ABSTRACT:
A massaging device driven by a water wheel and having a plurality of fingers spread in concentric rings about an arched cover. The fingers are supported in and actuated by a rotating camming platform including a series of concentric camming surfaces with curved bases and irregularly shaped annular sidewalls. The fingers are reciprocated along their vertical axes to create a wave-like motion relative to the cover. Concurrently, the fingers are actuated to pivot about a central transverse axis defined by pin members located on opposite sides of the fingers. When driven by a water wheel, the device contains a water channel along its base, which channel extends to a water chamber containing the water wheel. The wheel is turned by water flow through the chamber thereby rotating the camming platform to which it is coupled by way of gears.
