Abstract: A massager has a base and a shaft mounted horizontally on the base. The shaft is rotated by a motor at a slow speed. The shaft has a plurality of spaced apart cams affixed to it. Elongate spring fingers are each affixed at one end to the base. Each finger has an intermediate portion that springably engages one of cams. A free end of the finger moves up and down as the cam rotates. The free end is provided with a projection that is suited to engage a body part. The projection is periodically pressed against the body as the cam rotates. The cams are mounted on the shaft so that they raise and lower the projections as different times. This action causes the projections to each press against the body at different times to emulate massaging fingers.

Abstract: The present invention 10 discloses a portable hand-shaped massage unit having a power source 30 contained within the unit wherein a number of appendages 20 resembling fingers extending outwardly therefrom and each finger-like appendage having a third member 26 secured to a second member by a spring 34, the second member being a motor 24 and having a shaft 36 extending outwardly and angularly connected to a first member 22 whereby when the motor 24 is switched on the motor 24 will rotate the first member 22 in an elliptical manner so that when the portable hand-shaped massage unit 10 is secured by hook and loop material 28, pins, buckles, or belts to the headrest area of a chair 16, floor 12, or bed and the unit 10 is switched on the finger-like appendages 20 will travel in a randomly elliptical manner providing a mechanical massage of the lower cranial area of the head 18 of the user 14.
