DE CORTICATION.
A New or Improved Electrical Massage Rubbing or Brushing
Apparatus.
We, BELA KELLERMANN, of Lacháza, Farmer, and BERNHARD KELLERMANN,
Electrical Engineer, of Kecskemét, both in the Kingdom of Hungary, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows;-
The present invention relates to a
means of which one can also electrify the respective parts of the body whilst
rolling massage or brushing apparatus by
rubbing them.
The apparatus comprises an oblong box serving also as a handle. Across the
bottom of this box the metal rubbing or brushing rollers are seated in metal side
bearings and inside this box any known voltaic inductor is arranged with a suit-
able interrupter and a dry element. The primary line is interrupted on the cover
of the casing by a touch button by means of which the circuit can be closed as
desired. The poles of the secondary line are connected each to one of the rub-
bing or brushing rollers so that in rubbing or brushing the respective part of the
body an electric connection between the cylinders, rollers or brushes is effected
through the body. On closing the touch button of the primary line the elec-
trification is more or less strong according to the position of the regulator of the
induction coil which may be more or less pulled out.
Instead of the coil inductor with voltaic element a magneto inductor may be
arranged in the box being put in action by a suitable toothed wheel gearing from
one of the rollers or brushes. Here also the circuit of the current may be closed
f required by a touch button.

A New or Improved Electrical Massage Rubbing or Brushing
Apparatus.
We, BELA KELLERMANN, of Lacháza, Farmer, and BERNHARD KELLERMANN,
Electrical Engineer, of Kecskemét, both in the Kingdom of Hungary, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The present invention relates to a rolling massage or brushing annaratus hu

handle. Across
The apparatus comprises an oblong box a, serving also as a
the bottom of this box the metal rubbing or brushing rollers c are arranged in
metal side bearings 6 and inside this box any known voltaic inductor d (Fig. 1)
is arranged with a suitable interrupter e and a dry element f. The primary
line g is interrupted on the cover of the casing by a touch button h by means of
which the circuit can be closed as desired. The poles of the secondary line i are
connected each to one of the rubbing or brushing rollers e so that in rubbing or
brushing the respective part of the body an electrical connection between the
cylinders, rollers or brushes c is effected through the body. On closing the touch
button of the primary line the electrification is more or less strong according
to the position of the regulator j of the induction coil which may he more or
less pulled out.
Instead of the coil inductor with voltaic element a magneto inductor (shown
in dotted lines) may be arranged in the box a, being put in action by a suitable
toothed wheel gearing k l m n from one of the rollers or brushes c. Here also
the circuit of the current may be closed if required by a touch button h.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is: -
1. An improved electrical massage rubbing or brushing apparatus across the
bottom of the box-like handle a of which metal rubbing or brushing rollers c
insulated from each other, are arranged said rubbing or brushing rollers being
connected each to one of the poles of the secondary line of the coil inductor d
(Fig. 1) with or without voltaic element, inside the handle, or connected each
to one of the poles of the induction circuit of the magneto inductor likewise
arranged in the handle a and put in action by suitable toothed wheel gearing kl
mn from one of the rollers or brushes c, in the first case the circuit of the
primary current, in the second case the circuit of the induction current being
interrupted by means of a touch-button h or closed when desired in order to
electrify the part which is being rubbed or brushed.
