A charging stand for selectively enclosing and exposing an appliance such as a hair trimmer having a rechargeable battery includes a base and a cover. The base has an access opening for supporting the appliance, and electrical contacts for charging the battery. The cover fits over the base to define an interior space for enclosing the appliance, and can be secured to the base in at least two positions. In a first position, the cover encloses the appliance with the base. In the second position, the cover exposes the appliance when the appliance is in a raised position.

A kneader massager includes a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion, each upper and lower portion partially defining a power transmission chamber having at least one opening. Also included is least one pair of massaging members for massaging the skin of a user, with each such pair of massaging members being mounted in the chamber for reciprocating movement relative to each other, and extending through the at least one opening in the housing. A motor is provided for powering the massaging members and is disposed in the power transmission chamber, and a drive assembly is also disposed in the power transmission chamber for transmitting power from the motor to the massaging members to move each pair of the massaging members between a relaxed position and a pressing position relative to each other. A principal feature of the present invention is the provision of a dwell feature in the drive assembly for periodically prolonging the massaging members in said pressing position. This dwell feature creates a kneading and pressing action which is a closer simulation of manual massage than conventional automatic massaging devices.
