Abstract:

A therapeutic bed mattress. In one embodiment, the bed mattress includes a mattress frame ( A), rope elements ( ) are secured substantially to an upper surface of the bed frame. The rope elements are secured between at least two sides of the bed frame. At least one vibration member ( ) is attached to and below the rope elements. The vibration member includes a shaft ( ), a pulley ( ) attached axially to one end of the shaft, and a counterweight ( ) attached to the shaft. At least one motor ( ) including an output shaft ( ) and a motor pulley ( ) axially attached to the output shaft vibrates the rope elements. At least one belt ( ) is secured between the pulley of the vibration member and the motor pulley of the motor, such that when the motor is powered, the output shaft of the motor rotates the motor pulley which rotates the belt such that the pulley of the vibration member is rotated to rotate the shaft of the vibration member and the counterweight, in order to vibrate the rope elements.
