Abstract:
A massager comprising:a housing; a pair of massage modes pivotally movable with respect to the housing in a lateral plane parallel to the skin surface, the massager nodes each having a surface for engaging a user; a motor securely mounted in the housing and having a motor shaft extending from opposite ends of the motor; a pair of linkages each eccentrically and rotatably attached to an opposite end of the motor shaft; a pair of flexible arms each securely attached to one of the linkages; and a bridge pivotally attached to motor and housing about a normal axis perpendicular to the lateral plane, the bridge being securely connected to the pair of flexible arms and having the massage nodes securely and oppositely mounted on the bridge, such that the movement of the motor drives the linkages to reciprocate and move linearly, which consequently causes the massage nodes on the bridge to pivotally reciprocate thereby laterally providing a rubbing massage effect upon the user.
