ABSTRACT:
A chest vibrating device for assisting in loosening of obstructions in the lungs or air way of a human user suffering from respiratory ailments such as cystic fibrosis, which has a rigid frame which is positioned around, and clamped onto the user's chest, the rigid frame transferring to the user vibrations generated by a motor rotating an off-set weight, where the vibrations assist in loosening obstructions in the lungs or air way of the user. Pads adjustable in orientation and position radiate inwardly from the rigid frame to contact the user's chest from opposite sides of the chest and hold the chest in place, the pads adjusting to comfortably contact and effectively transmit vibrations to users of varying gender and size.
