ABSTRACT:
A body massaging apparatus is described herein which includes a plurality of separate stroking devices and a remote power-pack device for energizing and controlling the stroking devices. All of the stroking devices comprise variable speed electric motors for moving stroking tools at gradually adjustable speeds.
A rotating-type stroking-device comprises a universal attaching member which is capable of being attached directly to various types of limp, flexible, stroking materials for rotating them. In one embodiment the universal attaching member is a clamp.
A clasping-type stroking device comprises a housing with an elongated jaw member pivotally attached to the housing. The variable speed motor is used to pivot the elongated jaw member toward and away from a jaw portion of the housing. Both the jaw member and the jaw portion are constructed with soft outer coverings thereon.
A gripping-type stroking device comprises a housing with two gripping members, each having at least two gripping arms, extending outwardly from the housing. The variable speed motor drives the gripping members to pivot back-and-forth, about pivot points on the housing, thereby causing the gripping members to have backward and forward stroking motions. In one embodiment the two gripping members are moving in phase and in another embodiment their motion is 180.degree. out of phase.
A rotational/swinging stroking device comprises a cylindrical helical-spring stroking tool which can be both rotated along a longitudinal axis or pivoted in a swinging motion.
Also disclosed is a stand which can be used to mount the stroking tools of this invention at desired locations on a human body. The stroking tool stand comprises pliable legs and suction cups.
