1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a massaging device, and more particularly to a massaging device including a fluid containing structure or configuration for containing the heated fluid or hot water and for providing a heat to comfortably heat and massage the user.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Typical massaging devices comprise a relatively harder or stronger inner housing, and a relatively softer or resilient outer layer for selectively contacting or engaging with the users and for massaging purposes.
For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,807,603 to Yasui discloses one of the typical massaging devices also comprising a relatively harder or stronger inner housing having a cylindrical shape or contour or structure, and a relatively softer or resilient outer layer for selectively contacting or engaging with the users and for massaging purposes.
However, the typical massaging devices include a solid structure or configuration having no space or compartment to receive and contain the heated fluid or hot water such that the typical massaging devices may not provide a heat to comfortably heat and massage the user.
U.S. Pat. No. 8,888,808 to Park discloses another typical massaging device comprising a planar base member having a number of projections or protrusions extended outwardly therefrom for frictionally contacting or engaging with the users and for massaging purposes.
However, similarly, the typical massaging devices also include a solid structure or configuration having no space or compartment to receive and contain the heated fluid or hot water such that the typical massaging devices may not provide a heat to comfortably heat and massage the user.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional massaging devices.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a massaging device including a fluid containing structure or configuration for containing the heated fluid or hot water and for providing a heat to comfortably heat and massage the user.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a massaging device comprising a housing including a chamber formed therein, and including a mouth formed in the housing and communicating with the chamber of the housing for filling a fluid, such as a heated fluid or hot water, into the chamber of the housing, and a cover engaged with the mouth of the housing for enclosing the chamber of the housing and for retaining the fluid within the chamber of the housing and for preventing the fluid from flowing out of the chamber of the housing. The heat provided from the heated fluid or hot water may suitably warm up the muscles and nerves of the user and may increase or facilitate the massaging effect to the user.
The housing includes a number of peripheral protrusions extended outwardly therefrom for forming at least one peripheral recess between the peripheral protrusions respectively and for massaging purposes and/or for increasing the friction between the user and the housing.
The housing includes an inner thread formed in the mouth, and the cover includes an outer thread for engaging with the inner thread of the housing and for attaching the cover to the mouth of the housing, or for selectively detaching or disengaging the cover from the mouth of the housing.
The cover includes at least one depression formed therein for forming or defining a knob and for being grasped or operated with the user, and arranged for allowing the user to thread or to unthread the cover from the mouth of the housing. The housing includes a casing extended into the chamber of the housing, and the casing preferably includes an inner end portion engaged with the cover for anchoring or positioning the cover in place.
Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of the detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to the drawings, and initially to
As shown in
The cover 30 includes one or more (such as two) notches or depressions 32 formed therein for forming or defining a relatively protruded or projected knob 33 thereon and for being grasped or operated with the user, and arranged for allowing the user to thread or to unthread the cover 30 from the mouth 14 of the housing 10. The cover 30 may thus be selectively and detachably or changeably attached to the mouth 14 of the housing 10 for blocking or enclosing the chamber 13 of the housing 10 and for solidly and stably retaining the fluid 80 within the chamber 13 of the housing 10, and for preventing the fluid 80 from flowing out of the chamber 13 of the housing 10.
As also shown in
In operation, as shown in
It is to be noted that the typical massaging devices have no space or compartment to receive and contain the heated fluid or hot water such that the typical massaging devices may not provide a heat to comfortably heat and massage the user. The heat provided from the heated fluid or hot water 80 may suitably warm up the muscles and nerves of the user and may further increase the massaging effect to the user.
Accordingly, the massaging device in accordance with the present invention includes a fluid containing structure or configuration for containing the heated fluid or hot water and for providing a heat to comfortably heat or warm up the muscles of the user and for massaging the user.
Although this invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is to be understood that the present disclosure has been made by way of example only and that numerous changes in the detailed construction and the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
