Massage apparatus

A massage apparatus, comprising:

• a massage mat including a plurality of flexibly connected massage cells arranged in an array of adjoining horizontal and vertical rows, said massage cells each having supporter means for defining an interior massage cell cavity, a motor fixed in said cavity, and an eccentric weight drivable by said motor for vibrating said massage cells when the motor is operated;
• and
• control means for regulating the vibration of said massage cells, including:
• a rotor formed by alternately joining a plurality of round insulating boards having a certain thickness and a plurality of round metal boards having a slightly smaller diameter than said round insulating boards, said round metal boards having a plurality of protrusions of differing lengths around their circumferences, said protrusions spaced around the circumferences of the metal boards at varying intervals,
• a reduction motor having a shaft affixed to the center of the rotor,
• a plurality of first contact terminals mounted to the control means to slide flexibly around the circumference of each round metal board and a part of each round insulating board and electrically connected to the massage cells, and
• a second contact terminal mounted to the control means to slide flexibly on a side of the outermost round metal board of said rotor, said contact terminal electrically connected to a terminal of a power supply.
