepped region 123 of the tubal body 12. The sealing cover 11 utilizes the sealing rim 111 to be secured onto the tubal body 12 by adhesive or high-frequency induction hardening process, such that a water-proof effect is provided between the sealing cover 11 and the tubal body 12.

Therefore, the rotating shaft 21 of the driving motor 20 rotates to drive the eccentric block 22 to generate vibration. Meanwhile, the protrusion 124 is correspondingly moved to the ON corresponding slot 144 of the positioning slot 14, and the engagement between the protrusion 124 and the positioning slot 14 provides positioning effect to the driving motor 20. The engagement between the protrusion 124 of the tubal body 12 and the positioning slot 14 of the bottom body 13 provides connection and positioning, and the control panel 16 provides status indication.
As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 10, the casing 10 has a long rod shape, and the casing 10 is disposed perpendicular with the lip 41 of the massaging member 40. The casing 10 is designed in a regular hand-held size and capable of accepting the driving motor 20 and the power supply element 30, and the massaging member 40 is mounted in the sealing cover 11 of the casing 10 for providing vibration. Please refer to FIG. 11. When the user holds the casing 10 and makes the lip 41 of the massaging member 40 to make contact with the breast region, the elastic curved surface 411 of the lip 41 should be able to make large surface contact with the skin of the breast region, to avoid discomfort during massage vibration. When the driving motor 20 is active, the eccentric rotation of the eccentric block 22 generates vibration effect to the massaging member 40, which is delivered to the breast region of the user via the elastic curved surface 411 of the massaging member 40. Another characteristic of the embodiment of the present invention is water-proof effect. The water-proof effect is provided between the sealing cover 11 and the tubal body 12 by adhesive or high-frequency induction hardening process. Furthermore, the circular slot 133 of the bottom body 13 is provided with the sealing washer 15, and the tubal body 12 and the bottom body 13 sandwich the sealing washer 15 in between for a water sealing effect. Therefore, the casing 10 is capable of completely seal-in the driving motor 20 and the power supply element 30, which is very convenient for the user to use the massager in the shower or the bathtub without short circuit problems.
Although the present invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
