Abstract
An improved vibrating massage apparatus in the form of an elongated pad incorporating a plurality of independently controllable vibrating members to impose vibratory oscillations along the full extent of the apparatus. Each vibrating member includes a motor having a pair of rotatable shafts extending outward therefrom in axial opposition to one other, a fixed eccentric weight being secured at the end of each shaft. Each vibrating motor is secured within a housing, the outer surface thereof extending outwardly into a planar flange. The planar flanges of the motor housings are imbedded within a unitary foam member which substantially defines the shape of the pad. An electrical switching circuit sequentially activates and deactivates each of the vibrating motors in a predetermined manner.
