| 1. A vibrating device, comprising:
an outer housing configured to be cylindrical in shape and to approximate the size and shape of a selected battery, the housing
having a cylindrical shape and extending between a first end and a second end;
a vibrating motor assembly including a motor positioned in a motor housing, an output shaft connected to the motor and extending
out of the motor housing, and an eccentrically positioned offset weight affixed to the output shaft, the vibrating motor assembly
being fully contained within the outer housing;
positive and negative electrical contacts positioned respectively on the first and second ends of the outer housing in approximation
of the size and position of the positive and negative electrical contacts on the selected battery; and
the positive and negative electrical contacts connected to the motor so as to provide power to the motor;
whereby when the vibrating motor device is positioned in a battery-operated device an electrical contact of the motor housing
receives power from the selected battery to impart a vibratory motion to the battery-operated device.
