Abstract: A massage chair includes a seat and a backrest configured to support a user. A pair of side panels extend upward from opposing sides of the seat so as to form an armrest. A pivoting arm is coupled to at least one of the pair of side panels and the backrest and is configured to selectively rotate between a first position and a second position. The pivoting arm extends over a portion of the massage chair in the second position and is automatically biased between the first position and the second position. A roller mechanism is included within the pivoting arm to selectively agitate a surface of the pivoting arm so as to induce a massage effect. The roller mechanism is controlled via a remote control and can operate between a plurality of settings including an on/off setting, a rotational speed setting, a motion setting, and a heat setting.

Abstract: The present invention is a touchscreen-based control system for massage chairs that includes a touchscreen device. In another aspect, the present invention is a massage chair controlled by a touchscreen-based control system that includes a touchscreen-based control system. In a further aspect, the present invention is a massage chair controlled by a touchscreen-based control system that includes a touchscreen-based control system having a software program allowing a user to customize a massage function and save it in a memory thereby allowing the user to open or load the saved function. In a further aspect, the present invention is a massage chair controlled by a touchscreen-based control system wherein the massage chair includes an inflatable air-cell to provide massage effects in the footrest and armrest areas of a user.

Abstract: A massage chair includes a frame having a base frame and a backrest frame. The backrest frame pivotally couples to the base frame and operates between at least two positions. The backrest frame has a mechanical rotating joint and guide rail. The guide rail splits at the rotating joint when transitioning positions. An extendable footrest frame is included and pivots relative to the backrest frame. A foot massage airbag system includes a plurality of airbags coupled to the extendable footrest frame. An electronic circuit board has an embedded software program for regulating the position of the backrest frame and the footrest frame. Additionally, the electronic circuit board communicates with a compressor and valve to regulate operation of the airbags. Operation of the airbags induces a stretching effect upon a user as the airbags inflate to compress against the user and the extendable footrest frame extends.
