The unit has a power source with a shaft connected to a cable extending to a massage applicator to rotate an eccentric therein, the cable having at both ends drive keys in sliding engagement with the motor and applicator shafts which shafts have accommodating bores to slidingly receive the cable drive keys to thus accommodate tension and compression exerted upon the cable during driving engagement, with a sheath surrounding the cable and having swivel couplings at the sheath ends, the sheath having at each end ferrules connected to the power unit and the applicator by nuts, and having a high strength bearing of stronger material than the applicator near the eccentric, with the applicator having watertight seals, and the applicator structure providing a passageway for the eccentric drive shaft and a ferrule therein, the power unit having a carrying handle receiving and releasably locking the applicator allowing a hand to grasp and carry both the power unit handle and the applicator, with the applicator rear having a textile latch to lock with a belt for holding the applicator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A massage assembly for therapeutic use by an individual and for carrying by a human hand comprising: (a) a massage applicator having a vibrating head and a handle; (b) a mount for the applicator, the mount comprising a member having a recess for receiving the applicator handle, the recess having resilient projections which allow movement of the applicator handle into the recess to provide a static lock to maintain the applicator handle in the recess but which give to allow the applicator to be removed from the mount by a pull of the hand, wherein the applicator handle has locking means and the mount has locking means for engagement of the applicator handle locking means with the mount locking means to hold the applicator against movement along the axis of the mount recess, and wherein one of the applicator handle and mount member has a projection and the other has a cavity for receiving said projection to lock the handle against movement along the axis of the mount.
2.
A massage assembly for therapeutic use by placing it against the body of an individual and for carrying by a human hand comprising: (a) a massage applicator having a vibrating head and a handle; (b) a mount for the applicator, the mount comprising a member having a recess for receiving the applicator handle, the recess having resilient projections which allow movement of the applicator handle into the recess to provide a static lock to maintain the applicator handle in the recess but which give to allow the applicator to be removed from the mount by a pull of the hand, and wherein the applicator handle has locking means and the mount has locking means for engagement of the applicator handle locking means with the mount locking means to hold the applicator against movement along the axis of the mount recess in both axial directions.
