EXTERNAL VIBRATOR HAVING A DISPLAY VISIBLE OUTSIDE THE VIBRATOR HOUSING
The invention relates to an external vibrator (1) wherein a plurality of the operating parameters thereof can be read at a distance from the housing (5) on a display device (4, 7 through 13, 16 through 18). The display device (4, 7 through 13, 16 through 18) has a number of light-emitting diodes (9) disposed at a distance from each other on the housing (5). A magnet (4; 13) coupled to a drive shaft (2) of the external vibrator (1) generates a rotating magnetic field inductively activating the light-emitting diodes (9) in sequence according to the rotational direction of the drive shaft (2). The power supply to the display device (4, 7 through 13, 16 through 18) is completely independent of the power supply to the vibrator motor, whereby the display device (4, 7 through 13, 16 through 18) can be added to any arbitrary external vibrator.
