Abstract

A massage device consisting of a plurality of rollers having projections, the rollers being mounted for rotation on a carrier, rotation occurring when the rollers are placed in contact with a portion of the body to be massaged and the carrier is moved in a direction normal to the axis of rotation of said rollers, the said projections preferably being of resilient material although firm enough to press into the fleshy and muscular portions of the body to produce massaging action when reciprocated over a portion of the body causing the rollers to rotate.

Claims

1. A massage device comprising a carrier, a plurality of rollers mounted thereon in spaced apart relation, projections of resilient material extending radially from said rollers, said rollers being rotatable when said projections are placed in contact with a portion of the body to be massaged and said carrier is moved reciprocally in directions normal to the axis of rotation of said rollers, wherein said carrier is a flexible belt, bearings mounted transversely across said belt at longitudinally spaced intervals, axles extending through said bearings, and one of said rollers mounted on each end of each of said axles thus providing longitudinally spaced rollers along each opposite edge of said belt.
