Abstract
Abstract A vibrator device intended to be mounted to the frame of a bed to provide a soothing vibratory action to the bed for slowly and gently nudging an individual sleeping in the bed from slumber to an awake condition, the vibrator having an electrically operated motor connected to an eccentric shaft weighted to produce a shaking vibratory motion with the free end of the shaft being rotatably secured in a pillow block type bearing. A clock mechanism with a dial indicator is provided for mounting on the bed for control of the electric motor.
