Abstract
Abstract An electromotive massage apparatus for beating and kneading body comprises joint means interconnected loosely and pivotably elevating means and supporting means having vibrator means in association with electrically driven power means. Revolution of a first transmission shaft from a motor is diminished and transmitted to a second transmission shaft through gear means. Said supporting means which engaged with eccentric axes means at both ends of the second transmission shaft change the eccentric revolution to reciprocal movement which is transmitted to vibrators as complex oscillating movement through joint means and arm spindles.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
233 words
An electromotive massage apparatus for use to beating and kneading body comprising: guide columns, an electrically-driven power means for driving a shaft rotatably, an elevating means having an elevating plate drivably connected to said guide columns and including a pair of side plates and a yoke on which the electrically-driven power means is carried, power transmission means including first and second transmission shafts, a pulley adapted to be driven through a belt engaged with said shaft on the electrically-driven power means, and gear means engaging said first transmission shaft and said second transmission shaft, said second transmission shaft including a pair of eccentric axes means formed at both ends, a pair of arm spindles, each having a top portion and a lower end, a pair of vibrators connected on the top portions of said pair of arm spindles which project through the elevating plate, a pair of supporting means, each having a fore part and a rear part, connecting each lower end of said arm spindles at said fore part and each operatively associated with one of said eccentric axis of said second transmission shaft at its rear part, and a pair of joint means including a pair of rods and two pairs of balls respectively connected to each end of said rods and two pairs of small housings for accomodation of said balls for linking the supporting means with the elevating plate.
