Abstract

A lower leg massage device includes a rotatable shaft having two actuating pins, two actuating devices solidly secured on the shaft, and two rotatable actuating devices rotatably attached onto the shaft and each having two opposite seats for selectively engaging with the actuator pins of the shaft. Four massage members are attached onto and to be vibrated by the actuating devices. The actuator pins may selectively engage with the one of the seats to rotate the rotatable actuating devices in one direction, and may engage with the other seat to rotate the rotatable actuating devices in the other direction, and to allow the massage members to be arranged either opposite to or parallel to each other.

Claims (12)

1. A lower leg massage assembly comprising:

a base,

a shaft rotatably supported on said base,

two actuating pins attached onto said shaft and rotated in concert with said shaft,

two first actuating devices secured on said shaft and rotated in concert with said shaft,

two second actuating devices rotatably attached onto said shaft, each of said second actuating devices including a hub provided thereon and having a semi-circular structure to rotatably support said shaft, each of said second actuating devices including a first and a second seats oppositely provided thereon, for selectively engaging with said actuator pins of said shaft respectively, and for allowing said second actuating devices to be rotated and driven by said shaft, and said first and said second seats being oppositely provided and extended from said hub,

two first and two second massage members attached to said first and said second actuating devices respectively, and arranged to be vibrated by said first and said second actuating devices respectively, each of said first and said second massage members including an opening formed therein,

each of said first and said second actuating devices including a first and a second sandwich plates engaged onto and secured to said first and said second massage members respectively,

each of said first sandwich plates of said first and said second actuating devices including a bulge extended therefrom and engaged through said opening of said first and said second massage members respectively to stably retain said first and said second massage members between said first and said second sandwich plates of said first and said second actuating devices respectively,

each of said first and said second actuating devices including at least one inclined surface formed therein, to engage with said massage members respectively, and to retain said massage members on said shaft in suitable inclination,

said actuator pins of said shaft being provided to engage with said first seats of said second actuating devices respectively and to rotate said second actuating devices in a first direction when said shaft is rotated in the first direction, and said actuator pins of said shaft being provided to engage with said second seats of said second actuating devices respectively and to rotate said second actuating devices in a second direction when said shaft is rotated in the second direction, and to allow said second massage members to be selectively arranged either opposite to or parallel to said first massage members respectively, and

two pads engaged between said first and said second massage members respectively, to receive lower legs of users.
