Abstract (en)
The system uses both pressure variation and mechanical vibration to enhance massage effects. The massage device comprises at least one massage head (14) with a casing (20) and a chamber (22) connected to a central vacuum unit (54,56). The vacuum unit provides an alternating pressure reduction, and this causes the base of the massage head (34) to beat against the skin under the effect of the pressure alternations. The base of the massage head is carried by a further plate (32) which is solidly attached to the shaft (42) of a motor-reducer gear (44) with an eccentric link between the two. The motor-reducer gear may include a control for regulating the speed of rotation. The base of the massage head includes a number of projecting hemispheres (36).
