摘要:
A massage chair is adapted to give a massage to a user using a massaging element attached to a massaging unit. The massage chair comprises a body-shape-information acquisition section for acquiring body-shape information of the user based on loads imposed on the massaging element from respective regions of the user, a shoulder-position detection section for detecting a shoulder position of the user based on the body-shape information, and a shoulder-position identification section. The shoulder-position identification section is operable to thrust the massaging element in a direction for a target protrusion distance at the detected shoulder position while measuring a load imposed on the massaging element. Then, the shoulder-position identification section is operable, based on the measured load, to determine whether the detected shoulder position is a true shoulder position. Further, when the detected shoulder position is determined to be mismatched with the true shoulder position, the shoulder-position identification section is operable to vertically move the massaging unit while re-measuring a load imposed on the massaging element, so as to identify the true shoulder position based on the re-measured load.

An apparatus for providing a sleep support surface that includes a resiliently deformable sleep support having a person-supporting surface and a resiliently deformable layer with a substantially closed elongate opening that accommodates part of a massaging apparatus that has resistive compressive properties of a resiliently deformable layer lacking an elongate opening when the opening is closed. In one embodiment, the sleep support is a mattress having a foam layer with a slit formed therein in which a movable massager that is a massager head of the massaging apparatus is received. One mattress embodiment includes a foam submattress having a lengthwise extending slit extending substantially the length of the mattress and a mattress topper overlying the massager head.

There is provided a massage device capable of producing innovative and comfortable massage effect by massaging a target body part over a wide area in its lengthwise direction with substantially rectilinear motion of a pressure-applying point. The massage device 1 comprises a pair of treatment members 23, 24 arranged face-to-face with each other at a spacing large enough for insertion of part of human body; a holding mechanism 162 for holding and pressing the body part in sandwich style by moving at least one of the paired treatment members or both of them 23, 24 in the direction of width of the body part set in place between the paired treatment members; and a moving mechanism 26 for moving the treatment member 23, 24 in the direction of length of the body part while maintaining the holding condition of the treatment member 23, 24 effected by the holding mechanism 162.
摘要:
A pressure-sensing massage machine that resolves the problems of difficult assembly and adjustment and the occurrence of operational errors common to a sensing mechanism that uses many components and devices. The massage machine of the present invention is able to monitor the pressure applied to the massage recipient by a motor-driven movably extending massaging member. A flexible member is provided in the transmission located between the massage member and the motor that drives the massage member, and a pressure sensing mechanism monitors the pressure applied to the massage recipient through the flexible displacement of the flexible member.

A body massager is provided with a housing. A carriage translates in an upper torso region of the housing. A first massager on the carriage extends in a forward direction from the housing. A second motor-driven massager is mounted to the housing at a lower torso region and extends in the forward direction from the housing further than the first motor-driven massager. Another body massager provides a guide with a longitudinal region and a transverse region. Another body massager provides a suspension on the carriage. Another body massager provides a plate on the carriage for supporting a massage member. An actuator is mounted to the carriage for adjusting the plate. Another body massager provides a contoured guide with an actuator for adjusting the guide. Another body massager provides a transversely contoured guide. Another body massager provides a contoured guide that extends forward in upper and lower torso regions.

This new invention is a frame and servo assembly for attaching to massage chair seats manufactured without an existing servo assembly. It includes a frame body, on which there is sliding rack, a screw drive, a positioning stabilizer bar, and a connecting plate. The sliding rack is coupled to various motor brackets, the screw drive, a driving block, a screw drive stop block, and a plurality of wave shaped massaging wheels. The various motor brackets are coupled to two motors. One of the motors utilizes an axle with an off-center axis on both ends. There are multiple connecting brackets installed on the off-center axle, with wheel brackets installed at the end of the connecting brackets. Various “wave” shaped wheels at the end of the wheel brackets aid to simulate the natural feel of human hand joint movements to a user. At the two ends of the additional motor assemblies are bases for joint assemblies. These joint bases are connected to the connecting brackets via connecting joints. The wheels are located on the two ends of the sliding rack. The positioning stabilizer bar is affixed inside the frame body for stability.

Disclosed is a foot massaging apparatus, which comprises a housing for supporting user's foot, a rotatable roller unit mounted on the housing, and a toe-region pinching unit mounted on the housing and located in front of the rotatable roller unit. The toe-region pinching unit has an air cell adapted to be inflated and deflated, respectively, by charging and discharging air thereto and therefrom, so as to repeatedly pinch the toe region of the user's foot. The foot massaging apparatus can repeatedly perform a pressing operation for the foot or other leg region using the rotatable roller unit and a massaging operation for the toe region to prevent the user from getting bored.

An apparatus for massaging calves is able to adjust a distance between two plates, the apparatus having at least two plates that are arranged at a distance from one another and that come into contact with the calf during massage on both sides thereof, and having a drive shaft, the plates being connected to the drive shaft by coupling members in such a manner that a rotational movement of the drive shaft brings about a movement of the plates for carrying out the calf massage. A distance adjusting mechanism is also provided in order to adapt the distance between the two plates to the size of the calf to be massaged.
