Abstract: The present invention discloses a massage apparatus having a housing with a massage formation for contacting a body part of a user. A massage mechanism is oriented within the housing for imparting a massage effect to the massage formation. A light source is provided on the massage formation for conveying an illumination effect from the massage formation. A partially translucent massager is disclosed for providing a visual effect of the underlying massage operation. Further, a roller massage assembly is provided wherein a load imparted to a roller is distributed directly to a structure of the massager for preventing distribution of the load to the massage mechanism.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a bath apparatus having auxiliary features. The auxiliary features include a handle for providing ergonomic manual transportation of the bath apparatus.

Abstract: A massage apparatus is disclosed with a housing and a motor oriented in the housing. An eccentric drive is driven by the motor for oscillating an elongate massage member. In one embodiment a pair of elongate massage members are provided. In another embodiment, a massage formation is limited to a range of linear translation in a first direction and limited to a range of rotational translation relative to the housing.

Abstract: A massage apparatus is provided which includes a housing, a motor disposed within the housing, and at least one massage center provided on the housing. The massage center includes an outer massage member and an inner massage member, where the outer massage member at least partially circumferentially surrounds the inner massage member.

Abstract: A handheld massager is disclosed having a spring and dampener provided between a massage head portion and a handle portion of a massager. A massage mechanism is provided in the massage head portion for application of a massage effect to the user. Resulting shock and vibrations caused by the massage effect are absorbed and dampened by the spring and dampener for minimizing these effects upon the hand and wrist of the user. Additionally, variable vibrational contact surfaces and various visual therapy effects are disclosed in combination with the massage effect.

Abstract: A body massager is disclosed with a housing having a longitudinal axis and an external contact surface for receiving a portion of a body of a user. A longitudinal guide is mounted in the housing with a carriage cooperating with the guide for translation therealong. A motor is oriented in the housing, operably coupled to the housing and the carriage such that continuous rotation of the motor in one rotary direction translates the carriage along the guide in at least two directions. A massage formation is supported by the carriage for imparting a massage effect upon the portion of the user's body as the carriage is translated relative to the housing. In another embodiment, a massage bracket is driven about a first axis of rotation; and a massage node mounted to the bracket is driven to rotate relative to the bracket.
