Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2463732A1] The mechanism (1) has magnetic elements (13, 4) e.g. fixed and movable permanent magnets such as fixed and movable micro magnets, arranged in a part of a patch (11) and on an activating component (2) e.g. magnetic wheel, respectively. The component is turned on in a ringing mode such that one of the elements is repeatedly close to and opposite the other element arranged to generate magnetic field of polarity opposite to magnetic field generated by the former element opposite the latter element, to allow the patch to vibrate by repetitive variation of magnetic repulsion force of the elements.
