Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to a massage brush, and particularly relates to a massage brush with a tightly engaged massage structure to prevent the massage structure from being removed from the massage brush.
  • 2. Background of the Invention
  • Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional massage brush 1 a includes a massage structure 11 a, a circle pad 12 a engaged with the massage structure 11 a and an exterior cover 13 a clamping the pad ring 12 a. The massage structure 11 a has a U-shaped fastening portion 111 a made integrally in one piece and clipping a flange portion 121 a of the circle pad 12 a for the circle pad 12 a to be received therein. The circle pad 12 a has a circular recess 122 a formed in a bottom thereof, and the exterior cover 13 a has a circular protrusion 131 a arranged integrally in one piece thereon and relating to the circular recess 122 a for the circular protrusion 131 a engaging in the circular recess 122 a. The conventional massage brush 1 a further includes a back paste 14 a filled between the circular protrusion 131 a and the circular recess 122 a for a tight engagement therebetween.
  • However, the U-shaped fastening portion 111 a of the conventional massage brush 1 a becomes fatigued after long-term use and there is no retaining device or structure securing the U-shaped fastening portion 111 a, so the U-shaped fastening portion 111 a will be removed easily and the conventional massage brush 1 a will become useless.
  • The conventional massage brush 1 a connects the circular protrusion 131 a in the circular recess 122 a via the back paste 14 a, and accordingly match problems must be considered between the circle pad 12 a and the back paste 14 a, or between the exterior cover 13 a and the back paste 14 a (which has a material interaction therebetween). Usually, the circle pad 12 a and the exterior cover 13 a are made of PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) materials. The PMMA materials are usually more expensive than other polymers, such as PP (polypropylene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and the like. But these other materials cannot be substituted for the PMMA because of the back paste 14 a and match problems there between, and that keeps the cost high.
  • In addition, the back paste 14 a filled therein may be improper and overfilled, and the PMMA is a transparent material, so that the overfilled back paste 14 a will be seen and negatively affect its attractiveness to purchasers.
  • Furthermore, the back paste 14 a filled therein will connect the circle pad 12 a to the exterior cover 13 a so tightly that changing the massage structure 11 a of the conventional massage brush 1 a is impossible. When the massage structure 11 a wears out, the conventional massage brush 1 a is useless. If the circle pad 12 a or the exterior cover 13 a breaks from incorrect use, the first conventional massage brush 1 a is also useless.
  • Hence, an improvement over the prior art is required to overcome the disadvantages thereof.
  • SUMMARY OF INVENTION
  • The primary object of the invention is therefore to specify a tightly engaged massage brush to prevent a massage structure thereof from being removed therefrom. The secondary object of the invention is therefore to specify an easily assembled and detached massage brush, the elements of which can be changed.
  • The third object of the invention is therefore to specify a massage brush that can be made of other polymer materials to reduce costs.
  • The fourth object of the invention is therefore to specify a massage brush that omits the back paste, so that design and material match problems need not be considered, and the manufacturing efficiency thereof is improved.
  • The fifth object of the invention is therefore to specify a massage brush with an appearance improved by omitting the back paste, thereby increasing the attractiveness thereof to purchasers.
  • According to the invention, this object is achieved by a massage brush including a massage structure, an orientation ring engaging tightly with the massage structure, a circular pad received in the massage structure, and an exterior cover retained against the circular pad and the orientation ring. The circular pad includes a flange disposed therearround and clamped in the massage structure, and an L-shaped restriction portion extending downwardly from a bottom thereof to support the orientation ring thereon. The orientation ring engages with the massage structure, the L-shaped restriction portion, and the exterior cover simultaneously for tightly clamping the massage structure therewith.
  • To provide a further understanding of the invention, the following detailed description illustrates embodiments and examples of the invention. Examples of the more important features of the invention thus have been summarized rather broadly in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the contributions to the art may be appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject of the claims appended hereto.

  • Furthermore, corresponding to the conventional massage brush 1 a, the present invention omits the back paste 14 a, so that design and material match problems due to the back paste 14 a will never be considered. The orientation ring 24, the circular pad 22 and the exterior cover 23 will not be restricted by made of the PMMA, thus the process and manufacturing steps will be simplified. The orientation ring 24, the circular pad 22 and the exterior cover 23 may be made of PP (Polypropylene) or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) alternatively to reduce costs. The prevent invention avoids destroying the appearance thereof without the back paste 14 a, and users' purchasing wills accordingly will be inspired.
  • The present invention provides the massage structure 21, the orientation ring 24, the circular pad 22 and the exterior cover 23 together assembled into the massage brush 2. The present invention omits the back paste 14 a, which is used as a glue and is permanent, and provides a massage brush 2 that is easily assembled or detachable for changing elements thereof.
  • Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, the exterior cover 23 includes a long handle 233 for manipulating. With respect to FIG. 5, a second embodiment of the massage brush 2, the exterior cover 23 includes a pinch portion 234 extended from a top thereof. The pinch portion 234 has a curve body 2341 shaped ergonomically and a head 2342 connecting the curve body 2341, whereby the head 2342 is bigger than the curve body 2341. A user holds the curve body 2341 with the fingers and retains the head 2342 by the back of the hands.
  • In FIG. 6, in a third embodiment of the massage brush 2, the pinch portion 234 is disposed on an end of the top of the exterior cover 23, and the head 2342 has a retention member 2343 extending forward from an opposite end thereof. The user clamps the curve body 2341 with the fingers and retains the head 2342 and the retention member 2343 by back of the hands.
  • The massage brush 2 includes the massage structure 21, the orientation ring 24 engaged tightly with the massage structure 21, the circular pad 22 received in the massage structure 21, and the exterior cover 23 retained against the circular pad 22 and the orientation ring 24. The flange 221 and the L-shaped restriction portion 222 of the circular pad 22 together provide the vertical clamping force in the upper-to-lower direction, and the flange 221 of the circular pad 22 and the orientation ring 24 together provide the horizontal clamping force in the right-to-left direction, for preventing the massage structure 21 from being removed therefrom during use.
  • It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the above description is only illustrative of specific embodiments and examples of the invention. The invention should therefore cover various modifications and variations made to the herein-described structure and operations of the invention, provided they fall within the scope of the invention as defined in the following appended claims.
