Abstract
Conventional massage devices of the sexual self-stimulator type include reciprocating massage heads. Some devices of this type feature rotary massage heads. A novel device includes a housing containing a drive and carrying a soft, flexible, resilient, tongue-shaped head on one end thereof, the head containing an arcuate shaft with a straight inner end connected to the drive, whereby the path of travel of the shaft during rotation defines an ellipsoid with a cone on the outer free end thereof.
Claims5
A massage device comprising housing means for manual manipulation of the device, said housing means having an open front end and a closed rear end;
- drive means in said housing means;
- elongated shaft means including a straight inner end connected to said drive means and defining an axis of rotation parallel to the longitudinal axis of said housing means, an arcuate outer end extending longitudinally out of said open end of the housing means, and a tip on said outer end of said shaft means which is eccentric with respect to said straight inner end, whereby, when said drive means is actuated, the tip of said shaft means moves in a circle around the axis of rotation, and the arcuate outer end travels through an arc defining an ellipsoid with a cone on the outer end thereof;
- elongated, flexible, resilient, tongue-shaped massage head means, said massage head means including an open rear end mounted in and closing said open front end of the housing means, a closed front end, and sleeve means defining an enclosure of a portion of the inner area of said head means, said sleeve means extending from the closed end substantially the entire length of said head means for snugly receiving said tip means, whereby said head means moves smoothly with said shaft means and damage to said head means during rotation of said shaft means is prevented.
