Abstract

A massager has a rotation shaft with arcuate grooves defined in a periphery of the rotation shaft and a guide received in the arcuate grooves so that when the rotation shaft rotates, the guide is able to control the rotation shaft to rotate and extend.

Claims

1. An extendable and rotatable massager comprising a reduced gear assembly, sliding bars, a transmission rod, a rotation shaft, a sleeve, a positioning sleeve and an extension tube, wherein

the reduced gear assembly has gears respectively and rotatably mounted between a first disk and a second disk, the first disk has a through hole corresponding to an auxiliary gear on one of the gears, the second disk has a shaft hole corresponding to a shaft of a motor to allow the shaft to mate with one of the gears;

each of the sliding bars extend through the first disk and securely engage with the second disk;

the transmission rod is securely mounted to the first disk at one end so as to mate with one of the gears;

the rotation shaft has an annular gear mounted on one end, a disk rotatably and movably mounted on the rotation shaft and arcuate grooves defined in a periphery of the rotation shaft and maintained a predetermined angle to a longitudinal axis of the rotation shaft to form a closed loop on the periphery of the rotation shaft;

the sleeve has a guide securely yet rotatably received inside the sleeve to corresponding to the arcuate grooves of the rotation shaft;

the positioning sleeve has a skirt with screw holes, such that screws are able to threadingly extend through the screw holes of the positioning sleeve, screw holes of the sleeve and into engaging holes of the sliding bars to secure the positioning sleeve to one distal end of each of the sliding bars; and

the extension tube securely connects to the rotation shaft at one end of the extension tube.

2. The massager as claimed in claim 1, wherein the gears comprises a first gear, a second gear and a third gear.

3. The massager as claimed in claim 2, wherein the first disk has an assembly hole defined to allow a connection rod of one of the sliding bars to extend therethrough;

and wherein the second disk has assembly tubes, a shaft hole and screw holes so that screws are able to threadingly extend through the screw holes to fix the second disk to the motor.

4. The massager as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the sliding bars has a connection rod provided on one end to extend through the first disk and securely engage with the second disk.

5. The massager as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transmission rod has a positioning rod on opposite ends and one of the positioning rods extend through the first disk to mate with the auxiliary gear.

6. The massager as claimed in claim 1, wherein the disk of the rotation shaft has through holes corresponding to the sliding bars and the transmission rod to allow the sliding bars and the transmission rod to extend through the disk.

7. The massager as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rotation shaft has a connection rod on one end and provided with a connection hole and the extension tube has a screw hole defined to align with the connection hole.

8. The massager as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sleeve has a flange formed on one end and having screw holes and a positioning hole defined to allow a positioning rod of the transmission rod to extend through the positioning hole so as to position the transmission rod relative to the sleeve.

9. The massager as claimed in claim 1, wherein the guide is arcuate with two opposite sharpened ends, the guide has a shaft hole so that the guide is able to rotatably received in the sleeve by screws after the alignment between the shaft hole and a through hole in a periphery of the sleeve.

10. The massager as claimed in claim 1, wherein the positioning sleeve has a skirt provided with screw holes so that the positioning sleeve is able to engage with the sliding bars by screws extending through the screw hole of the positioning sleeve, the screw holes of the sleeve and engaging holes of the sliding bars.
