Far infra-red ray and anion emitting thermal rotary massager for decreasing fats in the abdominal region of a human body equipped with rotating electric connectors

What is this patent about?

’598 is related to the field of therapeutic massage devices, specifically those utilizing rotating components to provide mechanical stimulation to the body. Traditional rotary massagers often lack integrated heating elements because the continuous 360-degree rotation tends to tangle or snap standard electrical wiring. This limitation prevents the delivery of combined thermal and mechanical therapy, which is particularly effective for treating abdominal ailments, improving circulation, and stimulating deep nerve centers.

The underlying idea behind ’598 is to utilize a dual-track rolling bearing assembly as a conductive bridge to transfer electricity from a stationary base to a rotating massage head. By treating metal ball bearings and their corresponding races as electrical conduits, the invention maintains a continuous circuit without physical wires crossing the rotational axis. This allows the massage balls to be actively heated by internal elements while they spin indefinitely, enabling the emission of far-infrared radiation and anions directly at the point of contact with the skin.

The claims of ’598 focus on a specific rotary electric connector architecture comprising a stationary seating member and a rotating plate. The assembly features two concentric tracks—an inner and an outer ring—each containing a plurality of metal rolling balls that facilitate both smooth mechanical rotation and electrical conduction. The independent claim details the connection of these tracks to nickel/chrome heaters embedded within the massage balls, using a specific arrangement of fixing rings and upper metal rings to bridge the gap between the main power source and the moving heaters.

In practice, the device functions by housing the heating elements within a silica-based filling material inside the massage balls. When the motor drives the worm gear and rotary plate, the metal rolling balls maintain constant contact with the upper and lower rings, acting as a live interface. This ensures that the nickel/chrome wires receive steady power to heat the silica, which then radiates far-infrared energy. The massage balls are also set at varying heights to effectively target specific abdominal nerve points that reside at different depths within the body tissue.

This approach differs from prior art by moving the heat source into the rotating balls themselves rather than using stationary lamps or external heating pads. While previous designs relied on brushes or stationary infrared sources that lose intensity over distance, the ’598 design achieves direct thermal conduction through a 360-degree interface. By integrating the electrical path into the bearing mechanism, the invention eliminates the risk of wire fatigue and ensures that the therapeutic benefits of heat and anions are delivered precisely where the mechanical pressure is applied.
