Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
A vibrating device including an apparatus comprising (a) a vibrant leaf spring, (b) an iron core attached to said vibrant leaf spring, (c) a solenoid having a hollow tubular interior, and (d) a yoke supporting said vibrant leaf spring and solenoid in such manner that said solenoid comes under said vibrant leaf spring, and that said iron core reciprocally moves in the interior of the solenoid in resonance with the frequency of a power source for activating said solenoid, wherein the ratio of the combined mass of said leaf spring plus iron core to that of said yoke plus solenoid is in the range of 1:2 to 1:10, said apparatus has a top surface at which said vibrant leaf spring vibrates, and said apparatus is mounted in an opening in the surface of a sponge by a plastic plate connected to said top surface of said apparatus and extending across said opening and on the surface of said sponge in the vicinity of said opening.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
165 words
A vibrating device including an apparatus comprising (a) a vibrant leaf spring, (b) an iron core attached to said vibrant leaf spring, (c) a solenoid having a hollow tubular interior, and (d) a yoke supporting said vibrant leaf spring and solenoid in such manner that said solenoid comes under said vibrant leaf spring, and that said iron core reciprocally moves in the interior of the solenoid in resonance with the frequency of a power source for activating said solenoid, wherein the ratio of the combined mass of said leaf spring plus iron core to that of said yoke plus solenoid is in the range of 1:2 to 1:10, said apparatus has a top surface at which said vibrant leaf spring vibrates, and said apparatus is mounted in an opening in the surface of a sponge by a plastic plate connected to said top surface of said apparatus and extending across said opening and on the surface of said sponge in the vicinity of said opening.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
