Abstract
A massager device includes a structure having a contact face and a handling face. A pair of notched rollers is on the contact face of the structure. The notched rollers freely rotates around intersecting axes. The notched rollers are attached to the structure by elastic suspensions. A gripping shape is on the handling face of the structure, opposite to the contact face. The gripping shape forms a cap wrapping the surface of the structure.
Claims21
A massager device to perform a palpate-roll type massage, comprising:
- a structure comprising a contact face and a handling face, the contact face comprising a base of elliptic contour and a skirt, on its periphery, projecting on the periphery of the base, made of a flexible material configured to glide on a skin of a user and protecting the contact face from water;
- a pair of notched rollers on the contact face of the structure to provide the palpate-roll type massage, inside the contour of the base, the notched rollers freely rotates around intersecting axes, the notched rollers being attached to the structure by elastic suspensions so that the notched rollers are projecting under the base and the skirt when free from pressure and lift up in the base when a pressure is applied;
- a gripping shape on the handling face of the structure, opposite to the contact face, the gripping shape forming a cap of a semi-ellipsoidal shape, covering a whole contour of the base, with a length, measured along a major axis of an ellipse, ranging between 120 mm and 170 mm, a width, measured along a minor axis of the ellipse, ranging between 70 mm and 100 mm, and a height measured from the base to the a top of the cap, ranging between 30 mm and 50 mm;
- a dispensing orifice on the contact face, the dispensing orifice configured to dispense a cosmetic product of a cosmetic product tank, the dispensing orifice is aligned with a point of intersection of rotation axes of the notched rollers in front of the notched rollers in a direction of use of the massager device;
- the cosmetic product tank being placed inside the cap and in a fluid communication with the dispensing orifice;
- and
- wherein a stiffness of the elastic suspensions of the notched rollers and their relative positions to the contact face and the skirt are configured so that a massaging pressure is set when the skirt comes into contact with the skin.
