Massage Device with Paddle and Smooth Rollers for Pinching Action
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing skin massage devices are limited in their ability to provide a light pinching massage, particularly for sensitive areas like the face and neck, and fail to effectively rejuvenate and firm the skin beyond stretching or pinching techniques.
Innovation Solution
A facial massage device featuring two parallel rollers, one with paddles and the other with a smooth surface, where the rollers spin in the same direction but at different speeds, allowing for a Jacquet pinching action without causing pain, and a design that allows for comfortable use on inclined surfaces, optionally with motorization, and additional features like electric current application, light diffusion, and cosmetic product dispensing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a roller with paddles is used to perform pinching massage, then the skin can be rejuvenated and firmed, but the skin may be pinched or pulled causing discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a paddle roller and a smooth roller into a single integrated device. The paddle roller provides the pinching massage action for rejuvenation, while the smooth roller simultaneously performs a gliding massage to prevent skin discomfort, effectively merging two massage functions into one device.
Solution Approach 2:
The smooth roller acts as an intermediary element that mediates between the paddle roller and the skin. It provides a protective gliding action that reduces direct pinching contact, thereby reducing discomfort while allowing the paddle roller to maintain its rejuvenating pinching effect.
2Reliability
If the roller is designed for effective pinching massage, then skin rejuvenation is achieved, but the device becomes too large for sensitive areas like face and neck
Solution Approach 1:
The massage head is segmented into two distinct functional rollers (paddle roller and smooth roller) that operate independently yet cooperatively. This segmentation allows each roller to be optimized for its specific function while keeping the overall device compact enough for sensitive areas.
Solution Approach 2:
By merging the pinching function (paddle roller) and the protective gliding function (smooth roller) into a single compact massage head, the device achieves effective skin rejuvenation without requiring a large size, making it suitable for face and neck areas.
3Reliability
If traditional stretching or pinching massage is used, then skin tone can be improved, but other types of massage stimulation needed for comprehensive rejuvenation are not provided
Solution Approach 1:
The device achieves multi-functionality by incorporating two different roller types that perform different massage actions (pinching and gliding). This allows the single device to provide comprehensive skin rejuvenation through multiple massage techniques, addressing various skin concerns simultaneously.

AI summary
Provided is a facial massage device including: —a massage head that includes: —two parallel massage rollers that are mobiles in rotation on themselves about two rotational axes parallel to each other and to the application surface (S), and set apart from each other, being separated by a working area (Z), a first roller including at least one paddle that extends radially projecting from the surface of the first roller, and the second roller having a smooth surface, —transmission assembly designed to rotate the rollers in the same direction, the first roller moving from outside the working area (Z) to inside the working area (Z), and the second roller moving from inside the working area to outside the working area, when viewed from outside the massage head, —and a drive housing that carries the massage head and that includes an electric motor that actuates drive means designed to transmit the drive from the electric motor to the transmission means.
