Abstract
A head tremor reduction device includes a frame mountable on the head of a person. The frame has two frame arms, each mountable on top of the ear of the person. A mechanical flap pivotably mounted on each of the frame arms to apply a pressuring force on a head area about the rear side of the ear. A section of the frame arm has an arm channel to accommodate a control plate for movement. The control plate has a tapered end portion operatively connected to the mechanical flap to adjust the flap angle in order to change the pressuring force. A control rod slidably engaged in a slot in the frame channel is used for moving the control plate along the arm channel to adjust the flap angle. The frame arm may have a rack movably engaged with a pinion for moving the control plate along the arm channel.
