  • the object of the invention described in this document is to provide a massage device with a simple structure that can be manufactured more cost-effectively than conventional massage devices and has an acceptable massage effect. It should also be achieved that the massage device can be installed in the backrest of a massage seat.
  • a frame is provided in the generic massage device, in the longitudinal direction of which a hollow tube guide is provided, in which a threaded rod is in turn arranged.
  • On the thread rod is screwed on a threaded block, which is guided within the hollow pipe guide with support on the inner walls.
  • the threaded rod is driven by a geared motor so that when the threaded rod is rotated, depending on the direction of rotation of the geared motor, the threaded block is moved up and down in the vertical direction.
  • the pipe guide, the threaded rod and the threaded block thus form a transmission device for the transmission of a massage movement from the gear motor forming the drive to a massage device.
  • the massage device has two holding plates arranged parallel to one another, on which a plurality of massage elements in the form of massage wheels are mounted.
  • the massage plates are fixed to the thread block via tabs.
  • the generic massage device can only perform a stretching massage by moving the massage device with its massage elements up and down within the frame.
