  • Patent number: 7485073
    Abstract: A muscle exerciser having a first pulley mounted on a motor shaft of a motor, a second pulley mounted on a pulley shaft and connected to the first pulley through a transmission belt, two transmission wheels respectively connected two ends of the pulley shaft, two transmission links connected to the wheels, and two sliding seats connected to the links. The transmission wheels are respectively connected to the transmission links oppositely such that the two sliding seats are moved close to or away from each other along sliding tracks when the wheels are rotated. Thus, the quick sliding of the sliders strengthens the muscle of the hands/feet placed on the sliding seats.

  • Patent number: 7285102
    Abstract: A dual use massage chair has inflatable and deflatable air bags and bladders in a chair back to provide a massage function and serve as a comfortable chair. The main structure thereof includes the air bags disposed at two sides of a seat and in a front cover, and the bladders and recovering springs disposed between a massage mechanism and a back frame. Inflating the air bags and the bladders respectively or simultaneously can form a separating space for separating the massage mechanism from a back of a human body and thus to form a comfortable sofa chair. Also, the bladders and the air bags may be deflated to recover the use of the normal massage chair. Thus, the utilities of the comfortable chair and the typical massage chair can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 7179239
    Abstract: A lower leg massage device includes a rotatable shaft having two actuating pins, two actuating devices solidly secured on the shaft, and two rotatable actuating devices rotatably attached onto the shaft and each having two opposite seats for selectively engaging with the actuator pins of the shaft. Four massage members are attached onto and to be vibrated by the actuating devices. The actuator pins may selectively engage with the one of the seats to rotate the rotatable actuating devices in one direction, and may engage with the other seat to rotate the rotatable actuating devices in the other direction, and to allow the massage members to be arranged either opposite to or parallel to each other.

  • Publication number: 20060288479
    Abstract: A massaging foot bath includes a main body, an air guide cushion, a pneumatic air pump, and an air pipe. The air guide cushion has a surface formed with a plurality of air holes each connected to the inside of the air guide cushion and the receiving chamber of the main body to deliver the air contained in the inside of the air guide cushion into the receiving chamber. Thus, the foot bath is operated in a pneumatic manner to produce pressurized air bubbles in the water contained in the receiving chamber to touch and massage the feet of a user, thereby providing a massaging effect to the user's feet.
