Massaging the human body to remove muscle tension and strains or, in general, to relax the muscle tissue in particular is regularly done by hand by pressing and moving the fingers of the masseur the body parts to be relaxed. This not only requires considerable effort, but also sufficient Experience, so that an effective massage can only rarely be carried out by laypeople alone.

In order to be able to carry out self-treatment with little effort, technical aids are known and although in particular electrically driven vibrators, which are relatively complex and have an electrical power source at the place of use. In addition, however, such vibration generators are not particularly effective in depth, so that at most they can promote blood circulation.

The task of the innovation is to create a massage body that is simply designed and therefore inexpensive to manufacture Can be handled by a layperson without any special knowledge or experience on the part of the user and without great effort

and also enables a deeply effective massage. According to the innovation it is provided that the massage roller has a cylindrical roller body, the outer surface of which is provided ruit bumps evenly distributed over the circumference is, as well as with two laterally arranged handles, which are connected to each other by an axis penetrating the roller body are connected. By placing such a massage roller on the human body parts to be massaged and shifting it a roller movement can be produced under pressure ^ i in the course of which the individual bumps penetrate the muscle meat and this is similar to the moving meat Put the masseur's fingers in motion under pressure, so that relaxation takes place and increased blood flow is promoted.

For this purpose, the massage roller can be designed in one piece, for example by being manufactured from plastic in an injection molding process will. In this case, however, there is friction between the handles of the massage roller and the palms of the User. It is therefore more advantageous if the roller body is rotatably mounted on the axis, the roller body as a cylinder may be formed on its peripheral surface carries a covering with elevations and depressions, which can for example consist of rubber or plastic. Elevations, which are arranged evenly distributed over the circumference, can preferably take the form of approximately hemispherical knobs be trained. However, there is also the possibility of spiral-shaped elevations and depressions

Provide grooves, or instead parallel webs that one after the other when turning "the massage roller for Use.

Embodiments of the innovation are below Explained with reference to a drawing. In the drawing:

Fig. 1 A massage roller in section with a rotatably mounted cylinder body

Fig. 2 A massage roller with parallel webs

Fig. 3 A massage roller with massage bodies arranged in a spiral

and
FIG. 4 shows a section through the arrangement of FIG. 3

The massage roller 1 shown in Fig. 1 has einan rotatably mounted cylindrical support body 2 with the one Covering 6 is connected, which has approximately semicircular knobs 3 in section on its outside. The cylindrical support body 2 is rotatably mounted on a shaft 5 which is provided with two laterally protruding handles 4. By Shifting the handles 4 and thus the entire massage roller, is a rotary movement of the cylindrical support body 2 with simultaneous rolling of the knobs 3 on the to be massaged Renden body part caused and thus caused a massage by the influence of the knobs 3.

The arrangement of Fig. 2 differs from that previously described to the extent that there, instead of individual knobs 3, continuous protruding parallel to each other Web 9 are provided.

In contrast, the arrangement according to FIGS. 3 and 4 shows elevations as the actual massage body, 3, which are released of grooves 8 are arranged spirally extending over the circumference, so that during a rolling movement of the Massage body comes into effect in full width. According to FIG. 4, the massage roller according to FIG. 3 is also formed in one piece.
