Abstract: An air-tight foam-filled bladder is used for varying massage intensity in a massage chair, massage mat, or other massage device. The bladder may be compressed from a default or relaxed thickness by evacuating air from the bladder. The thickness of the foam-filled bladder may be reduced to a collapsed thickness in which the foam is compressed within the bladder. In use, the foam-filled bladder is placed proximate a conventional fixed massage mechanism in a massage device, such as in the back rest of a massage chair. By controlling the amount of air evacuated from the bladder, the intensity of the massage is controlled by varying the amount of pressure exerted by the fixed massage mechanism on the user. In the case of a massage chair, the user may advantageously sit back in the chair without discomfort when the user does not want a massage, and may control the intensity of the massage provided by the chair. In another embodiment, an active pump may be used to inflate one or more bladders that may or may not include a foam insert. The number, size and location of the bladders may be varied in any of the embodiments.

Abstract translation: 气密泡沫填充的膀胱用于改变按摩椅，按摩垫或其他按摩装置中的按摩强度。 通过从膀胱排出空气可以使膀胱从默认或松弛的厚度压缩。 泡沫填充的囊的厚度可以减小到其中泡沫在膀胱内被压缩的折叠厚度。 在使用中，泡沫填充的囊被放置在按摩装置中的常规固定按摩机构附近，例如在按摩椅的后部。 通过控制从膀胱排出的空气的量，通过改变固定按摩机构对使用者施加的压力的量来控制按摩的强度。 在按摩椅的情况下，当用户不想要按摩时，使用者可以有利地坐在椅子上而不会不适，并且可以控制由椅子提供的按摩的强度。 在另一个实施例中，可以使用主动泵来膨胀一个或多个可以包括或可以不包括泡沫插入物的气囊。 在任何实施例中，气囊的数量，尺寸和位置可以变化。

Abstract: An inflatable bladder position a distance from a joint is attached to an external structural support which crosses the joint but does not support it. By inflating the bladder one limb segment is forced towards the external support thereby increasing the ranges of motion of that joint. Further, the inflatable bladder has an instant release valve which, when pressed, will instantly release the pressure within the bladder. The limb is positioned intermediate the bladder and the external structural support for optimal biomechanical efficiency.

Abstract: An air cushion bed. The air cushion bed includes a massaging device. The massaging device includes an air cushion, vibrating motor, motor casing, massaging plate and adhesive strip. The air cushion includes air bladders that are linked together, and the vibrating motor is installed in the motor casing, whereon the massaging plate is installed. An adhesive strip is installed on the outer surface of the motor casing so that the motor casing can be fixed on the air bladders of the air cushion, allowing the air cushion bed to be a detachable device. The air cushion bed utilizes a microcomputer to activate the vibrating motor, which causes the motor casing to vibrate, which causes the massaging plate to vibrate, so that a patient resting on the massaging device can be massaged on the back portion through the vibration of the massaging plate, and the patient's blood circulation can be improved to minimize any bedsores for the patient.

Abstract: A rapid inflation and venting air valve of an airbed comprises at least one air inlet, a lower opening, cover openings, and, joint tubes; and a blower having a wind suction opening and a wind transfer tube. When the wind transfer tube is communicated with the air inlet and the joint tubes, air can be inflated into airbags. When the wind suction opening is communicated with the lower opening and the joint tubes, air can be vented out. Thereby, by only operating the rotary element, the functions of inflation and venting can be performed rapidly. As a result the object of emergency rescue is achieved. The air valve integrates the functions of inflation and venting in one unit by only one blower so as to simplify the structure and lower the cost.
