Abstract

Drive mechanism in an automatic massaging apparatus arranged to smoothly effect operational switching for a pair of massaging rollers which carry out a massaging operation and a percussion operation, and which reduces mechanical noise which occurs when carrying out either operation. The drive mechanism comprises two independently rotatable gears which respectively rotate with forward and reverse rotation of a main drive shaft which is rotated by a reversing actuating motor. Two different bearing-supported subordinate shafts are respectively engaged with the gears. Resilient members are respectively inserted between a first subordinate gear and a gearbox, and between a rotational gear and the gearbox. A connecting rod and a connecting member are arranged in such a way as to connect each of the massaging rollers to a respective end of each of the subordinate shafts.
