Abstract

La présente invention concerne une machine de massage à vibration de type masque 100 qui est conçue de façon à être superposée au-dessus d'une feuille faciale 200 recouvrant le visage lorsqu'elle est utilisée, et pourvue de : une partie de présentation de vibration 13 sur laquelle un corps de transmission de vibration 300 est disposé et qui fait saillie vers un côté opposé du masque par rapport au visage ; et des parties de renflement 12 qui font saillie vers le visage à des emplacements différents de celui de la partie de présentation de vibration 13. La partie de présentation de vibration 13 n'entre pas en contact avec la feuille faciale 200, tandis que les parties de renflement 12 entrent en contact avec la feuille faciale 200, et dans cet état, la partie de transmission de vibration 300 transmet des vibrations à la partie de présentation de vibration 13 de sorte que les vibrations provenant de la partie de présentation de vibration 13 soient transmises à la feuille faciale 200 par l'intermédiaire des parties de renflement qui sont retirées de la partie de présentation de vibration 13. Par conséquent, la totalité de la feuille faciale 200 vibre de sorte que des vibrations soient transmises sur l'ensemble du visage.
