  • Publication number: 20160022531
    Abstract: A massage device for use on horizontal, vertical, narrow or non-flush stabilizing surfaces is disclosed. The massage device can include a frame having a cavity of a substantially half spherical shape to accommodate a roller ball. A plurality of ball bearings located between the cavity and the roller ball allow the roller ball to rotate as affected by motion from external forces of self-massaging, a massage from another person, or otherwise. A stabilizing mechanism attached to the frame provides stabilization during self-massage. The massage device attaches to horizontal or a vertical flush surface with suction cups, and to a non-flush surface or one that is narrower than the massage device with a strap.

  • Publication number: 20150328080
    Abstract: A personal massager comprising a spherical body is secured in a disc shaped housing. The disc shaped housing has a circular cross section, a tapered perimeter, and a crater-like middle portion adapted to receive the spherical body. When the spherical body is secured in the middle portion of the disc shaped housing, a portion of the spherical body is exposed and can freely rotate in any direction. The spherical body is adapted to massage a user's body when a user presses the device against his or her body. The spherical body is further adapted to follow the contours of the body so as to provide versatility to the user when massaging various parts of the body. The device may be mounted on a wall with attachment means such as suction cups to allow a user to use the device in an upright position.
