Abstract

A massager includes a massager body having a bottom on which massaging elements are mounted. A primary holding structure comprised of a saucer-like member is connected to a top of the massager body by a neck for being held by a single hand. Two handgrips extend in opposite directions from opposite sides of the massager body for being held by two hands of a user, respectively. Each handgrip forms a recess in bottom side thereof for accommodating fingers of the hand holding the handgrip. The massager further includes a support stand positionable on a fixture surface and forms, in a top thereof, a cavity for receiving and retaining the massager body therein in an up-side-down manner to expose the massaging elements on the top side of the stand whereby the massage serves a sole massaging device.

Claims

1. A massager comprising:

a massager body having a bottom on which at least one massaging element is mounted;

a primary holding structure mounted to a top of the massager body adapted to be held by a single hand; and

two handgrips extending in opposite directions from opposite sides of the massager body, each adapted to be held by one hand, a recess being defined in bottom of each handgrip for accommodating fingers of the hand holding the handgrip.

2. The massager as claimed in claim 1, wherein the recess is formed by a blind hole defined in bottom of the handgrip.

3. The massager as claimed in claim 1, wherein the primary holding structure comprises a saucer-like member connected to the top of the massager body by a neck whereby a space is formed between the saucer-like member and the top of the massager.

4. The massager as claimed in claim 3, wherein recesses are defined in and spaced along an outer circumference of the saucer-like member for accommodating fingers of the single hand holding the primary holding structure.

5. The massager as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a support stand positionable on a fixture surface, the support stand having a top defining a cavity sized and configured to substantially snugly receive and retain the massager body therein in an upside-down manner to expose the massaging element on topside of the support stand.

6. The massager as claimed in claim 5, wherein the massager body has a control for turning on/off the massaging element, the support stand forming a notch in an edge of the cavity for accommodating the control.
