Abstract
A massager has a base, a motor assembly mounted on the base and having a worm shaft extending out of the motor, a transmission assembly including a transmission axle, a linking gear to mate with the worm gear, two secondary gears to drive two horizontal gears of a rubbing assembly and two pairs of kneading assemblies being respectively provided on opposite sides of the central seat to wabble when the transmission axle is rotated. Therefore, rotation of the rubbing assembly and wobbling movement of the kneading assembly are able to provide two different massaging effects to the user.

A massager comprising:
- a base having a central seat mounted on a central area of the base, two side seats respectively mounted on opposed sides of the central seat and a mediate seat integrally formed on the base and sandwiched between the central seat and the side seat;
- a motor assembly having a motor received in the central seat and having a worm shaft extending out of the motor, a linkage mounted across the central seat and provided with a worm gear fixedly mounted around the linkage to mate with the worm shaft and a driving gear fixedly mounted around the linkage;
- a transmission assembly including a transmission axle having two ends to be received in the two side seats, a linking gear fixedly mounted around the transmission axle to mate with the driving gear of the motor assembly, two secondary linking gears respectively mounted on the transmission axle and being divided by the central seat and two pairs of wobbling wheels respectively mounted on the transmission axle to be opposite to one another to sandwich therebetween one secondary linking gear and divided by the mediate seat;
- two pairs of rubbing assemblies respectively provided to the opposed sides of the central seat and each rubbing assembly including two horizontal gears respectively mated with the secondary linking gear in opposite directions relative to the secondary linking gear, two rubbing disks respectively mounted on top of a corresponding one of the two horizontal gears to be driven by the horizontal gears and having multiple bosses formed on a top face of each rubbing disk;
- two pairs of kneading assemblies respectively provided to the opposed sides of the central seat and each kneading assembly having two kneading plates each mounted on a corresponding one of the two wobbling wheels to wabble with the wobbling wheels.
