Abstract:

A hand-held massage tool that has a number of rotating balls fitted into a grip. The balls are placed in sockets that permit them to rotate freely within the socket. This allows full omni-directional movement of the balls within the socket. The compartment is designed to hold only a portion of each ball. The remaining part of each ball rests above the massager body. The lower portion of the massager body curves downward forming an open center portion and a lower gripping surface. The lower gripping surface has a finger grip surface molded into the inner face of the lower gripping surface. Because the balls turn omni-directionally, there is no restriction on the movement of the device over the body. Moreover, there is no binding or abrasive rubbing caused by the balls not turning in a particular direction. Consequently, the device affords a comfortable, thorough massage.
