Patent ID: 7892192

Claim:
A massaging device, comprising: an applicator configured to come into contact with a user's body; a plurality of driving units coupled to said applicator to give different reciprocating movements to said applicator respectively along different axes, thereby generating a combined massaging motion to be applied to the user's body; a controller configured to hold individual speed data each defining a speed at which each of said driving unit reciprocates said applicator along each of said different axes, and to control said driving units to reciprocate said applicator respectively in accordance with the associated speed data, wherein said controller is configured to control the speed of said applicator moving along one of said axes independently from the speed of said applicator moving along another of said axes, wherein said speed data of the reciprocating movement along one of said axes is configured to give a reverse point which is shifted with respect to time in relation to the reciprocating movement along another of said axes, and wherein said speed data for the reciprocating movement of said applicator along two of said axes are configured to vary the speed respectively along sinusoidal curves, one of said sinusoidal curves having a phase shifted by 45° to 90° with respect to that of the other sinusoidal curve.
