Abstract

A conventional massage belt provides monotonous sense in use and simple massage effect caused from the rotational motion that draws a simple trajectory in only a forward or reverse direction when a particular body portion is massaged with vibration of the same rotational speed generated from a vibrating portion in which eccentric weights are installed at both sides of a motor and which is installed in a belt body tightly wrapped around the body portion to be massaged such as abdomen. The present invention provides a massage belt wherein when a relevant body portion is massaged with elliptic vibrations generated from vibration generators, in each of which a motor and an eccentric weight at a side of the motor are installed and which are installed in a belt body at a predetermined interval, continuous rotational motions variously changed due to the combination of vibrations generated from the vibration generators operating simultaneously at different rotational speeds and/or intensity of the elliptic vibrations are applied to the relevant body portion, thereby maximizing a variety of massage effects and interest occurring in use.

Dependent claims

A massage belt, comprising:

a belt body tightly wrapped around a body portion to be massaged such as abdomen;
and
vibration generators installed at both sides in the belt body at a predetermined interval for generating elliptic vibrations and applying the generated vibrations to the relevant body portion, each comprising a housing, a rotational driving means installed at one side in the housing, an eccentric rotational force generating means installed at the other side in the housing for receiving a rotational driving force from the rotational driving means and generating an eccentric rotational force, and a rotational driving force transmitting means for connecting the rotational driving means and the eccentric rotational force generating means to thereby transmit the rotational driving force of the rotational driving means to the eccentric rotational force generating means,
wherein the vibration generators operate at different rotational speeds and/or intensity of elliptic vibrations to generate vibrations, and continuous rotational motions variously changed due to the combination of the vibrations generated from the vibration generators are applied to the relevant body portion, thereby maximizing a variety of massage effects and interest occurring in use.
