Abstract: A massaging apparatus with a massaging mechanism comprises at least one pressing member for pressing against a specific location of a body portion, and an unit for moving the pressing member transversely across the specific location while the pressing member is pressed against the specific location. The massaging apparatus may further include a support body for pressing the body portion. At least one massaging opening is formed in the support body for alignment with the specific location of a body portion placed on the support body. The massaging mechanism is provided inside the support body so that an upper end of the pressing member is projecting outward through the massaging opening. When the body portion is placed on the support body, the specific location of the body portion is pressed and massaged by the pressing member while the pressing member is transversely moved.

Abstract: A wrist restraining glove(110) comprises a hand receiving portion(111) for receiving a hand(H), a wrist band(113) integrally joined to the hand receiving portion(111), and a tension member(115) integrally joined on the palmar surface of at least the hand receiving portion(111). When the glove is worn on the hand, the wrist band(113) is wrapped around a wrist. The tension member(115) exerts a tensile force when pulled longitudinally, thereby an outward pivotal movement of the hand about the wrist can be suppressed.

Abstract: A wrist restrainer includes a wrist band and a resilient, one piece restraining plate with one end tightly connected thereto and the other end extending along the back of a wearer's hand to prevent outward pivotal movement of the hand at the wrist while permitting lateral movement. The restraining plate can be bent inwardly to press against the back of the hand. A wrist restraining glove including a hand receiving portion, with or without fingers, and a wrist band, has a resilient restraining plate extending from the knuckle end through the wrist band. The restraining plate is either entirely integrally joined to the glove or integrally joined only to the wrist band and loosely received in a pocket on the back of the glove.
