Abstract
A massage tool includes a rod having a proximal end and a distal end, and a body follower having a proximal side and a distal side. The proximal end is configured for attachment to a reciprocating shaft of a reciprocating motor. The reciprocating shaft has a stroke axis and a stroke length, and the distal end of the rod is configured to rotatably attach to the proximal side of the body follower by means of a rotating joint defining a center of rotation. The distal side of the body follower may include a body contact area having a maximum length at least three times greater than a minimum distance from the center of rotation of the rotating joint to the body contact area.
Claims22
A hand-held massaging system, comprising:
- a reciprocating motor having a reciprocating shaft having a stroke axis and a stroke length;
- a body follower having a proximal side and a distal side;
- and
- a rod having a proximal end and a distal end and removably coupled to the reciprocating shaft to maintain the rod in axial alignment therewith, the distal end of the rod configured to (i) rotatably attach to the proximal side of the body follower by means of a rotating joint that defines a center of rotation and (ii) move the center of rotation in a direction parallel to the stroke axis;
- the distal side of the body follower having a body contact area and having a maximum length at least three times greater than a minimum distance from the center of rotation of the rotating joint to the distal side of the body follower.
