  • Patent number: 7153282
    Abstract: An improved massaging device for obtaining a massaging effect similar to an actual finger massage. Multiple finger-like implements provide soft wide area skin contact, and generate a vibratory motion consisting of a pulling massage combined with a lateral side motion. The device comprises means of reciprocally moving rows of massaging implements in opposition while reciprocally moving each row in combined normal and parallel unison. In one embodiment, the lateral opposing motion is combined with the normal pulling motion by means of lifting curved implements through fixed but adjustable spaced narrow openings. The lifting motion is generated from an eccentric mechanism, which when rotatably driven, may also produce the lateral parallel motion. Lateral parallel motion amplitude may be adjusted relative to the pulling motion by choice of eccentric dimensions.
