Abstract:
A massage machine includes a massage portion that performs a massage with respect to a user and a first storage section that stores a first massage course that corresponds to a musical piece. The musical piece is subject to a selection by the user. The massage machine includes a control unit that is configured to control an operation of the massage portion based on the first massage course. The massage machine may include a second storage section that stores data of the musical piece. The first massage course stored in the first storage section may be formed based on a variation of an acoustic signal included in the data of the musical piece stored in the second storage section. In this case, the control unit may be configured to execute the second massage course.

The massage machine further includes an air unit that supplies and discharge air to and from the air cells and a control unit that controls the motor and the air unit.
Abstract:
A set-down device for setting down on a neurophysiological stimulator for transmitting movements generated by the system, at least comprising a set down side for setting down on the stimulator, and also comprising a transmission side for transmitting the movements received via the set-down side, wherein the transmission side has at least one at least partially projecting stimulation element, which is suitable for transmitting the movements and thus for neurophysiological stimulation. A neurophysiological stimulator for stimulating an object by the transmission of movements generated by the stimulator, at least comprising a movement unit and at least one drive unit for generating the movement, the drive unit being coupled to the movement unit, wherein the drive unit is designed as a tumbling and/or spinning unit and generates a tumbling and/or spinning movement. A method for the neurophysiological stimulation of an object by the transmission of movements generated by a stimulator.
Abstract:
A massaging device includes a base part, vibrators configured to be brought into contact with target parts of a user and to massage the target parts with vibration, and springs each including a first end fixed to the base part and a second end attached to the corresponding one of the vibrators. The spring constants of the springs are set based on skin stress of the target parts.
Abstract:
A kinesitherapeutic bed structure includes a bed frame and a body-supportable coil spring assembly carried by the frame. An upper vibratory element is accommodated within an opening in the coil spring assembly. A motion generating mechanism is carried by the bed frame and includes top and bottom plate elements which are reciprocable in horizontal planes in mutually perpendicular directions. The upper vibratory element is carried by the top plate element for movement therewith. Drive means are provided for independently imparting horizontal movement to the top and bottom plates and vertical movement to the upper vibratory element. The upper vibratory element thus is adapted to transmit to the person supported on the coil spring assembly motion in the horizontal and vertical directions representative of the movement of the top and bottom plate elements and the upper vibratory element respectively.

Abstract:
Under the control of a controller, a drive mechanism portion moves a massaging member and an ascent-descent mechanism moves up and down the massaging member together with the entire drive mechanism portion. During an ordinary kneading massage, the massaging member performs a relative motion to describe a reference locus in the shape of a closed curve. The controller controls to make the massaging member perform a relative reciprocating movement within a partial movement range corresponding to a partial segment of the reference locus and simultaneously controls to make the ascent-descent mechanism move the drive mechanism portion up and down. The relative reciprocating movement of the massaging member along the partial segment of the reference locus and the up-down movement of the entire drive mechanism portion are combined together to produce a new motion of the massaging member describing a locus different from the reference locus.
