First Claim
1. A massage roller means (10) comprising a wheel-like roller member (10) having a somewhat broad peripheral rim (12), said rim (12) having alternate spaced-apart transverse projecting ridges (16) curved in peripheral cross-section, and intermediate rectangular base pyramid shaped ridges (18) extending outwardly therebetween, in combination with a handle frame (36) having a journal means (30, 32) on which said massage roller means (10) is journaled, said pyramid ridges (18) having their peaks (20) extending beyond a plane tangent to the two adjacent curved ridges (16).

Abstract
This device is a massage roller having a broad rim with tapering sides in which are located alternate series of curved ridges and of rectangular based pyramids and pyramid peaks. A plane resting on two adjacent pyramid peaks would be somewhat spaced from the intermediate curved ridge. A roller handle frame is shaped somewhat like a capital letter D lying on its flat side. The curved upper side has four finger fitting recesses on its under side, providing a hand fitting handle. The bottom flat side provides an elongate chassis having an axle at each end extending on opposite sides, there thus being four rollers supported by the frame. Lightening grooves are provided along opposite sides of each elongate portion including the chassis, the curved handle and the connecting stanchions at each end between the handle and the chassis. The entire frame and rollers may be of rigid molded plastic for light weight, but also may be entirely of a suitable metal or other material. The handle is of a convenient size to be grasped by one hand to roll the massage rollers over fleshy and fat or "cellulite" areas of a human body to knead and manipulate the flesh and fat and thus break down the gel-like lumps of cellulite and dissipate them through normal body circulatory functions. In addition, it massages, tones and strengthens the body as it is rolled thereover, and is also used for this function alone.
