  • Publication number: 20120179074
    Abstract: A massage machine includes a seat and a backrest, and a massage mechanism including a massaging element is provided within the backrest. The massaging element is connected to an arm of the massage mechanism and includes a heat transfer unit in which a heat source is contained and which is able to transfer to the user the heat transferred from the heat source. A rubbing roller is supported by the heat transfer unit on the arm.

  • Publication number: 20120172768
    Abstract: A massage machine includes a seat and a backrest, and a massage mechanism including a massaging element is provided within the backrest. The massaging element is provided on an arm of the massage mechanism and includes a first heat transfer unit in which a heat source is contained, a second heat transfer unit which is connected to the first heat transfer unit, and a rubbing roller which is supported by at least one of the first heat transfer unit and the second heat transfer unit. The configuration enables the first heat transfer unit to transfer to the user the heat transferred from the heat source and also enables the second heat transfer unit to transfer to the user the heat transferred from the first heat transfer unit.

  • Patent number: 7892192
    Abstract: A massaging device having an applicator driven by a plurality of driving unit to move along two or more different axes to generate a combined massaging action to be applied to the user's body. A controller holds individual speed data each defining a speed at which each of the driving units reciprocates the applicator along each of the different axes, and to control the driving units to reciprocate the applicator in accordance with the associated speed data. The controller controls the speed of the applicator along one of the axes independently from the speed of the applicator moving along another of the axes. Accordingly, the applicator's movements along the different axes can be free from being interfered with each other even being subject to a load, thereby assuring to continue the combined massaging action.

  • Publication number: 20100137755
    Abstract: The massaging device in this invention comprises a massaging mechanism, arms 3, and carriers 300. The carrier 300 has a shaft 30 which is fixed to the arm 3. The shaft 30 holds the massaging head 2 which is rotatable relative to the shaft 30. The carrier 300 carries the heat source 4 therein, and has a disc extending toward the radial direction of the shaft 30. The carrier 300 or the massaging head 20 includes a heat transfer means extending radially of the shaft from the carrier to an outer circumferential surface of the massaging head 20. This configuration makes it possible to transfer the heat to the outer circumferential surface of the carrier 300 or the massaging head.

  • Patent number: 7350300
    Abstract: In a shaver having provided on an upper end portion of a main body thereof a head portion comprising a razor having an outer blade and an inner blade, a front cross section of the shaver has a shape narrowed at a substantially center portion in its up and down direction, and a side cross section of the shaver has a substantially S-shape, in order to increase the contact area between the main body and the palm, to improve fit feeling, to make it hard to slip, and to finely adjust the angle of the razor against the skin without moving the wrist.
