Abstract:
An adjustable massage bed assembly including a head motor for controllably raising and lowering a head section of a mattress, a foot motor for controllably raising and lowering a foot section of the mattress, and a vibratory motor for imparting a massaging action to the mattress. A handheld control unit has first and second mechanisms for controlling operations of the head and foot motors, and a third mechanism for controlling an operation of the vibratory motor. The third mechanism when actuated also automatically stops any ongoing operation of the head and foot motors as a safety feature.
Abstract:
A therapeutic device that provides light therapy in a sauna bed that has a hood that fits over the head of a person lying in a sauna bed. The hood has interior lights providing selected light intensity that simulates outdoor light at mid day and which directs and scatters the light in a manner substantially similar to the direction of light from natural sources onto the head of a user. A strobe light is also provided as well as selectable colored lights to permit the user to select a desired light regime.
Abstract:
A driven massager of roller type for incorporation into a seat or backrest of a chair or into a mat as traveling massage unit. A traveling housing of the massage unit houses and carries drive and operating mechanisms for driving the traveling unit and operating a rotatable pair of elongate massage pressure rollers carried thereon disposed axially spaced in a common plane above the housing and driven alternatively in circular clockwise and counterclockwise motion while the traveling housing is stationary along a rectilinear path of travel or traveling thereon in two opposite directions on a pair of parallel gear racks laterally spaced defining the path of travel. The traveling housing is provided with driven paired gears on opposite sides for traveling on the gear racks. The massage pressure rollers are mounted on a support that provides for moving the rollers between two planes spaced above the level of the traveling housing for variably applying massage pressure to a user seated in the chair or reclining thereon or on a mat. The various circular motions and movements between the planes can be effected simultaneously or separately with the massage unit stationary or traveling.
Abstract:
A roller mechanism is provided for a massage table which will allow a roller to accurately follow the curvature of a patient's back, and which will maintain a substantially constant pressure on the patient's back. The roller mechanism includes a roller assembly frame which slides beneath the table. A roller frame, on which the roller is journaled, is pivotally mounted to the roller assembly frame so that the roller may move vertically relative to the fame. A spring is connected at one end to an end of the roller frame and at another end to a bracket which is movable vertically relative to the roller assembly frame. The spring biases the pivotal roller frame upwardly to keep the roller in contact with the bottom of the table's cushion on which the patient lies. By changing the position of the bracket, the spring tension can be changed, to alter the pressure exerted by the roller against the patient's back.
Abstract:
A multi-functional automatic circular massaging device including at least a pair of motors respectively disposed in a pair of housings to rotatively drive cams for creating a vibrating massaging effect, a soft pad formed with two lateral recesses for receiving the housings, a heating coil sandwiched between two layers of unwoven fabrics, a surface layer covering the soft pad, and a controlling box connected to the motors and an external power source. The surface layer is formed with alternating X-shaped protuberances and spherical bosses and alternating long and short rod-like protuberances disposed on four side edges of the surface layer. The controlling box includes a circuit board having a specific chip which controls the motors to output varying power at a predetermined time interval, creating sequential automatic circularly varying at least eight stages of massaging effect from strongest stage to weakest stage. A setting key of the controlling box is used to vary and fix the time interval for each of the eight stages. A heating key is used to activate the heating coil for creating heating effect. The massaging device is suitable to be disposed in both back cushion and seat cushion of a seat.
Abstract:
An improved vibrating massage apparatus in the form of an elongated pad incorporating a plurality of independently controllable vibrating members to impose vibratory oscillations along the full extent of the apparatus. Each vibrating member includes a motor having a pair of rotatable shafts extending outward therefrom in axial opposition to one other, a fixed eccentric weight being secured at the end of each shaft. Each vibrating motor is secured within a housing, the outer surface thereof extending outwardly into a planar flange. The planar flanges of the motor housings are imbedded within a unitary foam member which substantially defines the shape of the pad. An electrical switching circuit sequentially activates and deactivates each of the vibrating motors in a predetermined manner.
Abstract:
A carrier holding massage rollers is provided on an upper surface of a base plate so that the carrier can run on the upper surface of the base plate. A vibration transmission plate made of a material capable of transmitting vibration is provided on the base plate. The vibration transmission plate is provided with a vibration generator. Thus, when the vibration generator is actuated, the vibration transmission plate vibrates to massage a person lying on his/her back over the base plate.
Abstract:
A body speaker comprising a casing having an upper part and a lower part; the upper part has a central circular aperture closed by a cap, a thin magnetic disk with a small diameter centrally attached on the inside of the cap, a tubular member fixed around the central circular aperture of the upper part, a solenoid coil wound around the tubular member. An oscillation body is disposed between the upper and lower parts for oscillating in response to variation of the magnetic field of the solenoid coil. Gaps are provided in an assembled configuration of the upper and lower parts, between the upper and lower surfaces of the oscillation body and the inside surfaces of the upper and lower parts of the casing when the oscillation body is fixed on the inside wall of the casing by means of an oscillation ring, so that the oscillation body may freely oscillate upwards and downwards in response to variation of the magnetic field of the solenoid coil conducting current.
Abstract:
A massage table is disclosed which has a flat stationary top covered with flexible material. A carriage is mounted for longitudinal movement beneath the top. The carriage has a first freely rotatable roller mounted transversely on the carriage for contacting the legs of a patient lying on the top in an area between the knee and the ankle of the patient, a second transverse roller mounted on the carriage parallel to the first roller for contacting the patient in the area of the thighs and a third transverse roller mounted on the carriage parallel to the first and second rollers for contacting the patient in the area of the back and shoulders. A fourth roller mechanism is mounted in the table to contact the patient in the neck area. The fourth roller mechanism includes a rotatable triangular carriage, a set of transverse rollers mounted on each apex of the triangular carriage, with each set of transverse rollers being formed by a pair of hemispherical roller portions whose curved portions face each other.
