Abstract

Disclosed is a skin massage device, the proposed idea capable of a skin massage device of scrubbing a skin applied with a massage cream, then giving physical stimulus on the skin at a massage thus helping the relaxation of muscles and activating metabolism to serve an elastic, healthy skin, characterized in that an operation device 15 to reciprocally translate a beating member 21 back and forth is installed at a rotating shaft 14 of a drive motor 15 to which an electric energy of a battery 100 is selectively supplied/blocked according to change of on/off of a rotary switch 12, comprised of the beating member 21 inflicting physical stimulus while interworking with the operation device 15.

Claims

1. A skin massager comprising:

a first body comprising a switch unit, the first body enclosing a motor, and a battery unit, the motor having a rotary shaft attached to the motor and

a second body comprising a rotating member, a reciprocating member, and a tapping member, the first body being attached on the second body to form a generally cylindrical body,

the rotating member having a connection portion including a first aperture extended upwardly to directly receive the rotary shaft, the rotating member having a second connection portion including a second aperture extended downwardly to engage with the reciprocating member wherein a spiral groove is formed at an inner peripheral surface of the second portion,

the reciprocating member having a hole formed at a lower surface of the reciprocating member to engage with the tapping member for massaging, the reciprocating member having a guide protrusion formed at an outer side peripheral surface of the reciprocating member to engage with the spiral groove of the second portion of the rotating member, so that when the massager is on, during use, the rotating member continuously rotates within an inner peripheral surface of the second body while allowing the reciprocating member to continuously vertically reciprocate within an inner surface of the rotating member,

the second body having a vertical guide on the inner peripheral surface of the second body wherein the guide protrusion of the reciprocating member is guided to vertically reciprocate within the vertical guide while the guide protrusion of the reciprocating member is engaged with the spiral groove of the second portion of the rotating member, so that the reciprocating member is prevented from being rotated along the rotating member.
