[Class 81 (ii).] A device for domestic use for massaging the gums comprises a holder A, Fig. 3, in which is mounted a rotatable shaft C readily detachable from an outside source of power whereby the massage element at B may be rotated. Separate holders can be provided for each member of a family. The shaft C may be driven inany suitable manner as by a water motor or electrically or by clockwork or compressed air &c. The driving shaft C is supported in a tube D driven into the holder A. The massage member is attached to a threaded socket e in a contrate wheel E meshing with a pinion c on the shaft C. The socket e bears on a block F of the holder, and is retained by a detachable plate G. A block H forming the rear end of the holder A is threaded at h for engagement with a nut j turnably mounted on a flexible sheath J through which passes this driving cable j<1>. A driving sheath j2 with a half round bore receives a correspondingly shaped member c<1> of the shaft C. The holder is detached by unscrewing the nut j.
