Abstract: A heated massage ball apparatus has a ball that may be heated retained within a grip that allows for the ball to rotate freely therewithin. The ball may be heated, for example, in a microwave oven, and may be substantially hollow and filled with a liquid that retains heat. The grip is pliable enough to allow the forced insertion or ejection of the ball past its widest circumference. An opening in the bottom of the base may facilitate the removal of the ball from the base, whereby the user inserts a finger therein to force the ball out of the grip. A heating base can accept the grip and ball and provide heat to the ball, such as a heated conductor that extends through the bottom opening in the grip and heats the ball by direct contact and thermal conduction. An electrical circuit may be included that provides on/off and temperature controls, a heating element, a temperature-sensing means, a thermostat, and a display for indicating a target and current ball temperatures.

Abstract translation: 加热的按摩球装置具有保持在能够使球自由旋转的把手内的加热球。 球可以例如在微波炉中加热，并且可以基本上是中空的并且填充有保持热量的液体。 抓地力足够柔软以允许球强制插入或弹出超过其最宽的圆周。 基部底部的开口可以有助于从基座移除球，由此使用者将手指插入其中以迫使球离开手柄。 加热基座可以接受把手和球并且向球提供热量，例如延伸穿过手柄中的底部开口的加热导体，并​​通过直接接触和热传导来加热球。 可以包括提供开/关和温度控制的电路，加热元件，温度感测装置，恒温器和用于指示目标和当前球温度的显示器。
