Abstract (en)

The massager consists of a body (2) in the shape of a handle topped by a frame (3), e.g. circular in shape, that surrounds a convex elastically-deformable membrane (4) with a surface shape that can be varied by exerting finger pressure from the back (8). The frame lies in a plane (P) at an angle of preferably 5 - 15 degrees to the lengthwise axis (X) of the handle, and the membrane can be attached to the frame by overmoulding or an interchangeable clip or threaded fastening. The massaging surface (6) of the membrane has undulating or other surface reliefs (7).
