Abstract: A massage device capable of applying favorable pressure stimulation owing to expansion and shrinking of air bags irrespective of thickness of portions to be massaged such as legs or arms. The massage device has supporting bodies, strap bodies made of pliable material that are attached to the supporting bodies at their ends to form U-shaped sections, air bags provided at inner surfaces of strap bodies for receiving portions of a human body such as legs or arms to be massaged, and an air supply means for expanding and shrinking of the air bags. Upon locating portions to be massaged on the strap bodies, the strap bodies assume shapes that fit along the shapes of the portions of the body to be massaged to thus support the portions to be massaged on the strap bodies. Pressuring stimulation can then be applied to the portions to be massaged by making the air bags perform expansion and shrinking.

Abstract: A relaxation apparatus which comprises a reclining chair for supporting thereon a whole body of a person who desires relaxation. The person resting on the reclining chair is cyclically vibrated at a frequency not higher than 25 Hz. A control is provided for controlling the vibrating device. The maximum absolute value of acceleration of the vibration produced by the vibrating device to vibrate the person supported on the reclining chair is not greater than 0.1 G. The control controls the acceleration in dependence on the frequency of vibrations outputted by the vibrating device such that the acceleration is small when the frequency of vibrations outputted by the vibrating device is low while the acceleration is large when the frequency of vibrations is high.

Abstract: The present invention provides a massage machine comprising a living body information sensor 5 for detecting the living body information of the autonomic nervous system of the person to be massaged, and a control circuit 6 for controlling massage based on the living body information detected by the sensor 5. The control circuit 6 estimates the psychological state of the person based on variations in the living body information detected by the sensor 5, and adjusts massage movement in accordance with the estimated psychological state. In adjusting the massage movement, one of a relaxation mode and a refreshment mode can be selected, and the massage movement is so adjusted as to lower the activity of the autonomic nervous system in the relaxation mode, or is so adjusted as to increase the activity of the autonomic nervous system in the refreshment mode.

Abstract: A remote controlled massage device includes a remote control unit having a microprocessor, a keypad, and a transmitter, the microprocessor being programmed for generating output data directly corresponding to individual keystrokes of the keypad that define activation of particular vibrator elements, operation in particular time-variant power level sequences, relative vibration intensity, and relative speed of advancing through the time-variant power sequences. The transmitter has a transducer for radiating signals corresponding to the output data, for reflection from a ceiling under which the device is located, the data being transmitted in plural identical packets having a header, a sequence number, a device code program data, and an error code, subsequent sets of the identical packets having different sequence numbers. A massage unit of the device includes a cushion; electrically powered vibrator elements in the cushion; a detector supportable in an upwardly directed orientation relative to the cushion for receiving the reflected radiation signals; and a micro controller system electrically connected for driving the vibrator elements in a plurality of modes having variant power levels in response to the detector, the packets being validated using the error code and a settable device code of the massage unit, storing the sequence number of a last-received valid packet. Next-received valid packets having sequence numbers matching that of a last-received valid packet are ignored.

Abstract: A massage apparatus includes an upright frame member having a parallel pair of vertically extending guide rails, and an externally threaded screw shaft mounted on the frame member and disposed parallel to and between the guide rails. A slide frame extends between the guide rails and is coupled slidably thereto so as to be movable upwardly and downwardly therealong. A massage drive unit is mounted on the slide frame, and includes an upright rotatable drive shaft having a lower end provided with a first gear and an upper end provided with a second gear, and a massaging roller assembly driven by axial rotation of the drive shaft for imparting a massaging action. A first transmission belt is coupled to a motor on a lower frame part of the slide frame and the first gear so as to enable the motor to drive the drive shaft to rotate axially. A coupling unit is mounted on the upper frame part of the slide frame, and includes a rotary member coupled threadedly and rotatable relative to the screw shaft. A second transmission belt is coupled to the second gear and the rotary member so as to enable the second gear to drive rotation of the rotary member, thereby enabling the rotary member to move upwardly and downwardly along the screw shaft to result in corresponding upward and downward movement of the slide frame.
