  • Patent number: 10449112
    Abstract: A vibratory massage roller is provided for therapeutic massage, intimate massage, physical therapy, yoga, physical conditioning, and general well-being. The massage roller and method for balancing the massage roller, increasing the overall utility and therapeutic value so as to more efficiently massage a subject through resort to a vibrational roller having a tubular casing containing a motor housed in the center of the tubular casing, a central axle projecting from the motor, a plurality of eccentric propellers, positioned at different points along the central axle, the tubular casing vibrationally linked to the axle by the plurality of eccentric propellers via a plurality of housing supports and an optional surface casing extending over a length of the vibratory roller.

  • Patent number: 10285901
    Abstract: A process of massaging a subject is provided that includes the provision of a vibratory massage roller having a casing with a casing surface extending over a length of the vibratory roller. A motor in included in the housing and is electrically coupled to a power source. The power source is energized to induce a vibratory amplitude to the surface that varies less than 30 amplitude percent across the central 70 percent of the length. The massage roller is contacted with the subject to massage the subject.

  • Publication number: 20160113841
    Abstract: A process of massaging a subject is provided that includes the provision of a vibratory massage roller with a user controlled magnitude of vibratory amplitude having a casing with a casing surface extending over a length of the vibratory roller. A series of weights inside the casing may be positioned by the user to vary and control the amplitude of the vibration produced by the roller. A motor is included in the housing and is electrically coupled to a power source. The power source is energized to induce a vibratory amplitude to the surface that varies less than thirty amplitude percent across the central seventy percent of the length. The massage roller is contacted with the subject to massage the subject.

  • Patent number: 8500663
    Abstract: The present invention is a vibrational roller utilizing a motorized vibrational drive using a plurality of eccentric weights and associated supports. The weights are positioned along the axis of rotation in a manner to synchronize them and minimize vibrational dissipation throughout the roller. Each weight has at least one associated support. The supports then transmit vibrational forces to the surface of the roller in an evenly distributed manner. A second co-operational motor may be used to extend motor life and aid in initiating vibrations. A control panel and associated circuitry are utilized to alter vibrational characteristics. The roller may be battery powered or powered through a standard wall outlet. The roller itself is manufactured of a durable yet deformable material, such as foam rubber, and may be inserted into selectable sleeves of varying physical properties for desired effect.
