Publication number: 20040254508Abstract: A massage bar made integral includes a plurality of lengthwise rows of massage projections spaced apart equidistantly on its outer surface. Each projection is 0.5 cm-2.0 cm high, and the distance between every two neighboring projections is longer than the height of the projections. When the massage bar is placed and rolled over on a section of a human body, the rows of the massage projections only may alternately contact strikingly and press the body as if the muscle of the body pressed jumps up and down to make spot massage.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2003Publication date: December 16, 2004Inventor: Chin-Tsun Lee

Publication number: 20030204153Abstract: Massaging device with double massaging functions, including a main body and at least one roller assembly including a roller pivotably disposed on a predetermined portion of the main body about a pivot shaft and a resilient member which is cylindrical and made of flexible material. The resilient member is fitted around the roller and has a top end and a body section. Multiple first and second protuberances are respectively formed on outer faces of the top end and body section of the resilient member. By means of rolling the roller assembly, the second protuberances in turn contact with and massage human skin to achieve a pressing type massaging effect. Alternatively, a user can hammer a part of human body with the first protuberances to achieve a hammering type massaging effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2002Publication date: October 30, 2003Inventor: Ching-Chen Chen
