  • Patent number: 5020518
    Abstract: A massage apparatus includes a travelling carriage having a housing enclosing a drive motor and a kneading motor. A pair of guide bars extend through the housing providing stability therefor as the carriage is traversed along an intermediate drive bar which also extends through the housing. The drive motor is coupled to the drive bar through a pinion gear. Massaging elements are mounted on a crank arm which is rocked back and forth by the kneading motor. An eccentric arm couples the kneading motor to the crank arm and provides the kneading action. A control system also mounted to the carriage reverses direction of the drive motor as ends of the drive bar are approached. A massage motor is attached to the carriage housing to apply a multidirectional vibrational waves to a user through the massage elements.
