Abstract
A foot sole massager includes a machine base supported on the ground by stands. A center opening is provided in the base, and two handrails extend upward at two opposite sides. Two lines of different massaging rods are arranged within the center opening. A first massaging rod includes plurality of raised portions, and a second massaging rod includes a plurality of tubular portions arranged in parallel. Each tubular portion includes a through hole, so that the second massaging rod is elastically deformable. A slide plate is disposed in contact with the massaging rods, and a motor is controlled to reciprocate the slide plate through an eccentric wheel and a link, causing the slide plate to turn the massaging rods to massage the user's soles. An adjusting mechanism is provided to change the turning angle of the massaging elements.
Claims20
A foot sole massager, comprising:
- a machine base including a central opening defined therein;
- a massaging unit mounted in the central opening of the machine base, wherein the massaging unit includes a plurality of massaging rods mounted in the central opening;
- a driving mechanism mounted on the machine base for rotating the massaging rods, wherein the driving mechanism includes a motor, a link having a first end connected with the motor, a roller located at a second end of the link, and a transmission plate to receive the roller;
- and
- an adjusting mechanism operatively connected with the driving mechanism for controlling a turning angle of the massaging rods, wherein the adjusting mechanism includes a movable locating plate and a clutch member, wherein the movable locating plate is moved by the roller of the driving mechanism, and the clutch member is used to connect and disconnect the movable locating plate from the transmission plate of the driving mechanism to thereby allow the location of the movable locating plate to be adjusted.
A foot sole massager, comprising:
- a machine base including a central opening define therein and two side frames arranged opposite one another;
- a guard frame mounted across the central opening;
- a massaging unit mounted in the central opening of the machine base, wherein the massaging unit includes a plurality of first massaging rods, wherein each first massaging rod is mounted on an axis which extends between the guard frame and one of the side frames, and a plurality of second massaging rods, wherein each second massaging rod is mounted on an axis which extends between the guard frame and one of the side frames, such that two rows of massaging rods are provided, one row on each side of the guard frame, wherein the first massaging rods include a plurality of raised portions spaced over a periphery of the first massaging rods, and wherein the second massaging rods each includes a plurality of tubular portions extending in the direction of the axis of the second massaging rods, wherein a longitudinal through hole is defined in each tubular portion so as to allow the second massaging rods to be elastically deformable;
- a driving mechanism mounted on the machine base for rotating the first massaging rods and the second massaging rods, wherein the driving mechanism includes a motor, a link having a first end connected with the motor, a roller located at a second end of the link, and a transmission plate to receive the roller;
- and
- an adjusting mechanism operatively connected with the driving mechanism for controlling a turning angle of the first massaging rods and the second massaging rods, wherein the adjusting mechanism includes a movable locating plate and a clutch member, wherein the movable locating plate is moved by the roller of the driving mechanism, and the clutch member is used to connect and disconnect the movable locating plate from the transmission plate of the driving mechanism to thereby allow the location of the movable locating plate to be adjusted.
