ABSTRACT:
A freely rotational ball actuated manual body massager designed to fit comfortably in the user's hand. The pressure of a specially designed density ball which spins three-dimensionally creates a motion resembling the action of the balls of the fingers of a massage therapist's hand. The body of the device can be made by plastic injection of an aesthetically appealing durable material. The ball is designed to rotate freely inside its housing and held there by a removable retainer resembling the action of a ball of a computer mouse or the dispenser head of a roll-on anti-perspirant. Several different retainers of Teflon.RTM. may be used to insure intimate contact between ball and retainer providing minimal friction and maximal free rotation with ease, efficiency and economy of manufacture.
