Heated massager with massaging liquid dispenser

A hand-held massager, comprising:

• a housing having a gripping portion and a body-contacting portion, said housing being configured for emitting a massaging liquid and said body-contacting portion being configured for emitting heat to a target skin surface;
• a pump disposed within said housing for dispensing the massaging liquid;
• a removable reservoir being in fluid communication with said pump;
• and
• said reservoir being pivotably mounted to said massager between an operational position in which said reservoir is inclined relative to said body-contacting portion, and a refill position in which said body-contacting portion is placed in a generally vertical position and said reservoir is in a generally parallel position relative to said body-contacting portion.

A combined actuator and pump assembly configured for dispensing a fluid from a hand-held appliance having a housing containing a reservoir, said assembly comprising:

• an actuator wheel having an exterior actuation surface, at least one web joined to said actuation surface, said exterior actuation surface and said web defining a pump chamber;
• a pump housing configured for disposition within said pump chamber;
• a roller assembly being rotatable relative to said pump housing and being rotatable with said actuator wheel;
• said pump housing defining a raceway for accommodating a length of flexible tubing and rotatably receiving said roller assembly in peristaltic relationship to said tubing;
• wherein rotation of said actuator wheel causes rotation of said roller assembly relative to said length of flexible tubing to pump liquid through said tubing.
