  • Patent number: 6285144
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a drive unit of a foot massage machine which includes a housing in which a motor is installed for bringing an eccentric block into motion to drive a slider assembly at two shaft rods for a lateral shift leftwards and rightwards. The present invention is characterized in that the slider assembly is provided with a longitudinal bar at center thereof, and a crank is inserted on the outer rim of the longitudinal bar. The crank is T-shaped and includes a circular sleeve externally mounted on the longitudinal bar and a cylindrical slider serving as shaft and fixed at one side of the circular sleeve. The cylindrical slider is inserted into a mounting hole of the eccentric block, showing a sliding joint between a shaft and the mounting hole. When the eccentric block rotates with the power output shaft, the crank acts as a driven part and the circular sleeve moves upward and downward in the longitudinal bar.
