"Th'e'present invention relates to new 'an'duse'ful improvements "in "vibrating and massaging apparatus, and more particularly to devices of this 'ch'ar'acterior applyingh'eat to and for vibrating and messaging the scalp or head.
An object of the invention is to provide a device of the "above character which "may be placed directly on "the head and which'may'be heatedan'd vibratedelectrically.
Another objectof the invention is to provide an improved head and scalp vibrator which shall contain an adjustable heating element particularlyfor use afteroil shampoos.
A still further object of'the'invention is to providea device of the above character which shall comprise alternativermassaging elements for use 'in'operation upon headsof various sizes.
A still "further "object is "to provide a rigidhood "f'o'r the'head having a sectionalmassaging element positioned therein "and" forming a liner "for the hood, the sections 'ofthe liner being =positioned over thetop'and'at' either sideof the head anda'rran'ged for alternate massaging movement.
'An additional 'object is to provide a device of this character of simple and practical constructionjwhic'h is efficient andrelia'ble-in operation, relatively inexpensive to manufacture, and otherwise well adapted for the purposesforwhich 't'he same is intended.
Other objectseand advantageslreside in the dex30 Figure 1 is a side elevational view with parts "broken awayand shown-in section. Figure 2 is a front elevational -view also -'with parts broken away and shown in section.

Po the outerend of ea'ch'nf the shafts H] is secured ab'evel gear "f3 driving a similar-gear +4 1125 i'con'nectedeccentrically to 'a disc -by'meansof a shaft 1'6; which is journaled "in an opening 1! .of'thehood"Batoneside of .the latter.
'The eccentric disc l'5'is positioned to travel'in .an-oval-shaped race or track I8 from the opposite sidesof'which a'pair er slides l9projectjth'e-slides being mounted "for reciprocating movement in arcuate' slots? ll'iormed inth'ehoo'd9.
A sectional massaging 'e'lemen'tis designated generally at "2|, and'is'constructed 'ofrubber-or 25,.si1n'ilar vmaterial reinforced with wire mesh 22,

against the scalp of a person upon a reciprocating motion of the slides 19.
Secured to the hood 9 is an electric switch 28 and a rheostat 29 controlled by means of a Referring now to the drawings in detail, knob 30, all electrically connected in series with wherein for the purpose of illustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of the invention, the numeral I represents a standard, supported in a base 2 and having secured thereto a heating coil 3! positioned between the hood and the massaging element 2! The switch 28 serves to connect the motor 1 to a source of current (not shown) and also connects the heating coils by means of a thumb nut 3 a curvaceous arm 4 3! to the same source of current. The rheostat from which is dependent the heating, massaging and vibrating unit shown generally at 5, and which represents the novel portion of the device. Secured directly to the arm 4 is a housing 5 for 29 serves to control the amount of heat generated in the heating coils 3! by controlling the current flowing therein and may be suitably calibrated in terms of temperature, if desired. The heatcontaining a small electric variable speed drive ing coils 3| must, of course, be thoroughly in- 3 sulated from the hood 9, and this may be accomplished preferably with an asbestos lining 32.
In the operation of the device it will be apparent that the shafts H3 at the opposite sides of the hood are oppositely rotated, whereby to move the massaging elements 23 and 24 oppositely over the scalp of a person through the cocentric l5 and slides I9.
It is believed that the details of construction, manner of use and advantages of the device will be readily understood from the foregoing without further detailed explanation.
It is to be understood, however, that even though I have herein shown and described a preferred embodiment of my invention, the same is susceptible of certain changes fully comprehended by the spirit of the invention as herein described, and the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:
