Abstract

A massaging device includes a housing including a recessed top and a channel in the recessed top; a motor having an eccentric shaft securely mounted in the channel; a vibration member mounted on the motor; a massaging pad mounted on the vibration member; and a plurality of rubber cylinders mounted around an edge of the recessed top and secured to a bottom of the vibration member. The housing further includes means for absorbing the force of shocks and jarring generated by the activating motor. A peripheral gap is formed between the motor and an inner surface of the channel. The motor further includes a bottom fan adapted to introduce cool air from an underside of the housing into the housing for dissipating heat generated by the activating motor through the gap.

Claims

1. A massaging device comprising:

a housing including a recessed top and a channel in the recessed top;

a vibration-type motor having an eccentric shaft mounted in the channel;

a vibration member mounted on the motor;

a massaging pad mounted on the vibration member; and

a plurality of rubber cylinders mounted around an edge of the recessed top and secured to a bottom of the vibration member;

wherein the motor is secured to the housing, and the housing further comprises means for absorbing the force of shocks and jarring generated by the activating motor.

2. The massaging device of claim 1, wherein the housing further comprises a peripheral sidewall and a base secured to the sidewall.

3. The massaging device of claim 2, wherein the base comprises a plurality of apertures for ventilation.

4. The massaging device of claim 1, further comprising a peripheral gap formed between the motor and an inner surface of the channel.

5. The massaging device of claim 2, wherein the channel is extended downward to secure to the base for surrounding the motor.

6. The massaging device of claim 5, wherein the base further comprises a closed groove for securely receiving a bottom edge of the channel.
