The vessel body has a through hole in the bottom center for an upper portion of the vibrator to extend through upward, and the massage cushion is placed on the bottom of the vessel body and closes up the through hole, covering the vibrator with a gap between itself and the vibrator. Then a user can put the feet in the immersing vessel and receive massage performed by the vibrator at the same time.

Abstract: The portable massaging apparatus has a pair of driving shafts, 11 and 12, each of which is placed opposite and slant each other so that the distance between center axes of the driving shafts increases along with the distance from the root position to the top position of each driving shaft. A pair of slant shafts, 5 and 6, are extended from the top position of the each driving shaft keeping each angle between the center axis of the slant shaft and the center axis of the driving shaft to an approximately same constant value. A pair of massaging balls, 3 and 4, are attached to the tops of the slant shafts so that each massaging ball rotates freely around the center axis of each slant shaft. A driving mechanism rotates the pair of driving shafts at the same speed in the opposite direction so that each of the slant shafts moves synchronously and mirror symmetrically each other.

Abstract: A treatment and stimulation device provided as a compact, portable unit having an applicator capable of horizontal and vertical movements for manipulation of the skin and underlying tissue under electronic circuit control. In a preferred embodiment, the applicator is provided with reversible rotation directed against the skin to provide horizontal movement having uneven angles of deflection, and vertical up/down movement is supplied by a solenoid. By virtue of the electronic control, these movements are continuously variable, and can be integrated and finely controlled, to produce any desired physical stimulation effect on the skin and tissue, for medical or cosmetic purposes. The different kinds of receptors in the skin and tissue can be selectively activated, since they are frequency dependent and direction-force dependent.

A finger operated plunger type dispenser integral to the housing dispenses lubricant, medication, or other fluid onto the simulated tongue.

Abstract: A device that simulates massage of various parts of the human body by a human hand as closely as possible. The device involves providing two concentric planes, one created by the rotation of a main shaft, at its projection point of intersection with the applicator head, and the second the plane created by the exposed surface of the applicator head. The offset of these planes is adjustable with seventeen degrees being found to be ideal. The applicator head pivots throughout a complete 360 degrees of slow rotation without any turning torque being generated due to the placement of a ball bearing at its point of connection. These applicator heads, which are exchangeable, based on desired size, shape or consistency, are constructed of a flexible material such as rubber, latex, plastic or fabric and form a flexible envelope. Small pellets, or some other suitable material, are loosely enclosed in the applicator head and provide a contour conforming quality to the head.
